"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Jiang Yi said, then turned to Dongfang Mei and asked, "If I were to fall into my uncle's hands, and lose everything, would you leave me?"
"No!"
Dongfang Mei replied without hesitation, "I am your wife. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you."
Dongfang Mei could do it, but Ye Yanran couldn't.
What Jiang Yi had said earlier was actually a test for Dongfang Mei.
Jiang Yi's capabilities far surpassed what everyone saw.
Jiang Yi's connections and influence were unimaginable to ordinary people. Sudan Novel Network.
Jiang Yi's uncle was indeed very powerful, but in Jiang Yi's eyes, he was nothing.
Jiang Yi hadn't killed his uncle directly because he didn't want to let him off that easily.
Jiang Yi wanted him to know what despair felt like.
Jiang Yi had chosen to keep a low profile before.
Now, Jiang Yi still chose to keep a low profile.
"Let's hurry and buy the ingredients and go back! My sister and the others must be hungry by now," Jiang Yi said.
"Mm!"
Dongfang Mei nodded.
Jiang Yi selected the ingredients at the front, while Dongfang Mei pushed the shopping cart behind him.
Dongfang Mei's gaze never left Jiang Yi, wanting to see how he chose ingredients, as she also wanted to learn some cooking skills.
Dongfang Mei was afraid that Li Ping would look down on her for not knowing how to cook.
After buying the ingredients, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei drove back to the villa.
Li Ping was in the living room talking to Xiao Xin.
"We're all hungry, hurry up and cook!" Li Ping said to Jiang Yi.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi responded and carried the ingredients to the kitchen.
Dongfang Mei followed him directly into the kitchen.
"Why are you sticking to me?" Jiang Yi asked helplessly.
"I'm here to help you."
Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi didn't believe her.
Dongfang Mei usually didn't even know how to cook, yet she was so enthusiastic now.
"Alright, I'm telling the truth. I want to learn how to cook from you!"
Dongfang Mei said, "You know, my cooking is terrible. I can barely swallow it myself, and Mom will definitely dislike me."
"So I've decided, starting now, I'll learn to cook from you."
Jiang Yi was a bit helpless.
"No one can learn my cooking skills."
Jiang Yi said, "It's not that I won't teach you, but even if I do, you won't be able to learn."
Jiang Yi had said this before.
Dongfang Mei's face was filled with disappointment.
"Then what should I do? If I can't even cook, how can I get along with Mom!"
Dongfang Mei looked worried.
"Mom doesn't have many expectations for you. You just need to be filial to her. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Jiang Yi continued, "Besides, if she disliked you, she wouldn't have rushed to marry you."
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei's worried expression slowly disappeared.
"Tell me about Mom. What does she dislike and what does she like? If I want to get along with her, I need to understand her," Dongfang Mei said.
"Okay!"
As Jiang Yi cooked, he told Dongfang Mei about Li Ping's preferences.
Afraid of forgetting, Dongfang Mei grabbed paper and a pen and wrote down everything Jiang Yi said.
Seeing Dongfang Mei's adorable appearance, Jiang Yi almost burst into laughter several times.
Xiao Xin, who had been eavesdropping at the kitchen door, secretly returned to the living room and said to Li Ping with a smile, "Mom, is Sister-in-law very afraid of you?"
"She's asking Brother about your preferences to get to know you, and she even wrote it down on paper. Her serious look is really amusing."
Hearing this, Li Ping smiled slightly.
Shen Lu, Dong Rui, and Chen Kun didn't find it funny.
Because, like Dongfang Mei, they were all afraid of Li Ping.
"Dongfang Mei hasn't done anything wrong, why should she be afraid of me?" Li Ping said.
"That's true!"
Xiao Xin finished speaking and asked Li Ping, "Mom, do you dislike Sister-in-law? Otherwise, you wouldn't always be so serious when you talk to her."
"I don't particularly like or dislike Dongfang Mei!" Li Ping said.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xin asked curiously.
"Dongfang Mei is a good child, but she's too smart and manipulative. She's even manipulated you and me. Tell me, can I like her?" Li Ping took a deep breath.
"Mom, maybe you're misunderstanding. How could Sister-in-law manipulate you?" Xiao Xin said deliberately.
"You don't know Dongfang Mei well enough!"
Li Ping said, "Some things are better left unsaid."
Seeing that Li Ping was unwilling to continue, Xiao Xin didn't press further.
"Actually, I think Sister-in-law is quite good. Even though she's manipulative, she's never harmed us. She's also helped us a lot."
"If it weren't for her help, you, me, and Brother wouldn't have been reunited so quickly," Xiao Xin said.
"Yes! Dongfang Mei has been very good to us. I shouldn't have been prejudiced against her," Li Ping said.
Li Ping was not an unreasonable person.
"So, we should treat Sister-in-law a bit better," Xiao Xin said.
Hearing this, Li Ping frowned slightly and asked, "Did Jiang Yi tell you to say this, or did Dongfang Mei tell you..."
"They didn't tell me to say it."
Xiao Xin quickly explained, "It's my own thought. Our family should be harmonious. That's what a family looks like."
Li Ping remained silent.
It was obvious that Li Ping didn't believe Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin felt helpless. She had wanted to help Dongfang Mei, but it backfired.
At this time, Jiang Yi had already finished cooking.
Everyone went to the kitchen and sat around the table.
"Do you think I've been treating you badly?" Li Ping suddenly asked Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei was stunned by the question. She didn't understand why Li Ping would ask that.
"Mom, you've always treated me well! I've never felt that you treated me poorly," Dongfang Mei quickly replied.
"Let's eat!"
Li Ping said.
Dongfang Mei ate this meal with trepidation.
When it was time to rest at night, Dongfang Mei lay alone on the bed, lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Nothing!"
Dongfang Mei snapped back to reality and quickly replied.
To avoid putting Jiang Yi in a difficult position, Dongfang Mei didn't voice her inner thoughts.
When Li Ping asked that question during dinner, Dongfang Mei guessed that Li Ping didn't like her.
Dongfang Mei knew that Jiang Yi couldn't intervene in such matters.
If Jiang Yi were to get involved, her relationship with Li Ping would worsen.
Dongfang Mei was very intelligent, but she didn't know what to do now.
The next morning, Jiang Yi went to Tiansheng Group with the antidote.
Shen Lu accompanied him.
Shen Lu was from Wanhui Company, and her presence could help Jiang Yi a lot.
