"I just don't understand, why does Jiang Yi have such great charm? So many beautiful women like him and are willing to sacrifice for him. I'm quite handsome too!"
"Moreover, I'm the eldest young master of the Chen family, yet no beautiful woman likes me. I still haven't figured out this problem!" Chen Kun said helplessly.
Shen Lu and Dong Rui couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"You're mistaken, someone likes you!" Dong Rui said.
"Who likes me?" Chen Kun quickly asked.
"That new cleaner who just joined the company. Haven't you noticed she always greets you whenever she sees you."
"And your office, she cleans it once every day. Your office is the cleanest one in the entire company!" Dong Rui said.
"Nonsense!"
Chen Kun said quickly.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go and ask the cleaner yourself." Dong Rui said with a smile.
"This is indeed true!"
Shen Lu also chimed in.
"You two just love to bully me!"
Chen Kun grinned and said, "Once Miss Dongfang marries into the Jiang family, your good days will be over. Miss Dongfang is no ordinary person; she's a formidable one. Your little tricks are nothing compared to her."
Dong Rui was about to speak when Jiang Yi walked into the hall with Xiao Xin.
Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Dong Rui quickly shut her mouth.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you say it out loud so we can all have a good laugh!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Dong Rui and Shen Lu didn't say anything and simply got up and left the hall.
"I'm sleepy, I'm leaving first!"
Chen Kun said, and then he also left the hall.
Jiang Yi was stunned, not knowing what they were up to. As soon as they saw him, they all scurried away.
"We've kept your room for you. It's getting late, so you should get some rest too!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mm!"
Xiao Xin nodded and returned to her room.
The night passed without incident!
The next morning, after Jiang Yi got up, he went to the hall.
As soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw Li Ping gathering everyone to tidy up the villa and prepare for Jiang Yi's wedding.
Shen Lu, Dong Rui, Chen Kun, Xiao Xin, and others were all there.
When Li Ping saw Jiang Yi arrive, her gaze fell upon him, and she said, "You're about to get married. You can't sleep in anymore. Otherwise, you'll only bring shame to the Jiang family. Do you remember what I said?"
"I remember!"
Jiang Yi replied.
Li Ping was much stricter with Jiang Yi now.
Li Ping did this for Jiang Yi's own good.
Once Jiang Yi married Dongfang Mei, he would be a reputable person.
Jiang Yi represented the entire Jiang family. If Jiang Yi was shamed, it would be equivalent to shaming the Jiang family.
Li Ping's prohibition of Jiang Yi sleeping in was to encourage him to start small.
Jiang Yi couldn't stand this feeling of being constrained, but he knew Li Ping was doing it for his benefit.
"You need to invite some guests to your wedding. Besides some partners from Tiansheng Group, you should invite some of your friends to support you. After you get married, our Jiang family will be considered established in the capital. We must invite some influential people, as this will be very beneficial to our Jiang family!" Li Ping said.
Jiang Yi felt a little helpless.
He hadn't expected his mother to change so much. It was just a wedding, but she had connected it to the Jiang family's status.
"Did you understand what I just said?" Li Ping asked.
"I understand!"
Jiang Yi could only nod.
"Oh, right. Liu Hong just sent someone over to ask you to go to the Dongfang family. She wants to discuss something with you when you have time. Hurry up and go!" Li Ping said.
Jiang Yi nodded, then left the hall.
Jiang Yi was very confused.
He didn't know what Liu Hong wanted to discuss with him.
After leaving the villa, Jiang Yi drove straight to the Dongfang family's villa.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Dongfang Mei.
"Aunt Liu asked for me, what is it about?" Jiang Yi asked Dongfang Mei.
"I don't know!"
Dongfang Mei walked over, took Jiang Yi's hand, and led him into the villa.
"Mom is waiting in the hall. You'll know when you go in!"
Upon arriving at the hall, he indeed saw Liu Hong and a group of Dongfang family members sitting in the hall.
Dongfang Teng was also there.
"You're here, sit down!"
Liu Hong said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa.
"Aunt Liu, what did you want to see me about?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I asked you to come here because I want to discuss something with you!"
Liu Hong hesitated for a long time before saying to Jiang Yi, "Our Dongfang family is not large in population. I only have Xiao Mei as my daughter. After your child is born, can we have him take the Dongfang surname?"
"Don't worry, the child will still be yours. We're just asking him to change his surname. When he grows up, he will be the heir of our Eastern Branch family..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was stunned!
He hadn't expected Liu Hong to ask him to come over for this matter.
The child wasn't even born yet, still in Dongfang Mei's belly, and Liu Hong was already discussing this with him.
"Mom, please don't make things difficult for Jiang Yi!"
Dongfang Mei said to Liu Hong, "We can discuss this later..."
Dongfang Mei was finally about to marry Jiang Yi, and she didn't want any accidents to occur in the meantime.
If Li Ping found out about this, she would surely make a fuss.
"I can't help it, I can only discuss it with Jiang Yi now. If Jiang Yi doesn't agree, I won't force him," Liu Hong said.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and then said, "Aunt Liu, I promise you. After the child is born, he will take the Dongfang surname. A name is just a code, it's not a big deal!"
Seeing Jiang Yi agree so readily, everyone was stunned!
"Jiang Yi, thank you!"
Liu Hong's face was filled with gratitude.
Jiang Yi regretted it a little. How would he explain this matter to his mother if she asked?
Given her personality, she would certainly not agree.
However, it was too late to regret it now!
Just then, a servant came in from outside and said to Liu Hong, "The eldest young master is back. He's standing at the villa entrance right now, and he says he wants to see you, Madam."
"Tell him I won't see him!" Liu Hong said indifferently.
Dongfang Xun had completely disappointed Liu Hong.
The person Liu Hong least wanted to see right now was Dongfang Xun.
"Madam, he says he must see you today, otherwise he will kneel at the entrance until Madam agrees to see him!" the servant continued.
"This is outrageous! He's threatening me!" Liu Hong was quite angered.
"The eldest young master says he has broken up with Song Tong and that everything that happened before was his fault. He only wants to see you, Madam, to admit his mistake!" the servant said.
