"I need to go out for a bit!" Jiang Yi said.
"What for?" Li Ping asked.
Jiang Yi was getting married soon, so Li Ping was keeping a very close eye on him.
Jiang Yi explained that Father Ye had invited him to dinner.
Li Ping frowned upon hearing this.
"He's looking for you, it's probably about Ye Yanran. You can go, but remember, you're divorced from Ye Yanran. You have no more ties to her. You're marrying Dongfang Mei tomorrow, so you know what you need to do!" Li Ping said.
"Okay!" Jiang Yi nodded.
"I don't trust you going alone. How about this, I'll have Shen Lu go with you!"
Li Ping looked at Shen Lu and said, "If the Ye family gets out of line, don't show them any respect."
"Understood!" Shen Lu nodded.
Jiang Yi felt helpless.
Once in the car, Shen Lu said to Jiang Yi, "You heard what the chairwoman said. If I do anything wrong later, you can't blame me!"
"I won't blame you!" Jiang Yi replied.
"That's reassuring to hear!" Shen Lu smiled.
Jiang Yi started the car and headed for the Royal Hotel.
An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the lobby of the Royal Hotel and found the private room Father Ye had booked. Upon entering, he saw that besides Father Ye, Mother Ye and Ye Xiaofeng were also present.
Jiang Yi was taken aback.
Everyone except Ye Yanran had come!
They chose this time to meet Jiang Yi, most likely because of his impending marriage to Dongfang Mei.
Jiang Yi knew that reconciliation with Ye Yanran was impossible and that anything they said would be futile.
"Jiang Yi, you're here. Please, have a seat!" Father Ye said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded and sat down.
"You're marrying Dongfang Mei tomorrow. We all know about it!" Father Ye looked at Jiang Yi, took a deep breath, and said, "I asked you here to ask for your true feelings. Are you being forced into marrying Dongfang Mei?"
"If you're being forced, you can make a different choice. As long as you agree, I believe Yanran will remarry you!"
"No one is forcing me. I want to get married!" Jiang Yi said, then smiled at Father Ye. "Isn't Ye Yanran marrying Han Kai, the heir of the capital's top auction company? Why are you talking to me about this? Aren't you afraid Han Kai will misunderstand?"
Father Ye showed an embarrassed expression.
"Jiang Yi, what is Han Kai compared to you? You are much stronger than Han Kai. If I had to choose between you and Han Kai as my son-in-law, I would definitely choose you. You are the best son-in-law." Mother Ye said with a smile.
"Auntie, Han Kai is much stronger than me!" Jiang Yi said deliberately. "Han Kai is a rich second generation, the future heir of the Han family. As for me, I am nothing. I can't even find a job now. I'm just a failure!"
"How can you be a failure? If you're a failure, then Han Kai is worse than a failure!" Mother Ye quickly said.
"Alright, I know what you're thinking!" Jiang Yi said. "I heard Han Kai originally intended to marry Ye Yanran. But unfortunately, Han Kai has disappeared. His family still hasn't found him. Moreover, the Han family has been targeted, and their auction company has run into many problems. The Han family is likely to be ruined completely. If Ye Yanran marries Han Kai, she'll suffer a great loss. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless!
Jiang Yi had revealed their innermost thoughts. Jiang Yi was right. They had been very optimistic about Han Kai, but they never expected such a disaster to befall the Han family. Now, Ye Yanran could not marry Han Kai. Forcing Ye Yanran to marry Han Kai would be like pushing her into a fiery pit. They had no other choice now but to turn to Jiang Yi, hoping he would remarry Ye Yanran. With Jiang Yi marrying Dongfang Mei tomorrow, tonight was their only chance.
"Jiang Yi, I know that even though you don't say it, you still have feelings for Yanran!" Father Ye said to Jiang Yi. "After all that has happened, you and Yanran are the ones who should be together. You don't really like Dongfang Mei; you're just marrying her out of obligation."
"That's right, marrying Yanran is the best choice!" Mother Ye also quickly said. Ye Xiaofeng also chimed in to persuade Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Father Ye asked.
"You still don't know what Ye Yanran has been doing lately, do you?" Jiang Yi said. "She's been using the Xiao family's influence to cause trouble for Tiansheng Group. It looks like she wants to destroy Tiansheng Group. She's now at odds with me. Do you think Ye Yanran would agree to remarry me?"
"Besides, I have no intention of remarrying. You should give up on that idea!"
"It's not what you think!" Mother Ye quickly explained. "Yanran is just angry at the moment, angry that you won't remarry her, which is why she's doing this. Don't worry, I'll talk to Yanran when I get back and tell her not to oppose Tiansheng Group anymore!"
"We are a family, why should we fight amongst ourselves? This is not good for either of our families!"
"Exactly, my sister has always cared about you! Her intention in marrying Han Kai was only to get your attention," Ye Xiaofeng also said.
"Enough!" Jiang Yi said directly. "It's impossible for Ye Yanran and me. I'm marrying Dongfang Mei tomorrow. Our relationship ends here! Also, don't come looking for me again in the future, lest the Dongfang family misunderstands!"
"Jiang Yi, what you're saying is too much!" Mother Ye frowned and said to Jiang Yi, "Don't forget, if our family hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death on the streets."
Hearing this, Shen Lu couldn't help herself!
"Jiang Yi has already repaid your kindness!" Shen Lu said calmly. "In order to repay your family, Jiang Yi helped Ye Yanran become the head of the Xiao family. You know very well how much Jiang Yi has helped Ye Yanran and you all. Jiang Yi has treated you well enough; you are even!"
Mother Ye was rendered speechless. She didn't know how to refute. Jiang Yi had indeed helped Ye Yanran and them a great deal. If it weren't for Jiang Yi, they would still be in Jiangcheng. Su Dan Novel Network.
"This is between us and Jiang Yi. What right do you have, an outsider, to butt in!" Mother Ye stared at Shen Lu and said coldly.
"The chairwoman sent me. She said that if you are ungrateful, I shouldn't show you any respect!" Shen Lu replied.
"The choice in this matter rests with Jiang Yi. Even Li Ping has no right to interfere," Mother Ye said discontentedly.
