"Mom, don't you understand such a simple meaning!" Ye Xiaofeng explained.
"Shi Jun, Shi Jun. How can 'shi' (shit) be handsome? It's just a pile of shit, how can it be handsome? It's a joke..." After saying that, Ye Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that Shi Jun was right beside him and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to continue.
Mother Ye also realized it! "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Ye was so angry that she slapped Ye Xiaofeng. Ye Xiaofeng didn't dare to speak again and quickly dodged. "Mr. Shi, I'm so sorry. Xiaofeng is just out of line, he likes to talk nonsense. Please don't be angry," Mother Ye quickly apologized to Shi Jun with a smile.
"It's alright!" Shi Jun showed a hint of a smile on his face. Shi Jun was smiling on the outside but very angry on the inside. After being scolded by Jiang Yi, he was now being scolded by Ye Xiaofeng. But Shi Jun could only endure it! Before he could win over Ye Yanran, he had to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor to gain the favor of Ye Yanran's family.
"Mr. Shi, please wait a moment. I'll go call Yanran." After Mother Ye finished speaking, she hurried upstairs. A moment later, Ye Yanran came out of her room. Ye Yanran was not dressed up or wearing makeup. However, Ye Yanran looked even more charming at this moment, which made Shi Jun's eyes go straight. Seeing Shi Jun looking at Ye Yanran like that, Mother Ye was overjoyed. She thought that Shi Jun was completely captivated by Yanran, and this son-in-law was not going to escape. Mother Ye was secretly happy.
"Why are you looking for me?" Ye Yanran asked. "What about what I told you yesterday, have you considered it?" Shi Jun came back to his senses and asked Ye Yanran with anticipation.
"I won't marry you, please go back!" Ye Yanran said indifferently, her tone very cold. She wasn't stupid; she felt that the company's issues were too strange from the beginning. It didn't happen earlier or later, but precisely when Shi Jun returned. Although it was just a guess, Yanran felt uncomfortable every time she saw Shi Jun.
"Yanran, why are you being so stubborn? Do you know how big the trouble your company is in? If you can't solve it, you'll go to jail!" Shi Jun said. "Jiang Yi will help me!" Ye Yanran said. "I already said that Jiang Yi can't help you," Shi Jun insisted with a cold laugh. Ye Yanran didn't speak and sat on the sofa.
"Yanran, Mr. Shi has good intentions. Why are you refusing him? How can Jiang Yi be as capable as Mr. Shi? Only Mr. Shi can help you with your company's problems," Mother Ye persuaded. "I will handle my own affairs!" Ye Yanran refused directly. "Yanran, it seems you haven't figured it out yet. I received news that people from the Chamber of Commerce will go to seal your company tomorrow, and you will be taken away for detention. You must think carefully before tomorrow." After Shi Jun finished speaking, he greeted Mother Ye and left.
Mother Ye saw Shi Jun off to the villa entrance before returning. "Yanran, why are you making things difficult for yourself?" Mother Ye sighed, "If Jiang Yi could help you solve your company's problems, he would have done so long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. You are pushing yourself into a dead end like this."
"Sister, I also think you shouldn't choose Jiang Yi. Although I really like Miss Dongfang, I can't just watch you go to jail. I'm willing to give up my goddess and fulfill you and Mr. Shi." Ye Xiaofeng's expression was very solemn. Ye Xiaofeng felt that he had made a significant sacrifice this time.
"You don't need to worry about me." Ye Yanran said and returned to her room. Although Ye Yanran didn't say it, she was very worried in her heart. She was worried that Jiang Yi couldn't solve the company's problems.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi returned to the villa and went to Xiaoxue's room. Xiaoxue's condition had not improved at all. This meant that Jiang Yi's previous prescription was ineffective.
"I'll give you a new prescription. Discard the old one!" Jiang Yi told Meiling and gave her a new prescription. This time, Jiang Yi planned to use poison to fight poison. Meiling nodded and ran to get the medicine. Jiang Yi checked Xiaoxue's body again before leaving the ward. Jiang Yi was confident that he could cure Xiaoxue's illness, it just needed some time for experimentation. Jiang Yi was fully confident. If he couldn't even cure this kind of illness, then all his skills would have been learned in vain.
Just then, the housekeeper arrived! The housekeeper came to check on Xiaoxue's condition. Upon seeing that Xiaoxue's complexion had improved a lot, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. "Master Jiang, you truly live up to your reputation as a divine physician." The housekeeper respectfully said to Jiang Yi, "Many medical experts treated Xiaoxue before, but the more they treated her, the worse her condition became. Only after Master Jiang's treatment did Xiaoxue's condition show a slight improvement."
In fact, the housekeeper was very dissatisfied with Xiaoxue's situation. But to make Jiang Yi focus all his efforts on treating Xiaoxue, he could only continue to flatter him. As the housekeeper of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce President, he rarely flattered others, so when he flattered, it was always the same few phrases. The vocabulary was limited, and Jiang Yi was tired of hearing it.
"I am currently looking for the cause of Xiaoxue's illness. Once I find it, I will naturally cure her!" Jiang Yi's gaze fell on the housekeeper. "If you don't believe me, you can take Xiaoxue away at any time." Jiang Yi could see what the housekeeper was thinking and knew that he was dissatisfied with Xiaoxue's current condition.
"Master Jiang, you jest!" the housekeeper said quickly. "The master entrusted Xiaoxue to you, which shows that the master has great confidence in your medical skills. How dare I doubt Master Jiang." Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh. The housekeeper was truly saying one thing and meaning another.
"Go and tell President Bai to come to Jiang City tomorrow and do something for me. If this matter is handled well, I will not treat him unfairly." Jiang Yi's gaze fell on the housekeeper. Then, Jiang Yi told the housekeeper the details of the matter. The housekeeper immediately nodded and said he would deliver Jiang Yi's message to Bai Zhen.
"By the way, I have a question for you." Jiang Yi looked at the housekeeper. "Does your master have a nephew named Shi Jun?" "The master does have such a nephew, but he is not a biological nephew!" the housekeeper said. "Shi Jun is the sworn brother of my master, and the son of the Shi family head. Shi Jun used to stay abroad and only returned recently. He specifically went to Lishi City to see the master."
"What is the origin of this Shi family?" Jiang Yi asked. "The Shi family is a business family in Lishi City, with strength comparable to the Chen family," the housekeeper said. Hearing this, Jiang Yi's lips curled up. It seemed Shi Jun's background was nothing special. He thought Shi Jun's family was very powerful, but it turned out to be just a business family in Lishi City. What Jiang Yi found laughable was that Shi Jun actually claimed Bai Zhen was his uncle. Shi Jun's ability to pretend was truly astonishing.
