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

Gu Ting didn't mind his cold attitude.

He sat down on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Lu Jisheng, scrutinizing him closely.

To be honest, he felt a little guilty.

In the instant the car accident occurred, an instinctive action was taken, using Lu Jisheng as a human shield to block the fatal impact.

Lately, he has been thinking carefully about the moment the car accident happened.

The more I think about it, the more mysterious this matter seems.

Such a high-speed and violent impact is enough to instantly wreck a vehicle and cause serious injury or death.

Everyone in the car survived, but only Lu Jisheng, who was used as a shield, was truly seriously injured and suffered from chronic illnesses. The others all sustained minor injuries, none of which were serious.

The police also investigated the surveillance footage, repeatedly watching and analyzing it in slow motion, and were all amazed.

I have never seen anything so bizarre.

Normally, a collision would result in a fatal accident. Their car first crashed into the Lu family's car, and then later crashed into the Lu family's house.

Once is a coincidence, but twice is quite mysterious.

Both Wen Qi and Lu Jisheng seemed to possess a certain amount of luck.

The police station has almost turned car accident injuries into a legend; even veteran officers who have been in the force for many years have never seen such a bizarre car accident.

Lu Jisheng squinted, and could vaguely see Gu Ting sizing him up.

My mood was extremely bad, and I felt suffocated and irritable all over.

Gu Ting was also one of the instigators of this car accident, and Lu Jisheng's restraint in not turning against him was already an act of extreme forbearance.

If it were before, even if Gu Ting hadn't broken any of his hands or feet, he would have skinned him alive.

Gu Ting saw Lu Jisheng clenching his hands and knew that he was enduring something.

Everyone in the industry knows what kind of temper Lu Jisheng used to have; he was arrogant and high-profile in everything he did, and his eyes seemed to be on the top of his head.

They seem to be keeping a much lower profile now.

Regarding Lu Jisheng's condition after the car accident, he had someone check his medical records at the hospital, and it was very serious.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they survived, they would be bedridden for a year or two, completely unable to move.

It's only been a week, and it looks like he can move his arms and everything else again.

He looked quite well, showing no signs of the weakness often associated with serious injuries and life-threatening conditions.

Not only is she incredibly lucky, but her recovery ability also seems to be quite amazing.

Zhu Mengmeng carried freshly brewed tea out of the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in front of Gu Ting.

"Mr. Gu, please have some tea."

Gu Ting looked up at the girl in front of him and found her increasingly familiar.

After examining her closely for a few seconds, I recognized her: "You're... the little girl from Little Swan?"

Zhu Mengmeng grinned, revealing her sweet little tiger teeth, and said with a hint of surprise, "President Gu still remembers us?"

"Of course, it left a deep impression. What are you all doing here?"

Gu Ting looked at the other little girls and found that they all seemed to be little swans.

These young girls are artists from Xinghai Entertainment, not in the entertainment industry. Why are they all gathered around the Lu family's house?

"We are now working for the Lu family," Zhu Mengmeng said frankly.

"Work?"

Gu Ting raised an eyebrow slightly.

They are all young and talented girls, how could they do such trivial chores and wait on others?

Zhu Mengmeng nodded: "Yes."

Gu Ting looked at the three young girls surrounding Lu Jisheng's stretcher, becoming even more curious: "What are you all doing around President Lu?"

Li Rui looked up with a bright smile and said sincerely, "The boss was worried that President Lu would be too bored and depressed lying in bed all day, so he specially arranged for us to keep him company, telling him internet memes and reading popular anecdotes to relieve his boredom."

"..."

Gu Ting was surprised. Wen Qi was actually quite considerate and thoughtful in private, even taking into account Lu Jisheng's mental recovery.

I felt a little depressed.

Despite the commotion she caused outside, Wen Qi still cared about Lu Jisheng.

Lu Jisheng's eyelashes trembled slightly and violently, his eyes were tightly closed, and his heart was in a panic.

He was afraid that Gu Ting would overhear the girls' complaints.

What you fear most is exactly what happens.

Li Rui and her two companions were very dedicated, scrolling through the latest trending online comments one by one on their phones.

The content offered no comfort or solace whatsoever; it was entirely filled with netizens mocking Lu Jisheng and ridiculing his extramarital affair.

The hilarious and popular joke mocking his blindness and favoritism towards Wen Wen.

As Gu Ting listened, he felt less depressed.

One second I was marveling at Wen Qi's thoughtfulness, gentleness, and meticulousness.

The next second it dawned on me: this wasn't a thoughtful way to relieve boredom, it was clearly a way to kill someone and destroy their spirit!

The person involved was lying there unable to move, forced to listen to all sorts of creative criticisms of themselves from netizens.

Only Wen Qi could come up with such a torturous method; it's insidious!

Footsteps came from the stairwell.

Gu Ting turned around at the sound and saw Wang Cui carrying a basin of water, coming down from upstairs.

The once pampered and elegant Mrs. Lu has changed completely.

Her pajamas were covered in dust and looked hazy, and her hair was messy and disheveled, with no style whatsoever.

