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

Chapter 190 Don't Lie to Me

I smiled guiltily, and instead of explaining directly, I cleverly changed the subject, chatting with my grandmother about the competition I was about to participate in.

We walked and talked, chatting casually, sometimes lighthearted, sometimes in-depth, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Grandma enthusiastically suggested, "Let's go out to eat. I'm tired of the food here."

Remembering the accident last time, I hesitated and didn't dare to take her out to eat casually. After all, I didn't know her usual dietary restrictions, and I couldn't bear the responsibility if something went wrong.

I glanced at the maid standing to the side, asking with my eyes if Grandma could go out for dinner. The maid came over, nodded gently, and said, "Grandma can go out with proper protection, but we've already prepared food for her, and it's on its way."

I looked at Grandma with some difficulty. Grandma's temper flared up again. She turned her head away and muttered, "I'm already tired of this. I want to eat out."

I understand that Grandma actually wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air; as for what she ate, she probably didn't care too much.

So I knelt down, took her hands in mine, and spoke to her gently, "How about we go to the doctor later to ask if you have any dietary restrictions? Then we can go out to eat, okay?"

Grandma reluctantly nodded after hearing this and said, "Alright then, I'll wait for you at the door. You mustn't lie to me, okay?"

The old lady was very shrewd. She was afraid I wouldn't take her out, so she refused to come back to the building with me and insisted on waiting for me at the hospital entrance.

Left with no other choice, I rushed off to find out about Grandma's dietary restrictions from the doctor, and then prepared to take her away. But to my surprise, we bumped into the woman delivering food. Seeing me pushing Grandma out, she rushed forward, gripped the wheelchair tightly, and shouted shrilly, "You jinx! Are you not satisfied with just killing Grandma? Are you going to take her out on an adventure?"

I explained again with a sigh, "Aunt Wang, I'm just taking Grandma out for a meal. We'll be back soon. I've already asked the doctor, and he said it's okay for Grandma to go out."

Grandma quickly sided with me, saying, "Yes, Aunt Wang, this was my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Momo. Please don't stop us."

But the older woman already had a problem with me, and now she was even more convinced that I was trying to harm my grandmother. She wouldn't let us leave no matter what, and even took out her phone to call Grandpa Jiang.

Because there were many people coming and going at the hospital entrance, we didn't want to argue with her, lest we attract more attention.

Not long after, Grandpa Jiang arrived. As if she had someone backing her up, the old lady immediately pointed at me and said to Grandpa Jiang, "It was him. When I came over just now, he was about to push the old lady out. If I hadn't arrived in time, Mom would have been sold by him without even knowing it."

My heart skipped a beat, thinking that Grandpa Jiang would scold me, but to my surprise, he interrupted the old lady sternly: "Shut up! You're talking nonsense without knowing the facts!"

His attitude startled us all for a moment. But the next second, Grandpa Jiang's actions left me even more confused. He smiled and said to me, "I don't mind you taking Grandma out. I'll pay for the meal. Where are you going? I'll have the driver take you there."

His attitude made me even more hesitant to take Grandma out. I wondered to myself if he was up to something. I quickly said, "If it's inconvenient, I'll take Grandma out another day."

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand and said, "It's alright, don't listen to that crazy woman. If you're really worried, I can take you all out with me, and I'll treat you to a meal."

As he spoke, Grandpa Jiang called the driver to help push Grandma into the car, and Grandma also advised me, "Since someone is treating us, let's go and have a meal."

I looked at my grandmother and then at Grandpa Jiang. It was really hard to refuse, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with them.

The older woman was left behind, looking utterly astonished.

Grandpa Jiang chose an elegantly decorated Chinese restaurant with a pleasant and warm atmosphere.

Throughout the meal, he was kind and gentle to me, and his voice became much more amiable. This sudden enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for me, and I couldn't help but wonder: what is he trying to achieve by being so enthusiastic?

When the waiter brought the menu, Grandpa Jiang smiled and handed it to me, saying warmly, "Take a look and see what you like to eat, and see if there's anything you can't eat. Order for yourself."

I took the menu, but didn't rush to look at it. Instead, I smiled awkwardly and mustered up my courage to say, "Uncle Jiang, if you have anything to say, please just say it. Your politeness makes me feel a little uneasy."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his warm expression. He gently put down his teacup and said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I'm just very happy to see how filial you are to Grandma. It's been a long time since our Jiang family has had such a heartwarming scene. I hope you can continue to take care of Grandma like this, so that she can have a happy old age."

Listening to Grandpa Jiang's words, I felt a little more relaxed, but I remained vigilant.

"Uncle Jiang, you can say whatever it is," I said bluntly, hoping to resolve the real issue behind this meal as soon as possible.

Old Master Jiang gave an awkward smile, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but he finally said, "I would like to ask you to persuade Jiang Yichen to return to the company."

I know a little about this matter. The company has indeed been in a mess lately. Since Jiang Yichen left, Old Master Jiang has clearly been struggling and unable to handle the company's various problems on his own. Therefore, he wants to use my help to bring Jiang Yichen back to the company.

I smiled but remained silent, patiently listening to his story before slowly replying, "This is Jiang Yichen's decision, and I can't control him. Besides, as you know, our current focus is mainly on taking care of Grandma and making her happy. So, you might have come to the wrong person."

At this point, Grandma also stepped in to help persuade him, saying, "There's no lasting grudge between father and son, especially when it involves our family company. We all hope he can come back."

I know that Grandma didn't know the reason behind it, which is why she sided with Jiang Yichen.

I looked at my grandma helplessly and could only agree: "Okay, Grandma, let's eat first."

However, the meal was tasteless.
