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

Chapter 174 Like a Clown

Zhao Ning took the notebook, hesitated, and seemed to want to say something more.

As you can see, I was adamant, and he eventually left after saying only "thank you".

That evening, Jiang Yichen drove to the company parking lot and waited quietly for Gu Mo to get off work. However, it seemed that Grandpa Jiang had also received the news and rushed over as well.

He gently knocked on Jiang Yichen's car window, signaling him to get out. Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and coldly asked, "Uncle Jiang, is there something you need?" This address of "Uncle Jiang" made the old man Jiang feel uncomfortable, but remembering that Jiang Yichen was not his biological son, he forced a smile and coldly replied, "Although you cannot be the chairman of the company, I can hire you as the company manager so you can come back and continue working."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen slowly got out of the car, crossed his arms, looked at Old Master Jiang, and smiled playfully: "Isn't that a bad idea? Since I've already left the company, I shouldn't go back. Besides, there's no need for me to go back."

Seeing Jiang Yichen's cold attitude, Old Master Jiang stubbornly said, "I only thought of letting you come back to work because I see that you have made a lot of contributions to the company over the years. Don't be ungrateful." He thought that Jiang Yichen was unaware of what had happened in the company recently, and that as long as he put the overall situation first and generously invited Jiang Yichen back, Jiang Yichen would be grateful.

However, Jiang Yichen already knew everything about the company. He smiled meaningfully and asked, "Do you want to hire me back? Or is the company indispensable?" This question left Old Master Jiang speechless. He then realized that Jiang Yichen was not as simple as he had imagined.

"Don't push your luck!" Old Master Jiang explained angrily, his voice trembling with rage, making him look even more like a clown. Jiang Yichen looked at him, the mocking smile on his lips growing even more pronounced.

Grandpa Jiang got even angrier and scolded, "Come back or don't come back, don't come begging to me later!" Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, had a nonchalant expression and said in a light tone, "Fine, I also want to know who will beg whom."

Jiang Yichen's attitude thoroughly enraged Old Master Jiang. He felt as if he almost couldn't catch his breath and was about to faint. In the end, he could only come in a rage and leave in a rage.

Back home, Old Master Jiang flew into a rage, roaring, "Who does he think he is? How dare he talk to me like that! Does he think he's the president of the Jiang Group?" The woman sitting beside him (Old Master Jiang's wife) dared not speak, only frowning and sighing.

"Sir, what do we do now? If he really doesn't go back, what will happen to that project..." the old lady's daughter asked worriedly. Old Master Jiang snorted coldly, "Where else can he go if he doesn't go back to the company? I'd like to see which company would dare hire him!"

Seeing Old Master Jiang's anger, the older woman secretly plotted. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea came to her. She suggested, "I think that brat still cares about that wretched girl from the Gu family. Why don't we have that girl talk to him?"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang remained silent and began to ponder seriously. After a moment, he felt that what the old woman said did make some sense, so he nodded slightly and decided to try it out as she suggested.

But he was still filled with anger and resentment towards Jiang Yichen. He muttered to himself, "If you ask me, this brat is just spoiled rotten by his grandma! I'm willing to hire him at a high salary, and he still dares to refuse me!"

"Alright, alright, Grandpa, don't be angry anymore. If you get sick from anger, that would only benefit that brat." The aunt comforted Grandpa Jiang, while having someone bring him some nourishing soup. "Have some, and rest. Leave the rest to me. Look at how we are..." The aunt whispered her plans into Grandpa Jiang's ear.

Meanwhile, after get off work, I received a message from Jiang Yichen, asking me to come down to the underground parking lot to meet him. I was pleasantly surprised; I hadn't expected Jiang Yichen to come pick me up personally, and I felt a sweet warmth in my heart. I secretly glanced around; everyone else was still livestreaming, while mine had already ended. So I quietly left and ran to the underground parking lot. From afar, I saw Jiang Yichen's car, and a clear smile involuntarily appeared on my lips.

I jogged towards him in my high heels, asking coquettishly, "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here to pick me up today?"

Jiang Yichen laughed and hugged my waist, teasing me affectionately, "Well, what can I do? I'm unemployed now. I wonder if Miss Gu will look down on me."

I looked up, pretending to think, and after a long while answered, "What if I say I don't like it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's smile widened, and he said, "Then I'm afraid I can only find a corner to cry in secret." His tone was full of doting affection and helplessness, which made my heart even sweeter.

"Since our General Manager Jiang is so pitiful, I'll treat you to a good meal tonight," I said with a smile, trying to ease the tension.

Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow, looking at me thoughtfully, and asked, "So, Miss Gu, how do you intend to reward me? Is it with your body, or...?"

I quickly covered his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense, and said coquettishly, "You're getting more and more indecent. Let's go back quickly, or everyone will find us when they get off work."

Jiang Yichen, however, seemed unconcerned. He smiled slightly and said, "What? Is my current identity so shameful?"

I was a little annoyed. Why did Jiang Yichen seem so unsad, even more carefree and irresponsible than before? I frowned and looked at him seriously: "Are you hiding something from me? Why do I feel like you're happier after leaving the company?"

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He gently took my hand and said, "If I said I would support you, and all you had to do every day was eat, drink, and have fun, without doing anything else, would you be happy?"

I thought about it seriously, and I am indeed quite happy.

Jiang Yichen went around to the other side and opened the car door for me. "Get in quickly, Princess."

"Alright, this princess will reluctantly go with you today."

I pretended to be superior and played along with his act.

I suddenly realized that our current way of getting along is pretty good, and it would be even better if it could always be like this.

In the car, Jiang Yichen mentioned to me that Grandpa Jiang had contacted him and told me to be careful lately.

I frowned. The Jiang family had shot themselves in the foot this time.
