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

Chapter 156 Gu Mo, go to hell!

I was unexpectedly scratched by the woman's sharp, long fingernails. She looked up, her eyes wide open, and roared, "Gu Mo, go to hell!"

At this critical moment, Gu Bai reacted quickly and subdued her.

I looked closely and was shocked to find that the woman was actually Xiaoyu.

Since I left Hongyu Company, Xiaoyu has vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air.

I have no contact with her at all. If she hadn't shown up, I would have almost forgotten about her.

Her sudden appearance and her excited demeanor took me completely by surprise.

I suppressed my surprise and calmly asked, "Xiaoyu, are you crazy? You came to my house just to beat me up?"

I'm so glad we came back in time. Otherwise, what if she had stormed into my house and hurt my parents?

But Xiaoyu struggled desperately, as if she had gone mad, trying to break free from Gu Bai's grasp: "Don't pretend! It's all your fault that I've become like this!"

Gu Bai held Xiaoyu tightly to prevent her from moving around.

I tried to calm her down: "Xiaoyu, calm down first. We can talk things out. Hitting someone is not the way to solve problems."

However, Xiaoyu had completely lost control of her emotions. She screamed hoarsely, "It's all your fault! You're the one who made me homeless and ruined my career! You hypocritical woman, it was you who told Jiang Yichen to destroy Hongyu Company and blacklist me, preventing me from live streaming on the platform! Don't think I don't know about your dirty tricks!"

My heart sank upon hearing this, and I quickly retorted, "Xiaoyu, you've misunderstood. I sued Hongyu Company to protect my legal rights, not against you. As for the blacklist, I know nothing about it. You may have been misled or used."

Xiaoyu wouldn't listen to my explanation at all. She continued to curse, "Stop making excuses! You're just a woman who climbed up the social ladder by relying on men. You only know how to rely on Jiang Yichen for everything! You bitch, you should die!"

"You crazy woman, it's Jiang Yichen who caused you to become like this, why are you looking for my sister?" Gu Bai pressed down hard and said fiercely.

I stood there, witnessing the little fish's near-madness, feeling a mix of emotions.

Finally, I took a deep breath and decided to stop arguing with her. I coldly said to Gu Bai, "Gu Bai, I think Xiao Yu has lost her mind. Let's not waste any more time with her and just take her to the police station."

Gu Bai nodded and quickly and professionally subdued Xiao Yu. Together, we took her to the police station.

After giving our statements, it was already late at night. We went back and leaned back on the sofa.

Thinking back on what just happened, it was truly a close call.

Gu Bai suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with doubt: "Is Jiang Yichen really that concerned about you?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, saying, "Gu Bai, you're overthinking it. I'd be grateful if Jiang Yichen would just give me a few less cold looks. He probably cares less about me than he does about a report to the company."

After hearing this, Gu Bai remained silent for a while, seemingly deep in thought.

Then his gaze fell on my wrist, where I was wearing that priceless bracelet: "And that bracelet on your wrist..."

I sighed helplessly and told Gu Bai the whole story of how the bracelet came about: "This bracelet was actually given to me by Jiang Yichen's grandmother."

“She was very kind to me, and this bracelet was a token of her appreciation. Although it is indeed very valuable, I still feel that it is not something I can accept so easily. In the future, I will find a suitable opportunity to return this bracelet to Jiang Yichen’s grandmother.”

After listening, Gu Bai nodded, "In short, keep your distance from him and don't get hurt."

My dad happened to come out to get a drink of water and overheard our conversation. He casually leaned over and said, "Gu Mo, from what you two were saying earlier, Jiang Yichen gave you a bracelet. What does that mean? It's obvious he still considers you his wife! You two will definitely remarry!"

Listening to my father's words, I couldn't help but feel a little irritated, but I still tried my best to remain calm and said, "Dad, just stop thinking about it. Jiang Yichen is about to marry Lin Nan, there's absolutely no possibility of them remarrying!"

Upon hearing this, Dad's face darkened, as if he wanted to say something more.

But Mom intervened just in time. She gently patted my shoulder and comforted me, saying, "Gu Mo, it's okay. Fate is hard to explain. Since Jiang Yichen has made a new choice, we shouldn't force it. In the future, Mom will help you find an honest and reliable person, and you can live a good life together."

"What are you looking for? That kid won't marry anyone else. Just wait and see!"

"You old geezer, I think you're getting more and more confused." With that, the usually gentle mother suddenly grabbed the father's ear and scolded him in a low voice: "Let me tell you, you can't get involved in this anymore."

"Okay, okay, let go now. What are you saying in front of the child?"

"Momo, don't listen to your dad. Whatever you choose, just make yourself happy."

As I listened to my mother's words, a warm feeling welled up in my heart, but at the same time, I felt a little sad.

I forced a smile and said to my mother, "Mom, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. I'm just a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest."

After saying that, I turned and walked to my room, gently closing the door to isolate myself from the outside world.

I sat on the edge of the bed with mixed feelings, my gaze unconsciously falling on the bracelet on my wrist.

This was a gift from my grandmother, carrying her earnest expectations and deep love.

I gently picked up the bracelet and rubbed it repeatedly in my hands, feeling the warmth from my elders.

Recalling the scene when his grandmother urged them to hold their great-grandchild, Jiang Yichen responded so naturally, as if everything was under his control.

However, I remembered what Jiang Yichen said to me that night. His eyes and tone made me feel unfamiliar and distant.

For a moment, I really couldn't tell which of Jiang Yichen's words were true and which were false.

Maybe it's true? But his attitude towards Lin Nan and his attitude towards me are completely different. He's so gentle when he's with Lin Nan, and his voice even softens naturally. But his attitude towards me is terrible.

I tried to analyze and understand, but the more I thought about it, the stronger my doubts and confusion became.

I had a splitting headache, so I simply stopped thinking about it, gently placed the bracelet back on the bedside table, and then buried my head under the covers, trying to escape it all through sleep.

However, this night was destined to be sleepless.
