Before this, she thought it was Jiang Weiwei doing it to get revenge on her or Li Shiqing doing it on purpose.

Thankfully, none of them were the case, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

After she gave her statement, the police asked her to leave her phone number and her family's contact information.

"Young lady, you're really brave. If it were any other girl, the thief would probably have succeeded by now."

"However, we still have to remind you that if you encounter something like this again, be sure to find a corner and call the police first."

Jiang Momo wrote down her name and phone number neatly, but struggled with the family section.

She answered the police officer's question:

"I understand, but I don't like to place my hopes on others."

She should have called the police, but she didn't have the chance at the time, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

The police officer didn't say much, but seeing her hesitation, he very considerately spoke up:

"Is it inconvenient at home? If you really can't write it down, that's okay too."

This person is treating her like an orphan with no family members left.

Jiang Momo sighed helplessly and thought about it again and again.

I can't write about Grandma; she'll definitely worry if she finds out.

After much deliberation, she finally filled in Li Jiuyuan's number.

"Who is this person?"

The officer asked curiously.

Jiang Momo calmly replied, "He is my husband."

We're just not very familiar with each other.

She didn't say what came next directly, of course. The police officer knew about the relationship between the number owner and her, and even offered to have the person come and pick up Jiang Momo.

"It's so late, it's not safe for you to be on the road."

"No!"

Jiang Momo refused outright.

Not wanting to trouble Li Jiuyuan, she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the police station, I saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

The man leaned against the car door, his profile bathed in the soft light and shadow.

He looked at her intently.

It's Li Jiuyuan who's here.

Jiang Momo inevitably slowed her pace, forced herself to walk over, and gave a sullen smile.

"Ninth Master, what brings you here so late?"

"Waiting for someone."

Li Jiuyuan's words were concise and to the point, clearly indicating that he was somewhat angry.

Jiang Momo couldn't understand it, but the other person opened the car door and got in.

She got into the car.

The car window rolled down, and the night view flashed by at lightning speed.

The nights in this city are also very long. Even as it gets close to midnight, there are still many people working hard at their desks and rushing around in the night.

Compared to them, my life is much better now. At least there is hope that things will get better.

Jiang Momo was lost in her own thoughts and didn't even notice when Li Jiuyuan's voice came.

"Why didn't you call me before this happened?"

Li Jiuyuan questioned in a cold voice.

Jiang Momo followed her heart and replied, "There's no need."

She would have been better off calling the police.

If what Li Jiuyuan was asking was why he wasn't notified when he arrived at the police station, then Jiang Momo felt it was even more unnecessary.

The facts are clear, and she wasn't in any danger, so what's Li Jiuyuan doing here?

On the contrary, it is very easy to be photographed.

She certainly didn't want to wake up the next morning to find headlines like "Beijing tycoon Li Jiuye enters police station late at night: Is this a sign of the decline of the elite or a crisis in business?" trending on social media.

Jiang Momo was already used to handling these things herself.

After Grandma fell ill, she got used to being alone and did everything by herself.

Even when I go out for part-time work, I'm always alone.

Two years ago, she encountered an exhibitionist on her way home from a part-time job.

Once the other party exposes themselves, they run away. Jiang Momo did the same: she endured it all, called the police, resolved the issue, and went home.

Aside from her grandmother, she doesn't need anyone else in her life.

"no need?"

Li Jiuyuan suddenly slammed on the brakes. Jiang Momo felt a sharp pain in her chest from the seatbelt. She looked at him in surprise.

Why is Li Jiuyuan so angry?

It was a red light at that moment, and the red glow shone down, landing on Li Jiuyuan's sharp and deep features.

He didn't look at Jiang Momo, his voice cold:

"In your mind, no matter what happens, there's no need to tell me?"

of course.

Jiang Momo thought to herself.

After all, her relationship with Li Jiuyuan was fake, and they would separate sooner or later. Jiang Momo knew this, but on the surface, she could only coax Li Jiuyuan.

"Ninth Master, I was just afraid of bothering you. Actually, I'm also scared inside. I'll definitely tell you next time."

This explanation was reasonable and well-founded, and Jiang Momo felt that Li Jiuyuan should have no reason to be angry.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiuyuan became even angrier.

The vehicle started again, and Li Jiuyuan scoffed softly:

"Yes, that's always been your way."

His voice drifted into the wind, and Jiang Momo couldn't hear it clearly, but she could sense Li Jiuyuan's temper.

Not knowing how to coax her, or even if she could, she started pretending to be dead.

Li Jiuyuan's grip on the steering wheel tightened.

This woman has always been like this.

She's tenacious and will deliberately show off, whether she was the little girl back then or Jiang Momo now.

The only difference is that the person who once promised to protect him forever no longer needs him.

They also completely forgot about their past.

Jiang Momo didn't know why Li Jiuyuan was so fixated on this point, since she herself had nothing to do with it.

On the contrary, she hit him with a lot of force, and the man suffered a concussion from the blow...

In the days that followed, Li Jiuyuan rarely returned home.

For many days in a row, Jiang Momo did not see Li Jiuyuan.

I've only heard Aunt Chen mention it a few times, mostly about how Li Jiuyuan went home at night, checked on Xiao Mo, and then left.

"This person..."

Jiang Momo was helpless.

"Madam, would you like to try and appease President Li? Why don't you try cooking and going to his company?"

Aunt Chen saw this and was also very anxious.

He wanted to find a way to ease the tension between his wife and President Li.

After all these years, Madam is the first person to enter President Li's heart. Since Madam came to the villa, President Li has smiled more, and the villa has become more lively.

Jiang Momo shook her head and refused: "Let's do it another day."

She was almost finished with her work, and after that, she had to go see her grandmother first.

As for Li Jiuyuan?

We'll talk about it later.

She took out her phone and looked through the photos that Yin Qiongyun had sent her yesterday when she visited her grandmother.

Grandma's complexion has improved recently, which seems to be thanks to the new caregiver.

Jiang Momo was thinking about whether to give the caregiver a red envelope when she happened to see half of the caregiver's figure and the lower half of her profile in the photo.

"This face... seems vaguely familiar?"

……

Inside the hospital ward, Grandma Jiang lay on her bed, watching the caregivers bustling around the room.

"Qiaoqiao, stop busy, come sit down and rest for a while."

Yang Qiao paused while wiping the table.

"It's alright, Grandma, this is my job."

She continued working with one hand, but her expression darkened considerably, while her other hand quietly slipped into her bag.

Inside was a plastic bottle that Li Shiqing had given her this morning.

Li Shiqing's threatening voice echoed in my ears:

"Yang Qiao, have you thought this through? If we can't get this done today, don't blame me for disregarding our years of friendship."
