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

Chapter 117: What kind of trash is he?

The company paid my brother a sum of compensation.

The matter was resolved smoothly, and my parents and I were very happy.

To express my gratitude, I made a special trip to meet with him and gave him some gifts. Only after everything was settled did I return to my normal life.

Not long after, I was re-enrolled in school under Jiang Yichen's arrangement.

Life continued in its predictable and routine manner.

When Song Yuan saw that I had returned to study, she was initially surprised, but soon she started to speak to me sarcastically.

"Hey, why is this big internet celebrity back to studying? Did she run out of fans?"

My experience during this period has taught me that broadening my horizons and expanding my knowledge is always beneficial.

I simply ignored the mockery.

I know that, given her personality, the more I engage with her, the more excited she becomes.

Even so, Song Yuan did not stop mocking me.

"Gu Mo, is it because the threshold for becoming an internet celebrity has become too high that illiterate people are no longer allowed to work? Is that why you came back to study?"

No matter what she said, I acted as if I didn't hear it.

I couldn't be bothered with her and went straight to the counselor's office to report for duty.

When I finished all the formalities and came out...

Only then did they hear several familiar voices coming from the corner.

I went closer and saw Song Yuan with a few girls, openly talking badly about me.

"What kind of woman is Gu Mo? She's just a used slut. How dare she seduce my brother?"

"That's right, Yuanyuan, don't be angry with her. Who knows what she's thinking now that she's back to study?"

"Who does she think she is? She's not even worthy of being compared to you."

The group was engrossed in their conversation and didn't even notice my arrival.

Hearing them say these things, I walked over with a cold face.

When they saw me appear, they all showed a little surprise, but they quickly became self-righteous.

I stared intently at Song Yuan and warned her in a deep voice, "Song Yuan, don't go looking for trouble. I'm letting this go once or twice because of your brother, but this is the last time."

But after hearing my words, Song Yuan sneered and said disdainfully, "Gu Mo, stop bringing up my brother. Who do you think you are? You're not good enough for my brother."

I ignored her and just stared at her.

Having spoken her mind, Song Yuan grew bolder and continued.

“My family has already arranged blind dates for my brother, so he will never be able to revolve around you again.”

I don't know why, but upon hearing this news, I was secretly happy for Song Le.

After warning Song Yuan, I didn't argue with her anymore and left directly.

I had just finished a day of studying and was heading home when Lin Nan stopped me on my way.

I was a little surprised to see her suddenly appear, but I didn't want to get entangled with her any longer.

I simply ignored her.

But Lin Nan didn't intend for me to leave so easily.

She was giving me instructions in a commanding manner.

"Gu Mo, if you're free, come with me to pick out a wedding dress."

I just thought she was being unreasonable, and I rejected her without even thinking.

"I don't have time, and choosing a wedding dress is your business; I don't want to accompany you."

Seeing how decisively I refused, Lin Nan immediately put on a stern face.

But she didn't want to give up, and she kept giving me hints in her words.

"Since you know that choosing a wedding dress is my responsibility, then you must also know what you should and shouldn't do."

I immediately understood the deeper meaning in her words.

This is nothing more than a veiled reminder that Jiang Yichen belongs to her.

Tell me not to touch it casually.

Of course I understand what she means, but I just don't want to make her feel comfortable.

I couldn't help but deliberately retort.

"But you should also know that some of the things you have, I already had a long time ago."

As soon as I spoke, Lin Nan's face turned extremely ugly, and she almost gritted her teeth as she warned me.

"Gu Mo, no matter what, Yi Chen is mine. Don't keep dreaming about him."

I'm already annoyed by the time being wasted.

Listening to her rambling nonsense, I deliberately made my own words harsher.

"So what? No matter what, he's someone I've already been with. You're just picking up what I didn't want."

As I finished speaking, I felt a chill creep up my back.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart, and I subconsciously turned around to look.

They discovered that Jiang Yichen was standing not far away.

I don't know how much of the conversation he heard, but judging from his expression, I guess he heard what I said at the end.

Just then, I saw a smug look flash across Lin Nan's face.

I realized almost instantly that she was deliberately plotting against me this time.

Jiang Yichen walked towards us with a gloomy face and spoke to me in a cold voice.

"Gu Mo, it seems you really can't change your ways. You never took me seriously before, but I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant now."

I want to argue, but I don't know where to begin.

But those words really came from my mouth, so I can't blame anyone else.

Left with no other choice, I took a deep breath and whispered an apology to him, "I'm sorry, Jiang Yichen, I didn't mean to say those things."

Sure enough, Jiang Yichen's expression improved slightly after I apologized.

Just then, Lin Nan gently stepped forward, took his arm, and softly persuaded him, "Alright, Yichen, don't be too angry. Let's go choose a dress first."

After her persuasion, Jiang Yichen rolled his eyes at me and ignored me.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, the shop assistant quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and picked up the dress to help Jiang Yichen change.

Jiang Yichen looked at the dress in the shop assistant's hand, but hesitated to make a move.

A few seconds later, he pointed at me directly in a commanding tone.

"Gu Mo, come here."

Thinking about how I had angered Jiang Yichen earlier, and hoping that being ordered around by him would appease him, I reluctantly went forward to help him put on his tuxedo.

But I've never dressed anyone before.

In the ensuing chaos, I still couldn't get the dress right.

Jiang Yichen's expression grew increasingly grim, but he stubbornly held back his outburst.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, the shop assistant was like my lifeline, taking the initiative to come online and help me fix it.

After Jiang Yichen finished dressing and went out, Lin Nan also changed her clothes.

It was then that I realized Lin Nan hadn't chosen a wedding dress.

Thinking of what Lin Nan had said to me before I came, I inexplicably offered a kind reminder.

"These don't look like wedding dresses to either of you."

But the next second, Jiang Yichen glared at me fiercely and said coldly, "Who said we chose wedding dresses?"

I instinctively looked at Lin Nan, but she deliberately avoided my gaze and didn't say anything.

Not daring to further anger Jiang Yichen, I didn't press the matter any further.

But I couldn't help but feel relieved, and even a little happy.
