After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 383 We can't afford to offend the Fu family too.

Fu Sizhou's action completely surprised everyone, and the flashbulbs started flashing again.

Fu Sizhou quickly released Fu Shaochen, grabbed the other's wrist with one hand, patted his shoulder with the other, and stroked Fu Shaochen as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

"Where have you been? Why haven't you come home? Do you know how worried your grandparents are about you?"

His words made it sound as if Fu Shaochen was a rebellious teenager who had run away from home, while Fu Sizhou himself was the older brother who cared for his younger brother.

Fu Shao Chen remained noncommittal to Fu Si Zhou's overly intimate actions, a cold smile playing on his lips, but he deliberately concealed a hint of timidity within it, "Is that so? I thought my brother didn't want to see me."

Fu Sizhou's affectionate behavior is definitely suspicious. Rather than genuinely caring about his health, he's probably checking if he's carrying a listening device.

When he hugged me just now, his hand went straight to my lower back; wasn't that him checking for cables?

It wasn't time to use these instruments yet, so Fu Shaochen let the other party examine him.

Moreover, it was Fu Sizhou who personally kicked him out of the family back then, so why is he now playing the role of a model brother?

Does this mean they've changed their approach to themselves?

Even so, Fu Shaochen didn't mind playing along with the other party and continuing to play the role of this rebellious teenager.

"How could that be?" Fu Sizhou said with a kind smile, "You have no idea how much your family misses you... You went out there all by yourself and suffered so much..."

He said a few words of concern about Fu Shao Chen's health, and then asked, "Who did you come with?"

Fu Shaochen gave a look like a kid caught by his parents going to the arcade instead of going home after school, and obediently said, "It was President Ye who asked Little President Ye to bring me here."

Fu Sizhou clearly hadn't expected this answer, but he quickly followed up, "Why are you sitting here? Come over here to your brother."

As he spoke, Fu Sizhou grabbed Fu Shaochen's wrist without giving him a chance to explain, and tried to lead him to his seat.

Fu Shaochen did not resist. He gave Cheng Yanye a "good luck" look and went along with Fu Sizhou.

As Fu Sizhou and Lu Mingye passed each other, they exchanged a very complicated look.

Lu Mingye gestured to the staff who were following him to add seats, then cleared his throat, "It seems... it's not just our Lu family that has a happy occasion today."

Lu Wangqian was stunned. "Just like that... just let him go?"

He still wanted to settle accounts with Fu Shao-chen for being frightened.

And what does it mean that President Ye sent him?

Fu Shaochen, what exactly is your relationship with Ye Yifan?

Lu Wangqian wished he could catch up with him and ask him the truth.

"Otherwise? Big brother, are you going to go against Fu Sizhou?" Lu Mingye leaned close to his ear, seemingly intimately, and said, "You've offended so many people tonight. Do you know how much mess you've made for me to clean up? I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you, but you can't offend the Fu family too. For the sake of still calling you big brother, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

Lu Mingye's hypocritical intimacy was practically a carbon copy of Fu Sizhou's, making Lu Wangqian feel utterly disgusted.

But Lu Mingye was right. Whether Fu Sizhou took care of Fu Shaochen or not was a different approach. So Lu Wangqian had no choice but to suppress his frustration once again.

“Also, Mr. Cheng…” Lu Mingye lowered his eyelids and glanced at Cheng Yanye, who was clearly stunned by the beating.

Lu Mingye will not apologize to Cheng Yanye. In principle, Lu Wangqian did not do anything wrong. The fact that he was not expelled from the venue is already out of consideration for the Ye family who brought him.

It's one thing for Ye Sanqing and his group to disrespect the Lu family, but who does Cheng Yanye think he is to do the same?

Even knowing that Cheng Yanye might be acting on the orders of the Ye family, Lu Mingye still had to make his stance clear.

Even if Ye Wanyin wasn't on the family register, there were plenty of women in the Lu family who weren't on the register, and not just anyone could take liberties with them.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen from mainland China, could you please listen to me?"

Lu Mingye was thinking of at least taking the man to the infirmary to confirm whether the Ye family regarded Cheng Yanye as a pawn or a tool before deciding how to deal with him.

