Chapter 174
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu became more cautious. She still didn't know what medicine Huo Jingtong was selling in his gourd.

Huo Jingtong narrowed his eyes: "Really? Then I have to thank Miss Zhou for considering me like this."

As he said that, he changed his voice and said, "But Miss Zhou, we are partners. I think we should not embarrass each other, right?"

Zhou Shu sneered: "The premise is that Mr. Huo doesn't embarrass me."

Her eyes were cold and mocking.

"Of course, it was an accident this time, but I guess it's not a bad thing for Miss Zhou."

Huo Jingtong still had an indifferent tone, which gave Zhou Shu a headache.

Now she didn't want to cooperate with Huo Jingtong, but Zhou Shu had no choice.

It seemed that only Huo Jingtong knew the most, or maybe Huo Jingtong didn't know the cause of his parents' death or family matters at all.

Maybe he was basically using him, just to exchange for information about the Yu family.

Zhou Shu wasn't sure about this, but no one except Huo Jingtong understood it and was willing to tell him.

Now, she can only cooperate with Huo Jingtong.

In addition, he must know part of his uncle's death. Zhou Shu doesn't expect too much now, at least he can find out one by one.

As for the rest, the future is long.

Anyway, Zhou Shu can only wait for the day when the truth is found out.

Zhou Shu nodded: "It's just this time, Mr. Huo. I'm not sure what will happen next time. After all, I'm barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. I hope Mr. Huo won't play tricks on me again."

Huo Jingtong nodded expressionlessly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"I'm serious, after all, we are partners." Huo Jingtong curled his lips, with an unclear smile on his face.

"Maybe." Zhou Shu glanced at Huo Jingtong meaningfully: "You'd better be."

After saying that, Zhou Shu stood up and left. She was really in no mood to argue with Huo Jingtong.

Zhou Shu is really not sure about him for the time being, so she should wait until she has more information.

At least for Zhou Shu, it would be better not to cooperate with Huo Jingtong or to cooperate less.

Who knows when this person will secretly trick him again, Zhou Shu can't stand it.

But as Zhou Shu said, she is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and she is not someone who will suffer a loss.

If Huo Jingtong sets his sights on her, Zhou Shu will drag him with her even to death.

Thinking of this, she felt calmer.

After meeting Huo Jingtong on the way, Zhou Shu really didn't have the patience to hang around anymore, so he simply drove in the direction of Li's house.

At this time, it is estimated that Li Jinyan has not returned yet.

Maybe, she is still dating her first love Bai Yueguang.

Zhou Shu curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved for no reason in his heart.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Shu arrived at the door, he saw someone waiting for him at the door.

"Aunt Zhang?"

Zhou Shu stepped on the brakes and looked at Aunt Zhang standing at the door in confusion.

Aunt Zhang looked unhappy. The moment she saw Zhou Shu, she seemed to have found a backbone: "Miss Zhou! You are finally back!"

Her attitude was earnest and not at all like the usual Aunt Zhang.

Even Zhou Shu was stunned by Aunt Zhang's attitude and couldn't react.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you standing here? Are you waiting for me?" Zhou Shu said half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang seemed to be wiping her tears, but she responded extremely seriously.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Zhou, and you are finally back."

Zhou Shu also saw something was wrong: "What's going on? Why are you waiting for me here today?"

She took the initiative to stop the car and handed the keys to the security guard at the door: "Park in the underground garage."

Then he walked to Aunt Zhang and asked with some confusion: "Aunt Zhang, isn't Jin Yan back?" Zhou Shu's face turned pale when he thought of this possibility.

In the past, Li Jinyan was always too busy to go home, not to mention that he left the company for several days in the past two days for himself.

"Yes, sir, he's back, but there's a guest." Aunt Zhang seemed a little confused and murmured, "It's just an uninvited guest."

"what?"

Zhou Shu didn't really hear it, so Aunt Zhang smiled and said nothing more.

It's just that the smile is forced, and it can be seen that Aunt Zhang doesn't seem happy.

She didn't ask too much, and unconsciously quickened her pace.

Soon, the moment he walked into the living room, Zhou Shu instantly understood why Aunt Zhang had such an expression.

Zhou Shu had always known that Aunt Zhang didn't like Yu Yao, probably because of something that happened a few years ago.

Zhou Shu didn't know the specific details, but he knew that Aunt Zhang liked him more in this matter.

At this time, Yu Yao was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Zhou Shu coming back, she smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, long time no see, you are back."

Yu Yao's attitude was carefree and she looked at ease.

She looked like a hostess, with a perfect accent.

On the contrary, I feel like an outsider.

For a moment, Zhou Shu clenched his fists and his blood surged.

She could barely restrain the anger on her face and shifted her gaze to Li Jinyan.

I saw the man sitting far away from Yu Yao, and the distance between the two was as if there was a Milky Way.

His expression was also very bad, as if he was tolerating Yu Yao's presence.

Zhou Shu's mood relaxed a little and he snorted coldly.

Even if he had the foresight, he didn't give Yu Yao any good looks.

Otherwise, Zhou Shu would really explode and both of them would be disgraced.

She smiled nonchalantly at Yu Yao: "Long time no see. Miss Yu is coming to visit today. Why didn't you say hello in advance?"

Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows and walked to Li Jinyan's side under Yu Yao's eyes.

She calmly sat down against Li Jinyan, hugged the man's arm, and nestled against Li Jinyan's shoulder.

Smiling proudly at Yu Yao, Yu Yao's face darkened instantly.

"Tell Ayan in advance."

Yu Yao still had a smile on her face, but the hand on her side was clenched into a fist.

"Really? Then Miss Yu can come to me next time. After all, Uncle Li can't take care of that much at home." Zhou Shu smiled brightly.

It doesn't look like it has any offensive power, but in Yu Yao's eyes, it's full of provocation.

The smile on Yu Yao's face suddenly became more forced: "That's right, after all, Ayan is so busy with work."

"Miss Yu seems to care about Uncle Li very much. She knows so much about our Uncle Li's work."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, but couldn't help pinching Li Jinyan hard.

The man pulled his lips helplessly, but he liked Zhou Shu's behavior of declaring sovereignty.

He let Zhou Shu compete with Yu Yao and sat watching with a smile.

"Of course, we..." Yu Yao paused for a moment, looked at Li Jinyan affectionately, and then said, "We are partners."

Zhou Shu nodded: "Yes, since we are partners, we will entertain you well."

Her attitude was nonchalant, as if she didn't seem to care about what was happening.

Yu Yao didn't react for a while. What happened to this woman?
