Chapter 272 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (22)
Shi Qi was completely dumbfounded, her mind blank. She stared at the assistant who was reporting the news for a while and asked, "The two of them, eloped?"
"Yes, Mr. Fu. The Qin family patriarch is furious and wants to take Miss Qin Ruo back." The assistant was trying not to laugh.
The assistant knew that Xia Qingtian and Qin Ruo had both been interested in Shi Qi before, but no one expected such a dramatic turn of events.
Shi Qi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Qin Ruo must have felt that she didn't have enough screen time, so she was causing trouble when the competition was about to end.
Sure enough, after some investigation, some fragmented clues gradually came together.
It turns out that Xia Qingtian suffered greatly in her life in a wealthy family, felt desperate about all the struggles, and desperately wanted to escape this kind of life.
Qin Ruo already knew her and painted a bright future for her.
Furthermore, as long as Qin Ruo is willing to use her charm, it will be difficult for anyone to escape, even if the other party is a woman.
Xia Qingtian wasn't someone with a strong will or special abilities, so she naturally fell into Qin Ruohu's trap.
Shi Qi: What a baffling move.
Gu Shijiu, who had already returned to the hall: What an exciting plot! How come I didn't expect that?
The viewers in the live stream cheered. No matter what, everyone still loves the scene of two beautiful women being affectionate.
Qin Ruo's votes soared in an instant.
The Leng family was in complete chaos.
When Leng Lingfeng learned that Xia Qingtian had eloped, he was furious, feeling that he had been greatly humiliated.
"How could she do this to me?!"
His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.
Not only did his wife run away, but she also went and married another woman—a woman he had given up his CEO position to marry.
Leng Lingfeng couldn't even imagine how people at home and outside would laugh at him now.
He immediately dispatched his trusted confidants to search for Xia Qingtian's whereabouts, vowing to make her pay for her actions.
It took a long time to find it, mainly because after Qin Ruo finished portraying a complete love story with Xia Qingtian, she completed the competition and disappeared.
The moment Qin Ruo disappeared, Xia Qingtian came to her senses, and she couldn't believe she had done such a thing.
Without Qin Ruo's cover-up, the Leng family naturally found the person very quickly.
The moment Leng Lingfeng saw Xia Qingtian, his rationality completely collapsed, and he became like a maddened beast.
He reached out and gripped Xia Qingtian's arm tightly like a vise, with a force so great it seemed he wanted to crush her bones, letting out a heart-wrenching roar: "You bitch, how dare you betray me! Come back with me!"
Xia Qingtian stared wide-eyed in terror, struggling desperately and crying out, "I won't go back! Let me go! You don't love me at all, you only love your power!"
She knew she had made a terrible mistake and didn't dare go back to face the Leng family.
But having been in a superior position in the relationship for so long, she couldn't bring herself to say that she was being misled. Instead, she spoke recklessly, saying things that were even more infuriating.
Hearing this, Leng Lingfeng felt a sharp pain in his heart, but his anger burned even more fiercely.
He felt that his love had been completely denied, and everything he had done for Xia Qingtian had become a joke. This realization drove him even more insane.
He forcibly took Xia Qingtian home and imprisoned her in a room that looked luxurious but was like a cage.
Leng Lingfeng looked at Xia Qingtian, who was locked in the room, and felt a mix of emotions.
On the one hand, he was furious at Xia Qingtian's betrayal and felt that she had to be punished;
On the other hand, he could not let go of his love for her, and deep down he still longed for her to come back to him. This contradiction caused him great pain.
At first, Xia Qingtian would fiercely resist, cursing at Leng Lingfeng, trying to escape this place that filled her with despair.
But Leng Lingfeng was blinded by anger and jealousy. He was no longer the man who had once doted on Xia Qingtian, but had become a terrible demon.
If Xia Qingtian resisted even slightly, he would punch and kick her, showing no regard for her life or death.
Every time he made a move, a voice echoed in Leng Lingfeng's mind: "You are mine, and you can only be mine!"
He tried to force Xia Qingtian to submit through violence, but every punch that landed on her felt like a blow to his own heart. The pain and pleasure intertwined, driving him even more insane.
"You are my woman, and you'll never leave me in this lifetime!" Leng Lingfeng would roar madly every time he beat Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian initially tried to defend herself, but at this point she no longer cared about saving face and revealed Qin Ruo's strange behavior.
But no one could find Qin Ruo. Leng Lingfeng took this as an absurd attempt to escape punishment and didn't believe it at all.
Xia Qingtian's body is covered with bruises and wounds every day. She doesn't understand how the man who once said he would love and protect her could become like this.
Leng Lingfeng also tormented Xia Qingtian mentally.
He would constantly bring up her and Qin Ruo, humiliating her with the most vicious language, trying to destroy her will.
"Were you happy when you were with that woman? Now you'll taste the price of betraying me!"
These words were like sharp blades, deeply piercing Xia Qingtian's heart.
Every time Xia Qingtian heard these words, she felt her heart being torn apart and her self-esteem being trampled to pieces. She began to doubt herself and felt that she was truly unforgivable.
Xia Qingtian's physical and mental condition deteriorated. She became taciturn, her eyes were vacant, and she lost hope in life.
Often, I would sit alone in a dark corner, silently shedding tears, recalling those beautiful times, my heart filled with regret.
She couldn't understand how she had fallen into such a nightmare.
Leng Lingfeng, however, felt no pleasure whatsoever as he watched Xia Qingtian being tortured beyond recognition.
His heart was filled with pain and contradiction. He loved Xia Qingtian deeply, but he could not forgive her betrayal. He could only vent his emotions in this extreme way.
Every time he saw Xia Qingtian's desperate eyes, his heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, but his pride and anger made it impossible for him to stop.
He was sinking deeper and deeper into the vortex of love and hate, unable to find a way out.
After overhearing about the two of them, Shi Qi felt a sense of familiarity. Upon reflection, she realized it was just like what happened with Gu Shijiu.
Gong Ye and An Zhi seem to be going through a heart-wrenching, soul-crushing love affair.
Ah... Shi Qi touched her nose sheepishly. It shouldn't have anything to do with them, right?
He was just a CEO obsessed with his work, and Gu Shijiu was even worse off; he didn't do anything and had already left long ago.
Thinking of this, Shi Qi flipped through another stack of documents. Whatever, work brings joy.
"This match will end in three seconds. Players, please get ready. Three...two..."
