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

Chapter 118 I Didn't Treat Him as a Backup Plan

After I've taken care of these things for them, I'll go back and rest.

When I'm not in class, I take time to go to the company to do live streams.

As soon as Little Sweetie saw me, she quietly pulled me to the tea room.

She said to me mysteriously, "Gu Mo, do you know? The company is going to shoot a promotional video, and it's being shot by President Jiang and Lin Nan themselves."

As she spoke, Little Sweetie showed me the promotional photos on her phone.

It was only then that I noticed the formal wear they were wearing was the very dresses I had helped them choose that day.

At that moment, I realized that what Lin Nan said that day was clearly meant to provoke me.

When I got off work, I suddenly received a message from Song Le.

Song Le probably learned about my recent situation through Song Yuan.

He, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time, actually took the initiative to contact me.

I was somewhat surprised when I saw the message he sent.

Song Le wants to treat me to dinner.

Upon learning his purpose, I refused without even thinking.

Thinking of Jiang Yichen's past threats, I didn't want to implicate him.

Seeing that I refused, Song Le did not insist further.

But just when I thought he had given up, he suddenly appeared at the entrance of my company.

When I saw him, I thought it was my imagination.

Once I realized he was really coming, I wanted to hide without even thinking.

But before I could leave, Song Le spotted me.

But I deliberately avoided him, and he didn't get angry. He walked over in a few steps.

"Gu Mo, where are you going?"

The voice came from behind me, and I was too embarrassed to keep running away, so I had no choice but to face it head-on.

I made up a lame excuse on the spot.

"I left my things at the company, I'll go back and look for them."

Seeing that I was lying, Song Le didn't expose me; instead, she smiled and continued talking.

"Really? Then I'll accompany you."

Before I could even refuse, he walked right up to my side.

I couldn't refuse him, so I could only let him stay by my side.

In order to avoid giving him away, I had no choice but to go back to the workroom and grab the USB drive.

After I finished taking them, Song Le revealed the purpose of my visit.

"Gu Mo, are you free today? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

I initially wanted to refuse, but thinking that he would definitely keep pestering me, I agreed anyway.

Song Le took me to a restaurant near our company.

As soon as I sat down, I saw a familiar figure walking towards us from outside.

When Song Yuan suddenly appeared, I immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

Song Yuan walked straight over, and her face immediately fell when she saw me.

She voiced her dissatisfaction and questioned Song Le.

"Brother, didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? Why is she here too?"

As soon as he said that, I knew that Song Leyou had arranged this dinner.

Song Le gently persuaded Song Yuan to sit down.

"You go first, I also have something I want to say to both of you."

Song Yuan's face clearly showed her reluctance, but she didn't try to save face for Song Le in public.

She sat across from me, her eyes filled with disdain.

I instinctively put my hand under the table, and I couldn't help but tense up.

I don't know what the purpose of sending it was, but from the moment Song Yuan appeared, I knew that things wouldn't be simple.

Ignoring our feelings, Song Le immediately tried to smooth things over, intentionally trying to reconcile us.

“Yuanyuan, I know you have some misunderstandings about Gu Mo, but no matter what, the Gu family and the Song family used to be friends. I hope you will not do anything excessive in the future.”

Before Song Yuan could reply, Song Le apologized to me on her behalf.

"I'm sorry, Gu Mo. Yuan Yuan was also spoiled by her family when she was young, so it's inevitable that she has a temper. I hope you can forgive her."

Song Yuan's face fell even more, and she crossed her arms and refused without even thinking.

"It's absolutely impossible to get back together with her, brother. Don't forget what she did back then."

Faced with the sudden accusations, I knew I was in the wrong and could only remain silent.

Even so, Song Yuan did not intend to give up.

She vented her emotions all at once.

"Brother, she was the one who proposed breaking off the engagement first. She abandoned you, so why are you still speaking up for her now?"

Seeing Song Yuan bring up old grievances, Song Le was also furious and subconsciously scolded her.

"What's done is done. Why bring it up now? Don't throw a childish tantrum all the time."

Song Yuan was instantly enraged and retorted furiously.

"I think you're completely bewitched. Only someone like her would be interested in you."

Seeing the two siblings arguing because of me, I felt a little embarrassed.

I want to offer some advice, but I don't know who to advise.

After thinking for a while, I sighed slightly and sincerely apologized to Song Yuan.

"I'm sorry, I was willful back then, which is why I hurt your brother."

Upon hearing my apology, Song Yuan's face showed a hint of disbelief.

Ignoring her emotions, I continued to explain, "Song Le and I are friends now. It's not like what you think, that I'm keeping him as a backup option."

After my explanation, Song Yuan's attitude softened.

And just then.

Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan also came to this restaurant.

I never expected such a coincidence to happen, and I don't know how to deal with it.

Before I could even react, Lin Nan was already beside me.

She looked me and Song Le up at her with an expression of anticipation.

A moment later, she made a sarcastic remark.

"Gu Mo, have you found someone else so quickly?"

As soon as Lin Nan said these words, Jiang Yichen and Song Le's expressions changed instantly.

I denied it almost instinctively.

"Nothing is not as you think."

Unfortunately, my explanation had no effect whatsoever.

Lin Nan gave him an "I understand" look and spoke again.

"I understand. Congratulations in advance."

Seeing her misunderstanding, I couldn't wait to explain.

"It's not what you think. Song Le and I are just friends."

As soon as I said these words, a hint of disappointment appeared in Song Le's eyes.

But Jiang Yichen quickly chimed in, letting out a cold snort, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"Gu Mo, you really have a lot of friends."

Then, his words carried a hint of threat.

"Don't forget who gave you everything you have now? Don't do things you shouldn't do."

Seeing that he misunderstood me like that, I felt a surge of sadness, but I still instinctively tried to explain.

Believe it or not, we're just friends.

Jiang Yichen looked me up and down, his voice gradually turning cold.

"Gu Mo, as a live streamer in our company, you should always be mindful of your words and actions. What do you mean by having dinner with men outside?"

Jiang Yichen's words were harsh, and Song Le couldn't stand it either, directly speaking up to refute me.

"Does that mean Gu Mo can only interact with you? She's a person, not your object."

But the next second, Jiang Yichen showed an expression of taking it for granted and continued.

"Everything she has now is given to her by me, so I naturally have the right to make the decisions."

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense.
