Chapter 297 Lie to me

Chapter 297 Lie to me
There were several large coarse porcelain bowls on the old wooden table.

Several people sat at the table. Lin Zheng dismissed the outsiders and played the role of a younger brother serving tea. He diligently used a large rooster porcelain teapot from the 1990s to evenly pour the tea into the bowl.

The aromatic scent of tea instantly spread throughout the house, and you could tell it was no ordinary stuff at first sniff.

The tea bought back from the auction was packed in cheap containers, with a strong sense of disconnection between cheapness and luxury, just like Yu Ning and Lin Zheng in front of Jiang Nan.

These two young people belong to different fields and their lives should not have intersected, but the gears of fate bring them together in unusual harmony.

Jiang Nan was briefly distracted, while Yu Ning picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Zheng stood by and watched as if it was nothing unusual. When he saw that her bowl was empty, he consciously refilled it with another one.

This time, Yu Ning did not waste it like he did just now. He picked it up and put it to his nose and took a sniff. It was the smell of money.

"If you like it, take two cans with you when you go back." Lin Zheng said with a smile.

"You bribed our people, and now you want to bribe me?" Jiang Nan had a blank expression.

"Two cans of tea are nothing compared to bribery. How can you repay my wife for taking care of her with these material things?"

Lin Zheng sat next to Yu Ning very naturally. His smiling face made it difficult for Jiang Nan to associate him with the last time he met her, when he was in a hostile and arrogant manner.

"You are quite adaptable and your principles are quite flexible," Jiang Nan mocked.

Lin Zheng was not ashamed and even felt a little complacent.

"Of course, if you treat my wife well, then you are my friend, Lin Zheng. You two are busy running around for my wife, so I naturally have to treat you with courtesy."

When Jiang Nan heard Lin Zheng say "you two", his brows slightly frowned, but he was worried that Lin Zheng was testing him, so he did not respond, holding the tea bowl to hide his inner turmoil.

Lin Zheng is a well-known figure in the business world, and playing tricks when negotiating with people is just a common thing for him. If he fails to test the answer the first time, he will just keep talking.

"My wife went to the underworld and paid a visit to some of our Ningshan ancestors. She also took a stroll in the 'family compound'."

When Jiang Nan heard this, he looked at Yu Ning in surprise.

Could it be that her wild ancestor worship behavior today is related to going to the underworld?

"The news is more or less the same. I've found out almost everything." Yu Ning blew the tea leaves lightly. Her lowered eyes made it impossible to see what she was thinking. She continued to speak along the lines of Lin Zheng's thoughts.

The pressure was on Jiang Nan. He was not sure how much these two people knew, but he could feel the amazing tacit understanding between them.

These two seemed to have a better understanding of each other than the last time they met.

His eyes fell on Yu Ning's wrist. The crystal clear jade bracelet echoed the jade pendant on Lin Zheng's neck. Jiang Nan couldn't help but blame his master in his heart.

Master, oh master, why leave something else for the girl, why did you have to leave such a thing for her?

The junior sister was difficult to deal with in the first place, and now she and Lin Zheng have the ability to communicate with each other's minds, which makes Jiang Nan very passive.

He is not fighting against one person, he has to face two people at the same time.

Moreover, they are both outstanding people in their respective fields.
"Azheng and I do have some tacit understanding, but it's not entirely because of this." Yu Ning said, taking off the bracelet from her wrist and placing it on the table to show her sincerity.

Jiang Nan was secretly surprised that his junior sister had made great progress during this period.

She could guess what he was thinking just by looking at him.

"I want to know what the new solution you just mentioned is." Jiang Nan said. Yu Ning and his wife were testing him, and he was also testing the two of them.

Each side has different information and is planning its own game, so they want to use the information gap to gain more opportunities for themselves.

"Before we talk about business, I want to ask, where is the eldest brother? My third brother is with him now, right?" Yu Ning asked.

"The eldest brother has lost his original intention over the years and has only been chasing for fame and fortune. He has long ignored the affairs of the sect. As for your third brother's affairs, although I know about it, I am powerless to help him." Jiang Nan gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

Yu Ning didn't look at Jiang Nan, but started talking about something seemingly unrelated.

“I learned something very interesting while I was there.

According to the rules, people who commit suicide are not eligible for reincarnation, but the rules here are slightly different. Someone negotiated with the people below that people who commit suicide due to depression can be exempted from punishment.
This fellow Taoist who speaks out for justice seems to be from our Ningshan."

"It's me." Jiang Nan quickly acknowledged it when she mentioned it.

"Haha~" Lin Zheng's laughter interrupted at an inopportune time, and Jiang Nan looked at him angrily.

This guy, is he laughing for no reason?
"I'm sorry, Second Brother, I couldn't help myself." Lin Zheng apologized, but his smile was getting bigger and bigger.

This arrogant attitude aroused Jiang Nan's dissatisfaction, and he put the tea bowl down heavily.

"I'm funny?"

"A little bit, haha."

Jiang Nan wanted to beat him up, the kind that would knock his front teeth out.

"Second Brother, you don't lie often, do you? Have you noticed that when you lie, your eyes look particularly empty?"

After hearing what Lin Zheng said, Jiang Nan subconsciously reflected on himself, was his expression really that obvious?
But soon, Jiang Nan realized that he had been fooled!

Look at the two little foxes opposite, one has a smile on his face, and the other raises his hand arrogantly.

"Give me five~Wife, am I awesome?" Lin Zheng raised his hand, wanting to high-five his wife to celebrate.

Yu Ning pouted and gave him a kiss as a reward.

Lin Zheng was quite satisfied with this "error".

Such an eye-catching scene made Jiang Nan even angrier. It was too arrogant!
He had lived for more than seventy years, but was led astray by two little bastards.

Jiang Nan was getting restless. He didn't want to stay here for even a minute. These two little bastards were so slippery and hard to deal with.

"The one who advocated for the souls of the dead with depression was the eldest brother. Second brother, although my husband is a little cunning, he is still very good at judging people. You are not a good liar."

After Yu Ning rewarded Lin Zheng, she directly broke the window paper.

"If the eldest brother really lost his original intention to pursue fame and fortune as he told you, how could he do such a good deed? After all, bargaining with the people below will not do any good to his merits."

"How do I know what he's thinking? Maybe he just did it for the sake of convenience."

"Then you just pretended to be the eldest brother's good deed and it was just a convenience? As far as I know, you are not such a superficial villain, so there is only one answer left. You, the eldest brother, my third brother, and you three brothers worked together and planned secretly with only one purpose, to deceive me."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Jiang Nan was so embarrassed after being exposed by Yu Ning that he stood up and was about to leave.

If I don't leave now, I'm going to be tricked by these two cunning little bastards.
