Chapter 150: The Qin Family
Qin Jiao Jiao's hand was cut, and she went to the hospital for treatment.
She called Li Zihang, but Li Zihang was on set and couldn't leave now.
He claims to be Qin Zi Mo's manager, but he is actually an Assistant and manager.
Now Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An are both hit hard, and Li Zihang also dares not be arrogant, only able to dutifully fulfill his duties and work properly.
Qin's father and mother rushed to the hospital.
Once there, Qin Jiao Jiao clutched Li Peilan and cried, "It's gone, everything's gone! That slut Song Huan Yan fired me and won't even cast me! My Star Dream is shattered… I have nothing left!"
Qin Jiao Jiao cried with a heart‑rending, death‑like anguish.
It's clear the blow she received is truly severe.
Li Peilan was shocked, "How… how could this happen? How can she break her word?"
After a round of shouting and lamenting, the family returned home with worried faces.
Li Peilan and Qin Jiao Jiao kept crying.
Li Peilan cried, "Damn it, who is it really! Thirty million, where can we find thirty million? They won't even let us be stars, it's like they're not letting us live!"
That afternoon both mother and daughter clutched their heads and sobbed, unable to bear such a blow.
Originally, they all expected to soar to success, but now… the son's Bieshu is gone, the savings are gone.
The daughter's Star Dream shattered, and she's being extorted for thirty million!
They had hoped to rely on Qiao An, but now Qiao An is also miserable!
She's shouldered hundreds of millions in debt, still waiting for this drama to wrap so she can take on commercial events, endorsements, and repay gradually.
Now she still lives in their house, eating them, using them!
Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An still talk about being stars, and they're accustomed to a pampered, decadent life.
Food, clothing, and drink can't be too poor; if they are, they'll just complain and lose their temper.
It forced Li Peilan and Qin Da Hai to pull out their coffin money, doing their best to provide food and drink for them.
Therefore they placed high hopes on Qin Jiao Jiao, hoping she'll quickly act, become famous, and earn money to help out.
But unexpectedly, Qin Jiao Jiao fared even worse.
She was photographed in Indecent Photos, with a demand for thirty million; even killing them isn't worth that price.
The whole family cried in utter disarray, waiting for Qin Zi Mo and the others to return.
In the afternoon, the three returned from work, and Li Peilan cried out, loudly recounting Qin Jiao Jiao's situation.
Qin Zi Mo, Qiao An, and Li Zihang were all shocked.
It's truly a roof leaking and being hit by night rain.
Qin Da Hai suggested calling the police.
Qin Zi Mo said, "Report what police? Do you think the police are idle and have endless forces? Qin Jiao Jiao can't debut, she's just an ordinary person; even if we report, there's no guarantee the culprit will be caught!"
Li Peilan said, "Then what do we do? Where does thirty million come from to give to others?"
Qiao An added, "Anyone capable of such deeds is a villain. Even if we report here and catch someone, they've probably already sold the photos or leaked them."
"Then what do we do, give me a solution!" Li Peilan leapt as if eight zhang tall, pointing at Qiao An's nose and scolding, "It's you, Sangmen Star! If you hadn't flirted with my son, my son would already be Song Family's dragon‑riding son‑in‑law! How did it become so miserable? It's all you, all your fault!"
Saying that, she stepped forward and struck Qiao An.
Qiao An didn't back down, fighting Li Peilan, saying, "How can you blame me? He himself stopped liking Song Huan Yan! Without me, he could never become a dragon‑riding son‑in‑law!"
Li Peilan cursed, "If you hadn't seduced him, how could my son not like Yan Yan? It's because you were so lecherous that my son's heart changed! You Sweeping Star, plague! Your family is bankrupt now, what value do you have? Get out! Get out of my house and stop harassing my son!"
"Mom!" Qin Zi Mo grabbed Li Peilan, "Stop hitting, Qiao An still has to act! Her face can't be injured!"
Qiao An seized the chance, slapping Li Peilan a few times and pulling her hair.
In pain, Li Peilan fell onto the ground, "Damn it! She even hit me!"
Qin Zi Mo, dizzy from the commotion, lost his temper and said, "Everyone stop arguing!"
Then looking at Qin Jiao Jiao, he said, "You bought a lot of luxury goods before, right? If you sell them all, it should be enough to repay."
Qin Jiao Jiao widened her eyes.
Luxury goods…
Before, Leng Jian Yue made her repay the money, so this wouldn't be Leng Jian Yue's doing, right?
But even if it was Leng Jian Yue who did it.
She still couldn't deal with Leng Jian Yue.
Qin Jiao Jiao said, "Luxury goods are valuable when bought, but second‑hand resale isn't worth much. Even if we sell everything, it's still short."
That's true.
These are all capitalist tricks; they're pricey when bought, but always depreciate when sold.
If one item loses a bit, another loses a bit, the gap only widens.
Qiao An said, "She's not a star! What's so special about Indecent Photos? Are a few indecent photos important or is the money more important?"
Qin Jiao Jiao, furious, said, "You weren't the one photographed, so you can stand there and speak without feeling any pain!"
After speaking, Qin Jiao Jiao glared angrily at Qiao An.
Qiao An, even now miserable, is still a minor star.
And she… has nothing left!
In a rage, Qin Jiao Jiao lunged forward and beat Qiao An, "My mother was right! It's you, Sangmen Star! Otherwise our family would have risen to glory! Song Huan Yan could have been so good to our family… It's your fault, all your fault!"
Qin Zi Mo could only step forward and pull Qin Jiao Jiao apart, "I told you not to hit her, she still has to act!"
