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

Wen Qi, dressed in loose loungewear and wearing soft-soled slippers, lazily walked downstairs.

Butler Fang, with his sharp eyes, spotted the figure immediately and quickly stepped forward: "Young Madam."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the living room turned their heads to look towards the stairwell.

Upon hearing the name "Wen Qi," Lu Jisheng felt an urge to tear her to pieces and scatter her ashes.

Gu Ting saw Wen Qi coming downstairs and stood up.

Old Master Lu's face darkened considerably.

In just a few days, Wen Qi's name has become incredibly popular, making him the most feared figure in the entire elite circles of City A.

Yangxin Construction and Jiayi Chain Hotel are both well-known companies in the industry, and are by no means small companies that can be easily shaken.

However, Wen Qi managed to bankrupt two companies in just a few days.

Old Master Lu had long thought that online public opinion alone could not possibly have achieved this level of success.

Only those with strong connections and capital backing can do things so cleanly and efficiently.

There might be someone behind Wen Qi.

Wang Cui's gaze towards Wen Qi was also filled with hatred.

She had her phone taken away by Nanbei, and learned from Grandpa Lu that Yangxin Construction had gone bankrupt.

It's obvious that her family has been calling her nonstop these past few days.

Wen Qi glanced around, taking in the various expressions on everyone's faces: "Why is it so lively?"

Butler Fang: "Everyone just saw the latest entertainment news and, out of curiosity, chatted about it casually for a bit."

"What new things can there be in the entertainment industry that are worth all of you crowding around to watch?"

Wang Hanzhi announced the good news: "Boss, our company's 'Immortal Journey' has officially been scheduled for release! It will premiere online on August 18th!"

Wen Qi learned from Li Min a few days ago: "So that's what it is. This is a film that our company has invested heavily in. After it airs, remember to invite your friends and family to watch it more often to help boost the viewership and support your own production."

"Don't worry, boss, we'll definitely promote it with all our might!" Zhang Qing immediately responded, full of enthusiasm: "Our drama is well-produced and generates a lot of buzz; it's guaranteed to be a huge hit when it premieres!"

"Thank you for your kind words. If this drama really becomes a huge hit, I'll give everyone in the company a super big red envelope at the end of the year."

Wen Qi was able to guess the current online topics.

Absolutely packed!

The group of girls were overjoyed and cheered in unison, "Thank you, boss!"

They are all full of enthusiasm and will definitely mobilize their whole family and relatives to help promote the show after it starts airing, so as not to let down the boss's generous reward.

Wen Qi turned her gaze and it landed on Old Master Lu.

Their eyes met, and Old Master Lu felt guilty, his gaze darting away, unable to meet her eyes.

Gu Ting spoke up at the opportune moment: "Miss Wen."

Wen Qi turned to look at him: "Why are you here?"

"I came here today specifically to process the transfer of ownership of the manor for Miss Wen."

Wen Qi's mood visibly improved upon hearing this: "Which part of the manor?"

They are exceptionally good at getting things done.

Gu Ting took out the prepared estate property documents, floor plans, and ownership certificates from his briefcase and handed them to Wen Qi.

Wen Qi reached out and took it, then looked down and carefully examined it. The more she looked, the more shocked and satisfied she became.

The manor is located in the core area of ​​the Gu family villa district.

It belongs to the same top-tier wealthy area as the Lu family mansion and estate.

This area is extremely valuable; even a small villa in this area has a market price of at least 200 million yuan, and fully furnished detached houses are even more scarce and difficult to find.

The apartment that Gu Ting gave her was in a superb location, occupied a vast area, and was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped—a true luxury home.

Wen Qi really didn't expect Gu Ting to be so generous and lavish.

She looked up at Gu Ting, her eyes filled with certainty: "Mr. Gu, are you really sure you want to give me this manor for free? It's quite valuable."

Gu Ting nodded without the slightest hesitation.

In his heart, no amount of wealth or expensive real estate could compare to the whereabouts of his mother.

Let alone a manor, even if it meant giving up all his wealth and risking his life, he would agree without hesitation and would never go back on his word.

Wen Qi looked at him quietly for a long while, then slowly nodded: "Deal."

