Dongfang Yelei was taken aback. What did he want to see him at this hour?
Suddenly remembering what Dongfang Yi had said earlier that day, her face turned pale.
"Yi...Young Master, what brings you here?" Dongfang Yelei asked cautiously.
Dongfang Yi looked coldly at his good second uncle and said indifferently, "I came here to remind Second Master that you shouldn't covet what isn't yours, lest you lose your life. Those two are not people you can touch, otherwise we wouldn't have let you off the hook."
He knew Ye Mohan's character; how could he easily let someone treat his wife like that?
We're doing nothing right now, all because of Jian Yixue.
Besides, his good second uncle is no pushover either; he might cause trouble for the Dongfang family.
Therefore, he made a special trip here, hoping that he would leave Lancheng as soon as possible, and at least he couldn't be there while Jian Yixue was in Lancheng.
Then, remembering something, he added, "By the way, there are still three hours before the plane takes off. Second Uncle, please make good preparations. The African region will be entirely in your hands. I hope you can create great benefits for the Dongfang family."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yelei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He already knew the old man's attitude towards him tonight, and even if he wanted to stay, it wouldn't be easy.
Now, he only has one path ahead of him.
There is no other way.
"Young Master, must you treat your own uncle like this because of two insignificant outsiders? Aren't you afraid that the world will criticize you if they find out?"
Dongfang Yelei squinted, his words full of threat.
In his view, he and Dongfang Yicai were members of the Dongfang family, family members, and he shouldn't be outdone by two unknown people.
If people say that, the Dongfang family will be criticized.
To put it bluntly, he was betting that Dongfang Yi cared about the Dongfang family's reputation.
But he was wrong after all.
To Dongfang Yi, as well as the old man and the old lady, Jian Yixue was not an outsider, but rather a close family member, a lost gem in the vast ocean.
Dongfang Yi snorted coldly, his eyes utterly indifferent. "Second Uncle, you'd better prepare properly. Tonight's flight won't wait for anyone. If you really don't want to go to the African region, then stay in the Dongfang family. We can still afford to support an idle person."
His words were full of sarcasm.
He didn't care what people said or how they viewed him.
For him now, nothing is more important than having his family all together.
“You…” Dongfang Yelei’s face turned ashen.
He knew perfectly well what Dongfang Yi meant.
If he doesn't go to Africa, let him stay at home and be an idle person, and take back his rights.
This is a clear threat; how could he possibly agree?
He finally climbed to where he is now, how could he willingly go back to where he started?
Dongfang Yelei swallowed his words before finishing, gritting his teeth as he said, "I'll go."
"Then I wish my second uncle a safe journey," Dongfang Yi said coldly.
Then he turned and left, and Dongfang Yelei stared at Dongfang Yi's back as if he wanted to burn a hole through it.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yi, who was walking out, stopped and turned around to say, "By the way, Second Uncle, if anything happens to those two on their way back, I will hold you responsible."
He then gave Dongfang Yelei a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
Once the figure disappeared from sight, Dongfang Yelei could no longer conceal his emotions.
"Ugh... How utterly despicable!" With that, he overturned everything on the table to the ground.
They're all the same, young and old, none of them are good people. If he weren't still young and inexperienced, he would have dealt with them all and been done with it.
When Shenqiu returned, he heard the crackling sounds coming from the room, and his face suddenly turned pale.
At that moment, he didn't want to go in and risk getting into trouble. After waiting for a while until the noise inside subsided, he reluctantly went in.
Shen Qiu held his breath, secretly glanced at Dongfang Yelei, whose face looked extremely pale, and reported very cautiously.
"Master, everything is arranged."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yelei's expression grew even worse.
Shenqiu's words were nothing short of a reminder of Dongfang Yi's warning, which only made him angrier.
Seeing this, Shenqiu dared not even breathe too hard, for fear of displeasing Dongfang Yelei and being punished in the end.
Dongfang Yelei's face was ashen, and he said with extreme reluctance, "Let's leave the people behind."
Shen Qiu was puzzled after hearing this, but seeing that Dongfang Yelei's expression was not good, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Yes, Master."
Just as they were about to leave, they heard Dongfang Yelei's words.
"Pack your things, we'll be leaving for the airport in three hours."
Upon hearing this, Shenqiu asked, puzzled, "Master, aren't you...?"
Dongfang Yelei gave Shenqiu a cold look, and Shenqiu immediately dared not ask any more questions.
"Yes, Master."
That evening, Dongfang Yelei left Lancheng with his trusted confidants and others.
...
On the road.
As Jian Yixue gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the car window, she drifted into memories.
Currently, all clues are still under investigation, and it is unknown when the mother will be found and the family will be reunited.
Before, when she didn't know the truth, life wasn't so easy. Now that she knows, she doesn't want to wait a moment longer.
Especially tonight, feeling the warmth of her maternal grandparents, she missed her mother even more.
When Ye Mohan looked over, he saw this scene. He took Jian Yixue's hand with his free hand and said, "Don't be sad. I'm here. I will always be with you. Everything will get better slowly."
