Yu Jingchen was shocked by Qin Manshu's patience. Although he did not show any change in expression in front of Qin Manshu, his hand holding the teacup obviously paused.
Qin Manshu noticed Yu Jingchen's actions and smiled instead, "Are you feeling guilty about this?"
Qin Manshu touched her face, and said in a nonchalant tone as if she didn't feel anything, "Oh, that's it. Grandma is old. Maybe it's because of the accident with my father and mother that she has always felt insecure. It's normal for older people to have difficulty controlling their temper sometimes. Grandma is just trying to do what's best for me. It's just that she's too afraid that I will do something wrong, so her way of dealing with it is a bit hasty."
Even at a time like this, she still spoke up for Old Madam Qin. Even Yu Jingchen admired Qin Manshu's character; this woman was truly remarkable in her patience.
Yu Jingchen did not continue talking about what had just happened, but changed the subject and said with some guilt, "Because I had a chat with Miss Qin at Tangxin Dessert Shop before, I sincerely want to marry Miss Qin as my wife, and I am dating her with marriage in mind. The old lady is getting old, and I suppose her wish in this life is to see her granddaughter get married and find a place to settle down. If we can appease the old lady and take over the Qin family well, it will not be too late to consider other issues. I do not mind that Miss Qin and I can benefit each other."
This is the second time Yu Jingchen has extended an olive branch to Qin Manshu.
Qin Manshu looked at Yu Jingchen without speaking, and after a few seconds asked, "Mr. Yu seems to be very interested in the pharmaceutical industry. I heard that he has been looking into related companies in the industry recently and is even trying to invest in pharmaceutical companies?"
"They believe this industry has great potential, and the Yu family's recent revenue has been quite good. They've also set their sights on the huge pharmaceutical market. I know that the medical industry still has many drugs that haven't been developed and needs to be constantly imported from abroad. These imported drugs aren't cheap—pharmaceutical research and development has always been lacking. It's indeed a very expensive project, but if related drugs, especially effective anti-cancer drugs, can be developed, the profits will be quite substantial." Yu Jingchen said with a smile, "Of course, it's not just about business; it also has a huge impact on society. I remember the Qin family has always been very humane, donating to many projects every year and even doing free medical check-ups. I greatly admire companies like the Qin family that have such a humanistic spirit."
Yu Jingchen spoke frankly, and Qin Manshu smiled, "Actually, I happen to have a project here. Would Mr. Yu like to learn more about it?"
Yu Jingchen remained silent, clearly indicating that he would not easily express his opinion until he was certain of Qin Manshu's meaning.
Qin Manshu knew, of course, that Yu Jingchen was a cautious person, so she didn't say much. She simply said tactfully, "If Mr. Yu is simply interested in this industry, then there just happens to be such a project. Of course, if Mr. Yu simply wants to get close to the Qin family behind me, to please my grandmother and force me to compromise, that would be another good way."
Yu Jingchen smiled and said, "Miss Qin is joking again."
Qin Manshu took a sip of her tea and said slowly, "That's right, I'm just someone who likes to joke. Mr. Yu, go back and think about it. Maybe we can cooperate in other areas."
After Qin Manshu finished speaking, she said she was tired and wanted to see the guest out. Yu Jingchen had also achieved his goal. He smiled and ended the visit. After Yu Jingchen left, Qin Manshu finished her tea and then began to clean up the mess on the table. A maid saw this and immediately went to clean up, but Qin Manshu said indifferently, "No need for you, I can do it myself."
She began to calmly tidy up the tea set, from pouring out the tea leaves to washing the cups. She smiled as she watched the tea set gradually become clean in her hands. After tidying everything up, she prepared the medicine and water that Old Mrs. Qin needed, and delivered the medicine to Old Mrs. Qin as usual.
The old lady knew Qin Manshu had returned as soon as she heard the knocking, and she stood there with a sullen face.
Qin Manshu smiled as she delivered the medicine and water to the old lady's door, respectfully placing them on the table next to her.
Old Mrs. Qin said coldly, "Didn't I say I didn't want to see you?"
“Even if Grandma doesn’t want to see me, I still need to take care of my health. I still need to take my medicine on time every day. The doctor said you need to rest more and supplement your trace elements.” Qin Manshu seemed to have no lingering resentment at being slapped in public by Old Madam Qin. She seemed not to care that Old Madam Qin had embarrassed her in front of everyone, nor did she care about her image in front of Yu Jingchen. She was like a cold robot simply following the rules.
On the contrary, Old Madam Qin didn't find anything wrong with Qin Manshu's actions. She was used to Qin Manshu's obedience. While taking her medicine, she looked at Qin Manshu and said arrogantly, "Grandma is doing all this for your own good. You'll know in the future that those things are the most unreliable. Only with the family's position can you always be the eldest daughter of the Qin family. If it weren't for the Qin family, what would you be? People would only look down on you and despise you. You should be proud to be born into a family like ours, and you should do something for our Qin family. I think Yu Jingchen is not bad. He's also quite capable. You can get to know him a little."
This time, Qin Manshu didn't resist at all. She nodded and calmly left the old lady's room after serving her grandmother. Once outside the room, cracks finally appeared on her mask-like face, a mixture of laughter and tears. Even though Qin Manshu always humbled herself in front of the old lady, and sometimes the old lady would lose her temper, the seemingly good-tempered Qin Manshu still held a very high position in the Qin family. Even though she wasn't liked by the old lady, everyone was still careful in front of Qin Manshu, afraid of making any mistakes.

Ye Zhiwei noticed that she had heard very little from Qin Manshu since inviting her to her home last time. She also stopped pursuing Ji Shuli. Because Qin Manshu's attitude towards Ye Yingying was a bit strange, Ye Zhiwei stopped inviting Qin Manshu to the Ye family home. She would only occasionally inquire about Jiang Shichu's health through Qin Manshu, but this time was decreasing. She had been spending too much time at the Ye family home, and it was time for Ye Zhiwei to return to school.
As Ye Qingcheng gradually recovered, even though Ye Zhiwei wanted to stay at home, Ye Qingcheng kept urging her to go to school.
Although Ye Qingcheng has not officially taken back control of the Ye Group, he has allowed Jiang Jianian to return to Ye Zhiwei at Yanda University first. If anything happens to the Ye Group, Jiang Jianian can come back.
At Ye Qingcheng's request, Ye Zhiwei, who had stayed at home for several more days, returned to school with Jiang Jianian and the little doll. At this time, more than half of the second semester of Yan University had already passed.
