Chapter Thirty-Five: A Fierce Battle

  Both of them were a bit hungry, so Li You Ran invited He Mei Li to a foreign restaurant for dinner. The pianist inside was playing the piano. Okay! Mainly because eating here would seem more upscale, actually when it comes to food, Li You Ran prefers Chinese cuisine.

  The two of them sat down like this, and the waiter came over to hand them menus. Li You Ran had apparently returned all the knowledge his teacher had taught him, because they recognized him but he didn't recognize them!

  The awkwardness was handed over to He Mei Li, who gave him a white eye and then ordered several dishes. After the waiter left, she said: "You really got rich! You actually bought luxury goods and bought so many at once, and you came to a high-end restaurant for dinner! This meal will cost at least a few thousand."

  He Meili couldn't help but ask, originally Li You Ran had already said that he was rich, it's just that she didn't believe him, but looking at his qualified rhythm, he also doesn't seem like the kind of person who would pretend to be something he's not.

  "I've told you all along, but you just don't believe me! To prove it, I'll show you something. Then you'll know why I have money."

  Li You Ran mysteriously pulled out a coin from his pants pocket and placed it in front of He Mei Li. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but after taking a glance, her eyes widened immediately. It was a gold coin with an embossed dragon pattern that she had never seen before! Moreover, the dragon had large wings, typical of Western dragons. The key point was that the coin was made of genuine gold.

  He Meili immediately covered the gold coins, then looked around, and only after making sure no one had noticed them did she say: "You're crazy! Don't you know that wealth shouldn't be revealed in public? Where did this come from? I've never seen such gold coins before!"

  "It's dug out." Li You Ran said with a smile.

  "Be serious for once and talk seriously."

  Li You Ran smiled and didn't speak, He Mei Li only slowly changed color and said: "Could it be true?"

  "You think! What can I do to make so much money quickly! I don't have any rich relatives abroad, let me tell you! I sold some in a jewelry store! This money is all from there, I'm going to start my own company! Be my own boss, how about that!"

  Li You Ran was like a child who had just gotten a new toy and was showing off in front of the girls, while He Mei Li thought further ahead.

  "Starting a company? What would you do? I'd rather say it's better to buy some storefronts and be a landlord, how much did you sell?"

  The next sentence exposed her greedy nature, and Li You Ran smiled and asked: "Are you asking as a friend or as a girlfriend?"

  "How's your friend? And how's your girlfriend?"

  "Friend! I won't tell you how much I earn no matter what, if it's a girlfriend, I'll give all my money to you! You can see for yourself, wouldn't you know?"

  Li You Ran wasn't afraid at all that He Mei Li would abscond with the money, even if she did, it would only mean that he didn't know how to judge people well, and there wouldn't be any harm done. What He Mei Li said before was also not wrong at all, many people wanted her, including rich bosses, but He Mei Li just wasn't moved, she loved money, but she also looked at the person.

  "Hmph! You're fat and out of breath, let's just drop it!" The waiter brought the dishes over, and the two began eating in silence.

  At this time, a shabbily dressed man walked in from outside the door. He saw Li You Ran through the transparent glass and was like seeing a lifesaver, immediately running to the entrance wanting to come in and find Li You Ran.

  That's right, this is the appraiser who ran to the door and was unexpectedly stopped by the two security guards at the door. They would rather die than let someone like him into the store, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do their job.

  Just as a few people were arguing, the appraiser pointed at Li You Ran and said: "I am his friend! I encountered robbers on the road and became like this. Let me in!"

  "Sorry, sir! I really can't let you in like this. Would you like me to call your friend out instead? What do you think?" The security guard didn't forcibly throw the person out, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to.

  "That's okay! You go ahead, I'll wait outside."

  The two people in the store were eating deliciously, and it had to be said that the taste of this steak was still good. It reminded him of his mother's braised pork belly, and he couldn't help but think what the chef would think if he heard this.

  When the two were about to finish eating, the pianist also finished playing and came down from the stage, bowing in response to the applause of the crowd, then preparing to leave. Li You Ran was also a person who loved excitement, seeing others clapping, naturally wanted to join in on the fun, otherwise it would seem that the host had no taste.

  As a result, he looked up and saw that it was actually the salesgirl who exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? How is it you?"

  Tang Mingling was also surprised to see Li You Ran, didn't expect to run into him here, it seems like a great opportunity! Originally thought he would call himself, but waited and waited, couldn't wait any longer, had given up hope, but ended up running into him, looks like there's still fate after all.

  "Boss Li! I didn't expect to see you here! Come to eat?"

