Chapter 194: Wish Fulfillment
I was shocked when I heard that and looked at Song Le in disbelief: "What did you say? The bankruptcy of the Gu family is related to Jiang Yichen?"
Song Le nodded, his expression solemn: "That's right. The reason why the Gu family went bankrupt was because a big project went wrong. And that project is now being followed up by the Jiang family. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
I was stunned and had a bad feeling in my heart.
I frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have solid evidence?"
"One of my recent project partners accidentally let slip during a drink that in the early stages of the negotiations, the Jiang Group and the Gu Group were competing. Just when the contract was about to be signed, the Gu Group suddenly revealed that it had serious internal business problems and was facing a seizure and inspection. How do you explain this?"
I left the Song Company in a trance, walking aimlessly along the way.
On the way back to his home, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Jiang Yichen's grandmother calling.
I answered the phone and listened absentmindedly to grandma's words: "Momo! Do you have time? Can you come and see grandma? Grandma is too bored in the hospital."
Hearing grandma's voice, my wandering mind quickly recovered and I replied gently, "Okay, grandma, I'll be there right away."
Without saying a word, I rushed to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, we saw grandma lying on the bed receiving an IV drip. The servant had gone to buy things for grandma and had not returned yet.
Grandma looked a little weak and no one took care of her even when she wanted to drink water.
I quickly went forward to give grandma some water and chat with her to cheer her up.
Not long after, Jiang Yichen also came.
When he saw me, he looked surprised: "Why are you here?"
I briefly explained my grandmother's situation. After listening, Jiang Yichen looked at me with a complicated expression.
We didn't say much, but just stayed by grandma's side quietly until she finished the infusion and the servant came back.
After hearing what we said, grandma pretended to be angry and said to Jiang Yichen: "Look, my granddaughter-in-law is still reliable. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't even be able to drink water when I was thirsty. Unlike you, my grandson, you are busy all day long and don't know how to care about grandma."
Jiang Yichen was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and coaxed his grandmother: "Grandma, you are wronging me by saying that. I am busy with work, but since you like me so much, I will accompany you more, okay?"
When grandma heard this, a smile immediately broke out on her face: "That's more like it. But, grandma is bored staying in the hospital and wants to go home. You two, come and live with grandma at the Jiang family, so that I can see you every day."
Jiang Yichen frowned when he heard this, and was obviously a little hesitant. I guess he was worried that I would not be able to get used to living there after returning, after all, Auntie always made things difficult for me. But before he could speak, I agreed to Grandma first: "Okay, Grandma, I will accompany you back to the Jiang family."
Jiang Yichen looked at me in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
I pretended not to understand his look and asked him, "Why, don't you want to go home and be with grandma?"
Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly and could only agree: "Okay, grandma has said so, what else can I say. But you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself when you go back and don't let grandma worry."
I smiled and nodded, but I was thinking to myself: This time when I go back to live at the Jiang family, maybe I can take the opportunity to find out the truth of some things, such as whether the bankruptcy of the Gu family is related to Jiang Yichen. No matter what, I must seek justice for myself and my family.
In the villa, I was busy packing my luggage and preparing to move back to the Jiang family. At this time, Jiang Yichen walked in, looked at my busy figure, and asked, "Why did you agree to move back to the Jiang family?"
I stopped what I was doing, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "I just want to make grandma happy. She must be very lonely at home alone. She will feel comforted if we spend more time with her."
Jiang Yichen was silent for a while after hearing this, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing and silently began to help me pack my luggage.
After a while, we packed up and drove to Jiang's house.
Grandma was already waiting for us at home. When she saw me, a happy smile broke out on her face. She took my hand and asked me about my recent situation in a friendly manner.
When the aunt saw me, her face instantly turned gloomy, and she began to mock me in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this the daughter of the Gu family? Why, are you finally willing to return to the Jiang family? I thought you were so arrogant."
When grandma heard what aunt said, her face immediately darkened and she scolded sternly: "How can you talk like that? Momo is my granddaughter-in-law. She is willing to come back to accompany me. You should be happy. Don't be so weird all day long. It makes people upset."
The aunt was speechless after being scolded by grandma and could only stare in anger.
I smiled and looked at my grandmother, thanking her for standing up for me. I knew that in the Jiang family, my grandmother was my strongest supporter.
At night, Jiang Yichen and I were arranged to stay in the same room.
I seemed a little embarrassed, so I mustered up the courage to ask him, "Can we sleep in separate rooms?"
Jiang Yichen looked at me with a slightly interested smile on his face: "Why, you were so enthusiastic when you agreed to come back to live here, but now you're scared?"
I quickly explained: "No, I just think... if the two of us live in the same room, Lin Nan might misunderstand."
Jiang Yichen heard this, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He approached me step by step and asked, "What misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding that the two of us will sleep together?"
I was a little at a loss for words after his question and couldn't explain clearly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yichen suddenly pulled me close to his arms and said in a low and magnetic voice: "If this is what you are worried about, then you don't have to. I know my limits and won't let anyone misunderstand our relationship."
I felt Jiang Yichen's breath coming towards me, and my heart beat faster.
I knew I should break free from his embrace, but I felt powerless at the moment. Finally, I mustered up the courage, gently pushed him away, and said, "I know you know your limits, but... I still hope we can keep a proper distance."
Jiang Yichen looked at me, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your opinion. Let's leave it at that for tonight, and go to bed early."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the sofa beside the bed, ready to spend the night there.
I looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions.
In a hurry, I asked Jiang Yichen to let me go, but he tightened his arms even more tightly, with a teasing look in his eyes: "Grandma has always wanted a great-grandson. Since you care about her so much, shouldn't you fulfill her wish?"
