DTBS - Chapter 132
Chapter 132: Final Warning
"Qingshang, time to get up." Tao Qiuyun buttoned up her light blue shirt, leaned down, and gently shook the woman who was sleeping soundly, wrapped in the covers.
"Wuwu~ No!" Cat grumbled, rolled over, pulled the blanket over her head, and mumbled, "I'm so sleepy, don't bother me."
"Qingshang, didn't you say you have a scene to shoot today? If you don't get up and get ready soon, you'll be late." Tao Qiuyun pressed down on her shoulder and shook her hard again.
"Shoot what... shoot a scene!"
Qin Qingshang instantly perked up. She pulled down the blanket, struggled painfully to sit up, patted the blanket, and said angrily, "Ah, I completely forgot! You're so annoying, it's all your fault for keeping me up so late yesterday!"
Cat complained, "I told you to go to bed early! But you just had to keep going! Had to keep going!"
Haven't you had sex in centuries? You just had to press me down on that quicksand glass, and even make me compete with the quicksand to see who could sink faster...
Can water and sand even be compared? Bastard!
"Then I'll try to be earlier tonight?" Tao Qiuyun reflected.
"Who, who would sleep with you tonight! I'm leaving!" Cat said she was leaving, but her body honestly flopped back down. She reached out to Tao Qiuyun for a hug, "Qiuqiu, carry me up, I have no energy, don't want to move."
The woman obediently reached out and hugged her, tilting her head to gently kiss her neck, "Qingshang, how about I visit the set today? That way the crew can rest."
"Don't you have some conference to attend?" Cat asked, confused.
"I can have Secretary Zheng attend for me," Tao Qiuyun seriously considered the possibility. "She went ahead to handle things anyway, it works out perfectly."
"No way!" Cat shook her head. "That would be very irresponsible towards Secretary Zheng. You can't just abandon your career for personal matters. Go to work!"
Tao Qiuyun smiled and finally nodded in agreement.
My wife is truly too dedicated! Too cute!
She couldn't help but press Cat back onto the bed and kiss her for a while longer.
Tao Qiuyun's driving skills were also not to be underestimated; she drove Cat to the set on time before turning to attend the conference.
"CEO Tao," Jiang Lihe quickly walked up as Tao Qiuyun got out of the car. The man's dressing style was different from his usual suit and tie, leaning more towards casual wear. "I heard you were coming to this conference. I hope CEO Tao can spare me some time, I'd like to talk to you."
As he spoke, he eyed the grey Continental GT beside Tao Qiuyun, feeling a bit dissatisfied.
The previous grey car was an affordable Volkswagen, and now the grey car is a top-tier Bentley?
Exactly! Tao Qiuyun, she's the CEO of Chunjin Group, the future heir of the Tao family. A car like a Bentley should be her usual ride. And this one is even a custom Mulliner edition. Driving a car like this, she would never be looked down upon!
If she had appeared in his sight driving this Bentley back then, picking up Qin Qingshang at the set, he wouldn't have been so blind as to not recognize the caliber of the car, and he certainly wouldn't have mistaken her for some insignificant kept man.
Then none of the subsequent events would have happened. Sufeng Entertainment and the Jiang family might still be doing well...
And he wouldn't have fallen to such a state!
Those who used to fawn over him were now kicking him while he was down. The Jiang family's partners, those he called uncles, were all eager to swallow up the Jiang family!
However, despite his inner dissatisfaction with Tao Qiuyun, Jiang Lihe, who had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time, naturally wouldn't miss this hard-won opportunity. He could only brace himself and step forward, speaking again, "CEO Tao, can I take up a little of your time? Just for a chat."
"Mr. Jiang, there's nothing for us to talk about." Tao Qiuyun glanced at her watch. Her deep blue suit jacket was neat and tidy. Standing next to the casually dressed Jiang Lihe, she looked like a metropolitan elite whose time was measured in seconds. There seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them.
The woman stepped past him, her voice clear and crisp, polite but not overly so, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
"Tao Qiuyun!" Jiang Lihe suddenly shouted her name. Seeing the woman not even turn her head, the suppressed frustration in his heart exploded. He completely forgot his original purpose was to beg Tao Qiuyun to stop. He roared, "What is your relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao!"
He had been begging people lately, and those guys were even mocking him about Bai Xiaoxiao! Truly a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs!
