Zheng Jue looked at his smiling face and couldn’t help feeling a little aggrieved. He thought in his heart, where did you two come from? You were the only one I made an appointment with.

But it’s not really good to say it clearly, so he just curled up the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile, “I really made Young Master Zhou laugh. Indeed, I do have something to ask Young Master Zhou.”

Zhou Chengan’s expression changed and turned to look a little more interested, “Mr. Zheng is very polite, we’re all friends. If you have anything to say, then let’s discuss it.”

Zheng Jue felt awkward as he now saw clearly. Zhou Chengan was a pimp here. Otherwise, how can someone who can do such a thing treat him as his friend? He’s probably just a stakeholder(1) for him.

“Actually, it’s just a coincidence. I met a young lady named Lin Ai a few days ago. I heard that she seems to have a very close relationship with Young Master Zhou’s cousin. I wonder if it’s true?”

Zheng Jue spoke ambiguously, but Zhou Chengan’s expression sank already, “Lin Ai?” Zhou Chengan glanced at Zheng Jue suspiciously, “How did Mr. Zheng come to know Lin Ai?”

Seeing him reacting so much, Zheng Jue knew that there was a lot going on here. Therefore, he also smiled, “Oh, she seems to be Lin Su’s younger sister. There was a lot of trouble with Lin Su a few days ago. She came to beg me to help Lin Su.”

When Zheng Jue said these words, Zhou Chengan hadn’t said any response yet, but Han Jin already sneered first, “Mr. Zheng is so sympathetic on cherishing jades. Do you need someone else to ask for this kind of thing?”

Zheng Jue was stunned by his sneer, so he could only say, “Young Master Han is joking.”

Han Jin curled his lips into a smile, but there was a coldness in the corners of his eyes and brows. There was a cold aura on his originally delicate and handsome face. He stared at Zheng Jue but didn’t say a word more.

Zhou Chengan saw that Han Jin was in a bad mood, so he didn’t dare to say more. However, at the same time, he wanted to remind Zheng Jue, so he could only say, “Lin Ai is not simple. She and Lin Su are sisters. Mr. Zheng, I advise you to stay away from her.”

Zheng Jue squinted his eyes after hearing this. Now that Zhou Chengan himself had warned him about her. It seems that this Lin Ai was indeed not simple.

“Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Zhou. I will pay attention,” Zheng Jue’s smile remained the same, but a coldness flashed in his eyes. Zhou Chengan really knew that Zhou Chengyuan had bad luck in his last life, so wasn’t it Zhou Chengan who got the benefit?

Han Jin glanced at Zheng Jue, and the indifference in his eyes was finally reduced a bit. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, “What do you think about what I said last time?”
