"You know Alev Knight personally?" At Xiao Zhi Ren's question, Ru just stared at him speechlessly.
'What have you done, young master Ru?' She nagged at her own self but it was of no use. Who told her to talk without realizing her own meaning? Now she had only two options; either she could lie or she could just deny. She chose to go with the latter option as she said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Xiao Zhi Ren looked at her incredulously. "You just said that you have a good relationship with Alev Knight."
"You heard it wrong." Ru insisted on him being wrong.
"I did not!" Xiao Zhi Ren exclaimed. "I'm sure you said that. Now, don't lie. Can't you just be honest?"