  He Meili looked at Tang Mingying, who had stopped in her tracks, and felt a sense of crisis rising up within her. She had a premonition that this woman would be her arch-nemesis. She had already resigned herself to accepting Li You Ran, but now another woman appeared out of nowhere! And what's more, she was a beautiful woman - the situation was getting increasingly dire!

  "Really! I didn't expect you to be performing here? Is this a part-time job?" Li You Ran asked, remembering that this person was a saleswoman, and he had even bought a villa from her.

  "No choice! Just making a living, it's not like I get to meet customers like you every day. Sometimes I don't even sell a few sets in a month, and that salary of 1,200 is barely enough to use. If my parents hadn't forced me to learn piano when I was young, I probably wouldn't even be able to do this job."

  Tang Mingling smiled and explained that a well-fitted evening gown outlined her perfect figure, and her lightly made-up face looked elegant and refined.

  "No wonder Mom took a liking to her! Indeed, an old ginger is still spicy. Li You Ran couldn't help but admire his mom's taste in people, and it wasn't until now that he realized the other person had been standing up and talking to him all along."

  Immediately confessed and said: "Ah! Sorry, sorry! Look at my brain! Come sit down, let's have a meal together. Waiter, bring another serving like this one."

  "It's still not possible! The two of you, how can I bear to disturb you?" She said so, but she immediately sat down anyway.

  Li You Ran didn't pay attention to these and just said: "I ordered food, if you don't eat it I won't be able to finish so much."

  He Mei Li gazed at this uninvited guest with vigilant eyes, what's going on, how did such a woman appear out of nowhere? Her whole body exuded an aura of evil, just looking at her wasn't pleasant.

  Li You Ran didn't notice anything off between the two women at all, and enthusiastically introduced them to each other. He Mei Li just gave a fake smile in response, she didn't like her one bit. Relying on her woman's intuition, she could sense that this woman was there to steal her man.

  Tang Mingying smiled elegantly and then extended her hand, saying: "Nice to meet you, Miss He. You're really lucky to have Mr. Li as your boyfriend."

  As expected, Li You Ran was very happy to hear this sentence and became more enthusiastic. What made Li You Ran even happier was that He Mei Li surprisingly did not object to her statement about Tang Ming Ling.

  Just as the three people were chatting with their own thoughts, a waiter came in and whispered to Li You Ran's ear: "Sir, there is someone at the door who claims to be your friend and wants to see you. If not, we will drive him away. Disturbing your meal is really sorry."

  Li You Ran turned around and saw the person outside the glass, indeed a bit familiar! After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had seen him at Da Jin Jewelry. He said to the waiter: "It's okay! It's really my friend, I'll go take a look."

  "Sorry! I see a friend! I'll go out for a bit, you guys chat slowly." Li You Ran's departure was equivalent to clearing the battlefield.

  "I heard you're a real estate agent? I've heard there are many unwritten rules in the industry! Don't know if you have any too! Ah, sorry, I'm a straightforward person, don't get angry if I offend you!"

  He Meili was secretly angry, and Tang Mingying naturally wasn't a fool either, immediately counterattacking.

  "It's okay! It's indeed a lot! However, I just started my career and the first house I sold was bought by Mr. Li! At first, I was quite nervous, thinking about what if Mr. Li had special requirements? As it turned out, I worried for nothing. There are not many young, wealthy, and well-mannered men like Mr. Li! I still quite like him."

  The meaning is obvious! She has taken a liking to this man! When buying the house, it wasn't mentioned, otherwise she would have swallowed Li You Ran whole by now.

  Her beautiful eyebrows were about to burn up, and she secretly cursed "Cheap woman, dare to compete with me for a man!"

  "On the surface, she said with a gentle smile: 'Yes! From my understanding of You Ran, he is indeed a gentleman. However, I just like him this way! It's also hard for him to chase me for so long.'"

  Don't even think about it! This man is already mine. He has been chasing me for a long time, and as soon as I nod my head, he will immediately marry me.

  "My goodness! I always thought you were a girlfriend, but it turns out you're not! No wonder......"

  Tang Mingying wanted to speak but hesitated, and He Meili couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

  "No big deal, no wonder Mrs. Li asked for my phone number and asked me what I thought of her son! I thought Mr. Li was a person who eats from the bowl but looks at the pot! Now it seems that I misunderstood, this is good too."

  Her beautiful face was exposed with a hint of anger, what's the point of this? It's clear that she's going to snatch men openly now. The most important thing is that her words revealed an important piece of information, which is that Li You Ran's mother seems to have already acknowledged Tang Mingying! But he hasn't even met Li You Ran's parents yet! Damn it, he's lost the first round before the battle has even begun.
