A female protagonist who suffers abuse in a novel? I'm flipping the table and going crazy on th

Butler Fang walked over at the opportune moment: "You should first think about whether the money you embezzled from the Lu family is enough to put you in jail."

In the past, I turned a blind eye out of respect for Madam, but now she wants to renege on her promise?

"Get your things and leave before we call the police, or I'll call the police right now."

Wang Fang's expression changed slightly, and she roared, "You're talking nonsense! We didn't embezzle anything!"

Butler Fang said fiercely, "The Lu family is under constant surveillance and has all the spending records. Every single expense you've made by falsifying accounts and skimming off the top is meticulously recorded. Do you want me to pull out the records and let you see for yourselves?"

Wen Qi scoffed: "Just send them all inside, so they won't be an eyesore here."

Wang Fang and the others were somewhat flustered upon hearing this.

Several people went up and grabbed Wang Fang's arms.

They all know in their hearts whether or not there has been any embezzlement.

Wen Qi knew what was going on at a glance: "With evidence, how could you let me get away? That's impossible."

Butler Fang nodded: "Yes, Madam, I'll arrange it right away."

"Let's go, let's go, let's pack our things and leave now," Wang Fang said, also panicking.

Wen Qi: "You just assaulted someone, you can't just let it go like that. Before you go in, you have to compensate my employee for medical expenses and emotional distress—"

Wang Fang rolled up her sleeves and showed them: "We were the ones who were beaten, are you being unreasonable?"

Wen Qicai didn't hesitate to say, "I'm being unreasonable, but the police are reasonable, Butler Fang."

Butler Fang understood Wen Qi's meaning perfectly and said to the bodyguards, "Take them away, make them pay for the medical expenses first, and then send them to the police station."

The bodyguards rushed in, grabbed Wang Fang and the others, and dragged them out despite their struggles and cries.

The cries and pleas for mercy from Wang Fang and the others faded into the distance.

The living room returned to silence, but the mess on the floor was still quite unpleasant to look at.

Lu Zhenhua glanced at Wen Qi, but dared not lash out. He instead snapped at Butler Fang, "What are you all standing there for? Get someone to clean this place up right now!"

Butler Fang instinctively wanted to order the servants around.

Then I remembered that the maid had just been taken away.

Momo glanced at the little girls beside her, but didn't dare to order them around. She found a broom and started sweeping herself.

Wang Cui felt increasingly uncertain.

The thought of the days ahead makes my scalp tingle with worry. How am I going to get through this?

Lu Jisheng, on the stretcher, took a breath: "Wen... push me over there."

Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, her heart filled with reluctance—

She just wanted to minimize her presence, but looking at Lu Jisheng's eager eyes, she couldn't refuse.

With a heavy heart, he reached out and grabbed the stretcher's handle, pushing it towards Lu Zhenhua's direction.

Lu Zhenhua felt a pang of heartache as he looked at his son being pushed towards him.

He was a perfectly normal person, but he's been ruined like this. He has to spread the word all over the internet about how deep his relationship with Wen Qi is.

They portrayed themselves as a loving couple.

Thinking about this, Lu Zhenhua felt a surge of resentment.

Oh, what a tragedy!

The girls stood neatly behind Wen Qi's sofa, forming a perfect row.

It has a powerful aura.

Lu Zhenhua composed himself and sat down on the sofa, glancing at the group of young people behind him.

His brows furrowed as he looked at Wen Qi: "What's going on? Who are these people?"

Wen Qi said with an air of arrogance, "I just hired her, and she'll be working for the Lu family from now on."

"Is this why you fired those servants?"

Lu Zhenhua's tone isn't very good.

Wen Qi: "What? Mr. Lu, are you feeling sorry for them? How about I have the bodyguards call them back right now, and you can take good care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days?"

Lu Zhenhua: "..."

Li Min looked at Lu Zhenhua with a smug expression, "Oh my, no wonder those servants said they wanted to stay in the Lu family until they were sixty or seventy."

I thought they were just joking, but it turns out Chairman Lu really wants to take care of them in their old age.

"Truly compassionate and merciful, a living bodhisattva incarnate!"

Xu Ruonan asked innocently, yet with a hint of doubt, "But... isn't taking care of one's parents in old age the son's responsibility? Isn't it usually the son who takes care of his parents?"

Zhu Mengmeng immediately chimed in, "Of course, it's the son's responsibility to take care of his mother in her old age. He's been draining my savings since I was a child, so he has to support me now that I'm grown up."

Li Rui tilted her head and looked at Lu Zhenhua: "Chairman Lu isn't the son of those servants, why should he take care of them in their old age?"

Liu Xiaotang made a startling statement: "Wait, could it be... that Chairman Lu is the son of those servants? Is that why he's taking care of them in their old age and seeing them off in their final days?"

"..."

