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

Chapter 225 Missing

"Hey Gu Mo! It seems your character isn't so great either; even Yi Chen doesn't believe you."

The only person who seemed most pleased with herself was probably the older woman. She scoffed, thinking that Jiang Yichen's inquiry about amniocentesis meant he didn't trust her.

As for her, since there was a rift in my relationship with Jiang Yichen, she was on the same side as me.

Seeing that Jiang Yichen remained silent, she became even bolder.

"Sigh, if you ask me, what's the use of a good-looking face if the heart is bad? No matter how good-looking you are, it's useless."

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Yichen turned around, raised his hand in the air, but hesitated to bring it down.

Reason and madness were constantly tug-of-war in his mind.

The woman collapsed to the ground in fear, too terrified to utter another sound.

"Yichen, Momo."

Grandma, who had fully recovered, called the two of them over.

Jiang Yichen glared at the old lady and then walked to the large sofa.

Once the person who had intimidated her left, the older woman dared to stand up and flee as if she were escaping.

Even as he left, he muttered to himself, "What's so fashionable about it? In the end, I still have to choose between career and women."

Jiang Yichen and I had no intention of arguing with her; we were only thinking about Grandma's health.

Grandma put our hands together and gently patted the back of my hand.

"You two are husband and wife, people who will spend the rest of your lives together. What misunderstanding can't be cleared up behind closed doors? Listen to me, go upstairs and clear things up."

I was not convinced. Although Grandma did not misunderstand me, I still felt that if I backed down, it would be Jiang Yichen looking down on me.

"Grandma, I've done nothing wrong, so why should I be shut out? It's just that some people are up to no good."

Jiang Yichen was so angry he laughed. He glanced at the wound on my face, and his arrogance almost vanished.

"The Jiang family shareholders have all heard about Zhao Ning's situation and are trying their best to obstruct our marriage. So I need to find evidence to stabilize the situation and silence the gossip. Momo, we've been through so much together, how could I not trust you?"

I understood what Jiang Yichen was saying. Not to mention him, even I myself wanted to find evidence to prove my innocence; I'm sure he felt the same way.

If I continue to stay in the Jiang family now, it will definitely affect Jiang Yichen's authority within the Jiang clan.

Before Zhao Ning's matter was resolved, there were many people who thought I was a femme fatale.

I can't cause them any trouble.

“Jiang Yichen, what do you mean by all this? Anyway, it’s a done deal that you’re making me have an amniocentesis, and it’s deeply affecting my mood and the baby. The doctor said I can’t afford to get emotional right now, so I’ll go home for the next few days.”

"No, you have to be careful right now. If you don't agree, we'll think of another way. I'm not going to do the amniocentesis."

“No,” I retorted. “I know I need to have an amniocentesis; it’s the only way to prove my innocence. But Yichen, I’m so tired.”

Jiang Yichen wanted to say something more, but his grandmother interrupted him: "Momo wants to go back to her parents' home, so let her go back and rest well."

Grandma is such a smart person; she saw through my thoughts at a glance.

There was no excessive comfort, just compliance with my wishes.

A warm feeling welled up inside me; even my own grandmother might not have been as good to me as she was.

Since his grandmother had spoken, Jiang Yichen couldn't say anything to persuade her to stay. He could only make a last-ditch effort: "Then don't lose contact with me. I'll go crazy if I can't reach you."

His eyes were a little red, and if his grandmother hadn't been there, I think his face would have turned red too.

Jiang Yichen is becoming increasingly oblivious to people around him; he can say anything with the elderly around.

"Okay, I promise you." I quickly agreed.

"Then I'll take it to you."

"No need," I quickly refused.

Although Jiang Yichen threatened the reporters not to report recklessly, who knows where they might be staking out? If someone takes a picture and posts it, I'm really doomed.

Jiang Yichen agreed to let me walk home slowly on my own. Along the way, I felt someone following me until I safely reached my apartment building.

They are his people.

Jiang Yichen is always like this, doing so many things for me quietly.

It often makes me feel guilty, because I haven't given enough in this relationship.

Thinking back to Lin Nan bowing and apologizing to me today, I still feel that Jiang Yichen is the perfect match for someone like Lin Nan.

If it weren't for me, they would probably be married by now and be the couple everyone admires.

Instead of being with a troublemaker like me, we can't even live a normal life together.

But since we've chosen to be together, we should face any difficulties together.

It seems I need to have a talk with Zhao Ning.

Meanwhile, the farce in the Jiang family also came to an end because of my departure, until Jiang's father returned in the evening.

As soon as Jiang's father returned, he questioned the male protagonist with a grim expression.

"Is the child in Gu Mo's belly actually from the Jiang family? Reporters have been calling me all day! Look at what you've done to the Jiang family for a woman!"

Jiang Yichen calmly crossed his legs, a stark contrast to his father's furious expression.

“Gu Mo is my woman. Anyone who targets her is targeting me, and targeting me is targeting the Jiang family. Instead of questioning me, you should ask yourself how many enemies the Jiang family has made over the years.”

"You!" Jiang's father slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You dare to talk back to me for a woman, Jiang Yichen? Do you really think the Jiang family has no one left but you as the sole heir?!"

"Shut up!" Grandma tapped her cane.

As the elder in the family, her words still carry a certain authority.

However, she is quite old and never gets involved in the family business.

"Momo is the granddaughter-in-law I've chosen. Do you have a problem with me now?"

"That's not what I meant, Mom."

Jiang's father, unable to argue with the younger generation and too afraid to speak up for the older generation, was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.

Jiang Yichen didn't want to see his father in a difficult position, so he offered a way out, saying, "I trust Momo. I will handle this matter properly, so don't worry."

Mr. Jiang snorted coldly, not wanting to make things difficult for his son, and only reminded him, "Trust is useless; the shareholders look at the evidence. The Jiang family's business must never fall into the hands of others!"

Jiang Yichen didn't listen to him finish speaking. His phone vibrated, and after glancing at it, he went upstairs on his own.

"That brat!" Jiang's father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Oh dear, the child has grown up, why do you care so much!" Grandma advised from the side.

Jiang Yichen closed the door to the master bedroom, blocking out the outside world. No one was waiting for him, and he was too lazy to turn on the light.

Before Jiang Yichen could even speak, an anxious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Jiang, something terrible has happened! Miss Gu has gone missing!"
