Under Qin Manshu's expectant gaze, Ye Zhiwei reluctantly agreed. In this situation, she really couldn't say no. She couldn't very well say she would do her best one second and then refuse a request that was obviously not very demanding the next.
She glanced at the man beside Qin Manshu and then at Ji Shuli, and could only agree for now. As for how to help or whether it would be effective, that was another matter. After all, she just needed to show that she had done her best. If Ji Shuli really didn't like Ye Zhiwei, there was nothing she could do.
After Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli left.
Jiang Shichu clearly wanted to bring up the fact that Ji Shuli was younger than him, but he didn't dare. He knew that Qin Manshu's answer after asking would be truly despairing. Jiang Shichu knew that Qin Manshu wouldn't give him a satisfactory answer, and she might even be thinking of asking him in return: "Can't you tell? Saying you're young is just a way of rejecting you."
How much younger could he be than Qin Manshu? That's just an excuse. If he doesn't like someone, he doesn't like them. She's already very happy that he can help her as a friend, childhood sweetheart, and so on.
Jiang Shichu avoided the topic again. Even though he already knew the truth, he still disliked Qin Manshu's heartless words. He simply asked, "The eldest daughter of the Ye family is only a freshman in college. The Ye family gave the Ye Group to the boy brought by their new wife. Even IV, which Peng Yuezeng invested in, belongs to that boy. Your actions make me wonder if you're interested in that boy or Ye Zhiwei. But even if IV is that boy, so what? He's just a college-aged boy. Even with the Ye family's support, what can he possibly accomplish—"
"Doesn't Peng Yuezeng's investment prove anything?"
"Maybe five, seven, or even ten years, but it shouldn't be now at the very least; he's still too young."
Qin Manshu left the hotel and walked towards the exit.
Jiang Shichu immediately understood that Qin Manshu did not want to answer, and his hands clenched slightly. Qin Manshu smiled and said to Jiang Shichu, "Are you going to be my driver or should I call a driver to pick me up?"
Jiang Shichu clenched his fists, and after a few seconds said, "I'll go get the car."
He already understood that Qin Manshu didn't want to answer his question. Qin Manshu had too many secrets. How could Jiang Shichu not notice some of Qin Manshu's changes, and even some of the things she did were difficult to predict using common sense? But Qin Manshu didn't want to talk about it, and Jiang Shichu wouldn't force Qin Manshu to talk about it. He just planned to stay by Qin Manshu's side until she took the initiative to speak.
He gave Qin Manshu a deep look before heading towards the underground parking lot. Qin Manshu stood at the exit, wearing a black trench coat with simple, understated clothing underneath. Even with the simple style, it was clear that the clothes were haute couture. Qin Manshu also had a good temperament, and everyone could tell that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. Some people even recognized her as the current head of the Jiang family.
The person who recognized Qin Manshu even took a picture of her without her knowledge. They probably forgot to turn off the flash. Qin Manshu turned to look at the person who took the picture, but she didn't say anything to them directly. She just glanced at them briefly, then turned back to wait for Jiang Shichu's car, seemingly out of place in the environment.

After Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Shichu got in touch, they also considered this matter. Ye Qingcheng is recovering fairly well now, and his condition is under control and has not worsened. On the contrary, there is a possibility of rejection during the transplant process.
Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli ate takeout. When they returned, Ye Qingcheng had already finished his walk and gone back to his room to rest. Because of his leukemia, Ye Qingcheng was quite tired and would definitely sleep a lot throughout the day.
This matter can only be discussed later.
Usually, the house is more lively when Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli are around. Ye Qingcheng, Jiang Jianian, and Ye Yingying are not talkative. After dinner, without Ye Zhiwei to liven things up, they all quickly went back to their rooms to rest. When Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli returned, the living room became much quieter. Ye Zhiwei was also a bit tired after being out all afternoon. She put the snacks she brought back from Tang Xin into the refrigerator and went upstairs to rest.
Before she even reached her room and opened the door, she was pulled inside without even realizing where she was going. Before she could react, she was pressed against the door and kissed in the dark. Her hands were pressed against the door. The person who was holding her down and kissing her was hard, and the door behind her was also hard. As if he noticed that Ye Zhiwei was eating candy, the boy who was holding and kissing her put his hand on the back of her head, worried that she might bump it.
Although it was completely dark inside, with not a single light visible, one could clearly feel the kisses, the embrace, and even the body's presence—"Jiang Jianian!"
She recognized Jiang Jianian.
Jiang Jianian whispered in her ear with a smile, "You recognized me."
"What are you doing hiding here? You actually ambushed me from here!"
Jiang Jianian smiled, his eyes narrowed: "Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump."
"When did you realize I was back?"
Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes, "The security personnel outside notified me that you were back the moment you walked in."
"Is this a guest room?"
Jiang Jianian said to Ye Zhiwei, "It's a guest room."
They staked out the guest room area. This person was really something. Ye Zhiwei tried to push Jiang Jianian, but he didn't move. Even though it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, Ye Zhiwei could inexplicably feel Jiang Jianian staring at her. She felt nervous being stared at, and in the dark room, the feeling was magnified infinitely. When Jiang Jianian stared at her, she could even feel the heat in his gaze.
He lowered his head and kissed Ye Zhiwei again, but this time the kiss was much more ferocious than the gentle one at the beginning. He pressed his hand tightly against Ye Zhiwei's and bit her while kissing her. Not only did he kiss her against the door, but he even carried her to the bedside. When she sat on the bed, Jiang Jianian supported himself on one side of the bed. When she moved back, Jiang Jianian used his hands to hold her still.
This wasn't just a kiss; it carried a hint of roughness. Ye Zhiwei's lips were bitten red, and even her chin and collarbone, where they were exposed, were not spared. He kissed and bit her simultaneously, leaving a red, suggestive patch. This was a bit too much for Ye Zhiwei, who pushed Jiang Jianian away, complaining pitifully, "How could you be so rude—"
"Rude?" Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes and said cryptically, "I was originally planning to punish you properly, but I didn't realize it."
Miss Ye: ? ? ?
She finally felt a chill run down her spine, a bad premonition. She chuckled awkwardly, "I didn't do anything wrong today, did I, boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend." Jiang Jianian repeated Ye Zhiwei's words. He stared at Ye Zhiwei for a long time in the darkness before continuing in a shrewd tone, "You still know I'm your boyfriend? I see you look really interested in those young and handsome boys. You want to keep a young hunk, Ye Zhiwei."
No wonder she seemed so easy to coax in the afternoon; it turns out she wasn't calmed down but was actually preparing to settle scores with her.
