After dinner, Lily and Zhou Jingren spent some time outside to look at the city lights from their terrace before going inside.
“To be honest, I have no interest in the Entertainment Industry or investing in one,” Lily said before she yawned. “I am not very interested in Chen Shi’s recording company as well. I don’t know… I just think that the Entertainment industry is a very… toxic place.”
“Then don’t worry about it.” Zhou Jingren said as he started massaging Lily’s legs. He just asked Lily about her opinion on investing in the Entertainment Industry because of Chen Shi. “For now, Chen Shi is not doing anything. But Jun Liang called me earlier today, informing me that his brother indeed begged him for Demi’s location. Now… he is adamant to get a DNA test done.”
“Finally. He is a smart man.” Lily said. “Also… starting from now… I will go with you in your office and just stay there to sleep. I get so bored here and to be honest, I don’t want to interact with other people in this neighborhood.”
“Excellent decision.”
“That Jiang Ruo is very scheming. She must be used to being respected because of her seniority. I don’t know… my instinct is telling me that she is trying too hard to get close.”
Zhou Jingren nodded at her words. He then crawled into bed with her.
…
Yu Mansion
“So… when are you going to have a press conference?” Yu Helong, the Eldest son of Old Man Yu leaned against his leather chair as he stared at his son sitting opposite him. “You already left that woman, right?” he asked.
“Of course.” Yu Jing took a sip of his coffee. “Two days from now. But I already released some comments about this matter on the tabloids.”
“Good.” His father nodded. “This is your mistake. Next time you should choose someone that can fake it better.” He sneered.
“Stop mocking me father,” Yu Jing chuckled. “I really like that woman.”
“If you like her, then make her leave the entertainment industry. That place is so treacherous. We already have enough matters in our Yu Family. We don’t need any more drama.”
“I understand.” As expected, his father would tell him to make Qiao Qiao leave the industry. He smiled inwardly. This only made him feel that he did the right thing. “Where is mother? I haven’t seen her since I arrived. Is she still upset about last night?” he changed the topic.
“Your mother is throwing her usual tantrum. She had been crying in the bathroom since I arrived.”
“Then…. Buy her something.” Yu Jing immediately suggested. Growing up, Yu Jing is not a stranger to this scenario. He had seen his mother breakdown in the most simple things. She would cause drama and cry and would refuse to eat for days until his father would buy her something nice. A new bag, designer shoes, and jewelry.
“Hmmm… already ordered one from Europe. This time… it is different. I haven’t heard the whole story yet, but her attendant told me that she went to see Lily earlier.”
The mention of Lily’s name instantly made Yu Jing frown. “Why would she see her? Are you…” He did not continue his words when he saw his father shook his head.
“I didn’t ask her to do anything. But I believe after the events at the birthday party, she blamed herself for the embarrassment that we all had. She thought it was because she made Lily gave her gift first.”
“Still… she should avoid that woman.” Yu Jing said. “Lily Facci Zhou is not someone that she can just offend.”
“Hmmm… I will talk to her about this matter.”
“I am serious father. Do not offend that woman.”
“I understand. I am not that petty. Moreover, I already decided to avoid her when my father called her and Zhou Jingren for a private conversation. With mother getting weaker and weaker every day, I can feel that the old man is planning something sinister.”
“Do you think… Do you think grandfather told them about the poisoning?”
“I have no idea, Jing. Everyone is on edge right now. Father… is very adamant about his will. He said that he won’t change his will and this… this is making everyone nervous.”
Yu Jing turned silent at his father’s words. “Then… stop thinking about it. So what if we won’t get something from his inheritance? Yu Entertainment is an independent company. We can survive on our own even without him. My only concern… is… you, mother, and my younger siblings.”
“I won’t let them get hurt.”
“Then… you better send them abroad.” Yu Jing said. “My sister and brother. Send them abroad before grandmother die.”
His father stared at him for a few seconds before he nodded. He too had been thinking about this matter for a while now. “I will do that as soon as I can.” He said.
“Good. Their safety should be our priority.” Yu Jing added. His grandfather’s ruthless and unpredictable ways had affected everyone’s lives. He would not want his younger sister and brother to experience whatever it is that will follow their grandmother’s death.
He let out a deep sigh. He might be a monster in his own way. However, to Yu Jing, family is everything. His father, mother, and siblings are the most important people in his life. He would not want them to get hurt just because of a pointless fight.
“Jing… I don’t want you to misunderstand your grandfather.”
Yu Jing lifted his head to look at his father. He met his eyes as he nodded. His father had always been calm and levelheaded. This was the reason why his Old Man Yu chose him to manage the company. Aside from this Yu Helong also seemed to understand Old Man Yu’s reasoning in everything that the old man does.
Maybe this was because Yu Helong is his Eldest son or maybe this is because his father is naturally smart. “Alright,” he assured his father. What is there to misunderstand? Old Man Yu was a ruthless man that would rather have a stranger inherit his company.
