Yu Shishu remained silent, sitting there quietly. Duan Meiyuan was not entirely satisfied with her youngest son's inaction, but he had been unwell recently and was rather well-behaved, so Duan Meiyuan usually doted on him more. She could only glance at Yu Jingchen, who understood Duan Meiyuan's meaning best and said helplessly, "Mom, we know what we're doing."
"Have any sense of propriety? Do you think you boys don't know what's going on in your minds? When your dad was young, he was easily infatuated with girls. I've seen plenty of girls who relied on their looks and charm. It wasn't uncommon for your dad to almost succumb to temptation. When those young girls stand in front of you and smile at you, can you pretend you don't see them?" Duan Meiyuan said to Yu Jingchen, "Have you been involved in any scandalous affairs?"
Yu Jingchen was even more helpless, "They're all just baseless rumors."
"That's just hearsay." Duan Meiyuan shook her head. "I've heard that there are one or two people in your secretariat who weren't qualified enough or had the required education to be specially recruited. Also, you did invest in your brother's TV series without interfering too much, but I know what else you've invested in besides Shi Shu's TV series, and that you asked the production team to bring a few newcomers. Although you're smart and capable, you've also learned a lot of your father's bad habits!"
Yu Jingchen coughed and explained, "They are all acquaintances who asked me for help."
“I’m telling you right now, tone down those scandalous stories. Don’t bring any of those girls around me. I won’t acknowledge any of them. You’re not a kid anymore. It’s one thing for your younger brother to be immature, but you’re different. You’re the future pillar of our Yu family. What will people think of us if the girl you marry isn’t up to par?” Duan Meiyuan frowned even deeper. “Don’t bring a girl like that I just saw, someone I don’t like, and talk about true love in front of me.”
Yu Jingchen was amused. "Don't worry, I'm not easily influenced, and I won't really fall for any girl. If you think a girl is nice, introduce her to me. I'll do whatever you say. If you're not satisfied with this wife, I won't want her anymore, okay?"
Duan Meiyuan's expression softened, and she glanced at Yu Shishu, asking, "Shishu, what about you?"
Yu Shishu glanced at Duan Meiyuan and whispered, "Whatever I like is the best."
"What you like might just be something someone made for you to see! You think that little girl is good too?" Duan Meiyuan raised her voice.
Yu Shishu nodded, "She's very good. She's very serious about acting, very talented, very polite, and hardworking." She's also Ye Zhiwei's younger sister.
This was clearly a defiance, and Duan Meiyuan's face immediately darkened. "Shi Shu, although I usually indulge you, if you do something like what just happened in your love life—"
Yu Shishu looked at Duan Meiyuan and said, "Then I will not bring her to see you."
Duan Meiyuan almost choked, but Yu Jingchen quickly calmed her down and coaxed her away. Duan Meiyuan was a little annoyed by her rebellious youngest son. He had angered her before by entering the entertainment industry, and now he was talking back to her for the sake of a young girl in the industry. She got up to leave, saying that she couldn't control him. But as Yu Jingchen saw her off from the ward, Duan Meiyuan still said to Yu Jingchen with concern, "Your brother's temper makes him very easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of. I can't control him. He has always listened to you more than anyone else. You should take care of him. If he gets bullied by someone, you, as his older brother, will have to take responsibility."
Yu Jingchen was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to agree.
Back in the ward, Yu Shishu was sitting on the bed in a daze, seemingly thinking about something. She could only advise him, "Our little Shishu is so old and still doesn't understand. Mom is only doing this for our own good. She's already this age, and once she's made up her mind about something, she can't change it. It's not a big deal if you give in to her a little. Besides, the Miss Ye you like isn't in the entertainment industry. Why were you so harsh today?"
Yu Shishu looked at Yu Jingchen and said, "I just think this is wrong. Ye Yingying is a good person, and Mom shouldn't say such things about her."
“Mom has always been prejudiced against the entertainment industry and hates it when people don’t go her way. You should be able to understand her at her age.” Yu Jingchen looked at Yu Shishu and asked tentatively, “Or is it because Ye Yingying is Ye Zhiwei’s sister that she has to protect her like this even when she’s being bullied?”
"What does this have to do with Ye Zhiwei?"
Yu Jingchen smiled enigmatically, "If it has nothing to do with Ye Zhiwei, then it's because this young lady Ye Yingying has fair skin and delicate features, and seems quite pitiful, so I wanted to take care of her—"
Yu Shishu frowned, his face turning red with anger. He wasn't good at arguing with people, and he rarely spoke to Yu Jingchen. But he still seriously retorted to Yu Jingchen, "It's not that kind of relationship. I just feel that even if you don't like her, you shouldn't bully her like this. She came to visit me."
Yu Jingchen laughed and said, "Our Xiaoshu is such a good child. If you feel that Mom bullied her, then you can apologize to her properly when you get to the film set after you are discharged from the hospital, right?"
Yu Shishu will be discharged from the hospital soon. He has almost fully recovered, but Yu Jingchen and his mother are insisting that he rest more. In another two or three days, it will be difficult to stop Yu Shishu from leaving the hospital.
Yu Shishu is about to be discharged from the hospital, and Yu Jingchen is also starting to reconsider Peng Yuezeng's investment. After the last party, Peng Yuezeng did not contact Yu Jingchen again. Yu Jingchen was unaware that Peng Yuezeng had other ideas. He only felt that he left too suddenly at the time, which led to no follow-up. But judging from the people at the party, no one had a better prospect for development than Yu's Group.
Yu Jingchen planned to contact Peng Yuezeng again when Yu Shishu was discharged from the hospital, but little did he know that Peng Yuezeng was already conducting various investigations into Jiang Jianian.
Peng Yuezeng typically only invests in the most outstanding and promising company in a particular industry with excellent development prospects. He has a keen eye for investment and has directly invested in several small companies that no one else believed in. However, those seemingly insignificant small companies later brought Peng Yuezeng several times the returns.
Competition is fierce in all industries now, and the few companies that emerge in the fierce competition are quickly replaced. Peng Yuezeng has become increasingly cautious about investing in Ye's recently. Even though Yu Jingchen had paved the way for many things, and Yu's has indeed developed faster than other companies under his leadership, Peng Yuezeng has always been on the sidelines and even prepared to invest conservatively this year. Unexpectedly, IV Pharmaceutical Technology, which is owned by Jiang Jianian, suddenly appeared in front of him.
Peng Yuezeng hadn't felt this excited in a long time, but even so, he had to calm down and carefully consider whether to invest, as this investment was indeed very risky, and the founder of IV Medical Technology, Jiang Jianian, was far too young.
