Yu Shishu seemed somewhat surprised.
Because Jiang Jianian had a very good temperament, looking like a well-bred young master from a wealthy family, although Yu Shishu was surprised that Jiang Jianian's biological father was a murderer, he still corrected Yu Jingchen, saying, "Even if his father is a murderer, what does that have to do with him?"
Yu Jingchen chuckled, "Don't you know that this kind of inherent flaw can be inherited?"
His words were filled with a sense of class superiority. This was his family, his experiences, and the people he had met, which had instilled in him such a deep-rooted idea. His words were also laced with arrogance. He felt that Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei were not on the same path, and that their fate was destined to be bad.
Yu Shishu did not agree with Yu Jingchen's point of view. He wanted to refute Yu Jingchen, but before he could speak, Yu's father, Yu Guochang, had already brought Ye Qingcheng into the Yu family home.
Although Yu Shishu had already given up on Ye Zhiwei, he still stood up nervously when he learned that Ye Qingcheng was Ye Zhiwei's father.
Yu Jingchen smiled inwardly; Yu Shishu's nervousness made him feel that he had made the right choice.
He stood up with Yu Shishu and looked at his younger brother, who seemed a little awkward. He was clearly not good at dealing with elders, but he had to speak up because the other party was Ye Zhiwei's father, Ye Qingcheng. "Uncle Ye, hello, I am Yu Shishu."
Yu Jingchen smiled and added, "Uncle Ye, this is my younger brother Shi Shu, whom I mentioned to you before. It's just a coincidence that my father invited you to our home as soon as my brother returned."
Ye Qingcheng disliked Yu Jingchen, this junior, quite a bit. He admitted that Yu Jingchen was indeed smart and excellent, but he was too opportunistic in some ways. He had a very clear distinction between his own people and his own, but he was always sarcastic and veiled towards others. Ye Qingcheng could easily see through Yu Jingchen's subtle but pointed attacks on Jiang Jianian last time.
Ye Qingcheng had initially thought that Yu Jingchen's much-praised younger brother was nothing special, but upon meeting him, this young master Yu Shishu was somewhat unexpected. Yu Shishu appeared shy and reserved, yet his eyes were pure and innocent, like a young man who had just entered society but was still naive. He was so different from Yu Jingchen. If Yu Jingchen seemed full of pragmatism, then Yu Shishu was much simpler. He seemed well-protected, and there were so many aspects of him that were out of step with this superficial society.
This is indeed a very likable junior. Even though Ye Qingcheng didn't like Yu Shishu because of his older brother Yu Jingchen, it was hard for him to dislike him after meeting him in person. Considering that Yu Jingchen had always spoken up for his younger brother and implied that he wanted to introduce his younger brother to Zhiwei, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but wonder: Could this younger brother have feelings for Zhiwei?
With a vague suspicion in his heart, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
No matter how good Yu Shishu is, it's impossible for him to stay. Given the Ye family's situation and Jiang Jianian's character, there's no one more suitable for Ye Zhiwei than Jiang Jianian.
Ye Qingcheng had a few thoughts running through his mind, but he only smiled and nodded politely at Yu Jingchen and Yu Shishu. He turned to Yu Guochang and praised his two sons: "Your two children are both very good-looking and quite intelligent. Guochang, you are truly blessed."
"Oh, not at all. Boys are all very mischievous. The mothers of these two kids and I often can't keep up with them." Yu Guochang shook his head, then turned to Yu Jingchen as if he had thought of something and asked, "Where's your mother?"
As soon as Mr. Yu finished asking his question, Mrs. Yu finished instructing the housekeeper and came over. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the hall, she saw her husband had already brought Ye Qingcheng as a guest. Mrs. Yu smiled warmly and said, "Come, come, have some tea. Mr. Ye, you are a rare guest in our family. You are a big shot in the technology industry. My son has been saying for a long time that he wants to learn from you."
Ye Qingcheng laughed and said, "Jing Chen has his own strengths, he doesn't need to learn anything from me..."
"He's not outstanding at all. He just got lucky at the beginning and achieved some success. If it weren't for his father helping and keeping an eye on things, he wouldn't have been able to do this. You're the one who's amazing. You're a big shot who has made the Ye family one of the top companies. How can Jing Chen compare to you?" Mrs. Yu said modestly while smiling.
After putting on the tall hat, Yu's mother exchanged a few pleasantries with Ye Qingcheng and then began to subtly inquire about Ye Qingcheng's daughter, "Old Ye, I heard you have a daughter, and she's already in college this year?"
Ye Qingcheng gave Yu Jingchen a deep look and replied to Yu's mother, "I do have a daughter, and she is indeed in university."
"Your wife was a famous beauty back then, her children must have been very beautiful too, right?" Mrs. Yu said regretfully, "Why do you keep your daughter hidden from everyone? Are you afraid that she will be taken away early because she is too good-looking and outstanding?"
As Yu's mother praised Ye Zhiwei, how could Ye Qingcheng not be happy? He smiled and said, "No, no, she's just so-so. She's very disobedient and always makes me worry about her. Fortunately, she has a child I can trust to look after her now, so I can be more at ease for the time being. Otherwise, with her personality and temper, I'm afraid she might get into trouble if she went elsewhere. Didn't she almost get bullied by her classmates not long ago?"
Although Ye Qingcheng spoke in a friendly manner, he was not polite at all and stated his position directly: My daughter is taken and has already been betrothed, so your son has no chance.
Yu's mother had previously heard from Yu Jingchen that Ye Zhiwei didn't have a boyfriend yet, but she was shocked to hear from Ye Qingcheng that the girl was already taken. She was greatly disappointed and glared angrily at Yu Jingchen, feeling that she had lost face. She made an excuse to go check on the lunch in the kitchen after chatting for a few more minutes and left in a hurry.
Mr. Yu was unaware that Mrs. Yu wanted to arrange a blind date for their youngest son. He thought that Yu Jingchen wanted to learn from Ye Qingcheng. He was a typical straight man with a strong sense of male chauvinism. When he saw Mrs. Yu asking about lunch, he suddenly realized that he had invited Ye Qingcheng for drinks. After chatting with Ye Qingcheng for a few more minutes, he went to his study to get down the wine he had been treasuring for a long time so that Ye Qingcheng could see it.
After Mr. Yu left, only Ye Qingcheng and the two young masters of the Yu family remained in the hall.
Yu Shishu listened to Ye Qingcheng and his mother's conversation without saying a word. Even after his parents left, he sat down beside them, pursing his lips and looking somewhat lost and sad, drinking tea.
Yu Shishu remained silent. Seeing this, Yu Jingchen felt sorry for him. Taking advantage of the elders' absence, he spoke bluntly to Ye Qingcheng: "Uncle Ye, didn't you see my brother? Are you still not satisfied with him? I've always felt that my brother and your daughter are a match made in heaven—can you really trust your daughter to have a boyfriend from a poor family with a father who has a history of murder? Do you really think Jiang Jianian is suitable for your daughter?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said calmly, "Suitable? Child, what do you think is suitable? In my opinion, they are equally knowledgeable and have similar inner cultivation. In fact, Jia Nian can see much further than my daughter. In a way, Jia Nian is the one who is wronged. How can it be that he is not good enough for my daughter? During the year he lived in my Ye family, I knew his character, his situation, and how much he cared for my daughter. What else could I be worried about?"
Before Yu Jingchen could say anything more, Yu Shishu couldn't help but interrupt him, saying, "Brother, don't ask anymore!"
