The woman wore a long black cotton coat, with her cascade of golden blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her exquisitely made-up face looked as stunning and out of the ordinary as a peach blossom!

Beside the woman was a young man, clad in a black trench coat. He was tall and fair-skinned, certainly fitting the aesthetic preferences of most women today, definitely a "little fresh meat."

Upon seeing this woman, both Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi furrowed their brows in unison, but then immediately relaxed.

This man and woman were known to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, yet they were far from familiar.

Moreover, their first encounter was quite disharmonious.

Because these two were Jin Zhengru and Pu Junxi!

Back when Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi were flying back from Dongnan City to Jiangzhong City, they ran into the two of them. Jin Zhengru had taken a liking to the icy bean in Qiu Ruoxi's hand, wanting to buy it, but was refused by Qiu Ruoxi, and Pu Junxi, trying to make a stand in front of the beauty, was taught a lesson by Ye Xunhuan.

Afterwards, Jin Zhengru discussed cooperation with Qiu Ruoxi, but since then they hadn't met again, so who would've thought they'd run into each other here.

Instantly, Jin Zhengru and Pu Junxi walked up to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.

Jin Zhengru looked at Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi with a sparkling smile, "Miss Qiu and Mr. Ye are also here for the business summit, I presume?"

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face, let alone now when there's cooperation involved. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qiu Ruoxi nodded symbolically as if in work mode, "I suppose Miss Jin is here for the same reason, isn't she?"

"Yes!" Jin Zhengru admitted frankly, "I just didn't expect to run into Miss Qiu and Mr. Ye here. Using a saying from your Huaxia, can we count this as meeting an old acquaintance in a distant land?"

"Sort of!"

"I wonder if Miss Qiu and Mr. Ye mind me sitting here?"

Jin Zhengru maintained a deep smile on her face throughout, giving off a warm and welcoming feeling.

"I mind!" Ye Xunhuan immediately responded, "There are so many seats, why squeeze with us!"

Just as Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, Pu Junxi was immediately displeased, and with a cold face, said to Ye Xunhuan, "Xiao Ru is showing you face by sitting with you..."

"We don't need her to show face!"

"You..."

At this moment, Jin Zhengru suddenly turned her head and glared at Pu Junxi, coldly saying, "Shut your mouth!"

Being glared at by Jin Zhengru like this, Pu Junxi resentfully snorted but said nothing more.

Seeing Pu Junxi wisely shut his mouth, Jin Zhengru slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Ye Xunhuan, softly laughing, "Mr. Ye, I apologize. If Junxi offended you in any way, I apologize on his behalf!"

"Xiao Ru, they were the ones who were rude first, you..."

"Pu Junxi!" Jin Zhengru suddenly turned head, her smile freezing in that moment, "If you speak one more time, get out!"

Looking at Jin Zhengru's frosty face, although Pu Junxi was resentful, he didn't say anything further, but the look he gave Ye Xunhuan was full of animosity.

Clearly, Pu Junxi now hated Ye Xunhuan.

Or perhaps Pu Junxi already hated Ye Xunhuan, in any case, this wasn't the first time Ye Xunhuan made him lose face.

Nor was it the first time Jin Zhengru scolded him this way.

Moments later, Jin Zhengru turned again to Ye Xunhuan, saying, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry!"

"It's nothing, I generally don't bother with mad dogs!" Ye Xunhuan replied generously.

For some reason, facing Jin Zhengru, Ye Xunhuan felt uncomfortable all over, as if this woman was dangerous, but he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

However, Ye Xunhuan trusted his intuition would not be wrong.

After all, Ye Xunhuan crawled out from a pile of corpses; his sense of danger far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Thus, Ye Xunhuan had no goodwill in dealing with Jin Zhengru and Pu Junxi.

After hearing Ye Xunhuan call him a dog, Pu Junxi's face instantly turned incredibly dark, "Ye Xunhuan, you..."

Pu Junxi had just started to speak when Jin Zhengru suddenly turned with a sharp voice, "Pu Junxi, are you taking my words as wind breezing past your ears?"

"Xiao Ru, he..."

"I'm telling you for the last time, if you dare speak one more word, get out!" Jin Zhengru said with a gloomy face.

Pu Junxi knew the kind of person Jin Zhengru was, clear in his mind that Jin Zhengru was truly angry, he dared not speak further, though he looked at Ye Xunhuan with animosity.

"Mr. Ye, I apologize!" Jin Zhengru said to Ye Xunhuan with full sincerity, "If there was any offense, I hope you can be magnanimous!"

Ye Xunhuan glanced at Jin Zhengru, speaking in a light tone, "If you want me to be magnanimous, I think you should start by making him leave, then maybe I'll feel a bit better!"

After hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Jin Zhengru immediately said to Pu Junxi, "Pu Junxi, you may leave now!"

"Xiao Ru, I..."

"Leave!" Jin Zhengru commanded with a tone that was purely authoritative.

Pu Junxi opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but at this moment Jin Zhengru's cold voice once again reached his ears, "Don't make me repeat it a second time!"

Pu Junxi looked at Jin Zhengru's gloomy face, filled with killing intent as he swept a glance at Ye Xunhuan, then departed with a heavy snort!

Watching Pu Junxi leave, Jin Zhengru then said to Ye Xunhuan, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied now?"

"It's alright!" Ye Xunhuan replied calmly, "Alright, you can leave too!"

Jin Zhengru was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sorry for bothering Mr. Ye and Miss Qiu."

With that, Jin Zhengru elegantly and naturally left, not showing any anger despite Ye Xunhuan's assertiveness.

After Jin Zhengru left, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but speak, "Xunhuan, why do I feel like you seem to have hostility towards her?"

"It's not the owner who's hostile to her, it's that she gives off a very uneasy feeling!" Qianhuan Liuyun suddenly chimed in.

Qiu Ruoxi was surprised, then set her gaze on Qianhuan Liuyun, "Liu Yun, why didn't I feel it?"

Ye Xunhuan looked at Qianhuan Liuyun, somewhat astonished, and asked, "Liu Yun, share your thoughts!"

"Can't quite say, it's just a feeling of unease." Qianhuan Liuyun shook his head, "Her smile seems to hide a blade, making me want to just kill her!"

"Master, do you know her?"

Ye Xunhuan shook his head lightly, "I don't, but you should be careful, don't let her near Ruoxi, understand?"