"Mr. Jiang," Tao Qiuyun took a step back, meeting his gaze, and said indifferently, "What my relationship with Miss Bai is, does it concern you?"
"Are you perhaps desperately wanting Xiaoxiao, so you found Qin Qingshang to be her stand-in!" Jiang Lihe's eyes were red, clearly enraged to the extreme.
When he suddenly learned last night that Bai Xiaoxiao had a connection with Tao Qiuyun, the first thing he thought of was that Tao Qiuyun sought out Qin Qingshang to marry because she couldn't have Bai Xiaoxiao!
After all, Xiaoxiao is so wonderful, how could anyone not like her?
But he didn't expect that someone of Tao Qiuyun's status would actually be reluctant to force Xiaoxiao, and instead just quietly chose Qin Qingshang, this stand-in, as a substitute.
So the reason Qin Qingshang could latch onto Tao Qiuyun was already clear. It wasn't at all what the internet said about them meeting in a bar and having a child after a one-night stand. The only way she could climb onto the Tao family's big tree must be because of her face, which resembles Xiaoxiao's!
"Mr. Jiang is truly impressive," Tao Qiuyun sneered. "In one sentence, you've offended three women."
"Did you end up forcing Xiaoxiao?" Jiang Lihe glared at her. "Since you've already chosen to marry Qin Qingshang, that stand-in, why did you still bring Xiaoxiao to the banquet? What are you planning? Are you thinking of a threesome?! Did you or did you not lay a hand on Xiaoxiao?!"
At that Weixiu banquet, both Bai Xiaoxiao and Qin Qingshang were there. This human-faced beast of a bad woman, Tao Qiuyun, wouldn't see that the two look alike and then play some blindfolded threesome game, would she?
After all, the richer they are, the more twisted their private games!
The original and the stand-in can never be compared in the end. He refused to believe that with Bai Xiaoxiao right there, Tao Qiuyun would still fancy Qin Qingshang, this stand-in.
"Given Mr. Jiang's intelligence, Sufeng Entertainment going bankrupt was only a matter of time," Tao Qiuyun retorted sharply.
The woman's brows furrowed, seemingly suppressing anger. She continued in a cold voice, "Also, you said my wife is a stand-in. I dislike that very much. And for the bad things you did to my wife in the past, I hope you can apologize to her."
"You goddamn bastard!"
Seeing her always so serious yet casually dismissing him, Jiang Lihe's anger flared even more. Tao Qiuyun's delay in responding about her relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao made his emotions churn. After his rationality completely exploded, he stopped pretending and raised a fist, hitting the woman in front of him in the face.
Calm and detached, not putting me in your eyes, huh? Let's see if you can still maintain your composure now!
He couldn't stand Tao Qiuyun's serene demeanor. He wanted even more to pull the woman down from her pedestal, trample her underfoot! Trample her into the mud!
In terms of family background and ability, he couldn't compare to Tao Qiuyun, but he was a man! Surely he could beat her, a woman, in physical strength and with his fists?
"It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how would I have become like this! Qin Qingshang didn't dare to resist me, she couldn't escape me at all! Xiaoxiao wouldn't be with you either, and she wouldn't have even hidden her return from me! It must be you, this vicious woman, manipulating things behind the scenes! Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?! You and Qin Qingshang are just a pair of cheap..."
Jiang Lihe was close to her. He suddenly attacked with red eyes. Even though Tao Qiuyun took a step back, she couldn't avoid taking a solid punch to the face, which left a red mark.
But as Jiang Lihe lost control and cursed, Tao Qiuyun was so angry she laughed. She raised her hand to block the man's second punch, then heavily returned a punch to his face...
"Bang—"
Taking a sudden punch to the eye socket, Jiang Lihe immediately felt dizzy and unstable, directly hitting a Maserati behind him with a dull thud.
The alarm system of the victim car was clearly quite advanced, instantly blaring to inform its owner of the situation.
Tao Qiuyun paid no attention to the car "reporting" the incident. She stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Lihe's collar, her expression cold and stern, and swung her fist, smashing it into his face several times...
The man's cheeks and the corners of his mouth were instantly bloody and bruised.
"Do you know how to hit someone?" Tao Qiuyun grabbed his collar, a smile on her lips, her eyes rarely showing a hint of ruthlessness. "Let me tell you, simply hitting someone with a flat fist doesn't hurt at all. People's bones are very hard. You have to hit like this!"
