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

The old man felt a tightness in his chest from being choked, and his tone softened instantly: "Wen Qi, I'm begging you, please delete what you said online. The Lu family's reputation... we really can't afford to lose face."

Wen Qi clicked her tongue: "The way you put it, it makes it sound like I, Wen Qi, am looking for trouble or deliberately picking a fight."

When your Lu family hired online trolls to smear me, why didn't you say anything then?

I helped the Lu family through the financial crisis, and your grandson turns around and teams up with his mistress to bite me. There's no such thing as a truly despicable thing to do.

She spoke without any politeness, every word piercing to the heart.

Old Master Lu was rendered speechless.

He knew in his heart that Wen Qi was telling the truth.

Now that public opinion is out of control and the Lu family has lost face, he is truly at a loss.

"Your Lu family is wicked and corrupt. You shouldn't be coming to me for this, but to your good children and grandchildren. You've messed with me, Wen Qi. You've kicked a hornet's nest. Good luck to you."

After Wen Qi finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the old man's response, decisively and cleanly.

Grandpa Lu held up his phone, his arm hanging limply at his side.

The words "Your Lu family members are wicked" kept echoing in his ears, and he felt dizzy.

He has lost all face in his life because of these unfilial descendants.

"Master!" The old butler quickly helped him up.

Old Master Lu, gripping the armrest of his chair, forced himself to stand up: "Prepare the car. We're heading back to the Lu family's main residence. I want to ask these wretches what they're up to!"

Wenjiaxueyuan.

Ever since Wen Changming went to see Wen Qi, Wen Wen has been restless, pacing back and forth in the living room.

She called all the media outlets she was working with, using threats and inducements to pressure them into blocking Wen Qi's account and removing all trending topics.

The other party's attitude was unusually firm, replying with only two words: "I won't delete it."

Wen Wen became furious and started cursing without any regard for her dignity.

This forced the other party to harden their stance completely, and they directly issued a harsh statement: "No matter how much money you offer, the trending topic will not be removed, and we can't touch Wen Qi's account. Don't waste your energy!"

After saying that, a cold, disconnected sound came from the phone.

Fang Xue slowly came downstairs, looking at her daughter's out-of-control state.

My heart sank; I knew I had completely messed things up.

She sighed, her usually meticulously groomed face now showing signs of anxiety and exhaustion, and she even seemed unsteady on her feet.

Wen Wen looked up at her, her eyes fierce.

Fang Xue said with a worried look, "I've been making phone calls all afternoon, but all those wealthy ladies I used to be on good terms with either couldn't get through or simply refused to see me."

Although Fang Xue has no official status, she has managed to squeeze into the circle of wealthy socialites over the years thanks to Wen Changming's power.

Normally, those ladies would flatter her and greet her with smiles.

Unexpectedly, when the Lu family ran into trouble, they all hid faster than rabbits and turned their backs faster than flipping through a book.

Wen Wen gripped her phone tightly: "Wen Qi, she must have the Gu family backing her up, otherwise the platform wouldn't dare protect her like this!"

"The Gu family and Wen Qi have never had any dealings before, who would have thought the platform would protect her so fiercely this time..." Fang Xue was also full of frustration, and couldn't help but curse those rich ladies: "A bunch of sycophants, they take our benefits all the time, but they're utterly useless when it matters!"

Wen Wen's eyes were red and swollen; she didn't even dare to open social media now.

If it weren't for Wen Qi's interference, she would have made a huge splash and stood by Lu Jisheng's side with fame and fortune.

They should be the golden couple that others envy.

It's all Wen Qi's fault that she ruined everything!

"Wenwen, don't worry, your dad won't abandon us. He'll definitely find a way to suppress the news and won't let you be insulted like that."

Fang Xue forced herself to remain calm and comforted her daughter.

But she also knew in her heart that Wen Changming cared most about the Wen family's reputation.

Given the magnitude of the conflict between Wen Wen and Lu Jisheng this time, Wen Changming may not be willing to fully support them.

Wen Wen raised her eyes, her gaze cold and deep as she looked at Fang Xue, and suddenly asked, "Mom, does Dad really hate Wen Qi? Does he really consider me his most beloved daughter?"

Fang Xue was taken aback, then quickly nodded: "Of course, you are your father's most beloved daughter. Wen Qi is an outsider in the Wen family. Your father only has you in his heart."

Wen Wen, however, did not believe it, her eyes growing even colder: "If I were truly his most beloved daughter, with the Wen family's strength and connections, plus the Lu family's relationship..."

It would be incredibly easy to spend money to remove trending topics and ban Wen Qi's account.

And now? The entire internet is flooded with news of my scandalous affair with Lu Jisheng. Aside from you and me desperately trying to salvage the situation, Dad and the Wen Group haven't done anything at all; he doesn't even consider me a threat.

Fang Xue was speechless and fell silent.

The roar of a car entering came from outside the door, the sound of tires screeching against the ground was particularly jarring.

The maid rushed in to report, "Madam, Miss, Chairman Wen is back!"

Fang Xue instantly regained her composure, forced a smile, and hurriedly ran towards the door.

Wen Wen stood motionless in the center of the hall, her eyes fixed on the doorway, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Changming, why are you back so late?" Fang Xue walked quickly to the car, looked at Wen Changming's car, and put on a gentle smile.

The car door opened, and Wen Changming was helped out of the car by the driver, his steps unsteady.

Fang Xue leaned closer and saw that Wen Changming had one finger sticking up at an extremely strange angle, which startled her.

"Changming, what happened to you? How did you get hurt?" Fang Xue reached out to help him in a panic, her face full of anxiety.

Wen Changming shoved Fang Xue away with tremendous force as she lunged at him.

Fang Xue was pushed so hard that she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He glanced at her coldly, his eyes icy and devoid of any of his usual warmth.

Fang Xue's heart skipped a beat. Having followed Wen Changming for so many years, she knew all too well what that look meant.

Wen Changming was truly enraged, and his anger was directed entirely at the mother and daughter.

Her face turned pale instantly, and she dared not say a word. She quickly jogged to catch up.

"I...I'll have someone fetch the family doctor right away!"

Wen Changming, supported by his driver, entered the lobby.

His gaze swept over Wen Wen, who was standing still, and his eyes were filled with a fury that seemed about to burst forth.

Wen Wen originally had a lot of complaints about Wen Changming, but when she saw his hand, she panicked.

He rushed forward: "Dad, what happened to your hand? What happened?"

Wen Changming's mind was filled with Wen Qi's voice and the humiliation of having his fingers broken.

At that moment, Wen Wen's anger surged to the top of her head.

As Wen Wen approached, he raised his uninjured hand and slapped her hard across the face without any mercy.

"Snapped!"

The crisp, loud slap was particularly jarring in the quiet hall, echoing endlessly.

Caught off guard, Wen Wen was knocked to the side by the blow.

Her cheeks instantly swelled up, and five clear finger marks appeared on her face.

Staggering to her feet, she covered her burning cheeks, staring at Wen Changming in disbelief, her voice choked with sobs: "Dad? Why did you hit me?"
