"Yiyi, come here, your uncle has something to tell you."
With Jiang Cheng speaking, Li Yiyi felt a sense of relief; it had been frustrating that he hadn't said anything.
Meeting Li Yiyi's bright eyes, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to say what he was going to say next.
"Yiyi, there's something your uncle has been thinking about and wants to tell you. Please promise your uncle first, you might get excited."
Remembering Li Yiyi's extraordinary strength, Jiang Cheng was genuinely worried that Li Yiyi would beat up the entire Ma family after hearing this.
"Uncle, tell me, I'm not angry."
Why is she angry?
However, judging from the looks of it, it shouldn't be about her causing trouble.
"Well, it's like this. Our Jiang family had several close relatives, but due to various reasons, some of them separated and others dispersed. Only the Ma family is still in contact. When our relationship was good, we remembered the previous relationships between the several families, so our family arranged a marriage with the Ma family."
"Unfortunately, things are unpredictable and the world changes quickly. The marriage did not go through, but the token is still there. Not long ago, the Ma family came to your maternal grandfather with the token. Your maternal grandfather did not pay attention for a moment and admitted that the token belonged to our Jiang family."
At this point, Jiang Cheng gave his grandfather a mournful look, but his grandfather simply looked up at the ceiling and didn't look at Jiang Cheng anymore.
He never expected that when the Ma family brought over a stone slab, it looked like this to others, but only Grandpa Jiang knew that there was something hidden inside the stone slab, something that truly belonged to the Jiang family.
In the past, things were unpredictable, and no one could say what tomorrow would bring. To ensure their own future, this marriage was arranged.
Unsurprisingly, those things are gone and that's it. But if anything unexpected happens, and the Ma family doesn't acknowledge the agreement or keep their word, those things will have to be returned, indirectly leaving something for their own family as well.
Little did he know, the Ma family had brazenly set him up. Things had escalated, and he now had to publicly admit wrongdoing before figuring out a solution.
Thinking about the information about the Ma family that his family had found, Grandpa Jiang was even more worried. Being entangled with those people was really tough!
Looking at Jiang Cheng, then at Jiang's maternal grandfather, Li Yiyi felt as if she understood something.
"So, that task fell to me."
The somber atmosphere vanished instantly, and Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Um."
His niece has one good quality: she's easygoing and doesn't get angry easily.
See? All the worries they had were summed up in one sentence by Li Yiyi, who merely frowned slightly.
As for marriage, Li Yiyi really doesn't have any feelings for him. There's more than one person who wants to get engaged to her, and it's not like they can't break off the engagement. She knows about Grandpa Jiang and the others, and they'll definitely be on her side.
Li Yi was just wondering what kind of family the Ma family was. It shouldn't have anything to do with her, and it shouldn't have anything to do with Li Hunlongtian and the others either!
If it's not a problem, everything is fine; if it is, then it's hard to say.
Li Hun and Long Tian were like flies, swarming towards anything that caught a whiff of something.
"Yiyi, don't worry, your grandfather will stand by you. When the Ma family comes over, we'll discuss it first. An engagement is absolutely out of the question."
The main reason Grandpa Jiang sent the Ma family over was that he remembered some things from the past, and he wanted to return the belongings to their rightful owners.
Their family left a token with the Ma family, and the Ma family also had a token in their possession. As for whether there was anything inside the token, they didn't bother to find out.
If things can be resolved amicably, everyone will be happy. If not, we'll have to find other solutions. We can't let the word "betrayal" be applied to their family.
"Um."
Li Yi nodded, puzzled as to why Grandpa Jiang and the others were so worried about such a small matter.
Upon seeing the Ma family members enter, Li Yiyi realized that encountering people like the Ma family made it difficult not to feel worried.
Don't think that just because Ma Mei is hiding at the very back, she won't recognize her.
But why was Ma Mei looking at her a little strange? The next moment, an extremely familiar electronic voice reached Li Yiyi's ears.
[Host, please note that the current target, Li Yiyi, has a favorability rating of zero.]
The familiar electronic voice successfully threw Li Yiyi into a panic. No wonder, no wonder a marriage proposal suddenly appeared.
If Ma Mei wanted to win her over, then everything would make sense.
Looking back, if Ma Mei has a system, then the system that Li Su unbound back then should have been bound to Ma Mei.
This is absolutely unbelievable. They have no regard for hygiene at all. It's one thing for Ma Mei not to know that the system was secondhand, but how could Li Hun not know?
If they knew, they wouldn't have bothered to recycle and disinfect the waste before releasing it. That's really unhygienic.
Shaking her head, Li Yiyi inadvertently met Ma Mei's gaze. How to put it...it was a bit hard to say.
Ma Mei looked at her hesitantly, wondering what she was doing. She felt sorry for her; was she out of her mind?
Does she need Ma Mei's pity?
She, Li Yiyi, is rich, talented, and has a happy and loving family. She doesn't need anyone's pity.
"Who is Li Yiyi?"
From the moment they entered, Mr. and Mrs. Ma raised their eyes high, making sure the whites of their eyes were completely visible, as if only in this way could they appear superior.
Their precious son said that since Li Yiyi is going to marry into their family, they, as her in-laws, will have to give her a hard time from the start and won't give her a kind look.
Seeing the behavior of the two, Grandpa and Grandma Jiang, who had always maintained excellent composure, completely lost it. They had already seen through the Ma family's character on their first meeting, let alone on their second.
"Father, Mother, she...she is Li Yiyi."
Ma Mei, though frightened, had to cautiously remind them, glancing at her parents as she spoke. Seeing them looking over, her small body immediately shrank back.
