From the first day she arrived at the villa, Jiang Momo knew that she did not belong to this world.

She will leave sooner or later.

With this in mind, she endured day after day of hardship, finally adapting to this life and even managing to get along relatively harmoniously with Li Jiuyuan.

The night before, she was thinking that maybe staying here wouldn't be so bad.

For no other reason than to stay here and be myself.

Right now, Jiang Momo feels like the most naive and ridiculous person in the world.

Why would she want to stay here?

Are we to stay here and continue to be humiliated and manipulated?

She wanted to leave, to take her grandmother and leave the city immediately, to disappear completely from Li Jiuyuan's life.

Never look back.

In this way, sadness cannot catch up.

Can……

She still couldn't.

Grandma couldn't leave until her illness was cured, and she could only endure the pain and suffering countless times.

Jiang Momo seemed to hear the sound of a door opening outside, but she didn't investigate further and buried her head in the blanket again.

She was probably so upset that she was a little delirious.

The foot of the bed sank in, and this time she subconsciously thought it was Li Jiuyuan who had arrived, but she quickly laughed at herself.

How could it be Li Jiuyuan?

Looking up, I felt a soft, furry touch on my forehead; it was Xiao Mo.

She then took the kitten into her arms.

"Why are you here?"

Even though she was trying hard to control herself, her voice still carried a hint of hoarseness and sobbing.

"Meow."

Xiao Mo nuzzled her head.

"Xiao Mo," Jiang Momo hugged Xiao Mo tighter, hugging her as if she were hugging herself, "Don't cry, you still have me with you, don't you?"

"I took you in, so let's stay together like this."

"If we keep each other warm, it won't be so cold."

Big cities are different; even the nights during the hottest days of summer are cool, carrying a chill that cuts to the bone.

She wanted to go back to the countryside, even if it was to the slums, just to be with her grandmother, which would be a thousand times better than here.

……

Jiang Momo couldn't remember how she fell asleep; she only knew that she had a very long and painful dream.

In her dream, there was a blurry shadow, a little boy, and for some reason, she desperately tried to catch up with him.

But the faster she ran, the further away the other person got. Finally, they got into a luxury car and disappeared into the endless night.

When Jiang Momo woke up, she was covered in sweat.

Xiao Mo was still fast asleep in her arms. Jiang Momo sat up, pinching her temples. Her temples were throbbing and aching because she hadn't slept well.

She carefully got out of bed and left the bedroom.

"Aunt Chen."

His voice was hoarse when he opened his mouth.

Aunt Chen happened to be downstairs and heard Jiang Momo calling her, so she quickly went upstairs.

"What's wrong, Madam? Is there anything you need?"

Jiang Momo's gaze passed over her and landed on the door of the study opposite.

Li Jiuyuan must have slept in the study yesterday; he didn't come back all night.

"Where is Ninth Master?"

The moment the question left her mouth, Jiang Momo regretted it.

How could I be so worthless? I was already so humiliated yesterday, and today I still want to fawn over them.

However, people's behavior is often not based on reason.

Jiang Momo convinced herself in her heart.

She did this simply to maintain a superficial relationship.

After all, she would have to stay here for who knows how long, for her grandmother's sake.

Aunt Chen's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled.

"Something came up at the company, so President Li went there last night."

Having served at home for so many years, Aunt Chen is best at reading people's expressions and moods. Last night, she noticed that the atmosphere between Jiang Momo and Li Jiuyuan had become strange.

Although she didn't know why, Aunt Chen was very anxious.

Our CEO Li has finally met his wife; the two of them must cherish each other.

In an attempt to ease tensions between the two, Aunt Chen added, "Madam, please don't take it personally. Mr. Li specifically instructed us not to disturb you, which is why I didn't tell you."

Jiang Momo pursed her lips.

Don't you want to bother her?

Perhaps Li Jiuyuan is tired of him and that's why he's too lazy to say anything.

"I see."

She lowered her eyes, concealing the sadness in them.

Aunt Chen changed the subject: "Mr. Li isn't home, Madam must not have slept well last night. Your voice sounds hoarse, do you have a cold?"

After all, Jiang Momo got caught in the rain when she came back yesterday and didn't have time to drink the ginger soup.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Momo brushed past Aunt Chen and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going? Are you going to see President Li?" Aunt Chen couldn't help but ask expectantly.

She hoped more than anyone else that President Li and his wife could reconcile as soon as possible.

"no."

Before Aunt Chen asked, Jiang Momo had indeed considered going to find Li Jiuyuan.

But she was even more afraid that what happened last night would happen again.

So she shook her head and looked out the door.

The Li family villa was incredibly luxurious, with even the courtyard at the entrance spanning several hundred square meters. She smiled as she looked at the vibrant flowers blooming in the yard.

These flowers are blooming beautifully, and each one is quite valuable. We even have a professional gardener taking meticulous care of them every day.

Every brick and tile in the villa, even the flowers, are worth more than her.

Therefore, she was destined not to belong in this place.

It's best to avoid getting involved with the people here, especially that man.

"I'm going to the hospital."

Go see Grandma; she's the only person in the world who will never abandon her.

She misses her grandma.

Watching Jiang Momo leave, Aunt Chen sighed helplessly.

……

Jiang Momo took the subway to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Yin Qiongyun right at the door.

The other person greeted her excitedly.

"Momo, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"

She thought Jiang Momo was away on a business trip.

Jiang Momo forced a smile.

"Last night, it was too late and I didn't want to bother you."

"You're telling me this!"

Yin Qiongyun casually put her arm around Jiang Momo's shoulder.

In her other hand, she was carrying a bunch of supplements, which looked like they were for her grandmother.

"Ah Yun".

Jiang Momo's brows furrowed slightly as her gaze fell upon the large and small bags.

"Thank you, and... I'm sorry."

Despite being her own grandmother, Yin Qiongyun spent more time with her than she did, and it was always Yin Qiongyun who was bothering her.

She felt sorry for Yin Qiongyun, and even more sorry for her grandmother.

Yin Qiongyun was initially bewildered by Jiang Momo's sudden apology.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Following Jiang Momo's gaze, he instantly understood what she meant.

"Oh, do you have to be so polite with me? I've told you so many times, Grandma is family too, and I'm happy to treat her well!"

"If you keep saying that, I'm really going to get angry!"

"...Hmm." Jiang Momo responded with a soft "hmm," then remained silent, her expression showing no improvement whatsoever.

Even if she was slow to notice, Yin Qiongyun could tell that she was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yin Qiongyun looked worried and immediately asked with concern.

However, before Jiang Momo could answer, she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Jiang Momo's arm, and pulled her two steps to the side.

"Watch out! You almost ran into the wall!"
