Chapter 35: Thirty-fourth Day after the Character Collapse
Qin Qingqing's way of handling the situation not only shocked a group of netizens, but also shocked her friends who were present at the scene.
When Lu Bai heard the sound, he came over——
Then I saw Qi Yanyan and others with starry eyes.
"Boss Lu, you didn't see it just now...your wife, my sister Qing, is so amazing!"
Qi Yanyan was the first to give him a thumbs up.
“…”
Lu Bai glanced at Qi Yanyan coldly, then glanced at the media person without saying a word; then he set his sights on Qin Qingqing.
No……
He saw it.
He saw the bullet screen in his live broadcast room.
I learned about Du Miaoyi's plan from the bullet screen...that's why I hurried over here.
Only now, things seem to be resolved?
"Are you okay?"
His expression softened for a moment.
"It's OK."
Qin shook his head gently.
After thinking about it, he added another sentence.
“But I am thinking: should I report this matter to the people in the old house as well?”
"Need not."
"Let's go directly to Du Miaoyi."
When Lu Bai said this, he regained his usual coldness.
At once……
I heard faint footsteps behind me.
His brows furrowed.
Qin Qingqing and others also heard the footsteps.
In fact, they not only heard the footsteps, but also saw the owner of the footsteps.
"You are... Zuo Xiangwan?"
Qi Yanyan and Gu Yuan looked at each other and spoke hesitantly.
"The popular young actress Zuo Xiangwan?!"
"Big star!"
"Just, what are you doing here? Are you lost???"
Tang Nian, Zhao Yueyue and other playboys lost all scruples and were so excited that they chattered!
Zuo Xiangwan, on the other hand, completely ignored what those little brats said.
Her gaze moved between Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing, then she looked straight at Lu Bai.
She slowed down for a moment before pretending to be calm...
"Mr. Lu, what happened to you just now?"
Last time, she tried to find out from Qin Qingqing why Lu Bai did not divorce his wife and remarry as planned, but failed.
I didn't act rashly anymore...
But wait with peace of mind.
Waiting for Mrs. Lu’s birthday party.
She knew that Mr. Lu would hold a new product launch event at the same time as Mrs. Lu’s birthday party.
Her idea was to meet President Lu directly at the press conference.
However, she waited until the day before the press conference as planned.
I suddenly learned that
Qin Qingqing is going to participate in a variety show with Lu Bai and his son!
Moreover, the recording of the pilot episode of this variety show will start soon!
Still live broadcast!
She was stunned at the time.
Confused and incomprehensible...
Don’t understand——
This clearly did not appear in the original novel's plot!
But now, it happened.
She questioned the system at the time.
[Isn't Qin Qingqing a minor supporting role?]
[Why didn't she follow the plot!]
The system didn't explain why.
It advised her to be patient and come to the new product launch event in person to confirm.
so……
She is here.
When we arrived, the old lady's birthday party had already ended; in the hall, Lu Bai was hosting a new product launch conference.
She found the right time to talk to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai's expression changed!
He turned aside and said a few words to the people beside him, then left everyone in the hall and at the new product launch conference.
At first, Zuo Xiangwan thought he had something urgent to do; until she subconsciously followed him and saw Qin Qingqing's figure.
Qin Qingqing?
It's her again.
She frowned and her eyes moved between Qin Qingqing and Lu Bai.
finally……
It still stopped at Lu Bai.
she asked aloud.
"Mr. Lu, what happened to you just now?"
"Why did he leave the new product launch conference alone, leaving everyone in the hall?"
Lu Bai frowned and turned back.
Then he spoke indifferently——
"This seems to have nothing to do with Miss Zuo."
His words completely choked Zuo Xiangwan to death.
but--
He was indeed right.
Although in the original plot of the novel, Zuo Xiangwan is Lu Bai's second wife, Lu Liye's gentle stepmother, and the goddess Zuo who has become popular all over the Internet; but that is also in the novel.
Now, she is just a "popular little flower" who has nothing to do with the Lu family.
Zuo Xiangwan’s eyelids twitched.
But in the end, he just smiled helplessly.
"How can it be irrelevant?"
