Yu Shishu finally managed to stop thinking about Ye Zhiwei so much; he didn't want to make Ye Zhiwei unhappy because of what he had done.
Yu Jingchen did not tell Yu Shishu his plan. He sensed Yu Shishu's sadness and, thinking that Jiang Jianian would also be present, he planned to meet Jiang Jianian properly. He also wanted to see what this boy Ye Zhiwei had chosen could do to compare with his younger brother.
“She recently had a bit of a family accident,” Yu Jingchen suddenly said.
As expected, as soon as Yu Jingchen finished speaking, Yu Shishu looked at Yu Jingchen, stopped what he was doing, and asked with some surprise, "What accident?"
Yu Jingchen said with a smile, "I can't tell you the specifics, but she did encounter an accident. She attended the party because she wanted to seize this opportunity. Don't you want to see what kind of help she needs and help her out?"
"She probably went to the party for investment purposes." The implication is clear.
Ye Zhiwei went to the party to secure investment, and Yu Shishu went to the party to help Yu Jingchen. If Yu Jingchen actually got the investment, Ye Zhiwei would only dislike him even more.
He couldn't help her at all, and she didn't need his help.
Yu Jingchen gave Yu Shishu a deep look and smiled, "Shishu, the Ye family is facing some difficulties right now. Your Uncle Ye's company has been temporarily taken over by Jiang Jianian. Oh right, you should remember that Jiang Jianian, right? Do you think the old man from the Peng family would be interested in a first-year medical student? If Ye Qingcheng had personally come and continued to manage the company, it would have been fine, but now Ye Qingcheng has actually given the company's operating rights to Jiang Jianian. Regardless of whether he has the ability or not, the old man would not invest in a risky and unstable company. But if I get the investment funds, it will be different..."
Yu Jingchen patted Yu Shishu's hair and continued kindly, "You like that Miss Ye, right? If I get this investment, I will definitely help her."
"Will you help her?"
Yu Jingchen laughed and said, "After all, she was the first girl Shi Shu liked when he was young. Even if I refused to help, Shi Shu would beg me to help, right?"
Yu Shishu remained silent, seemingly considering what Yu Jingchen had said.
"Besides, this is the first time my brother has asked our Shishu for help. Are you going to refuse even the first time my brother asks you for a favor?" Yu Jingchen continued with a smile.
Yu Shishu remained silent for a long time. He rarely attended parties, disliked communicating with others, and especially disliked this kind of social interaction. He preferred to stay in his room alone, and he was content even if he didn't talk to anyone for several days. However, Yu Jingchen didn't seem to like Yu Shishu's somewhat socially awkward solitude.
Yu Shishu wanted to refuse Yu Jingchen, but Ye Zhiwei was also going to the party. He actually wanted to know what had happened to Ye Zhiwei and why Yu Jingchen had said that there had been an accident in Ye Zhiwei's family. However, Yu Jingchen seemed to want to keep him in suspense. If Yu Shishu pressed him for details, Yu Jingchen would realize that he cared about this matter and would try to amuse him in various ways. In the end, he would not tell him the truth and would only continue to keep him in suspense.
Yu Shishu remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "Will you really help Ye Zhiwei?"
“Of course, how could I possibly know our childhood books?” Yu Jingchen replied with a smile.
Of course, the help he was talking about might be different from what Yu Shishu thought of. He was pressing Ye Zhiwei step by step because he wanted her to understand who was the most suitable person for her.
Yu Shishu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding in agreement with Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen was quite pleased with the answer he received, but he still had to watch his younger brother pretend to sigh and say, "Our Xiaoshu has changed since we grew up. I reckon that Ye Zhiwei is almost more important to our Xiaoshu than his older brother."
This is a classic case of someone who benefits but then complains.
Yu Shishu: ...
Yu Shishu didn't want to pay attention to Yu Jingchen and continued to focus on his own things. Yu Jingchen didn't bother Yu Shishu any further either, and just sat in the lounge waiting to have lunch with his younger brother.
Peng Yuezeng's private cocktail party was held as scheduled.
This party attracted many unexpected people. The second young master of the Yu family, who rarely participates in any public activities, will be attending, as will Ye Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and her cousin, who will be attending in place of Ye Qingcheng.
Due to Mr. Peng Yuezeng's status and influence, although this was a private party, all the guests were either rich or noble. In addition to legendary figures from various industries in business and politics, some young second-generation elites also attended the event.
Mr. Peng enjoys wine, and the banquets he hosts are mainly wine parties, reflecting his personal preferences. The hotels that host these parties only prepare wine according to Mr. Peng's requirements, along with a meal to accompany the wine: steak, lamb chops, pigeon, foie gras, cheese, ham, and so on.
Not only were there formal meals, but also a variety of pastries on the tables, and waiters in beautiful formal attire moved among the guests.
Ye Zhiwei, Jiang Jianian, and Ji Shuli also took the elevator to the party.
Ye Zhiwei wore a fitted evening gown. She rarely wore makeup, but today, because of the special occasion, she put on exquisite makeup. She was naturally suited to glamorous makeup, and her red dress made her very attractive from the moment she appeared.
Not only is Ye Zhiwei attractive, but Jiang Jianian, who is with Ye Zhiwei, also makes people look at her frequently.
Ji Shuli has attended quite a few banquets, and many people have already recognized him. A small number of people know that Ye Zhiwei attended Peng Yuezeng's private party, and most of them speculate that Ye Zhiwei might be Ji Shuli's female companion.
The young heiress felt curious and kept glancing at Ye Zhiwei. She almost tripped while walking and only apologized profusely after realizing she had bumped into someone. When she looked up, she noticed that the person she had bumped into was Yu Jingchen.
These people usually have private gatherings and have a pretty good relationship.
Yu Jingchen, in particular, is handsome and mature, and looks very steady. He is very attractive to young girls in the industry. He is elegant and gentlemanly in every gesture. He gently helped the girl up and reminded her to be careful when walking. After the girl stood up, he asked with a half-smile, "What are you looking at so intently? Are you choosing your sweetheart? You are not young anymore. Uncle Yang should be worried about your love life."
The girl blushed, lowered her head, and quickly said, "Brother Jingchen, don't talk nonsense! I saw Ji Shuli bring a very beautiful female companion, and while I was guessing whether she was Ji Shuli's girlfriend, I couldn't help but stare at her. I wasn't looking where I was going and that's why I bumped into you."
Yu Jingchen looked in the direction the girl pointed and immediately saw Ye Zhiwei, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. He nudged Yu Shishu behind him with his elbow, who had been keeping his head down and had been silent and out of place since he came in, and reminded him with a smile, "Shishu, aren't you going to go and say hello to her?"
