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

Chapter 215 Don’t blame me for being rude

Hearing Lao Mo's words, Jiang Yichen did feel a little flustered.

He drove straight back to the Jiang family home before even getting off work. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to shout Gu Mo's name loudly, hoping that Gu Mo would respond to him immediately.

He ran upstairs to the bedroom, the study, and even every corner, but he couldn't find Gu Mo anywhere.

Jiang Yichen's expression grew increasingly grim, and his unease intensified.

Just then, Grandma heard Jiang Yichen's voice and came upstairs, puzzled, asking, "Why are you back at this hour? Didn't Momo go to work with you this morning? It's not time to get off work yet, how could she be back?"

Not wanting his grandmother to worry, Jiang Yichen made up an excuse: "Oh, I forgot. She asked me to come back to get some things, and I thought she had come back first. I've already got my things, and I'll leave now."

After saying that, Jiang Yichen hurriedly left the Jiang family, but he didn't actually go to work. Instead, he drove to the Gu family.

He knocked gently on the door, praying in his heart that Gu Mo would be there.

When Gu's parents saw Jiang Yichen arrive, they were visibly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why are you here at this time? Where is Gu Mo?"

They looked behind Jiang Yichen but didn't see me, so they asked curiously, "Didn't Gu Mo come with you? Where is she?"

Looking at their expectant eyes, Jiang Yichen felt even more flustered. He didn't know how to answer and could only stammer, "I...I don't know either. I came to find her to ask if she has gone home."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gu's expressions turned serious, as if they sensed that something bad was about to happen.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Mr. Gu asked, his face dark with displeasure. "Doesn't she work at your company? How could you not know where she is?"

Gu Bai frowned, looking at Jiang Yichen with a mocking expression, and said, "You didn't anger Gu Mo again, did you? Is that why you can't find her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen sneered and said, "Heh, she's always the one who makes me angry. How could I dare to make her angry?"

However, Gu's mother had no interest in listening to their argument.

She said urgently, "Everyone's gone, and you still have the nerve to argue here? Hurry up and go look for them!"

Gu's mother's words surprised both Jiang Yichen and Gu Bai.

They realized that finding Gu Mo was the most important thing now, not arguing here. So, Jiang Yichen and Gu Bai immediately sprang into action, splitting up to search for my whereabouts.

Jiang Yichen and the Gu family searched for Gu Mo all night, but unfortunately, they couldn't find any trace of her.

The next day, Gu Mo still didn't go to work, which made Jiang Yichen even more anxious and uneasy.

He tried to find Gu Mo at the school, but to no avail.

Jiang Yichen began frantically calling and texting Gu Mo, his tone gradually shifting from initial tension and worry to anger and questioning.

"Gu Mo, why did you leave? Do you know how worried I was about you?" Jiang Yichen questioned in the message.

However, Gu Mo did not respond to his message.

This made Jiang Yichen even angrier and more out of control. He began to threaten Gu Mo: "Gu Mo, if you don't come back, don't blame me for being rude to the Gu family!"

At Shen Yan's home, I gripped my phone tightly, looking at the messages Jiang Yichen had sent, feeling a growing sense of unease.

I know Jiang Yichen's personality; he's a man of his word. I couldn't help but start worrying about my family's safety.

Shen Yan noticed my anxiety. She gently patted my shoulder and comforted me tenderly, "Gu Mo, don't worry too much. Jiang Yichen isn't the kind of person who's truly ruthless. He said those things just to force you to show yourself. Once you're settled, I'll find a way to bring your parents over too, so you won't have to worry so much."

"This matter still needs careful consideration. If I really don't show up, I'm afraid Jiang Yichen might actually do it."

I know Jiang Yichen too well.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether my parents will be able to come with me.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

I know that the most important thing now is to stay rational and calm, and not to be swayed by Jiang Yichen's emotions.

I need to think carefully about my next steps, how to settle myself down, and how to protect the safety of my family.

I was deep in thought when my phone rang, interrupting my train of thought.

When I saw that it was Gu Bai calling, I hesitated and didn't want to answer, but then I thought that my parents might be overly worried about my disappearance, so I answered the phone anyway.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Gu Bai's anxious voice: "Gu Mo, where are you? Do you know how frantic your family is looking for you!"

I bit my lower lip, trying hard to keep my voice from trembling. My eyes were slightly red, and I forced myself to answer, "I'm fine. Tell your parents that I'm doing well and safe. I just want to settle things with Jiang Yichen and resolve our issues."

After I said that, Gu Bai remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

I could sense his worry and helplessness, but he finally agreed: "Okay, take good care of yourself. Contact me anytime if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath and felt my mood calm down a bit.

Jiang Yichen was already waiting at the entrance of Shen Yan's company, his face showing both anxiety and determination.

When Shen Yan appeared, he immediately pressed her for details about Gu Mo's whereabouts.

Shen Yan blinked innocently, feigning ignorance, and said, "Jiang Yichen, how did you lose Gu Mo? This has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes sharpened even more. He stared intently at Shen Yan and said, "Shen Yan, stop pretending. Gu Mo is your best friend; you must know about her. Tell me, where is she?"

Shen Yan shook her head and insisted, "I really don't know anything. Jiang Yichen, stop being unreasonable."

As she spoke, she tried to walk past Jiang Yichen into the company.

However, Jiang Yichen stopped her abruptly, his tone carrying an undeniable threat: "Shen Yan, how long do you think you can hide her? I'm warning you, if anything happens to Gu Mo, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

Shen Yan stopped and turned around to look at Jiang Yichen, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Jiang Yichen had lost his mind, but she also understood that she couldn't easily reveal Gu Mo's whereabouts.

“Jiang Yichen, even if I knew, do you really think I would betray my friend?” Shen Yan retorted. “Gu Mo has her own plans and choices, and you should respect her. If you really care about her, you should try to understand her, instead of interrogating me here.”
