It took Liu Hong a good twenty minutes to finally shake off the fans and get into Dongfang Mei's car.
As soon as she got in, she gave Dongfang Mei a hug.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to greet them, Liu Hong suddenly hugged him as well.
Jiang Yi felt a bit awkward.
"You're my future son-in-law, we're family now, so it's only natural for me to hug you," Liu Hong said with a smile.
Jiang Yi forced a smile onto his face.
Liu Hong was also very beautiful and looked quite young. Sitting next to Dongfang Mei, they looked like sisters.
No matter how you looked at them, they didn't seem like mother and daughter.
"Jiang Yi, this is a gift for you!"
Liu Hong took a delicate box from her handbag and handed it to Jiang Yi.
"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this gift," Jiang Yi refused.
"Don't be so quick to refuse, take a look first!"
Liu Hong opened the box, revealing a set of exquisite golden needles.
Jiang Yi was stunned; these were no ordinary golden needles.
"I put a lot of effort into getting this set of golden needles. They are called the Nine Heavens Needles, crafted from meteorites from outer space. There's only one set in the world, a treasure that is truly unique," Liu Hong said.
Jiang Yi picked up a golden needle and immediately felt a warm current enter his skin.
This was truly a treasure among treasures, priceless.
He remembered his master mentioning the Nine Heavens Needles years ago.
His master had dreamed of obtaining this set of golden needles, and he never expected it to fall into Liu Hong's hands.
If it were anything else, Jiang Yi would have been indifferent.
However, the Nine Heavens Needles held an irresistible allure for him.
"If you like it, then accept it!"
Dongfang Mei saw how much Jiang Yi liked the set of golden needles.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony! Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Yi accepted the Nine Heavens Needles.
As a physician, Jiang Yi had almost no resistance to such a treasure.
"How are you two getting along now?" Liu Hong suddenly asked Dongfang Mei and Jiang Yi.
"We're doing very well."
Dongfang Mei smiled and said, "We'll get married once I find his sister."
Liu Hong smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.
"You two are a match made in heaven. You'll be very happy when you get married. That way, I can rest assured," Liu Hong said with a smile.
"Of course, Jiang Yi and I are destined to be together from our past lives," Dongfang Mei said without a trace of shyness, her face full of happiness.
Jiang Yi felt helpless.
When the car returned to the villa, Liu Hong and Dongfang Mei went inside.
Jiang Yi followed them.
"This villa is a little small and not very high-class, but it's quite nice. I plan to stay here for a while, is that okay?" Liu Hong looked at Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei.
"Of course, it's okay!" Dongfang Mei agreed immediately.
Jiang Yi found it hard to refuse, so he could only nod.
Since Liu Hong had come all the way to their home, he couldn't exactly turn her away.
Besides, she had given him such a precious gift earlier.
It was hard to refuse when you'd received such a generous gift.
"Auntie, I heard from Dongfang Mei that you've found a clue about my sister..." Jiang Yi asked Liu Hong.
"Yes!"
Liu Hong nodded and said, "The people I sent have found that your sister might be in the capital. As for her exact location, we haven't found that out yet."
"But don't worry, with the Oriental family personally involved, we will definitely help you find your sister."
Jiang Yi frowned slightly.
Why would his sister go to the capital?
What exactly happened during that car accident all those years ago?
Thinking about it, Jiang Yi's mind became a mess.
Nothing else mattered right now; the most important thing was to find his sister and compensate her properly.
She must have suffered a lot over the years.
"Jiang Yi, I heard that your cooking is even better than that of professional chefs. I want to try it today and see if it's true," Liu Hong said.
Dongfang Mei had told Liu Hong about this.
Liu Hong was somewhat skeptical.
After all, Liu Hong was not only a popular star but also one of the most successful businesswomen.
Even within China, she was a top figure, having tasted all sorts of delicacies.
To ensure Liu Hong and the Dongfang family would help him find his sister wholeheartedly, Jiang Yi agreed to personally cook a meal for Liu Hong.
After informing them, Jiang Yi drove to a nearby large supermarket.
For a top-quality meal, one naturally needed top-quality ingredients.
After Jiang Yi left, Liu Hong took a sip of tea and turned her gaze to Dongfang Mei, asking, "Do you really... like Jiang Yi that much?"
"Yes!"
Dongfang Mei nodded. "I feel exceptionally happy when I'm with him. I will marry no one but him in this lifetime."
"If that's the case, then I will definitely help you with all my might!"
Liu Hong smiled and said, "To be honest, Jiang Yi has made a very good impression on me. It would be wonderful if he could become our Dongfang family's son-in-law. With my help, you will surely be able to be with Jiang Yi."
Dongfang Mei was overjoyed to hear this.
Meanwhile, after buying the ingredients, just as Jiang Yi was about to enter the villa, Mother Ye came out of the villa.
Mother Ye was dressed more like a lady of leisure than before, her entire outfit costing at least over a million.
The necklace around her neck was also a very expensive gemstone, worth at least one to two million.
Mother Ye was a person who cared about appearances and loved to show off.
Now that she had money, her first priority was naturally to adorn herself.
"Jiang Yi, I just happened to have something to talk to you about!"
Mother Ye walked towards Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't want to deal with Mother Ye, but he stopped nonetheless.
"Our Ye family's current status is all thanks to you."
Mother Ye said to Jiang Yi with an affectionate smile, "We forced Yanran to divorce you back then. I hope you don't hold a grudge against Yanran..."
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
Mother Ye might acknowledge her mistake verbally, but she might not truly understand her fault.
He had been a son-in-law in the Ye family for five years, and he knew Mother Ye's character very well.
"Ever since you left Jiangcheng last time, Yanran has been completely despondent. I know she still can't let you go."
"I know you won't get back together, but I hope you will help Yanran more, for the sake of the child."
"Lidushi is not the same as Jiangcheng. When she comes to Lidushi to develop, she will definitely encounter many unsolvable problems. Only you can help her."
Mother Ye said earnestly.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
If Ye Yanran encountered any trouble, he would definitely help her.
It was because he had promised Father Ye.
He was doing all this to repay Father Ye for taking him in back then.
Once Ye Yanran regained her status as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, he would have repaid Father Ye's kindness.
"I will help her! But that is for Father Ye's sake," Jiang Yi said calmly.
"With your words, I am relieved!"
Mother Ye said with a smile.
