A Meeting Gift

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi looked up. It was Zhong Yihan. He had taken off his suit and was only wearing an ordinary white shirt with two buttons undone. From where she was standing, she could see the beautiful collarbones hidden in the shirt.

Wu Zhou chimed in, "that's right. You're really generous. Why don't we be friends? Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu…"

Wu Zhou wanted to market himself, but was once again interrupted.

Zhong Yihan's dark eyes stared at Jin Xi and he slowly said, "since we have taken a fancy to the same treasure, it must be fate. May I know your name, miss?"

"Jin Xi!" Jin Xi said happily.

"Jin Xi," Zhong Yihan repeated her name in a low voice, a gentle smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"I am Zhong Yihan."

Jin Xi's eyes flickered. The Zhong family? So he's the person that Zhang Lan was talking about?

Wu Zhou's heart broke into countless pieces. He was the one who started the conversation with the beauty. How did his fourth brother manage to introduce himself first? This was not what he expected!

He pondered for a moment and used his trump card, "So you like jewelry? I want to give this to you as a token of our love…I mean, as a gift for our first meeting."

She was still so young, so he had to go slower, or else he would scare her off.

With that, Wu Zhou excitedly handed over the heirloom jade pendant. The jade pendant was of great quality, she would definitely like it!

But Jin Xi only glanced at it and did not react at all.

Wuzhou was instantly embarrassed. She actually didn't take a fancy to his ancestral jade pendant? Could it be that she wanted gold and diamonds? As long as she wanted it, even if it was the moon, he would get it for her!

At this moment, the waiter from earlier ran over and said, "Master Han, I've already bought the things you wanted just now."

Zhong Yihan walked over and took them from the waiter's hands. He turned around and handed them to Jin Xi, saying softly, "you should drink less cold drinks, it's not good for the body."

Jin Xi glanced at the bag and saw that there was a cup of milk tea inside. It was warm, 50% sweet, and strawberry-flavored. There was an extra serving of pearls, and he had bought it completely according to her preferences.

"Thank you," she said.

Jin Xi took the milk tea, and their fingertips touched gently. When Wu Zhou saw this, he looked at the two in shock and said in disbelief, "you…"

He didn't know what to say for a moment. She rejected his heirloom jade pendant and accepted milk tea?

His family heirloom couldn't even be compared to a cup of pearl milk tea?

In Jin Xi's eyes, that was indeed the case.

Wu Zhou looked at her as she walked away with the milk tea in her hands, and his heart was filled with resentment. "How can you be like this? I took a fancy to her first!"

Zhong Yihan tilted his head and lit a cigarette. He raised his eyebrows and exuded an arrogant and cold aura, "what, is your name printed on her body?"

Wuzhou's heart ached even more! He really wanted to imprint his name on the girl, but he had to have the chance first!

"I just don't understand," he said, feeling wronged, "my gift is so expensive, how can it not be better than your cup of milk tea? Why didn't she accept my gift?"

Zhong Yihan smiled arrogantly and said, "it's probably because of the face?"

…

On the other hand, Jin Xi and Zhang Lan had already reached the parking lot. Zhang Lan suddenly asked with a serious expression, "have you found any clues about the incident regarding master?"

Hearing this, Jin Xi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "The murderer is in Hucheng City."

"Is the information accurate?" Zhang Lan asked.

"Yes, because I've already smelled his aura!"

This time, Zhang Lan didn't say anything. Last year, Zhang Lan earned some money in the city. He was going to return home to show his filial piety to his master. However, he found out that his master was killed by ruthlessly. After that, Zhang Lan swore that she would catch the murderer. However, reality was cruel. For more than a year, Zhang Lan and Jin Xi had been investigating this matter, but to no avail.

Jin Xi suppressed the anger in her eyes and said, "let's go." Then, she was going to hail a taxi by the roadside.

At this moment, Zhang Lan took out an old Volkswagen key and said with a smile, "'ll drive you. I bought it second hand a few days ago. It only cost two thousand yuan. It looks good, right?"
