Chapter 32: Working for Debts

My body froze, and just as I was about to explain, he was called away by a few people not far away.

I couldn't understand why Liang Xiaorou didn't tell the truth, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you say that?"

Liang Xiaorou didn't care at all and even pretended to be thinking about me.

"Gu Mo, don't you see where we are? I can't tell others that you came to work for me to pay off your debt because you ate a free meal."

She spoke with confidence, but I was speechless.

Who made me have no money?

Who made me offend those people in the past?

This was not the end. Liang Xiaorou also took me around to greet people and kept introducing my past identity to others.

Faced with other people's strange looks, I felt like a monkey in a zoo, embarrassed and at a loss.

Throughout the banquet hall, people who knew my identity were whispering.

"Gu Mo was Mr. Jiang's ex-wife, right? I heard she wasn't a very good person. She deserves what she has suffered now."

"She deserves it. It's retribution for her to be like this now."

"It is said that Gu Mo has abused President Jiang a lot in the past."

Everyone in the field was discussing my past relationship with Jiang Yichen unscrupulously.

I didn't want to stay any longer, so I said I wanted to leave.

But Liang Xiaorou's face fell instantly, and she looked very dissatisfied, "You are working to pay off your debts. How can an employee leave before the boss leaves?"

Her words just shut me up.

I had no choice but to follow her.

Soon, some people came towards us. They were the ones who usually played with Liang Xiaorou.

"Xiao Rou, I haven't seen you for a few days. Come and have a drink."

Liang Xiaorou glanced at me, and I immediately took the glass and said with a smile, "I'll help her drink it."

After saying that, I drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, the group of people seemed a little surprised as if they had just seen me.

Then a mocking and sarcastic voice was heard.

"Xiao Rou is great. She even asked the eldest daughter of the Gu family to come and block the wine for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately echoed them.

"Where is the eldest daughter of the Gu family now? You must be drunk."

I lowered my head and pretended not to hear.

These are the second generation of rich people who like to hang out together and party every night. I can't afford to offend them.

Seeing that I kept silent, the group of people became more playful.

The man standing in front of me took another glass of wine and handed it to me, teasing me deliberately.

"Miss Gu, since you are here to drink, you must be able to drink a lot. A glass of red wine costs one thousand. I will give you as much as you drink today."

At this moment, my self-esteem was shattered.

Although I have long been accustomed to being humiliated, my heart still aches when I hear these words.

I didn't answer.

I know these people's thoughts very well. They said they wanted to give me money, but they really wanted to get me drunk.

Until Liang Xiaorou's indifferent eyes fell on me, "Drink."

I couldn't refuse.

With this start, others continued to increase their stakes.

As I drank glass after glass of red wine, my consciousness gradually became a little fuzzy.

I can't drink any more.

I wanted to escape, but Liang Xiaorou grabbed my arm tightly and forced me to continue.

I seriously suspect that these are all people she hired just to embarrass me.

Until my legs began to feel weak and I could hardly stand, I tactfully pushed back the red wine glass that was against my face.

I pinched my painful solar plexus and said, "I can't drink anymore. I won't drink anymore."

Liang Xiaorou just thought I was spoiling her fun and rolled her eyes at me.

Someone pointed at my nose and cursed, "Gu Mo, do you still think you are the rich girl you used to be? You are dressed like this, aren't you just trying to hook up with a rich guy? What are you talking about now?"

As he spoke, the man came forward, touched my arm and was about to put his arm around my shoulders. I quickly took a few steps back to distance myself from him.

His obscene eyes were fixed on me, "The Gu family has been bankrupt for a long time, they have no money! You still think you are a nobody! Hahaha!"

Then he pulled me into his arms.

Suddenly, people around started to make a noise.

I struggled hard, but the man held my wrist tightly.

He was very strong and I couldn't get rid of him.

I was already dizzy, and when I tried to resist, I accidentally bumped into his chest.

At this moment, a cold and solemn voice sounded from the side.

