CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 256: THE MIGHTY BOOTLICKER IS WITNESSED BY ALL

The scathing online criticism slamming Si Yuhuan as shameless, a scumbag, and someone who toyed with women’s emotions suddenly took a turn.

Some netizens cited evidence of Jiang Qimeng interfering in Si Yuhuan’s marriage.

This sparked outrage among countless righteous netizens.

"This woman is shameless! Even when Si Yuhuan was the wealthiest man, she was willing to be a clingy mistress. Now that Si Yuhuan isn’t the wealthiest anymore, she took two billion from him. Doesn’t she feel guilty? Give back the money!"

"Does anyone still remember when she stole Jian Xi’s song lyrics and claimed them as her own painstaking work? Which of this liar’s words are true? She probably leaked Si Yuhuan’s front-page news herself, just to use us as pawns! Don’t be deceived, everyone!"

"My cousin works at Haohan Group and heard she’s now entangled with Si Yuhuan’s cousin, Si Junyan. Is this woman just a gold digger?"

Jiang Qimeng nearly vomited blood when she saw these online comments.

She frantically smashed everything to bits and, in a fit of rage, roared, "Who is doing this behind my back?"

The internet trolls wouldn’t just disappear without a reason; such overwhelming and decisive tactics must be manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

Clenching her chest in fury, Jiang Qimeng seethed, "They’re all useless! Can’t even handle this simple task! They took my millions—they should just go die!"

"It must be Jian Xi! No one besides her, getting help from Jian Chuxin, could manipulate the headlines so easily!"

BANG!

The window outside was suddenly smashed by something, glass scattering everywhere.

Jiang Qimeng jumped in shock, nearly leaping off the floor.

"What’s going on?"

Her assistant rushed in. "This is bad, Miss Jiang! Netizens have doxxed our location! You need to move immediately, or it could be dangerous."

Her assistant tried to support her but was shoved away harshly by Jiang Qimeng. "Are you gloating? Go get PR to clear my name!"

Scared out of her wits, the assistant almost knelt. "Miss Jiang, things have gone too far. No amount of PR will help now. If you want a satisfying clapback, you have to return the entire two billion. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

How could I possibly handle PR now! People had already doxxed her location.

Jiang Qimeng cursed, "Bullshit! Just give it back like that? That’s two billion!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All the windows outside were being smashed!

Some, with better aim, threw rotten eggs straight through the broken windows, and the room immediately filled with a stench.

Shouts came from outside, "Shameless mistress, get out here! Jiang Qimeng, you’re so good at swindling money—are you desperate from poverty?"

Terrified, Jiang Qimeng covered her ears, not daring to make a sound.

"Vain and despicable creature, get out here!"

Grasping her assistant’s hand tightly, Jiang Qimeng urged, "Go, go, go! Let’s get out of here fast!"

She fled out the back door, jumped into a car, and kept looking back at the furious netizens outside, frantically dialing a number.

"Please, help me! I can’t even go home now."

Never expecting such repercussions, Jiang Qimeng was overwhelmed with regret.

The reply was icy, "You brought this on yourself. Who else can you blame?"

"Hey! When we agreed to cooperate, you didn’t treat me like this!"

"That was then, this is now. I told you not to touch Jian Xi!"

Jiang Qimeng clenched her teeth in fury. "If I don’t go after her, she’ll be the end of me! If you don’t help, we’ll go down together!"

The person on the other end didn’t take her seriously at all. "You can try!"

Looking at the disconnected call, Jiang Qimeng screamed in frustration, and her phone shattered into pieces.

"Drive! Go to Si Junyan’s villa," she instructed the driver.

Only his place is safe now.

Meanwhile, Si Junyan couldn’t get through to Jiang Qimeng’s phone no matter how hard he tried, so he had to call her assistant’s phone.

"BOO HOO HOO!" As soon as Jiang Qimeng took the call, she cried hoarsely, "Junyan, Jian Xi is too vicious! She actually used netizens to retaliate against me. My house was doxxed and trashed. I have nowhere to go."

"Qimeng, come to my place. I’ll protect you," Si Junyan quickly offered, his voice full of concern.

Falling right into her trap, Jiang Qimeng feigned hesitation. "Wouldn’t that cause trouble for you? Netizens are saying I’m stringing both of you brothers along, calling me a fickle woman!"

"Don’t listen to their nonsense! What do they know? Qimeng, you’re the best woman in the world! Even now, you’re worried about troubling me. You’re treating me like a stranger! Where are you? I’ll come get you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qimeng immediately ordered her driver to drop her off at the nearest main street.

Si Junyan hadn’t even finished his meeting; he hurriedly left a room full of executives to pick up Jiang Qimeng.

Many shook their heads. "This is so improper. Losing all decorum over a woman. He doesn’t compare to Director Si at all."

"What’s the use of saying that? We’re not on the board of directors; we can’t do a damn thing unless we all go on strike!"

Go on strike? Everyone exchanged glances, schemes brewing in their eyes.

Si Junyan, completely oblivious to the looming danger, rushed to the main street of the shopping district. Seeing Jiang Qimeng standing alone and pitiful by the roadside, he strode over, embraced her, and comforted her, "I’m here for you; don’t be afraid."

At that moment, he completely disregarded the warnings from his project collaborators. "It’s only two billion. I’ll get it for you!"

"But where would you get that much money..."

"Qimeng, I have my ways," Si Junyan said, putting on a brave front to impress the woman he loved. "Who at Haohan Group dares to disobey me now? It’s only two billion. That’s nothing!"

"Junyan, you’re amazing!" Jiang Qimeng threw herself into his arms.

What a spineless fool—finally, he’s of some use!

"When I return the money to him, I want to hold a press conference. I’ll let everyone see just how heartless and cold Yuhan has been to me."

Flattered by the praise, Si Junyan was ecstatic. "Sure, we’ll do it your way."

After returning, Si Junyan immediately ordered the finance department to transfer the money to Jiang Qimeng’s account.

Seeing the two billion in her account, Jiang Qimeng felt significantly more at ease.

A vengeful glint flashed across her eyes. Jian Xi, Si Yuhuan, just you wait. If you want me to spit out this money, you’d better be alive to receive it.

Jian Xi received word almost immediately.

Jian Chuxin called her.

"You don’t need to file that lawsuit for Si Yuhuan anymore. Jiang Qimeng has secured two billion."

Jian Xi was slightly surprised. "She’s planning to pay back the money?"

For a woman so avaricious, the thought of her willingly disgorging money she’d already pocketed was truly incredible.

"Si Junyan gave it to her!"

This wasn’t much of a secret; he could find out with a little digging.

"I see!" That explained everything.

With such a sucker footing the bill, Jiang Qimeng indeed wouldn’t have to do a thing herself.
