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

I really wanted to hear what Jiang Yichen had to say, but the numbness from the pain eventually took over.

In a daze, I heard the sound of beating, but it wasn't very clear, and I didn't know who was being hit.

I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jiang Yichen and Fang Xiong weren't in cahoots?

My thoughts gradually became blurred, and I had no strength left. My head fell straight to the ground until I could no longer hear anything...

When I regained consciousness, the scene before me had become a hospital.

A strong smell of disinfectant hit my nostrils, and I couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit disgusted.

I struggled to get up, but the pain all over my body made me unable to move.

"Don't move around once you're awake."

The familiar voice brought me back to my senses.

It's Jiang Yichen.

I turned my head and saw him standing by my bedside, his face dark and gloomy.

So, he went to save me back then?

Suddenly, I was moved.

Thinking of this, I bowed my head and thanked him.

But Jiang Yichen didn't buy it. His eyes held a deep darkness I couldn't fathom. "Gu Mo, you have to live well, otherwise no one will compensate the company for its losses."

These words instantly shattered the slight feeling of emotion I had just felt.

Jiang Yichen doesn't care about me at all; he only saved me for the company's benefit.

I turned my head away, not wanting Jiang Yichen to look down on me.

I will keep my promise.

Although Fang Xiong and his group landed heavy blows, fortunately they didn't injure any vital organs. After lying in the hospital for two days and confirming that there were no major problems, I was discharged.

Jiang Yichen set ambitious targets, and since I lack a fan base, I have to put in more effort than others to make up for it.

More importantly, I cannot lose to him.

After being discharged from the hospital, I spent all my time either sleeping or live streaming. During this period, I tried many different live streaming styles.

Makeup, food, singing and dancing, but I haven't found the right one yet.

But I don't want to admit defeat.

Old Mo had seen all the hard work these past few days, and finally, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Gu Mo, if all else fails, just go and apologize to the boss. He'll definitely lower his demands."

"No, I will not back down."

I rejected him without even thinking about it.

If I surrender now, Jiang Yichen will only look down on me more.

Seeing my stubbornness, Lao Mo sighed helplessly and said, "A merchant has taken a liking to you and has come to you to ask for a collaboration, wanting you to do a live-streaming store visit."

This was a rare opportunity, so I readily agreed.

But I'm just a nobody streamer, why would they be interested in me?

I looked at Old Mo, puzzled, and heard him say, "Because you're cheap."

Lao Mo said that in order to help me find a partner, he deliberately lowered my price requirements when he was negotiating projects outside.

Of course I don't blame him; this is undoubtedly creating an opportunity for me.

However, when I went to visit the store and did a live broadcast, I found that things were not as simple as I had imagined.

Most of the items that merchants display are defective. I can't lie through my teeth, and I'm even less willing to deceive my fans.

In the end, I chose to tell the truth and lay out the pros and cons of the product so that fans could make their own choice.

But this angered the merchants.

He completely disregarded whether I was live-streaming or not and simply snatched my phone.

I didn't react for a moment.

While I was still in a daze, the shopkeeper forcibly dragged me into a small dark room.

With the live stream interrupted, he became even more unrestrained.

He pulled out a dagger and pointed it at me, his expression sinister, as he approached me.

"I asked you to do a live stream so you could ruin my reputation. Don't you even know what you should and shouldn't say?"

The knife was pointed directly at me, and I trembled with fear, unable to utter a word.

"You better behave yourself, or else..."

As he spoke, he pressed my hand firmly onto the table, and the next second, the dagger plunged straight into the back of my hand.

"Ah!" I shouted, closing my eyes.

But the pain I expected didn't come; the knife tip landed between my fingers.

Tears could no longer be held back and streamed down my face.

I was sweating profusely and didn't dare to look up at him.

No one ever told me that something like this could happen during a live stream.

"This is just to teach you a lesson. If it happens again, I'll chop off your hand."

Then he threw me out.

My legs are still shaking, and I can't walk at all.

I stood against the wall for a while before I finally came to my senses.

When I got home, the mess inside the house hadn't been cleaned up yet.

Looking at the chaotic scene before me, a sense of despair welled up inside me.

When will these days finally end?

Not long after, Jiang Yichen called, his tone revealing no emotion.

"Gu Mo, don't you like live streaming? Why did you stop?"

Upon hearing his words, I immediately had a bad feeling.

"Go back to the company immediately and pay the fine." He hung up the phone before I could finish speaking.

I never imagined that after spending so much time today, I would not only fail to earn a single penny, but also lose money.

The most ridiculous thing is that I don't have any money to pay compensation right now.

I reluctantly went to find my brother.

He had just returned from delivering food, and seeing how exhausted he looked, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

He noticed the embarrassment and awkwardness on my face and asked, "What's wrong?"

I briefly recounted what had just happened.

He was immediately furious.

"What kind of company is this? Stop live streaming from now on. I'll go and get justice for you."

As he spoke, he was about to rush out.

I never imagined he would go to such lengths for me.

But that's Jiang Yichen, how can we afford to offend him?

I quickly spoke up to stop him, "Forget it, the company boss is Jiang Yichen, he's just getting revenge on me."

I don't want him to turn his attention to my family because of my resistance.

I can suffer the injustice myself, but I can't bear to see the rest of my family suffer.

"Who told me to treat him like that before?" I said to myself.

Although my brother was unhappy, he didn't go out again.

He saw how I used to punch and kick Jiang Yichen.

He took out the last two thousand yuan from his pocket and gave it to me.

"Call me if anything happens. Don't forget, I'm here for you." My brother looked at me with a hint of pity in his eyes.

I was suddenly very moved.

Indeed, family ties are especially important when a person is at their lowest point.

With the money in hand, I went straight to the company to pay the fine.

However, things were more complicated than I had imagined.

"You also have to compensate for the damage you caused to the live streaming equipment."

I stared directly at Jiang Yichen, my chest heaving with anger.

But I didn't have the courage to argue with him.

After a long pause, I resignedly said, "I really have no money left, can I owe you?"

Jiang Yichen seemed to have been waiting for me to say this, and immediately replied, "No, unless..."
