Chapter 881: Chapter 884: Another Trouble Arises in the Wu Family

”Jing Yi, Lin Lin, Yu Wan, you are all good girls, and it’s not fair to you to follow Chen’er like this!” After dinner, Shen Xiaoqin said with a light laugh as she looked at the three women.

”Auntie, don’t say that, being with Jiang Chen, we really feel very fortunate,” Ye Jingyi said with a smile.

Shen Xiaoqin nodded and, changing the topic with a meaningful look in her eyes, said, ”It’s good that you don’t feel wronged, but you see, the Jiang Family doesn’t have many people now. Shouldn’t you add some vitality to it?”

”Auntie, leave that to me, I’ll recruit some people this afternoon,” Yè Yùwǎn said, patting her chest.

Pfft!

Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin both laughed out loud.

”Recruit some people?” Shen Xiaoqin asked, puzzled, looking at Yè Yùwǎn. ”Recruit who?”

”Didn’t you say we need to add vitality? Isn’t that about recruiting people?” Yè Yùwǎn said earnestly.

Shen Xiaoqin paused for a moment, then said with amusement, ”Right, right, recruiting people, but not from outside.”

”Not from outside? Then where should we recruit from?” Yè Yùwǎn asked, puzzled.

Shen Xiaoqin glanced at Yè Yùwǎn’s stomach with a deep meaning and said, ”Recruit from right there!”

”From...” Yè Yùwǎn looked down at her own stomach and suddenly realized, her cheeks immediately flushing red as she kept her head down and did not wish to look up again.

I’m so embarrassed, to think I so confidently took on the task.

How do I take this on?

”Haha!”

”Hehe!”

Ye Jingyi and the other woman could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Jiang Minglong, who had been silent up till now, also wore a face full of smiles.

”Yu Wan, you said you’d take this on yourself, so I’m counting on you to give me a grandson!” Shen Xiaoqin said with a chuckle.

”No... no, I...”

Yè Yùwǎn’s face turned anxious, and she hastily tried to explain, but she didn’t know how to do it.

Do I not want to have a baby with Jiang Chen?

Of course, I do, but to openly say so, wouldn’t that be unreserved?

But if I don’t say it, wouldn’t that be...

Ding-a-ling!

Just as Yè Yùwǎn was feeling awkward, a ringtone rang. Yè Yùwǎn quickly said, ”I... I’ve got a call to take.”

In a flurry, she took out her phone. Without looking at the screen, she answered the call and started walking towards the dining room entrance, saying, ”Hello, who is it?”

”Miss Ye, it’s me, Wu Liancheng!” The voice from the receiver stopped Yè Yùwǎn at the dining room door.

”Mr. Wu, I’ve told you many times, I already have someone I like, and that’s the head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen. Even if it’s to be his minor, I’m willing. Please stop calling me!” Yè Yùwǎn said sternly before hanging up the phone.

”Is it that Wu Liancheng again?” Ye Jingyi frowned.

Turning around, Yè Yùwǎn gave a slight nod.

”What’s going on?” Shen Xiaoqin’s expression darkened as she asked.

Someone’s trying to poach my own son’s corner? This cannot be tolerated!

Ye Yuwan’s complexion changed slightly as she hurried back to her seat and took Shen Xiaoqin’s hand, whispering, ”It’s nothing, Auntie, just a fly, don’t mind him!”

”Wu Liancheng? Is it that brat from the Wu Family?” Jiang Minglong spoke with a heavy voice.

With a pained expression, Ye Yuwan turned and sought help from the two Ye Jingyi ladies, worrying if Jiang Minglong and his wife would overthink this since someone was pursuing her.

”Uncle, do you know if the Wu Family has any new backers recently?” Gong Lin asked softly.

Jiang Minglong glanced at Gong Lin, then back at Ye Yuwan, and frowned, ”You told him you’re Chen’er’s woman, and he’s still pestering you?”

”Yes!” Unable to keep evading, Ye Yuwan could only nod helplessly.

”This is not a simple matter!” Jiang Minglong’s eyes narrowed slightly, ”Knowing that you’re Chen’er’s woman, if it were just plain liking, the Wu Family, even if they had someone backing them, wouldn’t offend our Jiang Family so recklessly.”

”Uncle, are you suggesting... their target isn’t actually Yu Wan, but rather Jiang Chen?” Ye Jingyi frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

Jiang Minglong nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, then said gravely, ”Tell me everything about the whole incident.”

”Alright!” Ye Yuwan also realized that since the Jiang Family was now a top family in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, if it were just plain liking, the Wu Family definitely wouldn’t offend the Jiang Family so boldly. There must be a conspiracy behind this!

”...That’s what happened!” Ye Yuwan recounted everything from her chance meeting with Wu Liancheng all the way to the recent events.

”Using the north and south mines as a threat? The Wu Family doesn’t have that much power! Moreover, if it were just about pursuing Yu Wan, why target international interests instead of domestic ones? This is probably because the real enemies wanting to deal with Chen’er have international influence but not much domestic power!”

After analyzing, Jiang Minglong’s eyes shifted as he asked softly, ”Do you know when Chen’er is coming back?”

”He’s returning this afternoon.” Ye Jingyi said quietly.

”Call him, tell him about this situation, and see if he has any clues on his side,” Jiang Minglong instructed.

Ye Jingyi nodded, took out her phone, and dialed Jiang Chen’s number.

Jincheng, West Suburb, Jiang Chen and the others were heading towards Jincheng.

Dinglingling!

The phone rang, and Jiang Chen took it out and answered with a light chuckle; ”Hello, Jing Yi, I’ll be home in about an hour!”

”Jiang Chen, there’s something I need to tell you, Yu Wan recently...” Ye Jingyi’s somber voice came through the earpiece.

The smile on Jiang Chen’s face slowly faded, becoming more and more somber.

After listening to Ye Jingyi’s story, Jiang Chen spoke in a cold voice, ”I understand, I’ll ask around, don’t worry about it, I’ll handle this matter!”

After hanging up, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then dialed Xuan Long’s number.

”Hello, Young Master!” The phone was quickly answered, and Xuan Long’s respectful voice came through.

”Xuan Long, how have the brothers been doing recently?” Jiang Chen asked softly.

”The brothers have all improved greatly, and the Long Ya fellows as well. Now, our Dragon Flame Mercenary Corps has firmly established itself as the world’s third-ranked Mercenary Corps!” Xuan Long’s voice held a trace of excitement.

”That’s good.” Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then changed the subject, ”Is it the brothers from Long Yan who are in charge of guarding the large diamond mine that Jiuzhou Group wants to develop in Diamond Country?”

”The diamond mine? No, our brothers have been working hard in combat training recently. Just a while ago, we discovered a base of the Fallen Angels, and we’re currently attacking that base. Miss Sun Yue knew about this and did not let us go there,” Xuan Long explained.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, ”You haven’t let Sun Yue know that you guys work for me, have you?”

”No, we have always maintained a cooperative relationship with her!”

”That’s good!” Jiang Chen nodded and then asked softly, ”Has there been any contact with Dark Night Angel lately?”
