The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 785, Temporary Regret of Marriage (3)

Closing the door, Jiang Yisheng took off his hat and mask, smiling brightly, "Sure, my treat."

Wen Rang stroked his chin, taking a careful look at him, "You look good, but seem to have lost some more weight."

"Heh."

Jiang Yisheng smiled lightly, "Have I lost weight?"

Wen Rang nodded, "I thought you might have gained quite a bit in the two months we haven’t seen each other, but it seems I was overthinking it."

"That’s even better so you don’t have to tell me to lose weight," Jiang Yisheng joked about himself.

Wen Rang said, "Let’s talk while we eat. I rushed here right after getting off the plane; I haven’t even had a meal yet."

Jiang Yisheng pulled out a chair to sit down, sloppily rolling up his sleeves, "You order, I’m easy."

Knowing he didn’t like to order, Wen Rang picked up the menu and quickly made their selections.

After ordering, he took a document out of his bag and handed it to Jiang Yisheng, "This is an endorsement invitation from Feng Group. Last time you canceled the endorsement at the last minute, and Mr. Feng said if you turn it down again, he might come at you with a knife to settle the score."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Yisheng’s lips. He took the document handed to him and flipped through it carelessly, "Is this endorsement just for me by myself?"

Thinking he didn’t enjoy doing shoots with others, Wen Rang didn’t give it much thought and replied directly, "Yep, just you alone."

Trustworthy as always, Jiang Yisheng barely glanced at Feng Yi’s endorsement contract before closing it.

"When does the shoot start?"

Does this mean he’s agreed?

To prevent him from changing his mind, Wen Rang said, "In a week."

Jiang Yisheng took a pen out of his own bag, lifted the corner of the contract, and smoothly signed his name.

"Where is the shoot taking place?"

"In J city."

Having signed the contract, Jiang Yisheng handed the document back to him.

"How are you coming along with the concert arrangements?" Wen Rang asked as he took the file and put it into his bag.

Playing with the pen between his fingers, Jiang Yisheng’s eyes glistened with a faint dark light, "Let’s proceed with the plan we discussed. It’s part of the schedule we had set earlier, so we should continue with it."

Keeping himself busy would presumably leave no time to think about anything else.

"Alright, when we get back we’ll have a video conference with the team to discuss the upcoming work schedule in detail," Wen Rang said.

Once the concert starts, things will get busy.

Jiang Yisheng hummed in acknowledgment and casually asked, "How long are you staying here?"

"I’ll go back to J city with you. We can do video meetings with the company these next few days, it’s not like I have anything to do if I go back sooner anyway," Wen Rang replied, "Besides, it’ll give you some company, just in case you’re recognized by fans and need help managing them."

Never underestimate fans’ observation skills; even if you wear a mask and sunglasses, they can still recognize you, especially when your popularity is as high as his.

The corner of Jiang Yisheng’s mouth lifted slightly; his manager was truly on top of things.

...

The Capital City.

For several days, the gloomy atmosphere in the Ye Family never dissipated.

Since Ye Miao was injured, Ye Yu had been taking care of him while also dealing with the company’s matters, nearly being driven to distraction.

During this period, Xiang Zhen’s side was also in chaos.

In the living room, Ye Xin paced back and forth, her face contorted with anger, ruining the delicate makeup on her face.

Suddenly, she stopped, threw her phone to the ground with force, and said, "Mom, I called him, but he won’t even answer my calls. What should I do?"

Li Jingjie must have another woman behind her back, had promised he’d marry her but then retracted his promise at the last minute.

Xiang Zhen glanced at the smashed phone screen on the floor and frowned, "Calm down. I’ve already had someone look into it. Don’t get so angry here. It’s not good for you."

The issue started yesterday when the Ye family patriarch visited the Li Family. He spoke to the Li family patriarch about the marriage between Li Jingjie and Ye Xin. Unexpectedly, he was rebuffed with the words that Li Jingjie was no longer a matter for the Li family, and they wouldn’t make decisions about his marriage.

After much thought, the Ye family patriarch had no choice but to have Xiang Zhen call Li Jingjie to discuss the certificate of marriage he and Ye Xin were to obtain, but Li Jingjie backed out at the last minute, saying he and Ye Xin were not compatible and couldn’t marry her.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Xin became so furious that she threw a fit on the spot. If Xiang Zhen had not stopped her, she would have flown to M country to settle accounts with Li Jingjie long ago.

"Ye Xin, you need to control your temper. Anyone else would find it hard to tolerate this kind of behavior."

"Am I not being calm enough? I lost his child for him, and now he tells me we’re not getting married, that we’re not a good match. What right does Li Jingjie have to play me like this?" Ye Xin grew more agitated as she spoke, her face turning red with anger.

Xiang Zhen also harbored resentment towards Li Jingjie in her heart for making a promise to marry but backing out at the last moment, disrupting anyone’s peace of mind.

She consoled, "Our top priority is for your brother to take control of Ye Group as soon as possible. Once Ye Group is under your brother’s power, Li Jingjie will definitely come crawling back to you."

Li Jingjie was a young man who valued benefits. He must have second-guessed the marriage because he feared Ye Lei wouldn’t gain the inheritance of Ye Group. As long as Ye Xin had the support of the Ye Group behind her, Li Jingjie would eventually swallow his pride and beg Ye Xin.

"But how long do I have to wait? My aunt is also eying the Ye Group greedily. Can my brother outmaneuver her?" Ye Xin looked impatient, unable to wait even a second longer.

"Even if you can’t wait, you have to. Without the support of Ye Group, Li Jingjie will certainly not come back to you. Without Ye Group, you will have nothing," Xiang Zhen stood up and admonished her with a sharp tone.

Chastened by her words, Ye Xin gradually calmed down though she still felt wronged deep inside, "Mom, do you think it’s Ye Jiuliang who’s screwing things up behind the scenes?"

"It’s not her doing. If you don’t provoke Ye Jiuliang, she won’t bother you. Have you still not seen through Li Jingjie?" Xiang Zhen saw clearly and unexpectedly spoke up for Ye Jiuliang. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"He’s a person who most values interest. He’s just worried your brother won’t secure the inheritance of the Ye Group. His company is at the startup phase right now, and he needs a supporter that can help him."

Hearing this, Ye Xin deflated and slumped onto the sofa, "Mom, why is there such a difference between me and Ye Jiuliang? She seems to have everything she wants, while I’ve ended up like this."

Xiang Zhen sighed lightly and walked over to her, holding her hand, "You are just too impulsive, doing things without looking ahead or behind. I told you before that this will cause you great loss."

Ye Xin bit her lip, "I just can’t accept this. Just because of what that high monk said, does she have to be better than me in every way?"

"Shhh," Xiang Zhen put her hand over Ye Xin’s mouth, signaling her to lower her voice.

Some things the two of them discussed in private were fine, but it would be troublesome if others overheard.

"Just wait a few more days. Ye Yu is currently so busy that he can’t even manage some of the company’s affairs. Just a few more days and I will definitely drive Ye Yu out of the company."
