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

Chapter 176 Despicable and Shameless

I leaned back lazily on the sofa, adopting a lord-like attitude, and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you to prepare food and a room for me."

Grandpa Jiang stared at me, a cold smile playing on his lips, and then gave the order in an unquestionable, serious tone: "Call Jiang Yichen immediately and tell him to come back to work!"

Faced with this sudden order, the rebellious fire deep within me was instantly ignited, and I stubbornly ignored it, disregarding its authority.

Seeing this, the old man merely gave a slight wink to the two attendants behind him, and they approached me like wolves and tigers, starting to grope me.

"Hey, what do you mean by this? Get to the point, don't resort to violence!"

I tried to dodge and protest, but ultimately I couldn't stop them from taking my phone.

I watched helplessly as Grandpa Jiang took my phone, preparing to dial Jiang Yichen's number. I couldn't help but frown, my heart filled with resentment.

I gritted my teeth, each word ringing out forcefully: "You are truly despicable and shameless."

However, their purpose is already obvious, and my protests and condemnations seem to be irrelevant.

As soon as the call connected, Grandpa Jiang pressed the speakerphone button without hesitation. On the other end of the line, Jiang Yichen's anxious voice instantly filled the room: "Gu Mo, how are you? Are you injured? Where are you now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yichen's series of urgent questions, I immediately understood that Song Yuan must have called him.

Otherwise, why would he ask me so directly and with such concern? I wanted to answer him and tell him I was alright, but that old bastard had his lips tightly covered, and I could only let out weak sobs, my heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

Grandpa Jiang spoke slowly, his tone leisurely and profound. He said slowly, "Gu Mo is safe and sound in the Jiang family, you can rest assured."

Upon hearing his voice, Jiang Yichen felt a sense of foreboding. After a moment of silence, his voice turned cold and sinister as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Grandpa Jiang said casually, "I just wanted you to go back to work at the company. Since you insist on refusing, I have no choice but to take some drastic measures."

Although Jiang Yichen had briefly mentioned that the old man wanted him to go back, I did not delve into it at the time.

However, it now seems that there must be some ulterior motive behind the old man's willingness to go to any lengths to bring Jiang Yichen back.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and bite the bodyguard next to me hard, shouting, "You can't agree to him!"

The older woman rushed forward and quickly pinned me down on the sofa.

Her hands pressed down on my mouth like iron clamps, leaving me only able to make "mmm" sounds.

I tried my best to stop Jiang Yichen from coming, but Jiang Yichen's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "I'll be right back."

I was furious and used all my strength to break free from the old woman's grasp.

Finally, after kicking her hard with both feet, she was in so much pain that she immediately let go.

Unfortunately, the call had already ended. I glared angrily at the people in front of me and demanded, "What exactly are you plotting?"

With a wave of his hand, Old Master Jiang said in a cold and resolute tone, "Tie her to the chair and gag her."

His commands were as cold as ice, sending chills down one's spine.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Old Master Jiang with a worried expression, her tone tinged with uncertainty: "Will he really come?"

Old Master Jiang leaned firmly on his cane, sitting upright in front of the door. His voice, though hoarse, revealed an undeniable determination: "He will definitely come. After all, this woman is currently in our hands."

Time ticked by, and with the long wait, my unease and anxiety grew stronger, fearing they might do something else behind my back.

I lowered my eyes, racking my brains for a way to escape this clutches, but the tight surveillance around me left me helpless.

As they were pondering this, the Jiang family's door was suddenly pushed open.

I looked up sharply and saw Jiang Yichen's travel-worn figure appear outside the door. He rushed over against the light, taking three steps at a time.

He kicked aside the bodyguards and the middle-aged woman who were trying to stop him, quickly untied the ropes binding me, and carefully tore off the duct tape covering my mouth. With a concerned look on his face, he asked, "How are you? Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"

I quickly shook my head, trying to swallow all my grievances and sadness, but my eyes still couldn't help but well up with tears.

I choked up and said, "I told you not to come, why did you still come?"

Immediately, I heard Grandpa Jiang clapping his hands in delight, a smug smile on his face. He said, "As long as you still care about Gu Mo, this matter will be easy to handle."

Jiang Yichen held me tightly behind him, turned back to look at Old Master Jiang with a firm gaze, and asked in a steady and powerful voice, "What is your real purpose in insisting that I return to the company?"

Old Master Jiang stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "I just want you to help me with some things."

Jiang Yichen nodded slightly, his tone firm: "I can agree to that, but after this matter is resolved, I hope you won't cause Gu Mo any more trouble. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang's lips curled into a playful smile. He said leisurely, "Is it worth it for a woman?"

Jiang Yichen's gaze was piercing, and he did not back down: "Didn't you also use a woman to threaten me? Now that I have agreed, can we leave now?"

His tone was filled with unwavering resolve.

"You can leave now, but Miss Gu may need to stay a while longer. She can only go back after you've finished dealing with things at the company," Old Master Jiang said, his tone resolute and leaving no room for doubt.

Fearing Jiang Yichen might disagree, he added, "But don't worry, I'll take good care of Gu Mo for you during this time. As soon as this is over, I'll send her back immediately."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned and said firmly, "Impossible. I'm taking him away right now. And I won't go back on my word like you have."

Grandpa Jiang didn't argue with him. He simply raised his finger slightly, and instantly, four bodyguards surrounded the two of them.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and oppressive.

"Then I'm sorry."

No sooner had Old Master Jiang finished speaking than the four bodyguards charged at them like tigers descending a mountain.

Jiang Yichen reacted quickly, pushing me aside in a flash, while he himself faced the attack of four people alone.
