Chapter 251 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (39)
Xu Xi is embroiled in scandals in the entertainment industry, and the Meng family, whom she relied on for support, is now in dire straits and struggling to protect themselves.
After becoming suspicious, Meng's father sent Meng Heng to the Meng family, but fortunately, he was self-aware enough to know that Meng Heng had no real skills.
He even specially called Qin Nuan to the hospital for this purpose, putting on a show of feigned concern, and finally said what he considered to be reassuring words:
“Our Meng family only has one daughter-in-law, and only the child you give birth to can inherit the Meng family name.”
The implication is that she shouldn't be afraid of doing something for someone else, and it also means that she should continue to be devoted to the Meng family, since she is working hard for her future children.
Qin Nuan seemed moved, her eyes red as she made a promise to Meng's father:
"Dad, don't worry, the Meng family will definitely not fall into my hands."
Meng Heng's sudden arrival caused many people to secretly laugh at Qin Nuan, but many others also stood up for her.
Qin Nuan disregarded the opinions of others, and when Meng Heng suppressed her, she was like a cat without claws, not fighting back at all.
In Meng Heng's eyes, this action was Qin Nuan giving in, and he was extremely pleased with himself. However, when he thought about how everyone in the company followed Qin Nuan's lead, he also felt an intense hatred for her.
A woman like her, always out in public, working with a group of men, she doesn't act like a woman at all.
Meng Heng was aware of some of the promises Meng's father made to Qin Nuan. He and Qiu Yu had lost their child, and Qiu Yu was in poor health; the doctor said she might have difficulty conceiving in the future.
Meng Heng thought that if Qin Nuan continued to be so obedient, he wouldn't mind giving her a child. As long as the child was born and given to Qiu Yu to raise, the Meng family would naturally belong to this child in the future.
Because of Qin Nuan's repeated concessions, Meng Heng was able to suppress her more easily. In one project, he found a fault in Qin Nuan, flew into a rage, and then kicked her out of the Meng family.
As soon as Qin Nuan left, Meng's family and her friends all spoke up for her, and Meng Heng kicked the protesters out of Meng's family.
What a joke! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but can't he find two-legged people? Daring to challenge him, this is what happens.
Meng Heng intended to make an example of someone, so many people were fired, including many long-time employees who had worked at Meng's company for many years.
The others felt disheartened. Some of the more arrogant ones, seeing their long-time partners being fired, immediately quit as well, and Meng Heng did not try to stop them.
He thought that the departure of these people would have no impact on the Meng family, and that driving Qin Nuan's people out of the Meng family would make it easier for him to make his own moves.
What he didn't know was that these people were indeed Qin Nuan's people, trained by her. They might not seem very prominent in the company, but each of them occupied an indispensable position.
Qin Nuan certainly wasn't doing this out of kindness by cultivating talent for the Meng family. Spending the Meng family's money to nurture promising young talents for herself was simply too good to be true.
As soon as everyone left the Meng family, Qin Nuan pulled them into her own company.
They all resigned out of resentment, but they were also somewhat lost after leaving Meng's. Now, they are happy to be working with the same boss again, without having to put up with Meng's temper.
Many people knew that Qin Nuan had been kicked out of the Meng family by Meng Heng. Meng's father also knew what his son had done. In a fit of anger, he fainted again and could no longer speak when he woke up.
Meng Heng's brain is strangely structured; he always has a mysterious self-confidence, feeling that he has absolute say in everything, disregarding the wishes of others, and doing things his own way.
As Qin Nuan had predicted, the trap she had meticulously crafted for Meng Heng was one that he fell into without a second thought. He even secretly embezzled company funds without the shareholders' knowledge, which surprised Qin Nuan.
Having a pig-like opponent allowed me to enjoy the feeling of winning without lifting a finger.
Having experienced something similar to the Sun family, when the Meng family fell from power, no one had any intention of helping them. Instead, they circled around their prey like hungry wolves, waiting to devour them.
The Meng family has fallen completely. Meng Heng may face imprisonment for embezzling public funds. Qin Nuan had already obtained her divorce certificate before this, and she ignored all the entanglements between Meng's mother and Bai Qiuyu.
Having finally gotten rid of this mess, she had no time to deal with these people anymore. She could finally live openly with her grandmother and sister.
The news that the Qin family was going to hold a banquet quickly sparked discussion among people in the industry.
Qin Nuan's name has been well-known for the past six months. After being expelled from the Meng family by Meng Heng, she became the subject of much ridicule.
Who would have thought that she would turn around and become a rising star? Those rich ladies could no longer smile. Qin Nuan was not on the same level as them at all. She was someone their husbands/fathers had to curry favor with.
Qin Nuan bought the Qin family's house back. The entire villa was brightly lit, and every corner was exquisitely decorated.
In a bedroom on the second floor, there was a large full-length mirror in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, reflecting Jiang Rou's light pink strapless fishtail dress.
Her long hair was styled in a bun, revealing her round and full forehead. Her face was made up, making her features appear even more delicate and gentle.
Her exposed skin glowed with a soft white light, her figure was curvaceous, and she exuded a noble and elegant aura.
Qin Nuan appeared behind Jiang Rou, looking at her reflection in the mirror with pride, showering her with praise:
"My Rou Rou is definitely the center of attention today. I wonder how envious people will be of me when they see her."
Jiang Rou was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and her face flushed pink. Jiang Rou, who was already stunningly beautiful, became even more charming with this blush, making her even more captivating.
Qin Nuan took out a black velvet box from behind her. When she opened it, a pink diamond necklace that shone brightly was revealed.
Those inside the room held their breath upon seeing this treasure; the light emanating from the necklace seemed to illuminate the entire room.
Qin Nuan casually took it out and put it around Jiang Rou's neck. The necklace clung to her snow-white skin, like a plum blossom blooming in the snow, a breathtaking sight.
"It's beautiful, do you like it?"
Jiang Rou couldn't help but reach out and touch the necklace around her neck, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qin Nuan, snuggling closer to her.
"Thank you, sister, I love it so much."
Seeing her smile, Qin Nuan felt that all the hard work was worth it. The others were a little envious of the sisterly affection, and they also wanted to give their sister a necklace with a small goal.
Qin Nuan sent out many invitations, and almost everyone who received them came. At this time, almost all the prominent families in Kyoto were here.
Many people moved around the banquet hall; such banquets are a great opportunity to network and should not be missed.
The banquet soon officially began, and Qin Nuan, the hostess, made her appearance.
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw two people, one in black and one in pink, walk out.
