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

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Duoduo buried her face in my chest and burst into tears.

Her voice grew louder and louder, as if she was venting emotions that she had never been able to express before.

I stayed quietly by her side, gently stroking her.

She cried for a long time before her voice gradually subsided.

Duoduo cried herself to sleep and fell asleep in my arms.

After that, Duoduo's attitude towards me changed, and she stopped resisting me.

I started teaching Duoduo to speak, intentionally guiding her to call Zhong Junchen.

At first, the word "dad" was difficult for Duoduo to say.

Later, she became more and more natural and called out more and more frequently.

It was only then that I realized my efforts had paid off.

Zhong Junchen was so moved that he burst into tears.

After Duoduo calmed down, I handed her back to the nurses for care.

But after all the effort I put into treating Duoduo, Zhong Junchen took the initiative to extend an invitation, "Ms. Gu, I would like to invite you back to the company with me."

Without a second thought, I readily agreed.

This is a great opportunity for me.

I had just returned to the downstairs of Muyu Company with Zhong Junchen when I saw Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan get out of the car together.

The four of us met.

Upon seeing me, Jiang Yichen frowned almost instantly and said with considerable displeasure, "Gu Mo, what are you still doing here?"

I didn't answer him, but quietly followed Zhong Junchen.

Because Duoduo's condition had improved, Zhong Junchen was in a very good mood.

Upon seeing Jiang Yichen, she proactively said, "Mr. Jiang, you've come at the perfect time. Miss Gu is here too. Let's go to the office and renegotiate our cooperation."

Upon hearing Zhong Junchen's words, Lin Nan looked at me suspiciously.

After turning her gaze away, she took the initiative to introduce herself to Zhong Junchen.

"Hello Mr. Zhong, this is Lin Nan. I am officially taking over this project."

Zhong Junchen just smiled and said casually, "Who Lin Nan is is not important. This cooperation can only be discussed with Gu Mo present."

Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan both showed puzzled expressions.

Even though he noticed their strange expressions, Zhong Junchen ignored them and instead greeted me warmly.

"Since Miss Gu wants to discuss cooperation, let's go to the office first."

With that, Zhong Junchen led our group over.

On the way there, Lin Nan deliberately lowered her voice and questioned me.

"Gu Mo, what methods did you use to get CEO Muyu to require you to be present when discussing cooperation?"

Considering Duoduo's situation, I did not tell her the truth.

Seeing that I remained silent, her mocking voice rang out again.

"Are you determined to keep bothering Yichen?"

My instinct was to defend myself.

"It's true that I asked Mr. Zhong for this cooperation, but I just want to make up for the mistake I made last time."

Lin Nan didn't believe me at all and just snorted coldly.

After entering the office, Zhong Junchen resumed his usual serious demeanor and looked at Jiang Yichen earnestly.

"President Jiang, I have only one request for this cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen nodded slightly and responded politely.

"Please feel free to speak, Mr. Zhong. If it is within my power, I will do my best to cooperate."

Seeing that he had agreed, Zhong Junchen slowly stated his request.

"My only request is that Ms. Gu act as my sole representative in this collaboration."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel uneasy and began to have doubts.

"Mr. Zhong, you're not joking, are you? Put Gu Mo in charge? She doesn't know anything."

Zhong Junchen, however, disagreed and insisted on his decision.

"This is my only request. If you can agree, we can cooperate. If not, there's no need to talk anymore. If Miss Gu is not at Jiang's, our cooperation will also end."

As someone directly involved, I never expected Zhong Junchen to make such a decision.

Jiang Yichen's eyes gradually darkened.

He stared intently at me, lost in thought.

Seeing that he did not respond for a long time, Zhong Junhao asked for his opinion again.

"President Jiang, this is my only condition. Is it acceptable to you?"

After a few seconds, Jiang Yichen finally gave in and agreed in a deep voice.

"can."

After Jiang Yichen relented, the two parties reached an agreement.

I thought Jiang Yichen would be happy, but after leaving Muyu Company, he turned against me.

"Gu Mo, wasn't this all part of your plan?"

Although he spoke in a questioning tone, his voice carried absolute certainty.

It was as if we already knew the outcome.

I didn't understand why he would say that, so I could only try to explain it to him gently.

"No, I have never plotted against you."

But to him, it sounded as if I was intentionally deceiving him.

Jiang Yichen never believed me at all, and he made his point even clearer.

"Really? First, they deliberately leaked information, and now they're facilitating it. Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?"

My body stiffened, and my hands clenched involuntarily.

All my efforts were seen by him as nothing more than scheming and manipulative tactics.

But what do all the things I've done these past few days count for?

Am I ridiculous?

"Is that all I am in your eyes?"

I suppressed my grievances, looked up at him directly, and asked him resentfully.

But the next second, his answer hit me hard.

"Isn't that right? You're facilitating this collaboration again just so you can become an agent."

Lin Nan couldn't help but chime in and criticize me.

"Now all cooperation needs to go through you, isn't that your real purpose? Gu Mo, do you know how much effort we've put in because of your actions?"

The two of them, working in unison, completely sealed my fate.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and explained again.

“I never thought that way; I just wanted to make up for the damage I caused.”

As soon as I finished speaking, a cold laugh followed.

Jiang Yichen stared at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of disgust and disdain.

"Do you think I'd believe you? There aren't that many coincidences. I don't believe it's just a coincidence."

The grievances in my heart were magnified infinitely.

He only sees the results, but he has never seen the effort I put into them.

"I said I didn't, and that means I didn't."

I tried my best to defend myself, even though my words were weak and ineffective.

No matter how I tried to explain, Jiang Yichen showed no sign of believing me; on the contrary, his attitude became increasingly indifferent.

His tone carried a hint of warning.

"Once or twice is one thing, Gu Mo, but I hope you won't try such tricks again in the future."

His words made my nose sting and my heart feel increasingly heavy.

Knowing that explaining was useless, I didn't want to argue with him anymore.

I managed to salvage the partnership, and I have a clear conscience.

News of the collaboration between Muyu Company and Jiang Yichen spread quickly.

My role as an agent has also sparked considerable discussion.

Not wanting to get entangled with him any longer, I decided to leave directly.

I was just about to leave when Jiang Yichen shoved me into the car.

He forced himself to sit next to me and took me back to the hotel where he had originally been staying.

Upon seeing Jiang Yichen's actions, Lin Nan frowned in confusion, "Yichen, what are you planning to do with her?"

Jiang Yichen, however, spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, saying bluntly, "Who knows what tricks she might play next? The safest thing to do is to keep her under our noses."

Listening to their conversation, I felt nothing but utter mockery.

Even though I've made so many efforts, he still doesn't believe me and even wants to keep me under surveillance.
