"This matter probably has something to do with his father, Qian Wanduo," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Shen Lu still felt a little confused.
Jiang Yi didn't linger. He went straight from the outskirts to the Dongfang family's residence.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to enter, he happened to meet Dongfang Mei coming out of the villa.
"I'm sorry, I'm back late!" Jiang Yi said.
"You are indeed back late."
Dongfang Mei took a deep breath and said, "After you left, your aunt also left. She said that if you weren't here, the matter of our marriage would be postponed."
Jiang Yi felt helpless!
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said, "My mother is very eager for us to get married, but she has some misunderstanding about you. Coupled with the fact that your mother rejected her just now, she will definitely be affected."
"But don't worry, I'll talk to her. Tomorrow, you and Aunt Liu can come to our house, and I guarantee there won't be any more accidents."
"Okay," Dongfang Mei agreed.
"Then it's settled!" Jiang Yi said.
"There's something I'd like to know. What is Auntie really up to?" Dongfang Mei asked with a frown.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"You'll understand later!"
After saying that, Jiang Yi drove away.
Dongfang Mei stood there, full of confusion.
As soon as Jiang Yi arrived home, he was called to the living room by Li Ping.
"Why did you leave when you were at the Dongfang's just now?" Li Ping asked.
"This matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you slowly later," Jiang Yi said.
"It's okay, no matter how complicated, I have plenty of time today. I can listen to you slowly," Li Ping said, looking at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to explain everything that had happened.
"Xiao Bei is my granddaughter. It would indeed be a good thing if she could be brought back to our Jiang family. However, I'm worried that Ye Yanran won't give up easily. If things get messy, it will be troublesome!" Li Ping said. "Our Jiang family is not what it used to be. We cannot tarnish the reputation of the Jiang family, do you understand?"
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll do my best!" Jiang Yi said.
"It's good that you understand. You are a steady person. You know what to do without me saying it."
After speaking, Li Ping continued to ask Jiang Yi, "Have you seen Dongfang Mei? What did she say?"
"She said she would come to our house with Aunt Liu tomorrow!" Jiang Yi said.
"I thought Dongfang Mei was so formidable, but it turns out to be nothing," Li Ping scoffed.
"Mom, can you stop causing trouble?"
Jiang Yi said, "Since you want me to marry Dongfang Mei, then let us get married properly. There's no point in continuing to cause trouble."
"Alright!"
Li Ping nodded in agreement.
"Mom, there's something I'm still not at ease about!"
Jiang Yi said, "You and Dongfang Mei are both strong-willed people. Once Dongfang Mei enters our family, I'm worried you won't be able to get along well..."
Before Jiang Yi could finish, Li Ping interrupted him.
"You've told me this many times, and I've also told you that as long as Dongfang Mei doesn't mess around, I won't make things difficult for her. Living together as a family and getting along harmoniously makes life comfortable. I've been through this, and I understand these principles much better than you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt relieved.
Marrying Dongfang Mei seemed effortless for Jiang Yi, but he carried a great burden in his heart.
Because Jiang Yi had been married once before, and after his last marriage, he felt a bit fearful about getting married again.
"There's something I need to remind you. Don't always be subservient to Dongfang Mei. Otherwise, after you get married, she'll bully you every day! You are a man, and you should have the demeanor of a man," Li Ping said.
Jiang Yi was stunned by these words!
He didn't know why Li Ping would suddenly say something like this.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to ask, Li Ping had already gone upstairs to her room.
Jiang Yi poured himself a bottle of red wine and sat on the sofa, drinking alone.
Now, whenever he thought about getting married, Jiang Yi felt a little scared.
His previous failed marriage made him a bit nervous about getting married.
Jiang Yi did not return to his room, but slept on the sofa in the living room for the entire night.
The next morning, Jiang Yi was woken up by the sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw Shen Lu sitting on the opposite sofa, drinking tea.
"What? Are you scared?" Li Ping asked.
"What am I scared of? What is there for me to be scared of?" Jiang Yi said.
"Stop pretending. You're my son. Don't you think I know what you're thinking?"
Li Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry. You were married into the Ye family before and suffered grievances because no one supported you. Now that I'm here to support you, whoever dares to bully my son, I won't let them off. Besides, this time you are marrying a wife, not marrying into the Dongfang family."
Jiang Yi felt a little helpless.
He didn't expect his mother to be able to see even this.
"Shen Lu, you go and get ready. The Dongfang family should be here soon!" Li Ping said.
"Yes!"
Shen Lu responded and left the living room to make arrangements.
"If today's discussions go well, you can get married three days from now. This matter cannot be delayed," Li Ping said.
"Didn't you say a week later?" Jiang Yi said.
"A week is too long."
Li Ping took a deep breath.
"If the time is prolonged, I'm worried about further complications. I don't know what tricks Ye Yanran will play. She has been targeting Tiansheng Group and the Dongfang family with company matters during this time."
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Liu Hong.
After Jiang Yi answered the phone, his expression became grim. Su Dan Novel Network
"What's wrong?" Li Ping asked.
"Dongfang Mei is missing!"
Jiang Yi said, "Aunt Liu just told me that Dongfang Mei hasn't returned since she left the villa yesterday until this morning. We've searched everywhere she might be, but we still haven't found her."
"How could this happen?" Li Ping's brows furrowed tightly.
"I need to hurry and find a way to locate Dongfang Mei. Something must have happened to her."
After saying that, Jiang Yi left the villa.
Li Ping was worried about Jiang Yi's safety and asked Shen Lu to accompany him.
Jiang Yi was very worried about Dongfang Mei.
In the entire capital, there was only Wanhui Company bold enough to do something like this!
Even if ordinary people had the guts, they wouldn't have the ability. With Shadow's protection, ordinary people wouldn't even have a chance to get close to Dongfang Mei.
An hour later, the car arrived in the courtyard of Wanhui Company.
As soon as Jiang Yi entered the hall, he encountered Young Master Qiu.
"Jiang Yi, you look so panicked. Did something happen?" Young Master Qiu asked Jiang Yi.
"Your father kidnapped my friend. I'm here to get him to release her," Jiang Yi said.
Young Master Qiu frowned upon hearing this.
