At eighteen, Gu Miaomiao was arrogant and domineering, trampling Jiang Yanbai's self-esteem and treating him like a dog.
At twenty-five, Gu Miaomiao knelt on the ground, humiliatingly col...
Chapter 42 Don’t fall down no matter what!
This woman's voice...why does it sound familiar?
I seem to have heard it somewhere.
Without time to think about it, Jiang Yan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.
Jiang Yanbai opened his eyes and subconsciously looked to his side, but it was empty.
The woman had indeed left.
Jiang Yanbai changed his clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw Lin Qing standing in front of Gu Miaomiao with his head lowered, looking like he was about to cry.
Jiang Yanbai walked over quickly.
"What happened?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't even look at him, sneered, grabbed a dress on the sofa, and threw it heavily at Lin Qing.
"Don't you just want to go to the press conference?"
"Okay. Then you wear this outfit!"
"I'll let you go!"
Lin Qing trembled as she spread out the wrinkled dress, tears streaming down her face.
"Brother Yanbai, I really mean no harm. My eldest daughter has delicate skin, and I was worried she'd get an allergic reaction from wearing new clothes, so I asked Aunt Wang to help wash them. How did I know the dress would shrink so much?"
"This dress can't cover anything now. If I were to wear it outside, would I still have the face to live?"
Jiang Yanbai's brows knitted even tighter, his eyes fixed on Gu Miaomiao.
He strode over, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in front of him.
"Gu Miaomiao, put down your Missy's airs. How many times do I have to say this!"
Gu Miaomiao sneered and shook off his hand.
Her palms felt numb, and she pinched her wrists.
But he was too lazy to waste words with them, so he just picked up the cup of milk on the table and poured it directly into Jiang Yanbai's face.
"I think it's you who should wake up! You know how important today's press conference is to me. She's unqualified, yet you're trying to snatch my spot, and you're using such a despicable trick!"
The milk slid down the man's handsome face, and his eyes instantly became gloomy.
Gu Miaomiao snorted coldly, grabbed a glass of water next to her and raised it towards Lin Qing.
"Since you said you didn't know, then you should wake up!"
The water splashed out into the air and was blocked by Jiang Yanbai's horizontal arm.
The cold liquid soaked his shirt, but he didn't even frown.
He just stared at Gu Miaomiao, his dark eyes full of displeasure.
Lin Qing screamed and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe Jiang Yanbai's cheek.
"Brother Yanbai, look at the eldest daughter. She is so naive. How can she be independent with such a personality?"
Jiang Yanbai ignored Lin Qing and grabbed Gu Miaomiao who wanted to leave, holding her tightly in his arms and not allowing her to break free.
"You made a mistake and want to run away? No way!"
Gu Miaomiao tried her best to resist, but she couldn't break free. She could only reach out and grab Lin Qing, who was standing beside her, gloating over her misfortune, and drag her to the floor.
With a dull thud, Lin Qing fell to the ground, crying sincerely.
"Brother Yanbai, my legs hurt so much..."
Jiang Yan opened his thin white lips slightly and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"I'll teach her a lesson for you right now!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already dragged Gu Miaomiao towards the stairs.
"Let me go, you lunatic!"
Gu Miaomiao saw the bedroom door and wanted to struggle, but Jiang Yanbai pushed her in.
She stumbled and fell to the ground, and before she could get up, the man pushed her back to her original position.
Jiang Yanbai picked up the whip and whipped her slender arm.
"You're getting bolder and bolder. Do you think no one can stop you?"
His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes were cold.
"Looks like you should be imprisoned so you can learn some rules!"
Gu Miaomiao clenched her teeth, the red marks on her arms burning with pain.
She stood up, her back straight.
"Jiang Yanbai, could you please stop going crazy? It's going to start in an hour, and I have to be there!"
The man looked down at her and whipped her on the side of her waist, causing her skin to hurt.
He lowered his head and looked down: "Don't think that it won't work without you. Qingqing can still do it!"
Is someone like Lin Qing worthy of this?
Gu Miaomiao stared at him intently, her eyes red, but she stubbornly refused to cry.
"This is my hard work. Why would you give her the chance?"
Jiang Yanbai sneered, swung the whip on the floor, and looked sinister.
"It's because you're so disobedient! If you make trouble again, you'll never be able to leave this door again!"
This bastard is completely unreasonable when he gets mad. Now he even dares to stop the most important press conference. Who the hell is she?
Prisoner or pet?
Gu Miaomiao misstepped and was about to rush out, but Jiang Yanbai was faster.
He stepped back and slammed the door.
The door trembled and she pounded on it with her fists.
"Jiang Yanbai! Let me out!"
The only response she received was the sound of footsteps gradually receding.
Gu Miaomiao rushed to the window and saw Jiang Yanbai and Lin Qing got into the car together. The black car sped away.
Sure enough, he really dared to bring Lin Qing to replace him.
This scene was played out thoroughly.
My chest felt so constricted that I couldn't breathe. This feeling of powerlessness was a hundred times more painful than the whipping just now.
If Lin Qing steals the limelight today, all the grievances she suffered while staying with Jiang Yanbai will be in vain.
The ringing of her cell phone brought her back to reality.
The screen flickered, it was a call from Wu Yiran.
"Ms. Gu, are you here? Ms. Lin said that Mr. Wang is starting to urge us."
His knuckles turned white as he held the phone. He wouldn't allow anyone to wait and see her make a fool of herself, and he certainly couldn't let Wu Yiran panic and lose her composure.
"We're almost there. You calm down first. I'll be there soon. Feel free to contact me if anything else."
His tone was calm, without any hesitation or wavering.
Don't fall down no matter what!
Wu Yiran's anxious voice came from the other side.
"There's something wrong with my dress... The hem is suddenly unraveling. It looks like someone tampered with it. Can you help me pick out a new one when you come?"
Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble and wants to take advantage of it?
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get there. I'm here for everything and won't let you embarrass yourself or be embarrassed in the slightest. Whoever is causing this, they won't be able to get away with it!"
After hanging up the phone, she slammed the door again.
"Auntie Wang! Open the door! This press conference is very important to me. If we delay for even a minute, it will be a loss for the entire company! Open the door quickly!"
There was silence outside the house for a moment, and then some footsteps approached and stopped.
A blurry shadow cast into the gap of the bedroom made one's heart stop.
As long as Wang Ma is willing to give in, there is still a chance to reverse the situation.
"As long as you let me out, I will definitely explain everything to him and won't let Jiang Yan blame you for nothing!"
A low sigh from Wang Ma came from outside the door.
"Ms. Gu, don't waste your energy. Mr. Jiang has instructed that no one can let you out. He also asked you to write a letter of apology to Miss Qingqing."
The paper was stuffed into the crack of the door, with a wrinkled corner sticking out on the floor.
"Boss Jiang said there's a pen in the room and he wants to see your letter when he comes back."
