Chu Rui's sudden call surprised me a little. I remembered that he was studying in the UK, so why did he come to the United States to play?

Is it just to watch that game?

"Jingjing, please, it's just a meal, don't refuse me, okay? I'm leaving the United States tomorrow." Chu Rui spoke sincerely.

I tilted my head and thought for a while. Although Zhou Minghe didn't like me meeting Chu Rui, why should I lose other social interactions because of him?

First, he is not my husband, and second, he is not the person I have decided to spend the rest of my life with. He only has two identities: one is my roommate, and the other is my boss.

Thinking of this, I accepted Chu Rui's invitation.

I changed into a dignified dress and came over. Chu Rui was already waiting in the restaurant. When he saw me, he waved.

When I came over, he quickly stood up and opened the chair for me, showing his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Thank you." I smiled at him. "Are you going back to England tomorrow?"

Chu Rui nodded with a distressed expression: "If I had known you were here, I should have chosen to come to the United States. In this way, we can have someone to take care of us."

When I heard this, I shook my head: "Chu Rui, how can there be a relationship of care between us? Your sister is still in prison, don't you hate me?"

Chu Rui was stunned. The next second, his expression was a little depressed: "I can't hate you. My sister was wrong in this matter. She wanted to snatch the man from you, but she couldn't, so she became jealous and wanted to teach you a lesson."

"You know everything?" I was a little surprised.

Chu Rui nodded: "I heard everything my sister said to my parents at home. Jingjing, the newly appointed Mayor Su, does he not want you anymore?"

My heart ached. The relationship problems between Su Beicheng and I had always been kept secret, so no one else would know the inside story if I broke up with him.

"Well...right." I gave a wry smile. "But this incident doesn't hurt me that much. Relationships are like this. We come together because of love. If we can't love anymore, of course we have to separate."

Chu Rui looked at me distressedly and chuckled softly: "You are young, but you see things very clearly. My sister is much older than you, but she can't see through it. She always thinks that you occupy his heart, so he can't spare the heart to like her."

"Does your sister really like Su Beicheng so much?" I was surprised.

"Su Beicheng is my sister's senior. My sister had heard of his name when we were in school. He was a top student." Chu Rui told some secret things.

"Which university is this top student from?" My eyes lit up and I asked quickly.

"Peking University." Chu Rui was stunned for a moment: "Why, Su Beicheng didn't even tell you this?"

My heart started pounding. The child’s father is a top student at Peking University, so... they should also have a talent that can get into Peking University.

"Uh...I haven't asked him these questions." I said vaguely.

"It seems that your relationship is not that good. You didn't even tell you which school he graduated from." Chu Rui's words stabbed me in the heart.

I lowered my head to drink water, smiled, and didn't respond.

But I was secretly happy in my heart.

"Your sister was also admitted to Peking University, which shows that she is also a top student and very outstanding." I immediately praised her.

Chu Rui nodded: "Yes, my sister is better than me. She got in based on her own ability, so compared to my sister, I look like a waste."

"You are also very good, don't belittle yourself." I said softly.

A smile quickly welled up in Chu Rui's eyes, and he looked at me with interest: "Jingjing, you are really good at comforting people, and this is also your advantage."

I was embarrassed for a moment.

At this moment, Chu Rui suddenly stood up and waved at the door behind me.

My hand holding the water cup suddenly tightened, and then I saw Ji Mu in a suit walking towards me.

"Hello, Dr. Ji." I quickly stood up and greeted him politely.

Ji Mu looked at me twice with a slightly deep gaze, then bowed his head: "Don't be so polite, sit down."

Chu Rui said happily: "Uncle, look how fateful Jingjing and I are. We actually watched the same game."

Ji Mu looked at me with a smile, his eyes warm: "I am also surprised that Miss Yin would appear in the United States."

"It's all because of that bastard named Su. He obviously felt that Jingjing was hindering his career, so he sent her to the United States with a plane ticket. This is a despicable tactic often used by politicians." Chu Rui suddenly started cursing.

I was shocked. It turned out that Chu Rui also thought that I was forced to come to the United States, but because of face, he never exposed me.

At this moment, Ji Mu's words aroused his anger. He no longer cared about his image and scolded Su Beicheng.

"Don't talk nonsense." After all, Ji Mu is older and an elder. Su Beicheng has a special status, and Ji Mu doesn't want Chu Rui to develop such a violent character.

"Am I wrong? I just feel sorry for Jingjing. She has given so much love, but in the end, it's all in vain?" Chu Rui got angry and his face turned red with anger.

"Listen to what Miss Yin has to say." Ji Mu stared at Chu Rui seriously.

Chu Rui closed his mouth instantly and snorted.

Ji Mu's eyes fell on my face, as if waiting for a reply from me.

I immediately whispered, "I came to the United States for a reason, but it's not convenient for me to talk to you about it. Can we talk about something else?"

Seeing that I refused to tell the truth, Chu Rui looked like he had guessed what I had guessed, and he wanted to curse even more.

Ji Mu nodded gentlemanly: "Okay, let's have a good meal today and not talk about unhappy things."

"I have already ordered the dishes. Uncle, do you really want to stay here for three months?" Chu Rui asked Ji Mu with his chin propped up in boredom.

Ji Mu nodded: "If I succeed academically, I can return home in three months. Otherwise, it may take even longer."

"Oh, I really want to switch places with you. You go to England and I stay in America." Chu Rui raised his eyebrows at me evilly: "In this way, Jingjing and I can also go out and play together."

Ji Mu frowned slightly, lowered his head to drink water, and said nothing.

I didn't say anything. Chu Rui was a lively and unruly young man who acted on his whims. He was indeed a young master who was well protected by his family and not worldly-wise at all.

"How is your sister feeling in prison? Last time I heard that she was injured and was released on medical parole." Ji Mu suddenly mentioned Chu Min.

"I know my sister's boisterous personality. Even if she's in jail, she's still acting like a queen. This time she was released on medical parole, I think my parents paid for her to get some fresh air." Chu Rui said lazily.

Ji Mu nodded and said nothing more.

In my heart, I was secretly surprised that it was possible to operate in secret and exploit loopholes in the law.

What I am most worried about now is whether Chu Min will be the first to come to me for settlement when he is released from prison.

I glanced at the two men sitting next to me. They were Chu Min’s close relatives. Alas, if I really encounter any problems in the future, I might have to ask them for help.

Chu Rui received a call. He stood up, left the restaurant, and went to the corridor to answer the call.

There are only Ji Mu and I left.

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Just now when there were only three of them, everyone was relatively relaxed, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

It’s from Ji Mu.

I have never been attracted to Chu Rui, so naturally there will be no emotional entanglement.

But Dr. Ji and I...

When I thought about the conversation we had at his house that night, my face suddenly turned red. I felt as embarrassed as if I had failed to catch anything and was slapped in the face by the fish instead.

Ji Mu was very quiet. He held the red wine, took a sip, and then asked me, "Are you pregnant?"
