At this moment, Duan Meiyuan didn't care about Ye Zhiwei at all; she was almost constantly expressing her dissatisfaction with Qin Manshu.

Yu Jingchen's expression was also not good. After a moment of silence, he said, "Mom, I didn't know she would do such a thing."

"Didn't I tell you before that there were problems in their family? It's all women, not a single man. The entire Qin family is run by women, which is against the rules—"

Duan Meiyuan was extremely anxious at this moment. She was originally proud that after the two families were married, the Qin family was essentially part of the Yu family. Whenever someone asked about it, Duan Meiyuan could feel secretly pleased, but she would calmly answer, "Manshu is a girl after all, and it is naturally hard for her to manage a group. Jingchen marrying her will help her, and she will have a much easier time. It's a pity that my son will suffer. Before he fully understands the operation of the group, he may have to run back and forth between the two places many times."

Although Duan Meiyuan was not satisfied with Qin Manshu's family situation, she was still quite happy whenever she thought that the Qin family would soon be swallowed up by the Yu family. Who would have thought that Qin Manshu would cause such a mess? How could she go out with her girlfriends in the future? How could she have any face in front of others in the future?

Duan Meiyuan grew increasingly uncomfortable, her face turning grim. She even began to blame Ye Zhiwei, "That Ye Zhiwei isn't appreciative at all. She grew up without a mother to guide her, and I don't know how Ye Qingcheng raised her. Who knows if Ye Zhiwei did something distasteful that made Qin Manshu lose control—"

"Mom," Yu Jingchen called out to Duan Meiyuan, telling her not to continue.

Before marrying Yu's father, Duan Meiyuan was already spoiled. From a young age, she accepted the family's concept of arranged marriages for girls and men inheriting the family business. In her view, a girl's value was realized through her husband.

After marrying Yu's father, the elders in Yu's family also placed more emphasis on boys. Duan Meiyuan's mother-in-law was extremely picky about her. Now that Duan Meiyuan has finally become a mother-in-law herself, she will only become more demanding than before, and she will be very picky about any girl who may become her daughter-in-law.

She was used to this domineering attitude, and hearing Yu Jingchen resist made her even more uncomfortable. She said directly, "Yesterday you were also defending Qin Manshu. Look at what Qin Manshu did that made us a laughing stock. Now, are you defending Qin Manshu or Ye Zhiwei? You're all a handful. I'm asking you, did you tell your brother yesterday not to have any contact with any girls from the Ye family?!"

She was about to teach her son how to choose a wife when someone barged in before she could finish speaking.

Jiang Jianian walked quickly, and being a figure who had appeared on television before, he exuded a commanding aura and had a sinister gaze. The butler, unable to stop him and worried that he might be someone he couldn't afford to offend, simply followed closely behind. Only after Jiang Jianian entered did the butler hurriedly say to Duan Meiyuan, "Madam, this young master just barged in, and I couldn't stop him no matter what I did—"

It's not that we can't stop them, it's that we simply don't dare to stop them.

Duan Meiyuan recognized Jiang Jianian at a glance when she saw the boy barging in. She was already in a bad mood today, and seeing Jiang Jianian made her look even more disdainful.

She knew about Jiang Jianian's situation. He was brought by Ye Qingcheng's second wife, and his family situation was terrible. He also had a father who was a murderer. Even now, she still couldn't understand what Ye Qingcheng was thinking, that he would allow his wife to bring such a child.

She had initially been puzzled as to why Ye Zhiwei lacked manners, but now she understood—she had been corrupted by following this shady young man from who-knows-where.

Duan Meiyuan, her face grim, immediately questioned the housekeeper, "What young master? What kind of young master is he? You've worked for the Yu family for so long, don't you have any sense of propriety? If he wants to barge in, are you just going to let this thing barge in? Couldn't you just have the security guards drag him out?"

The butler stammered, "Madam, I...I'll call security right away—"

Before the butler could finish speaking, Jiang Jianian stepped forward, grabbed Yu Jingchen by the collar, and began to lecture him almost unilaterally.

The fists targeted the most painful spots, and within a few blows, blood gushed from the corner of Yu Jingchen's mouth.

Yu Jingchen was certainly not a delicate young master like Jiang Shichu. He could hold his own against others, but he was completely powerless against someone like Jiang Jianian.

"Don't you know to stay far away from Ye Zhiwei when you see her?" Jiang Jianian grabbed Yu Jingchen's collar tightly, his face was gloomy, his eyes were sinister and his aura was very strong. Even his words were cold.

Jiang Jianian, who usually appears extremely calm and patient in everything he does, was now unable to control his anger.

He's taking his anger out on others right now.

He originally just wanted to confirm whether these two people were related to this matter. After roughly guessing that Qin Manshu had not revealed any of his thoughts or actions to the Yu family, Jiang Jianian was simply taking his anger out on the Yu family, Yu Jingchen, and Duan Meiyuan.

Although Jiang Jianian didn't directly do anything to Duan Meiyuan, his direct and deadly attack on Yu Jingchen had terrified Duan Meiyuan, who kept shouting, "You madman, what are you going to do to our Jingchen? How dare you hit our Jingchen? Butler, call the police! Call the police immediately!"

"Call the police?" Jiang Jianian chuckled, looking at Duan Meiyuan with a gloomy expression, and said, "Ye Zhiwei had an argument with the two of you before she disappeared. I also have a recording of Madam Yu bullying a young girl because she is an elder. Would you like to listen to it again? Call the police? Sure, it's good that the police can investigate properly when they arrive."

Duan Meiyuan retorted sharply, "Nonsense! What does Ye Zhiwei's disappearance have to do with us? She has no manners or upbringing. Who knows how she offended Qin Manshu—"

Duan Meiyuan abruptly stopped herself from speaking, feeling a pang of sympathy from Jiang Jianian's gaze.

She understood that if the police were called, and the evidence fell into their hands, even if the Yu family wasn't taken away by the police, if others found out about this, they might not be able to guarantee what others would think of the Yu family. Their innocent family would be falsely accused of harboring evil.

Duan Meiyuan fell silent, furious but unable to speak, only able to glare angrily at Jiang Jianian without daring to utter a single word.

Yu Jingchen was in a sorry state. He was barely able to stand there, with bruises on his lips and even some blue marks on his face. But they were definitely in the wrong right now. If they really got involved in this matter, the Yu family might really get into a lot of trouble. Yu Jingchen understood the power of public opinion all too well.

He could only suppress his anger and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Miss Ye would have such an accident. My mother and she only had a verbal disagreement and had a conflict. We really didn't know about her disappearance. We also couldn't contact Qin Manshu after Miss Ye left the lounge yesterday."
