Chapter 830: Peach Blossom Luck Arrives
Ye Fan and Mengyao returned to the hotel. Just as they reached the suite door, Du Xueqi approached them with displeasure, saying, "We’ve got a clingy band-aid that won’t leave us alone, insisting on waiting for the benefactor to come back."It was already late at night. In the Galaxy Hotel, the top ten wealthy business figures from Huaxia, here for the economic forum, had already checked in. The big shots, with business ties, began private connections to discuss the next steps for profit-sharing and new industry expansion.
Even the second- or third-generation elites from these wealthy families were actively participating in various discussions and gatherings.
During this period, the people from Chu Group were nowhere to be seen, causing other big shots to be quite displeased with them. Although the following three days would be the best time for all parties to meet, the fact that everyone knew each other was nearby meant they naturally wanted to interact. Being indifferent would be considered rude. The Chu Group keeping a low profile was, indeed, a bit disrespectful. While everyone else was actively participating in various activities, the absence of Chu Group was truly infuriating.
Most of the big shots had close business dealings with each other. Even if there weren’t direct business conflicts, there was mutual respect.
But Chu Group, a rising force, distanced itself from them, easily causing resentment toward Chu Group.
In actuality, Ye Fan and Mengyao were busy with other matters and didn’t engage in the social activities. Regardless of the activities or gatherings, there was always an underlying purpose. The Chu Group, having emerged recently, was cautious not to be underestimated by others, avoiding unnecessary interactions to prevent unwarranted hostility. After all, many forces had publicly expressed hostility toward Chu Group.
Their inaction was also a stance, silently observing the actions of other forces instead of engaging in meaningless conversations with those harboring ulterior motives.
"If we have guests, we should attend to them properly. How can you speak like that?" Mengyao spoke up. Hearing someone had visited, she intended to be polite. Though she wouldn’t go out of her way to please overly, if someone came to see them, they should observe proper courtesy.
"President, if you knew who it was, you wouldn’t blame me for being discourteous," Du Xueqi said.
"I’m curious, who is it?" Mengyao was slightly intrigued.
"The benefactor’s romantic charms have come calling." Du Xueqi teased Ye Fan with a glance.
"You’re talking about Song Meimei, aren’t you?" Mengyao immediately guessed the visitor’s identity.
"President, how did you guess?" Du Xueqi was perplexed.
"In this highly guarded hotel, if we’re talking about a guest with romantic intentions, it can only be Miss Song Meimei. Outsiders can’t get in," Mengyao said, having a lasting impression of Song Meimei from their prior meeting.
"As expected, President, you guessed right on the first try." Du Xueqi laughed cheerfully.
Mengyao had an amused smile on her face as she said, "She’s here for you. It’s your romantic matter to handle."
"Don’t make fun of me." Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and boldly stepped into the room.
Song Meimei had been waiting for a long time, without seeing any sign of Ye Fan and Mengyao, she continued waiting. Feeling hungry, she ordered something to eat and drink, continuing to wait until late at night. She remained patiently vigilant.
Upon seeing Ye Fan and Mengyao appear, she stood up happily, exclaiming, "You two went off to enjoy a little world of your own, huh? Coming back so late? I thought you got a room and weren’t coming back!"
"A guest is a guest, but Miss Song has nothing to drink here, hurry up and... " Mengyao hadn’t finished her sentence when Song Meimei quickly interrupted, "No need, I’m not thirsty. I’ve had so much coffee that I’m completely awake, and so many drinks that I’ve visited the restroom eight times; I don’t want to go a ninth."
"How about I get some food prepared for you? After all, you’re a guest, and we can’t let you go hungry," Mengyao politely offered.
"No need. You’re probably jealous of my long legs, wanting me to eat more so I’d get fat and Ye Fan wouldn’t fall for me, right? That’s your plan, but you can’t fool me," Song Meimei said boldly.
"Tch!" Mengyao glanced at Song Meimei, sneering, "I don’t have time for your nonsense, suit yourself."
With that, Mengyao left directly.
Song Meimei was on the verge of tears, appearing pitifully as she said, "Ye Fan, your Mengyao bullied me. The way she looked at me just now, she clearly despises my figure compared to hers. I can’t go on like this."
She pretended to wipe her tears, looking endearing and seeking comfort from Ye Fan, yet Ye Fan remained unmoved.
"Stop acting, it’s too obvious," Du Xueqi said bluntly. "With your legs, you call those long legs? Compared to the president, it’s night and day. The president’s long legs are something Ye Fan could admire forever. Your so-called long legs, Ye Fan has no interest to even look at. The difference is beyond words. If you have any self-awareness, you’d leave early and stop causing trouble here. There’s no chance for you."
"I won’t bother arguing with you." Song Meimei rolled her eyes at Du Xueqi and then focused entirely on Ye Fan, sweetly asking, "Ye Fan, I’m beautiful too, aren’t I?"
"More beautiful after a thorough wash and undress?" Du Xueqi mocked.
"Mind your own business and stay out of the way," Song Meimei said, glaring at Du Xueqi.
Ye Fan didn’t respond to Song Meimei, nor did he care about the girl’s banter, saying plainly, "Why did you come looking for me? Is there something you need?"
"Can’t I just see you for no reason?" Song Meimei said pitifully.
"If you have no reason, you shouldn’t bother me. We’re not even acquainted," Ye Fan seriously replied.
Du Xueqi couldn’t help but laugh on the side.
Song Meimei thickened her skin and said, "First time strangers, second time acquaintances. I’ve met you several times by now, by that logic, we’re already quite familiar, aren’t we? I love your cool and distant manner. Once I manage to win over Chu Mengyao, you’ll be my man. I won’t miss an opportunity to find such a catch like you."
Song Meimei followed this thread and seemed more motivated despite Ye Fan’s cold demeanor.
"You’re just wasting your efforts. It’s better to give up early," Ye Fan said helplessly.
"I believe everything is possible, I will not give up on you," Song Meimei’s eyes became increasingly determined.
"You’re becoming quite a nuisance for me. Be warned, I may not be so polite, and we might not even remain friends," Ye Fan warned seriously.
"Not being friends is fine too, we can be lovers," Song Meimei resolutely stated.
"Just suit yourself, I’m not interested in entertaining you," Ye Fan reluctantly left. Faced with such a persistent yet delicate girl, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh, so he decided to ignore her altogether.
