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

Chapter 39 What are you acting out now?

It seems that apart from the antidote in Feiyu Entertainment's possession, there is no other way to save Jiang Yichen.

Thinking of all this, I didn't care about anything else and knocked hard on the villa door.

When the maid saw me, her expression was complicated, as if she was struggling with whether or not to let me in.

"I want to see him."

I made my purpose clear without hesitation, and my tone was extremely urgent.

I need to see Jiang Yichen, I absolutely must!

Seeing my reaction, the maid hesitated for a few seconds, but still chose to continue reporting.

Not long after, the maid came out again and took me inside to see Jiang Yichen.

He was lying in bed, feeling completely weak.

Seeing him like this, I was devastated. I quickly went to his bedside, took his hand, and said, "I will take you to get treatment. No matter where you are, I will find you."

Even though I hate him, seeing him like this makes me feel terrible.

Jiang Yichen pulled his hand away without thinking, his eyes filled with utter contempt.

A few seconds later, he propped himself up and sat up in bed, coughing violently, and still managed to mock me.

"Gu Mo, what are you acting out now?"

I quickly shook my head, tears streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks.

"No, I wasn't acting."

Jiang Yichen sneered, his tone even more sarcastic.

"Why do you only remember me when I'm about to die? Are you only now feeling guilty and wanting to make amends?"

That left me speechless.

Is it just compensation?

It doesn't seem like it is...

Seeing my silence, Jiang Yichen seemed to have received an answer.

He had a stern face and showed no mercy, "I won't give you that chance."

I froze for a few seconds, staring at him in disbelief, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yichen glanced at the maid.

I was kicked out.

I became increasingly lost and disoriented.

Just then, Ning Zhan suddenly called me.

Looking at the number displayed on the screen, I couldn't help but feel puzzled, but I still pressed the answer button.

Before I could even speak, Ning Zhan preemptively asked, "How is Jiang Yichen doing now?"

I was stunned for a few seconds, and subconsciously looked around, but found nothing.

For some reason, I always feel like people from Feiyu Entertainment are following me.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I had just left Jiang Yichen's villa and the phone rang right afterward?

Seeing that I hadn't answered for a long time, Ning Zhan became somewhat dissatisfied and asked again.

"How is Jiang Yichen now?"

My thoughts were pulled back by his voice, and I gave a vague reply: "Looks like he's about to die."

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhan burst into laughter, his tone incredibly smug.

"That's good. It seems we're almost through this difficult time."

I was too lazy to say anything more to him, so I made up an excuse and hung up the phone.

The next day.

I went to work as usual, but I always felt that the people around me were treating me strangely.

The people around me were talking and staring at me, which I found completely baffling.

I didn't do anything wrong.

But as soon as I stepped into the workspace, Lao Mo came over and led me directly to a corner.

I am even more confused.

After confirming that no one was around, Lao Mo deliberately lowered his voice and cautiously asked, "Gu Mo, did something happen between you and President Jiang?"

Old Mo never interferes in my affairs outside of work, so I was a little surprised when he suddenly brought this up today.

Without thinking, I explained, "I have nothing to do with him."

Old Mo simply nodded, reminding him earnestly, "You must remember to keep your distance from President Jiang."

"President Jiang has a fiancée, so you can't mess with him. As the company's anchor, you must pay attention to your public image."

His serious expression made me realize that things weren't so simple.

After he finished speaking, I took the initiative to ask, "What exactly happened?"

He initially didn't intend to tell me, but after my persistent questioning, he finally said, "Many photos have surfaced online, mostly of you leaving President Jiang's villa, and now there are negative comments about you everywhere."

Only after Lao Mo reminded me did I understand where those unfriendly looks from this morning came from.

I quickly took out my phone to check.

Just as Lao Mo said, the internet is full of photos of me leaving the villa.

The comments section was even more appalling.

Many people are criticizing me.

Most of the comments say that I'm incorrigible, harassing my ex-husband late at night, and so on.

I wanted to pester him, but Jiang Yichen didn't give me a chance at all.

I coldly flipped through the photos, and couldn't help but suspect Feiyu Entertainment.

Seeing that I looked unwell, Old Mo took the initiative to ask with concern, "Are you alright?"

I shook my head, turned off my phone, asked him for a temporary leave, and went straight to Feiyu Entertainment.

Ning Zhan showed no surprise at my arrival.

I sat down directly opposite him and questioned him angrily, "Why are you following me? And why are you posting those ambiguous photos online?"

Ning Zhan did not deny it, but instead said matter-of-factly, "If you are worried about the gossip from your former company, you can come directly to Feiyu in the future. You don't need to take them seriously."

Seeing his attitude, I immediately understood; they clearly didn't want to leave me any way out.

I've been tricked again.

I slammed my hand on the table, pretending to lose my temper.

"You said Feiyu needed loyal partners, so what do you mean by this? Did you ever trust me?"

Seeing my anger, Ning Zhan simply tried to appease me, saying, "This is just a helpless act to investigate more information, you have to understand me."

Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!

I didn't buy into his words at all, and made my point clear with a stern face.

"If you don't trust me, then we can simply not cooperate."

After saying that, I ignored his expression and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Ning Zhan quickly stopped me, saying, "I didn't think things through. I won't let anyone follow you again."

My relationship with Feiyu Entertainment was purely based on mutual benefit. Now that I've achieved my goal here, I'm ready to call it a day.

After leaving Feiyu, I returned to work at the company.

A barrage of judgmental gazes swept over me, as if they had long assumed that my relationship with Jiang Yichen was not innocent.

I didn't want to waste time proving myself; I just worked hard and tried every possible way to get the solution from Feiyu Entertainment.

In addition, I am also helping Jiang Yichen find a suitable doctor.

I seem very busy every day, but nothing seems to be making any progress.

My situation at the company is very awkward; everyone is deliberately excluding me from the sidelines.

But to my surprise, Sweetie didn't isolate me like the others.

She specifically sought me out and couldn't help but sigh.

"Gu Mo, regardless of whether it's true or not, I feel it's a pity for you."

I was momentarily confused and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you suspect me?"
