Xu Yanlin had just come out of the teahouse and was about to get into his car to go home.

To his surprise, he saw Meng Mian and a girl enter the restaurant across the street.

His eyes lit up immediately.

It was with a girl, not Ji Silin. If he went over there, wouldn't he be able to chat with Meng Mian a little longer?

Thinking this, Xu Yanlin instructed the driver to turn the car at the intersection ahead and go to the other side.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the restaurant across the street, Xu Yanlin got out.

He didn't let the driver go in with him; he went in alone.

He was taken aback when he saw Meng Mian sitting at the table by the door as soon as he entered.

Unexpectedly, Meng Mian was sitting right here at the door.

But he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Meng Mian?"

Although Meng Mian was sitting facing the door, her eyes were on her phone and her mouth was talking to Li Xiwei.

I didn't even notice who came in.

Upon hearing the voice, she instinctively looked up and realized it was Xu Yanlin again.

Is the capital city really that small?

But she didn't mind that they had met.

Li Xiwei, who was sitting with her back to the door, heard someone call Meng Mian and turned around.

Upon seeing Xu Yanlin, Li Xiwei felt he looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him, so she asked, "Mianmian, who is this?"

Before Meng Mian could answer, Xu Yanlin said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Xu Yanlin. I used to be from the same village as Meng Mian. I heard that this restaurant has good food, so I came here to try it out. I didn't expect to run into you."

"Oh, I know you. Aren't you the young CEO of the Xu family? I heard from my brother that the Xu family has already reached a cooperation agreement with the Li family. Hello, hello, I'm Li Xiwei." Li Xiwei stood up.

Although the Xu family is not as powerful as the Li family overall, they are now cooperating.

Xu Yanlin: "Ah, so you're Ms. Li, Mr. Li's sister. Hello, hello."

"You've come at a really bad time. There are no seats left. The last two seats have already been taken by us," Li Xiwei said with a smile.

Xu Yanlin never expected that there were no empty seats at all.

He even wanted to sit at the same table as Meng Mian.

Look, the table was completely full. Meng Mian and her group's table was only for two people, and it was also packed with people.

Xu Yanlin could only laugh and say, "I came here specifically to eat, I'll go ask if there are any seats available."

Li Xiwei: "That's true, then you should go ask. Maybe someone has already finished eating."

"Um."

Xu Yanlin didn't want to leave, but because of Li Xiwei's actions, even though he hadn't heard Meng Mian say a word, he had no choice but to go to the cashier to ask if there were any seats available.

Only after Xu Yanlin left did Li Xiwei sit down again.

Seeing that Meng Mian was just playing on her phone and treating Xu Yanlin like a stranger, Li Xiwei was a little surprised: "Aren't you from the same village? Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Just because we're from the same village doesn't mean we're familiar with each other, and besides, did I really need to say anything?" Meng Mian didn't care at all.

Still looking at the phone.

Li Xiwei laughed heartily: "That's right, I was able to take care of him. I didn't expect that the young CEO of the Xu family would be from the same village as you."

Before Meng Mian could say anything, Li Xiwei remembered: "Oh right, he didn't grow up in the Xu family. I've heard that he was only found four years ago. Before that, the nanny sent him to the countryside to live a hard life. So that countryside is your village."

"Hmm." Meng Mian remained completely unconcerned.

Seeing that Meng Mian was genuinely unfamiliar with Xu Yanlin, Li Xiwei stopped talking about Xu Yanlin and started playing on her phone.

She discovered that in just a short while, Meng Mian had already forwarded her a lot of funny short videos.

Li Xiwei immediately burst out laughing: "Wow, you've been keeping busy all along!"

Meng Mian laughed heartily.

These videos are really funny.

She actually wanted to send it to Ji Silin, but it was better not to bother the God of Wealth unless necessary.

Xu Yanlin talked to the cashier for a long time, even offering to pay more.

The owners all said there was nothing they could do; there were no seats available at the moment, and they couldn't very well ask the customers to leave before they had finished eating, or even after they had just started.

After all, it was only lunchtime, and the earliest meals had only just been served.

Xu Yanlin had no choice but to leave.

He can't just stand here like that forever; it would look terrible.

However, before leaving, he paid for Meng Mian's meal.

After the agreement was reached, Xu Yanlin walked outside.

He didn't tell Meng Mian and the others that he had already paid for their meal, but instead stopped when he passed by their table.

I laughed and said to them, "There are really no seats left, so I'll have to come back another time. Enjoy your meal and drinks."

Meng Mian only said "bye-bye" out of politeness, then lowered her head again to play on her phone.

Because of the collaboration between the two companies, Li Xiwei spoke more, laughing and saying, "Then you should come earlier next time, or make a reservation in advance, otherwise there won't be any seats left."

"Okay." Xu Yanlin had no choice but to leave.

He was naturally disappointed by Meng Mian's coldness towards him.

They were still like strangers.

But including the time they met again, they've run into each other several times, and he's even contacted her twice on WeChat. Couldn't they be a little more familiar with each other than before?

He had originally thought that with repeated practice, he would definitely become familiar with it.

Xu Yanlin left the restaurant just like that.

Neither Meng Mian nor Li Xiwei cared about anyone else.

It wasn't until the food was served, they finished eating, and it was time to pay the bill that Meng Mian and her companions called the waiter to ask how much it cost.

The waiter immediately said, "It's two hundred and thirty-eight, but your table has already paid."

"They're married?" Meng Mian and Li Xiwei were both surprised. "Who got married?"

The waiter told the truth: "That gentleman who came in earlier, he even stopped at your table and spoke to you."

Meng Mian and Li Xiwei immediately knew that Xu Yanlin had arranged the marriage.

Li Xiwei asked in confusion, "Since you paid our bill, why didn't you say anything?"

"I'll give him the money right now."

As she spoke, Meng Mian picked up her phone and transferred 238 yuan to Xu Yanlin via WeChat.

Li Xiwei nodded: "You don't know him well, and I've only just met him myself. It's not right for me to let him pay the bill."

As soon as Meng Mian transferred the money to Xu Yanlin, Xu Yanlin replied immediately.

I didn't receive the payment; I just said, "I saw it was only a small amount, so I settled the account for you. Why did you transfer it back to me?"

Meng Mian immediately:

I can't let you get married.

You can accept it.

Xu Yanlin still refused to accept the payment: "It's just a small amount of money, there's really no need for this."

Meng Mian:

I don't like owing people anything, regardless of the amount.

Seeing Meng Mian's insistence, Xu Yanlin had no choice but to accept the payment.

Seeing that the chat window showed the other party had received the payment, Meng Mian put her phone away.

He didn't send another message to Xu Yanlin.

Xu Yanlin felt disappointed for a while.

Meng Mian put away her phone and took a sip of the drink on the table.

Li Xiwei was about to say, "Since we've finished eating, let's go."

To her surprise, her phone rang suddenly; it was her brother, Li Muchuan, calling her.
