Chapter 332: Yi Family Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The luxuriously decorated conference room was filled with people. Yi Long sat at the side with his wife, and at the master seat was a white-haired old man in a white Tang suit.
The old man sat in his seat and did not say a word, but everyone in the conference room did not even dare to breathe loudly. The atmosphere became more and more oppressive with the long silence. The temperature in the room that had fallen to the freezing point made people tremble uncontrollably.
Yi Long frowned and thought carefully for a while before slowly breaking the silence. “Uncle, although Yi Zheng is personally handling the main matters of the Yi family, he really has nothing to do with the huge commotion in the black market this time.”
As soon as he said this, the other members of the Yi family could not sit still anymore.
Yi Kun glared angrily and said with a fake smile, “Cousin, how dare you say that this matter has nothing to do with Yi Zheng? Don’t think that only they know what he and the little girl from the Shi family have done recently!”
Yi Long immediately retorted disapprovingly, “The conflict between the Yi family, the Jun family, and the Zhu family doesn’t only exist in Yi Zheng’s generation. I think everyone knows the history of our three families. Yi Zheng only did what he thought was beneficial to the Yi family, but the explosion has nothing to do with him!”
Yi Kun was choked by him, but he could not spit out a breath from his throat. He could not find any words to refute his words, so he could only look to his father for help.
The old man at the head of the table stroked his white beard with a serious expression. His voice was old and hoarse. “Yi Long, no matter what, on the surface, the person who will benefit from this matter is Yi Zheng. Don’t blame us for being nosy. It’s just that although the Yi family is involved in both the legal and illegal fields, they never implicate innocent people. Yi Zheng has to give us a reasonable explanation for this.”
Yi Long frowned tightly, and there was a hint of anger on her face. “Uncle, you’ve watched Yi Zheng grow up. Don’t you know him well? Yi Zheng is definitely not someone who can harm so many innocent lives for fame and status.”
“I know, I know.” The old man patted Yi Long’s hand on the table comfortingly, indicating for him to calm down first. He turned his gaze to Lu Xiang, who was sitting at the side. “Niece-in-law, I’ll have to trouble you to call Yi Zheng back.”
Lu Xiang looked at her husband uneasily, her eyes filled with grievance for her son.
Yi Long lowered his head and sighed helplessly. His voice sounded so tired that he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. “Call him. Tell him to come back.”
Lu Xiang agreed softly and pursed her lips as she took out her phone aggrievedly. However, before she could make a call, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned by the appearance of Yi Zheng and Shi Man.
Ever since he was young, Yi Zheng had been slightly obsessed with cleanliness and did not like to interact with others. His room had to be cleaned five or six times a day. No matter how busy he was, his clothes were always bright and beautiful.
Now that they looked at the man covered in dust at the door and even a layer of dust on his face, they immediately did not dare to recognize him.
Yi Kun widened his eyes in shock and pointed at him in disbelief. “Xiao Zheng, why are you here dressed like this? Don’t you know that you’re here to see your eldest grandfather? Why are you here dressed like this? What’s wrong with you?”
Before Yi Zheng could answer, Shi Man’s sinister gaze turned into a sharp sword and shot straight at him. She said sarcastically, “Of course, you’ll be clean if you keep sitting in the office and gossiping. Yi Zheng was busy in the ruins all night last night and didn’t even have time to change his clothes. He still has to come here to deal with you.”
“You! This is a meeting of the Yi family. It has nothing to do with you!” Yi Kun recognized Shi Man and slammed the table fiercely, wanting to chase her away.
Yi Zheng stood in front of her and said with a dark expression, “Uncle, Shi Man is my fiancee. Of course, she can attend this meeting. Moreover, the reason why you organized this meeting is related to the two of us, right?”
Yi Kun panted heavily. It was obvious that he was furious. He straightened his neck and glared, unwilling to give in.
The young man at the side tugged at his sleeve and advised with a kind smile, “Dad, don’t fuss about Sister-in-law. Grandpa is old and has been out for a long time. It’s better for us to get down to business.”
Yi Kun retracted his hand angrily and snorted coldly as he sat back in his seat. He turned his face away and said, “I want to see how he will settle this matter completely.”
Seeing that his father had relented, the young man smiled sweetly at Shi Man and said, “Future Sister-in-law, sit down with my brother. My father has agreed.”
Yi Zheng coldly shifted his gaze to his father. After getting his permission, he first brought Shi Man to bow to the old man in the lead, Yi Ming. His attitude was so respectful that no one could find fault with him. Only then did he find an empty seat and sit down.
Yi Ming stroked his beard. His cloudy eyes were unfathomable. “Since you’ve taken the initiative to come, explain the explosion..”
