Zhou Sui surrendered with both hands up, “Then pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Emotionally, he was ultimately an outsider, and he had said all that he should say. How to choose was Qin Zhen’s own decision. He just hoped that he would not regret it.

Qin Zhen drank for a while before realizing Han Xu was not around. “Where is

Han xu?”

“He left, with a gloomy face as if someone owed him money. Many people are afraid of him. He left just now because Ling Bing’er wasn’t feeling well, so we asked him to take her home.” Since the female lead today is also from Ling Bing’er’s school, they decided to have some fun and invited her along.

Qin Zhen understood without further inquiry and continued drinking.

Meanwhile, Ling Binger got into Han Xu’s car. She was a bit scared of him too, but basic communication was not a problem. “Big brother Han Xu, can you please drop me off?”

Han Xu’s voice was cold, “Okay.”

Ling Bing’er was speechless. She tried to find a topic, “My brother said you’ve finally received some news about that person you’ve been looking for?”

Han Xu’s gaze grew colder, “What’s it to you?”

Ling Bing’er did not know what to say.

The car fell into complete silence. When they passed by a hospital, Ling Bing’er suddenly spoke up, “Stop the car!”

Han Xu sighed impatiently, “What now?”

Ling Bing’er, ignoring her fear, smiled a bit strangely, “I’ve just spotted an acquaintance.”

Outside the car window, they saw Tong Jia carrying a bag of nursing pads, heading towards the hospital.

Han Xu also saw her. Wasn’t she the weird woman they met on the roadside last time?

Tong Jia felt the burning gaze from behind and subconsciously turned to look.

In the dark night, she could not see the person inside the car clearly, but Han Xu could see her perfectly. He only then noticed her eyes! Her eyes were exactly the same as his Wanzhe’s! How could there be someone so alike?

While he was still thinking, Tong Jia accidentally bumped into someone. She instantly kept apologizing, behaving excessively.

It seems that the person was also startled by her extreme reaction and quickly said ‘it’s fine’, fearing he had encountered a lunatic. Then, he hurriedly left.

Han Xu’s initial speculation dissipated instantly. His Wanzhe was a confident and powerful woman, and feelings of inferiority could never exist in her. He averted his gaze and asked, “Do you know her?”

Ling Bing’er was about to get off the car to settle the score with Tong Jia, but upon hearing Han Xu’s question, she paused. It would not look good for Han Xu to see her bullying someone. After all, the Ling family also had a reputation to uphold.

“Yes, I know her. She is Shen Qingyue’s employee. Yesterday, I accidentally bumped into her on the road, and she went berserk, attacking me…” As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the bite marks left by Tong Jia the previous night.

Han Xu’s face remained impassive. After a while, he said, “Do you want me to help you vent your anger?”

He was not a fool; he could naturally tell that Ling Bing’er was lying. He knew her personality well, did she think he was unaware? However, what did it have to do with him? People with their social status and positions could target anyone they wished. Besides, he had been trying to find Tong Wanzhe several times recently, but she had always been unavailable, leaving him frustrated and wanting to vent his emotions.

Upon hearing this, Ling Bing’er felt delighted. Han Xu was someone with connections in both the surface and the underworld, ruthless in his methods. If he took action, Tong Jia was as good as dead! She could not help but smile and said, “Thank you, Brother Han Xu.”

As Shen Qingyue could not find a suitable gift, she contacted an auction house and went there to have a look. Since Shen Jun liked antiques, they were familiar with the staff at the auction house.

The auction house’s manager personally came to greet her.

Shen Qingyue wandered around but still didn’t find anything she liked.

The manager asked, “Are you not satisfied with any of these?”

Putting down a bronze ritual vessel, Shen Qingyue said, “Hmm, I just feel like they lack sincerity…”

“In that case, why don’t you try making a handmade ceramic piece yourself?”

The manager suggested, but then realized someone like Shen Qingyue

probably would not want to go through the trouble.

To his surprise, Shen Qingyue’s eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea! Thank you.” The manager said, “You’re welcome. Would you like to continue looking?”

“No, I’ll go back first.”

“I’ll escort you.”

As Shen Qingyue was leaving, she saw familiar faces, seemingly just coming out after viewing the auction items.

“Grandpa, a vase costs millions! Are they robbing people?”

It was Shen Qingxue and Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang said, “Indeed, it’s expensive. But those priced at tens of thousands are not worth it either.”

Shen Qingxue sneered, “You are just too kind-hearted, always considering brotherly affection. Do you think they care about you? Look at Shen Qingyue’s attitude when we asked granduncle for money last time! They shouldn’t expect us to give them anything at all..”