He had heavy dark circles under his eyes, his face was sallow and haggard, and he looked as if all his energy had been drained away.

He was listless, numb, and exhausted; even his walk exuded a sense of listlessness and dejection.

Wang Cui placed the heavy basin of water heavily at the top of the stairs, picked up a rough rag, bent over, and numbly wiped the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, a little girl stood with her arms crossed, staring at Wang Cui.

Gu Ting: "..."

It's bizarre, so very bizarre.

Before he could process what he was seeing, another series of footsteps sounded.

Zhao Wan also carried a basin of water downstairs, followed closely by another little girl.

Zhao Wan changed the water in the basin, squatted on the cold floor, and carefully wiped the floor.

Her condition was even worse than Wang Cui's; her eyes were empty and numb.

Gu Ting was completely dumbfounded.

Wang Cui and Zhao Wan are both well-known wealthy wives in the business district of City A, who never lift a finger to do housework.

Now, the two of them are wiping the floor and the stairs, and the little girl is watching them the whole time.

Can someone tell him what the current situation is like for the Lu family?

The scene is a bit scary.

The sound of a cane hitting the ground came from the doorway.

Grandpa Lu, leaning on his cane, hurried towards the living room.

With unsteady steps and a swaying body, he almost slipped and fell to the ground when he reached the entrance.

Seeing this, Gu Ting stood up.

The old man's trembling and unsteady appearance made Gu Ting's heart pound with anxiety, fearing that the old man would collapse to the ground at any moment.

Grandpa Lu steadied himself and walked into the living room. Gu Ting greeted him politely, "Grandpa Lu."

Grandpa Lu leaned on his cane, taking several heavy breaths before finally calming his disordered breathing.

He looked up and scrutinized the newcomer, finally recognizing Gu Ting after a long pause: "You're that boy from the Gu family?"

"It's me, Grandpa Lu," Gu Ting replied politely.

"What brings you to the Lu family?" Old Master Lu asked warily.

"I've come to see Miss Wen. She was involved in such a serious car accident because of me. I've been following up with the police on the matter, and I took the time to visit her today."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

As long as they're not here to discuss shares, that's fine.

Seeing that Gu Ting's mind was working, she said, "Speaking of the car accident, my Jisheng was truly implicated by your Gu family, suffering such severe injuries that he's bedridden. Doesn't President Gu have any intention of showing any concern?"

Gu Ting: "..."

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.

It must be admitted that Lu Jisheng's serious injury was indeed caused by being unjustly implicated in the Gu family's grudges.

Ultimately, the Lu family was indeed the victim, and it was only reasonable for Old Master Lu to demand an explanation.

"Look at our Jisheng, look what he's become."

Seeing that he remained silent, Old Master Lu's tone became a bit harsher.

With a plan in mind, all the compensation from the car accident lawsuit would go to Wen Qi, and the Lu family wouldn't get a single penny.

Since there is no hope for official compensation, demanding a sum of money privately is not considered a breach of contract.

"The compensation issue related to the car accident is currently going through formal legal procedures. The final amount of compensation determined will be paid in full by the Gu family, without any delays."

Gu Ting was also clever in this regard and could understand what the old man meant.

Although the method of using Lu Jisheng as a human shield was indeed not honorable.

But given how the Lu family had previously tormented and exploited Wen Qi, why should he privately compensate the Lu family?

If we follow proper legal procedures, and with Wen Qi, who is obsessed with money, overseeing things, the Lu family will absolutely not be able to gain even a single benefit from this car accident.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu's face instantly darkened.

Before he could press the issue, Gu Ting changed the subject: "By the way, Grandpa Lu, I just came in and saw that the front yard is completely empty. Are you planning to replant some greenery, or completely renovate the courtyard?"

Old Master Lu's eyes darted around.

If Gu Ting knew that he was being punished by wielding a hoe to dig and plant crops every day, he would probably be laughed at by outsiders.

"Isn't there a trend of reminiscing about past hardships and appreciating present happiness online these days? The younger generation in my family has lived too comfortably and affluently since childhood, spoiled and pampered, and has no idea about the hardships their elders endured to build their lives."

I did this intentionally to let them experience poverty, to teach them a lesson, and to make them appreciate the life they have now.

Grandpa Lu adopted the composed demeanor of an elder, feigning profundity.

Gu Ting's expression flashed with admiration, and he sighed, "Grandpa Lu has a broad vision and great courage, which is truly admirable. My grandfather often said that the early years were extremely difficult and hard-won."

Grandpa Lu floated down the steps: "Yes, my father's generation was rooted in the countryside, working hard every day, struggling to make ends meet, their suffering was indescribable. When I was young, I also witnessed the hardships of educated youth going to the countryside and earning work points to survive."

Although I didn't personally go to the countryside to work, I know how hard that was.

Now, the house is a simulation of the harsh environment of the 1960s and 70s, allowing these arrogant young people to experience a tough time and temper their spoiled nature.

