Jiang Jianian stared at Ye Zhiwei with burning eyes. His hands, which were originally cold, were now hot. He stroked Ye Zhiwei's face, which was already red, and under the boy's touch, it seemed to ripen even more.
He leaned down and kissed Ye Zhiwei, asking in his husky, wicked voice, "You're willing?"
"Mm." Ye Zhiwei nodded, without the slightest hesitation this time.
Jiang Jianian whispered with a smile to Ye Zhiwei, "How could you do this? What if I can't help but bully you even more in the future?"
Ye Zhiwei straightened her back and avoided eye contact.
Jiang Jianian straightened Ye Zhiwei up again and stared intently at her.
“Look at me, baby,” he said to her.

The popularity of Yu Shishu and Ye Yingying has likely been deliberately suppressed. Many of their previous prediction and analysis posts have been deleted, and those who actually know the facts and speak out are being severely criticized, accused of trying to gain attention and popularity.
Fortunately, Yu Jingchen controlled the conversation in time. Yu's media company also called to report the situation to Yu Jingchen. After hanging up, Yu Jingchen smiled and apologized to Qin Manshu, who came to his office.
Qin Manshu was looking at trending topics on the tablet in Yu Jingchen's office when she was surprised to find that these topics disappeared very quickly. The analysis posts she was reading were gone no matter how many times she refreshed the page, and searching for Yu Shishu's name only returned "cannot be found".
Qin Manshu put away the computer, looked at Yu Jingchen, this man who had mastered the art of capital, and smiled as she asked, "Is Yu Shishu your brother?"
“Yes.” Yu Jingchen sighed, “He didn’t used to like these things, but lately, I don’t know why—”
There are many conflicting opinions online, and netizens who don't understand the truth are easily swayed by the narrative. Yu Jingchen is too good at manipulating public opinion, so he naturally doesn't like his younger brother being judged online. He basically suppressed the popularity of all topics related to Yu Shishu online, except for the Weibo posts that Yu Shishu refused to delete.
Yu Jingchen frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, as he thought of his younger brother being tied up with Ye Yingying. He took a sip of tea.
Qin Manshu was clearly very interested in this matter. She rested her elbows on the table, clasped her hands together, and asked with great interest, "Are your brother and Ye Yingying really a couple?"
"Completely fictitious."
"Oh, I see." Qin Manshu seemed to suddenly understand, and then continued to ask, "But the analysis seems to make a lot of sense to me. I remember your younger brother, Yu Shishu, right? He's a ratings guarantee in the entertainment industry. As long as it's a drama directed by Yu Shishu, there's no fear that the ratings won't break 1. He has created the legend of breaking his own ratings several times. Besides his excellent directing talent, I've also heard that he doesn't like to get involved in anything in the entertainment industry. He doesn't care at all about the actresses and top-tier celebrities he promoted. And he doesn't like celebrities when he's filming dramas. Is it possible that such a genius director has made exceptions for this girl named Ye Yingying time and time again?"
Yu Jingchen seemed to sense something, and he narrowed his eyes as he asked, "You seem very interested in my brother's affairs."
Qin Manshu said with a smile, "I just saw it and found it interesting, so I asked the person involved's brother."
“Public opinion is the easiest thing to guide and control. People who don’t know the true nature of things will only judge based on what they see on the surface. These kinds of people who only see the surface and only know the tip of the iceberg are the easiest to use and control. I don’t think Miss Qin belongs to this kind of person.” Yu Jingchen poured Qin Manshu another glass of water and placed it in front of her, and continued, “At the same time, I don’t think Miss Qin would be so interested in the entertainment industry.”
Qin Manshu remained silent.
Yu Jingchen smiled and looked at Qin Manshu, then continued, "However, I'm a little curious whether Miss Qin is more interested in my brother or Ye Yingying."
Qin Manshu said calmly, "Does it matter who I'm interested in?"
"If Miss Qin is interested in my brother, then I'm sorry, but there's no way my brother and you can be together. Besides, I should be more at ease with your grandmother than with my brother. Otherwise, Miss Qin wouldn't have been forced to accept my invitations one after another. Miss Qin isn't the kind of person who would agree to something just out of politeness. I think someone must have put pressure on Miss Qin, and that person is probably her grandmother."
Qin Manshu didn't speak, but her silence told Yu Jingchen that he had guessed correctly. He guessed that Qin Manshu was still relatively obedient to Old Madam Qin. If he wanted to control Qin Manshu, he only needed to work on Old Madam Qin.
Yu Jingchen continued, "Of course, if Miss Qin is interested in Ye Yingying, that would explain it even more. Ye Yingying seems to have a good relationship with the young master of the Ji family. Miss Qin's interest in Ye Yingying is probably because of Ji Shuli."
Qin Manshu remained silent, but she smiled at Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen knew in his heart that Qin Manshu had no interest in him and was very wary of him. It was Qin Manshu's attitude that made Yu Jingchen realize that Qin Manshu was the marriage partner he needed. He intended to develop in the pharmaceutical industry, and the Qin family was a leader in this field. Qin Manshu and he could not get involved, which would maximize the benefits of the marriage. Yu Jingchen wanted to make the marriage profitable without being bound by it, and Qin Manshu was obviously the most ideal choice.
Now, Old Mrs. Qin clearly hopes that Qin Manshu will choose a trial marriage partner in the near future according to her requirements. Given the conflict between the Qin family and the Ji family, it is destined that Qin Manshu and Ji Shuli cannot be together. Yu Jingchen does not think that Qin Manshu has a better choice than himself.
Qin Manshu knew Yu Jingchen's thoughts, and she took the initiative to bring up the previous project, "Mr. Yu, didn't you say you were interested in the pharmaceutical industry? The project I mentioned before..."
She was halfway through her sentence when Yu Jingchen interrupted Qin Manshu: "Miss Qin, you are still young. I know that children who grow up under parental control often yearn to prove their abilities through other means, but recklessness is not a good thing—"
"You don't think this project is promising." Qin Manshu couldn't help but laugh. "Or have you never even looked at this project? I think Mr. Yu isn't interested in the pharmaceutical industry itself, but rather in the pharmaceutical industry behind the Qin family. You say you want to invest in the pharmaceutical industry, but actually you want to directly control the Qin family behind me. Do you think that if you marry into my family, the Qin family will be yours?"
Qin Manshu got up from the sofa, took out the project proposal and related plans from her bag and placed them on the table. "Mr. Yu, the person you want to marry is me, but unfortunately you can't even give me the most basic respect. This makes me wonder how you plan to scheme against me after our two families are really united by marriage. Do you really think that as long as you convince my grandmother to marry me, it will be a done deal? Since the person I marry can't be Ji Shuli, it doesn't matter who it is. You, Yu Jingchen, are not the only one who can be united by marriage. You are not as good as you say, Mr. Yu."
