Yu Jingchen gave Ye Zhiwei time and then clearly stopped making any moves, seemingly showing genuine sincerity. Almost as soon as Ye Zhiwei finished talking to Yu Jingchen, he completely hid the previously circulated information, leaving no trace.

Ye Zhiwei even received a message from her little fangirl that all her previous posts had been deleted. She asked Ye Zhiwei if the media outlet had spread rumors and received a lawyer's letter. Now, some classmates are saying that it's probably just a rumor and not true. Even if a big shot like Ye Qingcheng is seriously ill, such news should be kept very secret. How could it be spread by some unofficial media?

Ye Zhiwei didn't directly answer the little fan's question. Instead, she felt that Yu Jingchen's actions were like a demonstration: if he wanted, these messages could be ignored.

The Yu family had previously invested in many media companies, including Yu Shishu, who also dealt with people in the entertainment industry. Many media people did not want to offend Yu Shishu, this talented director, so Yu Jingchen was also very polite to them.

Many of the media outlets that Ji Shuli was able to remove were from his own Huayu Times. Other media outlets were removed after he did them a favor. This action was actually a bit like protesting too much, since Yu Jingchen was currently using some media people with low traffic to spread this news, so the influence wasn't significant. The news that it had previously trended on social media was quickly pulled down. If Ji Shuli paid too much attention to this matter, it would be tantamount to admitting that Ye Qingcheng was really in trouble.

This won't work, that won't work.

Ye Zhiwei returned home feeling depressed and preoccupied. Although she could still put on a show in front of Ye Qingcheng, she felt particularly angry whenever she thought of Yu Jingchen's smug expression whenever Ye Qingcheng rested. Especially since he had done such a despicable thing and not only could she do nothing about it, but he could also threaten her repeatedly and act very arrogantly.

What can possibly subdue Yu Jingchen?

Is it a book I have left?

Ye Zhiwei had an idea: why not contact Yu Shishu, tell him about this, and ask him to take care of her brother?

Once she had the idea, Ye Zhiwei couldn't sit still. She was distracted even when she was with Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng smiled and asked her, "What's wrong with you? Is it because Xiao Jiang hasn't finished his exams yet and you're anxious, or are you up to something again behind my back? You promised to spend time with me during the holidays, but now you can't sit still."

Ye Zhiwei sat down awkwardly and said with a dry laugh, "I just have a little thing to ask my cousin."

"Oh? What is it?" Ye Qingcheng asked with a curious smile, "Is it Zhiwei's little secret that she doesn't want to tell Dad?"

Ye Qingcheng cut off everything Ye Zhiwei was about to say, so Ye Zhiwei could only laugh awkwardly and sit there obediently, thinking to herself whether she should send a message to Ji Shuli and talk to him online? But she always felt that she could only make things clear if she talked to him face to face.

Ye Qingcheng waved to her and said, "Alright, alright, just go ahead and do what you need to do. You always have so many little secrets."

Ye Qingcheng waved his hand, and Ye Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, she reminded the caregiver who was taking care of Ye Qingcheng to remind him to rest on time. After reminding the caregiver, she repeatedly assured Ye Qingcheng that she would come back as soon as she finished dealing with her business before running off to find Ji Shuli.

Seeing Ye Zhiwei running so fast, Ye Qingcheng shook his head with a smile.

Even if Ye Zhiwei intended to conceal it, how could Ye Qingcheng not know that Yu Jingchen had exposed his medical records? One or two friends had already told Ye Qingcheng that their children had accidentally come across rumors about Ye Qingcheng. Since these were all rumors spread by small media outlets, an old friend who had worked with him for many years even jokingly asked Ye Qingcheng if he should send a lawyer's letter to warn these small media outlets that even dared to joke about him.

He did a good job of keeping it a secret, so even his old friends didn't quite believe the truth of the matter. They even sent Ye Qingcheng publicly available medical records, telling him that the records were photoshopped to look very convincing, and criticized the media that spread rumors and didn't seek the truth.

After being told this by his old friend, Ye Qingcheng didn't fully understand the ins and outs, but he could roughly guess what was going on. After learning about it, he had an idea in his mind. Seeing Ye Zhiwei busy and worried, he continued to pretend not to know and not to expose her. As Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli came up with a solution, he also wanted to see what kind of crazy idea his daughter could come up with.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Zhiwei immediately sought out Ji Shuli to discuss the feasibility of asking Yu Shishu for help in organizing Yu Jingchen's case.

Ji Shuli didn't know Yu Shishu very well. After putting himself in Yu Jingchen's shoes for a moment, he offered his opinion: "Little cousin, Yu... Jingchen has already gone this far without considering his brother's feelings. He's just stubbornly doing what he thinks is right. I even suspect that your private contact with Yu Shishu might provoke Yu Jingchen. Even if Yu Shishu can stop Yu Jingchen, are you sure he can help you? His brother wants to help him pursue you. If he really likes you as much as Yu Jingchen says, he might actually be swayed by his brother..."

"But I think Yu Shishu is quite simple-minded. Didn't you see him last time, cousin? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would force someone to do something against their will. Besides, he was very easy to talk to when I refused him last time, so I wanted to ask him for help."

“Little cousin, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. I also thought that Brother Yu was not that kind of person.” Ji Shuli had lost trust in Yu Jingchen, and it was even less likely that she would trust Yu Shishu, whom she had little contact with.

Ye Zhiwei was persuaded by Ji Shuli and sat there silently without saying anything more.

Ji Shuli, however, became gossipy. He leaned closer to Ye Zhiwei and asked, "But little cousin, there's something I'm really curious about. Did Yu Shishu really confess to you? He doesn't seem like the type to take the initiative. I've heard Yu Jingchen mention his younger brother before, and he always says that his brother doesn't like to interact with others and is usually alone. Yu Jingchen always praises his brother, but he remains neutral on this matter. If Yu Jingchen can say that his brother doesn't like to interact with others, then Yu Shishu's situation must be even worse than Yu Jingchen described. You actually managed to get someone like Yu Shishu to confess to you. No wonder Yu Jingchen is trying so hard to coax you into being with his brother... It's just that this approach is really unpleasant."

Ye Zhiwei: ...

In fact, Ye Zhiwei was also confused about Yu Shishu's situation. She and Yu Shishu had only met a few times, and every time they met, Yu Shishu would invite her to act in a movie. She had no interest in the entertainment industry, so she would directly refuse Yu Shishu every time. She never expected that she would attract Yu Shishu and cause such a mess with Yu Jingchen.

She didn't actually dislike Yu Shishu. Yu Shishu was shy and knew his limits. Apart from asking her several times if she could act in his movies, he didn't do anything to bother her. Even after he finally mustered all his courage to confess to Ye Zhiwei and was rejected, he just processed the matter on his own without making a fuss. Ye Zhiwei couldn't bring herself to dislike Yu Shishu. However, Yu Jingchen's series of actions made Ye Zhiwei's attitude towards Yu Shishu complicated, even though she felt that Yu Shishu should be unaware of these things.

Ye Zhiwei sighed, once again falling into a state of helplessness and anxiety. Just then, she received a call from Jiang Jianian. Jiang Jianian had actually come all the way from Y City and had already gotten off the highway to ask Ye Zhiwei where she was.

After sending Jiang Jianian her location as requested, Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but ask, both surprised and delighted, while tightly gripping her phone, "Jiang Jianian, why are you here? Didn't you just finish your exams tomorrow?"
