The person who was down there at that time was Wei Ruchuan, but Wei Ruolai didn't know his brother's identity.

She and Wei Ruchuan would never meet each other in normal life circles. If she rashly said that they were working together, it would not necessarily make Wei Rulai change his mind and join their organization. Instead, it would expose the identities of both of them.

"Ah."

Shen Jinzhen looked away, not wanting the person in front of her to see the guilt in her eyes.

Wei Ruolai was stunned for a moment. He thought it would be someone he knew, but since Miss Shen personally admitted that it was her colleague, there should be no intersection between the two of them.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was someone from my hometown, but it seems I was overthinking it."

His eyes dimmed for a moment.

Wei Ruolai thought that maybe he could meet his elder brother. When he was a child, his elder brother always acted like an elder brother at home. He would not only lead a group of friends to play together, but also go directly to others to help him when he was bullied.

He loved following his brother, but unfortunately his brother left home very early and would only report home to report safety once in a while.

Seeing Wei Ruolai's expression, Shen Jinzhen felt a little apologetic.

He couldn't clearly tell the other party his identity now. At least, he had to wait until Wei Ruolai lost trust in the National Government, or until Wei Ruchuan was no longer so averse to his joining the organization.

"Back home? Isn't Chunmiao already here? Does Mr. Wei have another fiancée?"

Shen Jinzhen asked the question even though he knew the answer, and even made a joke about it.

Wei Ruolai was a little flustered for a moment, and after sweeping away his previous depressed mood, he quickly explained, "No, I don't have any other fiancée, and Chunmiao and I will soon break off the engagement. I just suddenly thought of my brother. He came to see me once a while ago, but he left in a hurry and didn't say much."

He didn't know what his brother was doing specifically. The last time he sent a letter home, his father said that his brother was also in Shanghai and that he could talk to his brother if he had any questions.

But Wei Ruchuan only went to his rented house one night to chat with him for a while and left soon.

Wei Ruolai didn't know where his brother lived, so they would only have the chance to meet again when his brother remembered him in his spare time.

Shen Jinzhen was also a little confused after hearing this. Wei Ruchuan seemed to have tasks on weekdays, but he didn't seem to be that busy. Was it because he wanted to completely cut off contact with Wei Ruolai in Shanghai?

She couldn't quite understand that person's thoughts and behavior. If his identity was exposed, it would be easy to find out about his family situation. If he really wanted to protect his brother, wouldn't it be better for them to live together and take care of each other than the current situation?

Shen Jinzhen hurriedly comforted him, "Maybe he's busy. Didn't you say your brother started working when he was a teenager? Maybe he's been promoted to management now, or he has too many social engagements and doesn't have time to take care of you. Instead, he's afraid that he'll come back late at night and disturb your rest."

After hearing these words, Wei Ruolai felt better.

My brother did come out at a very young age. It must have been very difficult for him to work hard on his own. It is possible that he did this in order not to disturb me.

As the dishes were served one by one, the two people's attention was diverted.

Just now, Shen Jinzhen was already shocked enough when he saw so many dishes on other tables. When it was their turn, the table was even more full.

"Are you sure these are for the two of us?"

Shen Jinzhen could no longer look directly at the table full of food. She even began to doubt when she had ever left the impression that she was a big eater.
