Chapter 124

Jiang Qianru looked at the overwhelming reports flooding the internet, feeling extremely panicked.

She had thought her plan was flawless, but somehow, the male lead had become Chu Tianhao.

She still had a video of the two of them in the dressing room.

She knew this was her trump card.

The Leng Corporation had already made its move online.

Yu Yue’s backer was indeed Leng Corporation.

If she were investigated…

Only then did Jiang Qianru regret her actions.

Her plan seemed complete, but there were still many flaws.

It was all because of her momentary jealousy.

But what was done was done, and there was no turning back.

The most important thing now was to protect the video.

With this thought, Jiang Qianru hurriedly took the camera and returned to the hotel.

Things on Weibo were extremely heated.

The rumors about Chu Tianhao and Yu Yue putting a green hat on Leng Yao reignited heated discussions after Su Hua confirmed it on Weibo.

It topped the real-time trending searches on Weibo.

Leng Corporation’s official account also posted a Weibo, stating they would sue Su Hua.

In response, Su casually replied with another Weibo post.

SpendThriftV : “Heh, there are plenty of people surnamed Leng in this world. Why is someone so eager to take the blame?”

Originally, Leng Yao wouldn’t have made such a low-level mistake, but he was so angered by Su Hua that he lost his rationality.

He secretly tried to acquire shares of the Gu Corporation, only to find that someone was always outbidding him.

Upon investigation, it turned out to be Su Hua.

Leng Yao was so furious that he almost coughed up blood.

“President, Miss Yu is here.”

Leng Yao was still fuming.

Hearing that the culprit had arrived, he said irritably, “Let her in.”

When Yu Yue entered the office, she saw Leng Yao sitting on the sofa.

His suit jacket was thrown on the floor, his tie loosened and hanging loosely around his neck.

When he saw Yu Yue, his gaze shot over like icy daggers.

Seeing such an unfamiliar side of Leng Yao, Yu Yue’s heart trembled with grievance.

As her boyfriend, couldn’t he at least comfort her?

“Explain.”

His calm words seemed indifferent, as if he didn’t care.

Yu Yue’s nose twitched, and she couldn’t hold back.

All her grievances poured out as she squatted down and cried for a long time.

Yet, Leng Yao just watched coldly.

“Do you not believe me?”

Leng Yao said nothing.

In his heart, Yu Yue hadn’t been with him because she loved him, but because he gave her what she wanted.

If someone else could offer her the same, she could leave him for them as well.

“Heh.”

Yu Yue let out a mocking laugh.

How ridiculous—she had lived another life and still believed in men.

“I was drugged, and yes, I did sleep with Chu Tianhao. What else do you want to know?”

“Who did it?”

“I don’t know. But I suspect it was Jiang Qianru from our company.”

Yu Yue had regained her composure.

She should never have relied on anyone.

Other than herself, no one was truly dependable.

Leng Yao nodded.

“I’ll investigate this.”

He glanced at Yu Yue’s calm and rational demeanor and, for some reason, felt a surge of anger.

“Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

“What do I need to say? Our relationship was mutually beneficial from the start.”

Yu Yue’s cold words made Leng Yao abruptly stand up.

He walked over, grabbed her chin, and said harshly, “Yu Yue, do you even have a heart?”

A heart—she had one, but it was no longer his to hold.

“What? At this point, does President Leng want to say he likes me?”

To him, she was just a fleeting interest. How pitiful that she had given her heart to him.

Leng Yao, seething with rage, kissed her roughly.

He tore at her clothes while squeezing her skin.

“Did that man touch you like this too? Did he kiss you? Hmm?”

Fragments of broken memories flashed through her mind.

Yu Yue felt humiliated and started crying again.

“What? Just a touch from me makes you this upset?”

Leng Yao was even angrier at her reaction.

In his thirty-some years of life, he had never cared so much about a woman.

“I won’t stop today.”

“No, don’t… I don’t want this. Please.”

Yu Yue’s crying didn’t stop Leng Yao; it only fueled his anger.

His woman had been touched by another man!

The thought drove him crazy—he wanted to mark every inch of her.

Outside the office.

The secretary listened to the muffled sounds of the man’s heavy breathing and the woman’s sobbing pleas.

He felt extremely conflicted.

Should he step in or stand guard?

Su Hua cut off the mental image in her mind and clicked her tongue twice.

“Leng Yao is really living by one principle.”

De’er was curious: “What principle?”

“There’s nothing in this world that a night of intimacy can’t solve. If one night doesn’t work, try two.”

“…” Host, is it really okay for you to turn a romance story into this kind of tragedy?

“The more tragic, the better.”

Due to the overwhelming scandal surrounding Yu Yue and Chu Tianhao, Power Over the World halted filming again.

A drama being halted three times for various reasons was quite a feat.

If there were an award for production delays, Power Over the World would definitely win it. Congratulations, Director Luo.

Director Luo: “I don’t feel happy about this. Thanks!”

Regardless of what happened to Power Over the World, Immortal Sword Fate continued filming smoothly.

Compared to the chaos of the other production team, Director Tian of Immortal Sword Fate felt immensely relieved.

Their team was peaceful, filming was on schedule, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Plus, there was great food and drinks.

Truly the peak of his career.

Leng Yao’s attempt to secretly acquire Gu Corporation ultimately failed.

On the other hand, Su Hua managed to collect scattered shares while obstructing Leng Yao’s plans.

She transferred all her shares to Father Gu.

This instantly boosted Father Gu’s shares to over 50%, giving him absolute control.

As for where Su Hua got so much money, she simply said she earned it. Father Gu didn’t question her further.

He trusted his daughter—she would never do anything illegal. Plus, her recent display of business acumen convinced him she had earned it herself.

This was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Before long, Immortal Sword Fate moved to a mountainous region for filming.

Harsh conditions? No, not at all.

Whatever was lacking in the mountains, Su Hua brought it over.

With wealth comes privilege, and she absolutely wouldn’t let Lu Yunche suffer.

The cast and crew watched with envy.

This wasn’t just a sponsorship relationship—if this was what being “kept” looked like, they were all willing to sign up.

Some crew members even started leaking details online about Su Hua’s lavish spending on Lu Yunche.

Since Su Hua didn’t get angry, people became even bolder.

After all, they can’t be the only ones eating the dog food, they should share it with everyone.

In the end, Leng Yao, being the so-called “son of fate,” managed to ride out the storm.

Over time, the online discussions about Yu Yue and Chu Tianhao faded away.

“You… who are you?”
