Chapter 213 The Just Retribution
Somewhat surprisingly, no abnormalities were found in the following days.
However, Jiang Qin didn't dwell on whether she had overthought things.
More protection means greater safety, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Yesterday I received a message from the company that a new project had been introduced, and they were unusually asking all employees to have an in-person meeting.
Jiang Qin got up early to wash up, and Aunt Zhou had already prepared breakfast. After eating, Carlos had already driven the car into the yard.
Song Xinye was still worried, so he specially ordered two modified bulletproof vehicles to be brought over.
This was the car today. The chassis was a bit high, so Jiang Qin held onto the door frame to get in, and after she was seated and fastened her seatbelt, bodyguards got in the passenger seat and the last row. Before the people who got in later could fasten their seatbelts...
As soon as he heard the car door close, Carlos immediately drove off.
The bodyguards: "..."
Jiang Qin held the project materials she had printed out and taken notes on beforehand. It was a project in collaboration with a domestic company, which, coincidentally, was one she had previously worked with at Huo's.
The company of that wealthy Chairman Wang.
However, that experience hadn't happened when I was writing my resume, so I didn't include it.
Therefore, Jiang Qin was relatively relaxed at this moment.
It was still quite a distance from here to the company. Jiang Qin reviewed her materials, but unfortunately, she encountered a traffic jam. She decided to close her eyes and rest for a while, but suddenly, her phone vibrated and rang for the first time ever.
Since going abroad, Jiang Qin has rarely called anyone, and usually communicates with others through chat software.
Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised, but upon seeing the contact name, she answered the call quickly and with delight.
"Lele?" Jiang Qin's voice rose at the end.
During this time, Su Lejia was busy expanding her business and wanted to expand it overseas as soon as possible so that the two sisters could meet. Therefore, after confirming that she had arrived safely, they chatted a couple more times.
During this period, Su Lejia has been busy with work almost every day. In her own words, she is practically swimming in an ocean of work. Although she is so tired of working that she feels like throwing up, she is also excited about being able to get together with her friends more often in the future.
"It's me, honey! Do you know what news I just saw on my feed?!"
Su Lejia's voice was very excited.
Jiang Qin reflexively calculated the time difference; it was 9 a.m. here, which was 8 p.m. in China.
Based on this point and her best friend's news preferences, Jiang Qin made a wild guess as to which celebrity had broken some shocking news.
"What is it?" Having not chatted with her best friend for a long time, Jiang Qin spoke to Su Lejia with exceptional gentleness.
On the other end of the phone, Su Lejia, who had just finished showering and was leaning back on the sofa scrolling through social media, sounded so happy and carefree that she was practically bursting with joy.
"Li! Xue! Qian! She has been banned from the entire internet!!!"
I haven't heard this name in so long.
Inside the car, Jiang Qin paused for a moment, then seemed to recall this person from a memory box.
But even though I found it, I didn't feel anything for the name anymore.
"Oh," Jiang Qin replied.
This reaction...
Su Lejia was a little unsure what to say, "...Um, Qinqin, aren't you going to ask her what she did?"
Jiang Qin blinked, sat up straighter, and smiled. "Then... what did she do?"
Regardless of whether her sisters were genuinely interested in gossip, Su Lejia perked up immediately when asked this question.
She recounted everything she had just learned to Jiang Qin in a clear, logical, and well-organized manner.
Jiang Qin, who was initially indifferent, frowned deeply after hearing this.
So that's how it is.
On the other end of the phone, Su Lejia couldn't help but exclaim, "Baby, isn't this absolutely amazing? This is truly incredible and eye-opening! I mean, although that scumbag is a real scumbag, Li Xueqian is absolutely shameless."
"Oh wait, this company's packaging is really impressive. This person who became a mistress to a married man abroad, took the benefits, and ran away, can actually debut as a pure and sweet young actress after returning to China!"
"Oh no, I think the one after that is the most explosive—"
"Later, while she was recuperating in the hospital, she actually managed to hook up with that foreign man behind his back and even got pregnant. That's the most shocking part! That was a hospital ward, and she managed to get pregnant while recuperating!"
"Tsk, this industry is really messy, and they play these games so wildly. Is this something a normal person would do?"
"And after she found out she was pregnant, instead of just trying to get rid of the baby, she actually wanted to find a bastard to be the father of her unborn child. Oh, sorry, baby, that scumbag is that bastard."
At this point, Su Lejia paused to catch her breath and took a couple of sips of water.
Jiang Qin remained silent; the amount of information was overwhelming, and she was still processing it.
Su Lejia's voice rang out again: "And I also heard that she was warned by the person in charge of Huo's entertainment division at the beginning. It seems that they told her that Huo's would no longer cooperate with her."
