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

Chapter 162 1, no more than that.

I stood obediently in place, patiently waiting for Jiang Yichen, wondering what he might need to get.

Just then, Old Master Jiang walked over from the other end of the corridor, his eyes filled with scrutiny and incomprehension.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his tone slightly impolite.

I know that no one here likes me except my grandma, but it doesn't matter, since I'm not going to marry into this family anyway.

I replied indifferently, "I'm waiting for Jiang Yichen here. He went back to his room to get something."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "Name your price, how much will it cost to leave Jiang Yichen?"

His words startled me, and then I found them quite ridiculous.

I countered with, "So, how much do you think I'm worth?"

He seemed to have already made up his mind, and answered without hesitation, "Ten million, no more than that."

Hearing this number, I felt a mix of emotions.

I never imagined that my value would be measured and priced so casually.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, then looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Jiang, I think you've got it wrong. You're overthinking my relationship with Jiang Yichen."

He looked at me, a hint of surprise and confusion flashing in his eyes, but he didn't seem to have any intention of giving up his idea.

He wanted to say something more, but just then, Jiang Yichen came out of the room, interrupting our conversation.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Jiang Yichen's voice was tinged with displeasure and wariness.

Grandpa Jiang, still speaking with prejudice, said, "She's only clinging to you because the Gu family went bankrupt and she needs money. I advise you to have some self-awareness and not continue to be misled by her."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but cry out in my heart that I was wronged.

Just then, Jiang Yichen stepped forward, looked his father in the eye, and said, word by word, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I know what I'm doing and I understand my choices."

Jiang Yichen's father was clearly furious at his son's words. He roared, "You are now the president of Jiang's Group. Every word and action represents the image of Jiang's Group. You need to learn to cherish this opportunity and not ruin yourself for a woman!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's eyes hardened even more: "I built Jiang's company from scratch, and I cherish it more than anyone else. Moreover, I believe the person I chose is worthy of my cherishing."

"You...you...you're unreasonable." Old Master Jiang gasped for breath, pointing at Jiang Yichen while clutching his chest.

Jiang Yichen glanced at him and ordered in a deep voice, "Someone, help the master back to rest."

I stood there, watching Grandpa Jiang being forcibly taken away, and felt a pang of sorrow in my heart.

Faced with the ten million yuan offered by Jiang Yichen's father, I have to admit that this amount was indeed tempting.

My family is facing serious financial difficulties, and this huge sum of money is enough to solve our current debt problems and give me and my family a break.

Furthermore, Grandpa Jiang's words were too biased. He never even considered that it was his son who was harassing me!

God knows how much I want to leave.

I was going to agree, but now I realize that considering Old Master Jiang's status in the family, he's nothing special.

Just as I was struggling internally and hadn't even had a chance to answer, a gloomy and familiar voice suddenly came from behind me: "What? Want to make this money?"

I looked up and met his eyes, which were filled with disbelief and disappointment.

My heart sank; he had overheard our conversation.

I took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Yichen, listen to me, I..."

However, Jiang Yichen didn't seem to want to hear my explanation. He interrupted me, "What is our relationship? Why is my dad overthinking this?"

With each question he asked, he took a step closer to me, which startled me so much that I kept backing away.

I know he misunderstood me, but I don't know how to explain.

I was backed into a corner. I steadied myself and demanded, "Then tell me, what is our relationship? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Or superior and subordinate?"

Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting me to retaliate.

"Of course, it's a superior-subordinate relationship."

Jiang Yichen looked at me with a complicated expression.

As I listened to his words, a strong sense of loss welled up inside me. I knew I couldn't remain silent any longer; I had to let him know my true feelings.

"Since we have a superior-subordinate relationship, I'll go to your father now and accept his ten million. You shouldn't be angry, right?"

I pretended to chase after Grandpa Jiang, deliberately testing Jiang Yichen.

My wrist stung, and when I met his murderous gaze, my heart skipped a beat, and I regretted challenging his bottom line.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly, suppressing the complex emotions welling up inside me.

I gently pulled my hand away from his. "Let go, I want to go home."

"Jiang Yichen, I've finished visiting Grandma, I should go back now." Thinking about the awkward situation when I stayed here last time, and considering I just offended Jiang Yichen, I'm afraid if I stay, I'll be reduced to ashes!

Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly. He grabbed my wrist, his tone tinged with anger: "I'll take you back."

"No need, I can go back by myself."

I broke free from his wrist and said angrily.

"Gu Mo, why do you never listen to me? Do you hate me that much?" Jiang Yichen asked me loudly, his face dark.

I looked at him, my eyes revealing deep helplessness and disappointment: "Jiang Yichen, I don't hate you. I am an independent individual. Why should I listen to you?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of pain and struggle flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes.

He took a deep breath, as if making a decision: "Come with me."

He pulled me into the car, and the cold wind made me much more awake.

Thinking of Grandma's condition, I asked with concern, "What's wrong with Grandma? She looks..."

"You care about Grandma so much, and Grandma even wants a great-grandchild. Why don't you listen to me?"

I was silent for a while, and finally shook my head: "Jiang Yichen, you know our relationship, so why do you keep dwelling on this issue?"

"Heh." He sneered and remained silent.

Half an hour later

Jiang Yichen took me to his villa. I frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "I want to go home."

After the car came to a stop, I didn't get out and insisted, "I want to go home."

"get off."

Jiang Yichen walked over to me, opened the car door, and coldly gave the order.

“No.” I crossed my arms and completely ignored him.

Who knew this scoundrel would bend down and pick me up? I was so scared that I quickly grabbed his neck and cried out, "Jiang Yichen!"

A subtle smile played at the corners of Jiang Yichen's lips.
