His furrowed brows relaxed, and Jiang Shaoyao's tone became much colder, "Well, then I'll take you back."
He brought her here today so she could meet his family, but she's only been here for less than half an hour and he's already saying he wants to take her home.
Something had subtly changed after he mentioned Su Yuanchu. Su Yuanmo was somewhat flustered. She reached out and hugged him intimately, then stood on tiptoe to kiss Jiang Shaoyao.
"Yuanmo, the sun is a bit too strong here, let's get in the car."
Avoiding her kiss, Jiang Shaoyao pushed her away and walked around her first, leading the way.
"Shaoyao?"
Her expression changed, and Su Yuanmo turned around. The man had already walked several steps away and showed no intention of stopping to wait for her.
The stark contrast made Su Yuanmo wary again, but this time she stamped her foot and reluctantly chased after him, calling out, "Shaoyao!"
"Bang!"
Just as they took their first step, a gunshot rang out from inside the villa.
"Ahhh, what are you going to do?"
"I'm telling you, trespassing is illegal."
Inside the house, Madam Jiang screamed in fright when she saw three or four men in black suddenly appear in the villa.
Outside the door, Su Yuanmo, who was walking behind, heard this and her expression changed. She quickly called out to Jiang Shaoyao, who had walked a long way ahead.
"Shaoyao, I heard gunshots coming from your house. Your aunt kept calling out. Has something happened to your father?"
"What!?"
Upon hearing Su Yuanmo's shouts, Jiang Shaoyao's expression changed drastically. He turned around and quickly ran into the villa.

A thief broke into the Jiang family's house.
Mr. Jiang was shot in the leg by the man in black.
After Madam Jiang and Jiang Shaoyao thoroughly searched the house, they discovered that the missing item was the very treasure they had traded with Zhan Nanting that morning.
A blood-red, crystal-clear spirit pearl.
Legend has it that this spirit pearl can manifest images.
Of course, these are all rumors.
Zhan Nanting treasured this spirit pearl so much that Master Jiang spent ten million to buy it at the auction before he even learned of it.
Sure enough, the day after he bought the spirit pearl, Cheng Qi, one of Zhan Nanting's subordinates, contacted him, saying he was willing to pay ten times the price, or one hundred million, to buy the spirit pearl.
Master Jiang was naturally overjoyed.
The problem was that he was too greedy, thinking that with the Spirit Pearl in his hand, Zhan Nanting would agree to any conditions he set.
Therefore, he demanded all the land and buildings that Zhan Nanting had bought in S City.
This is certainly much more than one hundred million.
Such a greedy act was enough to anger Zhan Nanting.
But to Mr. Jiang's utter surprise, he still agreed and came over this morning to sign the contract.
Originally, the Spirit Pearl was supposed to be delivered to Zhan Nanting two days later, after the contract took effect.
But now, at this critical juncture, something has gone wrong.
More than the gunshot wound on his leg, what pained Mr. Jiang the most was that the lucrative opportunity he had just made had slipped through his fingers.
In the hospital, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, "I knew it, I knew Zhan Nanting wouldn't agree to my conditions so easily."
"I should have moved the Spirit Orb to a different location sooner."
"My God, the meat that was almost in my mouth is gone just like that! Zhan Nanting, you bastard!"
They actually sent people to rob them.
Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras were destroyed in an instant, otherwise he would have definitely called the police to arrest that man.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and came in.
Old Master Jiang stopped venting his anger, raised his eyes with a sour expression, and saw his son walk in from outside.
