Chapter 697 Is Juan A Little Peculiar (1/2)

”Jean. You are so kind and caring. You're a lot nicer and better than Zed. He only pretends to care about me, while in fact, he kicks me right in the shins every time I fall down.”

Juan threw a sidelong glance at Zed and raised his voice on purpose.

Zed was standing right next to him, and could only rub his nose with an embarrassed smile.

”Well, well, well... Looks like even though Juan's Chinese isn't so good, he still has managed to pick up quite a number of idioms and speaks it better than Avery...” Jean remarked with a smile.

”I...” Juan was a little embarrassed on the remark but he forced a smile and asked a moment later, ”Jean, do you really wish to know the kind of person Tina is? I can tell you that. In fact, I can show you. I'll call her and ask her to fly in at once.”

Jean threw a look at Zed when she heard the idea.

She was thinking that she had only casually mentioned about wanting to know more about Tina just now. But Juan had instantly agreed to call her and request her to fly in at once.

To her, his trait was a little bit peculiar.

Zed smiled when he saw her looking at him but his face remained inscrutable. Evidently, he wanted her to solve her problem on her own this time.

Jean thought for a while, and then smiled. ”Okay sure. I think that's a good idea. I don't have anything better to do these days and merely stay at home all day long. What's worse, none of my friends stay in the city and I have no one to talk to, which makes me feel so bored all the time and this sounds like a plan to beat that too. Once Tina is here, she can stay with me for several days.”

”Jean, I was sure that you would agree, because I knew you're the smartest girl in the world. Don't worry. I'll call her right away!” Juan grinned happily and rushed out to make the call.

After making sure that Juan, on the other side of the room, was out of earshot, Jean whispered, ”Zed... What's going on? What's up with Juan? Why does he look so excited with the prospect of Tina coming here? I seem to recall he saying that he didn't like her. Am I wrong? Because for the moment, he looks thrilled with the idea.”