"I am very much looking forward to your company's new products."
As a popular young actress who has nothing to do with the Lu family, there is nothing wrong with what she said.
After hearing this, Lu Bai's brows relaxed - he finally felt that her action of coming over to him was not so abrupt.
But he no longer looked at her.
Instead, he left a sentence——
"Then Miss Zuo can just go back to the lobby. There are still people in the lobby explaining the new products."
“…No need for that.”
Zuo Xiangwan was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"I have almost understood the general situation of your company's live streaming bracelet."
"But..."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Lu came out in such a hurry. He came to look for...Mrs. Lu."
She said the three words "Mrs. Lu" and paused for an ambiguous moment.
Then he looked straight at Qin Qingqing——
Obviously, it was done with some exploration.
Qin Qingqing of course noticed Zuo Xiangwan's gaze.
She became more and more certain: Zuo Xiangwan, like her, knew the plot and was responsible for the system.
Otherwise, even if Zuo Xiangwan came today for Lu Bai's new product launch, he would not have given her an "inquiring" look when he saw her again.
Qin Qingqing told her system about her new discovery.
The supporting role system was shocked!
Only then did he finally believe the fact that "Zuo Xiangwan also knew the plot and was responsible for the system."
[It's not bad!]
[Luckily we got there before her, and now Lu Bai and his son have entered the variety show and even filmed a pilot film!]
The system sighed heavily.
Qin Qingqing did not respond.
Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Xiangwan with a smile——
"Is it strange that Lu Bai came to see me?"
"I participated in a variety show with him, and the pilot show is currently being broadcast live."
"Miss Zuo, don't you know?"
“…”
Qin Qingqing's straightforward words left Zuo Xiangwan speechless.
Qin Qingqing doesn't care about her.
She turned back with a smile and looked at Lu Bai; continuing their previous topic -
"Should we go directly to confront Du Miaoyi?"
"Um."
Lu Bai nodded and actually ignored Zuo Xiangwan.
After the two of them finished communicating with each other, Lu Bai gave Lu Liye a look.
Lu Liye called the Lu family's servant to send the matchmaker away.
Then he quickly went to Du Miaoyi's place with Qin Qingqing and Lu Bai...
Qin Qingqing and the other two left.
Qi Yanyan, Gu Yuan, and Han Zirui had no reason to stay; they quickly followed the people in front of them and went to the front row to eat melons.
Tang Nian and other playboys were actually interested in saying hello to the big star Zuo Xiangwan.
pity……
Zuo Xiangwan ignored them completely and just stared at the backs of Qin Qingqing and the others as they left. He was silent for a while, then turned around and left.
Tang Nian and others had no choice but to leave on their own.
*
[System, you asked me to come to the press conference to confirm.]
[I am here.]
[But why haven’t I figured out the reason for the plot change?]
Zuo Xiangwan frowned.
The protagonist system was silent for a moment, then spoke hesitantly -
[Host, you ask: Could the change in the plot be related to Qin Qingqing's change?]
Qin Qingqing again?
Zuo Xiangwan's brows furrowed even more.
But think about it...
[Yes, it is possible.]
[After all, she was the one who replaced me and completed the storyline that should have belonged to me as the heroine!]
[Moreover——]
[At certain moments, is her character slightly different from what is described in the novel?]
[……Um.]
The protagonist system responded softly.
The words fell.
This person was unified, but once again fell into a strange silence.
Obviously, I haven't figured it out yet.
a long time--
The protagonist system sighed softly.
[Forget it, first think about how to get into a variety show; variety shows are your home turf.]
[Um.]
This time, it was Zuo Xiangwan who responded in a low voice.
*
Qin Qingqing and others were unaware of Zuo Xiangwan's new decision.
They just went to find Du Miaoyi.
Du Miaoyi was chatting and drinking tea with a few other ladies in the garden.
By the way, waiting for news from Meng Han!
Little did she know: Meng Han had betrayed her long ago.
until--
"Hey, I wonder how President Lu's new product launch went?"
"I heard that Lu's new product this time is a live broadcast bracelet."
"Speaking of live streaming bracelets, is this the one that Madam Lu used for the pilot live stream?"
