Chapter 349 Kan

I had guessed long ago that after Zhou Hanzhi helped me out, it would definitely cause misunderstandings between Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin.

Sure enough, Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin teased us together.

For a moment, I just felt embarrassed and regretted that I didn't eat the fish directly.

But Zhou Hanzhi was very calm. He put the piece of fish into his mouth and ate it slowly. Then he looked at Zhou Pinzhi who was smiling beside him: "Pinzhi, if it weren't for me, your kindness would have been wasted. I'm helping you save your reputation, why are you teasing me on purpose?"

With just one sentence, the smile on Zhou Pinzhi's face disappeared.

Zhou Hanzhi's gaze turned to Jiang Yin, who immediately coughed and changed the subject: "It turns out Xuxu is allergic to coriander. I've remembered this. I will definitely pay attention to this when I invite Xuxu to dinner next time. Fortunately, we have squirrel mandarin fish here. Xuxu, try it."

Zhou Pinzhi on the other side also looked a little embarrassed, but Jiang Yin's words helped him find a topic. He looked at me apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Manager Meng. I didn't know you were allergic to coriander, and I didn't ask you when I ordered. It was my mistake."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, don't take it to heart." I took the squirrel mandarin fish that Jiang Yin handed over to me, and gave Zhou Pinzhi a comforting smile.

A harmonious atmosphere was restored at the dinner table.

The storm just passed, and none of us gave excessive explanations. However, in the following dinners, Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin no longer misunderstood the relationship between Zhou Hanzhi and me.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when we finished eating. The boat gradually approached the shore. Just as we were about to leave, Jiang Yin asked me, "Xu Xu, where do you live now? Did you take a taxi here?"

"No, I drove here by myself." I answered her, and then asked, "What about you?"

I remember Jiang Yin's family is from Beijing and Hong Kong.

But she said: "I just returned to China and didn't want to live in the constraints of home, so I rented a house outside, near the university town."

"You also live near the university town?" I was very surprised to hear that.

Her eyes lit up: "Yeah? Xuxu, do you live there too? That's great, can I take a ride with you? I just happen to have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

"It's my honor to serve a beautiful lady. Of course I can." I smiled and took her arm, agreeing readily.

Zhou Pinzhi showed a look of disappointment on his face: "Manager Meng has taken away my chance to show my courtesy to Miss Jiang."

"I can't help it. Jiang Yin and I have a deeper bond." I can joke around with Zhou Pinzhi now, but I quickly comfort him again, "But Jiang Yin will soon join Rong Yu, and you will be together day and night soon. Manager Zhou will have many opportunities to send beautiful women home in the future."

Zhou Pinzhi laughed immediately, but Zhou Hanzhi on the side glanced at me silently. I inadvertently received his gaze and felt that there was a warning in his dark eyes.

What was he trying to warn me about?

I immediately realized that I had said something wrong.

Zhou Hanzhi only agreed to talk to Jiang Yin privately about guiding her, but he did not agree to let Jiang Yin join Rong Yu. He was warning me not to make promises on his behalf.

I quickly shut my mouth and gave him an apologetic look.

After getting ashore, we said goodbye to each other. After Jiang Yin got into my car, a lot of problems really arose.

For example, I liked Zhou Hanzhi so much at the beginning, how could I bear to part with him?

For example, I have loved Zhou Hanzhi for so many years, and now I have to watch Zhou Hanzhi find a new love. Will I be willing to accept it?

For example, if Zhou Hanzhi still has feelings for me, will I still give him a chance to get back together?

"Jiang Yin, we are not only friends but also schoolmates. You know how I felt about Zhou Hanzhi. The fact that we broke up means something irreversible must have happened. Since it is irreversible, it is impossible to get back together." I have been driving, letting Jiang Yin ask a series of questions like the pea shooter in Plants vs. Zombies. Finally, she slowly answered, "I have let go of Zhou Hanzhi. Now he is single or has found someone else. It is irrelevant to me. My emotions are not fluctuating, and I am not unwilling to accept it."

I said this with a smile.

But my hands holding the steering wheel unconsciously exerted force, and my palms felt numb.

I still need to try hard like this to suppress my surging emotions.

But Jiang Yin quickly asked again: "So what irreversible thing happened between you two?"

The emotions that I had barely suppressed instantly got out of control when she asked this question.

What happened two years ago?

A murder has occurred!

My grandma lying in a pool of blood, my wrists covered with cuts, the smell of disinfectant in the hospital that lingered for a long time...

For two years, I went back and forth between hatred and suicidal urges.

How did I get through it?

"Xuxu, be careful!" I heard Jiang Yin's scream. I suddenly came to my senses, noticed the red light in front of me, and stepped on the brakes.

The tires made a sharp sound as they rubbed against the ground, and cold sweat broke out on my back.

I was distracted and almost ran a red light.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" I slowly turned my head and looked at Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin also looked frightened, but she tried to comfort me: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have asked you these questions. Did they remind you of your sad memories?"

"It's okay." I shook my head and changed the subject. "By the way, don't just ask about my business. Tell me about yourself. What's going on between you and Zhou Pinzhi? When did you meet? How did you meet? I see he's almost become your loyal dog."

To put it nicely, he is a loyal dog, to put it bluntly, he is a bootlicker. I am not exaggerating, it is just that Zhou Pinzhi's behavior was too obvious. Jiang Yin was so cold to him, but he still tried to get close to her.

Jiang Yin frowned as soon as I mentioned Zhou Pinzhi: "He, don't mention him, Xuxu, do you know why I ran away from home and would rather rent a house and take a taxi than accept the house and car given by my family?"

When I heard this, I immediately became alert: "Why is that?"

Judging from Jiang Yin's words, the reason why she ran away from home is related to Zhou Pinzhi?

"It's because of Zhou Pinzhi." Jiang Yin looked worried. "He and I went on a blind date some time ago. Actually, I didn't have any feelings for him at all, but he was interested in me. My family put pressure on me to date him, and I couldn't stand it, so I left home to get some peace and quiet."

It turns out that Jiang Yin and Zhou Pinzhi are in a blind date relationship.

No wonder. When I was in college, I knew that Jiang Yin was not only a beauty, but also a daughter of a wealthy family. Since they were both wealthy families in Beijing and Hong Kong, they would indeed be put together for blind dates.

However, I thought of one thing, my brows furrowed, and a feeling of confusion and doubt surged in my heart.
