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

I only came to my senses after I got into the car.

Everything that just happened was too dangerous.

If Jiang Yichen hadn't appeared, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Seeing through the car window that the group of people had been subdued, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I looked away and sincerely thanked Jiang Yichen: "Thank you."

Jiang Yichen ignored me, his expression as cold as ever.

I was used to him being like this, so I didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was cramped; even breathing became tense.

I couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, so I said, "I'm almost home. Thank you for today."

Saying that, I want to get off the bus.

But as soon as I turned the handle, I suddenly realized that he had locked the car door.

I turned around and stared at Jiang Yichen with a puzzled look in my eyes.

What does he want to do?

He met my gaze with a calm expression.

It seemed like they were waiting for me to speak first.

After a moment of stalemate, I took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you lock the door?"

Only then did Jiang Yichen's expression change.

He turned to the side, looking at me with a gloomy expression: "You really don't want to see me?"

His voice was cold, and the anger flowing in his dark eyes grew stronger.

I felt inexplicably confused.

Why is this person angry again?

Is it wrong to want to go back after something like this?

How did it come down to not wanting to see him?

All I want to do is shout to the heavens.

Please, God, distinguish between loyalty and treachery!

Even a mute person who has eaten bitter herbs isn't as miserable as I am.

Seeing that I didn't answer, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his voice grew even colder, "Gu Mo, just how much do you hate me?"

Seeing that he was making a big deal out of it, I realized what was going on and quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean that. I just didn't want to bother you."

Besides, it's only a short walk, there's no need to drive there.

I'm not disabled.

But my words were like stepping on his tail, making him even colder: "Don't want the trouble?"

Jiang Yichen sneered, his contempt growing even more evident in his eyes: "Haven't you caused me enough trouble already?"

His words left me speechless.

I did indeed cause him a lot of trouble, even though I was being very careful.

Seeing that I remained silent, Jiang Yichen's gaze became even sharper: "If you could just behave yourself, I wouldn't have to clean up your messes."

That's very unpleasant to hear.

But it is the truth.

But I'm a person with backbone, and I can't stand being insulted!

So she turned her head away and retorted, "I've never asked you to tell me what to do or help me."

Besides, all of this was just wishful thinking on his part.

They insisted on meddling in my affairs, and in the end, they complained that I was causing trouble.

It’s weird.

If you're so dissatisfied with me, then you should have just ignored me from the start.

Seeing my reaction, Jiang Yichen frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Is that what you think?"

He exuded a sharp and fierce aura.

I turned my head away from him, and said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you keep staring at me like that?"

If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be having such a hard time right now.

I had my back to him, so I couldn't see the expression on his face.

But I could feel the air pressure around Jiang Yichen gradually decreasing.

He got angry again.

After a few seconds, he stared at me, his deep gaze sending chills down my spine.

The man spoke again a second later: "Didn't you treat me like this before, Miss Gu?"

Dead memories resurface.

Memories of the past flashed before my eyes.

I used to treat him badly, and my actions were indeed a bit excessive.

I froze, realizing that he was just trying to humiliate and retaliate against me.

The gratitude I felt just moments before vanished instantly.

I forced a bitter smile and asked, with a sour tone, "So, Mr. Jiang, have you finished watching this joke? If you're done, I'm going back to rest."

Anyway, he saw me in every disheveled state.

It's not a big deal if I embarrass myself in front of him a couple more times.

Seeing that he remained silent, I spoke again: "President Jiang, I have to do a live broadcast tomorrow to boost sales. If you're comfortable watching, please let me leave."

Jiang Yichen did not speak.

Those burning gazes were still fixed on me.

Suddenly I heard the car locks fall.

I didn't want to be in the same space as him, so I immediately got out of the car and ran home.

I clocked in at the company the next day.

When Little Sweetie saw me, she quickly pulled me aside.

She deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Gu Mo, what happened to you yesterday?"

A hint of doubt flashed in my eyes, and I asked, "What's wrong?"

Little Sweetie leaned closer to me and said, "Last night, President Jiang blacklisted Ou Ou and forbade him from live streaming on any platform."

what?

Upon hearing this news, I immediately took out my phone to check OuOu's social media accounts.

Sure enough, no such person could be found.

Why would Jiang Yichen do this?

Is it because Ouou bullied me yesterday?

I was startled and frowned.

Could he be doing this to protect me?

Realizing my own thoughts, I chuckled to myself and quickly dismissed the idea.

Doesn't he know he's always hated me and wants to get revenge on me?

Seeing my reaction, Little Sweetie continued to probe, "Didn't you know about this?"

I shook my head and casually brushed it off, "I didn't know about this. Maybe Ouou is affecting the company."

Little Sweetie clearly didn't believe my answer. She wanted to ask more questions, but seeing my somewhat unpleasant expression, she didn't say anything more.

Before long, she and I walked to the front desk and suddenly saw several new faces.

I stopped and looked at Little Sweetie, asking, "What's the deal with these new girls?"

Besides me, quite a few other people were interested in the identities of these girls.

People coming and going in the company saw it and discussed it for a bit.

Little Sweetie relayed what she knew: "I heard she's a new anchor at the company, but I don't know the specifics yet."

I glanced at it casually and then decided to continue with my work.

The next second, Lin Nan walked over with a stack of contracts.

After she distributed the contracts to several girls, she then called us all to the conference room for a meeting.

Little Sweetie and I had just walked to the entrance of the conference room.

The girls who had just arrived looked frightened when they saw me.

I sensed something was off and was about to ask Little Sweetie when my name suddenly rang out behind me.

Before I could react, the other person hurriedly apologized to me: "Sister Gu Mo, I'm sorry, I hope you won't retaliate against us, we had no choice."

What does it mean?

I stood frozen in place, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

After someone took the lead, the remaining girls also pleaded for mercy.

"I'm sorry, Sister Gu Mo, we know we were wrong..."

"We will never do anything we shouldn't do again, please be lenient."

These unfounded words left me completely baffled.

Wrong? Where is it wrong? And what does it have to do with me?

I couldn't help but ask, "Do you know me?"

The next second, the sound of apology grew louder and louder.

The little girls, with tearful faces, kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. We were forced to stay at the company by Ou'ou. Please spare our lives."

I immediately realized what was happening.

These girls probably saw my video call with OuOu before and thought I was with him.

Now that Ou Ou has fallen from power, they will inevitably be wary of me when they see me here.

How can I explain this to them so they will believe me?
