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

Chapter 139 I am measured

After saying that, I turned around and went upstairs without looking back, leaving Jiang Yichen alone downstairs.

When I got home, I had just opened the door when my mother mysteriously pulled me aside.

"Oh dear, where did you and Jiang Yichen go? Why are you back so late?" Mom asked with a gossipy look on her face.

I rolled my eyes in exasperation, wondering how the topic had swung back to Jiang Yichen again.

"Mom, can you please stop doing this every time? We just went out for a meal."

At this moment, Dad turned around from the window and interjected, "I see Jiang Yichen is still downstairs. He must be reluctant to part with our daughter."

"I think so too, what do you think?"

"I'm tired, I want to sleep." I dragged my weary body toward the bedroom.

My parents started discussing it back and forth, insisting that Jiang Yichen still had feelings for me, and began to dream about their future together.

"I think Jiang Yichen is a good kid. Although there were some misunderstandings before, it seems he still cares about our daughter," the mother said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, and he’s very successful now. If our daughter marries him, she’ll definitely enjoy a good life,” the father chimed in.

As I listened to my parents' fantasies, I felt a headache coming on. I stood at the door and looked back at them.

"Stop, stop, stop. You two, stop overthinking. Let's think about what to eat for breakfast tomorrow."

As soon as I got back to my room, Gu Bai brought me a cup of hot milk and placed it on my desk.

He looked at me with a hint of worry in his eyes. "I heard from my parents that Jiang Yichen is not the same Jiang Yichen as before. Have you thought it through?"

Gu Bai offered a tactful reminder.

I sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

“I have nothing to do with him anymore. Now I just want to focus on my career.”

"In that case, you need to be careful about your boundaries when you're interacting with him."

I looked at Gu Bai gratefully and nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Right now, I just want to focus on my work and shoot more and better commercials."

Only after my repeated assurances did Gu Bai leave with peace of mind.

next day

I went back to the company to shoot an advertisement.

Zhao Ning was holding two cups of hot coffee. She handed me one: "Would you like some coffee?"

"Thank you." Thinking about what happened last night, I felt quite embarrassed. After taking the coffee, I stammered, "Yesterday..."

"What happened yesterday?" Zhao Ning winked at me and smiled knowingly.

I laughed too, and didn't say anything more.

"Drink up quickly, we'll discuss it later and see how to film today."

I took a couple of sips, put the coffee aside, picked up the script, and went over it with him to study the movements. To my surprise, we worked together very well.

At this moment, Lin Nan came over to check the progress. Seeing us huddled together, her expression darkened slightly: "Gu Mo, focus on your work and stop bothering others."

Knowing that Lin Nan was a leader, Zhao Ning didn't dare to say anything.

I quickly explained, "Mr. Lin, I'm working, I'm not bothering anyone."

But Lin Nan wouldn't listen, and said sarcastically, "If you affect the filming schedule, I'll settle the score with you!"

He left after saying that, and I was speechless.

Seeing that Lin Nan was not nice to me, and remembering that Jiang Yichen had also come to find fault with me yesterday, the others assumed that I was not well-liked and started to treat me badly as well.

"Gu Mo, tidy up that prop."

I had just finished cleaning up when the assistant director called me again: "The ground over there is dirty, go and clean it up."

"Gu Mo, go buy some coffee."

“Gu Mo…”

I didn't pay attention at first, but then I realized something was wrong.

I threw down what I was holding and angrily asked the assistant director, "These tasks weren't mine to do, so why am I being made to do them?"

The assistant director said sternly, "If you don't want to work, then leave. Boss Lin said we can't affect the filming schedule, so you can't refuse."

I got angry as soon as I heard that and said, "If this is deliberately targeting me, then I won't film it."

Zhao Ning quickly came over to persuade her: "It's alright, newcomers always have to be bullied a little, everyone goes through this."

I said, "No, we can't let this kind of trend continue."

I left the studio immediately, feeling resentful and aggrieved.

My action immediately panicked the assistant director, because it meant that the day's filming schedule would not be able to proceed as planned.

After I left, the assistant director hurriedly ran to report the situation to the director.

But during the report, he not only embellished the story but also distorted the truth, insisting that I refused to film because I was being arrogant.

"Director, Gu Mo has no reputation whatsoever, yet she's already throwing her weight around. Who would dare to use her!"

The director frowned upon hearing this.

"She seemed to get along well with everyone yesterday, and she behaved quite well. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“Absolutely right, she was faking it all yesterday,” the assistant director insisted.

Zhao Ning, standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and was about to tell the truth, "Director, it's not like that..."

"Zhao Ning, what are you doing here instead of studying the script?" the assistant director warned him coldly, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Zhao Ning hesitated, then lowered his head in resignation and chose to remain silent.

"The assistant director is right. Gu Mo was faking it all yesterday, but she's showing her true colors today."

"I also saw her deliberately break the props."

"And he even talked back to President Lin!"

……

They kept arguing about this and that, assuming I wasn't there and couldn't defend myself, and they were eager to accuse me of a heinous crime.

Unfortunately, when I came back to retrieve my things, I overheard everything they said.

Just as I was about to go over and explain, I heard the director say, "Okay, I'll go talk to General Manager Lin and see what to do. You all continue with your usual routines."

I backed down. Anyway, it was Lin Nan who caused the trouble, so let her have a headache!

Soon I was called to Lin Nan's office.

I knocked on the door and went inside.

Lin Nan, her face dark with displeasure, questioned, "When Gu Mo chose you for the shoot, what guarantees did you make? And look at what you've done now?"

"You say you can work properly, is this your work attitude? You're delaying the filming schedule, causing everyone to be unable to finish their work?"

I listened quietly as she berated me. After she stopped talking, I asked indifferently, "Are you done? Can I explain now?"

"It's not that I didn't work hard, but the assistant director never let me film anything; he just made me do odd jobs the whole time."

"You can disobey his orders, but you can't stop filming without permission."

Lin Nan slammed his hand on the table and reprimanded her sternly.

I bit my lower lip, looking at her with resentment.

The atmosphere became tense.

"This was my oversight, and the assistant director also made mistakes. I will make sure to rectify the situation when I get back," the director said, trying to smooth things over.

Then, he looked at me and said in a friendly manner, "Gu Mo, come back with me and continue filming."

"it is good."
