82: Chapter 82 Li Qingwan was brought to tears by Jiang Feng.

...

It wasn't that Li Qingwan was mentally fragile.

It was that she had experienced too much recently.

First, there was that second-generation heir surnamed Wang in Kyoto who was relentlessly pursuing her.

He had even gone to her home to try and force her to submit.

With no other choice, Li Qingwan was forced into a fake marriage with Jiang Feng and subsequently left Tianlai Entertainment.

After leaving Tianlai Entertainment, Li Qingwan thought she could make a comeback.

But reality dealt her one blow after another.

She was blacklisted by her former employer, Tianlai Entertainment, and lost the rights to all her works.

If Jiang Feng hadn't written that song "bubble" for her,

she might not even have a single work to her name right now.

Then, on The Next Generation of Music, she was challenged by her former student.

If Jiang Feng hadn't stepped in to save the day, her reputation might have been completely ruined.

She had thought that she could achieve everything on her own.

But reality made her realize that she simply couldn't.

This time, she finally got a hard-won opportunity to perform on an official stage.

Yet, it was because she had misplaced her trust in someone.

Now, she not only faced the penalty of paying a high amount of liquidated damages to the officials,

but she might even be permanently banned from official events because of this breach of contract.

More importantly, this was all caused by her own mistake.

She couldn't blame anyone else.

So, at this moment, Li Qingwan's heart was on the verge of collapse.

Looking at the Liangzhou River before her,

she actually began to have suicidal thoughts.

However, at this final moment,

Li Qingwan unexpectedly thought of Jiang Feng.

"If Jiang Feng were here?"

"Maybe things wouldn't be this bad?"

Li Qingwan suddenly thought this.

She didn't know why she suddenly had such a thought.

But the idea just popped out of thin air.

Even though Jiang Feng usually seemed so carefree and unreliable,

at critical moments, this guy was actually quite dependable.

He had helped her quite a lot.

Thinking of this, Li Qingwan suddenly remembered that she seemed to owe Jiang Feng quite a bit of money.

If she died like this,

wouldn't Jiang Feng have no way to get his money back?

With that thought,

Li Qingwan decided to give Jiang Feng a call.

Soon, the call went through.

On Jiang Feng's end, however, there was a lot of noise.

"Jiang Feng, what are you doing?"

Li Qingwan took a deep breath and spoke into the phone.

"Oh, I'm at a bar, watching beautiful girls dance."

Jiang Feng's voice came from the other end.

In an instant, Li Qingwan's nose stung.

She felt a deep sense of disappointment.

She didn't know why she felt this way,

but the feeling was very real.

"Oh, I see. Then keep watching."

"But remember, you're somewhat of a public figure now."

"You need to watch your image."

Li Qingwan said flatly.

"Don't worry, I'm wearing a mask, no one will recognize me."

Jiang Feng chuckled.

"Fine, fine."

Li Qingwan's mood sank even lower.

"Is something wrong?"

"I get the feeling you aren't very happy on this trip to Liangzhou."

Jiang Feng asked as he walked to a slightly quieter spot.

"It's nothing. What could be wrong?"

Li Qingwan's nose stung again, but she forced herself to hold it back.

"Oh, good, as long as you're okay."

Jiang Feng nodded.

"It's just that... the money I owe you, I might not be able to give it to you for now."

"But you can take the IOU I wrote for you to Kyoto and find my parents."

"My parents will give you the money."

Li Qingwan thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean you can't give it to me?"

Jiang Feng frowned.

Although he seemed careless,

he wasn't stupid enough to miss that.

Naturally, he could tell something was wrong with Li Qingwan.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, if you want the money, just do as I say."

Li Qingwan said.

"That's not right. You owe me money, so I'm definitely asking you for it."

"What's this about going to your parents?"

"And when did you write me an IOU?

"Are you trying to stiff me? Is this some kind of excuse you're making up?"

Jiang Feng's voice rose.

"My net worth is in the billions; would I really be short of your ten million?"

Li Qingwan was clearly angered by Jiang Feng.

"Who knows? They say the richer someone is, the stingier they are."

"Besides, you really do owe me money."

"I don't care, I'm only asking you for this money."

"I'm not asking your parents."

Jiang Feng continued to nag.

"Are you sick, Jiang Feng!"

"How can you be so materialistic?"

"It's just ten million! Fine, tell me, what do you want to do!"

Li Qingwan was clearly fuming.

She spoke furiously.

It was the first time she had met such a mercenary man.

If all her assets hadn't been frozen,

when would she have ever owed anyone money?

"Write me an IOU."

"I don't trust you right now."

Jiang Feng said.

"I'm in Liangzhou right now, how am I supposed to give you an IOU?"

"Unless you fly to Liangzhou right now, then I'll give it to you."

Li Qingwan said, speechless.

"Then tell me the address, I'm coming over now."

Jiang Feng continued to press her.

"You!!!!"

"Fine, I'll give you the address, you come over right now!"

"If you don't come, you're my son!"

Li Qingwan was completely driven over the edge by Jiang Feng.

She cursed for the first time.

And after she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

She sent the address to Jiang Feng.

After sending the address, Li Qingwan

squatted on the ground and cried helplessly.

She seemed to have forgotten how long it had been since she last cried.

But at this moment, she felt like the whole world was bullying her.

She felt so wronged.

Sitting by the river, her suicidal thoughts grew stronger.

However, at the thought of Jiang Feng's mercenary face,

"Forget it, I'll give him the IOU first."

Li Qingwan decided to wait by the river.

She didn't dare return to the hotel now.

She didn't even dare to answer any phone calls.

Thinking of this, she turned off her phone.

She just sat quietly by the river.

Even though it was already past midnight.

The cold wind swept across the banks of the Liangzhou River,

making Li Qingwan, in her thin clothes, shiver uncontrollably.

But Li Qingwan was a stubborn woman.

In truth, she was afraid to face everything that would happen after dawn.

Tomorrow night was the rehearsal for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

She no longer had any hope of turning things around.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, three or four hours had gone by.

It was now three or four in the morning.

But Li Qingwan still sat quietly by the river.

Many people passed by the riverbank, many looking at her with strange eyes.

Many also asked her if she was okay, but she shook her head and refused them all.

She was waiting for Jiang Feng.

Once Jiang Feng arrived and she gave him the IOU,

she could jump in with a peaceful mind.

Just as Li Qingwan was starting to feel drowsy,

a group of drunks happened to pass by the river.
