Overlord Star

Chapter 539 An Old Acquaintance

Jiang Yi was stunned once more!

He never expected such words to come from his mother's mouth.

What was the difference between her doing this and taking advantage of someone’s misfortune?

How could he do such a thing?

Moreover, Jiang Yi had no interest in the Oriental family’s assets or their so-called status and position.

“I disagree!”

Jiang Yi said directly.

“Whether you agree or not, you have to. It’s your parents’ order, are you not going to listen?” Li Ping said angrily.

This was the first time Li Ping had lost her temper with Jiang Yi.

“I don’t want to take advantage of misfortune!” Jiang Yi said.

“This is not taking advantage of misfortune!”

Li Ping took a deep breath and said, “I’m doing this for your own good. I am your mother, and I must plan for your future. Parents love their children, and they must plan for their children’s long-term future! We don’t need to discuss this further; it’s decided.”

With that, Li Ping got up and walked upstairs.

“I know you’re doing this for my own good, but it’s unnecessary. I already have Tiansheng Group. Isn’t that enough? When Tiansheng Group becomes powerful, it will completely surpass the Oriental family. Your schemes are completely meaningless!” Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Li Ping stopped.

“I really don’t know what you’re so conflicted about!”

Li Ping looked at Jiang Yi. “You and Dongfang Mei are going to get married sooner or later. What’s the difference between marrying now and marrying later? Aren’t you going to get married anyway?”

“My father’s great revenge has not been avenged, the assassin organization Wan Hui Company has not been destroyed, and my uncle who killed my father has not been eliminated. Until these matters are resolved, I cannot get married,” Jiang Yi said.

“You refuse to get married! Fine, then we will sever our mother-son relationship!”

Li Ping said, then directly returned to her room, ignoring Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was speechless and helpless!

This was Li Ping’s trump card, and he had no way to deal with it now.

Jiang Yi could not bring himself to sever their mother-son relationship.

She and Xiao Xin were the only two relatives he had in this world.

Shen Lu and Dong Rui both looked at Jiang Yi.

They had also not expected Li Ping to be so eager for Jiang Yi to marry Dongfang Mei.

“What do you plan to do?” Shen Lu asked.

“What do you think I should do?” Jiang Yi retorted.

“I think you should obey your mother!”

Shen Lu sighed lightly and said, “Your mother is forcing you to marry Dongfang Mei for your own good…”

Shen Lu was suppressing the bitterness and helplessness in her heart.

“What about you?” Jiang Yi’s gaze fell on Dong Rui.

“I think Shen Lu makes sense!” Dong Rui said.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

His mother was indeed thinking of him, but he was not ready to get married at all.

“I’m going out for a bit…”

Jiang Yi stood up from the sofa.

“Where are you going?” Shen Lu asked.

“I’m in a bad mood, I’m just going for a walk!” Jiang Yi said.

Shen Lu originally wanted to follow him, but upon hearing Jiang Yi’s words, she stopped.

She knew that at this moment, she should not disturb Jiang Yi, and he should be left alone.

After Jiang Yi left the villa, he drove around the streets aimlessly.

Seeing a bar not far away, Jiang Yi parked his car.

He planned to go in for a drink or two!

As Jiang Yi got out of the car, a luxury car suddenly stopped next to him, and a familiar figure stepped out.

It was Ye Yanran!

Ye Yanran was wearing a white business suit, her face devoid of expression, and her eyes flickering with coldness.

Many people around cast admiring glances at Ye Yanran.

Ye Yanran was beautiful and always a stunning sight wherever she went.

Ye Yanran also saw Jiang Yi.

But she didn’t move, nor did she speak!

Jiang Yi also remained silent.

The two of them simply looked at each other where they stood.

Looking at Ye Yanran, Jiang Yi felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness, as if the woman standing before him was no longer Ye Yanran.

Aside from her appearance, there was nothing that made Jiang Yi feel familiar.

“Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here!” Ye Yanran finally spoke.

However, Ye Yanran’s tone was filled with indifference, as if two strangers were talking.

“It is indeed a coincidence!”

Jiang Yi said, then asked, “Is the child doing well?”

“She’s very well, thank you for your concern!”

Ye Yanran said, “Since I’ve met you, there’s something I need to tell you in advance. Tian Sheng Group and I will soon become competitors, as will the Oriental family. Out of our past acquaintance, I’m just giving you a heads-up. You’d best take care of yourself!”

Jiang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

It seemed Ye Yanran was finally going to make a move against Tian Sheng Group and the Oriental family.

Ye Yanran hated him for abandoning her and Xiao Bei, and she hated Dongfang Mei even more for snatching what rightfully belonged to her. This was her revenge.

“You don’t need to do this!” Jiang Yi said.

“Whether it’s necessary or not is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you!”

Ye Yanran said indifferently, “I am not someone who accepts fate. My destiny should be changed by myself. I don’t want to rely on anyone; I want to rely on myself!”

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

“There’s something I want to clarify, I’m not doing this for you!” Ye Yanran said.

“I know!”

Jiang Yi shrugged.

Just then, a luxury sports car worth a considerable amount drove over and stopped beside them.

The car door opened, and Han Kai stepped out.

Han Kai held a bouquet of roses, and his gaze towards Ye Yanran was filled with tenderness.

“Yanran, you’ve kept me waiting. This is for you!”

Han Kai handed the roses to Ye Yanran and said, “There are no flower shops nearby. I drove for half an hour to a flower shop in the city center to buy these!”

“Thank you!”

Ye Yanran did not refuse and accepted the roses from Han Kai.

Seeing that Ye Yanran had finally accepted his flowers, Han Kai’s face was filled with joy.

Every time Han Kai met Ye Yanran before, he would give her roses, but she would always refuse them.

Even so, Han Kai still did not give up and continued to give them every time.

Han Kai was very patient.

Because he knew that when Ye Yanran accepted his flowers, it meant she was accepting him. Su Dan Novel Network.

“Yanran, don’t worry, I will definitely treat you well!”

Han Kai said gently to Ye Yanran, “You know in your heart how much I love you. After we get married, I won’t let you suffer any grievances.”

Ye Yanran remained silent.

Han Kai’s gaze swept over and fell on Jiang Yi.

Then, he walked straight towards Jiang Yi.

“Kid, you’ve got some nerve!”

Han Kai stared at Jiang Yi and said, “You’ve actually followed her all the way here. I advise you to give up on this. You saw just now that Yanran has accepted me. You have no chance!”
