Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

When Jiang Momo received the call from Jingtailan's assistant, her first reaction was that it was a scam call.

She raised her hand as if to hang up.

Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, the person on the other end spoke again: "Ms. Jiang Momo, Mr. Jing would like to meet with you to have a chat. He would like to ask if you would be interested in coming to our company for an interview."

Jiang Momo paused, her fingers poised to hang up the phone.

Jingtailandi Company?

As an industry giant, Jingtailan owns many companies, but she spends most of her time overseeing an investment company.

This investment firm has weathered multiple economic cycles and remains at the top of the industry, possessing sufficient risk control capabilities and always accurately identifying emerging trends.

It can be said that all of this is thanks to Jingtailan's strength and investment acumen.

If she could get into this company, she could earn several times more money than she does now, and more likely raise her grandmother's medical expenses in the shortest amount of time.

Jiang Momo admitted that she was attracted to him.

But she still hesitated, worried that there might be problems.

After the other party indicated that they only needed her to attend an interview, Jiang Momo briefly lowered her guard.

Give it a try. Even if it's a long shot, it's better than doing nothing at all.

"I see."

After agreeing on an interview time with the other party, Jiang Momo hung up the phone.

Even at that moment, she still felt it was all very unreal.

It was as if an invisible hand was pushing her in this direction; everything was going too smoothly, even more smoothly than during her university years.

But her urgent desire to save her grandmother left her no time to think about anything else.

Let's make money first, and worry about everything else later.

Jiang Momo comforted herself, having been busy all day. Her grandmother's condition hadn't improved by evening, so Jiang Momo stayed with her until midnight before rushing back to the villa after her grandmother fell asleep.

As soon as Jiang Momo pushed open the villa door, the silent atmosphere inside sent chills down her spine.

The servants had all been dismissed, and the living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Momo's heart suddenly raced as she stepped into the darkness.

She tentatively called out, "Aunt Chen?"

Could it be that everyone is asleep at this hour?

What about Li Jiuyuan?

Jiang Momo held her breath, trying to keep her steps light, and carefully walked upstairs.

She had just passed the sofa when she suddenly heard a click, and the living room lights blazed on, the sudden light stinging Jiang Momo's eyes.

Just before she closed her eyes, she vaguely saw what appeared to be a man sitting on the sofa.

The man's face was grim, and his cold eyes were fixed on her.

Jiang Momo was startled and took two steps back.

When she opened her eyes again and her eyes adjusted to the light, Li Jiuyuan had already gotten up and walked over.

A tall figure blocked the light overhead, and Li Jiuyuan asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go today?"

Jiang Momo's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

What's wrong with this person? Sitting on the sofa in the middle of the night without the lights on, trying to scare someone to death.

Despite internally complaining a thousand times, Jiang Momo didn't dare utter a single word on her face.

I went for afternoon tea with my friends.

"afternoon tea?"

Li Jiuyuan's voice carried a hint of mockery. He looked out the window, gesturing for Jiang Momo to look as well, then raised an eyebrow:

"Is this afternoon tea or midnight tea?"

Jiang Momo choked.

She didn't dare tell the truth. In her haste, she could only make up an excuse. Even now that she realized how clumsy the excuse was, Jiang Momo could only grit her teeth and keep making it up.

"It was a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, so we went a bit too far in our conversation."

Before Li Jiuyuan could continue questioning her, Jiang Momo changed the subject.

"Ninth Master, when did you get back? Why didn't you go upstairs to rest?"

Li Jiuyuan turned his gaze back and lightly landed on her.

Just as Jiang Momo thought the man was about to say something like "he was waiting for her," Li Jiuyuan said instead:

"Just got back, something came up at the company and I was delayed."

Jiang Momo breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he wasn't waiting for me. Otherwise, if this guy had gotten angry after waiting for half a day, I don't know how I would have had to coax him.

"Then I'll go wash up first. Ninth Master, you should get some rest too."

Jiang Momo tiptoed, ready to run.

He was dragged back again.

"return."

Li Jiuyuan was very impatient.

Jiang Momo was deflated. Too much had happened today, and she could hardly muster any energy. She could only look up with a pitiful expression, like a rabbit begging for pity.

"Is there anything else you need, Ninth Master?"

When Li Jiuyuan met Jiang Momo's eyes, which seemed to be filled with tears, his heart skipped a beat and he closed his eyes.

"Alright."

He took the initiative to let go of Jiang Momo.

"Go ahead, get ready tomorrow, and come back to my hometown with me for a banquet."

Jiang Momo, who had thought she was finally free, was suddenly stunned upon hearing this.

She pointed to herself and said, "Me?"

"you."

Li Jiuyuan's words were concise and to the point.

Jiang Momo was in a real bind.

Putting aside the fact that she not only has to go to her part-time job tomorrow, but also has to go to the hospital to take care of her grandmother, she also doesn't know how many people she will run into at the banquet tomorrow. What if she accidentally exposes her identity if there are acquaintances among them?

"Is it a family dinner?" Jiang Momo asked tentatively, still holding onto a sliver of hope.

Li Jiuyuan's words shattered her hopes completely.

"No, not really. Many partners and relatives will also be coming."

Jiang Momo was on the verge of tears, her mind racing as she tried to find an excuse.

"I just remembered, actually I'm supposed to be tomorrow..."

You have to go tomorrow.

Li Jiuyuan's tone left no room for refusal.

"As my newlywed wife, if she doesn't attend tomorrow, it will likely attract more gossip, which wouldn't be good for the Li family."

"Or is it that you feel it's not grand enough?" Li Jiuyuan's gaze was deep. "How about I hold a press conference to announce your identity to the entire internet, or we can hold the wedding ahead of schedule?"

Jiang Momo hurriedly waved her hand.

"No need, I think it's fine as it is."

"Haha... I'm just worried that I'll embarrass you."

Jiang Momo's heart was bleeding. Since things had come to this, she could only go and participate, while constantly praying in her heart that nothing would go wrong tomorrow.

After saying all this, Jiang Momo was completely exhausted. Fortunately, Li Jiuyuan finally agreed to let her go.

Just as I was about to slip away again, my phone rang at that inopportune moment.

The melodious sound of bells echoed through the empty villa.

She couldn't pretend nothing had happened, so she took out her phone, looking completely bewildered.

At this point, who would call her?

Looking at the unfamiliar number above, Jiang Momo felt a very ominous premonition.

She frantically tried to hang up, but in the blink of an eye, Li Jiuyuan reached out and snatched the phone from her hand.

Li Jiuyuan turned the screen around, glanced at the unfamiliar numbers on it, and then his gaze fell on Jiang Momo.

"Who is this?"

The tone was calm, yet it was enough to stir up a storm in Jiang Momo's heart.

"It's just a nuisance call, just hang up."

Jiang Momo tried to snatch the phone back, but Li Jiuyuan took a step back and raised the phone high at the same time.

"They probably won't call you this late, will they?"

The next second, Li Jiuyuan pressed the answer button in front of Jiang Momo.
