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

Chapter 308 I will not cooperate with you

Old Song smiled, his tone carrying a hint of confidence: "Because you also have doubts in your heart, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to see me."

I remained silent for a while, feeling conflicted. He was right; I did have doubts about Qin Yu, but that was because of the grudges behind him, not because I believed Zhou Yang's lies.

I stood up, picked up the document, and said coldly, "Thank you for your 'kindness,' but I will not cooperate with you."

Old Song's face instantly turned ugly: "Are you sure you want to side with Qin Yu? He's no good person."

I sneered and turned to leave: "At least I'm better than you guys."

Stepping out of the coffee shop, I took a deep breath, my mind a jumble of thoughts. Although I had rejected Zhou Yang's offer, the contents of those documents lingered like a thorn in my heart, impossible to remove.

I took out my phone and dialed Lin Nan's number.

"Gu Mo?" Lin Nan's voice came quickly, with a hint of concern in her tone.

"Lin Nan, there's something I want to ask you," I said directly. "How much do you know about Qin Yu?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Lin Nan said in a low voice, "Gu Mo, this matter is complicated. Qin Yu is indeed not as simple as he seems on the surface, but he has no ill intentions towards you. Jiang Yichen also knows about this; he has been protecting you in secret."

I was stunned for a moment, somewhat shocked: "Jiang Yichen? He knows about Qin Yu?"

Lin Nan sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Yes. Qin Yu and Jiang Yichen have already started cooperating after the last time in the archives. Zhou Yang's target is your husband's company; they want to use you to undermine him."

I held my phone, my mind a complete mess.

When I got home, I saw Jiang Yichen sitting on the sofa, holding a document in his hand, looking somewhat tired. He looked up at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

“You’re back,” he said softly.

I walked up to him and threw the documents I was holding onto the coffee table: "What does this mean?"

He glanced down at the document and gave a wry smile: "You knew everything?"

I stared into his eyes, my tone accusatory: "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why did you keep it from me?"

He put down the documents, reached out and took my hand, his voice low and somber: "I don't want you to get involved in this. Zhou Yang's target is me, and I don't want to drag you down with him."

I shook off his hand, feeling a pang of sadness: "But have you ever considered that I'd rather face this with you than be kept in the dark by you?"

He was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

Looking at his tired expression, my anger gradually subsided. I sat down on the sofa and asked softly, "What are you planning to do next?"

He raised his head, a cold glint in his eyes: "Zhou Yang is finished. I have evidence of his financial fraud. As long as I hand it over to the regulatory authorities, he will never be able to recover."

With mixed feelings, I asked, "So, what about you? What are your plans for dealing with those documents?"

He smiled and said casually, "Use public opinion. Whatever he does, I will do."

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the live streaming thing.

"I've been staying home these past few days. I discussed the live stream with Xu Sisi and the others today. We'll be coming to my house together from now on. Is that okay?"

"Of course, we have plenty of spare rooms that we can use. My wife's safety is the most important thing."

Jiang Yichen and I exchanged a smile.

The next day, when Xu Sisi pushed open Gu Mo's door, she was carrying a large bag of snacks and several bottles of drinks. As she changed her shoes, she called out with a smile, "Mo Mo, I'm here! We have to get everything set up properly today; the livestream room needs to look real!"

I poked my head out of the kitchen, holding a rag in my hand, and replied with a smile, "You've come at the right time. I just tidied up the living room, but I feel like something's missing."

Xu Sisi placed the snacks on the coffee table, looked around the living room, and her eyes lit up: "We can hang up that Suzhou embroidery as a backdrop, and then display a few jade ornaments. It will definitely create a great atmosphere!"

I nodded, feeling a little excited myself. Although we didn't have a dedicated live-streaming room at home, with our simple setup, a corner of the living room quickly transformed into a warm and elegant live-streaming space. We hung the Suzhou embroidery on the wall, placed a small round table below it, and put a few jade ornaments on the table. With the lights on, the whole space instantly gained a sense of quality.

"Momo, do you think this will work?" Xu Sisi adjusted the lights and turned to ask me.

I took a look and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, it feels even more cozy than a professional live streaming room."

Xu Sisi smiled smugly: "Of course, we have good taste!"

As soon as the live stream started, fans flooded in. The chat was filled with messages: greetings, praise for the setup, and curiosity about what would be showcased that day.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Mo. Today, I'm doing a live stream with my good friend Xu Sisi." I waved to the camera, my tone relaxed.

Xu Sisi came over and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Sisi! Today we're mainly going to show you some jade jewelry that Momo has designed recently, as well as the finished Suzhou embroidery from last time!"

The live chat immediately became lively:

"Momo looks great today!"

"Sisi is so cute!"

"I want to see Suzhou embroidery! Last time I only saw a half-finished product!"

I picked up a jade bracelet and showed it to the camera: "This bracelet is one of my recent designs, inspired by the window patterns in classical gardens. The jade has a very fine texture and a warm color, making it suitable for everyday wear."

Xu Sisi added from the side, "This bracelet is so beautiful, I want to secretly keep it!"

The chat was filled with laughter:

"Sisi is so cute!"

"Momo's designs are always so charming!"

"Link please! I want to buy it!"

Halfway through the live stream, a few discordant voices suddenly appeared in the chat:

"Did he cheat on you? Is it true?"

"Has Momo been cheated on?"

"Stop pretending, we all know!"

I glanced at the comments and felt a slight pang in my heart, but I maintained my smile. Xu Sisi had obviously seen the comments too; she frowned and was about to speak when I gently pressed her hand down.

"Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Wen and I are fine." I said calmly, picked up a photo from the table and showed it to the camera. "This is a photo we took a few days ago. He's been very busy with work lately, but he still made time to accompany me to the art exhibition."

In the photo, Mr. Wen and I are standing side by side in front of an oil painting. He is looking at me with a gentle gaze. The live stream immediately flooded with comments saying "So sweet," but a few haters still wouldn't let it go:

"Was that staged?"

"What are you pretending to be so loving for? Everyone knows that President Wen is having an affair."
