Chapter 46: Standing by and watching

sudden death?

How could such a wonderful thing happen to me?

I raised my head and looked him in the eye, shook my head and refused, saying stubbornly, "It's my own choice as to when to broadcast. It has nothing to do with you."

Seeing me like this, Jiang Yichen also had some guesses in his mind, and asked in a slow tone, "What happened?"

For some reason, I felt a little aggrieved and sarcastic.

"What does it have to do with you? Don't you just want to see me in trouble?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned subconsciously, as if he was very dissatisfied.

Thinking of my brother, I continued, "Stop pretending. Even when something happened to me, didn't you just stand by and watch?"

Jiang Yichen was annoyed by me and said mercilessly, "Don't you have connections and means? When Gu Bai got into trouble, didn't you solve it easily?"

Before I could refute, Jiang Yichen added another sentence.

"In your heart, Song Le is your first choice."

Hearing this, I felt very complicated.

He seemed jealous, but also seemed to be mocking me.

I really couldn't tell what the man in front of me was thinking.

But I don't want to argue with him too much.

Just then, a rapid cell phone ring interrupted the conversation.

It's my mom calling.

I have a bad feeling.

I couldn't help but get nervous, and my hands holding the phone were shaking slightly.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, my mother's crying voice came from the receiver.

"Momo, please come back soon, something happened to your dad."

As soon as these words came out, I felt my brain buzzing.

I tried my best to stay calm. "Mom, what's going on? Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly."

My mother sobbed and replied, "Your father wanted to jump off the building, and no one could stop him."

My face changed and I couldn't help but raise my voice a few degrees.

"What? I'll be home soon."

I immediately hung up the phone, closed the live broadcast room and left.

Seeing my strange expression, Jiang Yichen offered to take me back.

I originally wanted to refuse, but I was too worried about my dad, so I had to agree and hurry home.

As soon as I arrived at my neighborhood, I saw my father on the rooftop.

He cried and shouted, saying sorry to me and sorry to the Gu family.

I hurried upstairs.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes gradually became subtle, and he followed me to the rooftop.

At this time, my father was standing on the edge of the roof and my mother didn't dare to go forward.

My mother tried to persuade me with kind words, but unfortunately it had no effect.

Whenever she took a step closer, my dad's reaction would be particularly intense.

Seeing my dad looking like he was trying to commit suicide, I was so worried that I took the initiative to persuade him, "Dad, come down first. We can talk about it if there is anything."

But when he saw me, he became even more upset.

Jiang Yichen came up behind me, and when my mother saw him, she looked like she had found a life-saving straw.

Regardless of her own embarrassment, she rolled and crawled to Jiang Yichen and spoke almost beggingly.

"Yichen, please help us help the Gu family."

When Jiang Yichen heard this, it was unclear what emotion was in his eyes.

I don't want to owe him a favor.

I immediately stopped him, "Mom, we don't need his help with Gu's family affairs."

The matter of Gu family's bankruptcy has not been clarified yet, and I don't want Jiang Yichen to be involved.

When my mother heard what I said, her expression became increasingly complicated.

Our conversation seemed to attract my dad's attention, and he looked straight at us.

My brother, who was standing nearby, instantly seized the opportunity, rushed over, and pulled him from the edge.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yichen looked at our family and finally said in a deep voice, "I can help you, but you have to look after Gu Mo."

There was something ambiguous in his eyes as he said this.

I knew very well that he was hinting at me.

He just wants me to continue being his lover.

He really humiliates me all the time.

I was so angry that I asked him, "Jiang Yichen, they always say that I've let you down. Have you never done anything to let me down from the beginning to the end?"

After hearing what I said, Jiang Yichen's eyes instantly turned cold and he sneered.

"Then tell me, what did I do to you?"

I was getting angrier and angrier, so I continued, "You know better than me whether I did it or not. God is watching what we do."

There was some anger in Jiang Yichen's eyes, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to me, so he turned around and left.

Looking at his decisive back as he walked away, I felt a little dissatisfied, but I didn't intend to keep him.

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, my mother immediately realized that something was wrong.

After the others walked away, she asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Momo, did Jiang Yichen bully you?"

But that's all based on my speculation, I don't have any evidence yet.

I shook my head and said nothing.

My mother's eyes were filled with worry. "Momo, no matter what happens, we will face it together as a family."

"Mom, let's go down first. It's getting late."

Just when the two of us were in a stalemate, my brother suddenly spoke up, intending to change the subject.

My mother didn't hesitate any more and left with us.

The next day.

The story of my father borrowing high-interest loans and wanting to jump off a building was filmed and uploaded to the Internet.

Those journalists' headlines were particularly ugly.

The comments section was full of ridicule towards me and our family.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I felt the malice coming from all directions.

They looked at me with mocking eyes and looked down on our family from the bottom of their hearts.

I've long been accustomed to their contempt.

This kind of gaze has been present in my life ever since my family went bankrupt.

But so what? I'm still alive and well. At most people will just talk about me.

I thought I could get away with it if I just kept quiet.

But I didn't expect that Xiaoyu was a restless person. She just wanted to show off in front of me.

When I was about to go upstairs to the studio to live broadcast, Xiaoyu decisively blocked my way. Her tone was full of sarcasm, and she looked at me with contempt, "Gu Mo, your family owes so much money, and your father is about to jump off the building. How can you still come to work with peace of mind? If I were you, I wouldn't dare to come out."

Hearing this, I raised my head slightly and said indifferently, "My family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Get out of the way. I still have to work."

Seeing my reaction, Xiaoyu was immediately dissatisfied and continued to attack me, "You are really shameless, and you still think of yourself as the eldest lady you used to be?"

As she spoke, she pushed me hard, as if she wanted to teach me a lesson.

I lost my balance for a moment, missed the step, and fell backwards.

When Brother Zhang saw that I was about to fall, he instinctively reached out to support me.

But before he could touch me, his hand was pulled back by Xiaoyu, "You dare?"
