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

Without giving me another chance to get closer, Jiang Yichen stood up abruptly, his gaze indifferent.

"Gu Mo, do you think this kind of method will work?"

These words were an extreme insult to me.

I felt terrible, but I dared not vent it.

"You'll stop at nothing for money." His deep voice carried a hint of coldness.

My nose tingled, and tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

My heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, a slight stinging pain.

The next second, I knelt on the ground and begged, "Jiang Yichen, please, my dad needs money for surgery."

I have to get the money as quickly as possible, or my dad will lose his arm.

Jiang Yichen's gaze turned even colder as he looked at me.

"I can lend you money, but there are conditions."

I didn't even have time to care about the conditions; I immediately stood up and nodded, "I promise you, I'll do anything."

Since it's already like this, how much worse can it get?

"Next month, your performance must rank in the top ten."

I froze for a moment.

The top ten performers this month generated 20 million in revenue, which is an impossible task for me.

But I can't refuse now.

"Okay, I agree."

Soon, Jiang Yichen transferred the money to my card.

He leaned closer to me, radiating a chilling aura. "Gu Mo, you clearly have a better choice."

He raised his hand and stroked the hair at the tip of my ear. I was so startled that I froze, too afraid to move, and just lowered my eyes.

Do you hate me that much?

Is it my imagination?

I could detect a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Before I could answer, his phone rang.

He glanced at the screen and quickly went to the side to answer the call.

The expression on his face was incredibly gentle.

Who else could it be but Lin Nan?

I didn't have time to stop, I quickly transferred the money to my brother, and then rushed to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, my dad had already successfully undergone surgery.

My brother and my mother stood guard at the door of the ward, their faces full of worry.

"Mom, how is Dad? What did the doctor say?"

My mother couldn't help but sigh, wiping away her tears, and said, "The doctor said that your father's hand can be reattached, but he definitely won't be able to do heavy or delicate work anymore; he'll only be able to do everyday activities."

She seemed to have aged considerably, and her face looked extremely haggard.

"It's okay, Mom. It's good that your hand can be reattached."

Even so, I knew in my heart that after my father's accident, the family would lose a breadwinner.

The next repayment date is fast approaching, but it has become a problem.

My brother seemed to read my mind and came over. "Don't worry, I'll run a few more hours tonight and I can earn it back."

He has lost a lot of weight recently, and there are bruises under his eyes, which suggests that he has not rested well for a long time.

I suddenly remembered that my father's injury should be considered a work-related injury, and the construction site should pay compensation.

Although it's unclear how much we can gain, something is better than nothing.

The next day at daybreak, I went to the factory on behalf of my father to inquire about the compensation.

Unexpectedly, the security guard at the gate changed his attitude as soon as he heard that I was there to see the factory manager.

"Go away, Director Liu is not at the factory today. You can go back now."

After saying that, he blocked me outside and wouldn't let me in no matter what.

I'm also stubborn, so I stood guard at the door.

No matter what, I must see Director Liu today.

I squatted at the door for several hours, and it wasn't until almost noon that I saw a car drive in.

Once I confirmed it was Director Liu's car, I closed my eyes and drove straight towards it.

Factory Director Liu slammed on the brakes, yelling, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don't you have eyes? You dare block my car?"

He got out of the car cursing and swearing, looking like he was going to teach me a lesson.

Ignoring his anger, I gritted my teeth and went up to him.

Upon seeing me, a hint of greed flashed in Director Liu's small eyes, and his expression immediately softened considerably.

"Look at you, if you need anything, just come inside and find me. It's not safe to flag down a car."

Then I told him about my father.

When Director Liu heard that I had come to ask for compensation, he frowned almost imperceptibly, but quickly smiled and said to me again.

"This isn't the right time to talk business. Come to my office and we'll discuss this in detail."

When I arrived at the office, Director Liu looked at me with a malicious gaze and didn't mention compensation at all.

His gaze made me extremely uncomfortable.

"Director Liu, my father's injury is a work-related injury. How should the factory calculate the compensation?"

When Director Liu saw me speak, he looked regretful.

"It's not that the factory is unwilling to pay, it's just that your dad is a temporary worker, and according to regulations, he is not entitled to compensation."

I expected getting money back wouldn't be so easy, but I never imagined he would be so shameless as to refuse to give me a single penny.

My attitude immediately hardened, and I argued with him rationally.

"My dad was injured at work. Are you trying to deny it just because he was a temporary worker?"

Factory Director Liu remained unmoved and spoke calmly.

“I understand how you feel, and I’m also very sorry that this happened. However, I can set a precedent for your father, but... you’ll have to pay a price.”

My first thought was that he wanted me to give him a gift.

I calmed down, forced a smile, and went along with what he said.

"Director Liu, I know all the proper etiquette, but I came in a hurry this time. I'll make it up to you next time. I'll have to trouble you with this matter."

Seeing that I had misunderstood him, Director Liu immediately denied it and made his point clear.

"Xiao Gu, that's not what I meant. If you spend one night with me, your father's matter will be easily resolved."

After saying that, he got up and sat down next to me, his big, fat hands touching my legs.

I shoved the person away, saying with disgust.

"Do not touch me."

Seeing that I didn't know what was good for me, Director Liu was very dissatisfied and tried to force me.

I knew I could never give in to him, and I struggled to escape, but Director Liu gripped my wrist tightly.

The man's sudden restraint sent a shiver down my spine.

My strength gradually dissipated, and my legs were so weak that I was about to collapse.

But no matter what, I have to get out of here.

In a moment of panic, I grabbed the ashtray next to me and smashed it down on his head.

Blood streamed down his forehead. Enraged, he immediately reported me to the police, claiming that my attempt to extort money from him had backfired and that I had deliberately assaulted him.

Not long after, the police took me away for investigation.

I was locked up overnight before being released.

My brother came to pick me up, and he looked really grumpy.

Meanwhile, Director Liu stood beside the police, looking at us with a smug expression.

I was resentful and questioned him.

"Why is it that only I am locked up? What about him? He was the one who laid a hand on me first!"

My brother heard what I said and scolded me in a low voice.

"Stop it."

On the way back, I learned that he only agreed to settle the matter privately after his family scraped together money to pay for Director Liu's medical expenses.

If he hadn't relented, I don't know how long I would have been locked up.

Hearing my brother say these things made me feel wronged.

"Why should we settle this privately? He's the one who's in the wrong; he tried to molest me."

My brother interrupted me, saying sternly, "Do you know how dangerous it is?"
