Ye Fei turned his head and glowered at Ji Yiran irritably.
My dear auntie, why on earth are you bringing this up?
If our secret gets out, won't Li Manshu, whom I've had such a hard time getting started with, run off?
"What did you say!"
Ma Xuming couldn't believe what Ji Yiran had just said.
After all, he wouldn't dare to speak to Ye Fei so arrogantly if he knew his mother had asked for Ye Fei's help.
Ye Fei's mind spun rapidly, and he immediately thought of a way to respond.
"Surprised, aren't you? Your mother, for the sake of your family's issue, asked Wei Wei's aunt for help to contact Xiao Shuhong and ended up coming to me."
"She probably doesn't know we're at odds, huh? She naively thinks that by offering me some benefits, I would help you."
"Dream on. I would help anyone but your family. If I had known she was your mom last time you sold the raw stones, I wouldn't have bothered."
"Guess she's crying now since the stones won't be coming back."
