"Don't worry, give me a month. By then, whether we catch Bo Ren or not, I will drive Zhu Xiaoxiao away," Jiang Yi said.
"Handle it yourself!"
After Oriental Mei finished speaking, she returned to her room upstairs.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
He hadn't expected Oriental Mei to be truly angry.
"Brother..."
Xiao Xin entered with a bag of clothes.
"Why did you buy so many clothes?" Jiang Yi asked.
"These clothes aren't much. Sister-in-law's clothes are far more numerous than mine. I've been to her walk-in closet before; her clothes could open a clothing store!"
After speaking, Xiao Xin continued, "I also want to dress myself up beautifully and then find a good husband."
"That makes sense. It's time for you to find a husband. When the opportunity arises, I'll help you scout around," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just take care of your own affairs. I don't want to be a sacrifice to your schemes," Xiao Xin pouted.
"I'm your brother. How could I possibly let you be a sacrifice to schemes? Whoever you want to marry is your choice; I won't interfere," Jiang Yi said.
"That's more like it!"
Xiao Xin giggled.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Judging by Xiao Xin's demeanor, she must have met someone she liked.
Otherwise, she wouldn't care so much about her attire and appearance.
"By the way, where's Sister-in-law? I specifically bought a dress for her. She has such a good figure, she should wear dresses that accentuate it more. It would surely make you fall head over heels for her," Xiao Xin asked.
"Your sister-in-law was angered by Zhu Xiaoxiao and has gone back to her room. Could you go and comfort her for me?" Jiang Yi said.
"Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
Xiao Xin smiled and walked upstairs.
Jiang Yi sat in the hall for a while, then left the hall and went to the backyard.
Upon reaching the backyard, Jiang Yi saw Zhu Xiaoxiao hoeing the ground, covered in sweat, her face full of anger, and muttering curses at Oriental Mei.
Zhu Xiaoxiao had originally come to monitor Jiang Yi and Oriental Mei.
But now, not only had she become a servant, but she was also busy every day, exhausted like a dog, and now she had to hoe the ground, doing manual labor.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Yi coughed and then walked towards Zhu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Zhu Xiaoxiao immediately stopped cursing, and her face instantly changed to one of pure grievance.
"Brother Jiang Yi..."
Zhu Xiaoxiao dropped the hoe, squeezed out a couple of tears, and squatted on the ground, crying.
"Stop crying!"
Jiang Yi said to comfort her.
"Brother Jiang Yi, don't you feel even a little bit sorry for me? Oriental Mei is deliberately making things difficult for me and making me do hard labor. You're not even helping me, just watching me suffer!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao cried even harder.
"I want to help you, but I can't."
Jiang Yi feigned helplessness and said to Zhu Xiaoxiao, "As you saw just now, when I tried to speak up for you, Oriental Mei started arguing with me directly."
"Then think of a way! You can't have me doing hard labor forever!" Zhu Xiaoxiao cried.
"Alright, I'll think of a way!" Jiang Yi said.
"Brother Jiang Yi, why did you marry such an arrogant and overbearing wife? This house is your domain, not hers. She's completely bossing you around now!"
"I'm not saying this to you, but you're too spineless. If this gets out, you'll be the laughingstock of the entire capital!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao began to sow discord between Jiang Yi and Oriental Mei.
"I can't do anything about it; I can only endure."
Jiang Yi feigned helplessness.
"If I were you, I'd divorce her immediately!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao continued to instigate.
"Divorce is not an option. If I divorce Oriental Mei, I'll lose the support of the Oriental family and won't be able to deal with Ye Yanran!" Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Jiang Yi felt his acting skills had improved significantly.
"I can help you!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Although I don't have a powerful family behind me, I have a way to make your Tiansheng Group grow rapidly. Once Tiansheng Group is strong enough, you won't need the Oriental family's support!"
"This matter concerns your man's dignity; you should consider it carefully."
"I will consider it!" Jiang Yi nodded.
Upon hearing this, a hint of gloom appeared on Zhu Xiaoxiao's face.
Zhu Xiaoxiao believed that as long as she continued to drive a wedge between Jiang Yi and Oriental Mei, Jiang Yi and Oriental Mei's marriage would eventually break down.
What Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't know was that her intentions had long been seen through by Jiang Yi and Oriental Mei!
"Brother Jiang Yi, the backyard is too big. I can't hoe all of it today..." Zhu Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly.
"You'd better just work honestly!"
Jiang Yi said, "I know Oriental Mei's temper best. If you slack off or don't work properly, and she catches you, she will torment you a hundredfold."
These words made Zhu Xiaoxiao a little scared!
Just then, Shen Lu walked towards them.
Seeing this scene, she suppressed the urge to laugh.
"Miss Zhu, this is manual labor. Can you handle it?" Shen Lu asked Zhu Xiaoxiao.
Zhu Xiaoxiao ignored Shen Lu.
Zhu Xiaoxiao knew that Shen Lu was here to mock her.
"Alright, don't cause trouble by following us!"
Jiang Yi said.
Jiang Yi began to play the good guy.
But Zhu Xiaoxiao felt no gratitude; she knew her purpose for being here.
If she failed to complete the task assigned by Bo Ren, she would have no choice but to die.
"The Chairman has something to discuss with you and asked me to find you!"
Shen Lu said.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded and walked towards the hall.
Zhu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed slightly, and she quickly followed. Su Dan Novel Network
"I'll go with you!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly. It seemed Zhu Xiaoxiao wanted to know Tiansheng Group's secrets; otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager.
"The Chairman needs to discuss important matters with Mr. Jiang. What right do you have, a mere servant, to participate? You'd better stay here and do your manual labor honestly, and don't cause unnecessary trouble!"
Shen Lu stared at Zhu Xiaoxiao and said.
"I... I'm just curious," Zhu Xiaoxiao quickly explained.
"Curious?"
Shen Lu sneered.
"Curious about what? Could it be that you're a spy?"
"You're talking nonsense! How could I be a spy!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao quickly said, "I am Brother Jiang Yi's god-sister. I would never do anything to betray Brother Jiang Yi. Don't slander me."
After speaking, Zhu Xiaoxiao turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Brother Jiang Yi, you must stand up for me. I don't want to be wrongly accused."
"Alright! I believe you."
After saying this, Jiang Yi ignored Zhu Xiaoxiao further and walked straight into the hall.
Shen Lu, worried that Zhu Xiaoxiao might go back and eavesdrop, did not follow and stood in place, watching Zhu Xiaoxiao.
