“I know, Dad,” Li Peiwen said softly. “I’ll also personally visit and apologize to those who still have doubts about me. This is another good chance to interact with them.”
It was precisely because of these benefits that Li Peiwen understood what to do with just a hint from Yue Yu.
Yue Yu not only cared about how people outside were talking about her, but she also cared about her image in her family.
***
At this moment, Yue Lanchen was still chatting with Shi Jin at Orchid Pavilion.
!!
“I’m really sorry for involving you in this.”
“You’re not the one who did something wrong. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
“But she’s my sister. I have to apologize to you.” Yue Lanchen was very guilty. “Seriously, how can they treat you like this?”
He was halfway through when he received a call.
He took a while to return and said happily, “Sis, so these things were done by Li Peiwen. It has nothing to do with my biological sister. She only assisted her with some work. Li Peiwen explained everything clearly.”
Fu Xiuyuan, who was sitting by the side, glanced at Yue Lanchen.
Yue Lanchen felt a little irked by his gaze and said in a low voice, “Did I say something wrong?”
Shi Jin gently patted the back of Fu Xiuyuan’s hand and said to Yue Lanchen, “It’s good that Yue Yu didn’t do it.”
Yue Lanchen was still young, and Yue Yu was his biological sister. There was no need for Shi Jin to reveal everything too clearly.
Fu Xiuyuan had long retracted his gaze. Yue Lanchen relaxed. “Alright, I’ll go back first.”

Over the next two days, although it did not have much to do with Yue Yu in name, Yue Feng still personally dealt with quite a few things.
The batch of tea leaves in the tea factory had all been urgently destroyed. The flagship stores that had been booked previously could no longer be opened and could only be transferred at a low price.
Yue Yu and Li Peiwen each bore a portion of the losses. Overall, the losses were extremely heavy.
As for Qin Fanya, who had provided the formula, she was also informed of this matter. She was so frightened that she was trembling. Previously, she had known that there was a huge difference between her tea leaves and Shi Jin, but she had never thought that there would be such a huge problem.
Although no one continued to pursue her responsibility, she did not go out, afraid that she would cause unpredictable trouble.
It could be said that the Qin family’s defeat had long damaged her morale. She was no longer the high-spirited Young Miss from before.
She did not dare to continue making tea leaves and giving them as gifts.
***
After so much had happened, Shi Jin would always have some rich and powerful people in the capital asking if she could give them tea leaves, no matter the price.
Shi Jin rejected all of them. Her tea leaves were not mass-produced to begin with and were only given to her family.
In the living room of Orchid Pavilion, on the coffee table, Shi Jin was personally making tea. Yao Jiahong said, “There’s also a producer who is quite funny. He said that as long as you give him a box of tea leaves, he will help you film a movie. However, I rejected him directly.”
Hence, he received an appreciative look from Fu Xiuyuan.
Yao Jiahong was flattered.
Shi Jin poured the brewed tea into a small cup and handed one to Fu Xiuyuan.
Fu Xiuyuan took it and smiled. He looked at Shi Jin. Just this small action was filled with intimacy.
It made Yao Jiahong feel like a third wheel.
Shi Jin then handed a cup to Yao Jiahong.
Yao Jiahong immediately stood up and took it with both hands respectfully. The longer he worked with Shi Jin, the more respect he had for her.
Holding this cup of tea that was difficult to obtain in the entire Imperial Capital and even the entire S Nation, and it was even brewed by Shi Jin herself, one could imagine the weight.
Yao Jiahong took a sip, not daring to drink it all in one gulp.
Shi Jin smiled. “Brother Yao, there’s more. Drink it.”
Yao Jiahong raised his teacup. “I have to savor it.”
***
Shi Jin’s next job was a tourist variety show recording.
She was basically a top celebrity now. Many variety shows were proud of inviting her and placed all the attention on her.
Hence, when she did not have enough time, the variety shows were already very satisfied that they could invite her for one or two episodes.
The variety show this time was an empty period before Shi Jin filmed the next movie, so she could only record one or two episodes.
She had just gotten out of the car when she saw Yue Yu walking over.
Shi Jin stopped in her tracks.
“Shi Jin, I’m really sorry about the tea leaves. I didn’t expect Li Peiwen to cause such a mess. I came here today to apologize to you.”
Yue Yu’s tone was sincere.
“You should apologize to the people who drank the tea and are feeling unwell. There’s no need to apologize to me.”
“Shi Jin, I’m here to express my apology. If you think this is not enough, tell me what to do. I can do anything.”
How could Shi Jin not know that she had come to apologize now to give her family an explanation?
She did not need it, and Yue Yu was not sincere. If it was just acting, there was actually no need.
“Yue Yu, I think I’ve already made myself clear. Compared to wasting time with me, you should do better in other aspects.”
Yue Yu said softly, “I’ve already done all that. I still owe you.”
“You don’t have to think that way.” Shi Jin did not expose her.
“Shi Jin…” Yue Yu said, “Have you really not considered taking out your tea formula and mass-producing it? I know it might not be good to say this, but Li Peiwen and I have done a lot of market investigations previously and realized that high-end tea leaves are a huge market vacancy. Although there are people making high-end tea leaves now, the quality is actually far inferior to yours. If you’re willing, you don’t have to worry at all. We can do it. ”
She looked at Shi Jin sincerely.
In her opinion, Shi Jin’s formula was probably Gu Jingyuan’s. If Shi Jin took it out, it would be a profitable deal.
Yue Yu could also rely on this to salvage the situation.
Shi Jin looked at her in amusement. It turned out that her apology today was a lie. She wanted the formula for the tea leaves. That was her true intention.
Shi Jin had seen how magnanimous Yue Lanchen was. This was the first time she realized that someone from the Yue family was really not worthy of the surname Yue.
She raised her eyebrows and an ambiguous smile appeared on her lips. “My tea leaves can’t be mass-produced. Furthermore, I’m not at ease with you and Li Peiwen doing things.”
“Shi Jin!” Yue Yu softened her tone. “Think about our relationship. Would I lie to you? If you don’t like Li Peiwen, I won’t continue to work with her in the future.”
