Dongfang Mei watched Jiang Yi's receding figure with indifference.
In Dongfang Mei's eyes, Jiang Yi would eventually be hers, it was only a matter of time.
Dongfang Mei was confident enough.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi, back in his room and about to lie down, heard his phone ring.
He paused when he saw who was calling.
It was Ye Yanran.
Jiang Yi answered the phone.
"I want to talk to you..." Ye Yanran's voice came from the other end.
"We have nothing to talk about. I'm very busy now. We can talk later when I have time." Jiang Yi prepared to hang up.
"Is Ye Shen's death related to you?" Ye Yanran asked.
The question caught Jiang Yi by surprise.
How did Ye Yanran know about this?
"I mean, I just want to ask you clearly in person."
Ye Yanran said, "I'll be waiting for you at Yi Ren Coffee Shop..."
Jiang Yi hung up and took a deep breath.
He had handled the matter of killing Ye Shen flawlessly. He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
What surprised Jiang Yi even more was that Ye Yanran had found out.
Jiang Yi left his room and drove to Yi Ren Coffee Shop.
He had to get to the bottom of this.
He couldn't let anyone suspect him.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the entrance of Yi Ren Coffee Shop. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ye Yanran.
Ye Yanran was wearing a white dress and looked like she had made an effort to dress up.
That white dress was the first gift Jiang Yi had given Ye Yanran.
Jiang Yi had just met Ye Yanran back then, and she had been very happy when she received the dress.
After all these years, Jiang Yi hadn't expected Ye Yanran to still keep the dress.
This made Jiang Yi's thoughts begin to wander, and he couldn't help but recall the past.
"Let's go, we can talk inside."
As Ye Yanran spoke, she walked towards the coffee shop.
Hearing Ye Yanran's voice, Jiang Yi came back to his senses and followed her in.
It was already around 9:30 PM, and there weren't many people in the coffee shop.
Jiang Yi and Ye Yanran found seats and sat down.
After Ye Yanran ordered two cups of coffee, she turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Do you remember this coffee shop? This is where we had our first date. You might have forgotten, but I remember it very clearly."
"I don't remember!" Jiang Yi said.
Ye Yanran had divorced him despite their years of relationship, and now she was talking about the past. It was laughable.
Seeing Jiang Yi's indifferent attitude, a hint of bitterness appeared in Ye Yanran's eyes.
"I know I made a big mistake before. I shouldn't have divorced you, let alone abandoned you!"
Ye Yanran took a deep breath.
"I wish I could get your forgiveness. I just hope to make up for the mistakes I made in the past, so that I can feel a little better."
This was the first time Ye Yanran had opened her heart to Jiang Yi!
The Ye Yanran of the past was very cold.
Now, she seemed like a wronged little woman.
"Let's let the past be the past! We are both doing well now, there's no need to bring up old matters." Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Ye Yanran didn't say anything.
"Now I feel very free, without any constraints. I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to care about what others think!"
Jiang Yi said, "I've moved on."
Hearing this, Ye Yanran fell silent!
She knew that Jiang Yi no longer cared about anything related to her, not even their past feelings.
Jiang Yi had come today to make things clear with Ye Yanran once and for all.
"Can we still be friends?" Ye Yanran asked.
"Of course, aren't we friends now?"
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Not only are we friends, but we are also business partners..."
Ye Yanran also smiled, but it was a very forced smile. Su Dan Novel Network
Jiang Yi's attitude was clear.
"We're here to talk about business, right!" Jiang Yi said.
"Oh!"
Ye Yanran came back to her senses and said, "After you left my house, I was preparing to drive to the company, but I saw you following Ye Shen on the road. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but later I heard that Ye Shen was dead."
After speaking, Ye Yanran continued, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."
"I wasn't following Ye Shen!"
Jiang Yi said with a nonchalant smile, "I saw Ye Shen walking alone on the street, looking distraught. I was worried something might happen to him. Later, I realized he was not in any danger, so I drove away!"
"As for what happened afterwards, I'm not too sure!"
Ye Yanran nodded and said nothing more.
She still had many unanswered questions but didn't press further.
She trusted Jiang Yi.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"
Jiang Yi stood up, preparing to leave.
"Okay!"
Ye Yanran nodded and walked towards the coffee shop entrance with Jiang Yi.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to get into his car and leave, a car suddenly drove towards them.
It was a luxury BMW, worth over ten million yuan, a car that ordinary people couldn't afford.
As the car door opened, a handsome man in a designer suit stepped out, holding a bouquet of red roses with a gentle smile on his face.
Jiang Yi initially thought it was a passerby, but then the man walked directly towards Ye Yanran.
"Yanran, I finally found you!"
The man handed the roses to Ye Yanran and said with a smile, "I bought these specifically for you. Do you like them?"
Jiang Yi thought Ye Yanran knew him, but he realized Ye Yanran had a puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know you!" Ye Yanran frowned.
"Yanran, I'm Shi Jun. I didn't expect you to forget me."
Shi Jun said with a smile, "I was your English teacher. We met online. The first time I saw you in a video, I fell in love with you."
"I originally wanted to come back to China to find you, but I heard you were married, so I gave up. I was heartbroken for a long time because of this."
"Later, I saw on your social media that you had divorced, so I immediately returned to China. I don't want to miss you again."
"So it's you." Ye Yanran smiled.
"Yes!" Shi Jun nodded gently.
"Who is this?" Shi Jun looked at Jiang Yi.
"I am Miss Ye's friend..." Jiang Yi deliberately called Ye Yanran "Miss Ye".
Jiang Yi didn't want to disrupt Ye Yanran's situation.
"Whether you are Miss Ye Yanran's friend or someone who wants to pursue Yanran, I must warn you, you are not worthy of Yanran. Only I am worthy of her." Shi Jun said arrogantly to Jiang Yi.
"Mr. Shi, I hope you can recognize your status. Don't interfere in my affairs!"
Ye Yanran frowned. "Also, I have no interest in you. I hope you will respect yourself."
