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

I instinctively turned around to look, but didn't find anything unusual.

I continued singing with Lao Mo, pretending it was just an illusion.

After Lao Mo and I finished singing, we suddenly realized that the phone on the table was pointed at us.

I immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly walked towards the location of the phone.

When Xiaoyu saw what I did, she immediately put her phone away.

I immediately realized that Xiaoyu had been secretly live-streaming while we were singing.

The thought that my duet with Lao Mo had been broadcast live made me furious.

I stared intently at the little fish, and demanded angrily, "Why did you do this without my permission?"

Seeing my reaction, Xiaoyu didn't care at all and simply turned off the live stream.

"Then I won't broadcast it. Gu Mo, you're really petty."

I felt incredibly angry.

She was clearly the one who was in the wrong, yet she still had the audacity to turn around and accuse me.

I could no longer contain my emotions, and with a stern face, I questioned again, "Answer my question! Why did you do this with my permission?"

Seeing that I wouldn't let it go, Xiaoyu also became a little impatient. She shrugged and replied casually, "This is all for the sake of creating a good live stream effect. Besides, isn't what I'm doing just to get more views for you?"

Seeing Xiaoyu's sanctimonious face only fueled my anger.

She took photos without my consent, and now she's pretending to be doing it for my own good.

That's absolutely disgusting.

I wanted to get angry, but Xiaoyu seemed to see right through me and continued before I could, "Alright, Gu Mo, Assistant Lin has already agreed to this, so don't be so petty."

After she spoke, Lin Nan went along with her, saying, "Yes, Gu Mo, we're all from the same company, and everyone is doing this for your own good."

I was disgusted by the shameless faces of these people.

They clearly wanted to embarrass me, yet they dared to act all righteous and awe-inspiring.

Hypocritical, so incredibly hypocritical.

With Lin Nan speaking up, I could only suppress my anger.

This feeling of helplessness enveloped me.

I felt utterly useless.

Even when everyone else is trampling on him, he can only cower like a turtle.

I remained silent and sat back in my seat with a cold expression.

The atmosphere became tense because of my change in expression.

Just then, Xiaoyu's apprentice, whether he was given a signal or not, suddenly picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and came towards me.

Seeing her intentions, I immediately became alert, afraid that I might accidentally fall into a trap.

Xiao Yu's apprentice wore a fake smile and pretended to apologize to me, "I'm sorry, Sister Gu Mo, I was wrong to do what I did before."

I watched her feigned concern with indifference and didn't say a word.

Even though I ignored him, it didn't curb Xiaoyu's desire to perform.

She lowered her posture, bowed deeply to me, and continued, "I know you're still angry with me, Sister Gu Mo. I really know I was wrong. I wanted to take this opportunity to make up with you, and I hope you can forgive me."

As he spoke, Xiaoyu's apprentice handed me the wine glass in his hand.

I didn't think the person in front of me was a good person, but since everyone was watching us, I couldn't make things too ugly.

I stared at the wine in Xiaoyu's apprentice's hand, only taking a symbolic sip.

I thought she would give up after I finished drinking.

Unexpectedly, the little fish's apprentice took advantage of the situation and became even more enthusiastic.

She picked up her glass again, smiled at me, and said humbly, "Sister Gu Mo, let's think of something together later. I hope you can teach me something."

After saying that, Xiaoyu's apprentice downed the wine in his hand in one gulp, and then added, "Sister Gu Mo, this cup is a toast to you."

I knew she was deliberately trying to force me to drink, but I had no choice but to grit my teeth and drink it.

After all, Little Fish's apprentice had gone to such lengths; if I didn't give him face, others would think I was petty.

But Xiaoyu's apprentice wasn't going to give up. He then made up all sorts of excuses to make me drink one cup after another.

My cheeks gradually flushed, and my head began to feel dizzy.

Realizing I couldn't drink anymore, I had to make an excuse to go to the restroom.

Stepping out of the private room, a gust of cold wind blew, and I felt the discomfort subside a little.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to wake myself up.

Just as I was about to leave, Lao Mo came in.

He was walking unsteadily, clearly drunk.

Old Mo hiccuped, then struggled to open his eyes and look at me. "Gu Mo, what did you call me over for?"

Hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel confused, but I still subconsciously denied it, "I didn't call you."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Mo stumbled and lunged towards me.

Seeing him like this, I instinctively reached out to help him up so he wouldn't fall to the ground.

Old Mo tried hard to stand up straight, but his attempts all ended up crooked and unsteady.

I had no choice but to stand beside him and support him.

But just as I was about to help him walk out...

Xiaoyu and several employees suddenly appeared.

When they saw the two of us, they immediately showed disdain.

Xiaoyu was the first to smear, "Gu Mo, are you that thirsty? You couldn't wait even in the bathroom?"

As soon as she said this, her employees around her echoed her sentiments.

"Yeah, Gu Mo, what are you two doing?"

"Is there really such a rush?"

Upon hearing this, I frowned and explained, "Don't talk nonsense, we didn't do anything."

Unfortunately, my explanation had no effect whatsoever.

Xiaoyu's tone became increasingly sarcastic, "It's really unexpected that Lao Mo, who looks so honest, is secretly cheating on his wife."

As she spoke, she kept making clicking sounds.

Their rumors are utterly absurd.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I raised my voice and rebuked, "You guys just spread rumors, don't you? It's clearly Lao Mo who was drunk, and there's nothing wrong between us."

My reaction was exactly what Xiaoyu expected, and she deliberately guided the conversation further, "Gu Mo, don't explain anymore, we all understand."

The colleagues next to him also chimed in.

Several people started asking me questions one after another.

"Gu Mo, why don't you tell us when you two got together?"

"I was wondering why Lao Mo took such good care of you; it turns out your relationship wasn't exactly innocent."

"Could it be that you got into the company because you're dating Lao Mo?"

Several people deliberately made fun of me, and they made up stories that didn't actually happen, making them sound very plausible.

I couldn't explain myself under their barrage of questions, no matter how hard I tried.

Seeing that I had no other choice, I wanted to ask Lao Mo to explain, but to my surprise, he fell asleep in such a short time.

I suddenly realized things were getting complicated.

What made me feel even worse was that Jiang Yichen was standing not far away with a livid face.

Beside him came Lin Nan, who had followed him out.

The sudden drop in pressure made my heart tighten.

Before he could explain the situation, Jiang Yichen's cold and mocking voice rang out.

"Gu Mo, you really aren't picky. You don't even let go of men with wives and children."

I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, like a mute being falsely accused.

Just as he was about to explain, Jiang Yichen turned and left as usual.

Well, I've been unfairly blamed again.

When Lin Nan saw Jiang Yichen leave, she instinctively wanted to stop him, but to no avail.

After everyone left, Lin Nan got angry and blamed me for the mistake.

She took a few steps closer to me, her tone scolding, "Gu Mo, it's all because of you that my birthday has become so terrible."
