Li Ruowei's gossipy eyes made me feel particularly guilty.

She knew Su Beicheng, and if she told him about her meeting with Zhou Minghe today, Su Beicheng would be so jealous.

"Of course not." After calming myself down, I smiled and replied, "Just a friend."

Zhou Minghe, who was not far away, had sharp ears and heard my lowered voice. He immediately came over and corrected me: "I am the nephew of her ex-boyfriend."

My heart tightened and I stared at him subtly.

Li Ruowei's mouth dropped open at the complexities of the relationship. She glanced between us and said, "So, he's your ex-boyfriend's nephew. So, your ex-boyfriend... wouldn't be in his 50s or 60s, would he?"

I blushed in embarrassment and immediately said, "No, he's only about thirty."

Zhou Minghe stared at me with gritted teeth.

I quickly grabbed Li Ruowei's arm and walked forward, not wanting to argue with him any longer.

The Jinrong Conference started at around 10:30, and some invited experts took turns to explain the future economic trends of the split. Of course, most people were so active in showing the good prospects of their companies because they wanted to get more investment and support on the spot.

Li Ruowei and I were sitting in the third row, closer to the podium. I saw Zhou Minghe sitting in the first row. He was staring down at the speech in his hand, as if he would need to go on stage to speak soon.

It's rare to see him dressed so formally, but I have to say that he is young and in good shape, and he looks handsome in a suit.

From my direction, I can see his exposed collar, a small piece of his white shirt, his short black hair that is styled very stylishly, and his superior back of the head, which also has a touch of nobility.

In a place where Zhou Minghe can't see me, I can secretly look at him a few more times.

In fact, I know that Zhou Minghe also has pressure, which is to take over his father's company. He is already at the top at such a young age. I wonder if he will panic.

Finally, it was Zhou Minghe's turn to explain.

Li Ruowei saw it and couldn't help but laugh: "Jingjing, your nephew is on stage."

I was so confused that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Ruowei is making fun of me.

"I don't have a nephew that old." I said with a smile.

"But this guy looks pretty good. He's very handsome and looks like someone who can accomplish great things." Li Ruowei propped up his chin and said slowly, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

I was stunned and quickly shook my head: "He has been studying abroad. I don't know him very well and I don't know anything about him."

"Then please ask for me later. I have a cousin who is also studying abroad. I can introduce them to each other when the time comes." Li Ruowei suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker.

My heart trembled as I looked at Zhou Minghe on the stage. He was full of energy and read an opening speech in fluent English. Then, an introduction to their company's products appeared on the huge screen next to him. Zhou Minghe seemed to be very accustomed to such large occasions. He was not afraid of the stage. He introduced the performance and uses of the products in a logical and clear manner.

For some reason, my heart aches when I think about him meeting a pure and sweet-looking Fu'an girl while he is abroad, getting to know each other, and finally falling in love with each other.

What's wrong with me?

I am too greedy. I actually care about him falling in love with another girl at first sight.

"Jingjing, so his name is Zhou Minghe." Li Ruowei didn't notice that I was in a bad mood. She propped up her chin and said with a smile, "Do you have his contact information?"

"I...I didn't." I lied. Maybe I was too selfish. I didn't want him to meet Li Ruowei's cousin.

"What a pity." Li Ruowei bit her lip and said, "It's okay. We'll go find him after the meeting."

I shuddered. Was Li Ruowei so persistent? Did she insist on introducing Zhou Minghe to her cousin?

I said "OK" absentmindedly, and then stared at Zhou Minghe.

Zhou Minghe seemed to look in my direction a few times, but he didn't turn his gaze to me.

The meeting started at around 12 o'clock, and a staff member came to us and told us that lunch had been arranged nearby and invited everyone to enjoy it.

"Let's go find your nephew." Li Ruowei stood up happily and took my hand as she walked towards the passage next to her.

I felt my heart beating faster. When Li Ruowei took me to find Zhou Minghe, he was standing next to the podium and talking with a few big guys. They seemed very engaged in the conversation.

Li Ruowei winked at me and signaled to wait a moment.

I actually wanted to escape from here as soon as possible. I didn't want her to help Zhou Minghe introduce girls.

Zhou Minghe smiled casually and turned around, and saw Li Ruowei and I standing not far away. He suddenly walked towards us.

Li Ruowei was very courageous and confident. When she saw Zhou Minghe, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm Jingjing's friend. My name is Li Ruowei. I wonder which country you're studying in now?"

"The United States." Zhou Minghe replied.

"Wow, that's such a coincidence. My cousin is also in the United States. Which university are you in?" Li Ruowei was a little excited and surprised.

"MIT." Zhou Minghe answered again.

Li Ruowei immediately snapped her fingers, a smile in her eyes: "Tsk, this is really fate. I wonder if you know my cousin, she also studies at MIT."

Zhou Minghe glanced at me and said calmly, "If we're from the same school, there's a high probability that we've met before."

"Her name is Yan Ning." Li Ruowei said a girl's name.

Zhou Minghe nodded: "I know him, but we've never spoken."

Li Ruowei clasped her hands together in front of her chest and smiled sincerely, "That's great. My cousin is quite introverted, not very ostentatious or high-profile. If you go back to the United States, you can go have dinner with her or something."

Zhou Minghe's next sentence was: "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Li Ruowei: “???”

I was also surprised. Zhou Minghe seemed to be very awkward when it came to treating women. He was perverted towards the people he liked, and even more perverted towards the people he didn't like.

"Well, just think of it as making another friend..." Li Ruowei wanted to try harder.

"I have enough friends," Zhou Minghe said, and then continued, "My parents are very strict and don't allow me to mess around abroad, especially not to have a girlfriend."

After saying that, Zhou Minghe turned around and left without even looking at me.

Li Ruowei was stunned on the spot, somewhat dazed.

"Jingjing, was he this cold when you first met him?" Li Ruowei was a sincere person, and her sincerity was hit, so she felt helpless.

I chuckled and said, "His parents don't have a good relationship, so he might be extra cautious about having a girlfriend."

"Is that so?" Li Ruowei lowered her head, thoughtfully: "Alas, my cousin also comes from a single-parent family. If they both lack love, I think this is the best fit. No, I can go talk to my cousin about this."

I looked at Li Ruowei who seemed very stubborn in wanting to make this thing happen, and I was speechless.

Li Ruowei looked at me and explained, "My cousin has lived in my house for a few years. I have always treated her as my own sister. I am very concerned about her marriage. I hope you can understand."

I was stunned. So that's how it is.

"I think it's pretty good. Zhou Minghe's personality doesn't seem like that of a troublemaker." I said with a dry laugh.

"Yes, I see his face is good, he will definitely do great things in the future. It would be a blessing for my cousin if she could be with him." Li Ruowei actually believed in fortune-telling and knew how to read faces.

I watched Zhou Minghe go back to chat with those men. It seemed that he was here for his career today.

Li Ruowei and I walked towards the restaurant.
