Chapter 178 Be careful

After I replied to the message, I put my arms around grandma's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I want to sleep with you at night, is that okay?"

"Okay, I'll have someone put a bed in my room right now."

Grandma was excitedly making arrangements. When Auntie heard that Grandma was going to make a bed in the room and was asking her to make the arrangements, she glared at me fiercely and muttered, "You still think you are the young lady of the Jiang family. You have so many things to do."

I hid behind my grandma, stuck out my tongue at her back, raised my fist and waved it in the air twice.

Although the aunt said she was not happy about it, she still acted quickly.

In no time, he asked the servant to put a small bed in grandma's room.

I lay beside her and listened to my grandma talking about Jiang Yichen's past. As I listened, I fell asleep.

I was half asleep and felt someone touching my face.

I felt itchy, so I waved my hands away and muttered, "Stop it."

But suddenly Jiang Yichen's voice rang in my ears. I opened my eyes suddenly, startled, and just as I was about to scream, my mouth was covered.

The other person took out his cell phone, and the UI light shone on his face. Then I could see clearly that it was Jiang Yichen.

I sat up in surprise, lowered my voice and leaned over to his ear to ask quietly: "Why are you back? Is the company's affairs difficult?"

Jiang Yichen shook his head, made a gesture of advancement, and then pointed to the balcony.

We both tiptoed to the balcony, he held me in his arms and whispered, "You don't have to worry about me, but how are you doing in the Jiang family? Have they bullied you?"

I knew he was referring to Mr. Jiang and Auntie, so I shook my head, put my arms around his strong waist, and said, "Luckily, Grandma is here, so no one in the Jiang family dares to neglect me. Even if Auntie has a problem with me, she dares not speak out. And Grandma is also very good to me."

Jiang Yichen gently stroked my back and consoled me, "The company's affairs will be settled soon, and I'll come pick you up then."

I rubbed his chest, my eyes reddened, and I choked and said, "Why are you so stupid? Knowing that Mr. Jiang wanted to use me to force you to do something you didn't want to do, why did you come back? What if they want to plot against you? Aren't you putting yourself in danger?"

Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and said, "I'll just consider it as repaying the favor you did for me when we were kids. You saved me once, and I saved you once, so we're even now."

When I heard him say that, I couldn't help but feel sad. I originally thought that he came back regardless of everything because he loved me and didn't want me to get hurt.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

My expression was gloomy, and my voice became muffled, still thinking about how to continue testing him.

Jiang Yichen seemed to notice my mood change and whispered, "I can't leave for too long. You have to be careful during this time."

I held his hand tightly, not wanting to let go, and said worriedly, "You have to be careful."

He gently brushed the loose hair on my forehead, held my face, and gently kissed my forehead. Then he climbed down the railing and quietly left the Jiang family.

I watched his back gradually blend into the night. Gusts of cold wind blew over me, making me feel that it was indeed a bit chilly outside.

After being tormented by Jiang Yichen like this, I didn't get a good rest the whole night.

The next morning, after I washed up, I sat at the dining table while my grandma went back upstairs to rest. In front of my aunt, I said seriously, "I'm going to work."

The aunt slammed her chopsticks on the table and scolded, "Impossible! Grandpa has told you that you cannot leave the Jiang family until the matter between him and Jiang Yichen is resolved!"

I was not to be outdone and did not back down: "You are illegally imprisoning me. This is against the law. I can call the police at any time."

I know that Jiang Yichen has compromised a lot for me.

At this moment, if I take another step back, I will only be controlled more strictly.

I must fight for some freedom for myself, at least so as not to delay my exams and work.

After hearing what I said, the aunt sneered and said, "This is an agreement between Jiang Yichen and his father, and it's not illegal. You'd better stay at home and don't cause any trouble."

Just as my aunt and I were at a stalemate, my grandmother slowly came down from upstairs. Her voice was full of dignity and kindness: "Okay, you two stop arguing. I want to go out for some fresh air today. Good boy, come with me."

When the aunt heard this, her face changed and she wanted to object, but grandma's eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness, so she had to shut her mouth and dared not say a word.

Grandma took my hand and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she turned around to look at the aunt, and said with a bit of reproach in her tone: "Do you still want to put me under house arrest?"

The aunt lowered her head, not daring to look at grandma, and could only watch us leave silently.

Grandma took me out of the Jiang family’s gate. The air outside seemed fresher and freer than at home.

I took a deep breath, feeling the rare peace and freedom.

Grandma looked at me with love in her eyes: "My child, I know you have been wronged during this period. But you must believe that grandma will always be by your side to support and protect you."

I nodded, and a warm feeling surged in my heart.

When I got outside, the sun shone on my body, bringing a hint of warmth.

Grandma called her personal servant to go to the mall together, and I gained the rare freedom.

I looked back at my grandma, squatted down and covered her with the blanket.

"Grandma, you have to be careful too. If anything happens, you must contact me immediately. Do you hear me?" I reminded her worriedly.

"Well, you should also pay attention to safety and come back early."

I looked at my grandmother with gratitude, and then took a taxi to the company.

Along the way, I was thinking about how I could help Jiang Yichen and how I could share some of his pressure.

When I arrived at the company, I found Lin Nan.

She is Jiang Yichen's right-hand man and must be very clear about the company's affairs.

I asked anxiously: "How is Jiang Yichen doing now?"

But Lin Nan just sighed and said, "You can't help with anything now, so don't ask."

I felt nervous when I heard that, but I still asked, "Is there anything I can do? Even if it's just a small thing, I want to share some of the burden for him."

Lin Nan lowered his head and looked at the documents without answering me directly.

I walked over, picked up the document in her hand, and read it carefully word by word.
