Chapter 658: Fan Meilin: I am rich
"That bastard!" Madam Liao was beyond infuriated. She raised the paperweight in her hand and then threw it at the closed door. She was furious, but Madam Liao had no way to let out her anger. She pursed her lips and breathed heavily. But even then, her anger didn't seem to be simmering down. "How dare he! How dare he talk back to me like that?"
Madam Liao never expected Fan Meilin would refuse her offer. She thought that the second she suggested it, the mer would latch onto it and agree to marry her daughter. She never expected such a twist!
Su Daji didn't say anything and stayed silent. She knew that this was going to happen and even tried to dissuade Madam Liao, but the woman was more stubborn than a mule. She didn't listen to a word that she said to her and insisted that she go ahead and bring that mer to her office. If Madam Liao had listened to what she was telling her earlier, then nothing like this would have happened.
Su Daji turned to look at Madam Liao and questioned, "What about Young Miss?"
Like a balloon popping, all the anger that was waiting to burst out of Madam Liao went poof. When she thought about the condition that Liao Hong had put forth, Madam Liao felt like her head was about to burst open. She raised her hand and pinched the space between her eyebrows before saying to Su Daji, "Call that debt collector. I will talk with her; let's see if she can wake up."
When Su Daji heard the words of her boss, her lips twitched. Wake up? All these years, Liao Hong had never listened to a word that Madam Liao had to say to her. Why would she listen to anything that Madam Liao had to say to her now?
On the other side, Luo Huian raised her head and looked at the mer who walked out of the company. Fan Meilin's complexion was flushed red, and he looked rather cheerful with the little hop in his steps as he headed toward Luo Huian. Seeing how happy he looked, Luo Huian recalled the yelling and crying and fussing of his assistant. Xu Qiao told her that Fan Meilin was getting bullied. Looking at the mer, it didn't seem like he was getting bullied at all. In fact, he looked like a proud rooster who had won a war.
Luo Huian spat the bubble gum in her mouth into the trash can and then walked over to where Fan Meilin was standing. She headed over to the mer and said to him, "Are you alright? Your assistant called me and said that you were being bullied. What happened?"
Fan Meilin knew that Xu Qiao was worried, but he never knew that he was this worried. He actually called Luo Huian and told her that he was getting bullied? Touching his nose with subtle embarrassment, Fan Meilin said to Luo Huian, "It's nothing. You don't need to worry about me."
From the looks of it, she really didn't need to worry about him. Luo Huian pursed her lips and reached out to hold the hand of the mer, relishing the spiritual energy that flowed through his fingertips. Even though the energy was not enough, Luo Huian was satisfied with it, and Fan Meilin was even more satisfied. He looked down at his hand that was being held by his wife, and a smile slowly etched on his lips. He was happier than ever, and he would have been even happier if someone had not been looking at him like they wanted to skin him alive.
He slowly turned around and looked at Du Mianmian, who was standing next to Liao Hong. The two of them were staring at him, and Luo Huian as if they wished for nothing but the most evil thing to happen to the two of them.
Luo Huian followed his gaze, and when she saw Liao Hong along with Du Mianmian, she felt her lips twitch in amusement. What was this? Why were they staring at her as if they were waiting for her to drop dead in a moment? Maybe she truly did.
Something is weird.
"Hmmm?" Luo Huian raised her head and looked at Xiao Bai, who was staring at the mer next to Liao Hong. "What's weird about him?"
Xiao Bai narrowed her slitted eyes at the mer and stated, "It's weird… that mer—there is something really awful about his energy, like his soul is corrupted and meshed with bits and pieces of something else."
Luo Huian stared at the mer who was standing next to Liao Hong and arched one brow. She, too, could feel the disruption in his energy and mused. "Ah, it seems like this mer went through quite an ordeal." Luo Huian could see that this mer had the memories of his past life. It seemed like he returned to this world after crossing one of the running timelines of the parallel world. She was not even surprised, as Luo Huian knew that there were a lot of things in the world that didn't make sense, but they still existed. She pulled away her gaze and then walked away with Fan Meilin. Since the two of them didn't say a word, Luo Huian would naturally not rush to push her hot face against the cold bottom.
When Du Mianmian saw Luo Huia walking away without looking at him, his expression turned sombre. He touched his face and wondered if he was not looking good enough for Luo Huian to pay attention to him.
System, didn't you say that with my charm points, I can easily make any woman fall for me? Why is it that Luo Huian didn't even look at me? She didn't even glance at my face and walked away.
Host, Miss Luo, is the ultimate winner of this world. You are forgetting that she has skills that no one has—do you think you can just charm her like every other woman? If it were that easy, then what is the difference between her and those women you are with at the moment?
Du Mianmian felt like it did make sense. The heavy feeling in his chest lightened, and he turned to look at the woman beside him. He softly said, "It seems like Brother Meilin is going on a date, Boss Liao. The two of them looked really happy."
Liao Hong snorted as she turned around on her feet and headed inside the company. Happy? Fan Meilin could never feel happy with anyone else except her!
Du Mianmian watched the woman leave and curled his lips upwards. Haha, since Fan Meilin won't leave Luo Huian, then he would make it impossible for that mer to survive.
Fan Meilin sneezed twice in the car; he had no idea how someone was targeting him. He closed his eyes and relished the cakes that his wife had brought for him. It was a set of four chocolate cupcakes which were overloaded with chocolate cream on top; it tasted bittersweet, something that he absolutely adored. "It's really good."
Of course, it was good; she was the one who made it. When she received the call from Xu Qiao, Luo Huian was worried that the mer would be in a bad mood, so she immediately whipped something quickly with her spiritual energy; if not, she wouldn't have needed Fan Meilin's energy so soon.
"Where do you want to go?" Luo Huian asked as she drove the car. The two of them had not decided on a set location when Fan Meilin said that he wanted to go to a place to eat.
"How about the new place that opened on North Street?" said Fan Meilin, recalling the restaurant name that Xu Qiao kept telling him about. "It's a BBQ place and we can also order some good desserts there."
Fan Meilin had heard a lot about that place and couldn't help but want to take a look.
When Luo Huian heard his suggestion, she didn't think much and entered the address in the GPS before heading to the BBQ place that Fan Meilin was talking about. It was a small shop located at the end of the street, but even then, Luo Huian could see that it was quite popular; the line there was way too long!
She frowned and stated, "It's too long; if I had known that it would be this long, I would have booked a table."
While she was wondering how long they had to wait to enter the restaurant, Fan Meilin walked past her and headed straight to the entrance of the restaurant.
"Hey, Meilin—"
"Fifty thousand yuan—a VIP room." Fan Meilin said to the lobbyist with a smile on his face. "And I will throw in another thousand yuan if the service is up to my satisfaction."
Luo Huian: "..."
Luo Huian: "..."
She looked at the neatly arranged table in front of her and pursed her lips in shock. These humans they were really too greedy!
