The Helans’ family business was not doing very well lately because they had lost the support of the Yues. Originally, Mr. Helan wanted to reestablish relations with the Yues during this charity dinner. However, he never anticipated that the matron of the Yue family had no intention of sparing him any dignity. He suddenly loathed his wife; she really was soone who stirred up drama from nothing.
He hoped that she was sincere when she said that she would give Mrs. Yue a surprise today.
If the Yue family was a lost cause, Mr. Helan hoped to network with so of the other wealthy and affluent people during the dinner. It would be useful for business in the future.
He imdiately felt that You Yi was a good start from the first glance. He could not wait to know who he really was.
“This is the second elder of the You family, from Hai City, You Yi,” Ye Jiangong said, wanting to prove his capabilities in front of Mr. Helan. “Mr. You.”
Mr. Helan blinked. “Mr. You, welco, welco... My na is Helan Mingde. It’s my pleasure to et you, Mr. You. This is my na card.”
Of course, he knew about the You family of Hai City. They are an extrely prominent family in Hai City. If he could establish relations with the Yous, then his business in the south would flourish.
However...
You Yi was not a businessman like the rest of them. He felt no obligation to entertain such small talk. He did not care, and he could not be moved even if soone licked his boots.
“You there, co with ,” he said towards Yue Tingfeng, frowning as if he did not see the na card Mr. Helan thrust towards him. “I’ve sothing to ask you.”
Yue Tingfeng clenched his teeth. He did not stoop to his kind. “Let’s go then, Mr. You,” he said.
He looked at Yan Qingsi, who escorted Mrs. Yue away to rest by the side.
Mr. Helan’s arms hung awkwardly in midair, na card between his fingers. You Yi did not even cast a side-glance; it was as if he was nothing but a street perforr.
Mr. Helan was also soone well-versed in the business world, and he was an expert at navigating social situations. He kept the na card and smiled. “Mr. Ye, this Mr. You...” he said. “He really has a temper!”
“Mr. You’s temper has always been like this,” Ye Jiangong said. “The You family are a sowhat uncivilized lot. Even when they’re talking to , they talk as if I am nothing, or they take jabs at , or they don’t talk at all! It’s good that you understand his temper now. For soone who is a You, it’s normal to have a short temper.”
“You’re right. It’s natural for a You to have so pride. From what I hear, you have quite an unusual relationship with the Yous. If you could, perhaps you could introduce to the You family, Mr. Ye. I’d be forever in your debt.”
Ye Jiangong waved his hand. “Oh, it’s nothing... My nephew is good friends with the young master of the You family. That’s why our families have a pretty amicable relationship between us. I’ll definitely help to introduce you to them when the opportunity arises, Mr. Helan.”
“I thank you in advance, Mr. Ye. Co, let’s sit over there.”
...
“Are you responsible for what happened to Ye Weiguang?” You Yi asked imdiately as the two ca to a quiet place.
Yue Tingfeng acted as if he did not know anything. “What are you talking about, Mr. You? I don’t understand.”
“Don’t play dumb with ,” You Yi said, tone low. “The accident that befell Ye Weiguang that very night—it’s too coincidental. Weren’t you a little too rash in acting? Ye Jiangong has already started to be suspicious. If he really starts to investigate, he would eventually find clues...and then...”
