Chapter 221 Brother, was this all planned by you?
Yun Yun was still mentally selecting her troops when Yun Zhi suddenly uttered three words mysteriously, "Ye Chengyan."
Upon hearing the words "Ye Chengyan," Yun Yun choked on the mineral water in his mouth. He clutched his chest and coughed violently, his originally fair cheeks turning red from coughing.
While patting Yun Yun's back to help him breathe, Yun Zhi asked worriedly, "Brother, are you alright? There seems to be a hospital nearby, why don't we go there to get checked out?"
Yun Yun finally calmed down. He turned to look at the culprit, took a deep breath and silently told himself, "This is my own sister, my own sister." But in the end, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Yun Zhi's cheek hard.
"It's time to go to the hospital, to the best brain hospital nearby, to see what's in your brain. Yunzhi, of all the people you've got your eye on, why are you eyeing Ye Chengyan? Wait, you said at the banquet today that you didn't care about Ye Chengyan. You're not just playing with your brother, are you?"
Yun Yun looked at Yun Zhi with suspicion.
"How could that be, brother? The main reason is that Ye Chengyan's mother is here today. You have no idea how infuriating Ye Chengyan's mother can be. Of course I wouldn't go out of my way to tell her that I've taken a liking to your son. Wait, brother, where were you at the banquet today? I didn't see you."
Although Yunzhi looked innocent, as if she had suddenly remembered this matter, the moment Yunyun appeared, she suspected that at today's banquet, whether it was Bai Weiwei's self-inflicted suffering, Yu Baisu and Ye Chengyan's inexplicable falling in love, or the waiter who frankly admitted to being her, all of them were related to her brother.
Some things are too coincidental to be true coincidences.
She had always felt that an invisible hand was connecting these people together, and if it was Yun Yun, then everything would be clear.
"Don't worry about me standing there. If you take a fancy to Ye Chengyan, I'll break your legs. What's so good about Ye Chengyan? He's not as good as Cheng Shuyan. If I had to choose between the two of them, I would definitely choose Cheng Shuyan. At least Cheng is a first-time husband, so you won't be an unfortunate stepmother if you marry him. He also doesn't have any ambiguous childhood sweethearts."
Yun Yun paused here, seemingly lost in thought.
"Whether Cheng Shuyan has a childhood sweetheart or not still needs to be investigated. No, neither of them will do. I've really been led astray by you, Zhizhi. Mom has always wanted you to marry Uncle James's youngest son because we know him well and I'm not afraid you'll be bullied. Uncle James's youngest son will also be coming back with Mom and Dad in a while. You even said you wanted to marry him when you were little, do you remember?"
What and what is this?
Yunzhi racked her brains and finally remembered Uncle James's youngest son. She couldn't recall where she had thought of him, but she hadn't seen him for several years. Even so, her mother still managed to play matchmaker.
As for the story about her saying she would marry him when she was a child, she denies it. That was all part of the past created by the system, and she had no involvement in it.
Yunzhi originally wanted to make Yunyun think that Cheng Shuyan was not bad by comparing him to Ye Chengyan, but who knew that it would also bring up another man.
"Brother, I wouldn't even remember this person if you hadn't mentioned it. Besides, why is my matter in such a hurry? I'm still so young, while you're almost thirty. Shouldn't Mom and Dad be worried about your marriage?"
After Yunzhi finished speaking, Yunyun pinched her cheek again.
She covered her face with both hands, glaring angrily at Yun Yun, looking like an angry pufferfish. Yun Yun was somewhat tempted but ultimately gave up.
“Don’t worry about my affairs. I know what I’m doing. Your parents brought him back this time not because they’ve decided he’s your future husband. First, because Uncle James’s family has been embroiled in a power struggle lately, they brought his youngest son back to avoid the storm. Second, they wanted you to meet him. If you’re not satisfied, no one can force you.”
Yun Yun looked at Yun Zhi as if she were a little fool. Perhaps it was because they had been apart for so long, but Yun Yun felt that Yun Zhi had changed a lot this time. She was more lively and energetic than before, which was probably one of the benefits of returning to China.
"Brother, have you guys thought about how the company's focus will shift back to China in the future? That means Mom and Dad might not be back in the US for a long time. If I marry Uncle James's youngest son, wouldn't I not see you for a very long time?"
Yunzhi's words froze Yunyun's expression. Clearly, he hadn't considered this. A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision in a second.
"In that case, this person won't do. Don't worry, I'll find you a husband you're satisfied with in China, but this person can't be Ye Chengyan."
As Yun Yun spoke, she kept a close eye on Yun Zhi's expression. When she saw Yun Zhi frown, she earnestly tried to persuade her.
"Ye Chengyan's mother is not easy to get along with, and Ye Chengyan himself is also not very clear-headed. His childhood sweetheart seems to live with him. The Ye family is not so poor that they only own one property."
Yun Yun paused here, seemingly pondering whether to be more tactful or more direct. In the end, she chose to be direct: only by removing the rotten flesh from the wound can new flesh grow quickly.
"If he really wanted to take care of his childhood sweetheart, he could have arranged for her to stay elsewhere, but he didn't. I know men too well. He just enjoys that kind of ambiguous relationship without a formal commitment. He has never refuted the various speculations people have about them. He has a terrible reputation when it comes to relationships. This kind of person is no good."
Yun Yun and Yun Zhi analyzed Ye Chengyan's character bit by bit.
Yunzhi was somewhat taken aback. It had taken her so many years, and even cost her two lives, to finally see Ye Chengyan's true colors. Yet Yunyun had only taken a short while to realize that Ye Chengyan was not a good man.
How much of a bias did she have against Ye Chengyan in her previous life that she believed his lies time and time again, and was hurt by him again and again?
Yunzhi gave a bitter smile to herself.
Seeing her younger sister's bad mood, Yun Yun's expression changed slightly. Could it be that her younger sister really liked Ye Chengyan that much?
Ye Chengyan is absolutely not a good match for her.
And... never mind, there's also Cheng Shuyan.
Under Yun Yun's various imaginings, he finally took the initiative to compromise.
“I think Cheng Shuyan is much better than Ye Chengyan. If I had to choose between the two of them, I would definitely choose Cheng Shuyan. And you saw what happened today, right? Ye Chengyan’s reputation in relationships is already ruined. Anyone who gets involved with him is doomed.”
Having achieved her goal, Yunzhi looked at Yunyun's wary expression and asked the question that Yunyun had been most curious about all day: "Brother, was the chaos at the Ji family's birthday banquet something you planned?"
