The driver responded and drove away.

When Gu Yue looked again, she found that her driver had been replaced long ago. Her own driver was sitting in the passenger seat, and the person in the driver's seat was Lao Song.

Old Song drove Gao Mengting to the hotel where she was staying.

Originally Gu Yue also lived here, but for some unknown reason she moved out early.

Seeing that they had arrived at the destination, Gao Mengting still did not get off the car.

"Why, Miss Gao, are you reluctant to go down? Xiaoli and I are in a hurry to go on a date. You don't want to delay us, do you?"

"You're in this car, and the smell is really unbearable."

Gao Mengting was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't refute Yan Mofei. She didn't want to offend Yan Mofei, so she could only get out of the car in her high heels.

After the car drove away, Gao Mengting said angrily: "Damn Yan Mofei, if you weren't from the Yan Group, would I tolerate you like this?"

She took out her cell phone again and sent a message to Gu Yue.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll expose you."

Yan Mofei read out this message in public, which made Gu Yue in the car sway.

She was clearly watching very carefully and on guard, so from Yan Mofei's perspective she shouldn't have been able to see it.

Yan Mofei indeed didn't see it, but he was capable. He could see whatever he wanted. A mere mobile phone couldn't stop him.

"Why, does Gao Mengting have something on you?"

Gu Yue's face was pale, but she stubbornly did not respond.

Yan Mofei continued to talk to himself: "Since you don't say it, then I will guess it myself."

"I think she has a video of you? Maybe one where you were stripped naked?"

Gu Yue's body trembled, and she looked at Yan Mofei in disbelief. But then she realized what she was doing and quickly turned her head away.

Yan Mofei simply sat in the front seat, where the smell of Gao Mengting's perfume still lingered, so he had to open the window to ventilate.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoli has always been by her side, and fortunately, Yang Xiaoli is not the kind of person who would sniff around to check on someone's affairs, otherwise, if it were a married man, smelling of perfume like this, it would be hard to explain.

The wind blew away the scent of perfume in the car, and Yan Mofei felt much more comfortable.

"Don't avoid it. You're the one who's going to shoot a commercial with me. If you're deliberately delaying the progress, you're also wasting my time."

Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said coldly, "You can change people."

"Why, are you ready to pay the penalty?"

Gu Yue still gritted her teeth, but her face turned a little paler and her eyes were slightly red.

"From what I understand, the company you signed with didn't share the profits fairly."

"Most of the money you earned went to the company. The little you have left is not only used to run your own team, but also to pay for your parents' illness. Can you still afford the penalty?"

"Even if you are willing, will your company also be willing?"

"If you resist, you will be frozen out. Will your parents ever wake up?"

Gu Yue's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she was trying hard to hold them back.

A big part of the reason why I entered the entertainment industry was to make more money to treat my parents' illnesses.

Unexpectedly, the company hid a trap in her contract and took away most of her money. She could only grit her teeth, take on more work, and work harder to climb the ladder, which is how she got her current top position.

She just wants to take good care of her parents and hopes that they can wake up one day.

Ten years ago, her parents sent her to college, but she was hit by a car next to her. The accident was very tragic and most of the people in the car died on the spot.

She was saved by her parents who desperately protected her, but her parents were seriously injured and became vegetative. They both lay in the hospital and never woke up again.

She dropped out of school and worked multiple jobs to earn money to save her parents, and she also incurred debts to save her parents.

She would hate herself if all her efforts failed because of a breach of contract.

The doctor said that her parents' minds have become more active recently and there are signs that they are about to wake up.

She can't cut off her source of income.

But no matter how hard she tried to endure, she never expected to meet Gao Mengting, to be discovered by her identity, and to be threatened by her.

When Gu Yue raised her head again, her face was already covered with tears. She tried to control herself, but she couldn't.

"No, I can't break the contract."

"That's not my decision. Anyway, Zhang Pei and I still approve of you, but we're not satisfied with your performance today."

"If you continue like this, it's only a matter of time before you're held accountable for breach of contract."

Gu Yuewei stood up and knelt down in front of Yan Mofei.

"I'm at my wit's end. I don't know what to do."

She struggled all night, but couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties. She knew she couldn't miss this ad, but Gao Mengting had something that could ruin her reputation.

She thought of delaying it for a while and then finding a way to solve it.

But before she could think it through, Gao Mengting came again, and Yan Mofei and Yang Xiaoli were also with her.

"Then just tell me. If you don't, I don't know how to help you."

Yang Xiaoli helped her up and considerately took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Sister Gu Yue, my boss is very good. He is smart and capable, and he will definitely be able to help you."

Yang Xiaoli's smile is innocent and romantic, which makes her the one that Gu Yue envies the most.

"Thanks."

The car stopped at a quiet place, and Gu Yue slowly recounted the grudge between herself and Gao Mengting.

"Gao Mengting and I went to the same high school. Back then, she was a wealthy lady, surrounded by several followers every day."

"I just come from an ordinary family. I don't know how I offended her. One day, she suddenly slapped me..."

Gu Yue used to be a person who allowed others to manipulate her, being well-behaved, gentle and easy to talk to. Although her family was not wealthy, she was loved and cherished by her parents.

She didn't know why Gao Mengting bullied her, but Gao Mengting became even more aggressive after that incident.

He also threatened her that if she dared to complain, he would have his parents dismiss her parents from their jobs and they would never be able to find a job.

Gu Yue endured Gao Mengting's instigation and humiliation, but let herself fall into darkness.

She had her hair pulled, had cigarette burns on her body, was forced into the toilet, beaten, scolded, mocked...

Finally, they poured a bucket of water over her head, stripped her clothes off, and took photos and videos.

After that incident, her parents took her to another school. During the transfer, they were involved in a car accident and never woke up again.

The person who started it all is still living happily and carefree, and is even still using that video to threaten her to withdraw from the filming of this advertisement.

"She said if I didn't quit, she would spread the video and ruin my reputation completely!"