His eloquent speech filled Gu Ting with even greater admiration, and he nodded in praise: "Grandpa Lu is reasonable and knows how to educate people; he is truly admirable."

No wonder Miss Wen has been saying she's been too busy lately; she must be exhausted from all the household chores and the stress of working day and night.

Butler Fang listened silently, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

Are they still trying to recall past hardships and appreciate present happiness, and to educate the younger generation?

This is an outrageous boast!

When the young mistress comes downstairs and hears this nonsense, she'll probably turn on him on the spot and make him redouble his efforts to cultivate the land and properly remember the bitterness of the past.

Grandpa Lu was so flattered that he felt physically and mentally satisfied, and his vanity was overflowing.

Although the steward may be in a sorry state in private, the Lu family must never lose face or prestige in front of outsiders.

Li Rui, Zhang Qing, and Wang Hanzhi exchanged a knowing glance.

The volume of the joke reading suddenly increased, and the clear voice resounded throughout the living room.

The comments under Lu's official account were hilarious and popular, with netizens making fun of Lu Jisheng's love-struck mind, mocking his favoritism towards his mistress, and ridiculing the scandals of the Lu family's wealthy lifestyle.

Every word is clear, every sentence is poignant.

Lu Jisheng was in a passive position and unable to refute.

The smug smile on Old Master Lu's face froze, and he was so embarrassed that he stomped his toes on the ground.

He looked up and scolded, "You lot, keep your voices down! Don't you see we have important guests here? Don't you know any manners?"

Li Rui looked completely innocent: "Grandpa, we're paid by the boss, so we have to work hard and keep Mr. Lu entertained. If we slack off, we won't feel at ease taking this money."

Wang Hanzhi: "Yes, yes, yes."

Wang Hanzhi swiped his finger and saw the entertainment page refresh: "The Legend of Immortals has a release date! It's officially announced that it will premiere online on August 18th! Look at the poster, the female lead with the pig's head is censored with mosaic."

Li Rui exclaimed in surprise, "It's scheduled for release? Didn't they say it couldn't be broadcast?"

Zhang Qing flipped through the pages a few times: "This major drama was personally secured by President Lu, who personally arranged the endorsement and resources. It's a script tailor-made for Wen Wen, a story of a rising female lead."

If this can't be broadcast, won't the company and Wen Wen have to pay a huge amount of breach of contract fees?

Lu Ji, who had been numb, suddenly opened his eyes: "The release date for 'Immortal Path' is set?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, look!" Li Rui kindly handed him her phone screen.

When Lu Jisheng saw this, he almost fainted from anger on the spot.

The official promotional poster for the release date remains unchanged in terms of composition, scene setting, and character design.

The only thing clearly marked on the female lead Wen Wen's face was the word "Female Lead".

A huge pink pig's head pattern completely covered her face, and in the very center of the pig's head were two bold, black characters: "Female Pig".

Clear and straightforward, without any concealment.

At this moment, the official Weibo comment section has been completely overrun, with countless hilarious comments flooding the entire internet, and the popularity is soaring.

[Hahaha, Xinghai Entertainment is truly amazing, they practically slapped the words "female lead" right in the protagonist's face!]

[Hahaha, if it weren't for the fact that it was Wen Wen, who would be able to tell?]

My God, this is the first time I've ever seen a female lead with a pig's head.

Wow, that's really intense! I'm really looking forward to it!

This method is too ruthless; it's like killing someone by destroying their spirit—it's utterly ridiculous!

[The female lead is confirmed! Her character matches her style perfectly—a perfect match!]

Hearing their conversation, Gu Ting also opened the entertainment homepage on his phone.

The pinned post was the news about the release date of "Immortal Journey".

When I saw that bizarre and hilarious pig head poster, I couldn't help but cough a few times on the spot.

He clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, desperately trying to hide his laughter. His shoulders trembled slightly as he struggled to suppress it.

This promotional method is truly novel and explosive.

It's unique and very eye-catching.

Although Grandpa Lu couldn't understand online operations, he could deduce the clues from the expressions and conversations of the others.

Wen Wen must have made a huge fool of herself again.

Anger surged within her, and she glared fiercely at Lu Jisheng, her eyes filled with disappointment and disappointment.

Lu Jisheng's eyes were filled with hostility.

There are countless ways to insult someone, but Wen Qi chose the most vicious, hurtful, and humiliating one.

He could almost imagine how devastated Wenwen would be if she saw this poster.

This novel, "The Immortal Path," was created by him with his heart and soul, and he spent a lot of money to tailor it specifically for Wen Wen.

Personal investments, brand endorsements, and business collaborations have combined to amount to hundreds of millions.

The intention behind all this was to use the huge amount of connections and resources to solidify Wen Wen's position as a top star in the entertainment industry through this major drama.

He had imagined countless scenarios for the show to become a viral hit, but he never expected it to end up being released in such a ridiculous and universally ridiculed way.

Instead of making Wen Wen famous, it turned her into a laughing stock on the internet and the biggest joke in the Chinese entertainment industry.
