Gu Yiming angrily told Jiang Zhaolin, "Jiang Hua has only been home for one day, and she went to the hospital with a head injury. If she had stayed any longer, she might have died." How could I possibly let her stay at home again?

Jiang Zhaolin felt awkward upon hearing this. Gu Yiming was right; Jiang Hua did indeed get injured at home, leaving him with no room for argument.

But he still felt quite wronged. It wasn't intentional; Jiang Hua's acceptance of the concession was unexpected and could be considered a surprise.

But Gu Yiming's words were clearly meant to insult him. No matter what he said, it would seem like he was shirking responsibility.

So Jiang Zhaolin winked at Jiang Hua, hoping she could help him and prevent Gu Yiming from misunderstanding him, which would be bad.

Jiang Hua received a meaningful look from Jiang Zhaolin. Seeing his pleading eyes, Jiang Hua felt a pang of emotion. Jiang Zhaolin had actually come to this. His usual demeanor was completely gone; it was quite comical.

She really wanted to see a good show, but she couldn't pretend she hadn't seen his expression, so after thinking about it, she decided to help him this time and let Jiang Zhaolin know how good she was, which would be beneficial for the future.

So Jiang Hua gave Jiang Zhaolin a reassuring look, then walked up to Gu Yiming and said, "Gu Yiming, don't say that. It's not their fault. I was just careless and bumped my head. I can't blame anyone but myself for being too stupid and falling down the stairs."

"Are you trying to put in a good word for them? You've only been back for a day and they haven't even taken good care of you. Why are you helping them?"

"I didn't help anyone. It was really my own carelessness that caused this. Don't blame my dad," Jiang Hua said firmly.

Gu Yiming understood what Jiang Hua meant when she said that, so he didn't say anything more and got up to sit down.

Jiang Zhaolin was deeply moved by Jiang Hua's help in speaking well of Gu Yiming. He thought to himself that his own daughter was indeed like him.

Jiang Hua's status in his heart rose another notch. He felt that Jiang Hua was truly kind, always helping him, and even though she had been wronged, she still chose to forgive them. He was deeply moved.

He then asked Jiang Hua, "So, you're not staying at home anymore, are you? Are you with Gu Yiming here? If you want to go home, you can come with me. I promise this dangerous thing won't happen again."

"Okay, then I'll stay here for now. I'll come back to see you when I'm better. Don't worry," Jiang Hua replied obediently.

Jiang Zhaolin knew that saying anything was useless; Gu Yiming had already said it, and there was no changing it. However, he still wanted to show some concern for Jiang Hua.

"In that case, I won't let you go home. You need to take good care of yourself. Especially your head; avoid strenuous exercise and let your head calm down for a few days. Otherwise, you might feel uncomfortable later."

Jiang Hua nodded after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You don't need to worry at all. And Gu Yiming will take care of me too."

"Then I'm relieved. It's getting late, so I'll head back now." Jiang Zhaolin glanced at his watch; he'd been out for quite a while, and it was time to go home.

Jiang Hua offered to see him off, but Jiang Zhaolin walked up to Gu Yiming and said very solicitously, "Gu Yiming, I'm going back now. Please take care of Jiang Hua."

Gu Yiming simply nodded without saying anything. Jiang Zhaolin, seeing Gu Yiming's indifferent expression, didn't say anything more, told Jiang Hua he was leaving.

Jiang Hua dropped him off at the parking lot before going back. Jiang Zhaolin also felt that she was very thoughtful, and his affection for Jiang Hua grew even stronger.

When Jiang Zhaolin returned home, Jiang Shiwan rushed out to greet him.

Jiang Zhaolin looked at Jiang Shiwan and asked, "What's wrong with you now? Just tell me what's wrong. I'm quite tired today."

In fact, Jiang Shiwan did want Jiang Zhaolin's help again. This time, she was out of funds for her acting project, and she wanted Jiang Zhaolin to lend her a hand.

But instead of saying it directly, she said it very tactfully: "Dad, I think the movie I'm filming now is pretty good, but I can't act in it yet." She looked very sad.

Jiang Zhaolin asked after he recovered, "Why can't you act? What happened?"

"It's not that I don't have enough money, Dad. Can you help me and invest some money in it as encouragement?"

Jiang Zhaolin naturally disagreed. He had invested in Jiang Shiwan before, but the money had always gone down the drain, with very few investments yielding any profit. They either lost money or made no profit at all.

Jiang Zhaolin has already learned his lesson, so he's not going to let himself suffer again this time.

So he refused: "Jiang Shiwan, you're asking me to invest in you again. You always bring your own funding to the production team. What's the point of that? And you don't even make any money. Can you please stop doing this?"

Jiang Shiwan was displeased upon hearing this. Although she hadn't made any money from her previous investments, she had still acted in many television dramas, and this was an opportunity for her.

Besides, the past is the past. Who can say for sure that we won't make money this time? She didn't want Jiang Zhaolin to contradict her, as it made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Dad, how can you say that? Although we failed the last few times, I'm very confident that we can succeed this time. I will work very hard." Jiang Shiwan really wanted Jiang Zhaolin's investment; she wanted the money this time.

This money is very important, so she needs to find a way to get Jiang Zhaolin to invest in it. Only then can she get the money to do her own thing.

So Jiang Shiwan desperately pleaded, "Dad, please help me this time, invest in me again. I'll do my best. I promise I won't let you down, really, please invest in me."

Jiang Zhaolin remained unmoved. This wasn't the first time this had happened; Jiang Shiwan had never brought him any profit, only losses. So this time, he was determined not to invest in Jiang Shiwan again.

So Jiang Zhaolin refused: "Stop talking. None of the films I invested in for you have succeeded, which shows you don't have the talent. Let's not waste our time, okay? I see you've had a lot going on lately. Why don't you just stay home and rest?"

Jiang Zhaolin directly rejected Jiang Shiwan's advances. His words were firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Shiwan originally wanted to hire an assassin to kill Jiang Hua, but Jiang Zhaolin was unwilling to invest, so her plan failed.
