After a moment, Ye Yanran finally recovered her senses.
She knew what Jiang Yi meant; he clearly wanted to sever all emotional ties with her.
There would never be any possibility between her and Jiang Yi again.
"Alright!"
Ye Yanran forced a smile onto her face.
"There's something I want to ask you!"
Jiang Yi looked into Ye Yanran's eyes, "Did your father tell you anything?"
"No, he just said you would help me solve the company's problems and told me not to worry."
After speaking, Ye Yanran asked Jiang Yi, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually, don't misunderstand," Jiang Yi said.
It seemed Ye Yanran still didn't know she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family was the foremost business family in China. As the eldest daughter of this family, Dongfang Mei's status was incredibly noble; perhaps even she paled in comparison.
Such an arrogant figure was now troubled by the affairs of a small company.
Jiang Yi was somewhat curious, wondering what expression Ye Yanran would have upon learning she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.
When she suddenly became someone with immense power, would she change?
Power could change anything.
Seeing Jiang Yi staring at her like that, Ye Yanran felt he was hiding something.
She knew Jiang Yi wouldn't tell her, so she didn't ask further.
Just then, Ye's mother and Ye Xiaofeng walked in from the hall, carrying many shopping bags, apparently just back from shopping.
Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Ye's mother's expression became somewhat cold.
Shi Jun's appearance had overshadowed Jiang Yi, so Ye's mother hoped Ye Yanran would marry Shi Jun.
In Ye's mother's view, Shi Jun surpassed Jiang Yi in identity, status, connections, and power, making him far superior to Jiang Yi.
Ye's mother's principle for marrying off her daughter was to marry her to whoever was more capable.
"Yanran, did Shi Jun not come looking for you today?" Ye's mother asked Ye Yanran.
Afterwards, Ye's mother placed the shopping bags on the table and took out some daily necessities for men.
"Yanran, when Shi Jun came yesterday, he gave you many expensive gifts. I calculated, and they are worth over three million yuan."
Ye's mother said to Ye Yanran, "Our family isn't as wealthy as Shi Jun's, but we can't treat him poorly. Look, I bought Shi Jun a watch, a suit, leather shoes, and many other things..."
"When Shi Jun comes, give them to him personally. Although these are not as valuable as Shi Jun's gifts, they represent your thoughtfulness."
These words were spoken intentionally for Jiang Yi to hear.
The implication was that she had already accepted Shi Jun as her son-in-law, Jiang Yi had no chance, and he should go wherever it was cool.
"Mom, what are you fussing about!" Ye Yanran was somewhat annoyed.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Ye's mother took Ye Yanran's hand.
"If you're doing it for my good, then stop fussing. Is your fussing useful? I will not marry Shi Jun, so give up on that idea!" Ye Yanran became increasingly angry.
"Yanran, why are you so stubborn?"
Ye's mother frowned, "Originally, I wanted you to remarry Jiang Yi, but he already has someone."
Ye's mother directly dragged Jiang Yi into it.
Ye Yanran was so angry she couldn't say a word.
She was already worried that Jiang Yi would misunderstand. With Ye's mother's meddling, Ye Yanran felt that her situation with Shi Jun would cause Jiang Yi to misunderstand even more deeply.
Ye's mother simply didn't understand Ye Yanran's inner thoughts.
Finally, Ye Yanran was so angry that she went back to her room.
Jiang Yi had no intention of lingering and prepared to leave.
Who Ye's mother wanted to marry Ye Yanran off to had nothing to do with him; he had no interest in such matters.
Suddenly, at that moment, Shi Jun walked in from outside.
Shi Jun was dressed very fashionably, wearing a suit and sunglasses.
Upon seeing Shi Jun, Ye's mother's face was full of smiles. She hurried over to greet Shi Jun enthusiastically and personally poured him a cup of tea.
Ye's mother's attitude towards Jiang Yi was vastly different from her attitude towards Shi Jun.
This showed that Ye's mother completely considered Shi Jun her son-in-law.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
Ye's mother was truly snobbish.
However, thinking about it, if she weren't snobbish, she wouldn't be Yanran's mother.
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to be here!"
Shi Jun's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi ignored Shi Jun and turned to leave.
It wasn't that Jiang Yi was putting on airs, but Jiang Yi could tell that Shi Jun was very good at acting.
When Ye Yanran was present, he was very gentlemanly, but when Ye Yanran was absent, he spewed filth from his mouth.
"What's the rush? I was just planning to have a good chat with you!"
Shi Jun sneered, "I advise you to stop pestering Yanran from now on. This is my final warning, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. I'm not a patient person."
Shi Jun's words were a threat to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi had initially planned to leave, but upon hearing these words, he stopped and turned to look at Shi Jun.
"Shi Jun, I also advise you not to put on a show in front of me all the time. Having an uncle who is the president of a provincial chamber of commerce is nothing to brag about."
"Hearing your tone, you're not convinced?" Shi Jun said dismissively.
"I'm not unconvinced, I just don't take you seriously! In front of me, you're not even as significant as a slightly strong ant."
Jiang Yi shrugged.
"Haha!"
Shi Jun burst into laughter.
"Jiang Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a show-off. You're the originator of showing off, I truly bow down to you!"
Shi Jun mocked, "Do you have any self-awareness? Your Tian Sheng Group got into trouble not long ago. If you were truly capable, why didn't you solve it yourself instead of begging my uncle to help you out?"
Jiang Yi couldn't be bothered to waste words with Shi Jun and turned towards the door.
"Stop right there."
Shi Jun immediately stood up and blocked Jiang Yi's path, sneering, "Kid, you need to have self-awareness, otherwise you'll just be a joke, understand?"
"Tsk!" Su Dan Novel Network
Jiang Yi burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Shi Jun frowned.
"I'm laughing at you, you know? You look more like a joke now, a complete clown."
After saying this, Jiang Yi patted Shi Jun's shoulder, "Mr. Shi, I suggest you change your name! Your name is a joke."
With that, Jiang Yi strode away.
Shi Jun watched Jiang Yi's receding back, a flicker of killing intent in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared as he resumed his guise as a gentleman.
"What did Jiang Yi mean by that last sentence? Why did he tell Mr. Shi to change his name!"
Ye's mother was stunned, her mind unable to grasp the meaning.
