Because she was addicted

The internet was buzzing throughout the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Gu Nan's name went from being unknown to being almost a household name. Even Liu Cuie inquired about her from Wen Jia.

"Jiajia, I heard that this Gu Nan works for your company? Do you know her?"

Wen Jia coaxed Ruoruo to play.

"Auntie, there are so many people in our company, I don't know everyone."

Liu Cuie clicked her tongue in disapproval.

"Jiajia, how can a woman be so shameless? She's such a pretty girl, how could she... Tsk tsk tsk, did you see that old man? Bald, big belly, greasy all over, how could anyone bring themselves to kiss him?"

This refers to Li Guanghan.

Wen Jia casually replied, "Who knows what she's thinking?"

"You're a good girl, so you don't understand. Women like them rely on their youth and beauty. Once they hook up with a rich guy, they're like leeches, clinging to him and not stopping until they've squeezed him dry."

As Liu Cuie spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Wen Lin outside the door.

Ruoruo cried twice, and Wenjia picked her up.

"Ruoruo misses her mom, right? Come on, Auntie will take you to find her."

Liu Cuie was still scrolling through her phone, talking to herself.

"This woman is really something, she's hooked up with all sorts of rich guys—scions of wealthy families, CEOs of listed companies, senior executives, tsk tsk tsk, even high-ranking government officials. Isn't she just like a public bus…?"

Gu Nan's scandalous affairs with various celebrities in Haicheng have dominated the headlines for days.

The person who leaked the information seemed to be taking a test, releasing information precisely on time every day, one story per day, with the male protagonist changing every day, and no two stories repeated for seven consecutive days.

The whistleblower updates the news every night at 8 PM sharp, and also announces that there will be more the next day.

Looking at those negative reports, Wen Jia felt that the sky over Haicheng must be covered with dark clouds.

Haicheng at this time.

Gu Nan smashed everything she could in the house to pieces. Her hair was a mess, her makeup was ruined, but she didn't care. She turned around, rushed to the sofa, knelt down with a thud, hugged Shen Yu's knees, and cried:

"Ah Yu, none of that is real, it's all fake. With internet technology so advanced these days, they can easily swap my face onto someone else's body. Really, I swear, I absolutely did not do any of these things."

Shen Yu slumped on the sofa, looking as if he were shrouded in dark clouds.

His hair was disheveled, his beard unkempt, and his shirt was wrinkled and unkempt. He raised his foot and kicked Gu Nan away.

"Get the hell away from me, you filthy thing."

Gu Nan collapsed to the ground, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Shen Yu.

"Ayu, please believe me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yu raised his hand and flicked the crystal lamp next to him to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Believe you? I've believed you time and time again, but you're not worth it at all. You said you loved me, but after you came with me, you still messed around outside, with so many other people..."

Shen Yu's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Gu Nan, you are absolutely disgusting."

Gu Nan cried so hard she could barely breathe.

"Ah Yu, it's really not easy for me to be in this position. The pressure is so great every day, and I have no choice but to complete the public relations tasks. Ah Yu, I'm doing all this for you. If I hadn't helped you smooth things over with everyone, how could you have secured this position?"

"Don't make excuses for your despicable behavior, and don't blame me. Gu Nan, I never forced you to do that; it was all your own wishful thinking."

"Ah Yu, even if you look down on me, at least think of the child... Ah!"

Before Gu Nan could finish speaking, Shen Yu raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

"Children? How dare you mention children?"

As he spoke, he opened his phone, found a photo, and threw it on the carpet in front of Gu Nan. It was a diagnosis report from Haicheng Hospital.

Gu Nan glanced at it in her hand, and her face turned pale.

"Gu Nan, do you think you can hold me back with a fake pregnancy certificate? If you can forge something, you should be prepared for me to find out."

Shen Yu closed his eyes in anger.

"My dad just called me and started yelling at me. He asked me what kind of girlfriend I had. My mom also yelled at me, saying that even if I really were pregnant, the Shen family wouldn't acknowledge me, let alone a fake one."

Shen Yu snatched the phone from Gu Nan's hand, wiped it on the sofa as if it were dirty, grabbed his clothes, stood up, and walked straight out.

"Ayu!"

Gu Nan screamed in anguish.

"Please, for the sake of our past acquaintance, could you please save me?"

She knelt on the ground and begged.

Shen Yu didn't turn his head.

save?

He's barely able to save himself, so how can he be saved?

Who knows if he'll be the next male protagonist to be exposed?

The phone rang; it was Shen Yu's father.

Shen Yu: "Dad."

"Where are you?"

Shen Yu: "I just came from Gu Nan's house."

"You're still entangled with her? What's wrong with you? Get your ass back home right now!"

Shen Yu's father is the deputy director of the Haicheng Housing and Construction Bureau. With this connection, Shen Yu has been doing very well in the M Group. Even during the year or so of power transition between Fu Huaishen and Lin Xiao, when the group was in turmoil, no one dared to really touch him.

Shen Yu was used to being spoiled.

Only now did he truly understand what fear was.

"Dad, I've already made things clear with her, we've broken up. Dad, who is this person with such power, exposing so much dirt on us overnight?"

The person on the other end sighed deeply.

"Don't ask, I don't know either. But Gu Nan is definitely going to die this time. Son, if this doesn't stop, not only you, but I'll be dead too."

Shen Yu was annoyed and irritable.

"Dad, whoever he is, can't you find him?"

The person on the other end instantly erupted in fury, "You fucking think I'm the Jade Emperor, able to control everything?! I'm just the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, and a deputy one at that! Who the hell am I in terms of seniority? This time, even the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction got dragged into this mess; he was just taken away from his home by the disciplinary committee. If I get dragged into this because of you, I'll break your legs!"

Shen Yu fell silent.

The person on the other end held their temper for a good ten seconds before finally speaking:

"You better think this through, kid. Did Gu Nan offend someone? Before your name gets exposed, hurry up and figure something out."

The other end of the phone slammed down.

Shen Yu punched the wall.

This wave is clearly aimed at Gu Nan; every man who has had a relationship with her is being exposed one by one.

To say I offended someone?

Shen Yu immediately thought of Lu Chenyan.

The video of Lu Chenyan proposing to Tang Ning at Fu Huaishen's wedding was found by Gu Nan through her connections in England, and she played it while serving as a bridesmaid. Other videos and photos were also collected and edited by Gu Nan.

Lu Chenyan and Wen Jia's current situation is entirely Gu Nan's fault.

Shen Yu quickly found Wen Jia on his phone and made a call.
