"I won't ask anymore." Since Jiang Chenyu wanted to buy a house, the assistant assumed he must know its purpose. So, the assistant asked again, "President, how many rooms do you want this time? Is it a villa or a foreign-style house? Is it for investment or living? Are there any specific requirements for the location? What is the upper limit of funds?"
Jiang Chenyu held the phone tightly and said in a low voice, "Have you worked in a real estate agency?"
The assistant was terrified and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I swear, everything on my resume is true. This is just the first time I'm helping you buy a house, so I don't know your specific requirements."
Jiang Chenyu responded impatiently, "A villa, independent, in the suburbs, with no budget limit."
"Yes, yes, I'll find something suitable for you, President."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chenyu turned and went upstairs.
He really couldn't stay with the Jiang family anymore. Originally, he had intended to let Wei Aihua handle Gu Nuannuan, but in the end, it was Gu Nuannuan who fought back.
Now, the Jiang family was getting more and more chaotic.
Every day at work, his mind was constantly focused on home.
Logically, he didn't need to worry about Gu Nuannuan. But no matter what, his mind kept conjuring up scenes where Gu Nuannuan was being mistreated at the Jiang family. As a result, his work efficiency had significantly dropped.
To resolve this issue, he needed to buy a house and move out immediately.
He had a personal attachment to the Ye Nan Villa, as it was a home he had personally supervised, designed, and built. He didn't want an unrelated woman living there.
He had to buy another house as a temporary solution.
Once that was done, he just had to wait for Gu Nuannuan to come home and tell her they were moving out.
He waited and waited, but by nine o'clock in the evening, there was still no sign of Gu Nuannuan.
He called her, only to find that her phone was ringing from between the sofa cushions.
Gu Nuannuan had gone out without her phone?!
Realizing this, Jiang Chenyu immediately went out to look for her. He stopped a servant and asked, "Have you seen the second young master's wife?"
"Second young master, no."
Jiang Chenyu frowned, unsure of where she had gone.
So, he headed to the monitoring room.
After Gu Nuannuan had been pulled out by the servant in the afternoon, she had broken free and walked out alone.
It had been four hours since she left the Jiang family's gate.
Jiang Chenyu sat in the monitoring room, his brows furrowed, never relaxing.
He pressed his index finger to his lips. "She's the type of person who wouldn't go back to her parents' home if she was upset, so where would she go?"
Jiang Chenyu couldn't figure it out. As time passed, he grew increasingly anxious.
It was getting late, and the thought of her possibly being in trouble worried him.
He began searching for her aimlessly, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
...
Haihua Mansion.
Gu Nuannuan, angry with her husband's family, had run out on her own in the afternoon. Once outside, she realized she hadn't brought her phone or wallet.
Not wanting to worry her parents, Gu Nuannuan had to ask her good friend Su Xiaomo for help.
Su Xiaomo's family was well-off. Her father was a police officer, her brother also worked at the police station, and her mother was a businesswoman. Although Su Xiaomo wasn't as famous as Gu Nuannuan, no one in Z City, Dongguo, dared to provoke her.
She also had a brother who doted on her—Su Linyan, five years older than her.
Anyone who saw how much Su Linyan doted on his sister would be envious.
As long as Su Xiaomo asked for something, there was nothing Su Linyan wouldn't do.
She was the youngest daughter in the Su family and was thoroughly spoiled.
Gu Nuannuan and Su Xiaomo had met by chance, and unexpectedly, their personalities were so similar that they quickly became best friends.
Gu Nuannuan had only confided in Su Xiaomo about the Jiang family's forced marriage.
