"Duke Yu, you are mistaken!"

After listening to Yu Sheng's words, Jing Zhe suddenly put on a stern face, and the atmosphere in the room instantly turned cold.

Yu Sheng and Yu Zecheng were a little confused, thinking that they were just joking with him, and he wouldn't take it seriously or turn against them, would he?

Yu Xiangrong also sensed something was wrong. She clasped her hands together tightly and stared anxiously at Jing Zhe, her palms sweating.

Of all those present, only Yu Haixing was extremely happy.

Let's start arguing! Let's start arguing!

If you dare to utter a word, my uncle will beat you to death!

Don't be fooled by my uncle's usual jokes; when he gets into a fight, it's no laughing matter!

Thinking this, he couldn't help but grin, which aggravated his wound, causing him unbearable pain, and he cursed Jing Zhe even more.

Next, Jing Zhe continued seriously, "Duke Yu may say I'm shameless, but he can't deny himself! What I just said was the truth of what I was thinking. If Duke Yu doesn't agree and thinks I'm shameless and exaggerating, wouldn't that be denying himself?"

"..."

There was silence in the room at first, then a burst of laughter erupted.

Yu Sheng pointed at Jing Zhe: "You, you, your mouth—"

Before she could finish speaking, she gave him a thumbs-up to express her excitement.

Yu Zecheng and Yu Xiangrong both breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Zecheng was somewhat impressed by Jing Zhe's shamelessness, thinking that with that kind of audacity, there was no reason he wouldn't make a name for himself in the court! Yu Xiangrong, on the other hand, blushed slightly: so he wasn't just like that when talking to her…

Only Yu Haixing didn't see the scene he hoped for. He was sulking and cursing in his heart: "That son of a bitch, his skin is as thick as a city wall, he's really good at filming!"

After this incident, the rest of the dinner party became even more pleasant.

After finishing discussing the interview, Yu Sheng noticed that his daughter seemed a little different today.

She used to rarely come over for meals, instead having them delivered to her room or back garden. She would especially avoid coming over when guests came, as she was shy by nature.

But today, not only did she come, but her behavior while eating was also very different from before.

Before, she would always keep her head down—it seemed that she would only pick up the food in front of her when picking up food, but today was different. She not only looked up, but also glanced at Jing Zhe from time to time.

After reading it, he quickly lowered his head, his face flushed, but he looked very happy.

There's hope!

Yu Sheng thought to himself.

Despite being a rough and tough military man, he was a devoted lover. Otherwise, he would never have considered remarrying even after so many years since Yu Xiangrong's birth mother passed away.

Therefore, he was very concerned about his only daughter's marriage. He wouldn't even look at an ordinary man, but the appearance of Jing Zhe made his eyes light up.

She had always thought Jing Zhe was perfect in every way, and judging from the current situation, it seemed that he and her daughter were somewhat attracted to each other.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "President Jing—never mind, back when your father was an official in the court, although I didn't have much contact with him, we were still colleagues. Besides, given my age, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll just call you my nephew, is that alright?"

"Uncle, what are you saying? I've had this idea for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it, for fear that you would think I'm trying to climb the social ladder!"

"Haha, how could that be, my dear nephew!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

The two of them sang in unison, and Yu Haixing felt even more pain all over his body.

"Nephew, what did you and Xiangrong talk about just now? It lasted much longer than my interview!"

Yu Sheng seemed to be joking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangrong secretly glanced at Jing Zhe, then lowered her head.

"Uncle, just now I was talking to Xiangrong—"

"hehe!"

Before Jing Zhe could finish speaking, Yu Haixing sneered, "You're younger than me, and you dare call my cousin Xiangrong? You're just deliberately taking advantage of my sister!"

"Shut up!"

Before Jing Zhe could speak, Yu Sheng glared fiercely at Yu Haixing, blaming him for being nosy, since he just liked seeing the close relationship between Jing Zhe and Yu Xiangrong.

Jing Zhe smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle, don't be angry!"

Then he smiled and looked at Yu Haixing: "After all, he's a young man. He'll have his moments of folly. I won't hold it against him!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Haixing was so angry he almost vomited blood, but Yu Sheng, who was opposite him, was very happy: "Haixing, learn more from Jing Zhe!"

At this moment, Jing Zhe stood up and specially picked out some hard-to-chew items like chicken ribs and chicken necks and put them into Yu Haixing's bowl: "Haixing, stop talking and eat quickly! I specially put these for you, you must eat them, otherwise you're not giving me face!"

Although he was smiling, Jing Zhe deliberately glanced at Yu Haixing as he said this. Yu Haixing saw this and shivered, as if he had no choice but to eat...

Seeing Yu Haixing struggling to eat, Jing Zhe continued the conversation with Yu Sheng: "Uncle, I talked to Xiangrong about a lot of things just now, and I even asked Xiangrong for a favor!"

"Oh? Xiangrong can help you?"

"Yes, I plan to have Xiangrong write the content for our entertainment section from now on!"

"What?"

Yu Sheng found this hard to believe and asked again, "But I thought the monkey story in the first episode was really good. Are you planning to have Xiang Rong write it? Is that a good idea? Isn't that a bad idea?"

While I'd love to see my daughter's life become more colorful, writing about the entertainment section is a challenging task given the excellent examples already created.

If it's not written well, it might attract a lot of criticism, which would be a huge loss!

"Uncle is mistaken. It's not about writing a story about monkeys, but about writing a new story!"

So Jing Zhe gave Yu Sheng a general overview, adding that the story of the monkey would continue for a long time, so they had plenty of time and weren't in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng became very excited.

"It's good that you have time, it's good that you have time!"

This means that the two of them will spend more time together in the future!

It seems that I don't even need to propose; this matter will be settled naturally!

So they drank heartily together again.

When they had almost finished eating, Jing Zhe suggested to Yu Sheng, "Uncle, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it?"

"Speak freely!"

"My nephew wants to take Xiangrong out for a while, to see our newspaper office, or to see if there's anything new or interesting on the street!"

Since you've promised to do so, you have to keep your word.

"no!"

Before Sheng could even speak, Yu Haixing, who had just finished eating the chicken ribs and chicken necks that Jing Zhe had given him, immediately stopped him.

Why not?

Jing Zhe squinted and asked in a low voice.

"Because—my cousin definitely won't agree!"

Yu Haixing avoided Jing Zhe's gaze, "I just invited my cousin, but she wouldn't agree!"

"..."
