Chapter 624: Chapter 613: People Who Shouldn’t Be Here
It was Zhou Yunze.
Qiao Jing’s brows knitted tightly, her red lips parted slightly as she reminded Zhan Nanging,
"Zhou Yunze is at Purple Garden."
She was very curious why Zhou Yunze would appear at Purple Garden, and moreover, why he had cout of it
with Su Manhan.
Could it be that Zhou Yunze planned to start with Su Manhan?
But that didn’t make sense, because as the mother of Zhan Nanging, Su Manhan would definitely know that the
two of them had broken up. Why would she still meet with Zhou Yunze?
After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zhan Nanging paused, turned back to look, but saw no car behind her.
"What? He didn’t come."
She had just finished speaking when she saw Zhou Yunze walking out together with Su Manhan.
Zhan Nanging immediately furrowed her brows, fire flaring up in an instant as she glared fiercely at Zhou Yunze.
It didn’t take long for Su Manhan and Zhou Yunze to approach the group.
When Su Manhan saw Chi Yuhang, she nodded in approval, her face blossoming into a smile.
"Nanging, your boyfriend is so handsome. Why didn’t you tell me? That suit fits him perfectly."
Zhan Nanging watched Zhou Yunze intently, gripping Chi Yuhang’s hand even tighter.
"Of course, | helped him choose this suit. It has to fit well."
Chi Yuhang had not expected to encounter Zhan Nanging’s mother before he even had a chance to go in.
Yet he didn’t forget the training from yesterday and immediately greeted her politely.
"Hello Auntie, my nis Chi Yuhang."
Su Manhan smiled and nodded her head, stepping forward to meet them.
"So it’s Xiao Hang. | just happened to see you all hesitating to cin through the surveillance, so | cout to
see what was holding you up."
After saying that, she quickly walked over to Qiao Jing’s side and asked in a lower voice,
"Qiao Jing, what do you think of him?"
Qiao Jing glanced at Su Manhan and responded in an equally subdued voice.
"| can’t tell for now, but they seem to be very affectionate at the moment."
The smile on Su Manhan'’s face deepened as she looked at Chi Yuhang with increasing approval.
"That's great, that’s great. All | want is for their relationship to be good."
Qiao Jing hummed softly in affirmation and narrowed her cool eyes slightly. Her expression was cold as she
scrutinized Zhou Yunze with a probing gaze from head to toe.

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s inquiry, the smile on Su Manhan’s face stiffened slightly as she glanced at Zhou Yunze.
"He is the eldest young master of the Zhou Family, named Zhou Yunze. Today he specially cat his mother’s
request to bring sgifts for my visit."
Zhou Yunze felt a chill down his back under Qiao Jing’s stare, a sense of fear inexplicably rising from his spine.
He was so frightened that he almost forgot to respond to Su Manhan, but regained composure and nodded in
agreement after a moment.
"Right, my mother sentto see Auntie Su. Auntie Su, and who might this be?"
It was their first meeting, no grievances whatsoever; why did she look at him with such eyes?
Moreover, her intimidating gaze made him somewhat uneasy, yet it also strangely gave him a feeling of deja vu.
Su Manhan, proud, looped her arm through Qiao Jing’s and began to introduce her to Zhou Yunze.
"This is my daughter-in-law. You didn’t attend Qipei’s wedding previously, so you haven't met her, right? Her
nis Qiao Jing."
Zhou Yunze nodded in sudden realization, his smile carrying a trace of ingratiation.
"So it's Miss Qiao, what a pleasure to meet you."
Qiao Jing nodded slightly in response.
After hearing Su Manhan'’s introduction to Zhou Yunze, there was a suspicion in her heart as to why they had
decided to keep him around.
If Zhou Yunze cfor a visit out of the blue on his own, that would be fine, she could say she didn’t have time.
But Zhou Yunze brought his mother along, which meant the Zhou Family’s nwas at stake with this visit.
Turning them away would be a sign of disrespect to the Zhou Family.
It seemed that after a period of quiet, Zhou Yunze had resurfaced, and this the was making his move
through Su Manhan.
Su Manhan saw that everyone was still standing outside and began to invite them in.
"Let’s go inside first, instead of standing here and talking."
Zhan Nanging rolled her eyes in front of Zhou Yunze and then walked ahead, arm in arm with Chi Yuhang.
Zhou Yunze's smile froze on his face as he quickly followed behind them.
"Nanging, have you changed boyfriends? The guy | met last twasn’t this one, and this one seems much
worse than the previous one."
Upon hearing Zhou Yunze’'s words, aside from Chi Yuhang, everyone's expression darkened.
Zhan Nanging stopped in her tracks and retorted without any courtesy:
"As long as he’s better than you, it’s fine."
Su Manhan was also very dissatisfied with Zhou Yunze’s remark. She frowned, her voice growing colder as she
warned:
"Zhou Yunze, that man is Nanging’s boyfriend."
She wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of her daughter's boyfriend, as such words would clearly suggest her
daughter lacked discernment!
Considering Su Manhan’s presence, Zhou Yunze worried about being thrown out and immediately closed his
mouth.
Qiao Jing and Su Manhan walked together at the back, and the group made their way to the living room.
Qiao Jing did not immediately sit down on the couch but stopped Su Manhan.
"Madam Zhan, when did Zhou Yunze cover?"
Su Manhan glanced at Zhou Yunze, her eyes carrying a hint of scorn.
"He arrived not long ago, asking
where Nanging was. I'm not oblivious
to their relationship. To prevent
Nanging from bumping into him
upon her return, | deliteately m

mentiohed dt Nanging was
bringing her boyfriend htoday,
hoping he would take the hint and
leave. But instead, he insisted on
staying for a meal before leaving,
showing a complete lack of tact. He
brought gifts and represented the
nof the Zhou Family, so |
couldn't just send him away directly.
When | cout earlier, he followed."
After understanding the whole story, Qiao Jing pressed her lips together.
"Alright, | understand."
Everyone took their seats, with Qiao Jing sitting opposite Zhou Yunze.
Zhan Nanging sat next to Chi Yuhang, and Su Manhan sat across from them.

Clearly, these were all brought by Zhou Yunze.
When Zhou Yunze noticed that Chi Yuhang had cempty-handed, he feigned kindness as he inquired:
"Chi Yuhang, where are your gifts? | might have brought too much, and there's no more space on the table. Why
don’t you put your gifts on the floor?"
After saying that, he turned to Zhan Nanging.
"Nanging, sof these are specially prepared for you, and my mother has bought a few things for you, too."
Chi Yuhang, caught off guard by the question, found it a bit awkward to respond:
"Auntie, | brought a fruit basket, but it’s still outside. If you don’t mind, Ill go get it now."
Although he was told by the auntie not to bring anything yesterday, he felt it would be impolite not to bring
anything, so he still picked something up.

pavilion outside, wanting to take

But upon seeing the skincare products on the table, he felt his gift was incomparable to Zhou Yunze’s and
somewhat embarrassed.
Zhou Yunze burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"A fruit basket? Are you sure? Do you really think Auntie Su’s his in need of a fruit basket?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than they were caught by a sharp remark from Su Manhan.
