Thinking of this, Mu Xiaocheng tugged at Ji Huaishen's sleeve and tentatively asked, "Is Mu's father's matter related to the Zhou family?"
When Ji Huaishen heard her ask that, he frowned slightly, reached out, and pinched her cheek.
Don't make wild guesses.
Zhou Guangbo is more troublesome than Ji Hanmu. So far, no evidence has been found, and Ji Hanmu has not yet figured out Zhou Guangbo's background, so he dares not take any risks.
They dared not involve her either.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't quite believe him.
But she didn't ask any further, because she knew that Ji Huaishen was always thoughtful, meticulous, and considerate. He must have his reasons for not telling her.
However, she also saw through the Zhou family.
Whether it's Zhou Xinlan, Zhou Ningshuang, or even the seemingly idle Zhou Guangbo, none of them are easy to deal with.
The Zhou family appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it's a murky and filthy place.
Mu Xiaocheng pursed her lips, grasped Ji Huaishen's hand, and said in a suddenly assertive tone, "If anything happens, you must tell me immediately. I can help."
Although she looks petite, she's very strong.
And since they also know hand-to-hand combat and shooting, they can definitely be of help.
Ji Huaishen's lips curled into a beautiful arc, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by a loud male voice.
"We meet again, beautiful lady."
Zhou Qiteng walked slowly from the side, his hands in his pockets.
Mu Xiaocheng looked toward the source of the sound and saw Zhou Qiteng grinning at her.
That smile was radiant, and even had a childlike cuteness to it.
When Ji Huaishen saw Zhou Qiteng, his indifferent gaze suddenly turned sinister.
Zhou Qiteng completely ignored Ji Huaishen's aura and the low atmosphere around him, walked up to Mu Xiaocheng, bent down, and said with a roguish smile, "Miss, don't you think we're really destined to meet? We even managed to run into each other here."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..." It's normal to meet someone here, okay? You brain-dead kid.
She opened her mouth, about to speak, when she heard Ji Huaishen say, "Young Master Zhou, are your eyesight failing at such a young age? There are no young ladies for you here, so don't get in the way."
The last few words, spoken by Ji Huaishen, were unusually cold and chilling, causing Zhou Qiteng to shiver and instinctively take a step back.
Then, he returned to normal and laughed casually.
"Just kidding. I didn't expect Ji Huaishen to be so boring. Tsk tsk... Mrs. Ji must have a hard time being with you."
Even Mu Xiaocheng was stunned when she heard Zhou Qiteng say those words.
This young master of the Zhou family is truly fearless.
To openly provoke Ji Huaishen like this, and even say he's boring...
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her head and poked her own fingers.
Although Ji Huaishen can be quite boring at times, she doesn't find it tiring.
She didn't say that.
Ji Huaishen's expression was already quite unpleasant. His deep eyes were filled with frost, and his sharply defined face looked somewhat frightening.
The surrounding air pressure was even lower, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Those familiar with Ji Huaishen know that this Mr. Ji is angry.
Zhou Qiteng suddenly felt like he had said something wrong, but that's just his personality; even if he was wrong, he wasn't afraid.
After all, this is Zhou's territory, and Ji Huaishen can't do anything to him.