A barrage of questions rained down on Lu Zhenhua like cannonballs.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Zhenhua shouted angrily.

Li Min immediately shook her head: "This wasn't what we said, it was those servants who just said they wanted to stay at the Lu family until they were sixty or seventy years old and retire."

Lu Zhenhua: "..."

Do the servants of the Lu family have such wicked thoughts?

What a load of crap!

Wen Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's right, they're willing to take care of someone in their old age and see them off in death, isn't that the same as being someone's son?"

Chairman Lu's awareness is truly unmatched by ordinary people; oh my, it's hilarious!

"Wen Qi!"

Lu Zhenhua slammed his fist on the table, both angry and frustrated: "I don't care what you hired them for, just keep your people in check and stop them from talking nonsense here."

Wen Qi shrugged: "I've been managing things perfectly well. Your family has to support so many people in their old age, and you're blaming us?"

Lu Zhenhua was so angry at Wen Qi's stubborn attitude that he got a headache.

Wen Qi looked at Butler Fang, who was sweeping the floor: "Butler Fang, go and lead them to choose rooms. Make sure they remember what they need to buy and go buy it immediately."

The housekeeper was once again ordered around. He stood up, holding a broom in one hand and a mop in the other, looking quite conflicted.

Wen Qi: "Xiao Cui, go sweep."

Wang Cui, whose name was called, subconsciously looked at Lu Zhenhua.

Lu Zhenhua was so angry he was completely absorbed in figuring out how to fool Wen Qi that he had no time to care about her.

Seeing that Lu Zhenhua didn't say anything, Wang Cui stomped her foot in anger, walked over and snatched the work from Butler Fang's hands.

Butler Fang immediately straightened his clothes and greeted the young girls with a smile: "Everyone, come with me, the rooms are all ready."

The girls looked at Wen Qi.

Wen Qi nodded: "Go ahead, just ask if you need anything, but don't try to save the Lu family money, the Lu family has plenty of money."

The girls' eyes lit up: "Okay, boss."

A group of people happily followed Butler Fang out of the living room.

Li Min was envious; they had finally gotten good jobs.

Lu Zhenhua wanted to say some things to Wen Qi alone, as it wouldn't be appropriate with outsiders present.

A group of girls left, and he looked at Li Min.

Li Min withdrew her gaze, calmly picked up her teacup, and drank her tea.

They showed no sign of getting up to leave.

Lu Zhenhua frowned and glanced at it again and again.

He glanced at her, and Li Min smiled and drank her tea.

There's a saying, what's it again? "I smile as soon as I see you."

"..."

Wen Qi glanced around and said, "Why are you staring at Sister Li like that? What, you want to take care of her in her old age?"

"puff--"

Li Min spat out a mouthful of water.

Lu Zhenhua's breathing also hitched, and he glared at Wen Qi: "Can't you think before you speak?"

"Come on, tell me, did you even think this through?" Wen Qi reached out and poured Li Min another cup of tea.

Li Min coughed lightly twice, her eyes flashing a warning.

My dear lady, we just want to have some gossip.

Do not disturb —

Lu Zhenhua was both angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to really offend Wen Qi.

After a few moments of silence, he changed the subject: "You don't need to worry about the Wen family and the Gu family. The Lu family will use all its resources to secure the greatest benefit for you and will never let you suffer any injustice."

Wen Qi scoffed: "Worried? Why would I worry? There are cameras everywhere in the coffee shop. I have all the evidence against me."

"..."

Wen Qini looked at him and said, "Oh, by the way, I saw Lu Dong's expression clearly too. Don't worry, even without the Lu family's help, I will make anyone who plots against me wish they were dead."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenhua felt a little scared.

Her fingers clenched slightly: "Once this matter is completely over, I will have Jisheng transfer half of his shares to your name. It will be the Lu family's compensation to you, and also a small token of my appreciation."

"Dad, what did you say?"

Lu Jisheng wanted to speak to Lu Zhenhua, but before he could get a word in edgewise.

They were all shocked to hear this.

Lu Zhenhua glared at him: "Shut up! I said I'd give it to you, so you have to!"

Lu Jisheng struggled to sit up, but to no avail: "Dad, my shares, I said I disagree, and that's final."

These are all the shares he has left.

Lu Zhenhua glared at him warningly: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

"dad--"

"Push him aside." Lu Zhenhua looked at Wen Wen.

Wen Wen held onto the stretcher and looked at Wang Cui for help.

Where should we push it?

She couldn't get it upstairs, and she could hear people talking no matter where she pushed it in the living room.

Push...out?

Wang Cui, holding a broom, weakly said, "Let's carry Jisheng to his room, he needs..."

Lu Zhenhua nodded.

Wang Cui didn't move and looked at Wen Qi.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenhua felt a tightness in his chest again. He glared at Wang Cui, then turned to the bodyguards outside the door and said, "Come in and carry the young master upstairs."

