He really dotes on me so much

Chapter 101: Happiness and Pain

"Dearest, don't worry. Your company will be fine. I believe in Auntie, and Gu Nuannuan won't ignore her company's situation." Su Xiaomo looked at Jiang Xiaosu, baffled by his unwavering confidence.

Outdoors, Jiang Chenyu couldn't resist Gu Nuannuan's persistence. He ended up skipping class to take her to a café to meet Su Xiaomo's mom.

Early morning, the café was bustling with students and office workers. The three of them sat at a table.

Without a word, Su Xiaomo's mom stood up and knelt before Jiang Chenyu.

"Auntie! What are you doing?" Gu Nuannuan quickly helped her up, but Su Xiaomo's mom's gesture had already drawn attention.

Tearfully, Su Xiaomo's mom pleaded, "Mr. Jiang, please, don't take my daughter away."

Jiang Chenyu's face was cold. If it weren't for the Su family's past kindness to his sister, he wouldn't have tolerated such an abrupt act.

"Mrs. Su, it was your family that took my sister away fifteen years ago," Jiang Chenyu replied coldly.

Mrs. Su cried, "Mr. Jiang, I don't want Yanmo Group anymore. I'll give it to you, okay?" She took out a company transfer agreement from her bag, offering it to Jiang Chenyu without expecting anything in return. "Mr. Jiang, I'm giving you my life's work. Please, don't take Xiaomo away. She's my everything; I can't lose her."

Gu Nuannuan was moved to tears by Mrs. Su's pleas. She understood a parent's love deeply. Her own parents had refused to let her marry Jiang Chenyu, whom they'd never met, to protect her. Now, seeing Mrs. Su willing to give up her company for her daughter's sake was equally touching.

Gu Nuannuan handed Mrs. Su a tissue and sat beside her, gently wiping her tears. "Auntie, Xiaomo is fortunate to have met you."

Mrs. Su turned her hopes to Gu Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, you know how much I love Xiaomo. Please help me."

"Auntie, I'm sorry, but I can't help you," Gu Nuannuan said, looking at Mrs. Su. "You see your own and Uncle Su's sacrifices and the happiness of your family. But you took away my husband's happiness.

"My husband has been searching for his sister for fifteen years, from the age of thirteen to twenty-eight. My mother-in-law fell ill from worry and passed away because she couldn't find her daughter. Do you know what my husband carries? Guilt, remorse, and regret. The Jiang family could have been as happy as yours, but because of Xiaomo's disappearance, and then his mother's death, the Jiang family fell apart.

"My husband lost his home, his mother, and his sister at thirteen. Finding Xiaomo became his only hope. You can't selfishly think only of your family's happiness and expect my husband to give up his spiritual anchor to fulfill your wish. That's not going to happen."

Gu Nuannuan wiped her tears and placed the contract back into Mrs. Su's handbag. "You see Xiaomo as more important than your own life, but my husband sees her the same way. Every member of the Jiang family has been waiting for their little sister, their daughter. Have you thought about their feelings? Put yourself in their shoes, Auntie. My husband gave your family a month to adjust. He's not a saint; he has no obligation to keep considering your feelings. Please stop pushing him. The Jiang family will not give up on this."

By saying "our Jiang family," she made her stance clear.

Mrs. Su covered her face, crying. The elegant businesswoman was now the most helpless woman.

Jiang Chenyu watched his wife, who stood by him and spoke up for him, and felt warmth in his heart. Many things he couldn't say himself, but his wife understood and voiced them for him.
