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

Chapter 106 I'm Not a Good Person

After they left, I went straight to Zhong Junhao.

As the organizer, he did not leave immediately after the banquet ended.

Zhong Junhao was somewhat surprised to see me come looking for him.

"Is there anything else, Miss Gu?"

I bit my lower lip, feeling extremely conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally voiced my thoughts.

"Mr. Zhong, thank you very much for your trust in me, but I do not believe I am fit to act as your proxy, and I would like to ask you to cancel the appointment."

Instead of answering my question directly, she asked, "Miss Gu, I'd like to know, what is your relationship with President Jiang?"

I was taken aback, then gave a wry smile and said, "We're just in a superior-subordinate relationship."

For some reason, I felt a sense of relief after hearing my answer, as if he was intentionally changing the subject.

"Actually, I had some hesitation when I was working with President Jiang before. Your matter was just an excuse for me to make a fuss."

I never imagined there was such a situation inside, and I couldn't help but look up at him.

Zhong Junhao didn't seem to care about my gaze and continued talking.

"My main hesitation is because Jiang Yichen is so ruthless and decisive. If I cooperate with him, I might easily be controlled by him."

Only after he finished speaking did I voice my doubts.

"Then why did you change your mind?"

Zhong Junhao made no attempt to hide his admiration for me, stating it directly.

"I cooperated with him because of you. When you were with Duoduo, I felt that you were a trustworthy person. It was also because of you that I trusted Jiang Yichen."

I never imagined that I would have such a good image with Jong Jun-ho.

Looking back on what I did, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and say with a sense of helplessness.

"Actually, Jiang Yichen is like this now because of me, President Zhong. You really overestimate me. I'm not a good person at all."

Seeing my reaction, Zhong Junhao simply smiled and asked softly.

Have you ever thought about changing Jiang Yichen again?

Frankly speaking, if Zhong Junhao hadn't mentioned it, I would never have thought about it in this way, and I began to doubt myself.

Can I really change him?

Zhong Junhao, however, trusted me implicitly and gave me advice.

"Since he's like this now, why don't you give it a try? What if it works?"

I fell silent and began to consider the feasibility of this idea.

"Duoduo has been doing well lately and can say quite a lot now."

Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhong Junhao deliberately changed the subject.

I was also pleasantly surprised, and my attention was instantly drawn to it.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Zhong Junhao smiled at me and continued to tell me about Duoduo's recent situation.

"Duoduo said she misses you very much, Miss Gu. You really changed her."

Before I could answer, Zhong Junhao continued to add to the story.

"Now that Duoduo is willing to come out, she will be here in a little while."

This surprised me, and I couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhong Junhao asked me tentatively.

"Miss Gu, if you're not in a hurry to go back, why don't you wait a little longer?"

My mind was in turmoil, and I really didn't want to stay any longer.

Seeing his expectant gaze, I politely declined.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhong, I might not be available today."

Knowing what I was thinking, Zhong Junhao didn't keep me any longer, and he expressed slight regret.

"It seems that this time it was unfortunate. I hope that Miss Gu can come and visit Duoduo next time she has time."

I agreed, going along with what he said.

I left the banquet hall, but unexpectedly saw Jiang Yichen again.

I didn't expect him to still be waiting here; I clearly saw Lin Nan take him away just now.

Before I could think any further, Jiang Yichen adopted a questioning tone.

"Did you go to Zhong Junhao to complain? What tricks are you trying to pull this time?"

His words stung me.

In his eyes, I will always have this negative image.

"It's not what you think. I just want Zhong Junhao to withdraw his agency."

Upon receiving my reply, Jiang Yichen's face immediately turned sarcastic.

"So, did you withdraw it?"

I was choked up and shook my head helplessly.

Jiang Yichen immediately showed a knowing look.

I know he's misunderstood me again.

My explanation just now seems pale and powerless.

"Gu Mo, your methods are becoming increasingly despicable."

His words hit me like a ton of bricks.

"No, I really went to ask Zhong Junhao to withdraw his agency."

Seeing that I was still trying to explain, Jiang Yichen completely lost his patience.

"Alright, that's enough to fool yourself. Don't try to fool me."

I felt increasingly frustrated.

Just then, a child's voice rang out.

Duoduo suddenly appeared, quickly ran in front of the two of us, and then forcefully pushed Jiang Yichen.

She opened her arms, clearly intending to protect me.

I was surprised by her actions, and my feelings were complicated.

Duoduo stared at Jiang Yichen, putting on a fierce look to warn him.

"Don't you dare bully my mom, or I'll have my dad teach you a lesson!"

Upon hearing Duoduo's words, Jiang Yichen's face immediately fell.

He practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

"Is she your mother?"

Duoduo was unaware of the seriousness of the matter and repeated it with a very firm look in her eyes.

"Don't bully my mom, or my dad will come and teach you a lesson right away."

When she repeated it again, Jiang Yichen turned his gaze to me, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

"So that's why Zhong Junhao values ​​you so much, there's this connection."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, I started to explain without thinking.

"It's not what you think."

But Jiang Yichen didn't believe me at all. He sneered and his eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at me.

"What I'm thinking is that you need to be involved with Zhong Junhao to be able to join this project, isn't it?"

Although he was asking a question, his tone was full of certainty.

In his eyes, I had long been someone who would stop at nothing to achieve my goals.

I wanted to tell Jiang Yichen the whole story, but Duoduo didn't give me the chance.

She took two steps back and threw herself into my arms, speaking as if she were being coquettish.

"Mom, I want to go find Dad."

Duoduo's words interrupted me directly.

Seeing how amicable we were, Jiang Yichen didn't listen to my explanation and turned to leave.

Seeing Duoduo nestled in my arms, I had no choice but to put Jiang Yichen down for the time being.

I took Duoduo to find Zhong Junhao, and I taught her whenever I had a spare moment on the way.

"Duoduo, you can't just call someone 'Mom' randomly. I'm not your mom."

After hearing what I said, Duoduo's little face immediately turned dejected.

Her voice was trembling with tears as she spoke to me, sounding very aggrieved.

"I call you Mom because I feel like you have a mother figure."

As she said this, she held onto my clothes tightly, as if afraid I would suddenly leave.

During my previous investigation, I learned that she had lost her mother at a young age.

Knowing that Duoduo lacks maternal love, I felt heartbroken and felt even more reluctant to say anything more to her.

I took Duoduo to Zhong Junhao's place, and just as I was about to leave, Zhong Junhao called me back.

He looked puzzled and asked me.

"Ms. Gu, Mr. Jiang contacted me and said he wants to cancel the cooperation."

Upon hearing this, I stopped and looked at him with the same puzzled expression, asking in return.

"When did this happen? How come I don't know?"
