Zhou Ziming was shocked. He did not expect that Han Ruochen would reveal such a matter. "Are you sure?"

"Brother Muchen was the one who told me this matter. If you do not believe me, then you can always ask him about it." Han Ruochen was rather calm, as she was not the one who came up with this conspiracy theory. It was Zhai Muchen who told her about it, so there was nothing to be worried about.

"I understand." Zhou Ziming was frowning hard. It seemed like he underestimated the ambition of the Yun family. It was one thing that they wanted to snatch Zhai Heng’s position, but it would be another thing if they tried to harm Zhai Heng. Zhou Ziming did not believe that the Yun family was unaware of Yun Tao’s rising ambitions. As for Madam Yun, he was not clear about whether that woman was aware of the Yun family’s evil intentions, but he knew that even if she did know about the truth behind their faces, that woman might not possibly fight with them.

After all, once a woman was married off, it was destined for her heart to belong to her in-laws rather than her maternal family.

He then placed the packages that he had brought with him onto the floor of the motorboat and said to Han Ruochen, "No matter what, you have helped our families greatly by saving Ah Heng’s life. Is there anything that you want?"

Han Ruochen’s expression changed when she heard Zhou Ziming’s remark. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but before she could even begin, Zhou Ziming raised his hand and said to Han Ruochen in a slow voice, "There is no need to feel burdened. I do not mean anything; it’s just that I believe that the Zhai family has not shown you enough gratitude." The fact that Yun Tao came to look for Han Ruochen and surrounded her with thugs was not something that a young woman would forget in a hurry. Strictly speaking, the Zhai family owed a lot of favours to Han Ruochen.

But his sister—speaking of his sister, Zhou Ziming felt his headache.

"You think too much." Han Ruochen shook her head, feeling a bit gratified. It was a good thing that the man did not have any other intentions. Since ancient times, people from high society paid special attention to the social and family background of the people around them. Whether it was about getting married or making friends, they were rather strict when it came to choosing people who could follow them.

The situation of her Han family could never be compared to that of the Zhai or the Zhou family. She knew that the Zhou family was worried that she might ask for something grand in exchange for saving Zhai Heng’s life, so they wanted to return the favour as soon as possible. But there was nothing that Han Ruochen wanted; she would rather rely on her own skills than on someone else.

Anyway, her heart was clear; she did not want to get entangled with the Zhai family more than necessary. If not for the fact that she only had one channel to sell her seafood currently, she would have distanced herself from the Zhai family even more.

Zhou Ziming saw the look in the eyes of the woman in front of him and knew that she was not lying. As someone who had stayed in the army for a very long time, he knew whether Han Ruochen had some hidden intention toward the Zhai family or not. He nodded and accepted her response. "Anyway, even if you don’t need anything, you can always look for me." He handed her a card that he always carried with him and said to Han Ruochen, "This is my personal number; you can call it when you need my help."

Han Ruochen: "..."

She had no idea what was wrong with the Zhai family and their relatives. Why did they hand her their cards every time they met?

"Xiao Chen!"

But before she could refuse the man, a loud voice interrupted her.

She raised her head and saw Zhai Heng running toward her.

"Yes?" Han Ruochen answered with her knitted brows.

"I heard that my uncle came looking for you. What did he tell you? No matter what he is telling you, you better not listen to a thing that he told you. You have already seen how it is; the elders of our family do not care about us much, yet they try to poke their noses into our matters no matter what. So whatever he told you, you better not listen to him. He is him, and I am me!"

He came jumping into the boat, and maybe because Zhou Ziming was hidden by the frame of the cabin, he did not see him.

Zhou Ziming heard his words and could not help but frown. He turned to look at his nephew and said to him, "One should always talk to a woman with respect and an upright manner. How are you talking to this young lady? If one did not know better, they would think you are a hooligan. Is this how your parents taught you?"

"Hah! Have they ever taught me anything? They all are busy with their own things and don’t care about my siblings and me. Don’t even try using my parents to threaten me. They are simply too busy to care about us!" Zhai Heng’s eyes became furious, and his tone turned defiant when he heard his uncle mention his parents. Were they his parents? Other than being somewhat useful, they were nothing good!

"If you want to quarrel, then you two can go back home and bond at home. I need to go to the sea, and you are making me very late," said Han Ruochen with a hint of annoyance in her tone. The two of them looked like they were about to quarrel at her motorboat and she had no intention of making her boat a fighting arena!