"Should we go check it out?"
“…”
Next to them, several ladies were chatting animatedly.
But Du Miaoyi froze.
"live streaming?"
She spoke in confusion.
"yes."
"Today is Mrs. Lu's birthday party. Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu took us out to shoot the pilot episode of the variety show "Who is the Happiest Family?"
"Don't you know?"
Everyone looked back in surprise.
Some people even took out their cell phones and showed her the live broadcast link.
Du Miaoyi's face turned dark.
Without hesitation, I snatched their phones and clicked on the link——
Then I saw Qin Qingqing and others coming with great momentum!
She subconsciously wanted to contact Lin An.
Can--
Before she could even take out her own phone, she returned the lady's phone to her.
Then I saw Qin Qingqing's face.
Her face froze, and she subconsciously turned her gaze to her wrist.
As expected, I saw the live broadcast bracelet...
It's broken!
This time, not only did her plan B fail, it was also exposed to the public!
Du Miaoyi thought so and her mind went blank.
I turned around subconsciously and tried to escape...
Can--
How could Qin Qingqing and others let her go?
"Ms. Du."
Qin raised his voice softly, his voice still kind and obedient.
But it made Du Miaoyi's face turn pale.
"Um?"
Du Miaoyi gritted her teeth, stopped in her tracks and raised her head.
Qin Qingqing's eyes swept across Du Miaoyi's face, taking in her subtle expressions...
Innocent wink.
It seems that she knows about the "live broadcast" and also knows that her plan B has failed?
That?
She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Lu Bai.
"Now, what should we do?"
Yes.
Qin Qingqing followed Lu Bai's suggestion and went directly to confront Du Miaoyi; but after calling Du Miaoyi, she didn't know how to confront her.
She had no choice but to ask Lu Bai for help.
Lu Bai's eyelashes trembled.
All the anger that had accumulated because of Du Miaoyi's conspiracy dissipated completely in an instant.
He looked at Qin Qingqing and slightly curled the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"oh……"
Qin Qingqing nodded obediently.
Then I was caught off guard and got Lu Bai's smooth hair. (bu shi~)
Lu Bai had already "conquered" Du Miaoyi for her.
Qin Qingqing just touched her hair and felt that... the hair touched by Lu Bai still retained his usual coolness.
She frowned.
There is a live broadcast replay, and Lu Bai's "crusade" was very smooth.
With just a few words, he made Du Miaoyi apologize to Qin Qingqing with a pale face; he then casually waved his sleeves, took away Du Miaoyi's 0.1% of Lu's shares, and transferred them to Qin Qingqing as compensation.
【This... 0.1%? 】
The screen was filled with comments, and someone spoke in confusion.
At that time, there was also knowledgeable popular science!
【Don’t underestimate 0.1%! 】
[0.1% of Lu's shares are currently worth 3.5 billion! ]
[Qingshenguan can get a few hundred thousand dollars a year from the dividends of this 0.1% share! ]
【What's more, she originally had a 10% stake. 】
[Oh my god! This is quite a calculation... Our Qingshen is also worth hundreds of billions! ]
[Hiss... As expected of Mrs. Lu! ]
For the first time, the audience felt Qin Qingqing's wealth so intuitively, and the whole audience was shocked!
But only Qin Qingqing herself knew:
It is impossible to be rich.
She is just a minor supporting character who faces the crisis of being kicked out of the house.
Her current net worth is only the four hundred thousand in the system account; after struggling to make ends meet... she also has the nearly one million she earned from two attempts to fleece Lin An, and the two properties that old lady Lu gave her personally.
Qin Qingqing knew it very well.
All those things that she had managed to count might be taken back by Lu Liye after the "divorce", not to mention the shares that Lu Bai had allocated to her?
However, she is not interested in the Lu family's money!
All she has to do is complete the system's task and try her best to use the old method (the plan of mending the fold after the sheep have been lost) to save her eldest son!
then?
And then... try every possible means to go back to the plot of divorce with King Lu Yan, and then live a leisurely, happy and wonderful life alone?
Qin Qingqing has a rough plan for her future.
Can--
She doesn't know!
