Hearing this, Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
He couldn't wait to see his sister.
For so many years, Jiang Yi had lived in guilt.
If he found his sister, his guilt would lessen.
"My mother told me to tell you, once you find your sister, you must marry me immediately and become our Dongfang family's son-in-law."
Dongfang Mei smiled, without a trace of shyness on her face.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
Since he had promised, he would not regret it.
"I don't understand why your mother favors me so much? Why must I become her son-in-law?" Jiang Yi asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yi had never been able to figure this out.
Logically, Liu Hong, as a mother, would want her daughter to marry the most outstanding man.
However, Liu Hong knew nothing about Jiang Yi's past.
The current Jiang Yi could only be considered a highly skilled divine physician, without power or influence.
Marrying Dongfang Mei to Jiang Yi would bring no benefits to the Dongfang family, and might even invite ridicule.
"My mother took a liking to you before!"
Dongfang Mei said with a smile, "It's a pity you've forgotten, you don't remember at all."
Jiang Yi was very confused.
He had never suffered from amnesia. If he had met Dongfang Mei and Liu Hong before, even with a bad memory, he should have had some recollection.
"Give me a hint!" Jiang Yi said.
"Forget it, I'll tell you everything!"
Dongfang Mei began to recount.
After Jiang Yi listened, he suddenly remembered.
It happened seven years ago, when Jiang Yi accompanied his master on a trip to Eagle Country.
While his master wasn't paying attention, Jiang Yi sneaked off to a scenic spot to play. He encountered a mother and daughter who were targeted by thugs. They were robbed of all their money and were about to be silenced.
That mother and daughter were Dongfang Mei and Liu Hong.
Liu Hong and Dongfang Mei cried out for help.
But Jiang Yi, being frivolous at the time, said he could save them, but only if Dongfang Mei married him.
Back then, it was just a joke from Jiang Yi.
Although Jiang Yi was young, his martial arts skills were formidable. He drove away the thugs.
This completely captivated Dongfang Mei.
From that day on, Dongfang Mei could never forget Jiang Yi.
It sounded somewhat absurd, but it was the truth.
The reason Liu Hong favored Jiang Yi was that while Jiang Yi was fighting the thugs, one of them charged at Liu Hong with a dagger.
Liu Hong was certain to die, but Jiang Yi suddenly rushed forward and took the stab for her.
Now, there was still a scar on Jiang Yi's arm.
Jiang Yi had saved the lives of both Liu Hong and Dongfang Mei.
Liu Hong had never forgotten this incident.
Since Dongfang Mei liked Jiang Yi, Liu Hong naturally cooperated fully.
"Do you remember now?" Dongfang Mei asked Jiang Yi.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and said speechlessly, "I was joking when I said I wanted to marry you back then, and you actually took it seriously?"
"That wasn't a joke!"
Dongfang Mei smiled charmingly.
"As a man, you must fulfill your promises!"
"In any case, once you find your sister, you must marry me, or I won't let you rest even in death."
Jiang Yi shrugged.
"If I don't divorce Ye Yanran, what will you do?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I will definitely not compromise!"
Dongfang Mei said, "My purpose in coming to Jiang City was to snatch you away from Ye Yanran."
"I never expected that as soon as I arrived in Jiang City, I found out you divorced Ye Yanran and were kicked out of the Ye family. Heaven is helping me, I can't help it."
Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
"There is nothing I, Dongfang Mei, want that I cannot get," Dongfang Mei revealed a playful smile.
"But I don't have any feelings for you," Jiang Yi said.
"It doesn't matter, feelings are developed slowly. One day, you will fall in love with me. I am absolutely confident in that," Dongfang Mei said with a smile.
Although Dongfang Mei said this, she was still a little worried.
"What kind of wife do you hope for?" Dongfang Mei asked.
Jiang Yi listed a lot of things, all of which Dongfang Mei couldn't do.
Jiang Yi was doing this on purpose.
Dongfang Mei's brow furrowed.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly and returned to his room. Sudang Fiction Network.
The next morning, as soon as Jiang Yi arrived in the lobby, Dongfang Mei threw an invitation at him.
"Someone delivered this this morning!" Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi opened it and sneered.
It was from the Shen family!
The invitation stated that in three days, it would be the Shen family head's fiftieth birthday, and Jiang Yi was specifically invited to attend.
Of the Shen family, Jiang Yi only knew Shen Lu and Shen Quan, and had no dealings with the Shen family.
The Shen family head inviting him to his fiftieth birthday was likely about the hospital matter concerning Shen Quan.
The Shen family probably wanted him to hand over the seven hospitals.
Jiang Yi didn't care about all that. He planned to transfer all seven hospitals to his name today.
When Shen Lu arrived at the villa, Jiang Yi took Shen Lu with him and drove to the first hospital.
As they got out of the car at the hospital entrance, they saw Shen Quan.
Shen Quan looked somewhat pale, as if he had just come out of the hospital.
Besides Shen Quan, there were also some Shen family members standing at the hospital entrance.
"Mr. Shen, it's an honor that you've come personally to handle the handover with me!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Just as Shen Quan was about to speak, he saw Shen Lu following behind Jiang Yi, and his brows immediately furrowed.
"Why are you together?" Shen Quan questioned.
"Is that very strange?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"I understand now, everything from the beginning was a trap. You had planned to scheme against me long ago!"
Shen Quan trembled with anger.
"Shen Lu, don't misunderstand. Whether it was the drinking bet or the stone gambling, you invited me first. We didn't scheme against you; you brought it upon yourself!" Jiang Yi laughed.
Shen Quan trembled all over with rage.
"You wretched woman, I knew I should have killed you back then. You colluded with outsiders to scheme against me. I won't let you off easily."
Shen Quan stared at Shen Lu with murderous intent.
"You killed my mother. I came back from Jiang City this time for revenge. I won't let any of you, including the Shen family, off." Shen Lu said angrily.
"Just with this brat?"
Shen Quan sneered, "Do you really think this brat can help you deal with our Shen family? That's pure wishful thinking."
The Shen family members behind Shen Quan also showed disdain.
"It's easier for our Shen family to kill this brat than to crush an ant."
Shen Quan didn't take Jiang Yi seriously.
"Shen Quan, you and the Shen family will pay for your arrogance," Shen Lu snorted.
"I'd like to see how capable this brat is!"
After speaking, Shen Quan's gaze fell on Jiang Yi.
"Brat, if you leave now, our Shen family will let you go."
"But if you insist on taking these seven hospitals, then you are an enemy of our Shen family. I advise you to think carefully."
