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

Chapter 207 They kept it a secret so well.

As soon as Gu Bai spoke, his father's expression turned serious. He glared at Gu Bai and pretended to be angry, saying, "You brat, I'm still alive. Do you think I'd let your mother go find another man?"

Mom was amused by Dad's words. She patted his hand and comforted him, "Okay, I know you're jealous. But I was just joking. With you here, how could I possibly want to look for anyone else?"

After reassuring my parents, Gu Bai gently knocked on my bedroom door. My voice betrayed a hint of weariness as I replied, "Come in."

Gu Bai, holding a glass of warm milk, gently pushed open the door, walked to the table, and carefully placed the milk on it. Then, he sat down beside my bed, his eyes full of curiosity and concern: "I vaguely heard you and Dad talking about 'Gu's bankruptcy' just now. Are you investigating something?"

I gazed at my younger brother, my heart filled with mixed emotions, and remained silent for a long time. After much deliberation, I realized that undertaking this investigation alone would indeed be quite difficult, and perhaps having an assistant would be more helpful.

Finally, I spoke slowly, my voice low and firm: "I want to find out whether our family's bankruptcy is related to Jiang Yichen."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai's face flashed with surprise: "Why would you suspect Jiang Yichen? Do you have any solid evidence?"

I shook my head slightly, a hint of helplessness in my eyes: "I don't have any solid evidence yet, but the investigation is still ongoing. The most crucial thing is that the project our family was working on has now fallen into Jiang Yichen's hands."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai fell into deep thought. After a moment, although he still had doubts, he had to admit the complexity of reality: "To be honest, I don't think this matter has anything to do with Jiang Yichen. Even if that project is in his hands right now, it doesn't prove anything."

“Actually, I had similar doubts when my family first went bankrupt.” I sighed and continued, “I also investigated the matter from multiple angles.”

Although Gu Bai expressed his opinion, we also lack conclusive evidence to prove that my family's bankruptcy was completely unrelated to Jiang Yichen.

In the afternoon, I returned to the Jiang family home, just as Grandma and the servant were preparing to go out for a medical check-up. As soon as Grandma saw me, a kind smile immediately lit up her face, and she asked with concern, "Why didn't you stay home a little longer? Why are you back so soon?"

I smiled and replied, "Grandma, I suddenly remembered that you were going to the hospital for a check-up today, so I came back early. Besides, I can come home anytime; the most important thing is to spend time with you."

After hearing this, Grandma nodded in satisfaction, patted my hand, and said happily, "Good, good, Grandma will be even happier with you by my side."

Grandma has been in a wheelchair for some time now, and our whole family sincerely hopes that today's hospital check-up will bring some positive changes and perhaps improve Grandma's condition.

Along the way, to ease Grandma's tension, I told her many interesting stories, which made her laugh continuously, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

When we arrived at the hospital and saw the doctors and nurses busily conducting various examinations for Grandma, I held my breath and stayed by her side with tense and focused attention.

After the doctor finished the examination, I anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is my grandmother's condition now?"

The doctor carefully examined the grandmother's test results, adjusted his glasses, and said softly, "The patient's condition is gradually improving. She can now begin some simple rehabilitation exercises, which will be beneficial to her recovery. However, it is essential to ensure she gets adequate rest; otherwise, her heart condition may not be able to handle it."

I squatted down to be at eye level with my grandmother and asked softly, "Grandma, we've been quite active today. How about I come and help you with your rehabilitation another day? I'm mainly worried that your heart might not be able to handle it."

Grandma nodded kindly and said, "Let's do it your way. But we can go and take a look at the rehabilitation machine first, and then decide whether or not we need to do rehabilitation."

Looking into my grandmother's slightly cloudy yet bright eyes, I knew deep down she longed to stand up again. This longing made her so eager to visit the rehabilitation center.

So, I pushed my grandmother in her wheelchair and brought her to the rehabilitation center.

Here, professional nurses guide us on a tour and walk around the area.

I never expected to run into Lin Nan at the rehabilitation center.

She was clutching a file folder tightly in her hand, looking hurried.

She bumped into me by accident.

I instinctively reached out to help the other person.

"Thank you."

The cold, desolate voice caught my attention.

"Lin Nan?"

I exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Nan clearly hadn't expected to run into us here. He paused for a moment, then greeted us warmly, "Hello, Grandma Jiang! Oh, isn't this Xiao Nan? It's been so long! How have you been?"

Grandma was also beaming with joy, and she took Lin Nan's hand and started chatting with her affectionately.

I stood to the side, watching them chat happily, and felt inexplicably awkward.

Just as my thoughts were wandering, Grandma suddenly took my hand and introduced me to Lin Nan, saying, "This is my granddaughter-in-law. You don't know her yet, do you?"

Lin Nan relaxed her brows and said with a smile, "Grandma, I know her. She's Jiang Yichen's wife, Gu Mo, right?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma smiled even more broadly: "Yes, yes, that's her."

Then, Grandma warmly invited Lin Nan to her home for dinner: "What a coincidence! Come over for dinner today!"

Lin Nan politely declined, saying, "Thank you, Grandma, but I have some things to take care of, so I won't go. I'll visit you another day when I have time."

After Lin Nan left, Grandma turned to look at me, her eyes filled with warmth and comfort: "Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen have a very good relationship, and she has indeed given Jiang Yichen a lot of help in his career. Child, don't mind Lin Nan's existence; she is a good person and a capable child."

I lowered my head, my voice barely audible, and murmured to myself, "I have no right to mind..."

Grandma gently patted the back of my hand and said tenderly, "Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen are just classmates abroad, at most comrades-in-arms. Jiang Yichen is an upright person, I believe in him, he would never do anything to betray you."

Upon hearing this, I looked surprised. I looked up at my grandmother with doubt in my eyes and thought to myself, "Jiang Yichen has kept it a secret so well. Grandma doesn't even know that he is engaged to Lin Nan."

"I know, Grandma, don't worry!"
