Xiao Xin was a grateful person, and her adoptive parents had taken care of her for so many years that she naturally wouldn't leave them.
"Jiang Yi, I can't bring this up with Xiao Xin. Find a chance to probe her and see what she's thinking," Li Ping said.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi nodded. Even if his mother hadn't said anything, he would have found an opportunity to ask Xiao Xin about her thoughts.
After leaving the room, Jiang Yi went to the living room. Chen Kun and Shen Lu were discussing company matters. Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Chen Kun grinned, "Big brother, Auntie is too amazing! Yesterday, we went to the company with her, and things that were supposed to take the company half a month to complete, she finished in a day! And several projects that hadn't been successfully negotiated before, she easily settled. Company matters, in front of her, feel like playing a game!" Chen Kun's face was full of admiration. Even Shen Lu praised her highly.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. His mother was born into a business family and had been exposed to this line of work since childhood, so her abilities were naturally incomparable to ordinary people. Shen Lu and Chen Kun were far inferior in front of her.
Just then, Li Ping came down from upstairs. Seeing Li Ping arrive, Chen Kun and Shen Lu quickly got up and stood respectfully to the side.
"Uncle!" Chen Kun and Shen Lu greeted.
"Mm!" Li Ping responded and sat on the sofa. "You two sit too! Don't stand." Hearing this, Shen Lu and Chen Kun finally sat down.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, surprised at how fearful they were.
"Jiang Yi, there's something I want to ask you!" Li Ping said.
"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Are you really planning to marry Dongfang Mei?" Li Ping asked. This question stumped Jiang Yi. In fact, Li Ping had asked this more than once; this was the second time.
"I don't want to interfere in your young people's affairs, but I still have to remind you, you've been married before. Marriage is something you should understand; you must find someone you can spend your life with," Li Ping said. Jiang Yi frowned; what she said was not untrue.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, Dongfang Xun entered the living room from outside.
"Auntie!" Dongfang Xun greeted Li Ping. Dongfang Xun was very arrogant before, and after suffering a great loss at Li Ping's hands, he was much more respectful now.
"Do you need something?" Li Ping asked indifferently.
"I heard what you just said, Auntie, and you're right. Marriage is a major life event and cannot be taken lightly!" Dongfang Xun said. "I think Jiang Yi and my sister's situation shouldn't be rushed. Let them get to know each other for a year or two, and then let them decide if they want to get married!"
Li Ping didn't speak but turned her gaze to Jiang Yi. Li Ping was waiting for Jiang Yi to make a decision.
"Alright!" Jiang Yi agreed! He truly wasn't ready for marriage. It was just that he had an agreement with Dongfang Mei before, and he couldn't go back on it. Now, Dongfang Xun and his boss had come up with such a good plan.
Dongfang Xun, worried that Jiang Yi might go back on his word, quickly said to Jiang Yi, "Since you've agreed, then this matter is settled. You and my sister will get to know each other for two years, and only then can you get married. During these two years, you can choose to break up!"
"No problem!" Jiang Yi said.
"I'm afraid you'll renege, kid. How about this? Write an agreement, and you sign it!" Dongfang Xun said. Afterward, Dongfang Xun found paper and a pen, wrote the agreement, and had Jiang Yi sign it and leave his thumbprint. Jiang Yi complied!
Dongfang Xun grinned, holding the agreement. Dongfang Xun's objective was finally achieved! "With this agreement, I'm not afraid you'll cheat my sister anymore!" After saying this, Dongfang Xun swaggered out of the villa with the agreement.
"I have to go to work!" Li Ping said, standing up and heading to the company. Shen Lu and Chen Kun immediately followed.
Just as they left, Jiang Yi's phone rang. Looking at it, it was from Young Master Chou.
"Get to the bar quickly! I'm waiting for you at the bar!" The Young Master Chou on the other end of the phone hung up immediately. Jiang Yi put on his jacket, left the villa, and drove to the bar!
Upon reaching the entrance of the bar, Jiang Yi walked straight in. There wasn't a single customer in the main hall, only a few waiters and over a dozen bodyguards brought by Young Master Chou. Young Master Chou had a special status, so it wasn't strange for him to bring so many bodyguards. What puzzled Jiang Yi was that it was the weekend, and the bar should have had quite a few customers.
"You are Jiang Yi?" The man in the lead, dressed in a suit, looked at Jiang Yi with sharp eyes. These bodyguards looked like ordinary bodyguards, but they were actually killers, and "bodyguard" was merely a cover for their identities.
"That's right, I am Jiang Yi!" Jiang Yi said.
"Kid, I heard that as soon as you joined the company, you killed the Yuwen brothers and a master under Manager Du! You're quite capable! In less than a month since joining the company, you've become an eighth-level killer. When I get a chance, I'll spar with you. I want to see what you're really made of!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi sneered. It seemed his reputation was quite considerable! So many killers in Wanhui Company knew him.
"Where is Young Master Chou?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Don't know!" The man in the suit sneered. Jiang Yi was a bit displeased; the man in the suit and these bodyguards were always around Young Master Chou. The man in the suit clearly didn't want to tell him.
Jiang Yi ignored the man in the suit and walked straight upstairs. Young Master Chou might be upstairs.
"Stop!" The man in the suit walked directly over, blocking Jiang Yi's path, and said indifferently, "You can't go up."
"Why?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Because I don't want you to go up!" The man in the suit was deliberately provoking Jiang Yi.
"Get lost!" Jiang Yi said sternly.
"Kid, are you tired of living? Don't think that just because Young Master Chou values you, you can look down on us." The man in the suit stared intently at Jiang Yi. As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so bodyguards around them came over and surrounded Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi sneered. It seemed he had no choice but to fight! Since they wanted to die, he would fulfill their wish.
"Swish!" Jiang Yi's fist shot directly towards the man in the suit. Seeing Jiang Yi make a move, the man in the suit immediately dodged to the side. What the man in the suit didn't know was that Jiang Yi's punch was a feint. Before he could react, Jiang Yi's palm struck the man in the suit's face.
