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

Chapter 194 Wishes Come True

I was shocked to hear this and looked at Song Le in disbelief: "What did you say? The Gu family's bankruptcy is related to Jiang Yichen?"

Song Le nodded, his expression grave: "That's right. The reason the Gu family went bankrupt was because a major project ran into trouble. And that project is now being pursued by the Jiang family. Doesn't that prove everything?"

I was stunned, and a sense of foreboding welled up inside me.

I frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have solid evidence?"

“One of my recent project partners accidentally let slip during a drinking session that in the early stages of negotiations for this project, the Jiang Group and the Gu Group were competing. Just when the contract was about to be signed, the Gu Group suddenly revealed serious internal business problems and faced investigation and closure. How do you explain that?”

I left Song's Company in a daze, wandering aimlessly along the way.

On the way back to his neighborhood, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Jiang Yichen's grandmother.

I answered the phone, listening absentmindedly to my grandmother's words: "Momo! Do you have time? Can you come and see Grandma? Grandma is so bored in the hospital."

Hearing my grandmother's voice, my wandering thoughts quickly returned, and I gently replied, "Okay, Grandma, I'll be right there."

Without saying a word, I rushed to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, we saw Grandma lying in bed receiving an IV drip. The maid had gone out to buy things for Grandma and hadn't returned yet.

Grandma looked a little weak, and no one was there to take care of her when she wanted to drink water.

I quickly went over to give Grandma some water and chatted with her to keep her company.

Not long after, Jiang Yichen arrived as well.

When he saw me, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "What are you doing here?"

I briefly explained my grandmother's situation, and Jiang Yichen looked at me with a complicated expression after listening.

We didn't say much, we just stayed by Grandma's side silently until she finished her IV drip and the maid returned.

After hearing what we said, Grandma pretended to be angry and said to Jiang Yichen, "Look, my granddaughter-in-law is the most reliable. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't even be able to get a drink of water when I'm thirsty. Unlike you, my own grandson, you're always busy and don't know how to care about your grandma."

Jiang Yichen wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled and coaxed his grandmother, "Grandma, you're wronging me. I've just been busy with work, but since you like me so much, I'll spend more time with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma's face immediately lit up with a smile: "That's more like it. But, Grandma is so bored staying in the hospital, I want to go home. You two, come and stay with Grandma at the Jiang family's house, that way I can see you every day."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned slightly, clearly hesitant. I guessed he was worried that I wouldn't be used to living there after returning, since my aunt always made things difficult for me. But before he could speak, I preemptively agreed to my grandmother: "Okay, Grandma, I'll go back to the Jiang family home with you."

Jiang Yichen looked at me with surprise, his eyes filled with doubt.

I pretended not to understand his gaze and asked him instead, "What, don't you want to go home and be with Grandma?"

Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly and could only agree: "Alright, since Grandma has said so, what else can I say? But you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself when you go back and not make Grandma worry."

I smiled and nodded, but secretly I was thinking: this trip back to the Jiang family home might give me the opportunity to find out the truth about some things, such as whether the Gu family's bankruptcy was related to Jiang Yichen. In any case, I had to get justice for myself and my family.

Inside the villa, I was busy packing my luggage, preparing to move back to the Jiang family home. Just then, Jiang Yichen walked in, looked at my busy figure, and asked, "Why did you agree to move back to the Jiang family home?"

I stopped what I was doing, looked up at him, and smiled, saying, "I just want to make Grandma happy. She must be lonely at home all by herself. If we spend more time with her, she will feel comforted."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen remained silent for a moment, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing and silently began to help me pack my luggage.

Soon we were all packed up and drove to the Jiang family's house.

Grandma was already waiting for us at home. When she saw me, a happy smile lit up her face, and she took my hand and asked me how I was doing.

When the older woman saw me, her face instantly darkened, and she began to mock me in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, isn't this the Gu family's daughter? What, you're finally willing to come back to the Jiang family? I thought you were so arrogant."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Grandma's face immediately darkened, and she sternly reprimanded her, "How can you talk like that? Momo is my granddaughter-in-law. She's willing to come back and stay with me; you should be happy. Stop being so sarcastic all the time; it's annoying to watch."

The older woman was left speechless after being scolded by her grandmother, and could only glare angrily.

I smiled and looked at my grandmother, thanking her for standing up for me. I knew that in the Jiang family, my grandmother was my strongest support.

That night, Jiang Yichen and I were assigned to share a room.

I felt a little awkward, and mustered up my courage to ask him, "Can we sleep in separate rooms?"

Jiang Yichen looked at me with a slightly amused smile: "What's wrong? You were so eager to come back and stay, but now you're backing down?"

I quickly explained, "No, I just felt... that the fact that we're sharing a room might cause Lin Nan to misunderstand."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed with amusement. He approached me step by step and asked, "What misunderstanding? Do you think we'd sleep together?"

I was caught off guard by his question and stammered, unable to give a clear answer.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen suddenly pulled me close to his chest and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "If this is what you're worried about, then you don't need to. I know what I'm doing and won't let anyone misunderstand our relationship."

I felt Jiang Yichen's presence wash over me, and my heart started racing.

I knew I should break free from his embrace, but I felt powerless at that moment. Finally, I mustered my courage, gently pushed him away, and said, "I know you know your limits, but... I still hope we can keep a proper distance."

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your opinion. Let's leave it at that for tonight. You should get some rest."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the sofa by the bed, intending to spend the night there.

As I watched his retreating figure, I felt a mix of emotions.

In my panic, I yelled at Jiang Yichen to let go of me, but he tightened his grip even more, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery: "Grandma has always wanted a great-grandson. Since you care so much about Grandma, shouldn't you fulfill her wish?"