On the other side of the table, someone got up and sat in the empty seat that Fu Shaochen had left, and helped Cheng Yanye up.

"You are..." Lu Mingye couldn't find any information about this unfamiliar face, but since he was sitting here, his status couldn't be too low.

"My name is Yuan Jiadong. It's an honor to meet Young Master Lu! And an honor to attend President Lu's wedding!"

What just happened made Yuan Jiadong exclaim in his heart, "Wonderful!"

He had already mentally drafted tabloid headlines like "The Shipping Magnate Returns? Ghost Ships Reappear on Earth!", "The Current Shipping Magnate's Battle Against the Ghosts of the Past!", "Secrets of the Shipping Magnate Family: Orthopedics or a Substitute?", and "Breaking News! The Third Young Master of the Lu Family and the Helmsman of the Fu Family Wear Matching Outfits."

However, he still wore his signature warm yet businesslike smile and said, "Mr. Ye asked me to take care of this brother, Third Young Master... Could I accompany him for some treatment, for Mr. Ye's sake?"

"Yes, yes, Young Master Lu, please let him go." Ning Leyi chimed in from the side.

Ning Xiuyuan was on the sidelines, so it wasn't convenient for him to directly take sides, but he could still offer his support.

The buzzing in Cheng Yanye's head finally subsided a bit, and he looked up and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect President Lu, it's just... I couldn't control myself for a moment."

His words were quite subtle; besides saving face for Lu Wangqian, they also conveyed to Ye Wanyin that "seeing her would uncontrollably remind him of the past."

Since Yuan Jiadong and Ning Leyi had mediated and Cheng Yanye had apologized, Lu Mingye nodded and agreed to the solution.

Most importantly, Yuan Jiadong made it clear that the Ye family had expressed their attitude. Since the Ye family had entrusted someone to take care of Cheng Yanye, Lu Mingye obviously couldn't deal with him now.

Then both of them followed his opinion and spoke to him, which greatly pleased Lu Mingye.

Yuan Jiadong helped Cheng Yanye up, and Zhou Jiawen also came over from the assistant area to help. Together with Yuan Jiadong, they helped Cheng Yanye out.

As Cheng Yanye left, he passed Hua Duoduo behind Ye Wanyin. He heard a faint "I'm sorry" in his ear, so faint that he thought he was hallucinating from being knocked unconscious.

But he didn't have time to delve into it now, and simply nodded slightly in response.

Hua Duoduo didn't know why she was apologizing. She hadn't felt any remorse for forcing Cheng Yanye to drink, but for some inexplicable reason, seeing his miserable state suddenly made her realize that she had done something wrong.

"Is this my sister's new assistant? She really has a lot of different tastes." Ye Wanyin muttered to herself, watching Zhou Jiawen's retreating figure.

The Lu family doesn't have much involvement in the entertainment industry, so it's normal that neither of them knew Yuan Jiadong. However, Yuan Jiadong had appeared at Ye Sanqing's birthday party before, and Ye Wanyin did some research on him after seeing the group photo.

Although Yuan Jiadong was very low-key, Ye Wanyin still found some clues and concluded that he was a well-hidden second-generation member of the Cantonese entertainment circle.

I didn't expect Yuen Ka-tung to be so kind. Well, it's worth getting in touch with him, since he probably has a lot of entertainment resources.

But where did Zhou Jiawen come from?

Since he came from the assistant area, he must be an assistant, but his Tang suit exuded a powerful aura. Even Ye Wanyin could sense the seasoned presence emanating from him.

Ye Wanyin was definitely trying to create rumors that Ye Sanqing had ambiguous relationships with all men, so her words were full of hints.

However, neither Lu Mingye nor Lu Wangqian responded.

Because Ye Wanyin has more than one older sister, and Lu Wangqian was still thinking about the relationship between Fu Shaochen and Ye Yifan, now that another man has appeared, he has to think even more about this possibility.

Therefore, Lu Wangqian overlooked Zhou Jiawen's obvious mercenary aura, but Lu Mingye noticed it.

The Ye family is… Lu Mingye frowned, realizing he needed to adjust his expectations of the Ye family.
