How could Yu Shishu still believe it? He could sense Ye Zhiwei's attitude and also discern something from Yu Jingchen's actions, especially since Yu Jingchen had just deliberately said those things to match him and Ye Zhiwei, even though he knew Ye Zhiwei had a boyfriend.

He looked at Yu Jingchen in silence.

Yu Jingchen noticed that Yu Shishu was angry. He patted Yu Shishu's shoulder and laughed, "Do you really think your brother can harm her? There are many things you don't know. The boy next to Ye Zhiwei is not a simple and innocent person like you. Do you know his father? His father, Jiang Yanqiang, has done many things like murder and rape. Do you think someone with such a background can be clean? You should know that bad genes can be inherited. Don't you like Ye Zhiwei? Do you think our Shishu can let such a terrible person be in front of the person you like?"

Yu Shishu was slightly taken aback. He had indeed never heard of Jiang Jianian's family situation, but upon hearing Yu Jingchen's words, he couldn't help but retort, "But he can't do anything right now."

"You can't do anything now just because the time hasn't come yet. Do you think it will be too late when the time comes?" Yu Jingchen's smile faded, and he said expressionlessly, "We don't know how much family environment influences a person. If it weren't for those people, your personality wouldn't be like this."

The man's gentle demeanor vanished. He seemed to recall something; he had been carefully tending to Yu Shishu all along. After a long silence, he sighed heavily and said to Yu Shishu, "It's my fault for what I did wrong, so I will definitely help the person you like—"

“Brother.” Yu Shishu stared at Yu Jingchen, interrupting him, and said firmly, “I will fight for the person I like. I have tried, but she doesn’t like me. I don’t want to lose even my last bit of dignity in front of her. I don’t like you hurting her under the guise of doing what’s best for me. What you’re doing makes me very sad.”

He spoke very slowly, and it was the first time he had spoken such a long string of words to Yu Jingchen, but he pronounced each word very clearly.

Yu Jingchen looked at Yu Shishu. Although he agreed with a smile and nodded, he seemed not to have listened. He was obsessed at this moment. He only felt that Yu Shishu was too kind. He should not have brought Yu Shishu with him this time, but should have solved the troublesome matter of Ye Zhiwei having a boyfriend himself.

"Alright, Shi Shu, the party has started now. Let's go inside first. We can talk about anything else when we get home." Yu Jingchen subtly changed the subject, somewhat forcefully urging Yu Shi Shu to go ahead with the party.

He brought Yu Shishu into the party, smiled and asked if Yu Shishu was hungry, and considerately got him some food.

After Yu Jingchen left, he found a quiet corner and silently watched the lively party that seemed so out of place with him.

A waiter passed by with some food. Yu Shishu took some and put it on the table. He was indeed a little hungry and planned to eat something before Yu Jingchen brought over anything else.

He felt a little depressed and sat there silently. He dared not look for Ye Zhiwei anymore. He felt that Ye Zhiwei would definitely suspect that he had instructed these things, even though he did not know what Yu Jingchen had done.

Many of the dignitaries who came to the party were there to make connections with influential people from different fields, hoping to find a way to collaborate. Even when Yu Jingchen was helping Yu Shishu get food, he was surrounded by a group of people who praised him for his youth and talent, and he couldn't get away from them for a while.

Yu Shishu didn't wait for Yu Jingchen, but instead encountered a couple arguing.

They didn't notice Yu Shishu in the corner, assuming there was no one around. They started arguing as soon as they got there. The girl was probably a college student. She had come here on a friend's recommendation because she knew they were hiring pretty waitresses and that they could earn 100 yuan for two hours. She never expected to run into a rich man who had been pursuing her.

The man warned the girl in a low voice, "Don't you think you're embarrassing yourself here? If you need money, why don't you come to me? If you need money, you can tell me and I'll give you some. But you actually came here to work as a waitress—just how desperate for money are you!"

The girl was very beautiful. Although her family wasn't well-off, she had a high sense of self-respect. Upon hearing the man's words, she immediately sneered, "Sir, why would I need you if I were short of money? You're nobody to me! I'll say it again, I don't like you at all. If you wanted to find pretty girls, there are plenty of them. Why do you keep bothering me? Do you know that all those self-righteous things you do are a burden to me? I find them disgusting and annoying. Why do you keep pestering me, even under the guise of doing it for my own good? Good heavens, for my own good? Why should I accept your kindness? Even if you're good to me, I find it terrifying and suffocating. Can you really pursue someone and force your own desires on them without considering their wishes? Is this what you call 'love'? It's far too cheap!"

At first, Yu Shishu didn't understand these words. He even ate his food and tried to find a way to leave. But as the girl continued, Yu Shishu vaguely identified with Ye Zhiwei.

He was certain that Yu Jingchen must have done something to upset Ye Zhiwei, and these things might have become a nuisance, a burden, and a source of disgust and disgust for her, as well as a cheap emotional connection.

Yu Shishu's mood plummeted to its lowest point. He found it difficult to swallow anything. At that moment, a nut from the pastry accidentally blocked his trachea, causing him to breathe rapidly. He coughed violently, which startled the man and waitress beside him. The man immediately recognized him as Yu Jingchen's younger brother.

Yu Shishu's face turned ashen. The terrified man immediately cried out for help, and Yu Jingchen, who was surrounded by people, immediately pushed through the crowd and ran towards Yu Shishu.

"Call an ambulance, quick!" Yu Jingchen's face was ashen. He gripped Yu Shishu tightly. "Shishu, what's wrong? What happened? How could you suddenly be like this—"

From the crowd, Bai Zhi, whose family runs a pharmaceutical business, rushed over immediately. Her parents couldn't come from Y City due to other commitments, so she was representing her family at the banquet. Upon seeing Yu Shishu's condition, she immediately guessed: "He's choking on a foreign object. We definitely need to perform on-site resuscitation before taking him to the hospital, otherwise he might suffocate..."

Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, Yu Jingchen yelled, "Then hurry up!"

Bai Zhi froze, because although she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, she had never done any practical operation. She was neither capable nor daring to perform such a real-life rescue. Her hand trembled as soon as she touched Yu Shishu, and Yu Jingchen pushed her away directly.

Not only her, but everyone else present, even those with basic first aid knowledge, dared not help, fearing that they would not only fail to help but also make the situation worse.

Just as things were about to go wrong at the party, Bai Zhi seemed to remember something and immediately said, "Jiang Jianian, I think I saw Jiang Jianian at the party just now. Jiang Jianian must know these things, he can definitely save us... Go find Jiang Jianian for help!"

Bai Zhi anxiously searched for Jiang Jianian's figure at the party, just in time to see Ye Zhiwei pulling Jiang Jianian here. But unlike Ye Zhiwei's anxious and surprised expression, Jiang Jianian seemed completely unmoved. He stood indifferently next to Ye Zhiwei, looking at Yu Shishu, who was surrounded by the crowd and had an accident, without any expression, cold and ruthless.

"Jiang Jianian..." Bai Zhi's words caught in her throat. For some reason, she didn't dare to call Jiang Jianian over for help. The boy's expression filled her with fear.
