"So what?" Mother Ye said. "Miss Dongfang is just the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, while Yanran is the head of the Xiao family, controlling the entire Xiao family. They are not on the same level at all. Besides, can the mere Dongfang family compare to the Xiao family?"
"What do you know?"
Ye Xiaofeng said, "Miss Dongfang is the future heir of the Dongfang family. In the future, the entire Xiao family will be under Miss Dongfang's command. Moreover, the Dongfang family is immensely wealthy and is a top-tier large family in the business world of the capital, and even the entire Hua Xia country."
"Now, the Dongfang family is still growing stronger, while the Xiao family, due to internal strife, appears to be a large family on the surface, but has actually degenerated into a third-rate family!"
Upon hearing this, Mother Ye's sense of superiority vanished.
"If I were Jiang Yi, I would definitely choose Miss Dongfang over my sister!" Ye Xiaofeng said.
"Is the Dongfang family really that powerful?"
Mother Ye asked.
"Of course. The Dongfang family's reputation is not as prominent as the Xiao family's, but the Dongfang family's strength is far beyond what the Xiao family can match!" Ye Xiaofeng said.
Mother Ye's expression began to become complicated.
"It seems I've truly become a clown!" Mother Ye took a deep breath.
"More than just a clown?"
Ye Xiaofeng continued, "We are actually nothing. Although my sister has become the head of the Xiao family, we are not part of the Xiao family."
"As you've seen, even the mere collateral family members in the Xiao family don't take us seriously. What kind of status do we have? In everyone's eyes, we are just country bumpkins who are clinging to my sister because we have no power or influence."
These words caused Mother Ye's sense of superiority to collapse again.
"If something happens to my sister, or if she loses her position as family head, we will all be driven back to Jiang Province. Then we will have nothing, and we'll have to return to that small place called Jiang City. We might not even have a place to stay in that small town anymore!"
Ye Xiaofeng said, "When we came to the capital this time, we sold all the companies and factories back home, and even sold our villa. We truly have nothing now."
Mother Ye's face was very unsightly.
Ye Xiaofeng's words hit the nail on the head.
After so many experiences, Ye Xiaofeng had started to become smarter and saw many things more clearly.
"We're finished!"
Mother Ye frowned and said, "If you hadn't enlightened me, I would probably still be bragging. If we lose our status and power, we won't have anything to brag about!"
Ye Xiaofeng was helpless.
He didn't want to say these things, but he had to now.
He had finally come to the capital to develop his career and didn't want to be driven out of the capital and forced to return to that small place called Jiang City.
"Then tell me, what should we do now?" Mother Ye asked.
Mother Ye was at a loss now.
"We can only beg Jiang Yi!"
Ye Xiaofeng said, "Although Jiang Yi might not agree to help, this is the only way. I can't think of any other good solution! We are strangers in the capital and have no one to help us."
"How can I still have the face to beg Jiang Yi?"
Mother Ye was desperate.
At this moment, Jiang Yi had returned home.
Li Ping saw Jiang Yi returning so late and frowned.
"What were you doing? Why are you back so late?"
"I went to treat Ye Yanran!"
Jiang Yi said, "Ye Yanran has amnesia. She finally became the head of the Xiao family, and now she is in a precarious situation..."
"You are already divorced from Ye Yanran. These are not matters you should be concerned about. You should focus on your own affairs! People from the Dongfang family will be here soon, and they are likely not coming with good intentions this time," Li Ping said.
Seeing Li Ping looking like she was facing a formidable enemy, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"You rascal, I am your mother, and you are laughing at me!" Li Ping shot Jiang Yi a glance.
"Don't overthink it. It's just the two families having a meal together!"
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Today, you are the main character. Don't have any psychological burden. It's fine even if you fall out with the members of the Dongfang family."
"You said it yourself!" Li Ping smiled.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded with a smile.
Just then, a servant ran over and said to Li Ping, "Miss Dongfang is here."
"Have the members of the Dongfang family arrived?" Li Ping asked. Su Dan Novel Network
"No, only Miss Dongfang is here alone," the servant replied.
"I see. Please invite her in!" Li Ping said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Mei walked into the hall.
Dongfang Mei glanced at the villa and then hurried over to greet Li Ping.
At the same time, she presented Li Ping with many gifts.
This was not surprising at all!
Li Ping was Dongfang Mei's future mother-in-law, so it was natural for Dongfang Mei to try her best to curry favor with Li Ping.
Li Ping did not stand on ceremony and accepted all the gifts.
"When will your Dongfang family members arrive?" Li Ping asked.
"Soon! They will arrive in half an hour!" Dongfang Mei said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping instructed Shen Lu and the others to prepare.
"Jiang Yi, I need to talk to you!"
Dongfang Mei pulled Jiang Yi aside and said, "You have been targeted by assassins from Wanhui Company. Manager Du wants to take your life."
Jiang Yi already knew about this.
Manager Du was the one who wanted to kill him the most right now.
"Be careful yourself!"
Dongfang Mei said.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded, then asked, "How did you know? Logically speaking, you shouldn't know anything about Wanhui Company."
"I have my ways!"
Dongfang Mei revealed a proud smile.
"Since you are so eager to know, I'll tell you. A few days ago, I bribed a leader in Wanhui Company, and he told me all these things. I spent tens of millions to bribe this guy!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi finally understood.
Money makes the world go 'round; this saying was indeed true.
From this incident, it could be seen that Wanhui Company was not an impenetrable fortress; as long as enough money was offered, people from Wanhui Company could easily be bribed.
"You are quite capable!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and smiled slightly, "You've only been at Wanhui Company for a little over a month, yet you've become a manager and have gained the trust of the Wanhui Company's heir and boss."
"I'm just lucky!" Jiang Yi replied.
"This has nothing to do with luck!"
Dongfang Mei said, "Ever since you arrived at Wanhui Company, you've thrown Wanhui Company into chaos. An ordinary person wouldn't have this ability! You are now a celebrity in Wanhui Company; everyone knows you."
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, a servant ran in from outside and said to Li Ping, "People from the Dongfang family have arrived!"
"Invite them in!"
Li Ping said.
"Yes!"
The servant acknowledged and ran out.
After a moment, the servant returned with a look of helplessness.
