A spoiled brat at max level transmigrates into the male lead's vicious ex-girlfriend.

"Putting aside the fact that he went back to his old house today, and considering we've called him before, he won't come."

Despite saying that, Li Muchuan still picked up his phone and called Ji Silin.

Ji Silin was at the old house, and had just finished lunch not long ago.

He was supposed to go back to Yuejing Mountain Residence after lunch, but he heard that the kitchen had developed new pastries and they were already being made, and they estimated that they would be ready in about ten minutes.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave, and planned to take some pastries back for Meng Mian to eat.

His grandfather felt sleepy after lunch and had already been put to a nap.

His parents both had things to do, so after lunch they left the old house.

At this moment, he was sitting alone at the large rosewood tea table in the living room.

With nothing to do, I brewed myself a bowl of tea.

While it was cooking, the phone rang. It was Li Muchuan calling.

Ji Silin picked up the phone and answered it.

"I'm playing mahjong at the club, and I'm asking you to come over. Are you coming or not?" Li Muchuan said without hesitation.

"I'm not going." Ji Silin's cold gaze remained fixed on the tea.

This tea needs to be brewed for a while.

Ji Silin heard Li Muchuan say to the people in the private room, "I told you he wouldn't come."

Then he heard Li Muchuan speak to him again: "By the way, my sister and Meng Mian are also at the club now, playing tennis on the court."

Upon hearing this, Ji Silin felt a bit tempted to go.

But before he could say anything, Li Muchuan started speaking again:

"After I finished eating, when I came to the club, I saw my sister's post on WeChat Moments. That's when I found out that she and Meng Mian were eating at a restaurant near the club, so I went over to check it out."

"I was going to pay their bill, after all, I was the older brother and I saw it all, I couldn't just pretend I didn't see it."

"Who knew that when I got there, I didn't even have to pay the bill; Xu Yanlin had already paid it for me."

"Do you know Xu Yanlin? You probably don't, but you should have some impression of Xu Haokun from the Xu family. I remember once at a party, he came up to you and wanted to toast you."

"Anyway, Xu Yanlin is the biological son he found four years ago."

"However, my sister told me that Meng Mian has already returned the bill that Xu Yanlin paid to him on her phone."

"Anyway, I don't have to pay the bill, and since I'm going to play cards at the club anyway, I brought them along."

"Don't worry, she's your girlfriend now. I've already spoken to the manager, so no one will give her a hard time. She's having a good time on the tennis court."

Ji Silin's eyes turned completely cold the moment Li Muchuan mentioned Xu Yanlin.

He didn't wait for Li Muchuan to finish speaking before asking, "How did they run into Xu Yanlin?"

Li Muchuan was not only on the phone, but also playing cards.

If you can't do two things at once, you simply can't think of anything else.

Just an immediate, subconscious answer:

"My sister said that Xu Yanlin happened to be eating at that restaurant as well. She said it was a popular restaurant, but there were no seats available, so Xu Yanlin left. Before leaving, he paid the bill for her, and they only found out that the bill had been paid after they finished eating."

If Ji Silin didn't know that Xu Yanlin liked Meng Mian, and that Xu Yanlin had even moved upstairs from Meng Mian's rented apartment, she might have believed it was just a coincidence.

But now, Ji Silin doesn't believe it.

"Which restaurant?" Ji Silin asked coldly.

Li Muchuan was playing a card and didn't notice anything amiss in his tone. He simply answered with the restaurant's name: "Chaoshang Restaurant."

After answering, he seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, I also heard that before he was found and returned to the Xu family, he was from the same village as Meng Mian."

"I have to go, I'm hanging up." Ji Silin said only this one sentence before hanging up.

Li Muchuan looked at the phone that had been hung up on, feeling quite speechless.

However, his friend was often busy, so he got used to hanging up the phone like that.

He didn't care at all and continued playing mahjong with others.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Silin called Lu Chen: "Check the surveillance footage near Chaoshang Restaurant and see why Xu Yanlin entered Chaoshang Restaurant at noon today."

After hanging up the phone with Lu Chen, the pastries were ready in the kitchen.

Ji Silin tried a piece, and it was indeed delicious.

Meng Mian will definitely like it if I bring it back.

Only then did he allow it to be packed in a box.

After Ji Silin got into the car and left the old house, he sent a message to Meng Mian:

What time are you coming home today?

I brought you tea and snacks again.

It also included a photo of the freshly packaged tea and snacks.

Meng Mian was playing tennis at the club's tennis court when her phone rang three times; someone had sent her a WeChat message.

She immediately stopped playing tennis and rushed to the recliner.

He took his phone out of his bag on the recliner and looked at it.

Upon seeing that it was indeed a message from Ji Silin, and that it was these three messages, her eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Fingers flew back:

I don't know exactly when I'll be back, but I'll definitely be back before dinner.

I will go back for dinner.

Thank you for bringing me tea and snacks again!

These tea snacks look delicious!

Ji Silin's cold eyes softened unconsciously: "I'll put it in the living room for you; you can eat it when you get back."

Meng Mian:

【Um. 】

【[The God of Wealth is the best in heaven and on earth]JPG】

Li Xiwei was a little curious as to why Meng Mian was looking at her phone so urgently.

I came along to take a look.

Then, she clicked her tongue as she looked at the chat history between Meng Mian and Ji Silin: "Although you two aren't really dating, Ji Silin is such a good boyfriend to you, he even brought you tea and snacks when you went back to the old house."

Meng Mian chuckled and nodded repeatedly: "I completely agree."

"But you're quite the smooth talker, daring to praise Ji Silin like that." Li Xiwei chuckled.

"They gave me so much money and things, and I don't have much to give back, so of course I have to give them enough emotional value."

Are you sure he likes this kind of emotional value?

"Whether he likes it or not, I'll just give it to him."

"Haha." Li Xiwei laughed again.

Meng Mian then laughed out loud: "But to be honest, he doesn't seem unpleasant, so let's just leave it at that."

Li Xiwei looked at her with admiration: "You have such a great attitude."

Ji Silin sent another message: 【So much fun.】

Meng Mian immediately replied: 【Okay.】

The two had become more in sync. After Meng Mian replied, she knew that Ji Silin wouldn't send anything else, so she put her phone back in her bag.

He played tennis with Li Xiwei again.

……

When Ji Silin returned to Yuejing Mountain Residence, he placed the tea and snacks on the coffee table in the living room.

Not long after, Lu Chen arrived in a hurry with a tablet computer.

Lu Chen opened his tablet and showed it to their president:

"The surveillance footage from the teahouse across from Chaoshang Restaurant shows that as soon as Xu Yanlin came out of the teahouse, he saw Miss Meng and Miss Li on the other side and then entered Chaoshang Restaurant."

"Then he got in the car, the car made a U-turn ahead, and then the car stopped in front of the Chaoshang Restaurant."

"Then he went inside."

Ji Silin looked at the surveillance footage and realized that it was indeed not a coincidence; Xu Yanlin had deliberately gone to the restaurant to create a chance encounter.

His cold gaze grew even colder.
