Thinking of this, Zhou Yun's face had softened considerably, and his posture was much more humble, "Miss Xia, please don't be angry. The reason I can't say where I've been is because, in our line of work, there are some unavoidable hard choices."
With Zhou Yun lowering his stance, Xia Mian did not continue to confront him and gently curled her lips, "There's no need to guard against me. If it weren't for Mr. Ming having some ties with me, even if you offered an enormous price, I'm afraid you still couldn't have invited me to treat you!"
Xia Mian's words weren't false. She knew too many things, too much and too varied. There were few things that could stump her in this world, and her willingness to treat someone depended both on relationships and on her mood.
She had no ties with the owner of this auction house before her, nor had he given her any good mood, so why indulge him?
"What the young lady said is true." Zhou Yun quickly recognized the situation.