Qin Jiao Jiao was tossed to sit on the ground; when she heard about acting, she cried like thunder, as if between life and death.
No one can know how painful it is for her Star Dream to be shattered!
It's simply… unbearable, a pain that makes one not want to live!
Every second, flesh and bone are in intense agony.
Originally, this family, just two months ago, were smugly scheming against Song Huan Yan.
How to drink her blood, eat her flesh, and make her obediently obey, follow every command, and if she resists, deal with her!
But now it has turned into this tragedy.
Upon hearing that Qin Jiao Jiao cannot become a star, Li Zihang is also deeply discouraged.
He still has to rely on Qin Jiao Jiao.
Now their several‑year‑old son Jianye ran out of the room, saw the family crying and shouting, and immediately burst into wailing.
As a result, no one tried to coax him; Li Peilan, still angry, slapped the little brat twice, scolding, "Cry, cry, cry, all you know is crying, you good‑for‑nothing!"
Jianye, after being hit, cried even harder.
Qin Jiao Jiao should have stepped forward to protect him, but now she can't; enraged and ashamed, she roared at Jianye, "It's all your fault, you bastard! If it weren't for you, my great future wouldn't have been ruined!"
She blamed the shattering of her Star Dream on Jianye.
Having already given birth is naturally a "sin."
Jianye was terrified into a stupor; Qin Jiao Jiao rushed up to beat him, even choking his neck, "Why don't you just die! You dog bastard! Why did I even give birth to you!"
Li Zihang could no longer stand it, stepped forward and pushed Qin Jiao Jiao away, "Enough!"
Little did he know Qin Jiao Jiao had already "gone mad," raised her hand and slapped him, "It's all your fault!"
After saying that, she plopped onto the floor, crying and laughing, "I'm a star, I want to be a star, I'm a big star!"
Qin Zi Mo felt like he was going to be knocked out by anger.
Qiao An said, "It's ridiculous that you, already married and with children, talk about wanting to be a star. Earlier, Song Huan Yan probably still had some feelings for your brother, so she was willing to spend money to promote you. Now she's been in a Marriage Alliance for a while and seems to have moved on emotionally. So not promoting you is perfectly normal; why are you collapsing?"
When Qin Jiao Jiao heard that, she stood up from the ground, rushed forward and choked Qiao An's neck, "You're full of shit! I'm the star! Who do you think you are!"
Qiao An was choked to the point of gasping.
Qin Zi Mo stepped forward, with all his might pulled Qin Jiao Jiao away, saying, "Are you insane? Do you want to kill someone?"
Qin Jiao Jiao, enraged and panicked, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Qin Da Hai sat on the sofa, sobbing loudly, "A perfectly good family, how did it end up like this?!"
The next day.
Li Peilan, early in the morning, dragged Qin Da Hai to the company.
At the company entrance they flailed and rolled, insisting on seeing Song Huan Yan.
Eventually Song Huan Yan had someone let the elderly couple inside.
The two entered the office.
Li Peilan, pulling Qin Da Hai, forced the two elders to step forward and kneel before Song Huan Yan.
Song Huan Yan's expression remained calm, showing no startled surprise.
Although they were elders and not young, kneeling before her seemed inappropriate.
But…
It doesn't matter.
Li Peilan is truly wicked!
She once, in the Bieshu, actively incited Qin Zi Mo, saying that as long as you placate her, after marriage, if she disobeys, you must deal with her properly!
Song Huan Yan said nothing.
Li Peilan wept and begged, "President Song, you must save Jiao Jiao. If you step in and buy that Scandal Material, Jiao Jiao can earn it back for you. Sign, sign a Ten-Year Contract, for free!"
Song Huan Yan replied coldly, "Even ten years free, she's not worth it."
The two elders mustered all their strength, kneeling and pleading for a full half hour.
Their heads were bruised, and they said all the flattering words.
Song Huan Yan merely watched them as if looking at ants, and lightly said, "No need to waste effort, go back."
Security dragged the two out.
After a moment, unexpectedly, Li Zihang came again.
He came straight to the point, "President Song, the woman Qin Zi Mo cheated with that I mentioned last time, I can tell you who she is and I can get evidence. In exchange, you… raise your noble hand and help Jiao Jiao!"
Song Huan Yan indifferently lowered her eyelids, "I'm not interested in knowing these. They have no value to me."
She finished, then lifted her gaze at him, "Qin Jiao Jiao has been dismissed; she's not my employee, and has no relation to me. Take your leave, I won't see you off."
Security stepped forward to seize them.
Li Zihang, flustered, said, "No. She is …"
Just as he was about to speak, Sang Wan slapped his face, "President Song already said she's not interested!"
Li Zihang, stunned by the slap, clenched his teeth, "Song Huan Yan, must you be so overbearing? Fine, I want nothing, I just want to tell you!"
Sang Wan, upon hearing, immediately slapped him again, stopping him from naming, saying, "Don't dirty President Song's ears! Pull him away quickly!"
Li Zihang ended up taking two pointless slaps; honestly, he didn't even know why.
He was then dragged away.
Sang Wan flicked his numb hand, "That was close. He almost said who it was!"
Song Huan Yan reached out to her, "Even if you said it, it doesn't matter. If I don't believe it, that's that."
She pulled Song Huan Yan's hand, "Did it hurt?"
Sang Wan said, "It's fine. That dog isn't any good, so a few more slaps are satisfying."
Song Huan Yan said, "It seems they've become a mess, tragedy upon tragedy."
Sang Wan was silent for a second, then suddenly said, "Then… does this count as Leng Jian Yue's merit?"
Song Huan Yan was at a loss for how to answer.
