Yu Shishu's accident didn't change the atmosphere of the party at all. After Yu Jingchen left with Yu Shishu, everyone who wanted to secure Peng Yuezeng's investment started to get restless. Everyone knew that the old gentleman had been getting closer to Yu Jingchen recently, and Yu Jingchen was particularly good at manipulating people's minds. Knowing that Peng Yuezeng liked his younger brother's TV series, he secretly had someone spread the news. Everyone present vaguely felt that Yu Jingchen was basically going to secure Peng Yuezeng's cooperation. Unexpectedly, his younger brother suddenly had an accident. Yu Jingchen really dotes on his younger brother, and he just left.
Peng Yuezeng was surrounded by many people, but Jiang Jianian, Ji Shuli, and Ye Zhiwei were unable to join the conversation.
Ji Shuli and Ye Zhiwei could both sense that the old gentleman was particularly picky and seemed not very satisfied with Jiang Jianian. Although he was amiable to Ji Shuli and Ye Zhiwei, he was clearly not very pleased with Jiang Jianian.
The three of them already knew that it would be difficult to gain Peng Yuezeng's favor. Now that they saw many very successful companies vying for Peng Yuezeng's attention, Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli were ready to give up on persuading the old man. It was simply too difficult to grasp Peng Yuezeng's mind. Most importantly, although they couldn't move Peng Yuezeng, they had inadvertently saved Yu Shishu. They only hoped that Yu Jingchen would remember that Jiang Jianian had helped him and not repay kindness with enmity.
Ye Zhiwei was also feeling a bit down. She couldn't help but observe Jiang Jianian. Ever since Jiang Jianian saved Yu Shishu, she had been unsure of what Jiang Jianian was thinking.
She asked Jiang Jianian several times in a low voice if he was in a bad mood, and Jiang Jianian calmly told Ye Zhiwei that he was not in a bad mood.
Ye Zhiwei originally wanted to have a private chat with Jiang Jianian, but soon, several rich second-generation kids she had met at Ye University also came to the party. Most of them came with their elders, and when they saw Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli, they naturally took the opportunity to come over and talk. Ye Zhiwei could only force herself to continue to deal with the party.
*
Ye Zhiwei was surrounded by several girls from Yenching University. They had all witnessed the scene when Jiang Jianian saved Yu Shishu and couldn't help but discuss how charming Jiang Jianian was when he calmly performed the rescue.
Only Bai Zhi's expression was somewhat strange.
Only when it was just Ye Zhiwei and her did Bai Zhi ask Ye Zhiwei to confirm, "Zhiwei, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"You and Jiang Jianian..."
Ye Zhiwei laughed and said, "He's my boyfriend. You already knew that when we went out together before, so what?"
These words left Bai Zhi speechless. She looked troubled because when she was about to ask Jiang Jianian for help, she sensed that the young man might not be the same as she had imagined. She could understand that his aloofness might just be part of his personality, but she couldn't understand why Jiang Jianian, who was clearly capable of saving people, had initially rejected Yu Jingchen. Even when he stood aside and looked at Yu Shishu, his eyes were cold, showing no intention of offering any help.
This made Bai Zhi feel that Jiang Jianian was not a kind person. On the one hand, she admired Jiang Jianian's calmness and skill in saving people, but on the other hand, she felt that Jiang Jianian gave her a sense of incongruity. She almost suspected that if Ye Zhiwei had not said something to him at the time, he would have really stood by and watched. The benevolent doctor's eyes revealed a hint of malice.
Others might not notice, but Bai Zhi could keenly sense that Jiang Jianian didn't want to save people.
Bai Zhi looked at Ye Zhiwei. She knew that she shouldn't say anything bad about Jiang Jianian, both morally and logically. She took a deep breath and swallowed back what she wanted to say. She smiled and replied to Ye Zhiwei, "It's nothing."
Bai Zhi kept her thoughts to herself, but Ye Zhiwei could guess what she meant from Bai Zhi's hesitant expression.
She guessed what Bai Zhi was thinking, and while she was surprised by Bai Zhi's thoughtfulness, she also seemed to understand what Jiang Jianian was thinking.
Jiang Jianian lacks a sense of security.
From the moment they attended the banquet, Yu Jingchen had been instigating things. Ye Qingcheng's old friend Peng Yuezeng also expressed his dislike for Jiang Jianian. Even Bai Zhi, though she didn't say it explicitly, implied that she also thought Jiang Jianian was problematic.
Not only these people, but many others also believe that a young lady like Ye Zhiwei is definitely not a good match for Jiang Jianian. In their view, even if Jiang Jianian is a genius with outstanding abilities, he is just a poor boy who was temporarily placed in the Ye family because of Song Min. His status is completely different from Ye Zhiwei's.
Does Jiang Jianian feel insecure?
How could that be? He's the male lead. In the original story, he's ruthless and decisive, and in the future, he might even change the entire pharmaceutical market, conquer other markets, and gradually build his company into the top. When facing a female lead who doesn't like him, he can disregard her thoughts and keep her by his side.
He used to be able to do whatever he wanted, but now many of the things he does are for her.
Jiang Jianian suppressed all his negativity, stood patiently beside Ye Zhiwei, and calmly accepted everyone's suspicions. Even just now, at Ye Zhiwei's request, he suppressed his negative emotions and saved Yu Shishu.
Ye Zhiwei clenched her fists.
She looked at Jiang Jianian, who was standing next to Ji Shuli, and after a moment of silence, sent a text message to Ji Shuli: I guess we won't get Grandpa Peng's investment, but Jiang Jianian just saved Yu Shishu, so Yu Jingchen shouldn't do anything to us anymore, right? I'm going to leave with Jiang Jianian. You can handle the rest of the party. If Grandpa Peng asks, just say I'm not feeling well and Jiang Jianian took me to the hospital. I'll visit him another day.
After Ye Zhiwei finished speaking with Bai Zhi, she quickly walked towards Jiang Jianian and quietly pulled Jiang Jianian away while the group of people around Ji Shuli were talking to Ji Shuli.
Right under Ji Shuli's nose.
Ji Shuli: ...
Before leaving, Ye Zhiwei pointed to her phone, indicating to Ji Shuli that she had sent him a text message. Then she gestured for Jiang Jianian to be quiet before leaving with him.
Jiang Jianian didn't seem to understand what Ye Zhiwei was planning to do by suddenly taking her away. He narrowed his eyes but didn't ask any more questions and followed Ye Zhiwei out of the hotel.
As soon as she left the hotel, Ji Shuli began bombarding people with messages.
Ji Shuli: ? ? ?
Ji Shuli: What are you doing, leaving all of a sudden!
Ji Shuli: Little cousin, you really left me all alone at the party? Shouldn't you have taken me with you? I'll be scared if I'm alone!
Ye Zhiwei: I see you're perfectly at home.
Ji Shuli: ...
After sending a series of ellipses, Ji Shuli asked again: So why did you suddenly leave? Little cousin, are you really not feeling well?
Ye Zhiwei: No, I just want to date Jiang Jianian. [shy][shy][shy]