Grandpa Lu was completely confused, but he accurately picked up on the word "manor" and couldn't contain his curiosity, asking, "What manor?"

Wen Qi glanced at her coldly: "Why aren't you in the yard planting herbs? What are you doing squatting here making a fuss?"

Old Master Lu was humiliated in public, but he dared not get angry. He could only bite the bullet and try to make amends, putting on the airs of an elder: "We have distinguished guests visiting our home. As an elder of the Lu family, I have to come and inquire about their needs."

Wen Qi: "Now that you've finished greeting everyone, hurry up and go plant the herbs."

Being reprimanded so bluntly, Old Master Lu couldn't save face.

Turning to Gu Ting, she tried to salvage some face from outsiders: "Gu family brat, what exactly happened with giving her the manor?"

Gu Ting: "Miss Wen has done me an enormous favor, and this manor is a thank-you gift I have prepared."

Grandpa Lu asked again, "Is it because of the Gu family's car accident?"

"no."

Old Master Lu didn't believe it at all: "Young Master Gu, this is no way you handle things. Back then, your Gu family hired someone to chase the car and deliberately caused an accident."

My grandson was the most seriously injured and suffered the most in the entire car accident. If we're talking about compensation, this gift of gratitude should go to my grandson, not anyone else!

He had just noticed that the market value of the manor was a solid 300 million, so such a generous gift was no small matter.

Gu Ting explained helplessly, "Grandpa Lu, this matter has nothing to do with the car accident; it's a separate matter of social interaction, and we can't confuse the two."

Old Master Lu, already prejudiced, wouldn't listen to a word and pressed on relentlessly: "Don't try to fool me. If it weren't for the car accident, what great help could Wen Qi have given you that would warrant a multi-million dollar estate as a thank-you gift?"

Wen Qi lost her patience: "Old man, are you asking for a beating?"

Old Master Lu: "..."

Gu Ting: "..."

Wen Qi: "Not doing any work all morning, just lounging in the living room being lazy and noisy, that counts as absenteeism, a fine of five million, to be transferred."

Grandpa Lu was both angry and bewildered: "What do you mean, 'missed work'?"

Wen Qi looked up sharply: "Are you working right now?"

"We have guests at home, and as an elder..."

"The customer is here to see you? Mind your own business, you're just slacking off. Hurry up and transfer the money, or I'll slap you when I'm in the best mood."

Old Master Lu's blood pressure soared, knowing full well that Wen Qi meant what she said and would actually dare to punish him in public.

He obediently took out his phone and transferred five million.

When transferring funds, a special note was added: "This is a voluntary gift; it will never be retrieved, and there will be no disputes."

Having suffered a great loss once, one will naturally not make the same mistake twice.

He would not leave Wen Qi with any leverage to harm him.

Wen Qi was satisfied when she saw the transfer notification: "Alright, now that you've paid, don't stand around in the way. Go get back to work."

Grandpa Lu said aggrievedly, "I've already paid the fine, why should I still have to work?"

"Butler Fang, explain the rules to him properly."

Butler Fang immediately stepped forward, speaking clearly and logically: "Sir, our old house has clear rules. Paying a fee and requesting leave is a legal way to take time off."

However, being caught slacking off is a violation of rules and regulations. A fine is a punishment, but the assigned work still needs to be completed; it cannot offset the violation.

Old Master Lu is going crazy.

"Li Bo".

Li Bo entered the living room: "Young Madam!"

"Take the old man out and keep a close eye on him. Today's quota is two hundred herbs. If he's missing even one, the fine is ten thousand. This fine will be split equally among all the members of your security team."

Li Boxing readily agreed, "Yes, young mistress, I promise I'll keep a close eye on them!"

Who wouldn't be eager to make money like this!

Old Master Lu was trembling with anger, pointing at Wen Qi, his voice shaking: "Wen Qi, you...you've gone too far!"

Two bodyguards stepped forward and firmly supported him from both sides.

Without allowing any resistance, they took the person away from the living room and sent them to the courtyard to work.

Gu Ting was stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

He truly hadn't expected that Old Master Lu would have absolutely no say in front of Wen Qi.

