The moment Shen Hualan called out my name, everyone in the hall looked at my face.

At that time, Zhou Pinzhi hadn't even had the chance to introduce Jiang Yin to everyone. Shen Hualan's behavior made me the center of attention, making my already nervous heart even more tense.

"Miss Meng is here too?" Old Madam Zhou's gaze passed over Jiang Yin and turned to my face. Her eyebrows moved slightly, revealing a little surprise.

I haven't seen Old Madam Zhou since Shen Hualan's birthday party. She is still as energetic as before, majestic without being angry, sitting there, exuding the demeanor of a patriarch. She speaks to me politely and kindly, but when I meet those cold and indifferent eyes, I still feel a sudden increase in pressure.

"Yes, madam, I am here today to accompany Miss Jiang." I explained with a smile despite the pressure.

"Xuxu is a very good sister of mine, so I invited her to come to my house as a guest." Jiang Yin also quickly explained.

Madam Zhou seemed to have a good impression of Jiang Yin. As soon as Jiang Yin opened her mouth, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes: "I didn't expect that Miss Jiang and Miss Meng are good sisters. Come, come and sit down."

"Yes, it's all fate. Ayin said that she and Manager Meng were good friends in college. Oh, yes, Ayin and her cousin are in the same department, and they are all friends." Zhou Pinzhi has focused all his attention on Jiang Yin from the beginning until now. He only spoke at this moment and carefully arranged for Jiang Yin to sit down and talk.

In fact, he only needed to simply follow Jiang Yin's words and say that Jiang Yin and I were good friends, but Zhou Pinzhi insisted on telling the story in great detail, even bringing up the fact that Jiang Yin and I were college alumni, and even mentioned Zhou Hanzhi.

Have you said too much?

I frowned secretly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention that Zhou Hanzhi and I had an unpleasant experience last night. I drank to drown my sorrows, which only made me even more sorrowful. My head is still a little fuzzy now, and I really don’t want to hear that person’s name.

Take the fact that Jiang Yin confessed her love to Zhou Hanzhi during college. Zhou Pinzhi must have known about it. Now that he mentioned that Jiang Yin and Zhou Hanzhi were in the same department in college, wasn't he afraid that Jiang Yin would be embarrassed?

Was Zhou Pinzhi so happy today that he lost his most advantageous emotional intelligence?

However, Zhou Pinzhi's next sentence made me feel that he was even more confused.

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, looked at Shen Hualan and asked, "By the way, Auntie, why didn't my cousin come back? Today is the weekend, he shouldn't be busy with work, right?"

"He..." Shen Hualan did not expect Zhou Pinzhi to ask her this question. She was unable to react for a moment and was speechless.

My heart tightened and alarm bells rang in my mind. The news of Zhou Hanzhi's illness must not be known to Zhou Pinzhi, let alone other people in the Zhou family!

His illness is unusual.

Besides, the cousins ​​Zhou Hanzhi and Zhou Pinzhi are currently in fierce competition. As the candidate for the heir of the Zhou family, the first condition should be a good body and plenty of energy. If Old Madam Zhou knew that Zhou Hanzhi had such a disease, Zhou Hanzhi's competitiveness would be greatly weakened. I think this is why Zhou Hanzhi concealed the news of his illness this time and only let Zeng Zhi take care of him.

He didn't want anyone to know that he was sick, and he didn't want to let the Zhou family know, because he was afraid that the news would be used by someone with ulterior motives.

In just two years, Zhou Hanzhi was able to stand in his current position in such a short time. He must have put in a lot of effort and experienced a lot of hardships. If he lost, all these efforts would be wasted, and all the suffering would be in vain. His hard work would become someone else's wedding dress.

Can't let him lose.

In a hurry, I coughed lightly: "Mr. Zhou seems to be on a business trip."

From the time I spoke until now, I have been trying to reduce my presence, remain silent and cautious, but when I opened my mouth at this moment, I attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Oh, yes, Hanzhi did tell me that he is out of town these days and can't come back for the time being." Shen Hualan's reaction was not slow. She explained with a smile, then looked at me deeply.

Old Madam Zhou frowned slightly, her indifferent eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't look at Shen Hualan, but instead turned her gaze to me.

Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate me, seeing through the secrets and thoughts in my heart: "How did Miss Meng know that Han Zhi was on a business trip?"

"Mr. Zhou's girlfriend Lin Xixi works in our company. I knew about Mr. Zhou because I overheard her mention him." I smiled sweetly, trying my best to look relaxed and natural.

"Isn't this the news my cousin gave you alone?" Zhou Pinzhi suddenly said again.

My heart shuddered and I turned to look. Zhou Pinzhi's smile was as gentle and friendly as usual, without the hostility I had imagined. But his question was so sharp that I felt he did it on purpose.

I remained calm: "Of course not. Mr. Zhou and I are just working partners. Apart from work contact, we have no private contact at all. I learned about his affairs from Miss Lin."

"Manager Meng has a pretty good relationship with my cousin's new girlfriend. He's really broad-minded." Zhou Pinzhi smiled.

I'm sure he did it on purpose.

He saw that I helped Shen Hualan out of the predicament and gave her a reminder, and he became dissatisfied with me, so he deliberately made trouble here.

Perhaps, his EQ was not low today. He did it on purpose. He mentioned Zhou Hanzhi on purpose and urged Shen Hualan to let Zhou Hanzhi return to the Zhou family's old house.

I had only been reminded by Zhou Hanzhi before, and I had also made my own rational judgment that this person was not ordinary and would not be as simple as he seemed on the surface, but it was not until this moment that I intuitively felt the danger of Zhou Pinzhi.

"Yes, I have a pretty good relationship with Manager Lin. After all, I am her senior, and we live in the same community and are neighbors. Manager Lin even invited me to have dinner with the couple, and we had a great time." I responded with ease.

I didn't say anything nonsense. Lin Xixi did invite me and Zhou Hanzhi to have dinner together. We were quite happy during the meal, but I was unhappy after the meal because she drugged my wine glass. I made a mistake and slept with Zhou Hanzhi by accident...

However, after I finished saying these words, Mrs. Zhou frowned tightly and looked worried.

At this moment, I suddenly woke up. Madam Zhou should look down on Lin Xixi, but I kept mentioning Lin Xixi at this time, which made her unhappy.

"Hanzhi doesn't have a girlfriend. Lin Xixi is just his junior schoolmate. Besides, I don't like that little girl. Today we are here to help Pinzhi find a future wife. Let's not talk about those things that will spoil the fun." Shen Hualan suddenly spoke at this time, changing the subject with a smile.
