Yu Jingchen was not affected by Ye Zhiwei's words. He did not answer Ye Zhiwei's question, but instead smiled and asked in return, "Our Shi Shu really likes you. Do you know how much your rejection will hurt him?"
Before Ye Zhiwei could answer, he continued, "The assistant director of Shi Shu's crew told me that Shi Shu is more willing to join the gatherings because of you. Every time I mention you to him, although he's shy, he talks more than usual. He feels much better when you're around. If you two get together in the future, our two families will become one, and there will be many business benefits—"
This person really doesn't care what others want to say; they just say everything on their own.
Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath and frowned at Yu Jingchen, saying, "How can you be so sure that I can cure Yu Shishu? Let alone that I can't agree to your request, even if I did one day, Yu Shishu is not some cute little angel in my eyes. He will only become an obstacle that prevents me from being with the person I like. Do you think I can talk to him properly? I didn't dislike Yu Shishu before. Although I thought he was very strict on set, he was a good person in private. All of this was based on the fact that I was not hurt by him. If I was hurt because of him, it would be hard for me not to take it out on your brother."
“You’ll change your mind after you spend some time with him,” Yu Jingchen said, unmoved.
Ji Shuli was also somewhat surprised, because he did not expect Yu Jingchen to be so unreasonable when it came to Yu Shishu, demanding that everything be done according to his wishes.
Ji Shuli, who had been silent all along, saw that his little cousin was quite angry and narrowed his eyes and said, "I thought that Brother Yu had been in business for so many years and had been my friend for so many years, so he would consider things carefully before doing anything. But you have really not considered our past relationship at all when you go to this extent."
Yu Jingchen sneered, his emotions unusually fluctuating. He had previously had reservations about Ji Shuli, but now he said coldly, "Is it me who doesn't consider your feelings, or you who does? Shuli, if you could even consider our past relationship, you should be helping me instead of helping the son of a murderer who has only been in your family for a year. Is our powerful alliance less valuable than someone whose blood is clearly tainted with evil? You say I disappointed you, but you are the one who truly disappointed me, Shuli."
The talks between the two sides had reached this point, and neither side could back down an inch. Yu Jingchen even took this opportunity to severely belittle Jiang Jianian, and this belittling was almost malicious.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't understand how Yu Jingchen could define Jiang Jianian based solely on her biological father without knowing anything about her. She found it laughable, and at this point, she truly felt there was nothing left to discuss with Yu Jingchen.
Silence remained standing between them.
Ye Zhiwei looked at Yu Jingchen and finally sneered, "Aren't you afraid of breaking the law by doing this? If it's found out, you're suspected of infringing on trade secrets. You obtained this information through theft and illegally disclosed it, causing such great damage to the Ye Group. Do you really think you can completely escape legal punishment?"
Ye Zhiwei intended to intimidate Yu Jingchen with this, because whether Yu Jingchen was actually involved in this crime was debatable, and even if he was, there was not enough evidence to point to Yu Jingchen, so he could still get away with it.
Yu Jingchen, however, was not threatened at all. He had already consulted a lawyer before doing this. He said with a smile, "Whether your father's illness counts as a trade secret is already a difficult point. After all, your father has a serious illness and has to leave the Ye Group. I think every shareholder who bought shares in the Ye Group has the right to know, right? So many people bought shares based on their trust in your father. Now that the person in charge of the company has changed, does your father still want to take this hard-earned money from the shareholders by deceiving the public? Now that your father has left the company, shouldn't there be a new person in charge? That person wouldn't be... Jiang Jianian, would it?"
When he mentioned Jiang Jianian, his tone was clearly disdainful. Ye Zhiwei gritted her teeth and glared at Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen continued, "Even if you simply sue me for violating Uncle Ye's privacy rights, do you have any evidence? Can you find out that I'm the mastermind behind this? Can you find out about the company and demand a reasonable explanation from the company that spread this message? The company will only give a statement that someone sent it anonymously—"
After confirming that Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli could not record the conversation, he spoke candidly without any hesitation, but Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli were helpless against him.
Yu Jingchen gave Ye Zhiwei a deep look and smiled, "Ye Zhiwei, I'm not in a hurry. I'll give you a few days to think it over. I know you've been deceived by sweet talk. Go back and think it over carefully before giving me your answer."
After finishing his sentence, Yu Jingchen cheerfully pushed the menu toward Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli, saying, "Since you're here, you're guests. We can't just not treat you to a meal. See if there's anything you'd like to eat. I remember Miss Ye seems to really like the desserts from one of our Yu Group's dessert hotels. I'll have someone send over a few more desserts later..."
What dessert hotel? What dessert? Ye Zhiwei now wanted to throw away her membership card. She never wanted to have anything to do with any project under the Yu family's name.
Ye Zhiwei gave a cold laugh, "No need. My boyfriend will cook whatever I want to eat. My palate has become too picky. I can't get used to what the Yu family makes."
She got up to leave.
Yu Jingchen didn't stop them, but before Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli took their phones and were about to leave, he called Ye Zhiwei back and said meaningfully, "Miss Ye, the Ye Group is your father's life's work. I think you wouldn't want the Ye Group to be affected by this avoidable turmoil, would you? Think about it carefully when you get back. I think you will make the right choice, right?"
Ye Zhiwei left quickly. She didn't want to share a room with this madman any longer. He was doing things that no one could respect, just to play matchmaker. With such character, he still called himself a member of a prestigious family.
Seeing that Ye Zhiwei's expression had been rather unpleasant and that she hadn't dared to speak the whole way, Ji Shuli finally couldn't help but ask, "Little cousin, what are your plans now? You probably won't agree to Yu Jingchen's proposal, will you?"
"How could I possibly agree!" Ye Zhiwei was furious at the mere mention of Yu Jingchen.
Ji Shuli breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while said, "It's good that you won't agree."
In Ji Shuli's view, Yu Jingchen has become obsessed. In Ji Shuli's view, if Yu Jingchen can interfere in Yu Shishu's emotional life like this, he will probably interfere in Yu Shishu's marriage, family and so on in the future. Ji Shuli can't say whether it is a blessing or a curse for Yu Shishu to have such a brother.
"So what do we do now?"
Ye Zhiwei said sullenly, "Let's talk to Jiang Jianian after he finishes his exams. Maybe he'll have a solution."
Seeing this, Ji Shuli sighed and said, "If Xiao Jiang can't do anything about it either, then we can only tell Uncle about this."