Wen Qi turned her head and glanced at him: "They really won't stop until they're fighting."

In that casual turn of his head, Gu Ting saw the back of Wen Qi's head.

The scene of the car accident that day was still vivid in Wen Qi's mind; her head was covered in blood.

He was subsequently detained at the police station and never had time to come and see the place.

Seeing that a large patch of hair had been shaved off the back of Wen Qi's head, and that the wound was still bright red, was a shocking sight.

Gu Ting felt a surge of guilt.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Wen Qi's forehead.

Her forehead appeared unharmed, but a closer look revealed a shallow scab hidden beneath the wispy strands of hair.

It's just cleverly hidden by her hair, so you can't notice it unless you look closely.

Gu Ting's guilt doubled.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qi wasn't busy at all; it was most likely because part of the back of her head had been shaved off.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

Wen Qi was purely implicated by her own actions, suffering serious injuries and having her image ruined for no reason.

Gu Ting secretly made up his mind.

He insisted on finding the top styling team in the country to create a super natural wig for Wen Qi.

Besides that, he must find a way to make amends to Wen Qi as much as possible.

Wen Qi was completely unaware of the complex emotions swirling within the person beside her.

They had no idea that they had inexplicably gained a sucker who was obsessed with making amends to them.

Zhu Mengmeng made Wen Qi a cup of hot coffee.

Wen Qi took a sip of her coffee, then turned to Gu Ting: "When can this estate be transferred to my name?"

Gu Ting snapped out of his daze: "The paperwork is complete, and we can finish the whole process today."

"Okay, I'll have my lawyer handle it later and follow up on the whole process."

"no problem."

Gu Ting responded, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "So... what's the current situation with the Lu family? Do they need any help?"

After a series of actions, it became clear that not much of what Old Master Lu had said was true.

"Family matters are none of the business of outsiders. A family cannot function without rules. What we are doing now is rectifying family traditions and reforming rules."

"Reform the rules? Can they honestly reform them?"

Wen Qi laughed: "Disobedient? A beating will make them behave."

Gu Ting: "..."

amount……

It's simple and straightforward, and it seems to be effective.

Wen Qi was too lazy to explain further and simply told him to go back first. "I have a lot of things to do here. Just wait for me tomorrow, I promise I'll give you a surprise."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Wen."

Gu Ting felt relieved, thanked them, and left the old house.

Wen Qi turned to the housekeeper and instructed, "Contact the most qualified and efficient demolition team in City A. Be on standby in the East District tomorrow."

Butler Fang immediately replied, "Yes, young mistress."

After listening to the whole thing, Lu Jisheng finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your relationship with Gu Ting? A manor worth hundreds of millions, just given away like that."

Gu Ting is a deep thinker and never does anything that results in a loss.

How could they give Wen Qi an expensive manor for no reason? This favor is too heavy, ridiculously heavy.

Wen Qi glanced at them coldly: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Too much curiosity can shorten your life."

Lu Jisheng was speechless for a moment, but dared not retaliate. Suppressing his emotions, he brought up another matter that bothered him: "Regarding the release date of 'Immortal Path,' the pig-head mosaic on Wen Wen's face, that was your doing, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it's me," Wen Qi said frankly.

Lu Jisheng frowned, suppressing his anger: "Your reckless actions will cause the show's reputation to collapse, public opinion to get out of control, and the company's reputation to suffer greatly."

Wen Qi scoffed, mockingly saying, "If this show can't be broadcast as scheduled, you'll be fully responsible for all the brands' triple breach of contract penalties and the project's losses. If you dare to take on the losses, we'll sign the contract and stop broadcasting right now."

If you're not brave enough, then stop babbling on and on in front of me.

Lu Jisheng was speechless.

He knew better than anyone the scale of "Immortal Path"—the initial investment, commercial endorsements, and brand collaborations involved a huge amount of money.

If the show can't be broadcast, the triple penalty for breach of contract, plus the project losses, will amount to more than 500 million yuan.

He now has nothing left but company shares that cannot be liquidated, and he has no liquid funds at all.

Let alone 500 million, they can't even come up with 5 million.

Wen Qi uttered two words: "Useless."

The word "light and flimsy" is truly heartbreaking.
