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

Chapter 133 Stop pretending to be confused.

After hanging up the phone, my worries grew like wildfire, and I felt that the current situation concealed unknown dangers.

So I quickly changed into casual clothes, picked up my phone, and decided to take immediate action.

Gu Bai was standing by the water dispenser in the kitchen, drinking water. He suddenly saw me getting ready to leave, frowned, and asked in a somewhat cold tone, "Where are you going so late?"

"I have something urgent to take care of, I'll be right back," I replied, while busy putting on my shoes.

Since there were no shops selling surveillance equipment near my home, I had to go to a place quite far away to buy two surveillance cameras.

By the time I got back to my front door with the bag, the clock had already quietly struck eight.

However, faced with the monitor in my hands, I was at a loss and didn't know where to start installing it.

Just then, the sound of me pacing back and forth startled Gu Bai inside the house.

He opened the door and saw me standing there hesitantly. A look of surprise crossed his face, and he asked with a furrowed brow, "Why aren't you home in the middle of the night? What are you doing standing here?"

I held up the surveillance camera in my hand, pointed to the pile of garbage next to me, and explained earnestly, "I plan to install surveillance cameras so that we can know who throws garbage in front of our house."

Gu Bai glanced at me, then looked up at the height of the ceiling, seemingly understanding my intention.

He silently took the monitor from my hand, then turned and went back into the house: "I'm going back to get the ladder."

In no time, Gu Bai had installed the surveillance cameras inside and outside the house.

I couldn't wait to take out my phone and test it. Looking at the crystal-clear surveillance footage outside the door, I nodded in satisfaction: "Now I can rest assured."

Back in my bedroom, I had barely sat down when I received a text message from Qin Lei.

He told me that he had obtained evidence from the phone and would be able to file a lawsuit soon.

This good news was like a shot in the arm, giving my anxious heart a bit of comfort.

The next morning, I set off for school as usual, still thinking about Hongyu.

Suddenly, a furious shout came from behind: "Stop right there!"

I turned around in confusion, only to see Song Yuan running towards me with an angry expression. As soon as she got to me, she loudly questioned me, "Why can't you just let my brother go?"

I was stunned for a moment, completely baffled.

I haven't seen Song Le for a long time. He's almost faded from my memory. If it weren't for the fact that she and Jiang Yichen keep appearing in front of me, I might have really forgotten that he existed.

I replied coldly, "I don't understand what you're saying."

After I finished speaking, I turned to leave, but he suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Stop playing dumb with me! If it weren't for you, how could my brother have refused the blind date arranged by the family?" Song Yuan's voice was full of anger.

Faced with her unreasonable questioning, I felt helpless: "Song Le is a thoughtful and opinionated person. His refusal to go on blind dates is his own decision. What does it have to do with me?"

Song Yuan became even more domineering: "If you hadn't bewitched my brother, how could he have made my father sick over such a trivial matter?"

Her claims are getting increasingly outrageous; she's trying to pin the blame on me for her brother's refusal to go on blind dates.

I reiterated, "I didn't! Please move aside, I need to go to class."

However, Song Yuan seemed to have gone mad, holding me tightly and saying, "Don't go! If you don't explain this clearly today, I won't let you leave."

I struggled and tried to pry his fingers off. I finally managed to break free and backed away.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuan seemed to have lost her mind and suddenly pushed me to the ground.

My hands were on the ground, my palms were sore from the rough sand, and the skin was even chafed.

Just then, Song Yuan raised her hand again, ready to make a move, when a roar suddenly rang out, interrupting her action.

We looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Yichen striding over.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yichen's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

Song Yuan was clearly wary of Jiang Yichen. She subconsciously took two steps back, but still pointed at me and cursed loudly, "This bitch is two-timing you! Mr. Jiang, you'd better open your eyes and take a good look! She's seducing you on one hand, and on the other hand, she's not letting my brother go!"

After saying that, Song Yuan left angrily.

Jiang Yichen stepped forward and helped me up. When he saw the injury on my hand, his brows furrowed.

He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, wiped the sand off my hands, and gently blew on them.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten Song Yuan's words, and asked me with a gloomy expression, "Is what he said true?"

A surge of resentment welled up inside me. I was clearly the victim, being repeatedly slandered and defamed. What was most infuriating was that Jiang Yichen didn't even believe me.

I angrily tried to shake off Jiang Yichen's hand, but to my surprise, he gripped it even tighter.

My wrist was squeezed so hard it hurt, and it even made a "crunching" sound. The wound on my palm was also burning with pain.

"Jiang Yichen, you're hurting me!" I couldn't help but shout.

Jiang Yichen stared at me coldly and questioned me again, "I'm asking you, is what he said true?"

I glared at him, my heart filled with a mixture of grievance and anger. I retorted, "Is it true or not? Can't you see for yourself? Why are you asking me?"

We were at an impasse because of this. I refused to admit my mistake, while he seemed to be waiting for me to give a satisfactory answer.

However, at that moment, someone's appearance broke the deadlock.

The principal seemed to have learned of Jiang Yichen's arrival through some channel. He ran over with a smile and greeted Jiang Yichen warmly.

"President Jiang, I've heard so much about you! Today I'm finally able to meet you in person," the principal said warmly.

Then, he turned his gaze to me and said with even greater enthusiasm, "Thank you so much, Xiao Gu, for thinking of the school and everyone else by inviting President Jiang over."

I was getting a little dizzy. When did I invite Jiang Yichen over? I was about to open my mouth to explain, but the principal was too excited and wouldn't listen to me at all. He grabbed Jiang Yichen and tried to take him to the principal's office.

“President Jiang, it’s not convenient here with so many people coming and going. Let’s go to the office to talk. Xiao Gu, please come along too,” the principal said warmly.

"Principal, I..." I was about to speak when the principal interrupted me.

He turned to Jiang Yichen and began enthusiastically introducing the school: "Mr. Jiang, look at that building over there, it's newly built, it's your investment. I truly thank you on behalf of all the teachers and students! That's the library, but..."
