sudden death?

How could something so wonderful happen to me?

I looked up and met his gaze, shook my head in refusal, and stubbornly said, "How long I broadcast is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you."

Seeing my expression, Jiang Yichen had a guess in his mind, and casually softened his tone to ask, "What happened?"

For some reason, I felt a little resentful and resorted to harsh sarcasm.

"What does this have to do with you? Don't you just want to see me get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen subconsciously frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied.

Thinking of my brother's situation, I continued, "Stop pretending. Even when something happened to me, you just stood by and did nothing, didn't you?"

Jiang Yichen seemed quite annoyed by my retort and said without any mercy, "Don't you have a lot of connections and resources? When Gu Bai got into trouble, you still managed to resolve it easily, didn't you?"

Before I could even argue, Jiang Yichen added another sentence.

“In your heart, Song Le is your first choice.”

Upon hearing this, I felt a complex mix of emotions.

He seemed jealous, but also seemed to be mocking me.

I really can't figure out what this man in front of me is thinking.

But I don't want to get entangled with him any further.

Just then, a rapid cell phone ring interrupted the conversation.

It was my mom calling.

I have a bad feeling.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, and my hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, my mother's tearful voice came through the receiver.

"Momo, come back quickly, something happened to your dad."

Upon hearing this, I felt a buzzing in my head.

I tried my best to stay calm. "Mom, what's going on? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

My mother replied through sobs, "If your father wants to jump off a building, no one can stop him."

My expression changed, and I couldn't help but raise my voice a few decibels.

"What? I'm going home right away."

I immediately hung up the phone, closed the live stream, and was about to leave.

Seeing my strange expression, Jiang Yichen offered to take me home.

I originally wanted to refuse, but I was too worried about my dad, so I had no choice but to agree and hurry home.

As soon as I arrived at my residential complex, I saw my dad's figure on the rooftop.

He cried and shouted repeatedly, saying he was sorry to me and sorry to the Gu family.

I hurried upstairs.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Yichen's expression gradually became subtle, and he followed me to the rooftop.

At that moment, my dad was standing on the edge of the rooftop, and my mom didn't dare to go forward.

My mother kept trying to persuade me with kind words, but unfortunately it had no effect.

My dad reacts extremely strongly whenever she takes a step closer.

Seeing my dad looking like he was contemplating suicide, I was extremely worried and took the initiative to persuade him, "Dad, come down first, let's talk things over."

But after he saw me, he became even more emotionally distraught.

Jiang Yichen followed me up, and when my mother saw him, she looked at him as if he were her lifeline.

Ignoring her disheveled state, she scrambled to Jiang Yichen's side and pleaded with him.

"Yichen, please help us, please help the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes betrayed an unreadable emotion.

I don't want to owe him a favor.

I immediately stopped her, saying, "Mom, we don't need his help with the Gu family's affairs."

The matter of the Gu family's bankruptcy has not yet been clarified, and I don't want Jiang Yichen to be involved.

When my mother heard what I said, her expression gradually became complicated.

Our conversation seemed to have captured my dad's attention; he stared straight at us.

My brother seized the opportunity and quickly moved over to pull him away from the edge.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yichen looked us over and then said in a deep voice, "I can help you, but it depends on Gu Mo."

His eyes held an ambiguous meaning as he said these words.

I knew perfectly well that he was implying something to me.

He just wants me to continue being his mistress.

He was constantly humiliating me.

In a fit of anger, I retorted, "Jiang Yichen, they always say I've wronged you, but haven't you ever done anything to wrong me?"

Upon hearing my words, Jiang Yichen's eyes instantly turned cold, and he let out a mocking laugh.

"Then tell me, what did I do to you?"

I grew increasingly angry and continued, "You know better than I do whether you've done it or not; Heaven is watching what people do."

Jiang Yichen's eyes held a hint of anger, as if he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to me, and he turned and left.

Watching his decisive departure, I felt somewhat dissatisfied, but I didn't intend to stop him.

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, my mother immediately realized that something was on my mind.

After the others had walked a little further away, she asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Momo? Did Jiang Yichen bully you?"

But that's all based on my speculation; I don't have any evidence yet.

I shook my head and didn't say anything.

My mother's eyes were full of worry. "Momo, no matter what happens, our family will face it together."

"Mom, let's go downstairs first, it's getting late."

Just as we were at an impasse, my brother suddenly spoke up, intending to change the subject.

My mom stopped arguing and left with us.

The next day.

The story of my dad borrowing money from loan sharks and threatening to jump off a building was filmed and uploaded online.

The headlines those journalists used were particularly offensive.

The comments section was full of mockery directed at me and my family.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I felt the malice coming from all directions.

They looked at me with mocking eyes, and they looked down on my family from the bottom of their hearts.

I've long been used to their disdain.

Ever since my family went bankrupt, this kind of gaze has been a constant presence in my life.

But so what? I'm still alive and well. At most, people will just talk about me.

I thought that if I kept quiet and ignored it, I could get away with it.

But to my surprise, Xiaoyu was a restless girl; she insisted on showing off in front of me.

As I was about to go upstairs to my studio to do a live stream, Xiaoyu decisively blocked my way. Her tone was full of sarcasm as she looked at me with disdain, "Gu Mo, your family owes so much money, your dad is about to jump off a building, how can you still come to work with peace of mind? If I were you, I wouldn't dare to come out either."

Upon hearing this, I slightly raised my head and coldly said, "My family's affairs are none of your business. Move aside, I still have work to do."

Seeing my reaction, Xiaoyu became dissatisfied and continued to attack me, "You're really shameless, still thinking of yourself as the pampered young lady you used to be?"

As she spoke, she gave me a hard shove, as if she wanted to teach me a lesson.

I lost my balance and missed a step, falling backward.

When Brother Zhang saw that I was about to fall, he instinctively reached out to help me up.

Before he could even touch me, Xiaoyu pulled his hand back. "You dare?"