The bodyguard stood at the door without moving.

Lu Zhenhua stood up and looked towards the door.

Wen Qi said lazily, "Let's carry this piece of trash up there."

Four bodyguards came in and carried Lu Jisheng.

Lu Jisheng: "I'm not leaving, Dad."

Ignoring him, she was carried upstairs.

Lu Zhenhua stared at the bodyguard with a gloomy expression. When did the bodyguard stop listening to him?

What happened in just one day?

Wen Wen hurriedly followed behind, going upstairs.

Wang Cui, holding the broom, didn't dare to follow. Seeing her son being carried away, she silently went back to sweeping the floor.

Lu Zhenhua turned around and saw this scene, his brows furrowed.

Why is Wang Cui being so obedient?

Sister Li is drinking tea.

The young lady is really capable; she's managed to discipline the Lu family like this in just a few days.

Wen Qi looked at Lu Zhenhua.

He secretly thought to himself: This old man, Deng, really doesn't want to put in any effort at all.

He's shrewd enough to get his son's shares; he's got a better grasp of the situation than anyone else.

However, if shares are offered to you on a silver platter, why not take them?

Lu Zhenhua sat down on the sofa again.

Wen Qi composed herself and smiled, "Shares, right?"

Lu Zhenhua nodded.

Wen Qi: "Alright, Chairman Lu is so sincere, then I won't refuse. Let's sign the contract now."

Lu Zhenhua hesitated: "No rush. We have to wait until this matter is resolved and the storm has passed before I will have Jisheng transfer the shares. The timing is not right now."

Wen Qi's smile vanished instantly: "Heh, so, Chairman Lu, you're just making empty promises to me? What full support? Everyone knows about the shady dealings your Lu family has done. You're trying to use this to negotiate with me? Do you even have the right?"

Lu Zhenhua, realizing his thoughts had been exposed and fearing Wen Qi's anger, said, "No... that's not what I meant."

"Chairman Lu, you know what I mean. Either transfer the shares now, or I'll broadcast the Lu family's demise live right now. You decide what to do."

Lu Zhenhua was caught in a dilemma, feeling deeply frustrated.

What worries me most is that Wen Qi might suddenly decide to start a live stream—

The Lu family's stock price had just started to recover, and if Wen Qi were to cause another scene during her live stream...

The Lu family really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Okay! Okay! I'll go talk to Jisheng right now and have him transfer the shares to you."

Wen Qi: "Go ahead, I'll wait. Don't keep me waiting too long, or I can't guarantee what I might do."

Lu Zhenhua stood up and hurried upstairs.

Seeing this, Wang Cui, still holding a broom, hurriedly followed Lu Zhenhua upstairs.

Li Min turned to Wen Qi: "Do you think Lu Jisheng would agree?"

Wen Qi leaned back lazily: "He disagrees? Do you believe Lu Zhenhua could beat him up on the spot?"

Lu Zhenhua is now preoccupied with stabilizing the stock price and restoring his reputation. He'd rather have his son than let Wen Qi be kept at bay.

Li Min was shocked: "No way?"

"They have more than one son, Lu Jisheng."

Li Min clicked her tongue twice: "Goodness, the waters in the circle of the wealthy are really deep. Illegitimate daughters and sons are nothing new. Lu Jisheng's position as heir is not secure at all."

"Who can argue with that?"

The book is very stable, but nowadays, if they want to torture them physically and mentally, let them suffer in poverty.

Is there anything more agonizing than being poor?

Li Min had seen most of the play and stood up, saying, "Alright, I should go too."

Wen Qi raised an eyebrow: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's almost noon, eat first and then leave, it won't make a difference if you eat a little longer."

Li Min waved her hand: "I don't have time for a big meal. I have eight hundred things to deal with at the company. I'm meeting with a few people at noon to finalize the broadcast of 'Immortal Path'."

"You've worked hard. Once I'm done with things here, I'll arrange a vacation for you."

Li Min immediately smiled and said, "I'll remember that. Call me if you need anything."

Wen Qi nodded.

After Li Min left, the living room fell silent instantly.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Lu Jisheng was carried back to bed by bodyguards.

Impotent rage!

Wenwen stood aside, not even knowing how to offer any advice.

Feeling wronged, they never expected Wen Qi to straighten up and make things difficult for them.

Seeing Wen Wen's red eyes despite his anger, Lu Ji forced himself to suppress it and said, "Wenwen, I'm sorry you had to suffer like this."

Wen Wen wiped her eyes and didn't say anything.

Lu Jisheng's face darkened, and he was at a loss for words.

How did things get to this point?

A few minutes later, Lu Zhenhua and Wang Cui hurriedly went into the bedroom.

Upon seeing Lu Zhenhua, Lu Jisheng seemed to have found an outlet for his anger: "Dad, how...how could you give my shares to Wen Qi?"