The gears of fate had been turning quietly since the first time she used the plan of mending the fold after the sheep were lost, completing the plot mission but ruining the real plot.
Everything is different from the original plot.
How could she possibly go back to the starting point of the story of "divorce from Lu Bai"?
divorce?
Divorce is impossible.
Lu Bai would never agree.
Besides...didn't he mention "divorce" once when Qin Qingqing mistakenly thought that she had left the house and fainted from hunger, but regretted it on the spot?
He won't let her go a second time.
Never.
Lu Bai had long given up the idea of divorce.
At this moment, I am contacting the secretary to handle the transfer of 0.1% of the shares.
He didn't even glance at Du Miaoyi...
Instead, he took Qin Qingqing into the hall.
Anyway——
By this time it was getting dark and the new product launch had ended.
Qin Qingqing and Lu Bai left.
Lu Liye, Qi Yanyan and others naturally followed.
Du Miaoyi, who had only had 0.1% of her shares taken away, was left helpless and furious. The wealthy ladies around her had sensed that something was wrong when Qin Qingqing and the others showed up, and they fled.
*
In the hall, whether they were businessmen and celebrities, wealthy ladies, or top media people, they all left in the same way.
First place——
The old lady was listening to the servant recounting the absurd things that happened in the garden.
Among all these absurd things, the most exciting one is her own "Du Miaoyi plotted against Qin Qingqing many times, and it was broadcast live to the public."
The old lady almost fainted!
Of course, I was angry with Du Miaoyi.
With a wave of her sleeves, she deducted another 1% of Du Miaoyi's shares and gave it to Qin Qingqing as compensation.
Qin Qingqing couldn't refuse.
I had no choice but to accept it...
The barrage is getting more and more loud!
【Oh my god! 】
[This time, our Qingshen has 11.1% of the shares; how many billion is it worth? ]
[Countless! Totally countless! ! ! ]
[Wakakakaka…]
[Rich woman! Please accept my greetings!!!]
Qin Qingqing was looking at the bullet screen and her eyelids twitched.
Then he glanced at Lu Bai with guilt...
"Or, you should just divorce me?"
Otherwise——
She was a "house-leaving reserve" and was mistaken for a "rich woman". She was really scared.
"What?"
Lu Bai’s eyes froze.
I thought I heard it wrong...
"No, nothing."
"You talk to grandma first... I'll go out for some fresh air?"
Qin Qingqing blinked innocently.
"Then do you want me to leave the wild and accompany you?"
Lu Bai slowed down his voice.
"Need not."
Qin Qingqing subconsciously refused.
As soon as I said this, I was stunned...
Oh my god!
How dare she?
How dare you be so decisive and reject King Lu Yan?
"I can do it alone."
She smiled sweetly.
However, Lu Bai sensed a familiar sense of distance and fear beneath her sweet smile.
His eyelashes trembled and he stopped resisting.
"Um."
*
Qin Qingqing left the hall alone.
There was nowhere else to go, so I just walked towards the small garden.
She walked very slowly.
It was to calm his fear about King Lu Yan, and also to secretly water down the length of the live broadcast.
After all, she had been live streaming with Lu Bai and his son for the entire day, but she still hadn't received a signal from the program crew that the live streaming was over.
really!
Working part-time...
Sigh softly.
But——
I accidentally heard rustling footsteps behind me.
"?"
She blinked blankly and looked back.
Nothing was found.
"Strange, is this an illusion?"
She scratched her head and continued walking forward.
And then I accidentally glanced at the bullet screen——
[Hashidou Sack! It seems that this is not an illusion! 】
[Come on, come on, there really is a dark shadow behind you! ]
[Huh?! It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly... where was it? ]
[Ten meters behind the left! Be careful, go to a crowded place quickly. ]
[This is Lu's house, there shouldn't be any danger, right? ]
[I don't know! But it's best to be vigilant! ]
Various bullet screens floated by.
Qin Qingqing was very obedient and changed her route halfway, trying to walk to a crowded place.
Can--
She didn't know whether the person behind her was too sensitive or her previous action had already alarmed him.
The figure behind him suddenly quickened his pace!
