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

My brother looked at me with exasperation. "It's a good thing it was him who got into trouble. What if something had happened to you? How would Mom and Dad live?"

Although my brother often teases me, this is the first time I've ever seen him get so angry.

But in this matter, I am the victim, and I can't swallow this anger.

My brother seemed to realize he had been a bit out of line, so he lowered his voice and said, "Society is dangerous these days. If anything happens, don't do it alone."

He still cares about me, but the more he does that, the more wronged I feel.

Not long after, an order suddenly came in on his phone.

"Go home by yourself. I still have to deliver food. Take care of yourself."

Hearing this, I softly replied, "Okay, you can go ahead and get back to work."

After parting ways with my brother, I wandered aimlessly.

The more I think about this whole thing, the more frustrated I feel.

Before the Gu family collapsed, I had always lived in the happy world woven by my parents and had never seen anything so absurd.

Now that I've fallen from my high position, I've finally witnessed the fickleness of human relationships.

Suddenly, I heard a disgusting, smug voice.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that Director Liu was showing off to the people around him while holding a few bottles of wine.

"Hey guys, come over to my place for a drink later. It's on me tonight, so there's plenty of alcohol!"

Looking at his ugly face, my anger flared up instantly.

He touched me inappropriately, but now he's eating and drinking like nothing happened.

"What's wrong, Brother Liu? Didn't you get beaten up? You can still drink."

A man standing next to Director Liu asked a question in a teasing tone.

Factory Director Liu's tone grew increasingly smug. "Oh, she's just a silly woman. She got taken advantage of and still had to give me wine. She got beaten up? These wounds are fake. I'm perfectly fine."

He even lied about something like this!

I could no longer calm down and rushed forward, intending to attack him.

But after taking only a few steps, I stopped in my tracks again.

What should I do if he tries to extort money from me again using this as an excuse?

I chickened out.

I just got out of the police station, do I have to go back in again?

I lowered my head and shrank back.

I can't cause any more trouble for the Gu family.

Director Liu's voice continued.

"It's a shame that woman wouldn't comply, otherwise I would have made sure she couldn't get out of bed all day. Hahaha!"

My heart grew increasingly bitter.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped me.

With all sorts of emotions swirling around me, all I wanted was to get drunk and forget all my troubles.

I wanted to go to a bar to drown my sorrows, but I didn't have enough money.

I had no choice but to settle for second best and went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of high-proof Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

I don't know where I got the courage, but I downed quite a few gulps in one go.

The pungent alcohol burned my throat, and I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, but I felt much better.

I squatted by the roadside and drank the entire bottle of Erguotou.

Alcohol clouded my mind, and my consciousness gradually blurred.

Before I knew it, I staggered to Jiang Yichen's villa.

Fueled by alcohol, I mustered my courage and went up to ring the doorbell.

It took a long time before someone opened the door.

But it was Lin Nan who appeared in front of me.

Seeing that I was like a drunkard, she frowned and spoke.

"Gu Mo, what are you doing here?"

Her voice instantly brought me to my senses. I instinctively took a few steps back and turned to leave as if fleeing.

Unexpectedly, they moved in together so quickly.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Now I'm just a clown that everyone hates.

Coming to find Jiang Yichen was a mistake.

Clutching the empty wine bottle, I hid in a nearby alley.

I didn't dare to cry until I could no longer hear any sound from my surroundings.

I buried my head in my knees and cried out my grievances from the past few days.

God is truly fair. I used to be so careless and abusive towards Jiang Yichen, and now I'm really getting my comeuppance.

I looked up and, in my drowsy state, saw a stray dog ​​not far away, but it didn't seem inclined to acknowledge me.

I laughed. Now even stray dogs on the street avoid me.

I wiped away my tears and was about to get up when Jiang Yichen unexpectedly came looking for me.

He grabbed my wrist and looked at me, speaking in a deep voice.

"Gu Mo, what happened?"

When the familiar voice rang in my ears, I was somewhat incredulous.

I rubbed my eyes, trying hard to see the person in front of me clearly.

But how did he end up here? At this moment, he should be lying in Lin Nan's gentle embrace.

"Jiang Yichen? How could Jiang Yichen come looking for me? Let me go."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned in displeasure, his voice becoming more serious.

"Gu Mo, you've had too much to drink."

As he spoke, he tried to pull me away.

It was then that I realized that what I was seeing was not an illusion.

I instinctively struggled to escape.

But Jiang Yichen reacted quickly, blocking my way and forcibly taking me back to the villa.

Sitting on his sofa, I still felt a little unreal.

Jiang Yichen looked me down and asked again.

"Why did you come to me?"

I lowered my head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Jiang Yichen coldly gave instructions to the servants beside him.

"Go prepare a bowl of hangover soup."

The hangover soup was quickly brought over by the servants.

I felt rebellious and refused repeatedly.

"I'm not drunk, I don't drink this."

I absolutely refused, shaking my head repeatedly.

The maid couldn't do anything with me, so she had no choice but to ask Jiang Yichen for help.

Seeing me like this, Jiang Yichen frowned even more and gestured for the servants to hold me down.

He personally poured the hangover soup into my mouth.

The rough handling hurt me.

I was only released after I drank a bowl of hangover soup.

I don't know where I got the strength, but I pushed Jiang Yichen away with all my might.

"Do not touch me."

His gaze was indifferent as he looked at me.

I couldn't help but sigh.

This man had never treated me like this before.

Every time I got drunk, he would take good care of me, unlike now, when he forces me to drink some ugly soup.

Sure enough, if you don't have money, you can only be subservient to others and be forced into situations by them.

Jiang Yichen didn't speak, but I could clearly see that his pale face looked extremely unpleasant.

It seems like they are sick.

I was about to ask when suddenly my body went limp and I collapsed.

When I woke up the next day, I found myself in Jiang Yichen's villa.

After the hangover, I just had a terrible headache and couldn't remember many things.

I tried to piece together the fragmented memories.

But all I remember is that Jiang Yichen brought me back in the end.

But when I came out of the guest room, I didn't see Jiang Yichen.

Did they go to work?

I casually pulled over a servant and asked, "Where's Jiang Yichen?"

The maid replied casually, "The master and Miss Lin went to the hospital."

"Miss Lin? Lin Nan?" I asked again, not giving up.

"Otherwise what?" The maid glanced at me with a mocking look.

I was startled and felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Lin Nan is living here now, could it be that she's pregnant?
