There was some unknown commotion outside the door, and a moment later, the door opened.
Jiang Yonghe had already harbored the intention of capturing Long Yuan's heart, so during the time she was locked in the private room, she had been continuously tidying herself up in front of the mirror.
In order to prevent Long Yuan from seeing the knife scars on her face, she deliberately tore a piece of gauze, cut it into a veil, tied two strings to it, and looped it over her ears to cover her face.
Hearing the door open, she immediately raised her eyes to look over.
She knew exactly what kind of look would evoke the most pity, having used it plenty of times when she was with the Jiang family, so she had it down to a science.
However, she didn't expect that the person walking in wouldn't be Long Yuan, but Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong barged in fiercely, her originally beautiful and delicate face instantly turning as dark as stormy waters.
She glared at Jiang Yonghe before her, her eyes seemingly shooting fire, and gritted her teeth as she said, It really is you, Jiang Yonghe!
She rushed up to Jiang Yonghe, raised her hand, and delivered a vicious slap across her face.
With a crisp smack, the veil on Jiang Yonghe's face was knocked right off.
Jiang Yonghe was struck dizzy by the sudden slap. Her body staggered backward involuntarily, and ultimately unable to keep her balance, she fell heavily onto the cold, hard floor.
Seeing this, the bodyguards standing outside the door hurriedly tried to explain, Miss Yu, you have misunderstood. This woman is not Young Master Long's lover...
However, Yu Linglong couldn't hear a word of it. With a face full of fury, she demanded, Just based on that seductive, fox-like look she had just now, you dare say she isn't his lover? What, could she be his comrade-in-arms?
Take her away! Let her know the consequences of stealing my man!
Miss Yu, this is the person Young Master Long wants to see. You cannot take her away...
Hands on her hips, Yu Linglong roared domineeringly, Today, no matter what, I am taking this person away! I would like to see which one of you dares to stop me!
One of the bodyguards looked troubled and cautiously reminded her, Miss Yu, doing this will probably upset Young Master Long...
To his surprise, Yu Linglong sneered and retorted, According to you, is this shameless woman somehow more important in Long Yuan's heart than me, his rightful fiancee?
Faced with such an aggressive interrogation, the bodyguard was instantly left speechless, entirely unsure of how to reply.
Seeing this, Yu Linglong's arrogance only grew. Ignoring the bodyguards' dissuasion, she waved her hand directly at the bodyguards she had brought with her, signaling them to forcefully take away the fallen Jiang Yonghe.
Once downstairs, Jiang Yonghe struggled desperately and threatened, Yu Linglong, I am completely innocent with Young Master Long. If you take me away without permission and anger Young Master Long, you better watch out for the consequences!
Yu Linglong turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Jiang Yonghe again. Look at your situation before you dare threaten me. Do you think you are still the number one talented lady of the capital circle? Bah, you are just a fake who stole someone else's nest!
After getting into the car, Yu Linglong let out a sigh of relief. She turned to one of the bodyguards behind her and said, Alright, you can take her away, but I want to say a few words to your boss, Jiang Youli. Give me her contact information.
Hearing the name Jiang Youli, Jiang Yonghe immediately stopped struggling.
What was going on?
When did this Yu Linglong get to know Jiang Youli?
One of the bodyguards restraining Jiang Yonghe replied, Okay.
...
After leaving the company, Jiang Youli skillfully started her car, stepped on the gas pedal, and sped away.
Returning to the Jiang family's East District villa, Jiang Youli had just parked the car steadily when the phone on the passenger seat suddenly rang with a crisp, pleasant melody.
She picked up the phone and saw a completely unfamiliar number displayed on the screen. Although feeling a bit puzzled, she pressed the answer button.
A woman's voice came from the other end of the line: Jiang Youli?
Jiang Youli raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly guessing the other party's identity, and responded, Yes?
The person continued, I am Yu Linglong.
Jiang Youli had guessed right.
Yu Linglong went on, I have already helped you take Jiang Yonghe away, but I didn't do this because my man was stolen.
The corners of Jiang Youli's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an intrigued smile, and she chuckled softly, Oh? I am all ears.
Yu Linglong explained over the phone, Regardless of whether you had a hand in Second Master Long ending up in the police station this time, since you have the guts to provoke the Long family, it shows you definitely have certain confidence and methods. Therefore, if you can really succeed in completely taking down the Long family, it would be a good thing for me too!
Hearing this, Jiang Youli laughed. Interesting. I thought you were deeply in love with Long Yuan, just like the rumors on the internet say.
Bullshit! Yu Linglong cursed, then said, I just have no way to deal with Long Yuan. Who would like a man like him who resorts to violence at the drop of a hat!
Jiang Youli couldn't help but smile. This Yu Linglong turned out to have a truly straightforward temperament. She said, Alright, rest assured, I will bring down the Long family.
...
In the car, Jiang Yonghe, having heard the phone call, widened her eyes in disbelief and said, Yu Linglong, you actually want to help that bitch Jiang Youli ruin your own fiance!
Hanging up the phone, Yu Linglong looked at Jiang Yonghe with disgust and said, Do you think everyone is like you, only thinking about how to win a man's pity, exhausting all kinds of tricks just to get a man's favor?
Alright, take Jiang Yonghe away.
Watching Jiang Yonghe being taken away, Yu Linglong knew that what she was about to face was Long Yuan's fury.
But it didn't matter. She only had to endure it for a while. Once the Long family collapsed, she wouldn't need this damn arranged marriage anymore!
She was truly sick and tired of everyone thinking she was marrying out of her league with Long Yuan, as if marrying him was such a big deal.
It was obviously Long Yuan who had pressured her parents, forcing her into the marriage.
On the surface, she was an only daughter, but in reality, her father had an illegitimate son on the outside.
By marrying Long Yuan, her father actually thought he could sell her off to secure a powerful backer for his illegitimate son!
In reality, from the Long family's perspective, by marrying her, all of her family's assets would eventually belong to the Long family!
Yu Linglong clenched her fists. Whether it was her father's illegitimate son or the Long family, neither of them should even think about using her to take away the company!
...
Dafeng Entertainment.
Young Master Long, the HR manager just informed me that 12 people from Starlight Entertainment are resigning and jumping ship to our Dafeng Entertainment. Losing so many people all at once, that overconfident girl from the Jiang family must be pacing around anxiously right now, Chairman Yu smiled respectfully at Long Yuan.
Long Yuan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Very good. As for how to settle those 12 people who jumped ship, I will leave it up to you to figure out a way, Chairman Yu.
Just as he finished speaking, the assistant guarding outside pushed open the glass door and walked in, then quickly stepped over to Long Yuan's side and said:
"Young Master, Miss Yu somehow got wind of the news that you had placed Jiang Yonghe at the Nightless City Club. Thinking she was a mistress you were keeping, she caused a huge scene there and took the woman away."
Long Yuan's expression was freezing cold as he looked at the trembling Chairman Yu sitting across from him. "Your daughter certainly has quite the temper."
Chairman Yu swallowed hard. "Please calm down, Young Master Long. I will definitely make that girl Linglong reflect on her actions when I get back..."
Long Yuan said coldly, "I don't want there to be a next time. Otherwise, Starlight Entertainment will end up just like Gale Entertainment."
Chairman Yu nodded repeatedly. "Understood, Young Master Long."
Long Yuan added, "Also, about that AI face-swapping video with Jiang Youli's face I asked you to make earlier—release it as soon as it's done. Then, pay internet trolls to push it up the trending searches to suppress the news of my second uncle going to jail as much as possible. After all, sex scandals are much more entertaining and generate a lot more discussion."
