Mr. Zhong was stunned when he saw the visitor, and took out four teacups and filled them one by one.
"Jing family, how come you have time to come to my mansion?"
The two families didn't have much contact, and the Zhong family even lost contact after they faded out of sight. Now a sudden visit naturally aroused Mr. Zhong's suspicion.
Plus they are here to find Zhong Li...
Mr. Zhong narrowed his eyes, a cold light looming inside them.
Zhong Li raised his eyes and looked at the two people sitting opposite.
She had heard of the Jing family, but she accidentally provoked them.
The other party doesn't know her identity, why should she be so kind to her?
In the corner, the white cat used the furniture to cover its body, and from time to time poked its head out to look curiously at the uninvited guest.
Mr. Zhong picked up the tea cup and the two of them took it with both hands.
Jing Yuchen took a sip and nodded appreciatively.
"When I was young, I heard that Grandpa Zhong was very accomplished in tea ceremony. Today I am lucky enough to taste it. It is true."
Mr. Zhong has long seen through this trick.
"Don't get too close to me, I can't stand it."
He leaned back and straightened his posture.
"I wonder why you two are looking for my grandson?"
It seemed polite, but the atmosphere gradually became weird.
Jing Yuchen put down the teacup, his flawless handsome face revealed a picturesque smile.
"I wanted to avoid trouble and get back the umbrella I lent to Master Zhong, but I accidentally entered the Zhong family's mansion. I'm really sorry."
umbrella?
Mr. Zhong turned to look at Zhong Li and asked warmly: "Are they the friends you just mentioned?"
The two people sitting side by side on the sofa were surprised when they heard the word "friend".
Even people who have no sense of crisis will not treat someone they just met as a friend.
Jing Qingye was naturally surprised by this sudden identity.
As for Jing Yuchen, Xinghe's bright eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he wanted to see through people.
I just lied about the relationship to avoid worrying the old man.
The Jing family is huge and has many branches. Once involved, there is no possibility of escape. The old man definitely doesn't want her to be in danger.
Unexpectedly, these two people followed him.
Zhong Li was silent. The old man didn't ask any more questions and asked her to go back to her room to rest first.
The ragdoll cat hiding behind the stairs followed suit.
Hearing the sound of the door closing upstairs, Mr. Zhong looked at the two of them and said righteously:
"I don't know how you met my grandson, and I don't care. I hope you two can get along well with my grandson..."
Jing Yuchen and the others did not expect this reaction.
After Zhong Li was diagnosed, she sealed her heart away and never made friends again in the following years.
He still remembers what he said at that time——
"I do not have friends."
"They are just using me by being friends with me."
"I regard them as friends, but all they care about is my family background."
"..."
She was only eight years old at that time.
He thought Zhong Li would never make friends again, until today...
Mr. Zhong was silent for a long time, looking slightly sad.
"But I also want to remind you two that our Zhong family has been silent for many years and we don't want to get involved in any more disputes. I hope you will pay attention to your discretion."
Zhong Li gave them the identity of his friend, so he chose to believe it.
The Jing family has a great business, and there is nothing that the Zhong family needs to help with.
But it's too complicated internally, so it's better to be careful.
Jing Yuchen lowered his eyes, as if thinking, and then the corners of his lips raised.
"Mr. Zhong doesn't have to be like this. We just want to make friends with Mr. Zhong."
It is said that the young master of the Zhong family has been plagued by illness since childhood. Looking at it today, the rumors seem to be untrue.
He behaves in a low-key manner, but he has raised many people in private.
