"Mr. Yi, is this how your Yi family treats its guests?" Yi Tianran's face turned cold, and she deliberately spoke in a foreign language: "If I had known that such ill-mannered people were from your Yi family, I shouldn't have cooperated with you in the first place."
Although he couldn't understand why Mrs. Marie, who could speak Mandarin, wanted to communicate with him in a foreign language, Yi Hai panicked completely after understanding her words. "Is there some misunderstanding? How did my sister-in-law offend you?"
Yi Tianran snorted coldly, looking at Ding Mei with a mocking gaze, "This old hag, she didn't discipline her idiot son properly, bullied that girl, and then she tried to coerce and entice him to take that innocent girl home to avenge her son!"
"I'm making this clear today: if the old hag doesn't apologize and swear on her son's life that she'll never bother this girl again, then our future cooperation is off the table."
Yi Hai was shocked when he heard that.
He finally secured this major jewelry project; how could he let a woman ruin it?
Thinking of this, he turned around and glared at Ding Mei with disgust. "Third sister-in-law! This Mrs. Marie is my most distinguished client. You must apologize to them immediately and swear on your son's life that you will never cause this lady any more trouble."
They were speaking in a foreign language, which Ding Mei couldn't understand at all, and she had no idea how the situation had turned out this way.
It was clearly this foreign woman who beat her up like this, yet she's being asked to apologize? That's trampling on her self-respect, and that's absolutely unacceptable.
Seemingly anticipating her outburst, Yi Hai lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Do you think I don't know all the shameful things your son has done? If you don't want him to become the target of public criticism, to be kicked out of the Yi Group headquarters, and to go to jail with the reputation of a criminal, you have to listen to me."
Ding Mei's biggest weakness in life is her son.
Upon hearing this, her expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of unease and chill crept into her heart.
Could it be that Yi Hai even knows that most secret matter?
"I...I apologize!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of intense anger and humiliation welled up inside him.
She had never been so humiliated since becoming the wife of Yi San.
She will remember this grudge, and she will make Yi Hai regret daring to treat her this way.
She reluctantly raised four fingers: "I'm sorry, Miss Chu. It was all a misunderstanding. I'm sorry. I swear on my son's safety that I will never bother you again."
Chu An'an was led out from behind by Yi Tianran in disbelief, and it took her a long time to slowly come back to her senses. "She...she really won't cause me any more trouble?"
“Yi Gui is her weakness; she would risk her life to protect her son.” This is also the reason why Yi Tianran made Ding Mei swear on her son.
Chu An'an felt a sense of relief, her eyes reddening with emotion. Before she could express her gratitude, Yi Tianran changed the subject again, "However, this woman is treacherous, cunning, and vindictive. She might resort to other tricks, so you'd better be careful."
Chu An'an was both flustered and moved. "Thank you so much for saving my life, ma'am. I have no way to repay you..."
“It’s alright, but I’m very curious why your mother treated you that way. Even if she was an adopted daughter, she shouldn’t have been so harsh.” Yi Tianran was quite curious about Chu An’an’s background.
She didn't show up at first because Chu's mother was present. If she rashly stepped forward to help Chu An'an, she might gain the upper hand temporarily, but if Chu An'an wanted to continue living in the Chu family, it would only make her situation worse.
“Maybe my existence is a burden!” Chu An’an said bitterly. “Even my biological parents didn’t want me and chose to abandon me. The Chu family kindly adopted me, and I should repay them, but I… can’t do that yet.”
One word in those words struck a chord with Yi Tianran, sparking a sudden inspiration in her mind.
She grabbed Chu An'an's arm, "You..."
"Ah!" Chu An'an suddenly cried out in pain, as if she couldn't withstand the force of the blow.
Yi Tianran had a bad feeling and subconsciously lifted her sleeve, only to find that Chu An'an's arm was covered with dense needle marks.
What's going on?
"N-nothing!" Chu An'an pulled her arm back, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Yi Tianran frowned. It seemed that this girl was hiding a secret.
After chatting casually with Chu An'an for a few more minutes, Yi Tianran returned to the jewelry exhibition venue.
Unexpectedly, I saw a tall and handsome figure at the exhibition—
"My God! Isn't that the president of the Fu Group? I never expected him to condescend to come to a jewelry exhibition like this."
"His status is worlds apart from the Yi family! Could it be that Yi Hai has such a lot of influence?"
"Forget it! I think he's only here for the legendary 'Amethyst Crown'."
"You mean the dignified President Fu would be interested in such a gemstone? With just a word from him, people would fight tooth and nail to give him any rare treasure, okay?"
"I heard that a new lady of the house has recently joined the Fu family. Perhaps Mr. Fu came here this time because his sweetheart likes this gemstone!"
Yi Tianran: "..."
No way!
Did that bastard install radar on her?
How did he manage to find this?
Just as she was about to go up and ask him, a figure walked up to Fu Yunchen even faster than Yi Tianran, excited and trembling, saying, "Mr. Fu, it is an honor to have you here. I, Yi, have not been able to greet you properly..."
Before Yi Hai could finish speaking, Fu Yunchen walked past him and stood in front of Yi Tianran, looking directly at her.
Before he could speak, Yi Tianran, caught up in her acting, clutched her chest and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Handsome guy, please don't stare at me with such fiery eyes. Although I know I'm beautiful, have a hot body, and am a rare beauty, I prefer younger men, so I can't accept you."
Fu Yunchen: "..."
Everyone present was speechless, completely petrified!
"Pfft—" In the distance, Yi Lianxue, who was watching the show, almost spat out a mouthful of saliva. She couldn't help but mock her on the spot: "Are you crazy, you old woman? Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? You're so ugly, yet you still dare to talk so shamelessly. Mr. Fu would like you? Ridiculous!"
Her words perfectly reflected the sentiments of everyone present!
This foreign woman is quite bold.
Although she takes good care of herself, she is plump and has freckles all over her face. Where does she get the confidence to think that Fu Yunchen is interested in her?
"Who is this?! They look completely unfamiliar!"
"They seem to be guests invited by the Yi family; they're really not presentable."
Yi Hai felt a lump in his throat and almost suffered a brain hemorrhage on the spot.
What is Mrs. Marley doing?!
If he offends President Fu, he'll suffer the consequences too.
Is a big deal that we finally managed to close going to fall through because of this ridiculous reason?
