Chapter 272 Marrying into a Prominent Family

“A scumbag like Sun Shicai deserves to die!” Dongfang Mei said.

Dongfang Mei was angry, but she didn't directly blame Jiang Yi.

She didn't understand why Jiang Yi did what he did, but she knew Jiang Yi might have his reasons.

“Speak! Why did you do this? I want to know the reason.” Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi.

“The reason is simple!”

Jiang Yi said, “Sun Shicai is doing something for me. After he finishes, I will hand him over to President Bai. Someone like Sun Shicai deserves to die, why would I save him?”

“What are you having Sun Shicai do for you?” Dongfang Mei asked, frowning.

“A small matter!” Jiang Yi said.

“It’s okay if you don’t tell me, I’ll investigate it. With the power of our Dongfang family, there’s nothing we can’t find out.” Dongfang Mei said with a playful smile.

“You don’t need to know about this matter!” Jiang Yi said helplessly.

“The more you don’t want me to know, the more I want to know.”

Dongfang Mei furrowed her delicate brows. “Although I don’t know what you’re having Sun Shicai do, I can guess that it must be related to Ye Yanran.”

This statement stunned Jiang Yi.

He hadn't mentioned anything about Ye Yanran to Dongfang Mei, yet she had guessed it.

“Looking at your expression, it seems I haven’t guessed wrong, this matter is indeed related to Ye Yanran.”

Dongfang Mei frowned and said, “What are you hiding from me? Are you planning to remarry Ye Yanran?”

After saying this, Dongfang Mei showed a vigilant expression.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi was speechless.

What was she even talking about?

Dongfang Mei’s imagination was too wild.

She had managed to connect this matter to remarriage.

“You must explain things to me clearly today, or I’m done with you. I worked so hard to help you find your sister, and you’re secretly discussing remarriage with Ye Yanran. What do you take me for, like a clown to be toyed with?” Dongfang Mei became increasingly angry as she spoke. Suzan Novels Net

Jiang Yi didn’t know how to explain this matter to Dongfang Mei.

Before Ye Yanran went to the capital, her identity couldn’t be known by too many people.

“You’re not explaining anything, are you admitting it by default?” Dongfang Mei said lightly.

This was the first time Jiang Yi had seen Dongfang Mei so angry.

“Ye Yanran and I do have some matters, but it’s not what you think.” Jiang Yi said.

“I don’t care, you must explain it to me clearly.”

Dongfang Mei had no intention of backing down.

Jiang Yi didn’t want to argue with Dongfang Mei anymore, so he got up and went to his room.

Let Dongfang Mei vent her anger first, and she would naturally calm down after she was done.

It was evening when Jiang Yi came downstairs.

He scanned the hall and didn’t see Dongfang Mei.

“Have you seen Dongfang Mei?”

Jiang Yi asked Cuihua, who was cleaning.

Just then, Cuihua walked in from outside.

“Have you seen Dongfang Mei?” Jiang Yi asked Cuihua.

“Miss Dongfang has already left!”

Cuihua said to Jiang Yi, “She asked me to tell you that she is very angry and has returned to the capital. Unless you go to the capital to find her, she won’t forgive you.”

This statement left Jiang Yi stunned!

Dongfang Mei fell out with him over such a small matter?

Was it that serious?

Jiang Yi felt something was not right.

Dongfang Mei’s return to the capital must have other reasons. The matter with Ye Yanran was just an excuse for Dongfang Mei.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yi understood.

Dongfang Mei had been asking him to go to the capital to meet her Dongfang family members, but he hadn't agreed. Dongfang Mei wanted to use this method to force him to comply.

Even if it didn’t succeed, it didn’t matter.

Dongfang Mei knew that he would go to the capital sooner or later.

Dongfang Mei had just gone to the capital ahead of time to make some preparations.

“With Miss Dongfang leaving, my matchmaking prospects are definitely gone!” Cuihua said with a face full of helplessness and unwillingness.

“It’s okay, Dongfang Mei promised you, and she won’t go back on her word!”

Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Cuihua chuckled, her face full of expectation. “One day, I will find the person I love and marry into a wealthy family.”

Jiang Yi didn’t know what to say.

He didn’t like Cuihua’s vanity at all, but there was nothing he could do. If he said it directly, it would surely hurt Cuihua’s self-esteem.

“Why do you have to marry into a wealthy family?” Jiang Yi asked.

“Because marrying into a wealthy family means endless money, and envious status and position that everyone envies. Just thinking about everyone looking at me with envy makes me very excited,” Cuihua said with a smile.

“It seems you have ‘wealthy family delusion disorder’!” Jiang Yi said.

“What is ‘wealthy family delusion disorder’?” Cuihua asked curiously.

“It’s a kind of illness!”

Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Cuihua could tell that Jiang Yi was scolding her, but she wasn’t angry.

“I know I am too vain, but I can’t control myself. I think about marrying into a wealthy family every day. Only then can I feel a little better. Perhaps you’re right, I do have delusion disorder.” Cuihua said.

Jiang Yi was a bit stunned.

He hadn’t expected Cuihua to not be angry.

Cuihua had a good personality, just too vain.

She wanted to marry into a wealthy family, which was understandable, but there was no need to be so picky. Dongfang Mei had arranged blind dates with so many rich second-generation heirs for her, yet she hadn’t liked any of them. Her standards were terrifyingly high.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have bothered with her.

“Go back and find Third Uncle!”

Jiang Yi said to Cuihua. “I will find servants to do the household chores in the villa.”

“Are you saying my housework isn’t good enough?”

Cuihua said to Jiang Yi, “If I’m not doing it well, you can point it out, and I’ll correct it.”

“That’s not what I mean!” Jiang Yi explained.

“Then what do you mean?” Cuihua pressed.

“I…”

Jiang Yi couldn’t continue the conversation with Cuihua.

“You’ve helped our family so much, and we will always remember your great kindness. I came to the villa to do housework to repay you, and my father also agreed. If you drive me away, my father will definitely scold me,” Cuihua said with a wronged expression.

“Then stay!” Jiang Yi could only agree to let her stay in the villa.

Seeing that Jiang Yi had agreed, Cuihua was very happy. She hummed a tune as she went to do her chores.

Jiang Yi scanned the hall, feeling that the entire villa was now desolate.

Dongfang Mei had left, and he felt a little unaccustomed to it.

Jiang Yi didn’t dwell on it.

He would definitely go to the capital, but for now, there were still some trivial matters in Jiang Province that needed to be dealt with.
