Do Not Interfere

Qin Rui heaved a long sigh. "Nothing, really. I just wanted to say that it would be better for you to stay away from Lu Ming and the others."

"What is your relationship with him?" Yao Tang asked, ignoring his advice.

Qin Rui pursed his lips and gave the matter some thought. "I guess you could say that Lu Ming is a relative on our mother's side. If you want to be technical, you could say that he's a distant cousin of mine."

"What do you mean by that?"