"Gu Mo."

It’s Jiang Yichen.

Meeting his indifferent gaze, I was startled and stood up straight quickly.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, his gaze fell on my hands, and then he uttered a few cold words.

"Are you so mean?"

Hearing this, I instantly became more sober.

My heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle, and I whispered, "Is that how you see me?"

Jiang Yichen exuded a chill all over his body. He didn't say anything else and forcibly pulled me away.

He stuffed me into the car, his eyes dark, "I've only been away for a few minutes, and you're already eager to find a sponsor?"

He held my arm tightly, his face so dark that water seemed to drip out of it.

The force was so strong, as if it was taking revenge on me.

I wanted to explain, but the next second, he held my chin tightly and whispered, "Since you can't live without men, why don't you come to me?"

My body stiffened for a moment, and I suddenly felt very sad.

Ever since the Gu family went bankrupt, I have become the target of public criticism.

Everything that happened today was planned by Liang Xiaorou. I knew nothing about it before attending the banquet.

A feeling of grievance suddenly surged into my heart, and I suddenly felt powerless.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he just thought I was in the wrong and his face became even darker.

There was a fierce look in those eyes.

He waved his hand and tore off my clothes.

At this moment, all emotions gathered in my heart.

I couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him.

"Jiang Yichen!"

Tears welled up in my eyes and hit the back of my hand, burning hot.

"You two come and bully me!"

"All of you look down on me! You were with me before only for the Gu family's money!"

"Now that the Gu family is defeated and I have no money, I am despised by the entire Tongcheng! I deserve it!"

I screamed like a mad dog.

"Jiang Yichen, you are rich now, so what? You only believe what you see."

"You think you are God? Whatever you say is true! You are just a conceited and arrogant man!"

All along, I have been careful to hide my emotions when facing his humiliation, but now I don’t want to endure it anymore.

Why should I let him manipulate me?

Yes, I owe him, but I am also a living person and I have my own dignity.

At this moment, I just feel happy.

I looked up and met his eyes. For some reason, there seemed to be an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

His voice suddenly became gentle, "Gu Mo, you've had too much to drink. I'll take you home."

But once I started saying some things, I just couldn't stop. I don't know where I got the courage from, but I just refused coldly.

"Don't touch me!"

Jiang Yichen didn't give me a chance to resist and started the car.

I don't know where I got the strength from, I patted his body randomly, "I want to get off the car!"

Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he braked. I swayed and almost bumped into him. He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes, his deep eyes carrying a hint of obscure emotions, "Gu Mo, stop it."

The voice was not as cold as before, but rather very pleasant to the ear, and I immediately calmed down.

All the way in silence.

When I woke up, it was already daybreak.

But what about this luxurious chandelier in front of me?

I was startled and quickly sat up, only to find that this was Jiang Yichen's villa.

I lifted the quilt and saw that my clothes were intact, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly remembering that Lin Nan was already living with Jiang Yichen, I quickly got out of bed and opened the door carefully.

In the past, Jiang Yichen was not in the villa at this time, but Lin Nan...

I looked around until I was sure there was no one there, then I quickly went downstairs and fled.

Just as I walked out of the villa, I heard Lin Nan's voice behind me, "What was that noise just now?"

I trembled and immediately ran to the corner and hid.

Fortunately, Lin Nan just took a look at the door and did not pursue the matter.

After leaving the villa, I went to the company. Lao Mo hurriedly found me and said, "Gu Mo, Xiaoyu has come forward to clarify the previous public opinion on the Internet. Your reputation has improved a lot."

When I learned about this, I was a little surprised.

After all, Xiaoyu's attitude was very firm at the time, and she obviously had no intention of apologizing to me.

I quickly logged onto the social platform and found the video.

Xiaoyu specifically brought up this matter and explained it during the live broadcast yesterday.

In addition, a special apology statement was issued, including my account.

I looked at the live broadcast time, and it was just after Jiang Yichen took me away from the banquet.
