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

Chapter 220 Remarriage

I'm almost numb to the fact that I'm trending on social media now.

If Shen Yan's voice hadn't been so incredibly loud, I probably wouldn't have paid any attention.

After hanging up the phone, I turned on my phone and, sure enough, I saw the number one trending topic that Shen Yan had mentioned: the one about me and Jiang Yichen being seen together.

The commotion at the hospital that day, and the intimate behavior at the company entrance yesterday, were widely publicized by those who love to watch the drama unfold.

Someone even compiled a list of the most shameless mistresses in history, and I ranked number one.

I opened the list and took a look. Sure enough, there was no second or third place, so I must be number one.

These people really went to great lengths to insult me.

I turned off my phone, somewhat speechless, and followed Jiang Yichen's attitude, letting things take their course and waiting for the hype to die down.

Jiang Yichen pushed open the door. His expression remained unchanged as usual, and he didn't even mention the trending topic to me.

Why haven't the things you bought yesterday arrived yet?

"Something? What?"

He shouldn't have brought it up, because it suddenly reminded me of yesterday when I came home empty-handed.

Seeing my eyes darting around, Jiang Yichen tilted his head and said with a half-smile, "Don't tell me you didn't buy anything."

"Shen Yan bought a little." I held up my little finger, implying that it wasn't much.

Jiang Yichen snorted coldly, gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger, "It's really not much, just a mere five million, you don't need to worry about it."

I almost fell to the ground as soon as I stood up. Shen Yan really tricked me!

Jiang Yichen left without looking back after telling everyone he was going downstairs for breakfast.

I thought he was angry, so I didn't dare say anything and quickly went downstairs.

Grandma was not at the dinner table; Jiang's father and Jiang Yichen sat at the table in silence.

If I hadn't been too quick and been spotted, I really would have wanted to crawl back into my room.

Skipping a meal won't kill me or my baby, but I'm really afraid that sitting at that table will freeze us to death from the cold air.

Jiang Yichen was very angry, but he was angry because his money had been spent on another woman. Just thinking about Shen Yan's smug and petty face made him so angry that he couldn't eat.

Unaware of the situation, I reluctantly sat down to eat. I had just taken a bite when, whether it was because he simply disliked me or not, Mr. Jiang slammed his chopsticks down on the table.

"You should come forward and clarify this morning's trending topic."

I put down my chopsticks, about to speak, when Jiang Yichen interrupted me, "Is this such a small matter worth mentioning?"

Jiang's father snorted coldly, his voice rising several decibels: "What kind of attitude is this? Do you know how much damage your scandal with this woman has repeatedly caused to the company? You must come forward and clarify this for me today, or you will resign!"

Jiang Yichen coldly retorted, "Momo is pregnant and can't do anything that requires her to show her face in public. You only come back to this house at times like this. Is my only value to you just in maintaining the company's image?"

"What did you say!"

Seeing that Jiang's father was furious, I quickly kicked Jiang Yichen under the table and said flatteringly, "Uncle, don't worry, I will clarify."

Jiang Yichen slammed down his chopsticks, stood up, and pulled me up as well.

"I will hold a press conference today. Everything is my decision and has nothing to do with Momo."

"You! You're so protective of her, and there's Lin Nan outside. You're so fickle. What are you pretending to be so affectionate for!" Jiang's father trembled with anger.

Jiang Yichen had only taken a few steps with me when he heard this and stopped. He turned his head slightly and snorted coldly, "That was also my good father, who taught me well. If it weren't for my father's philandering, there would be no chance for me, an illegitimate child, to become the heir of the Jiang family."

After saying that, she pulled me upstairs.

I shrank back. As expected of Jiang Yichen, when he gets sharp-tongued, even his own father is no match for him.

"I'll have someone bring you breakfast in a bit. There are reporters all over the Jiang family's place right now, I'll deal with them. Don't go out today, just stay home and wait for me." Jiang Yichen pulled me to the bedside and said kindly.

I feel like a caged canary. I'm resentful, but I have no choice but to do this for my child's sake.

After Jiang Yichen left, I was really bored. The weather outside was nice, and I thought that getting some sun might be good for the child, so I asked the nanny to bring me a chair to put outside.

I had only been sunbathing for a short while when a sharp voice came from behind me.

"Some people really think they're part of the Jiang family, shameless. They've forgotten their roots after just a few days."

The older woman had been disliking me for a while now, and I didn't want to pay her any attention. I stood up to go back to my room.

Seeing my attitude, she became even more arrogant, took a step forward, and grabbed my wrist. "The reason why Yichen hasn't acknowledged your identity yet is because you're not nearly as respectable as Miss Lin. The Jiang family doesn't value you at all, and you're still so ungrateful. Gu Mo, take my advice, take some money and get out of here! The day Yichen and Lin Nan get married, you won't even have a place to cry."

Her words were like a knife, cutting a deep gash into my heart.

Jiang Yichen had said he wouldn't marry Lin Nan, but their relationship remained unresolved. He didn't refute what his father had said that morning.

It's clear that in Jiang Yichen's heart, I was nothing more than a vessel for his child.

A plaything that can be discarded at any time and doesn't require an identity.

Thinking of this, I immediately shook my head, forcing myself to calm down.

Having gone through so much and weathered all sorts of storms, even if I'm heartbroken, I can't let a woman extinguish my spirit right now.

I shoved her aside and pressed forward step by step.

The older woman was well-maintained, but even the best age shows, and the signs of aging were evident. Seeing my imposing presence, she couldn't help but back away in fear, her face turning pale.

"What are you going to do?"

"Auntie, if you understand men so well, how come you still couldn't keep Jiang's father by his side and end up with such a capable illegitimate son as Yichen?"

"you!"

The woman's face turned almost green with anger, and she raised her hand to slap me. Before she could even touch me, I grabbed her hand tightly.

"I advise you to recognize your position. No matter what, I'm carrying the Jiang family's child. Do you think Jiang Yichen and his father care more about an old and faded aunt like you, or about the future heir of the Jiang family?"

After I finished speaking, I pushed her to the ground forcefully. The nanny next to me was so frightened by my imposing manner that she dared not come forward.

I squatted down, lifted the old lady's chin, and said, "If you provoke me again, I might not be able to resist whispering in your ear. Then, you, this useless stepmother, won't have an easy time."

After saying that, I didn't even look at how pale her face was, and went back to my room on my own.

What I didn't know was that Jiang Yichen, who was in the company far away, had already seen all of this.

They were worried that I would get hurt again, so they kept a close eye on my safety, but they never expected to see this.

Jiang Yichen put down the tablet, his dark eyes seemingly lost in thought.

He sat there from dawn until dusk.

Identity meant nothing to him. From being the Gu family's driver to Gu Mo's husband, and even the Jiang family's illegitimate son, he was constantly weighed down by the concept of identity.

But now, his identity is a shield that protects his beloved from harm.

If that's the case, why not give it to her?

After years of hard work and struggle, he no longer cares what others think of Jiang Yichen.

But she couldn't tolerate others looking down on Jiang Yichen's woman.

When Jiang Yichen figured things out and returned home, I was sleeping.

I've been very sleepy lately; I took a nap at noon and was woken up.

Jiang Yichen didn't give me a chance to react and dragged me straight to my parents' neighborhood.

"Go get your household registration book and divorce certificate."

I thought it was a press conference and they needed evidence to prove our relationship. Plus, seeing Jiang Yichen's serious expression, I had no choice but to obey.

When I got back into the car, Jiang Yichen stepped on the gas and drove me directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Jiang Yichen, what are you going to do?"

"Gu Mo".

"what?"

"Let's remarry."
