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

Chapter 132 You Won't Help Me at All

I calmly replied, "Whether I've been lazy or not, you can see for yourself by carefully reviewing the contract. If you cannot provide me with a reasonable and convincing explanation, then I have the right to take this matter to court and demand the cancellation of this obviously problematic contract."

My tone was firm and forceful, revealing an unquestionable resolve.

The HR looked at me, a hint of surprise and unease flashing in her eyes, but she still tried to maintain her stance firmly.

"Okay, then we'll see you in court."

I responded to the HR's provocation without backing down. Since he didn't want to let me leave, there was no need for me to waste my breath arguing with him.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, a loud, arrogant laugh came from the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Yu stood at the door with a smug look on his face.

I frowned, my mind filled with confusion and bewilderment. I couldn't understand why he was targeting me like this.

However, my mouth acted faster than my brain, asking, "We have no grudge against each other, so why are you always targeting me?"

Hong Yu didn't answer my question directly. Instead, he rubbed his hands together and said with a wicked smile, "This isn't my fault. You delivered yourself to my doorstep."

His words carried a hint of mockery and smugness, and I suddenly realized that it was all because I had submitted my resume myself. I could only blame my bad luck and the twist of fate that brought us together.

He walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and smiled even more broadly: "You'd better stay here obediently, otherwise the penalty for breach of contract alone could kill you."

His tone was full of threats and intimidation, but I was not intimidated.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, even though my heart was already churning.

But I stubbornly replied, "We'll see."

Hong Yu didn't seem to care about my tough attitude and still tried to appease me with words: "Work hard. As long as you listen to me, you will still have a lot of room for development in the future."

With my back to him, I listened to his rosy vision of the future, and found it utterly ridiculous.

What real development can I achieve by learning from someone like Xiaoyu?

I ignored his "pie in the sky" and strode away.

As I passed by Xiaoyu's live stream room, I heard him shout my name loudly, telling me to go get the stand.

I pretended not to hear and continued striding forward.

Along the way, I was relieved that I did not encounter any obstacles. Just when I was secretly pleased that I was about to escape this sea of ​​suffering, I unexpectedly ran into Lin and Jiang Yichen at the entrance of the building.

I hurriedly covered my face, trying to avoid them, but Jiang Yichen's eyes were too sharp, and he saw me at a glance.

He called my name menacingly and demanded, "Gu Mo, what are you doing here?"

I stopped in my tracks, stunned, as countless possible explanations flashed through my mind. Finally, my gaze fell on a billboard in the distance, and an idea suddenly struck me.

I slowly turned around, looked at Jiang Yichen guiltily, and said, "I'm here to buy books."

Jiang Yichen was clearly puzzled by this explanation: "Where is the book?"

I pointed to the bookstore billboard not far away and said casually, "The book I wanted to buy wasn't in this bookstore, so I didn't buy it."

Jiang Yichen's icy gaze seemed to pierce through my heart. I buried my head deep in my chest, afraid that he would see through my disguise.

His scrutinizing gaze made me tremble with fear, but fortunately Lin Nan glanced at the time and urged, "President Zhai is still waiting for us."

Jiang Yichen then glanced at me briefly before quickly leaving with Lin Nan.

I clutched my chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly fled the building.

I thought the matter was over, but to my surprise, I received many threatening text messages that night.

And they were all internet phone numbers; I gritted my teeth and guessed who did it.

Unfortunately, I have no evidence, so I have no way to deal with the other party.

Just as I was annoyed by this, I heard Gu Bai cursing outside the door. He angrily cursed, "Which bastard did this, throwing trash in front of my house?"

I pushed open the door and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Gu Bai pointed to the trash by the door and said angrily, "I wonder which scoundrel threw this here. I better not catch him, or I'll teach him a lesson!"

In a daze, I remembered the home address I filled in when I applied for the job, and I immediately panicked.

Gu Bai noticed my unusual expression, frowned, and looked at me with a puzzled expression, asking, "What's wrong? You don't look well."

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my inner turmoil.

"No...it's nothing. I'm probably just tired from work lately and haven't been getting enough rest. I'll go and rest now."

I made up some excuse and hurriedly sent a message to Qin Lei after returning to my room.

Could you help me prepare a lawsuit against Hongyu's media company?

However, Qin Lei did not reply immediately. Instead, Jiang Yichen suddenly called, which startled me so much that my phone slipped from my hands and fell onto the bed.

I frantically picked up my phone and answered the call.

When do you start work?

A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

I frowned and stammered, "I still have some things to take care of at school these few days, I'll be back at work in a few days."

I don't know how many days it will take to resolve this media company matter, and I don't dare to tell Jiang Yichen a specific time.

But Jiang Yichen's next question terrified me.

What books did you buy today?

"Didn't I already say? No, so I didn't buy it."

"Is it that you didn't go there, or did you never even go to that bookstore?"

"How could that be... Why would I lie to you?"

I choked on my own words, suddenly realizing that Jiang Yichen might have already discovered my lie.

My heart was racing, and my palms started to sweat.

"That bookstore is under renovation and isn't even open yet. What kind of books would you buy there?"

Jiang Yichen's voice was deep and powerful, each word striking my heart like a hammer.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but my voice was still trembling: "I... I was just passing by, and when I saw the billboard I thought it was open, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment, then said, "Gu Mo, I hope you will be honest with me. You know the consequences of lying to me."

I quickly replied, "I know, I know."

"Anyway, don't worry about it. I'll go back to work after I'm done."

What are you dealing with?

I was startled and realized that I had almost said the wrong thing.

However, to cover up my guilty conscience, I said angrily, "Even if you knew, you would only scold me and wouldn't help me at all."

Afraid he would press me for details, I quickly hung up the phone.
