Chen Ruiyu took Chen Xinyue’s words as a joke and rubbed his aching head. "This kind of 'loyal brotherhood' is quite expensive. Fortunately, I’ve managed to earn some money over the past year, and my cousin’s assets go without saying. Zhiyang is responsible for networking and business development. Since we’ve already opened the company, we certainly aren’t just playing around."
Chen Xinyue nodded repeatedly, murmuring softly, "You kept such a big thing from me. Do you not treat me as a friend?"
Chen Ruiyu chuckled and shook his head. "Don’t say that! Lingxue considers you her best friend. But ever since she found out about Zhang Jinxuan threatening you, she has been filled with guilt. She was terrified that her own troubles would implicate you, and with her being so headstrong and impulsive this time, she wanted to keep you out of it even more. She begged us to keep it a secret from you, and since we promised, we couldn’t go back on our word. I wouldn’t be telling you now if things weren’t already settled. Anyway, how are things on your end? Is work going smoothly?"
