Shenqiu had been by his side for so many years, and he was very adept at using her.

If he is taken away too, it will be inconvenient for him to do anything.

"Okay." Dongfang Yi was unusually agreeable.

"Then your second uncle thanks you, young master."

"Get over here right now!" Dongfang Yelei said fiercely to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu's face turned deathly pale. He knew that if he didn't die, he would be badly injured when he returned.

But he couldn't say no, and he endured the pain all over his body as he struggled to walk over.

"Young Master, in that case, we shall take our leave."

Just as Dongfang Yelei was about to leave with his men, Dongfang Yi called out to him, "Wait, Second Uncle."

Dongfang Yelei frowned, clearly displeased.

"Young Master, is there anything else?"

I've already left everyone here for you, what else do you want?

"Second Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."

"What else does the young master intend to do? I wonder if the old master is aware of what the young master is doing?" Dongfang Yelei asked, his eyes half-closed.

"I don't need to tell the head of the family everything I do. There's no need for you to worry about these things, Uncle. You should worry more about yourself."

Dongfang Yi said casually.

If Grandpa knew what Second Uncle had done to Jian Yixue, he certainly wouldn't let him off so easily!

Doing this will only please Grandpa.

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Yelei asked, frowning.

Dongfang Yi spoke of it as if it were a trivial matter, in an extremely ordinary manner.

"Second Uncle doesn't need to worry about things in the US anymore."

“It’s perfect timing. We decided at today’s meeting to develop the African market. I was originally thinking about who should go and when, but now I see that my second uncle is so capable, he’s the first choice.”

Dongfang Yelei immediately flew into a rage and declined, saying, "Young Master,..."

"Second Uncle can set off this afternoon. I will personally inform Grandpa," Dongfang Yi interrupted Dongfang Yelei.

Dongfang Yelei's face immediately turned as colorful as a palette.

Dongfang Yi's words clearly blocked his escape route.

He originally hoped that Dongfang Yi would not dare to do anything excessive to him out of respect for the old man.

But Dongfang Yi's words have cut off his escape route.

The African region is notorious for its poverty and violence, and is widely recognized as a tough nut to crack.

Developing a market there would require unpredictable costs, making it difficult to even profit, let alone make a profit.

There is absolutely no hope.

The other group of barbarians were completely unreasonable, and he used to be afraid that his life would be threatened.

Therefore, the Dongfang family has never considered developing it over the years.

However, with the economic prosperity of various countries around the world in recent years, new opportunities have emerged in the African region, which has led the Eastern family to turn their investment focus back to that area.

He had heard rumors before, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and to him.

"Second Uncle, you can have someone book the tickets now. There are only flights this afternoon for the next three days," Dongfang Yi "kindly" reminded him.

He did this because he didn't want Dongfang Yelei to cause trouble in his life.

In these turbulent times, he also worries that someone might take advantage of the discord within the Dongfang family to do something.

Perhaps things will be better if we send people away.

Dongfang Yelei snapped out of his daze. "Young Master, is there any room for discussion about this? Didn't you already promise me that I could go to the United States?"

"Really?" Dongfang Yi feigned ignorance.

"I forgot to tell my second uncle that I have decided via video conference to go to the United States, and I will leave the African region to my second uncle."

Dongfang Yi said it that way on purpose. In fact, the video conference had only been going on for a short time, and this was the decision he had just come up with.

Dongfang Yelei was completely unaware of this.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yelei knew that continuing to argue would be futile, so he turned and left indignantly.

Shen Qiu watched Dongfang Yelei walk away and followed him.

After finishing his business, Dongfang Yicai turned to Jian Yixue and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jian Yixue raised an eyebrow and gestured for him to look at Chen Ran. "Look, your man is injured."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran looked ashamed.

He had just observed that of the three people present, he was indeed the only one who was injured.

He added that if he went, he would be humiliating himself.

Chen Ran secretly vowed that he must train hard in the future, otherwise how could he protect the young master?

Dongfang Yi was taken aback, then looked at Chen Ran. Seeing that he looked alright, he wasn't so worried.

He knew Chen Ran's skills; he could probably take on one person at a time without any problem, but it was already a miracle that he could still stand here against so many people.

Jian Yixue added at the right moment, "But don't worry, he has already taken the medicine, and he will be fine in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi immediately understood.

"Thank you, cousin."

Chen Ran bowed and thanked her, "Thank you very much, Miss."

"It's no big deal," Jian Yixue waved her hand.

Dongfang Yi smiled, looking very proud.

This is his cousin; she's even more capable than him.

"Let me take you there. I'm sure Grandpa and Grandma have been waiting for a long time."

Jian Yixue had no objection and nodded.

Needless to say, Ye Mohan was even more so.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yi looked at Chen Ran beside him and instructed, "I'll leave this to you."

"Yes, young master." Chen Ran accepted the order.

...

When Dongfang Yi led Jian Yixue to the old man's residence, the old man and the old lady were already standing at the door, eagerly waiting.

When he saw Jian Yixue, he quickly went over to her.

Just as Dongfang Yi was about to greet them, the two old men completely ignored his presence.

They walked past him without even glancing at him.

Dongfang Yi blinked, somewhat unwilling to believe it.

Has he fallen out of favor?

Turning my head, I saw the old man and the other man holding Jian Yixue on either side in the middle, while Ye Mohan stood not far behind them.

As soon as the old lady saw Jian Yixue, she asked with concern, "Are you tired from walking here? Yi'er is really something, not even letting anyone hold an umbrella for Xue'er in such a bright sun."

Dongfang Yi looked up at the sky.

The sunlight is so gentle, do I need an umbrella?

The old man immediately chimed in, "That's right, he's such a grown man, how can he not be considerate of others? No wonder he can't find a wife."

Dongfang Yi: "..."

Does this have anything to do with whether he has a wife or not?

Besides, even if he's inconsiderate, isn't it Ye Mohan's fault?

Why is he being blamed again?

Dongfang Yi glanced at Ye Mohan with great dissatisfaction.

Ye Mohan seemed oblivious to this, his eyes filled with relief as he looked at Jian Yixue, who was being cared for by her family.

He voluntarily stepped back, knowing that Xue'er longed for this kind of family affection.

He hoped that Xue'er would lack nothing for the rest of her life.

He hoped that Xue'er could have love, friendship, and family.

Hearing the words of concern, Jian Yixue felt a glimmer of light in the corner of her heart that had been locked away for many years.
