As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Momo could almost feel the Jiang couple's gritted teeth.

But with Li Jiuyuan present, the two dared not reveal their true feelings.

Jiang's mother suppressed her anger and forced a smile.

"Weiwei, are you really not getting up? You're so old, don't stay in bed."

Jiang Momo found it amusing.

She revealed a pair of innocent, doe-like eyes, looking pure and pitiful, and spoke in a coquettish tone:

"Mom, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Jiang Momo suddenly thought that Jiang Weiwei must usually act coquettishly towards the Jiang couple at home.

She was also their child, but their treatment of her was completely different from how they treated Jiang Weiwei.

Seeing the Jiang couple suffer a setback, Jiang Momo felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Since she and they both had each other's weaknesses, why wouldn't she want to cause them some trouble?

Li Jiuyuan looked at his shy little wife in his arms and slightly curled his lips.

He stepped aside, completely blocking everyone's view of Jiang Momo, and said, "President Jiang, would you like to continue watching?"

Jiang's father was furious and gave Jiang's mother a meaningful look.

The two had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

The room fell silent as the door clicked shut and locked, and Jiang Momo could only hear each other's breathing.

Soon, she heard Li Jiuyuan's soft laughter from above. She looked up and met Li Jiuyuan's dark eyes.

"gentlemen……"

Jiang Momo, having just finished intimidating others, felt inexplicably guilty and shrank back further.

The man, who had been sitting sideways beside her, now pressed down on her, blocking out the entire ceiling.

"Didn't you say your friend was sick? Your friend...recovered so quickly?"

Jiang Momo's features scrunched up in distress.

She rushed over in anger because she knew something had happened to the caregiver, but little did she know that Li Jiuyuan had also arrived.

Seeing that Jiang Momo did not answer, Li Jiuyuan once again closed the distance between the two of them.

"And why didn't you tell me you were going home?"

Faced with Li Jiuyuan's repeated questioning, Jiang Momo couldn't answer and rolled over to the other side of the blanket.

The scent of the bedding was the same as Jiang Weiwei's usual scent, which made Jiang Momo feel nauseous.

"Stop hiding, speak up."

Li Jiuyuan stretched out his long arm and pulled the person into his arms.

"I just think you're too busy and I don't want to bother you."

Jiang Momo's eyes still bore the red marks from her earlier anger, making her look pitiful.

It seemed like deliberate seduction.

But she herself was probably unaware of it.

A glint of light flashed in Li Jiuyuan's eyes.

The next second, Li Jiuyuan's aura completely enveloped Jiang Momo, even overpowering the nauseating smell that belonged to Jiang Weiwei.

"No matter how busy I am, I still find time to accompany my wife on her homecoming visit."

"But since you're tired, let's get some rest."

After he finished speaking, he actually went to hold Jiang Momo and fall asleep.

Jiang Momo felt a jolt in her heart.

He pushed Li Jiuyuan away and sat up.

She said those things just now to annoy Jiang's parents.

But if you really want her to spend the night in Jiang Weiwei's room, it's better to let her sleep on the street.

She felt extremely disgusted whenever she thought of Jiang Weiwei.

"Um?"

Li Jiuyuan's voice came from behind her. Jiang Momo took a deep breath, her face flushed, and looked down at Li Jiuyuan, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Mr. Li, let's go home."

"Back...to our home."

Li Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with her words, and chuckled softly.

"Okay, whatever you say."

He raised his hand, and Jiang Momo obediently placed it in his palm.

She revealed her luscious red lips and rubbed her cheek against him.

Jiang Momo knew very well that the man in front of her was her only bargaining chip to control the Jiang family. Only by making him happy and getting through this year well could her grandmother have any hope of surviving.

She would do anything for that.

But when she thought about how Li Jiuyuan had stood up for her earlier, and felt the warmth of his palm, Jiang Momo couldn't help but think about it.

If this temperature could truly belong to her, even for just a second, it would be enough.

Li Jiuyuan looked at Jiang Momo, his gaze darkening.

……

After the two left, Jiang Weiwei, who had only been able to hide in the nanny's room in her panic, kicked open the door and came out.

She brushed off non-existent dust from her body, her chest heaving with anger.

"Mom! That wretched girl Jiang Momo, how dare she come into my room!"

Although she was hiding, Jiang Weiwei still knew what was happening outside.

The thought of her room being tainted with the shabby, rural atmosphere of Jiang Momo almost made Jiang Weiwei cry.

Jiang's mother immediately came over with heartache and hugged her precious child to comfort her.

"Weiwei, don't rush, be careful not to upset the baby or harm your health."

Jiang Weiwei's mother didn't care about the child in her belly; to be honest, she hated it to death.

If she hadn't had a child, she wouldn't have needed to bring back a wild girl from the countryside to replace Weiwei and live a good life.

But she was afraid that she might hurt Jiang Weiwei herself.

"Dad, Mom!" Jiang Weiwei stomped her foot angrily, "I'm going to replace the entire bedroom!"

"Okay, okay," Jiang's mother agreed.

"The floor needs to be torn up, and the walls need to be repainted!"

"I'll do whatever you say, Weiwei, please sit down."

Jiang Weiwei looked indignant, but in the end she followed her mother to sit down.

The sensible nanny immediately brought over ginseng soup, which Jiang's mother presented to Jiang Weiwei, coaxing her to drink it.

Jiang's father, who was standing nearby, also offered words of comfort.

"Now that President Li is here, let that wild girl be smug. How long she can laugh behind our backs is up to Weiwei to decide."

This statement inspired Jiang Weiwei.

She almost forgot that she still had that old hag in her hands.

Jiang Weiwei felt much better, but a sinister look appeared on her face.

"Jiang Momo, we'll see."

……

On her way home, Jiang Momo gazed at the street scenes rushing past outside the window.

I wonder if Grandma has woken up yet?

In the past, whenever my grandmother was sick and needed emergency treatment, I would stay by her side after she woke up.

I wonder if she'll worry about me since I left so quickly this time.

In the reflection of the car window, Jiang Momo could see the sharp contours of a face, and all that remained in her heart was panic.

There's something fishy about what happened today. Li Jiuyuan might not have believed his previous explanation.

How should she explain this?

Jiang Momo's mind raced as she pondered what she would say next.

Unexpectedly, she remained anxious the entire way, and even after the car entered the suburban villa area, Li Jiuyuan still didn't ask.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Jiuyuan's cold voice rang out.

Are you short of money?

"Huh?" Jiang Momo didn't react.

She looked at Li Jiuyuan helplessly, and when he gestured with his eyes, Jiang Momo looked at herself.

Only then did I notice that the canvas bag I always carried had a big hole in it, revealing a piece of black fabric inside.

It was the black bodycon dress she wore when she was a tomato tester at the club.

Her face instantly flushed red.

I was in such a rush today that I accidentally packed my bodycon skirt along with the bag.

Not only that, he carried his bag and ran around all day, even going to the Li family's old house.

"What's in here?"
