After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Although I didn't know where these news reports came from, I still frantically tried to explain.

"Mr. Zhong, you've misunderstood. I haven't done anything, and leaking the cooperation information is even more impossible."

Even if I had the greatest courage, I would never do such a thing as betraying my master for personal gain.

Moreover, I had absolutely no idea about this matter.

Hearing my explanation, Zhong Junchen's gaze turned very serious, and he questioned sharply, "Since you did nothing, then explain why you impersonated Lin Nan. Don't think I don't know that you had ulterior motives from the very beginning."

In just two minutes, a label of "having ulterior motives" was slapped on my head.

Not wanting to complicate matters further, I could only patiently explain, "I never intended to impersonate Lin Nan from the beginning. It was just that yesterday's situation left me no time to explain clearly. President Jiang can vouch for me on this point."

I never said that I was Lin Nan at the banquet yesterday.

However, this group of people had a preconceived notion that after Jiang Yichen said I was an employee of Jiang's Group, they mistook me for Lin Nan.

This misunderstanding was not my intention.

But when Zhong Junchen heard what I said, he didn't seem to believe me at all; instead, the doubt in his eyes grew even stronger.

It seems that in his eyes, I am someone who is eloquent and capable of distorting the truth.

Just then, Jiang Yichen suddenly appeared.

Seeing that familiar figure not far away, I felt like I had found a lifeline.

Without thinking, I hurriedly walked over to Jiang Yichen and took his hand without asking.

"Jiang Yichen, you need to quickly explain to President Zhong that I didn't mean to impersonate Lin Nan."

I was in such a hurry that I overlooked Jiang Yichen's gloomy face.

Jiang Yichen looked at my actions with a gloomy expression, and in the next second, without thinking, he forcefully shook off my hand.

It was only then that I realized Jiang Yichen's emotions were off.

I turned to look at him, puzzled, and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yichen exuded coldness as he stared at me and questioned in a deep voice, "Gu Mo, why did you betray me?"

Upon hearing this, I was completely dumbfounded.

Did Jiang Yichen misunderstand me after seeing those news reports?

Before I could even ask a question, Jiang Yichen's voice rang out again, his tone filled with utter anger.

Why did you disclose the cooperation plan and details to the public?

I immediately felt wronged and hurriedly defended myself, "Jiang Yichen, I really didn't do those things, you have to believe me."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Jiang Yichen with expectant eyes.

But he didn't even look at me properly, clearly not intending to believe me.

"You and I went to negotiate the cooperation together, and the contract was handed over to you for safekeeping after it was signed. If it wasn't you, how could those things have been leaked?"

Jiang Yichen's words left me speechless for a moment.

If I hadn't come to see Zhong Junchen today, I would have had no idea that this had happened, let alone what the reason was.

Seeing the two of us facing off, Zhong Junchen didn't bother to interfere further. He simply said coldly to Jiang Yichen, "President Jiang, I hope you can handle these matters well and give me an explanation. As for the cooperation agreed upon yesterday, cancel it."

After saying this, Zhong Junchen turned and left without waiting for Jiang Yichen's response.

With things having escalated to this point, Jiang Yichen lost his patience and reprimanded her sternly, "Gu Mo, you really are more trouble than you're worth. If I had known you would turn out like this, I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place."

Jiang Yichen was very emotional when he said these words.

After saying that, he left angrily.

Faced with the misunderstandings and doubts of several people, I only felt wronged and sad.

I did nothing wrong, yet I have to suffer this innocent misfortune.

I couldn't control my emotions and squatted down at the entrance of the wooden fish company, crying.

I looked disheveled, and everyone around me shook their heads in disbelief.

After a while, my emotions gradually calmed down.

No matter what, I have to pull myself together first. I must investigate this matter thoroughly, and most importantly, salvage the cooperation.

Having made up my mind, I stubbornly waited at the entrance of the Wooden Fish Company.

After waiting for what seemed like forever, I finally saw Zhong Junchen come out from inside.

Upon seeing him, I immediately stood up, brushed the dust off my clothes, and hurried over to him, eagerly saying, "Mr. Zhong, there must be some misunderstanding. Please let me explain."

Upon seeing that it was me, Zhong Junchen looked disgusted, gave the security guard beside him a look, and refused to say another word to me.

The security guards separated the two of us.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhong Junchen got into the car directly, not giving me a chance to make contact.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, I struggled and tried to break through the security guards' encirclement.

Unfortunately, I was a step too late.

As soon as I approached Zhong Junchen's car, I heard him coldly instruct the driver.

"drive."

The car just drove away right in front of me.

I reached out to try and grab the window, but all I grasped was air.

Seeing the car keep driving forward, I didn't care about my image and chased after it as fast as I could.

I kept shouting as I chased after him.

Even so, the car showed no sign of stopping.

I chased after him for a while, but I just couldn't catch up.

I was so exhausted that I collapsed to the ground and it took me a long time to recover.

Back at the hotel, I looked utterly disheveled, but even so, I instinctively went to find Jiang Yichen.

When he saw me coming over, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and his face was utterly indifferent.

I ignored his emotions and sincerely explained and apologized to him.

"Jiang Yichen, I don't know why things turned out this way, but I really didn't betray you. Please believe me just this once, okay?"

Upon hearing my words, Jiang Yichen merely snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "I only believe the facts that are right before my eyes."

Now everything is betraying Jiang Yichen to me.

I understand that without any evidence, any explanation would be useless.

I sighed wearily and then told Jiang Yichen, "This cooperation was lost because of me. I will definitely find a way to win Zhong Junchen back and also find out how this cooperation plan was leaked."

Only by finding the root cause of the problem can it be completely solved.

To my surprise, Jiang Yichen became even more disdainful of me after I said that.

"You simply can't solve Gu Mo's problem with your abilities."

He almost immediately rejected me, but I wasn't willing to give up, so I insisted, "I can."

But he completely ignored my answer and added, "I've already asked Lin Nan to come and help."

Hearing Lin Nan's name stung me, and I almost instinctively asked, "In your heart, is there anything about me that I'm inferior to Lin Nan?"

Seeing that I wouldn't stop arguing, Jiang Yichen sneered and replied, "What do you think?"

These four simple words also represent his attitude.

My heart was wounded, and my eyes gradually dimmed.

In the end, I don't even know how I got back to my room; I just felt incredibly sad.