"As a result, I really don't know what this person was thinking. She actually ignored the words of the person in charge of a large group's project division, thinking that he was just joking with her. She thought she was a princess just because her fans said she was like one.
"I'm laughing so hard I'm going to get rich! How can she be so shameless? After so much has happened, including being exposed as a mistress by that foreign rich kid's wife, she still dares to go to the Huo family to ask for resources!"
"My God, she's so shameless! And when she couldn't get what she wanted, she resorted to moral blackmail! Well, look what happened. The Huo family didn't let her get away with it. They issued a statement listing all the things that scumbag had done to give her acting opportunities."
"There's also an actress who filmed an advertisement, lost money, and terminated the contract. Her fans were also ridiculed—she's a popular young actress, yet her male fans have absolutely no spending power! They might admire her face and figure, but when it comes to supporting their idol, they absolutely won't!"
"My goodness, I'm laughing so hard my face hurts."
Su Lejia spoke one sentence after another, her sense of satisfaction at having avenged her was palpable.
Jiang Qin was still processing what was happening when she was suddenly asked, "Baby, are you listening? How are you feeling?"
Jiang Qin felt it over, and to be honest, apart from surprise, she didn't actually feel any pleasure.
It's still Li Xueqian or Huo Sili, or between the two of them.
From the moment she faked her death, she truly didn't care anymore.
Jiang Qin raised her hand and touched her abdomen; the four-month-old fetus was already showing.
"Yes, that's right. She got what she deserved."
Previously at Huo's headquarters, Li Xueqian had tried to scald her with boiling water to injure and disfigure her. Although she managed to stop her in time, Jiang Qin hadn't forgotten that glass shards had cut her leg and caused her to bleed.
In addition, she hadn't forgotten all the things that Li Xueqian had deliberately tripped her, almost causing her to fall and miscarry, and the things that Yuan Yue had given her that gift that might be poisonous.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Faced with Li Xueqian's current situation, Jiang Qin can only say...
She deserves it.
Similarly, if she easily gives up herself for love, then everything she has now is not what she deserves.
The car arrived at the company, and Jiang Qin took the documents and went upstairs.
Despite being pregnant, during the three months she was abroad, Aunt Zhou took great care of her every day. Except for a few days when she had nightmares and was not in good condition, Jiang Qin was in good physical and mental health the rest of the time.
At this moment, the woman's silhouette and aura were no different from those of Secretary Jiang, who was once decisive and efficient in the workplace.
This scene was captured by the people sent by Huo Sili to follow Jiang Qin under the guise of protection.
A few seconds later, Huo Sili, who was in the branch office president's office, received the photo.
After a long silence, his eyes suddenly reddened again.
He Xu knocked on the door and entered the room. "President Huo, the projects here are all completed. Butler Zhou just called to ask when you will return to Beijing. The old lady is urging you to come back."
Huo Sili looked away from his phone screen and turned it off.
Without looking up, he said, "Later."
He Xu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How about next Wednesday? The weather will be bad any later. I checked the weather forecast, and it says that there will be blizzards here for several days after Wednesday, which will be very dangerous to set off."
Horst looked rather tense.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, He Xu's forehead twitched, as if he had guessed what Huo Sili wanted to say.
Mustering his courage, he quickly spoke first: "President Huo, it won't do if we're any later. You still need to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
He Xu's voice trailed off as he reminded them, "Both of you are over seventy years old. Your father... can't come home for the New Year; he has to train his soldiers as usual. He's busy. As for the young master..."
Huo Chishen, the eldest son of the Huo family, had little power after Huo Sili, the legitimate young master, was found. He was only able to manage some of the Yuan family's companies thanks to Yuan Lianqing's favor and the fact that the Yuan family had few descendants.
But after Jiang Qin's incident, it's unclear what Yuan Lianqing was thinking. In any case...
She withdrew all the companies that she had previously entrusted to her beloved son and took them over herself.
It is said that when he was in charge of the management, he discovered problems with the accounts and found that Huo Chishen was abusing his power for personal gain. Huo Chishen became even more unpopular. Now he has not only lost his power, but his wealth is also only going out and not coming in.
Horst remained silent.
"Don't you want your wife to reconcile with you soon?" Suddenly, He Xu said this.
Huo Sili's eyes darkened, and he glanced over in a flash.
He Xu thought to himself that he had become bolder and bolder lately, but he was also really worried sick about his master and his wife.
He Xu touched his forehead, which was not actually cold sweat, and said seriously, "Mr. Huo, the position of the head of the Huo family has not been truly decided yet. If you want a wife, you have to hold on to some power carefully."
He Xu didn't need to say anything more; Huo Sili naturally understood.
Power and pretension. Pretension is something you can only display after you've gained power. Before you have it, you should act like a subservient grandson.
