Chapter 840 Of course he dared not admit it
Mr. Jia was flattered and said with a smile, "Don't call me Mr. Jia, it sounds too formal. Lao Xiao and I have been best friends for over ten years. If Xiao Ye doesn't mind, you can call me Uncle Jia."
Before Boss Jia could finish speaking, Xiao Yuti slapped him again.
"Don't try to act all familiar and claim kinship with me. You want people to call you uncle? Do you deserve it?" He, as the uncle-in-law, is still stuck at the "President Xiao" stage. This guy actually wants to bypass him and become the uncle first. How can such a good thing happen?
Mr. Jia wasn't angry at being slapped like that. He muttered to himself, "If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why are you being so fierce?"
In just a few words, Xiao Yuti had intimidated him twice, making it seem like she didn't like him at all.
However, Ye Wanxi and the other woman knew that Xiao Yuti's actions precisely demonstrated that the two had a very good relationship, and it was no wonder that Xiao Yuti was willing to ask them for help on his behalf.
"Let's talk about these things later. Where are they? Are they still inside?"
"Yes, yes, the whole family is inside." Boss Jia said, and then whispered to Ye Wanxi, "This Mr. Charman is no pushover. He is the young master of a branch of a prominent noble family in E country. Although he is only a branch, his family has a lot of influence in E country. When you go in, try to be more discreet when you speak, so as not to cause trouble for you later."
No sooner had Boss Jia finished speaking than Xiao Yuti punched him again: "Isn't it all your fault for being so greedy? Why did you have to get involved with these people? Still dreaming of your international success? I think you're just too ambitious, always thinking about going abroad. Don't you realize that the overseas market isn't easy to open up? You can't expect to make a profit without putting in the effort. Now you've fallen for it, haven't you?"
After being rebuked by Xiao Yuti, Boss Jia was speechless and looked aggrieved, like a punching bag.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi roughly understood the situation between this Boss Jia, Jiang Yulai, and his stepfather.
"It's alright. Country E is Country E, and this is this place. No matter how powerful their family is in Country E, can they cross national borders to attack me?"
If that's the case, then don't blame her for acting in self-defense.
However, Ye Wanxi felt that they were unlikely to give her that opportunity.
Boss Jia had no idea what Ye Wanxi was thinking. He looked at Ye Wanxi as if she were a naive young girl who didn't know anything about the world.
But when his gaze fell upon Feng Tianyu beside Ye Wanxi, Boss Jia ultimately shut his mouth in silence.
He himself was no match for that big shot, but this one was different.
If a fight really breaks out, it'll be like the battle between the gods of hell, and the outcome is hard to predict. This poor little devil should say less and try to minimize his presence to avoid becoming cannon fodder.
When Ye Wanxi and her companions entered the waiting room, the first thing they saw was a tall, blond, blue-eyed man who was at least 1.8 meters tall.
The man was embracing a woman with an elegant demeanor, delicate and pretty features, and red-rimmed eyes that instantly aroused his protective instincts.
With just one glance, Ye Wanxi and her companion were certain that these two must be Jiang Yulai's biological mother and stepfather.
As for Jiang Yulai, he was wearing a mask, completely wrapped up from head to toe, and sat on a chair to the side. He looked lifeless and even more listless than the last time we met.
Hearing the noise, the three people inside the house turned their heads to look at the same time.
Jiang Yulai jumped up and pointed at Ye Wanxi with an excited expression.
"Alex!" Seeing her son so agitated, Ms. Jiang quickly stepped forward, took his hand, and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, is this the Miss Ye you mentioned?"
Jiang Yulai seemed to want to speak, but could only utter a harsh sound, his hand still stubbornly pointing at Ye Wanxi.
Ms. Jiang patted her son's hand reassuringly, wiped away her tears, turned to look at Ye Wanxi, and said gently, "You must be Miss Ye. I am Alex, also known as Yu Lai's mother. My surname is Jiang."
Ms. Jiang speaks gently and softly, possessing a calming power that makes people unconsciously feel good about her.
Unfortunately, Ye Wanxi was not among them.
She looked at the hand extended in front of her but did not reach out to shake it back. She simply smiled and said, "That's right, I am the Miss Ye your son mentioned. You gentlemen have come all this way to my company because you need something from me."
When Ms. Jiang saw that Ye Wanxi did not shake her hand as she had expected, her outstretched hand froze.
Hearing her feigned ignorance, her smile faded slightly, but quickly returned. She subtly withdrew her hand and said, “We’ve come for Alex. Ever since he left E Country and came here, he’s been feeling unwell. Especially lately, he keeps saying he’s encountered ghosts and is being haunted. We heard that Miss Ye is quite knowledgeable about such things, and Alex also believes that you can save him, so we’ve come here, albeit without permission.”
Ye Wanxi felt somewhat uncomfortable from the moment she heard Ms. Jiang's first words.
What do you mean by saying that this guy has been feeling unwell ever since he left E country and came here? Is this a veiled implication that Jiang Yu came here and got tainted by something dirty, which is why he is like this now?
Ha, they won't take the blame for this.
"Please allow me to correct two important things about Ms. Jiang."
Ms. Jiang was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Wh...what?"
"First of all, your son wasn't recently haunted by a ghost, nor did his health problems begin after he left E country and came here."
"What... what do you mean by that, Miss Ye?"
Ye Wanxi feigned surprise, widening her eyes: "What, didn't your son tell you that the female ghost haunting him was brought here from Country E?"
Ms. Jiang was indeed taken aback upon hearing this. Even the foreigner standing next to her, who was very dissatisfied with Ye Wanxi's attitude, couldn't help but change his expression and turn to look at Jiang Yulai.
Jiang Yulai froze, as if he had thought of something, and lowered his head guiltily to avoid their gazes.
Ye Wanxi, however, was still not satisfied and dropped another bombshell with a faint smile: "Since you don't even know this, then you probably don't know that the female ghost had a relationship with your son before she died, and even had his child, right?"
Ms. Jiang gasped, her face full of surprise, and said, "Alex, is this true?"
Jiang Yulai could not possibly admit it, and shook his head vigorously.
Ms. Jiang wavered when she saw his denial. Compared to a stranger, she was naturally more willing to believe her son.
But Ye Wanxi scoffed at this moment, dropping the final bombshell: "Of course he wouldn't dare admit it. If he admitted it so easily, how would he explain that out of selfishness, he indirectly caused the death of his lover and her unborn child, making her so angry that she wanted to drag him down to hell and be his wife and child in the underworld?"
