"Then why did you come to me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"My father said you would tell me all the truth I want to know!" Ye Yanran looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was speechless!
Wasn't Ye Yanran's father setting him up?
It was he himself who had told Ye Yanran about her identity.
Now Ye Yanran was inquiring about it, and her father actually told her to come to him.
"Can you tell me the truth?" Ye Yanran asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi hesitated!
At this moment, Ye Yanran could not know about this.
Given Ye Yanran's personality, no one knew what she might do.
Once things got out of control, Ye Yanran would be in danger, and things would become even more troublesome.
"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing!" Jiang Yi said.
"What is it?" Ye Yanran asked.
"After you know your background, don't go to the capital. That's not a place you should go to right now," Jiang Yi said with a solemn expression.
"I promise!" Ye Yanran nodded in agreement.
"You are the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in the capital!"
Jiang Yi said, "You must have heard of the Xiao family in the capital. The Xiao family is the largest commercial family in the capital and even the entire Huaxia Nation, controlling a powerful business empire!"
Ye Yanran was stunned upon hearing this, and it took her a long time to snap out of it.
"More than twenty years ago, the struggle for the patriarch of the Xiao family led to the deaths of your parents. The old master of the Xiao family announced that you would be groomed as the patriarch of the Xiao family, but the situation spiraled out of control."
"To save your life, the old master of the Xiao family asked your father to take you away secretly. Coincidentally, Ye Mu's child died of suffocation during difficult labor, so you became the child of Ye Father and Ye Mother," Jiang Yi said.
Ye Yanran was still in a daze.
She couldn't accept such a reality immediately.
"Only your father knows about this. Even your mother and brother don't know about it!" Jiang Yi said.
"Then why did my father tell you about it?" Ye Yanran controlled her emotions and asked Jiang Yi.
"To repay the kindness of being taken in by your father back then, I promised your father that I would help you return to the Xiao family and become the patriarch!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
After telling Ye Yanran the truth, Jiang Yi felt much more relaxed.
Jiang Yi looked at Ye Yanran.
He expected Ye Yanran to lose control of her emotions, but to his surprise, Ye Yanran appeared very calm.
It was as if she was listening to something completely unrelated to her.
"You can't help me with this matter!"
Ye Yanran said, "The Xiao family is so powerful, and we are like ants. What can we do to fight them? If you help me, you will lose your life in vain."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Helping Ye Yanran was not a difficult task for him.
The mere Xiao family was nothing to be concerned about.
It was just that now, it was up to Ye Yanran to make a choice.
She could choose to live an obscure life as Ye Yanran, or she could live as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, return to the Xiao family, and reclaim what rightfully belonged to her.
"I can help you, but it depends on your decision now!" Jiang Yi looked at Ye Yanran.
"I will take back what is mine. My biological parents cannot have died in vain!"
Ye Yanran said, "I will find a way myself. You don't need to help me. You can't help me. And I don't want to implicate you!"
After speaking, Ye Yanran got up and left!
Jiang Yi shrugged!
It seemed Ye Yanran had already made her choice.
He would definitely help her, after all, he had promised Ye Father himself.
Suddenly, Jiang Yi's phone rang.
He took it out and saw it was Ye Father calling.
Ye Father asked Jiang Yi to wait at the tea house, saying he would be there soon.
An hour later, Ye Father arrived.
"Did you tell Yanran everything?" Ye Father asked Jiang Yi.
"Mmm."
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Jiang Yi, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Promise me you won't get angry first!"
Ye Father showed an embarrassed smile.
Seeing Ye Father's expression, Jiang Yi had a bad feeling.
He felt like he had been tricked by him!
"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Actually, I originally planned to take this secret to my grave, not to tell anyone, and let the secret be buried forever! But who knew that Yanran divorced you!" Ye Father took a deep breath.
These words completely confused Jiang Yi!
"What does this have to do with our divorce?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, it's related!"
Ye Father said, "I didn't want you to divorce, so I revealed this secret and asked you to help Yanran. This way, you would still have contact, and there would be hope for remarriage. That's all I could do!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's face turned black!
It seemed his premonition was correct, he had indeed been tricked by Ye Father!
After divorcing Ye Yanran, Jiang Yi intended to sever all ties with her, but Ye Father told him about Ye Yanran's identity.
In order to repay Ye Father's favor, he could only agree to help Ye Yanran.
He, who was wise all his life, was ultimately outsmarted by Ye Father.
"Ye Yanran and I are divorced. Do you think this is meaningful?" Jiang Yi was very displeased.
He had always been the one to scheme against others, and this was the first time he had been schemed against.
"This is my last resort!" Ye Father said.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't help Ye Yanran and will secretly leave Jiang Province?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You won't do that!"
Ye Father chuckled, "You've already made a promise, and it's too late to go back on it."
"Besides, you can bear to see Yanran suffer, but can you bear to abandon the child in Yanran's womb? If you could, you wouldn't have given Tiansheng Group to Yanran."
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
What Ye Father said was indeed true.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy leads to victory. I understand you too well, which is why my plan was so successful,"
Ye Father said with a smile, patting Jiang Yi on the shoulder.
Jiang Yi suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Father looked puzzled.
"You don't understand me. Ever since I was driven out of the family by your Ye family, I've thought through many things," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Father's brow furrowed.
"Helping Ye Yanran is too dangerous. I don't want to risk my life. As for the child in Ye Yanran's womb, I had already discussed it with Ye Yanran when I was in Jiang City. I can choose not to take responsibility for the child," Jiang Yi said.
"You promised to help Yanran back then. You can't go back on your word!" Ye Father said anxiously.
"You schemed against me first, so I have reason to not fulfill my promise," Jiang Yi said with a menacing grin.
Ye Father was dumbfounded!
"You are too irresponsible. The child in Yanran's womb is yours."
Ye Father started using the child as leverage.
