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

I made a quick decision to leave, and Jiang Yichen didn't stop me.

As I was leaving, I met Lin Nan's meaningful gaze. Before I could figure out what it meant, a signed divorce agreement and a check appeared in front of me.

Looking at Jiang Yichen's handwriting, I felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in my chest.

Lin Nan spoke with an unfriendly expression: "Don't be fooled by Jiang Yichen's wealth of hundreds of millions. Those assets are not something he can just touch as he pleases. Considering what you've done to him, the fact that he's giving you five million is already more than enough."

My gaze fell on the check...

Seven million.

Although it's not enough, it's not a small amount either.

My rational mind told me I should take the money and leave, but a voice inside me was screaming that I couldn't accept it...

I smirked, raised my chin, and glanced at her. "Who do you think you are!"

Lin Nan's expression froze, as if she was convinced that I was going to make an exorbitant demand. She said with disgust, "Don't be ungrateful. If this goes to court, I can guarantee you won't get a single penny!"

Will it end up in court?

I couldn't help but lower my eyes and smile bitterly. Back then, our marriage was a big deal that everyone knew about, and now our divorce is going to be a huge scandal too?

I really don't have the strength or the confidence to make a scene with Jiang Yichen. I slept with him because I wanted to, and I also wanted to get a divorce. I brought this situation upon myself!

"Too proud to suffer for it" perfectly describes me.

I refused Jiang Yichen's charity and returned to my rented room dejectedly, too ashamed to face my parents' expectant eyes.

My brother came back too. He didn't say anything, just took out a boxed lunch and threw it in front of me, like he was feeding a dog.

I was starving all day and then got caught in the rain; I felt completely dizzy.

I ate my food without any backbone, tears and snot streaming down my face. When my parents saw this, they started crying too. My brother got impatient with our noise and took out his phone to contact all the people he used to know.

I tried everything to be nice, but was met with nothing but cold shoulders. In the end, I managed to scrape together a little bit of living expenses...

Seeing my parents both over fifty years old and eventually leave the construction site, I was too ashamed to stay at home.

After much thought, the fastest way to make money, besides going into the sex industry, is to become a celebrity.

Although I am a bit older, I still have a decent appearance. I could easily be a popular online streamer, if not a star.

I carefully prepared several resumes and sent them out. The responses were all quick, but without exception, the job descriptions all required sexually suggestive content, and you couldn't refuse if you didn't want to.

"Alright! Just stay home and be a good-for-nothing, you won't starve. Stop going out and embarrassing us."

My brother looked at my screen and started making sarcastic remarks behind my back again.

My parents also sighed and lamented, "We spoiled you back then because we didn't want you to suffer from men. It's all our fault as parents for being so incompetent, causing you two to suffer as well."

"do not talk."

If I had heard this before, I would have jumped up long ago.

Now I've finally gotten used to it. I rubbed my calloused ears and turned to look at the three of them. "You just want me to beg Jiang Yichen, right? Fine, I'll go!"

The three people were stunned, looking at each other, hesitant to speak...

I couldn't help but frown.

My brother took out his phone, looked at me with a complicated expression, and said, "Idiot, don't you read the news? He's already engaged."

Engaged? On what grounds? How dare he!

My first reaction was disbelief, since we hadn't changed our marriage certificate yet, and legally we were still husband and wife.

My brother seemed to read my mind and scoffed, "You don't actually think someone like him would wait for you to go through some kind of cooling-off period for divorce, do you?"

Shouldn't it be so?

Isn't that why I've dragged things out with him for so many years?

My parents looked at me like I was an idiot, and after a long silence, they let out a long sigh.

The day I received the court summons, I learned that Lin Nan had taken the divorce agreement and evidence that we hadn't had sex in seven years of marriage to a judge she knew, who directly ruled our marriage invalid.

Could it still be like this?

My heart is filled with indescribable feelings. Even though my wishes have come true, I always feel that things are not going as planned.

Now I only have two paths left: either sell my body in public or find a place where nobody knows me and start selling alcohol...

After much hesitation, I chose the latter.

My parents naturally disagreed, but I was too ashamed to eat at home for free.

My brother asked his cronies to find me a job as a waiter at the Starry Night Club, and told me to just provide normal service and not to do anything extra.

Although he has a sharp tongue and is mean-spirited, thanks to him, my manager and colleagues treat me very well.

My daily job is to serve fruit platters and wine to the VIP rooms, and say a few auspicious words. If they are in a good mood, they will give me a lot of tips. Although the money doesn't come so quickly, it's easy.

At first, I was a little embarrassed and had to wear a mask when I went in to provide services.

Later, I realized that no one inside knew me, so I boldly took off my mask, and that's when I actually ran into someone I knew.

"Gu Mo?"

The first person to recognize me was my fiancé, Song Le, the eldest son of the Song family, whom I almost became.

Then I realized that everyone sitting in the private room was an old friend of mine.

Before I could even catch my breath, my nerves tightened. I slowly turned my face and met the gaze from the corner.

Jiang Yichen was half-lying down in the dim light, occupying the entire sofa by himself, looking at me with a detached gaze.

It was like looking at a stranger.

If Song Le occupies the obvious center position, then Jiang Yichen is like a monarch who secretly controls the whole situation. Even I, who don't care much about these social niceties, can clearly perceive the difference in status in this private room.

This is not surprising.

After all, they've really become successful now.

What I find strange is that Jiang Yichen has always been virtuous and abhorred these kinds of places, so how come it's true that men with money become bad?

I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth and preemptively said, "I really didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."

These words were addressed to Jiang Yichen. Song Le opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Jiang Yichen did not speak, so he did not dare to utter a sound.

"I didn't expect that."

Jiang Yichen reached for the cigarette on the table, his eyes flickering like a misty mountain.

My heart suddenly tightened, but I could only force myself to remain calm and said, "Isn't President Jiang already engaged? Why are you here?"

Jiang Yichen gently blew out a puff of smoke, "Aren't you engaged too? Why are you still in my bed?"

It was clear that Song Le was very tense, but in the end he only coughed lightly, and the originally noisy private room instantly became silent.

Is it really okay for you to be so disrespectful?

I guiltily looked away, so embarrassed I wanted to disappear into the ground.

Jiang Yichen wouldn't let me off the hook, saying to himself, "I thought you really didn't care about money, but it turns out you also come here to make money."
