Chapter 839 What is his background?
Ye Wanxi saw her senior brother's face darken instantly, and she immediately noticed the slight disdain in his eyes. She smiled slightly and said softly, "It's your uncle calling. It's probably something urgent. I'll take it first. If it's not too urgent, we can finish eating before going back."
The "uncle" that Ye Wanxi mentioned is Feng Tianyu's aunt's husband, and also the current boss of their agency, Xiao Yuti.
Ye Wanxi has had such good resources in recent years, and she can still travel around so freely, basically just lounging around. Xiao Yuti deserves a lot of credit for that.
Aside from occasionally running into her at the company and inviting her and Feng Tianyu to their home, this uncle-in-law and boss rarely bothered her with work-related matters.
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Feng Tianyu's expression softened slightly, and he nodded in response, "Mm."
Ye Wanxi initially thought that Xiao Yuti was calling her because something had happened at the company, but after listening to the other party's explanation, Ye Wanxi realized that it wasn't like that at all.
"Who are you saying is at the company?"
"The guests on that variety show you and Tianyu participated in before."
"Jiang Yulai?"
"Yes, yes, that's him."
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised and curious: "I didn't expect he could get you to come to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuti coughed lightly and explained somewhat awkwardly, "The boss of his company is the son of the grandson of the cousin's sister of my great-grandfather's cousin."
Ye Wanxi: "???" What the heck?
Xiao Yuti seemed speechless at the complicated family relationship that he was too lazy to explain. He took a deep breath before continuing, "In short, he is a distant relative of mine who is also my college roommate and best friend."
"Jiang Yulai's stepfather is one of the major shareholders of their company. The reason he invested in their company was for this kid. Now that the kid is in trouble, as the company boss, he will inevitably be targeted by others. The kid's stepfather and his mother rushed over overnight after they found out about his accident. They originally wanted to take him back to E country overnight, but the kid has gone crazy and refuses to go back. He specifically asked for you, saying that only you can save him. If you don't save him, he will only be waiting to die if he goes back."
"He was adamant, so the two adults had no choice but to compromise and stay with him. Right now, the three of them, along with my buddy, are waiting downstairs."
After explaining, Xiao Yuti cleared her throat and whispered, "I've already talked to Gao Min about that kid's situation, and I know you probably don't want to get involved. But that kid's stepfather isn't a good guy. My friend and I are suggesting that you come back and explain the situation to them, so they can give up. Otherwise, they might bother you again or hold a grudge and cause trouble behind your back."
Ye Wanxi understood immediately. The reason Xiao Yuti called her today was partly because he was worried about his good brother, and partly because he was afraid of his stepfather, Jiang Yulai.
This piqued Ye Wanxi's curiosity; just who was Jiang Yulai, this stepfather?
When Ye Wanxi first met Jiang Yulai, she was immediately drawn to his greasy, ordinary-looking demeanor, his overly complicated history of womanizing, and the female ghost following behind him. She hadn't really paid any attention to his background.
In subsequent encounters, he was quite sensible and didn't bother her again. She was too lazy to pay attention to him and naturally didn't care about his family background, thus overlooking this point.
"I understand. Tianyu and I are just a short distance from the company right now. Wait for us for fifteen minutes, and we'll be there now." If we can get things done quickly, we should be able to make it in time for lunch.
Xiao Yuti breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Wanxi agreed, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, take your time, no need to rush. It's okay to let them wait a while."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi hung up the phone, turned to look at Feng Tianyu, and said with a faint smile, "You heard everything?"
Feng Tianyu said with a sour face, "If you don't want to go, I can..."
"I want to go."
Feng Tianyu choked, his expression growing increasingly displeased.
"But I'm not going to help; I'm going to watch the show."
Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow: "A good show?"
"Do you think Jiang Yulai's parents know what he did, and do they care that a child was indirectly killed by his father before he could even be born?"
A cold glint flashed in Feng Tianyu's eyes as he said in a chilling voice, "He most likely doesn't know, but..."
"but?"
“If you raise a son like this, even if you know about this, you might be angry, or you might not even be angry. But regardless of whether you are angry or not, you definitely won’t pursue it too much afterward, and you might even cover it up for him.”
After all, there is only one son. As long as the son is alive, there will be more unborn children in the future, and even more.
Moreover, even though the children are gone, the son is still alive, and the living are always more valuable than the dead.
It's actually quite easy to guess what these kinds of people are thinking: selfish and hypocritical, wearing a human skin but not necessarily doing anything decent.
"If that's the case, what do you plan to do?"
"What can I do?" Ye Wanxi chuckled softly. "The people are from here, and the ghosts aren't from here either. Apart from the ground beneath their feet, they don't have anything from here on their bodies. What can I do? I can't do anything about it. I'm powerless to help."
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyu knew that his junior sister was determined not to get involved in this matter. She was only going there out of respect for Xiao Yuti, her boss and uncle, and to watch the show.
Although he was somewhat unhappy that their time together had been interrupted again, he could only play along since his junior sister wanted to watch the fun.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Wanxi and Xiao Yuti arrived at the company on time. Accompanying them to pick them up was a round-faced, chubby fat man who looked like Maitreya Buddha when he smiled.
Standing next to Xiao Yuti, who is well-maintained and has a great figure, she looked several years older than him.
This Mr. Jia seemed to realize that his image was somewhat dragging down his good friend's image. When he met Ye Wanxi and the other person, he deliberately took a deep breath and tried to hide his round little belly.
Unfortunately, he was fat and couldn't hold his breath for long. He soon couldn't help but let out a breath, and his hard-won belly instantly softened and even bounced back with a "Duang".
"Pfft..." Ye Wanxi couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.
Xiao Yuti's lips twitched, and she slapped the person next to her on the shoulder: "Alright, stop joking around. Wanxi, this is the buddy I told you about, his surname is Jia."
Ye Wanxi greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Jia."