She then jogged along, took a shortcut and headed towards the hall.
However, at the end of the shortcut, there stood another shadow; when the shadow saw Qin Qingqing coming, it stood there without saying a word.
Qin Qingqing was alert at that time!
Is this person in the same group as the one chasing her?
At this time, she had already run to the small pond she passed by during the day; as long as she crossed the small pond, she could return to the hall.
But the shortcut was blocked, so she had to stop.
"Who are you?"
"Did you come all the way to see me?"
Qin tried to speak softly.
At the same time, the live broadcast bracelet on his wrist was revealed inconspicuously - the bracelet was emitting a soft light in the dark.
By this time, the new product launch conference has ended, and many people should know that she is now live streaming with the bracelet.
He knew that she was live streaming with the bracelet, but he still had bad intentions towards her; either his information was delayed or he was sick in the brain!
Qin Qingqing thought so.
Then she saw two people, one in front and one behind, whose faces could not be seen clearly, walking towards her without saying a word.
One of them even reached out and tried to push her into the small pond nearby.
“?!”
Qin Qingqing's eyelids twitched!
【？ ？ ？】
The barrage is full of question marks.
[Who are these two?! Don’t you know about live streaming? ]
[Oh my gosh! Murder?! It must be illegal!]
[Has anyone called the police? Call the police quickly!!!]
The bullet screen is messed up!
Qin Qingqing was startled at first, but then forced herself to calm down...
While quickly dodging backwards, she used the light from her bracelet to clearly see the face of the person who pushed her!
"Lin Yuhang?!"
She spoke unconsciously.
In a trance again——
Ah, he was actually late in getting the news and didn’t know about her “live broadcast”!
Or was it because she successfully transferred Lu Liye's hatred and his revenge to her?
She had no time to figure it out.
Lin Yuhang's face turned black and he attacked her again!
But Qin Qingqing took advantage of the situation and retracted his hand; at the same time, he went behind another person and did the same thing!
"Lin An."
By this time, she was able to speak without any surprises.
It seems that it is both.
Lin Yuhang and his mother not only received delayed news, but also had their hatred successfully transferred to them, which was then retaliated against her.
Qin Qingqing was not so scared anymore!
Isn't this exactly what she wants?
As long as she could avoid the revenge of the mother and son, she could send them to jail!
It's like... helping Lu escape from the wilderness completely, avoiding the "car accident paralysis" plot, and never having to worry about it again!
Her eyes suddenly lit up!
He hurriedly turned around and ran towards the hall.
Just run outside the hall!
Over there, servants were coming in and out, cleaning up the aftermath of the dinner...
However, the two who made a desperate attempt at the end had their identities exposed by Qin Qingqing, and they had already made up their minds to kill!
How could they let Qin Qingqing go?
They spent the first half of the day waiting for plan B to be successfully implemented, but it didn't happen.
Later that day, I learned that Lin An had lost his job in the building.
For no apparent reason, Du Miaoyi scolded him and drove him out of the Lu family's old house!
I have been hiding my anger for a long time!
They certainly didn't check their phones, didn't attend the banquet, and didn't even know about Qin Qingqing's live broadcast.
But so what?
Du Miaoyi wanted to drive them out of the old house.
Obviously plan B has also failed!
Because of Qin Qingqing, they completely lost Du Miaoyi, their last supporter; and because of Qin Qingqing, they lost their jobs/the "first-class scholarship".
I have long hated Qin Qingqing.
Now, after finally waiting for Qin Qingqing to be "left alone", of course I have to take revenge on her!
"We can't let her go!"
Lin Yuhang roared in a low voice and signaled Lin An to chase after him.
Can--
What are they thinking?
At Lu's house, revenge on Qin Qingqing?
Do you really think that finding a secluded place at night is enough?
Are they probably driven crazy?
Qin Qingqing saw the servant from a distance. At this time, he did not rush to run, but shouted loudly -
"Help!"
Just two simple words, but they definitely attracted the attention of that person!
At that moment, some servants noticed something was wrong and rushed over here; another servant hurriedly reported to the people in the hall.
【fortunately……】
Danmu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming to rescue him.
