Upon hearing this, Jiang Che felt a mix of emotions. He didn't know what to say, but suddenly he couldn't help feeling sorry for Ye Zhao.
He had heard about the Ye family's affairs before. Ye Zhao lost her mother at an early age and was at odds with her father, and they were always arguing. These things spread like wildfire after she got engaged to Shen Du.
He hadn't taken these things to heart when he first heard them, since it was from a complete stranger. But now, thinking back on Ye Zhao's situation and her obsession with Chen Du, he could understand her to some extent.
After all, growing up in such a family, she was love-starved and sensitive, prone to emotional outbursts. When someone happened to pull her out of the mire, how could she not fall into it?
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before slowly saying, "Don't worry, my feelings for Zhaozhao are genuine."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to hear that, President Jiang."
Jiang Che said gently, "You should take good care of yourself. Only when you recover will Zhao Zhao feel at ease."
Ye Feng's smile faded: "I'm a bastard. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father when I was young, and now that I'm old, Zhao Zhao has to worry about me."
Jiang Che's face remained expressionless. Upon hearing this, he simply said indifferently, "So you should take good care of yourself and stop causing her trouble. She's a girl, and she's already exhausted from all this...
Jiang Che didn't know if Ye Feng knew about Yuanbao. He was about to speak when he suddenly remembered this, so he stopped himself.
Ye Feng looked guilty upon hearing this: "President Jiang is right. Zhao Zhao saved my worthless life. I should cherish her and not let her worry about me."
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Zhao returned shortly afterward. She didn't ask anything, she just wanted to know about Ye Feng's condition. The doctor gave her a few instructions and then said nothing more.
When Jiang Che saw her return, he stood up and asked, "Shall we go have lunch? I'll have someone send lunch over to President Ye."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng raised his hand and said with a smile, "No need, President Jiang, you guys go and eat. The hospital lunch is quite good."
Ye Zhao and Jiang Che exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll bring it back for you later."
Ye Feng looked at her and smiled gently: "No need, you can go eat in peace. There are caregivers here."
Ye Zhao nodded without saying anything more. After giving him a few instructions, she called the caregiver and went out with Jiang Che.
Ye Feng watched the two figures walk away with a faint smile on his lips, but the next second, he seemed to think of something, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
Ye Zhao and Jiang Che left the hospital one after the other, and then went to the restaurant he had booked in advance.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family's living room, Lu Huixin and Tan Yuqiu were chatting and laughing, talking about daily life and gossip. Shen Jiayi sat to the side, absentmindedly glancing towards the door from time to time.
Seeing this, Lu Huixin glanced at her without showing any emotion, and said to Tan Yuqiu with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang, you are so kind, both of your children are so easy to take care of."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuqiu suddenly felt like she had swallowed a bitter pill, unable to express her grievances. She smiled and said, "What do you mean by worry-free? You make us worry every day. Daughters are so much better. Look at your Jiayi, she's grown up to be graceful and poised. Any family that marries her will be incredibly lucky."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayi blushed and before she could say anything, Lu Huixin said with a worried expression, "What's there to worry about? This girl has been giving me a lot of trouble lately."
Tan Yuqiu, with a keen eye, remarked, "What's wrong? Jiayi is such a well-behaved girl, why would she cause you any worry?"
Shen Jiayi looked at Tan Yuqiu with a troubled expression and called out, "Mom..."
Tan Yuqiu watched the mother and daughter quietly without saying a word.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huixin glanced at Shen Jiayi, then sighed at Tan Yuqiu, saying, "Children grow up and become independent. This girl has been very preoccupied lately. I've introduced her to several boys, but she hasn't been satisfied with any of them..."
Shen Jiayi looked embarrassed, but then called out "Mom" again, just as appropriate.
Tan Yuqiu smiled and said, "I thought it was no big deal. Young people these days have so many ideas, how could it be our place to make decisions? Don't worry, Jiayi is still so young..."
Lu Huixin said with a worried look, "She's almost thirty, what's so young about that? Aren't all those boys from wealthy families and handsome? She just couldn't find one she liked. I don't know why her standards are so high!"
Tan Yuqiu's eyes deepened slightly, but her smile remained unchanged as she said gently, "Having high standards isn't a bad thing. Our Jiayi is so beautiful; she should find someone even more outstanding to be worthy of her."
"Aunt Tan..." Shen Jiayi said shyly, "I want to find someone I like."
Tan Yuqiu said to Lu Huixin with a surprised look, "Oh! Look at this child, she's not just discerning, she's also quite thoughtful."
Lu Huixin sighed and continued, "So what if she has feelings for someone? She still hasn't found a boyfriend. If you ask me, Yuqiu, if you know anyone suitable, introduce them to her. Just do me a favor..."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuqiu looked thoughtful, and hesitated before speaking, "Beside me..."
Shen Jiayi looked at her, and the expectation in her eyes gradually rose, but it disappeared completely in the next second.
“Where would I find such an outstanding boy? No, no.” Tan Yuqiu quickly refused.
Lu Huixin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "If you ask me, if all else fails, we can become in-laws. We can keep the good stuff in the family."
She laughed as she spoke, and Shen Jiayi blushed. She pretended to be annoyed and called out "Mom," but didn't say anything to stop her.
Tan Yuqiu smiled and replied, "I would like to become in-laws with you, but my two sons are really not good enough for Jiayi, so forget it."
Shen Jiayi's face paled slightly, and she silently gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands.
Lu Huixin paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "What kind of talk is that? Everyone in City A knows that the Jiang family's children are all exceptionally good. Yuqiu, if you don't want to, you can just say so..."
Tan Yuqiu also smiled and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but Jiayi is a good person. I hope she doesn't fall into my son's hands. Besides, I can't make the decision between them. It's my husband who decides."
Lu Huixin's smile faltered slightly, then she said, "Look, I was just joking, but Yuqiu took it seriously. I would like to become relatives with your family, but it's a pity that these children didn't hit it off."
Tan Yuqiu chimed in, "That's right, the kids have such big ideas, how could we possibly worry about them?"
Shen Jiayi's smile froze on her face, and her complexion continued to turn pale.
Lu Huixin looked at her and continued, "Isn't that right? Neither of your children have boyfriends? Aren't you worried?"