As the woman spoke, she smashed her incredibly sharp fists into Jiang Lihe's face, like a merciless punching machine, hitting flesh with every blow, pounding on the man's cheekbones. Some blood splattered, staining her deep blue jacket.
At first, Jiang Lihe could still open his mouth, but as Tao Qiuyun hit harder and harder, besides being able to gasp for air, Jiang Lihe could only tilt his head back and forth with the rhythm of her punches. He was powerless to fight back, and even the words he wanted to beg for mercy were beaten back down his throat.
He was certain in his heart that if Tao Qiuyun weren't holding his collar, he would probably have collapsed on the spot.
It seems the fight between Tao Qiuyun and that drug addict before wasn't as easy as bystanders saw. Only after experiencing it firsthand did he realize that Tao Qiuyun... she's truly fierce!
"CEO Tao! CEO Tao!" Secretary Zheng had just arrived at the parking lot to look for her boss and happened to see this scene. She hurried forward, reaching out to stop Tao Qiuyun.
She looked at Jiang Lihe, held by the woman and slowly gasping for breath, feeling both shocked and scared. She quickly grabbed the woman's arm, "CEO Tao, if there's anything, let's talk it out properly. Please stop hitting him!"
CEO Tao, you were just sued by Miss Qin for "bigamy". If you get sued for "assault" again and go to the police station one more time, that would be hard to handle!
Not to mention this is Mingyang, the city with the strictest law enforcement, and there's even the Special Bureau!
Secretary Zheng had originally arrived early to handle the conference affairs. After receiving Tao Qiuyun's message, she was waiting for her at the elevator entrance, but she didn't show up for a long time. Thinking of Tao Qiuyun's always punctual nature, she figured something might have happened. As CEO Tao's confidante, she had to be on the front lines, so she went to the parking lot to look. Unexpectedly, following the car's alarm sound, she happened to witness such an explosive scene of CEO Tao beating someone...
She stared at Tao Qiuyun's bloody fist, suppressing her surprised gasp.
The neat suit became askew with the previous punching movements, completely highlighting the gentle-looking woman as a cold-faced violent maniac wearing the veneer of a metropolitan elite.
But... why did she feel that CEO Tao was even more charming like this? Did she perhaps like seeing the flower on a high mountain go crazy?
Damn! My fetish is weird!
"Secretary Zheng, help me contact the staff here at the venue," Tao Qiuyun said, unbuttoning her suit jacket. As she stretched, she took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from the back of her hand, walking towards Jiang Lihe who was lying on the ground. "I need to see the surveillance footage."
"Heh, heh—" The man made an unintelligible sound from his throat.
"Mr. Jiang," Tao Qiuyun squatted down, placed the bloody handkerchief over his face, then spread her fingers and pressed down on his head, saying in a deep voice, "Anger is incompetence; it only affects our judgment. I was incompetent just now too. Actually, we both know that hitting you won't make you repent, right?"
Cat had complained to her last night, saying Jiang Lihe had gone to see her.
The woman's expression was cold, her voice sharp and stern, "Do not harass Qingshang. This is the first and last time. I, as Tao Qiuyun, Qin Qingshang's wife, am warning you."
His injured cheek was pressed and rubbed against the rough ground. The tiny pebbles felt like they wanted to burrow into his flesh. Jiang Lihe's eyes were red. Although he couldn't see the person in front of him, his expression was venomous...
Tao Qiuyun!
A woman like you, if you weren't in the Tao family, how could you have what you have today! You're just someone who relies on your family. Without the Tao family, without Chunjin, you're nothing! It's the same for Qin Qingshang. Without you, she's nothing!
Tao Qiuyun stood up and walked away, no longer sparing a glance for the motionless Jiang Lihe on the ground. She took off her suit jacket, which had blood spatters on it, and slowly wiped the blood from her hands again.
Secretary Zheng looked at the man lying on the ground. After confirming that his chest was rising and falling, she pursed her lips and followed the woman's steps.
Thankfully he was alive. She was particularly afraid that Tao Qiuyun had beaten him to death...
After all, the way she covered the man's face with a handkerchief just now really had the air of covering a corpse with a white cloth.
If CEO Tao were to enter the entertainment industry, she would definitely be perfect for playing that kind of...
Perverted villain who reveals themselves to be the mastermind in the final stage!
030: She is indeed a villain
032: No, she is the female lead
029: Huh?
