Ye Yanran watched Jiang Yi and Ye Yanran leave, her face filled with bitterness at their apparent intimacy.
The man she loved was right before her, yet she could only watch Jiang Yi with another woman, utterly powerless.
At this moment, Jiang Yi had already gotten into Dongfang Mei's car.
Dongfang Mei started the car and drove onto the street.
“Where exactly are you taking me?” Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
“What’s the hurry? You’ll know when we get there!” Dongfang Mei replied.
Jiang Yi shrugged and remained silent.
He pondered what kind of gift Dongfang Mei might be intending to give.
An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a car company.
As soon as they alighted, they saw a corpulent middle-aged man standing at the entrance with a group of people.
“Miss Dongfang, I’ve been waiting for you with my staff for a long time! You’re finally here!” the middle-aged man said respectfully to Dongfang Mei.
“How long have you been waiting?” Dongfang Mei asked.
“Three hours!”
The middle-aged man showed a look of helplessness.
“I had something to attend to earlier, apologies,” Dongfang Mei said.
“It’s alright!”
The middle-aged man quickly replied, “Miss Dongfang, you’re a busy person, naturally, you have many matters to attend to. It is our honor to wait for you. Let alone three hours, we’d be willing to wait for thirty hours.”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
Dongfang Mei knew Jiang Yi was amused by the middle-aged man’s flattery, so she also laughed.
As the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family and its future heir, Dongfang Mei held a noble status, and she encountered such situations frequently.
There was nothing particularly strange about it.
Jiang Yi found it amusing because he felt the middle-aged man’s skill at flattery was truly exceptional.
“And this gentleman is…”
The middle-aged man’s gaze appraised Jiang Yi.
“He is my fiancé!” Dongfang Mei stated directly.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yi was Dongfang Mei’s fiancé, the middle-aged man quickly approached and shook Jiang Yi’s hand.
Jiang Yi felt a bit awkward, but he still shook hands with the middle-aged man.
Dongfang Mei seemed completely unashamed, always introducing Jiang Yi as her fiancé whenever she introduced him to others, as if she were afraid no one would know their relationship.
“Have you prepared what I asked you to?” Dongfang Mei asked.
“It’s been ready for a long time!”
The middle-aged man replied, “It’s in the company’s front courtyard.”
With that, the middle-aged man led Dongfang Mei and Jiang Yi into the car company’s courtyard.
As soon as they reached the courtyard, Jiang Yi saw a Bentley.
“Young Miss Dongfang, this car is custom-made and is worth one billion.”
The middle-aged man began describing the car, talking for a full ten minutes.
This car was indeed the epitome of automobiles.
“Alright!”
Dongfang Mei stopped the middle-aged man and then asked him, “I’ll give you credit for this. Where are the car keys?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man became excited and immediately produced an exquisite box.
Dongfang Mei opened the box, took out the car keys, and handed them to Jiang Yi, saying, “From now on, this car is yours. This is the gift I’m giving you. After arriving in the capital, if you don’t even have a car, how can that be?”
Jiang Yi did not take the car keys.
Back in Jiang Province, Dongfang Mei had already gifted him a luxury car worth a hundred million. Now, she was gifting him another one, worth ten times the price.
A car worth a billion was something most people couldn’t even imagine.
“I cannot accept this car!”
Jiang Yi directly refused.
“Why?” Dongfang Mei asked.
“My status does not match this car!”
Jiang Yi stated, “I appreciate your kindness, but I truly cannot accept the car.”
Dongfang Mei’s brows furrowed, and she said, “Do you know how much effort I put into buying this car for you? I started having the car company customize it before you even arrived in the capital. If you don’t accept it, I’ll just have someone smash it.”
Dongfang Mei resorted to her usual tactic.
“Call someone to smash this car for me!”
Dongfang Mei instructed the middle-aged man, “Jiang Yi is not satisfied with this car. Have them customize a new one for me that’s even more expensive and better, until Jiang Yi is satisfied.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked helpless.
Dongfang Mei was willing to smash a car worth a billion at will.
What ordinary person possessed such audacity?
A billion was an astronomical sum!
“Mr. Jiang, please accept it! If it’s truly smashed, it will be worthless,” the middle-aged man said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Finally, Jiang Yi could only accept the car keys and the car.
“Don’t cause so much trouble like this again!” Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei, his brow furrowed.
“What do you mean trouble!”
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly at Jiang Yi. “I am your fiancée, so it is natural for me to give you gifts! Besides, what’s mine is yours…”
Jiang Yi didn’t know what to say.
“Go try out the car!”
Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded, got into the car, started it, and drove out onto the street.
After accompanying Dongfang Mei on a drive around the city, Jiang Yi finally drove back to the villa around eleven o’clock at night.
He had expected Ye Yanran to be asleep, but upon entering the living room, he found her sitting on the sofa watching television, looking preoccupied.
Jiang Yi felt that Ye Yanran had changed a lot; the previous Ye Yanran was not so troubled.
“You’re back!”
Ye Yanran greeted Jiang Yi.
“Mm!”
Jiang Yi responded and sat down on the sofa.
“While you’re still awake, I want to talk about something,” Jiang Yi said.
“What is it?” Ye Yanran asked.
“Tomorrow, come with me to see Xiao Cuiying!”
Jiang Yi said, “Taking this opportunity, you can legitimately return to the Xiao family. Then, once I’ve cured Old Master Xiao’s illness, you can become the head of the Xiao family, and the promise I made to your father will be fulfilled!”
After speaking, Jiang Yi explained the situation.
Ye Yanran just nodded, not saying a word.
“Do you have anything else to say? If not, then tomorrow, you’ll come with me to see Xiao Cuiying!”
Jiang Yi said to Ye Yanran, “Xiao Cuiying has always felt guilty. She will definitely do her best to help you become the head of the Xiao family and help you reclaim what rightfully belongs to you.”
“Mm!”
Ye Yanran nodded.
“It’s getting late, get some rest!”
Jiang Yi finished speaking, returned to his room, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Perhaps it was due to exhaustion, but Jiang Yi fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
