Lin Mei agreed to Liu He's terms.
Liu He was quite humane, promising to stage an accidental encounter with Lin Mei.
As long as Lin Mei played along well, he would never expose the matter.
In Liu He's words, it was about mutual benefit and prosperity through harmony.
Lin Mei had no desire for prosperity through harmony.
She just wanted to get rid of Liu He as quickly as possible.
The further away this person was from her, the better.
Before they left, she specifically told Liu He, "This is just once. Never see me again."
Liu He was quite straightforward about it: "No problem. You're so close to that pretty boy, I can't stand to look. Do you think I want to stick around you guys!"
Inside Room 304.
Lü Feng and Lin Mei were soon seated.
"Let's order songs."
"Oh!" Although Lin Mei responded constantly, her replies were clearly perfunctory and absent-minded.
"There are about ten minutes left!"
Lin Mei kept an eye on the time.
She was very worried that Liu He's appearance would put her in a very awkward position in front of Lü Feng.
As her heart was filled with anxiety, suddenly, bang!
A dull thud was heard, and the door of the closed private room was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
Such force and barbarity clearly did not belong to a waiter.
Lü Feng put down the microphone in his hand and turned to look, "Who?"
"Who? Your grandpa!"
In the dimly lit corridor, an extremely excited voice pierced through the surrounding darkness and directly entered Lü Feng's ears.
As soon as he heard the voice, Lü Feng's good mood instantly vanished by seven-eighths.
"I'm sorry, sir, please leave!"
Lü Feng had brought Lin Mei out for some fun, and he didn't want this fun to turn into bad luck.
But this person clearly had no intention of doing as Lü Feng said.
He stumbled forward. His voice became even more grating.
"Isn't this 303? Miss, Miss!"
From the depths of the darkness, a man around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old strode towards Lü Feng.
Lü Feng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Sir, this is 304."
"Is it?" The person in front of him immediately looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Then, two people emerged from behind him.
"Manager Liu, you're in the wrong place. We're over there!"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Liu He waved his hands with a fawning smile and was about to follow the two people who had just entered back to Room 303.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on Lin Mei.
Seeing this, Lü Feng's relaxed nerves instantly tensed.
This person did not look like someone who would cause trouble.
Was he here to pick a fight?
Lü Feng walked up to the man and stood firm, "I'm warning you, don't mess around!"
Liu He ignored Lü Feng.
At this moment, his eyes widened even further.
"Lin Mei, it's you!"
Liu He's expression was as if he had discovered a gold mine out of nowhere.
Part of it was the acting he deliberately put on.
Another part was genuine surprise. Liu He never expected that Lin Mei, who was still somewhat immature a few years ago,
had now grown so beautiful.
To be honest, the moment he saw Lin Mei, he was indeed a little smitten.
Lü Feng was stunned.
"Lin Mei, you know each other?"
Hearing this, Lin Mei snapped back to attention, her words clearly betraying her inability to hide her nervousness.
"Yes, yes!"
Seeing Lin Mei nod, Liu He went along with it.
"We were classmates before!"
Liu He and Lin Mei were around the same age, so this reason was plausible.
"Then Manager Liu!" The two people who had followed behind were suddenly taken aback, not knowing whether to stay or leave.
Liu He saw their hesitation at a glance.
"You guys can go. Old classmates meeting up, we need to chat for a bit."
As he spoke, he looked up at Lin Mei: "What? You won't mind, will you?"
Lin Mei dared not mind.
She didn't expect Liu He to keep his word.
To appear in such a manner, she marveled at the person's ingenuity.
As long as this person didn't cause any trouble for her, everything would be fine.
Lin Mei looked against Liu He's gaze: "How about we chat?"
"And this gentleman is?"
Liu He's gaze swept towards Lü Feng beside her.
"This, this is my boyfriend, Lü Feng."
Lin Mei spoke frankly at this moment, not only to ease the awkwardness but also to remind Liu He not to mess around!
Lin Mei didn't know why she felt timid.
Logically, facts spoke louder than words. What had happened had happened and would not change.
And what had not happened would not exist.
But perhaps it was because Lin Mei cared too much about Lü Feng.
And she was even more unwilling to lose this young man in front of her.
As a result, her heart was pounding wildly.
"So, you're Mr. Lü. Mr. Lü, you don't mind, do you?"
Lü Feng shook his head. Although his first impression of the person who suddenly appeared, shouted loudly, and then turned into Lin Mei's classmate was not good.
But Lü Feng wasn't a jealous person.
Besides, his magnanimity was not that narrow.
"Sure, do you need me to step aside?"
"No, no need!"
Lin Mei quickly interrupted when she heard this.
Beside them, Liu He also smiled slightly: "No need, Mr. Lü. I'm not just visiting Southeast City for a day or two. I was here before, but then I went out for a year or two. Now I'm back! Since you are my classmate's friend, you are also my friend!"
Seeing Liu He act this way, Lü Feng didn't say anything more.
On the other hand, Liu He seemed extremely talkative now.
"My name is Liu He, Lü Feng, Mr. Lü. Actually, I heard your name when I returned this time. You're quite famous in Southeast City now!"
Liu He's flattering remarks, spoken casually, eased Lin Mei's worried heart a little.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself.
"Is this still Liu He? When did Liu He become like this?"
So polite.
Lin Mei's gaze towards Liu He couldn't help but flicker with unconcealed astonishment.
"Is that so? It seems Mr. Liu He has very up-to-date information this time!"
"That's nothing! I'm a businessman after all. What do businessmen rely on?" The man pointed to his temple. "Isn't it our brains?"
This statement was quite true.
Before Lü Feng could speak, the man continued, "Originally, I was planning to pay a special visit to the Lin family. I didn't expect such a coincidence today. I ran into you here. And you're with an old classmate. Don't you think this is fate?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lü Feng was perfectly aware of what businessmen did when they met.
All of this was covered in the practical knowledge he had learned on the mountain.
Although he vaguely felt that something was not quite right with this person, one doesn't hit a smiling face.
Since this person hadn't harmed him or shown hostility, Lü Feng saw no reason to put on a sour face.
