The next morning, as soon as Jiang Yi opened his eyes, he saw Dongfang Mei sitting on a chair by the bed, legs crossed, with a playful smile on her face.
"When did you get into my room?" Jiang Yi asked, speechless.
"I entered the room three minutes ago!" Dongfang Mei replied.
Jiang Yi quickly put on his clothes, drank some tea, and then asked Dongfang Mei, "Have you found my sister?"
"Almost!" A hint of pride appeared on Dongfang Mei's face. "I've changed my mind. I can't tell you the clue about your sister yet. Once I find her, I'll naturally tell you. If I tell you the clue now and you find your sister yourself, what if you renege?"
Jiang Yi felt a bit annoyed. Dongfang Mei was breaking her promise. They had agreed yesterday that if he went to her house as a guest, she would give him the clue. But today, she refused to say anything.
"I won't renege!" Jiang Yi said.
"I don't believe you," Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said. "Don't worry, give me two more days, and I'll find your sister."
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. Dongfang Mei had struck a nerve.
"Do you want to marry me that badly?" Jiang Yi asked Dongfang Mei.
"Of course!" Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and smiled slightly. "You are the only person I like, and marrying you is the happiest thing in my life."
"Marriage doesn't guarantee happiness! Marriage is just a formality," Jiang Yi said.
"I don't want to hear these grand theories. I just want to marry you now." Dongfang Mei was not shy at all. It seemed she was determined to cling to Jiang Yi for the rest of her life.
Jiang Yi was very frustrated. There was no reasoning with Dongfang Mei. She had never been married and didn't understand what marriage truly meant. Only when two people who truly love each other get married can they find true happiness. Sudannovels.com
"Knock, knock..." A knock sounded from outside the room.
Dongfang Mei stood up and hid behind the cabinet. This was the capital, and many people knew Dongfang Mei's identity. She didn't want to be recognized.
Jiang Yi stood up and opened the door. Two waiters walked in from outside. Jiang Yi was stunned. He hadn't called for any service.
"Mr. Jiang, it's like this: our hotel is having a promotional event today. If you fill out a form, the hotel will give you a free bottle of wine!" One of the waiters said, handing a form to Jiang Yi.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi picked up the form and looked at it. It wasn't that Jiang Yi was greedy for small favors, but he wanted to see what this hotel was up to.
As Jiang Yi was carefully reading the form, a cold glint flashed, heading straight for his throat. Just as the dagger was about to pierce Jiang Yi, he grabbed the waiter's wrist and kicked him flying.
The other waiter simultaneously attacked Jiang Yi, thrusting a dagger towards his back from behind. Jiang Yi immediately dodged. At the same time, Jiang Yi knocked the waiter behind him to the ground. Both of their arms were broken, and they were sweating profusely from the pain, letting out screams.
"Who sent you to kill me?" Jiang Yi asked sternly.
The two waiters' lips were sealed, and they didn't say a word.
"This is outrageous!" Dongfang Mei emerged from behind the cabinet, her sharp gaze falling on the two waiters. "Speak, who exactly are you? If you don't talk, I'll show you how formidable I am."
Upon seeing Dongfang Mei, the expressions of the two waiters immediately became complicated. Clearly, they hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to be in Jiang Yi's room.
Jiang Yi noticed their expressions and sneered inwardly. It was obvious they knew Dongfang Mei. This could only mean one thing: they were sent by Dongfang Xun. Dongfang Xun hadn't managed to kill him last time and was still unconvinced, so he sent people to kill him again.
"It seems Dongfang Xun is still not giving up!" Jiang Yi stared at the two waiters and said, "I already warned him to stop courting death, but he simply doesn't listen." If it weren't for Dongfang Mei's sake, he would have dealt with him long ago.
"What? You're my brother's men?" Dongfang Mei stared at the two waiters. The two waiters lowered their heads and remained silent. Although they didn't say a word, Dongfang Mei had already guessed that they were sent by Dongfang Xun.
"He's gone too far. I'll go back and settle the score with him!" Dongfang Mei said, full of anger.
"Good. Go back and remind him that this is his last chance. If he dares to bother me again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei.
"Alright!" Dongfang Mei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yi. "I know you're angry right now. My brother dotes on me and thinks you're not good enough for me, which is why he sent people to cause trouble for you."
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. The people of the Dongfang family were truly eccentric.
"I'll go back to my brother!" Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi. "I promise, this kind of thing won't happen again." After saying this, Dongfang Mei left the room with the two waiters.
After this incident, Dongfang Mei felt a bit awkward. As soon as she left the hotel and reached the street outside, she saw Dongfang Xun's car. Dongfang Mei opened the car door and walked straight towards it.
"You've disappointed me greatly!" Dongfang Mei looked at Dongfang Xun and said calmly. "I like Jiang Yi and want to marry him, but you want to kill him. Do you even consider me your sister?"
"I'm doing this for your own good! That kid Jiang Yi is simply not worthy of you," Dongfang Xun said with a cold tone.
"How do you know Jiang Yi is not worthy of me?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"You are the future heir of the Dongfang family's patriarch, while that kid is nothing. If you marry him, you won't be able to help him at all, and he'll become a burden to you. More importantly, after you get married, you certainly won't be happy!" Dongfang Xun said.
"After all I've said, don't you understand what I mean?" Dongfang Mei felt speechless.
"I understand!" Dongfang Xun said with a solemn expression. "What you need is someone with great abilities. Only such a person is worthy of marrying you. But Jiang Yi, he is nothing, and I will absolutely not allow him to marry you."
"Since I can't reason with you, I can only warn you not to bother Jiang Yi again. If he even loses a single hair, I won't let you off!" Dongfang Mei said angrily.
"For you, for the Dongfang family, even if it means losing my life, I won't frown. But I will never allow anyone who poses a threat to you and the Dongfang family to exist," Dongfang Xun said with a firm attitude.
Dongfang Mei heard this and took a deep breath. She understood that arguing with Dongfang Xun was useless; he wouldn't listen.
