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

I know that this was my fault, but there were reasons for it.

This inexplicable punishment feels more like they're angry with me.

I've done unexcused absences before, but he's never held it against me.

Before I could even open my mouth to argue, Jiang Yichen said coldly, "If you don't want to stay at the company, you can go directly to Song's Group, as long as Song's Group dares to take you."

I vaguely sensed a hint of threat in the tone.

I realized it immediately.

It's because I accepted Song Le's help.

So what? He was the one who refused to help back then.

I suppressed my anger, looked up to meet his gaze, and answered firmly, "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay at the company."

I could clearly feel that Jiang Yichen's expression changed after he said those words.

The hostility from before had lessened somewhat.

What he didn't know was that I just wanted to find out whether my family's bankruptcy had anything to do with him.

"If you want to stay with the company, you should be clear about what you should and shouldn't do."

Jiang Yichen's tone still carried a hint of warning, but it was much gentler than before.

Taking this opportunity, I pretended to be compliant and begged him to reduce the punishment.

People have to bow to money.

This is my master.

Although Jiang Yichen disapproved of my actions and made sarcastic remarks, he ultimately halved the punishment.

Back in the workroom, I shared my ideas with Lao Mo, hoping he could help me improve the live stream content.

When he heard that I wanted to do charity live streams, he immediately offered his support.

After all, very few online streamers choose the same path as me.

If this can be successfully implemented, it will not only make us a leader in the public welfare sector, but also help victimized families.

This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Once we settled on the general direction, Lao Mo helped me modify the content of the live stream.

I specifically set aside a section in the live stream room to broadcast information about missing children.

Although I don't have many fans in my live stream, many of my long-time fans have spontaneously shared my posts after seeing my career shift.

It attracted a lot of passersby to come and see.

My popularity skyrocketed.

Seeing the support from my fans fills me with enthusiasm, and I'm even more determined to spread the word about public welfare.

In the following days, although not much profit was made, the number of fans increased by tens of thousands.

To boost sales, I focused even more on live streaming.

Just when I thought everything would be fine, a phone call shattered the situation.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, I was a little surprised, but I answered it anyway.

As soon as the call connected, I heard my mother crying and screaming through the receiver.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly asked what was wrong.

That's when I realized that it was my neighbor who made the call.

At that moment, there was trouble at my home, and they wanted me to go back quickly.

Worried that something might have happened to my parents, I could only explain the situation to my fans temporarily and rush home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that it was a complete mess, with tables and chairs overturned on the floor, and a large group of people gathered inside.

I pushed through the crowd and walked inside, where I saw my mother kneeling on the ground, crying incessantly.

I quickly stepped forward to shield her, warily eyeing the group of people around us, and coldly questioned, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

The group of people looked self-righteous. After seeing me arrive, they looked me up and down before explaining what had happened.

It turns out my dad borrowed money from loan sharks.

He said it was to pay off debts.

This group of people came to collect a debt.

I understood the general situation and felt a sense of panic, but even so, I tried my best to remain calm.

I've known since I was a child that loan sharks are something you shouldn't touch, but I never imagined it would happen to my own family.

But I can't afford to lose my composure now.

My mother kept crying, and the group of people kept pleading for her.

Unfortunately, those people didn't care. They glanced at us indifferently and then fixed their gaze on me.

“If you can’t pay back the money, you can use your daughter to pay off the debt.”

The debt collector had a hint of amusement in his eyes as he said this.

Upon hearing this, my mother immediately pulled me into her arms and refused without even thinking.

"No, you can't touch my daughter."

Her refusal, however, provoked the debt collectors' anger.

The man kicked her mercilessly, saying viciously, "I think your whole family are worthless. If you can't pay back the money, you'll all die."

He then kicked the victim a few more times to vent his anger.

Seeing my mother being beaten, I felt heartbroken and struggled out of her arms to stop the man's actions.

"I'll pay back whatever money my dad borrowed, I'll pay it all back."

Upon hearing my reply, the man coldly retorted, "You still owe us? Fine, your father owes us 300,000 yuan. If you can't pay it back within a month, you'll be coming with us."

Even 300,000 is an astronomical figure for our family right now.

Before I could answer, my dad quickly denied it, saying, "I didn't borrow that much at all. Why should we pay back 300,000?"

Upon hearing this, the man became even more enraged and struck him several times.

Unable to bear seeing him being beaten, I didn't care about anything else and immediately agreed, "I'll pay it back, just this month, please don't beat my parents anymore."

Only then did the man finally stop.

As if remembering something, I frowned and said, "I will pay back the money within a month, but you can't keep doubling the amount."

Interest compounding like that isn't like my temper, which I can easily control.

"Okay, we'll do as you say. I'll come back for the money in a month."

Seeing that the man had agreed, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They left immediately after reaching a verbal agreement with me.

Looking at the mess inside the house, I felt utterly exhausted.

Even so, I still managed to help my parents up and then tidy up the house.

My dad felt very guilty and apologized to me repeatedly.

"Momo, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm just an old man who's a burden to you."

Not wanting him to blame himself, I just shook my head and smiled to comfort him, "It's okay, Dad. As long as I'm here, nothing is insurmountable."

Even so, I'm still not entirely sure.

I don't know how I can earn 300,000 a month.

After settling my parents in, I rushed back to the company to do a live broadcast.

My only way to make money now is to increase my popularity so I can get company bonuses and revenue from live streaming.

So I started streaming day and night, gradually becoming the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Several times, when I stayed up late, I was completely exhausted.

But to my surprise, Jiang Yichen found out about it.

He pushed the door open and tried to end my live stream.

"Gu Mo, what time is it now? Hurry up and go home. If you die here suddenly, the company will not be responsible."
