Chapter 246 Slapped Her Face Bad

"Don't you know? Your studio is worthless and nobody wanted it, so I reluctantly took it over... and your parents' clothing factory, rehabilitation center... I bought them all for a tenth of the price. Oh right, and your house in Waterfront Mansion was also bought by me... so now, everything you own belongs to me."

As Jiang Ning spoke calmly, Chu Qingxue's wide eyes welled up with tears, ruining her makeup.

She never imagined that one day she would be lying on the ground looking up at Jiang Ning.

She never imagined that one day Jiang Ning would look down on her from such a high position.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Song Lili and Wang Yang, who had been hesitating about whether to go and help Chu Qingxue, no longer hesitated.

Chu Qingxue was originally considered middle class by all accounts. Her parents owned a factory, and she also started a rehabilitation center with the help of Lu Junyan, making a lot of money from the rehabilitation center.

And now?

The factory now belongs to Jiangning, and so does the rehabilitation center.

What does Chu Qingxue have left?

A mountain of debt.

Song Lili and Wang Yang exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

Chu Qingxue, please don't bother them to borrow money!

"Lili, didn't you say there was an emergency at home?"

Wang Yang gave Song Lili a signal.

"Oh right, Qingxue, we'll be going now!"

Song Lili pulled Wang Yang along, and in the blink of an eye, they left Chu Qingxue's studio, which was being shut down.

Jiang Ning crossed his arms and asked the question knowingly:

"Huh? Aren't those two your best friends? How come they won't even help you up from the ground now that you've gone bankrupt?"

Chu Qingxue was enraged and embarrassed:

"Jiang Ning, don't be so smug! I, Chu Qingxue, will not fall like this. I still have Lu Junyan. Junyan loves me. The man you've been longing for your whole life will always love me! Even if you can take everything away from me, you can't take Lu Junyan away!"

Seeing that Chu Qingxue was still using Lu Junyan to provoke her, Jiang Ning scoffed.

"How stupid do you have to be to still think Lu Junyan will help you? If he really wanted to help you, you wouldn't be bankrupt right now, and he's already struggling to take care of himself!"

As Jiang Ning spoke, he looked at the design draft in his hand.

These are all Chu Qingxue's design drafts.

Chu Qingxue watched helplessly as Jiang Ning used the design drafts she had painstakingly drawn to polish her shoes, and then threw them all into the trash can.

"Jiangning!!"

Chu Qingxue lunged at Jiang Ning, but was stopped by a tall figure.

Bai Yichen pushed Chu Qingxue away and protected Jiang Ning.

"You should have asked me to come with you."

Jiang Ning knew that Bai Yichen was not blaming her.

"I was worried you were too busy with work!"

Bai Yichen smiled gently, his smile refined and elegant.

"Compared to you, work is nothing."

Jiang Ning thought Bai Yichen's words were quite cheesy, but they were also very pleasing to the ear.

"Oh, right, I see the moving company's truck has arrived. Let them come up!"

"good."

Jiang Ning was well-prepared; he acquired Chu Qingxue's studio on the same day and moved his own things in immediately.

Chu Qingxue could only watch from the sidelines as Jiang Ning usurped the position.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Bai Yichen gave the security guards a look, and the two guards immediately kicked Chu Qingxue out.

As dusk settles, the streets come alive with traffic.

Chu Qingxue walked alone on the main road.

She has nothing left now.

Company, house, car...

Even her parents were so angry that they said they would sever ties with her.

Chu Qingxue walked along the straight road, gazing at the endless road, feeling as if it were her debt with no end in sight.

Suddenly, a van stopped in front of her.

Before Chu Qingxue could react, two men who got out of the van forcibly dragged her into it.

The van drove all the way to the entrance of an adult products store in the suburbs.

Chu Qingxue was pushed and shoved by the man into the adult products store.

A dim light illuminated her face.

Her face was completely bloodless.

This adult store has a back room with a staircase leading to the basement.

Chu Qingxue's legs went weak as she went down the stairs, and she almost tumbled down the stairs.

The men who brought her there couldn't help but let out wicked laughter.

After the basement door was pushed open, there were quite a few people inside.

A burly foreigner covered in tattoos stood with two assistants beside him: a photographer holding a camera and a man adjusting a softbox and reflector.

The first thing Chu Qingxue saw was the simple but large iron bed in the center of the basement.

"No...I don't want to..."

She covered her mouth, choking back tears and trembling as she backed away, but before she could take a step back, the man next to her slapped her across the face.

"You've already signed a contract, how can you deny it? It's not like we haven't filmed before."

"Don't hurt her face, or we won't be able to film it later!"

"That's right, these are the products that Brother Long used to favor the most."

At this moment, the tattooed man stood up and came to Chu Qingxue.

His tall and robust physique could easily engulf Chu Qingxue entirely.

Chu Qingxue was terrified.

She knew all the men in the room, except for the photographer and his assistant.

The tattooed man grabbed Chu Qingxue's chin, and Chu Qingxue immediately felt a sharp pain as if her jawbone had been dislocated.

"Brother Kai...it hurts..."

Chu Qingxue was in so much pain that she couldn't close her mouth, and tears kept flowing.

"Tell me, why did you lie to Joker in the first place? You said you were the first love and white moonlight of the Lu Group's president, and that you could give Joker benefits... In the end, you still have to do this, don't you?"

The tattooed man, whom Chu Qingxue called Brother Kai, threw Chu Qingxue onto the large iron bed.

"Brother Long told me to tell you to film well. He wants to see it. If the filming is not as good as before, he will replace it with another batch of people until he is satisfied with the filming."

Chu Qingxue was already crying her eyes out.

She curled up in a ball, trembling, and could barely breathe.

"Stop crying, you'll look ugly if your makeup gets ruined. I'm doing this for your own good, or do you actually want to film more takes?"

Kai and his men laughed, but Chu Qingxue was still crying.

"Are you still going to cry? Go call Brother Long and tell him to send a few more people over."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxue was so frightened that she immediately wiped away her tears, but her instinctive panic made her cry even harder.

Kai had someone give Chu Qingxue a sedative injection, then winked at the others.

"Let's go in order!"

...

Lu's Group.

Lu Junyan was holding a morning meeting in the conference room.

His stomach pain is better today because Xiao Zhang brewed some traditional Chinese medicine for him.

However, even with the same recipe and the same cooking time, he felt that the medicine brewed by Jiang Ning was not as effective.

At that moment, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Xiao Zhang walked in, his face stern.

He came to Lu Junyan's side, leaned down and whispered something in Lu Junyan's ear.

Lu Junyan's sharp eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.

After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time.

The office was completely silent. All the executives present noticed that Lu Junyan was hesitating about something.

They rarely saw Lu Junyan so conflicted about something.

After a while, Lu Junyan stood up, coldly said "The meeting is adjourned," and then walked out of the meeting room.

Someone was waiting for him in the general manager's office.
