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

Chapter 112 Heroism

When I got back, my parents found out that I had disappeared for so many days because I had died at sea.

After the police left, my dad frowned deeply and scolded me sternly.

"Momo, how could you do something so dangerous?"

My brother also disapproved of what I did.

“What you did was absurd. At the very least, you should have told your family so we would know, instead of waiting until it was all over and then finding out from other people.”

When my dad saw that I was injured, he got even angrier.

“Momo, you almost dragged the family down with you. You can’t take risks for this so-called heroism anymore.”

I was also holding my anger in, so I retorted loudly.

"You don't understand me at all. I just want to help more people. Is that heroism?"

Seeing my strong reaction, my dad was also unhappy and snatched the award for bravery from me, tearing it to shreds.

While tearing at it, he kept talking about me.

"While you should be brave and righteous, you must also know your own limitations. Don't do things you shouldn't do!"

Looking at the certificate that had been torn to shreds, the sadness in my heart was amplified infinitely.

I picked up the pieces of the award certificate and vented my emotions on my parents.

“You don’t understand anything.”

After saying that, I stormed out the door, completely ignoring my parents' attempts to stop me.

Seeing me like this, my parents were at a loss for words.

My brother was the first to react and quickly followed behind me.

Seeing me squatting on the side of the street crying, he stood behind me, raised his hand and then lowered it again, finally awkwardly comforting me.

"Your parents' words were a bit harsh, but don't take them to heart. They care about you, they just didn't express it well."

I never expected my brother would come out just to comfort me.

I wiped away the tears from my eyes and nodded heavily in response.

My brother continued talking only after he saw that I was getting better.

“Now our family has nothing left, and everyone’s safety is the most important thing. Before you do anything, you have to think about your family first.”

When I calmed down, I realized that what I had done was too impulsive.

After calming down a bit, I told my brother to go home, and then I went to Mr. Liu's stall.

I want to buy some fruit so I can reconcile with my parents.

As soon as he saw me, Mr. Liu was exceptionally enthusiastic and quickly stuffed fruit into my hands.

"Xiao Gu, please don't send me any more money in the future. The money from that truckload of fruit was more than enough."

That left me a little confused.

To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I haven't given Mr. Liu any money during this whole period of time.

So where did the money he received come from?

Did Jiang Yichen do it? Or is it a misunderstanding?

After thinking for a moment, I took the initiative to ask.

"Master Liu, what's this about the money you mentioned?"

When I asked the question, Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way.

He quickly pulled out the payment records on his phone and handed them to me.

The above clearly shows that every now and then, an unfamiliar account would transfer several thousand yuan to Mr. Liu.

Seeing these payments only deepened my doubts.

At that moment, Master Liu realized something was wrong and took the initiative to ask me.

"Xiao Gu, didn't you transfer this money?"

I didn't remember to answer; instead, I pondered who knew about this.

Lao Mo is one, and Jiang Yichen is another.

But who would help me for no reason?

If I really couldn't find the answer, I asked Mr. Liu to show me the detailed payment records.

Without a second thought, Mr. Liu pulled out the detailed bill and gave it to me.

I only realized it when I saw that the payer's name was Jiang.

Every single payment made recently has been made by Jiang Yichen's company.

Thinking about Jiang Yichen's initial attitude, I subconsciously linked this matter to him.

Perhaps it was because I was unwilling to quit the live stream that he quietly paid back the money for me.

I really can't figure out what kind of feelings Jiang Yichen has for me.

Does it mean you hate me?

But if you hate me, why did you pay my money back?

Love?

But it seems impossible for me to be loved by him.

I only found out what Jiang Yichen did today, and I don't know how I should feel.

Jiang Yichen is about to get engaged to Lin Nan, and it seems that no matter what the reason, I shouldn't have any relationship with him anymore.

Seeing that I hadn't responded for a long time, Master Liu couldn't help but call out to me.

It was only then that I came to my senses and returned the phone.

"Xiao Gu, have you figured it out yet?"

Seeing that Master Liu was pressing me for an answer, I nodded in agreement and gave him a perfunctory reply.

"Consider this a gift from me; I won't be giving you any more money in the future."

Upon receiving my reply, Mr. Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I bought some fruit from Mr. Liu's stall and took it home.

As soon as I entered the door, I found my parents sitting in the living room with heavy expressions on their faces.

When they saw me return, they both stood up at the same time, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

I knew what they were thinking, so I took the initiative to break the deadlock before they could speak.

"Mom and Dad, I went out and bought some fruit. Come and have a taste."

My parents immediately looked relieved and hurried over.

I handed them the fruit before quietly apologizing.

"Mom and Dad, I was really too impulsive just now. It's my fault for not thinking things through before I acted."

Seeing that I was the first to apologize, my parents lost all their anger and were only filled with heartache.

My mother sighed softly and gently stroked my face.

"It's also your dad's fault for speaking too harshly just now. We shouldn't have torn up your certificate so easily. Momo, you have always been your parents' pride."

The atmosphere suddenly became so emotional that my nose started to sting a little.

Just then, my brother's untimely voice suddenly rang out.

"You're lucky you only kept wolves. If the island owner had kept a pack of tigers, we wouldn't even have seen your fragments."

Although my brother's words were harsh, I knew they were just his way of expressing concern.

After I repeatedly assured my family that I would never do such a dangerous thing again, we were able to reconcile.

Thinking about Mr. Liu's money, I decided to return it to Jiang Yichen the next day.

I guess I was just lucky.

Lin Nan was surprisingly absent, which gave me an opportunity.

I took a deep breath and, with a touch of trepidation, knocked on Jiang Yichen's office door.

Soon, Jiang Yichen's deep, magnetic voice came from inside.

Only after receiving an answer did I muster the courage to go inside.

Jiang Yichen was looking at documents at that moment, and this was the first time I had seen him since I was rescued.

When he saw me, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and asked indifferently.

"What brings you here?"

I mentally prepared my words before speaking slowly.

"Thank you for paying for the fruit for me first. I can't come up with all that money right now, so consider the small amount as something I owe you."

Hearing me say that, Jiang Yichen finally looked up at me with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"What money? I've never paid any money for you."

His words left me somewhat bewildered.

If it wasn't Jiang Yichen, then who would use the Jiang family's name to pay for me?

Before I could think any further, Jiang Yichen contacted Lin Nan directly and asked her to come to his office immediately.

Jiang Yichen did not explain his intentions over the phone.
