Chapter 543 Jealousy

"Mom, I have a question for you!" Jiang Yi looked at Li Ping.

"What is it!" Li Ping said.

"Do you like Dongfang Mei?" Jiang Yi asked.

"I can't say I like her, nor can I say I dislike her!"

Li Ping smiled, "I know what you're worried about. You're worried about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between me and Dongfang Mei after you marry her. You can rest assured about this. I'm a reasonable person. As long as Dongfang Mei enters our Jiang family's door and doesn't make unreasonable demands on me, I won't make things difficult for her. We are a family and should live in harmony."

These words struck a chord with Jiang Yi!

This was what Jiang Yi had been worried about.

With Li Ping's words, Jiang Yi felt much more at ease.

"There's still work at the company, we're leaving now!"

Li Ping finished speaking, got up, and prepared to take Dong Rui to work.

"Chairman..."

Chen Kun hurriedly chased after her and said to Li Ping, "Chairman, I've already warned my father and all the members of the Chen family. They won't do such things again in the future. Please, let me come to work at the company! I've been so bored these past few days that I'm practically rotting."

"Alright!"

Li Ping agreed!

Seeing Li Ping agree, Chen Kun happily followed her.

Only Shen Lu remained.

Li Ping had already made arrangements for Shen Lu to stay by Jiang Yi's side to help him deal with Wan Hui Company.

Li Ping was a smart person. Among Chen Kun, Dong Rui, and Shen Lu, Shen Lu was the one who could help Jiang Yi the most. That's why Li Ping asked Shen Lu to stay by Jiang Yi's side to assist him.

"The Chairman said that she wants to prepare a grand wedding for you and Miss Dongfang. Tomorrow, after the Chairman discusses things with the Dongfang family, she will start preparing for the wedding. It's going to be quite busy!" Shen Lu said.

Jiang Yi heard this and felt helpless!

He actually didn't want to get married so soon, but his mother insisted on forcing him, and he couldn't do anything about it.

However, before that, Jiang Yi planned to talk to Dongfang Mei!

Perhaps there was still a chance!

With that thought, Jiang Yi left the villa and headed to the Royal Hotel.

An hour later, the car arrived at the Royal Hotel.

As soon as Jiang Yi got out of the car, the hotel manager walked over and said to Jiang Yi with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, you and the eldest young lady truly have a connection. The eldest young lady was just saying she wanted to look for you, and unexpectedly, you've come directly!"

"Did the eldest young lady want to see me about something?" Jiang Yi asked.

"I don't know. The eldest young lady didn't say!"

After the hotel manager finished speaking, he continued to say to Jiang Yi, "The eldest young lady is in the lobby right now. You can go and ask her."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi entered the hotel lobby.

Upon reaching the lobby, he indeed saw Dongfang Mei.

"I heard you wanted to see me about something?" Jiang Yi sat down on the sofa and looked at Dongfang Mei.

"It's nothing major!"

Dongfang Mei finished speaking and then said to Jiang Yi, "I heard that Auntie is going to my house tomorrow to discuss something. It sounds like a big deal. What exactly is it? Tell me quickly so I can be mentally prepared."

Hearing Dongfang Mei's question, Jiang Yi didn't know how to explain.

Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Dongfang Mei's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she said, "Could it be because of yesterday's incident that Auntie got angry and wants us to break up!"

These words stunned Jiang Yi!

"What's going on?" Jiang Yi asked.

Dongfang Mei explained the whole situation.

It turned out that Tiansheng Group and the Dongfang family had a joint venture project. Both sides had sent representatives, and due to conflicts of interest, the two representatives clashed.

The Dongfang family's representative physically assaulted the representative from Tiansheng Group, who was now lying in the hospital.

Li Ping was very angry when she found out about this.

It was the Dongfang family's representative's fault. Dongfang Mei was worried that if the matter escalated, it would damage the relationship between the two families. Therefore, she had specifically gone to Tiansheng Group yesterday to explain to Li Ping, but instead, she angered Li Ping and was scolded.

"When Auntie was scolding me, I didn't dare to say a word!"

Dongfang Mei said helplessly, "I remember Auntie saying something, saying that although our Dongfang family is a prominent and prestigious family, everyone is ambitious..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt helpless!

He had been wondering why his mother, who was supposed to visit the Dongfang family today, suddenly changed her mind and said she would go tomorrow.

Now, he finally knew the reason!

"Say something, why is Auntie going to my house tomorrow?" Dongfang Mei was full of anxiety.

"It's not about the matter you mentioned!" Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Mei had always been worried about displeasing Li Ping and preventing her from marrying Jiang Yi. Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Dongfang Mei felt much more at ease.

"Since it's not about yesterday's matter, then what is it about?" Dongfang Mei asked.

"My mother is going to your house tomorrow to propose. She wants us to get married in a week!" Jiang Yi said.

Dongfang Mei was stunned when she heard this.

After a moment, Dongfang Mei came back to her senses and jumped up from the sofa in her excitement, pacing back and forth.

Dongfang Mei had been waiting for this day for a long time!

"That's great, truly great!"

Dongfang Mei finished speaking, her gaze fell on Jiang Yi, and she said, "Why aren't you happy? This is a joyous occasion. After we get married, we'll be husband and wife, and I can live with you. I can have babies for you and be your wife!"

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Dongfang Mei immediately became unhappy and stared at Jiang Yi, saying, "What do you mean? Don't you want to marry me?"

"No!" Jiang Yi said.

"Then why aren't you happy? Are you still thinking about Ye Yanran?"

Dongfang Mei sneered, "I advise you to stop thinking about her. I heard that Ye Yanran is also about to marry the crown prince of the Capital's No. 1 Auction Company. Even if you think about her, it's useless. Ye Yanran will soon be someone else's wife!"

"I'm not thinking about Ye Yanran, I just think this is too sudden and I don't want to get married so quickly!"

Jiang Yi finished speaking, his gaze fell on Dongfang Mei, and he said, "I came to see you this time precisely to discuss this matter. Can you help me persuade my mother to wait a little longer..."

"No, I've wanted to marry you for a long time. Unless I'm a fool, I won't persuade Auntie!"

Dongfang Mei snorted.

Jiang Yi was helpless!

"I know what you're thinking. Although you say you don't think about Ye Yanran, you do in your heart. You're just delaying the marriage because you want to reconcile with Ye Yanran!"

"I won't give you this chance. No one will snatch my man away from me!" Dongfang Mei said.
