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

Chapter 161 The broom star

But since he was already here and saw me come in, I couldn't leave anymore. So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in, pretending to be calm as I asked, "President Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "I heard you went to help Zhao Ning with her live stream today?"

I nodded and explained, "Yes, he just started broadcasting independently and was a little nervous, so I went over to check on him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen snorted coldly: "You really are a kind-hearted person. However, I hope you understand what your main task is right now."

Upon hearing this, my heart tightened; I knew that this stingy fellow was just nitpicking.

My anger flared up again, and I retorted angrily, "Jiang Yichen, you have a problem with your own thinking, that's why you think so badly of others! I was just showing concern for him as a colleague and a former partner. Why are you so suspicious?"

Jiang Yichen didn't seem to listen to my explanation; he only heard me say that he had a problem with his thinking.

He stood up, moved closer to me, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure: "You say there's something wrong with my thinking? Then tell me, where is there something wrong with my thinking?"

I looked at him without flinching and said, "You do nothing but stare at me all day, waiting for me to make a mistake so you can humiliate me. Isn't that a problem with your thinking? As the president of a company, shouldn't you be focusing your energy on the company's development?"

Jiang Yichen was speechless for a moment after what I said. He glared at me, but for some reason, he didn't leave.

Just as I was racking my brains trying to figure it out, Jiang Yichen said in a cold voice, "Grandma is sick. Come back with me after get off work to see her."

Upon hearing this, I immediately became anxious and quickly asked, "Grandma, where do you feel unwell? Is it serious?"

My eyes were full of concern. My grandmother has always been a family member in my heart, and I still care about her health.

I was planning to find an excuse to visit my grandmother after I finished this busy period, but I didn't expect her to fall ill.

Jiang Yichen sighed and said, "It's an old ailment. It's hard to say how serious it is, but Grandma keeps talking about you and wants you to go back and see her."

After saying that, he left. His grandmother was getting old and had many minor ailments.

After hearing that, I was restless all day, and even seemed a little distracted during the live broadcast.

When Zhao Ning requested to connect for a PK battle during the live stream, I could only barely cope and was completely unable to concentrate.

After the broadcast ended, Zhao Ning came over to check on me. He looked at my somewhat haggard face and asked, "You don't seem to be in good shape today. Is something wrong?"

Before I could answer, Jiang Yichen had already walked over and said briefly, "Go home."

I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't explain much. I just grabbed my bag and left with Jiang Yichen.

Zhao Ning looked at my hurried departure with a blank expression. He turned to Lao Mo and asked, "Did President Jiang just ask Gu Mo to go home with him?"

Old Mo shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing.

Seeing Zhao Ning's confused expression, he shook his head helplessly and comforted her, "Don't worry, they're probably going the same way. You should go back and rest early too."

Jiang Yichen led me back to the villa in a hurry. As soon as we crossed the threshold, Jiang Yichen's aunt blocked my way with a displeased expression.

"You can't go in!" the woman said firmly, her eyes full of hostility.

Jiang Yichen frowned, glared at her, and commanded in an icy tone, "Get out of the way!"

Although the older woman shifted her body to the side, she remained unforgiving, glaring at me fiercely and cursing, "You jinx, you'll bring bad luck to Grandma after you come here!"

Upon hearing this, I felt a pang of sorrow, but even more so, anger and helplessness.

Before I could even retort, Jiang Yichen's face had already darkened to an extreme. He glared at the old woman and said, word by word, "Try saying that again?"

The older woman was so intimidated by Jiang Yichen's imposing presence that she fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Yichen took my hand and led me through the living room, heading straight for Grandma's room.

I followed closely behind him, and no one dared to stop me.

When I entered Grandma's room, I saw her lying on the bed, her face pale and her breath weak.

My heart clenched instantly, and tears welled up in my eyes.

I walked to my grandmother's bedside, gently took her hand, and whispered her name.

Grandma slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw me, a smile appeared on her face.

She said in a weak voice, "Child, you're here... Grandma's alright, don't worry..."

As I listened to my grandmother's words, I felt a mix of emotions.

"Grandma, how could this happen?"

I turned to look at Jiang Yichen, who was holding his forehead and explaining helplessly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. Grandma just likes acting lately."

He gave me a knowing look.

I was stunned for a moment, and the next second I saw Grandma wink at me, her voice still a little weak: "If I didn't do this, why would you come to see Grandma?"

"Grandma, you scared me to death!" I said, pouting and feeling wronged.

Grandma raised her hand, beckoning Jiang Yichen to come closer: "Xiaochen, come here."

Looking at my grandmother's weak and listless appearance, it didn't seem like she was acting at all. I stared at Jiang Yichen, trying to see something in his eyes.

Jiang Yichen squatted down beside me and held his grandmother's hand.

The next second, she gently placed our hands together, her eyes filled with love and expectation.

Grandma said earnestly, "You two must take good care of yourselves. Xiaochen, you must take good care of her; she's a good child."

Jiang Yichen took my hand tightly and assured Grandma, "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"Grandma, your acting was so realistic, I was almost scared." I suddenly felt a lump in my throat, my eyes stung, and I choked out.

Grandma smiled and said kindly, "Looks like Grandma's acting is pretty good! Maybe she could win an Oscar!"

"Yes, it must be possible."

I nodded quickly, tears welling up in my eyes, but I tried hard not to let them fall: "Grandma, as long as you take good care of yourself, you will definitely get better. Then we can go and act together."

"it is good."

Grandma smiled with relief, patted our hands gently, and said, "Grandma is tired and wants to rest. You can go out now."

After saying goodbye to Grandma, we quietly left the room.

Walking down the corridor, I nestled close to Jiang Yichen, my heart filled with gratitude for my grandmother.

I hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping myself.

Jiang Yichen patted my shoulder and reassured me, "Wait here for me, I'm going inside."
