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

"I was the one who set up Gu Mo's trending topic. Who told her to be so ungrateful and dare to offend me?"

Upon hearing this, I immediately stepped forward, wanting to confront her.

But before I could even walk over, her voice rang out again.

"I just can't stand her. What I want is to ruin her reputation as soon as she gains a little popularity, so that she can never recover."

She is so despicable!

I gritted my teeth, strode up to her, and immediately questioned her, "Aren't you afraid of retribution for deliberately buying negative trending topics about me?"

When she saw me suddenly appear, Xiaoyu showed a hint of surprise, but quickly returned to normal. She said matter-of-factly, "If you dare to do something, you should dare to take responsibility. If you're so capable, then don't do it in the first place."

Listening to Xiaoyu's words, I felt completely baffled. "Then tell me what I did? Everything I have now is earned through my own hard work."

These words only drew a cold laugh from Xiaoyu, "You're not ashamed at all. Everyone knows you're having an affair with President Jiang, otherwise these trending topics wouldn't have disappeared so quickly."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but be taken aback.

I genuinely had no idea that the trending topics suddenly disappeared.

But in Xiaoyu's eyes, my reaction turned into guilt.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

It was a video call from my mom. I didn't have time to argue with Xiaoyu, so I quickly went to the corner to answer it.

As soon as the video call connected, I heard my mother crying loudly.

My heart skipped a beat. "Mom, what happened?"

However, in the next second, my mother's phone was snatched away.

The people who reappeared in the video were loan sharks demanding repayment of their debts.

The man looked at me with amusement, then turned the camera away.

I saw my dad being pinned to the ground by several men, who were holding knives. They had my dad's arm raised high, as if they wanted to cut it off.

I was startled and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The man glanced at me, then gave his subordinate a look.

They loosened their grip, but didn't let him go.

"What can it do? It'll get money, of course."

The man acted as if it were perfectly normal.

My brain went blank for a moment, and anger rose within me as I argued with him.

"I've already paid you back, haven't I? What more do you want?"

The man revealed a sly smile and continued, "What you paid back before was only the principal, but there was also interest."

I couldn't help but shudder, feeling that this group of people were utter scoundrels.

I've already poured all my previous bonuses and savings into it, but I never imagined it wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the man continued to threaten, "If you don't pay the interest, I'll cut off your dad's arm."

I didn't have time to think any further, so I could only plead in a low voice, "Give me some time, I'll figure out how to raise the money, please let my dad go."

For my dad's safety, I can't reason with these people.

"If you can't pay back the money in three hours, you can expect your dad to lose an arm."

The man casually set a time for me.

I didn't have time to argue with him anymore, so I hung up the phone and tried to find a way to raise money.

After some internal struggle, I still barged into Jiang Yichen's office.

Now, besides him, I can't think of anyone else who can help me in the shortest amount of time.

When he saw me suddenly approach, his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Jiang Yichen, can you lend me some money? I promise I'll pay you back, please." My eyes reddened, and I lowered myself to the lowest level, begging.

Jiang Yichen looked me up and down with indifferent eyes, his tone icy cold.

"Gu Mo, in your eyes, is this the only value I have?"

I never expected Jiang Yichen to say something like that, but I still instinctively denied it.

"Jiang Yichen, I never thought that way."

Unfortunately, my explanations were to no avail, and his tone gradually became sarcastic.

"Is that so? Only money can make you bow down."

I couldn't help but feel anxious. "Jiang Yichen, I really have no other choice. Please help me."

Jiang Yichen's eyes gradually darkened as he looked at me, seemingly deep in thought.

After a few seconds, he actually agreed.

"I can lend you money."

His words immediately gave me hope, but I also knew that it was definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, he added the next second, "If you want to borrow money from me, you have to give me something in return."

I fell silent; I knew what he meant.

They just want me to use my body as a bargaining chip.

But I don't want to end up like that.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Jiang Yichen calmly got up from his seat and looked at me with an air of watching a good show.

"Think it over carefully. If you don't want to, then forget it."

I clenched my teeth, my eyes red-rimmed.

Jiang Yichen gradually approached me and pulled me into his arms, clearly intending to use force against me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a gap in his blinds.

If we are willing, people outside can see us.

I immediately sobered up a bit and decisively took two steps back to increase the distance between us.

I just clarified my relationship with Jiang Yichen in front of the company.

If I were to do something I shouldn't with him now, it would only make me a laughingstock.

This further solidified my position based on my physical attributes.

Seeing that I resisted, Jiang Yichen moved closer to me again.

I had nowhere to retreat and he pinned me against the door.

He looked at me calmly, then suddenly leaned down and kissed me.

I turned my head away, intentionally rejecting his touch.

This resistance, however, displeased him. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "You really don't want to? Then leave!"

I subconsciously bit my lip, my face full of suppressed emotion.

I'm going to risk everything for my dad.

I looked at him and mumbled, "I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears of grievance streamed down her face.

In the end, I still couldn't escape this kind of thing.

My tears fell onto the back of his hand, and Jiang Yichen's face instantly turned cold. He frowned and let go of me.

I was surprised by his actions and filled with fear.

He straightened his collar, turned around and sat back down at his desk, his expression calm. "Come to the villa and wait for me tonight."

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

"Can you transfer the money to me now?"

I clearly saw a hint of disdain in his eyes after he said those words.

I know he hates me for being like this, but I have no choice.

Jiang Yichen didn't refuse. He picked up his phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then said coldly again, "I've transferred the money to you, Gu Mo. You've really lowered your standards."

Ignoring his insults, I left the office.

Although the process wasn't very smooth, I finally got the money.

Without thinking, I transferred the money to my mom.
