"That's right, Jiang Yi staying at our house, even the people from the inner clan treat us respectfully. Many people want to curry favor with us. Furthermore, only by letting him be our son-in-law will he genuinely help our family," Ye Xiaofeng also said.
"No, we must find a way to have Jiang Yi and Yanran remarry, we can't drag it out any longer!"
Mother Ye said with a solemn expression, "Although Jiang Yi is just friends with Dongfang Mei, who knows if they will develop feelings for each other when they spend time together! Dongfang Mei is not only beautiful but also so wealthy. Any man would be tempted, let alone Jiang Yi."
Father Ye did not speak.
Actually, Father Ye also liked Jiang Yi. He had strongly opposed Ye Yanran divorcing Jiang Yi back then, but no one listened to him at the time.
If they had listened to him then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi was driving on his way home.
"You're a really incomprehensible person!"
Dongfang Mei, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Jiang Yi. "The Ye family treats you like this. If it were me, I would curse them out first. They heartlessly kicked you out of the Ye family before, and now they're shamelessly trying to win you over. Their faces are truly thick."
Dongfang Mei, still not appeased, continued, "Ye Xiaofeng isn't a good person either, actually deceiving you like a fool."
"The Ye family took me in back then!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. "I was very angry just now, but thinking about how their family took me in back then, I held back."
"I didn't expect you to be such a person who distinguishes between kindness and grievance."
Dongfang Mei smiled faintly.
"I was incompetent back then and was looked down upon by the Ye family. That was my own doing!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said self-mockingly, "The only thing that angered me was that Ye Yanran would propose divorce, disregarding so many years of affection. But my anger has subsided now, and nothing else matters."
Jiang Yi had completely let go of the Ye family's matters.
What Jiang Yi wanted to do most now was to find that killer organization and also the mastermind behind it, to avenge his parents and sister.
"Have you looked for that killer organization yet?" Jiang Yi asked Dongfang Mei.
"No, still looking!"
Dongfang Mei hesitated for a moment before speaking to Jiang Yi, "The family of that taxi driver encountered trouble on their way to being sent abroad."
"What trouble? Explain it clearly." Jiang Yi frowned.
"All the people I sent were killed, and the taxi driver's family went missing." Dongfang Mei did not intend to hide it.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a headache.
Earlier, Dongfang Mei had bragged that she could easily handle this matter, but now such a big incident had occurred.
Once the taxi driver found out about this, there would be no way to get him to speak.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this. With the influence of our Dongfang family, there's nothing we can't accomplish in China," Dongfang Mei said with a slight smile.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
With Dongfang Mei's confidence, perhaps she could find the taxi driver's family soon.
It was fine to leave this matter to Dongfang Mei.
What he needed to do was to wait and see.
That killer organization had failed to assassinate Dongfang Mei twice, so they would definitely plan for another assassination.
"How much influence does your Dongfang family have in China?" Jiang Yi asked.
Jiang Yi was somewhat curious.
"Our Dongfang family is one of the three major conglomerates in China. There are Dongfang family companies in every city in China, and Jiang City is no exception," Dongfang Mei said. "Not only in China, but we also have many Dongfang family companies abroad. We mainly deal in real estate, vehicle and ship manufacturing, and the most famous among them is He'er Appliances, which are exported domestically and internationally. We pay billions in taxes annually."
Jiang Yi was a little surprised.
He had always thought Dongfang Mei's family was rich, but he didn't expect them to be this wealthy.
They were practically rich enough to rival a nation.
"Why not become a live-in son-in-law of our Dongfang family? You'd have endless money, status, and anything you want for the rest of your life," Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a half-joking tone.
"I'm not interested in money!" Jiang Yi smiled.
"Then what are you interested in?"
Dongfang Mei revealed a charming smile that made one's bones go soft, deliberately teasing Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi could barely take it.
Suddenly, a car drove out from a nearby alley.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi immediately applied the brakes.
Dongfang Mei had no time to react, and since she wasn't wearing a seatbelt, her body crashed directly into Jiang Yi's arms.
Dongfang Mei's body stiffened, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Soon, Dongfang Mei recovered and quickly climbed out of Jiang Yi's embrace.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Seeing Dongfang Mei's demeanor, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
He hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to also have moments of awkwardness.
"You still have the nerve to laugh!"
Dongfang Mei knitted her brows.
Dongfang Mei was only feigning anger on her face; in her heart, she was secretly pleased.
This was the first time she had such close contact with Jiang Yi.
The car that came out of the alley, seeing that it almost caused an accident, was startled and fled in a hurry.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I'm fine!"
Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate, caring about people. I really don't understand what Ye Yanran was thinking to divorce you. If I were her, I'd be overjoyed."
Jiang Yi didn't respond.
Dongfang Mei often teased him; he wondered what her intentions were.
Seeing Jiang Yi remain silent and looking bored, Dongfang Mei felt a little disappointed.
After returning to the villa, Jiang Yi had just parked the car in the courtyard.
A servant ran over and said to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, a gentleman is here to see you and says he has something important to discuss with you."
Jiang Yi walked into the living room and found it was Chen Kun.
Seeing Jiang Yi return, Chen Kun quickly stood up from his chair, "Master Jiang..."
"Mhm!"
Jiang Yi sat down on the sofa and took a sip of tea before asking Chen Kun, "What do you need me for?"
"It's nothing major. I came to tell you that I have acquired ten companies and have incorporated them all under Tiansheng Group. Everything has been handled, and the opening ceremony can be held tomorrow," Chen Kun said quickly.
"I didn't expect you to be quite capable. You managed such a big matter in just three days," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"My capabilities are nothing compared to Master Jiang; they are not worth mentioning," Chen Kun said humbly.
"Besides treating illnesses, I have no other abilities," Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Chen Kun did not believe this at all.
"I won't be attending the opening ceremony. You can host it!" Su Dan Novel Network
Jiang Yi looked at Chen Kun.
"Don't tell anyone that I am the chairman of Tiansheng Group. If there's anything important that needs to be handled, you can deal with it."
