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

Chapter 147: Making an enemy of the entire Jiang family?

"Heh, just like how you dealt with my mother back then, is that right?" Jiang Yichen said coldly, with a sneer.

"You..." Old Master Jiang glared angrily and said sharply, "Are you talking back to me for the sake of a woman?"

The older woman noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right, so she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Yichen has done this kind of thing before. I didn't expect that even though the Gu family has fallen on hard times, she's still putting on airs and doesn't care about the Jiang family at all. Yichen, you shouldn't waste your feelings on her anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's expression hardened, and he retorted without hesitation, "It's my own business, none of your concern."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Gu Mo's number.

Upon seeing this, the older woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she followed after him, saying, "Yichen, listen to my advice..."

Jiang Yichen glared at her, and although she shut her mouth, her expression was full of filth.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a bright red string inadvertently peeked out from the old woman's pocket, catching his attention.

That red string was from the jade pendant that Grandma gave to Gu Mo.

Jiang Yichen's eyes narrowed, and taking advantage of the old woman's inattention, he quickly stepped forward and pulled the jade pendant out of her pocket.

"Hey...you..." The woman panicked and tried to snatch the jade pendant back, but it was too late.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Jiang Yichen already understood.

Jiang Yichen gripped the jade pendant tightly, staring intently at the old woman, and demanded, "What exactly is going on with this jade pendant?"

The woman's eyes darted around, and she quickly fabricated a lie, feigning grievance as she said, "Oh, this? She threw it away herself. I thought it was a pity, and I was thinking of returning it to Grandma later."

The woman's words were full of cunning, attempting to deceive people.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned and looked at the old woman thoughtfully.

Gu Mo does have a criminal record, so what she says might not necessarily be false, but...

His hand holding the jade pendant unconsciously clenched into a fist, his inner doubts and anger intertwined.

Seeing this, the older woman assumed Jiang Yichen believed her and seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, launching a fierce attack on Gu Mo, saying, "A girl like her isn't worth your effort."

"She couldn't get any money outside, so she..."

After listening for a few minutes, Jiang Yichen frowned even more and finally couldn't help but interrupt the old woman: "Enough! I will find out the truth myself, you don't need to tell me."

Jiang Yichen said in an unquestionable manner.

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked out.

The woman watched him leave, then turned and called over two burly men before heading to the nanny's room.

I heard the door to the nanny's room open and quickly stood up, thinking it was Jiang Yichen.

To my surprise, it was another middle-aged woman. I frowned and asked warily, "What do you want?"

The woman looked at the two burly men behind her and said in a deep voice, "You two take her to another city and make sure she never comes back."

"What are you doing? What you're doing is illegal." I took two steps back in fear, tripped over something, and fell to the ground, my hand landing on a wooden stick.

I felt like I'd found a lifeline, and I swung the wooden stick high in the air, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

The two burly men glanced at me, snatched the wooden stick, and threw it to the ground with a dull thud.

I was lifted up by two burly men, and the old woman glanced at me and slapped me across the face.

"Given Jiang Yichen's current status and position, having an ex-wife like you by his side will only lower his standing. You must leave, and you can never come back."

"Pah! If Jiang Yichen finds out, he won't let you off the hook," I said through gritted teeth.

"Ha, who do you think you are? Do you think Jiang Yichen would make an enemy of the entire Jiang family for your sake?"

My heart sank. She was right. Why should Jiang Yichen be at odds with the entire Jiang family for my sake?

Even so, I can't give up, I can't leave this city.

"Gag her and get out the back door."

I struggled with all my might, but I was no match for the strength of the two burly men. They lifted me up and were about to drag me away.

I was thinking to myself that I would find another opportunity to escape.

But before I even reached the door, Jiang Yichen suddenly appeared at the entrance to the hall, shouting, "Let her go!"

My eyes lit up; I saw my savior! "Ughhhhh—"

The woman was shocked to see Jiang Yichen suddenly return. Her face paled, and she hurriedly explained, "Yichen, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to do anything to her. I just felt that since she's already left, she should leave completely and not come back to bother you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes sharpened even more. He strode over and pulled me behind him.

His gaze was piercing as he demanded, "What are you trying to do?"

The woman's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, her face turned deathly pale, and she stammered for a long time without being able to say anything.

Jiang Yichen's eyes darkened, and he asked sharply, "Who exactly gave the order to do this?"

Seeing that she couldn't avoid the situation, the woman finally shifted the blame to Jiang Yichen's father: "It was...it was your father's idea."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's face turned ashen. He grabbed my hand, turned around, and left.

Jiang Yichen held my hand tightly and led me straight to Grandpa Jiang.

His attitude was resolute and decisive, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination: "Dad, I'm warning you, if you dare to touch her even a little bit again, I will absolutely not be polite."

Old Master Jiang's face turned ashen with anger. He glared at Jiang Yichen and accused him, "You always break the rules for this woman! You married into the Gu family for her, and you've always been there to solve her problems. Now, this woman's existence has become a stain on your history. You must get rid of her immediately!"

Jiang Yichen did not back down. He looked directly into the eyes of the old man and said firmly, "Whether it's a dark history or not is up to me to decide! I have my own judgment and choices, and I don't need you to interfere."

"You're gambling with the Jiang family's reputation, and where does that leave the family's honor?"

"After your divorce, the Jiang Group's stock price fluctuated, wasn't that all because of this woman?"

……

Old Master Jiang used the Jiang family's reputation as leverage, attempting to use family pressure to force Jiang Yichen to submit.

I listened quietly to their argument, my heart filled with mixed feelings.

Lin Nan's words resurfaced in my mind, and I gradually realized that I seemed to have really become a stumbling block on Jiang Yichen's path forward.

I took a deep breath, mustered my courage, and interrupted their conversation: "Jiang Yichen, I think... I should leave."

As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Yichen immediately turned to look at me, his eyes filled with shock and disappointment.
