“Why?” Liu Yuan was indignant.
“Ever since our Dongfang family partnered with Tiansheng Group, all of us have made a lot of money and gained many benefits. If Dongfang Mei marries Jiang Yi, we will be one family. This is a good thing for the Dongfang family, allowing us to possess even greater strength!” Dongfang Teng said.
“Exactly. If you try to break up Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei, you are sabotaging our good fortune and making an enemy of us!”
“Liu Yuan, just stop it! We all know what you’re thinking. You just want to deal with Jiang Yi. We don’t have a problem with you dealing with Jiang Yi, but you cannot use our Dongfang family to deal with Jiang Yi. You are not part of the Dongfang family, and you have no right to boss us around!”
“Liu Yuan, you’re acting like a clown right now. None of us want to bother with you!”
…
They all started talking at once.
Liu Yuan was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
He had originally intended to rally the Dongfang family to deal with Jiang Yi, but to his surprise, everyone in the Dongfang family stood on Jiang Yi’s side.
Liu Yuan had miscalculated!
“What kind of company is Tiansheng Group, and what is its relationship with Jiang Yi?” Liu Yuan asked.
Liu Yuan was not convinced!
“Tiansheng Group was founded by Jiang Yi. It’s a large company in the capital!”
Dongfang Xun said.
“What’s so great about Tiansheng Group!”
Liu Yuan scoffed disdainfully, “I have many large companies overseas. If you help me teach this kid a lesson today, I will give you even greater benefits! The benefits I give you are incomparable to the benefits Jiang Yi offers!”
Liu Yuan was very proud!
“Large companies in China are nothing in front of us overseas entrepreneurs! They aren’t even considered small companies!” Liu Yuan said proudly.
No one spoke, and their faces showed displeasure.
Ever since Liu Yuan returned, he had been arrogant and domineering, showing no regard for anyone. He thought that being a foreign national made him superior.
The Dongfang family had long been fed up with him. Because he was Liu Hong’s elder brother, no one dared to say anything.
“Uncle, you look down on our Chinese business world too much. Our Chinese business world has developed economically and is no longer the impoverished China of the past!” Dongfang Xun said angrily.
“Exactly. Even having a company overseas doesn’t make you great!”
The others also started to chime in.
This made Liu Yuan very unhappy.
“That’s enough!”
Liu Hong slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Liu Yuan, and said, “Jiang Yi and Xiao Mei’s matters are their own business. You shouldn’t cause trouble. I’ve always thought Jiang Yi is quite good.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuan’s expression turned very unpleasant.
He hadn’t expected that even Liu Hong would now stand with Jiang Yi.
In fact, Liu Yuan’s trouble with Jiang Yi wasn’t because he felt Jiang Yi wasn’t good enough for Dongfang Mei, but because he deliberately wanted to provoke Jiang Yi.
“Fine, I understand now!”
Liu Yuan snorted, “You are siding with an outsider to bully me. You have never considered me as one of your own.”
“It’s not that we don’t consider you one of our own, but your actions are a bit too much!”
Dongfang Xun said directly, “None of us are fools. We know that under the guise of Jiang Yi not being worthy of my sister, you are deliberately trying to cause trouble for Jiang Yi.”
“That’s right!” Liu Hong also said.
Seeing that his true intentions had been seen through, Liu Yuan felt a sense of relief.
“Jiang Yi is not a good person at all!”
Liu Yuan grumbled, “If you let Jiang Yi become the Dongfang family’s son-in-law, you will regret it sooner or later!”
“That’s enough!”
Liu Hong’s gaze fell on Liu Yuan, and she said, “You are a guest. You’ve finally returned from abroad. Just enjoy your food, drinks, and fun. We will handle the Dongfang family’s affairs ourselves!”
Liu Hong began to persuade him kindly.
“I just can’t stand Jiang Yi!” Liu Yuan huffed.
“Enough!”
The smile on Liu Hong’s face vanished.
“I’ve heard all about your dealings with Jiang Yi. It’s clear that you deliberately provoked Jiang Yi, suffered a loss, didn’t reflect on it, and repeatedly sought trouble with him. I’m telling you, I’ve already considered Jiang Yi as my son-in-law. If you are unhappy about it, you can return to your country. Don’t cause trouble at our home.”
Liu Hong’s attitude completely changed!
Anyone would change their attitude when encountering someone like Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was far too self-important.
“Second sister, you’ve disappointed me so much. You’re turning against me for an outsider. Fine, if you regret it later, don’t come looking for me!”
Liu Yuan said angrily, “I planned to open a big company after returning to China this time, and I originally intended to give the Dongfang family some benefits. But now, it seems completely unnecessary!”
After speaking, Liu Yuan left the villa in anger.
Jiang Yi shrugged. If this had not been the Dongfang family’s home, Jiang Yi would not have let Liu Yuan leave so easily today.
He had said that if Liu Yuan caused him trouble again, he would not let him off.
“Jiang Yi, please don’t take what happened just now to heart!”
Liu Hong said, “Don’t worry, we will always stand by you. If anyone wants to destroy your relationship with Xiao Mei, our entire Dongfang family will not let them off.”
“Thank you, Aunt Liu!” Jiang Yi said.
“No need to thank me. We are already family!”
Liu Hong said, “Alright, let’s not dwell on these unpleasant things. Since you’re here, have a good meal with us. I remember it’s been a while since you last joined us for dinner. Come more often in the future, and treat this place as your own home.”
After speaking, Liu Hong started to attend to them.
Jiang Yi did not stand on ceremony. He sat down, and when the food and drinks were served, he began to eat and drink.
Many members of the Dongfang family came over to toast Jiang Yi.
Now, Jiang Yi was very popular in the Dongfang family.
The reason was simple: after the Dongfang family partnered with Tiansheng Group, these Dongfang family members had gained considerable benefits.
They knew very well that only by maintaining good relations with Jiang Yi could they obtain more benefits.
If it were in the past, they would have given Jiang Yi the cold shoulder long ago.
“Congratulations, you’ve become the most popular person in our family!”
Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a smile.
“This is all thanks to you!”
Jiang Yi said, “If you hadn’t proposed our cooperation, your Dongfang family members wouldn’t like me this much.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei’s face showed a hint of pride.
Dongfang Mei had indeed made significant contributions this time.
After the meal, Jiang Yi left Dongfang Mei’s house.
Dongfang Mei originally wanted to see Jiang Yi off, but Jiang Yi refused.
