Ling Yanran, who was walking while playing with her phone and tapping the screen to reply to messages, was startled when she heard his voice. Her hands trembled and her phone dropped to the ground.
"Lin Beichen! You...why are you here?!"
Seeing Lin Beichen, Ling Yanran looked shocked and panicked.
Picking up the phone from the ground, Ling Yanran lowered her voice in an annoyed voice, "Are you following me?!"
Lin Beichen was a little confused and didn't react. Why did Ling Yanran say this?
Looking around like a thief, Ling Yanran said fiercely: "You are cruel! You actually found this place!"
"Lin Beichen! We'll meet you at the coffee shop near the hotel in half an hour. I'll just give you the money! Don't bargain with me, or I'll call someone over and kick you out of the hotel!"
“The security at this hotel is not a vegetarian!”
Lin Beichen understood that Ling Yanran had mistakenly thought that he showed up at the Huanyu Hotel specifically to find her.
"You're calling someone." Lin Beichen said disdainfully.
Ling Yanran's expression changed, "You...you threaten me? Li Beichen, you were not like this before..."
"Isn't all this thanks to you?" Lin Beichen sneered, not having any good impressions of his predecessor.
Ling Yanran was anxious and said quickly: "What do you want?!"
"Okay, you win...I'll give you this chance. Let's talk clearly today so that you don't bother me again in the future."
After saying that, Ling Yanran reached out to pull Lin Beichen, wanting him to leave here with her.
"Don't touch me!"
Lin Beichen frowned, but in exchange for Ling Yanran's disdainful sneer: "You are pretty good at pretending, have you forgotten how you begged me before?"
"Your original attempt to redeem yourself was nothing more than a joke in my opinion!"
Facing Ling Yanran's aggressiveness, Lin Beichen smiled faintly: "So what, what needs to be explored has been explored. You have no secrets from me."
"When I tried to save her, it was just because I was young and angry, and it was too empty at night. I didn't have money to call an outsider, don't you think so?"
Lin Beichen's mocking words made Ling Yanran's pretty face turn blue and white all of a sudden. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Is this still the Lin Beichen from before?
Soon, the two of them arrived at the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel. This kind of high-end hotel usually has a supporting lounge and coffee booths.
Lin Beichen and Ling Yanran sat opposite each other.
Afraid of being seen by people she knew, Ling Yanran deliberately chose a remote seat in the back.
She was wearing an OL skirt today, a high-end sexy white-collar outfit.
Lin Beichen's clothes were incompatible with the atmosphere here.
At this moment, Ling Yanran had a strong sense of superiority in front of Lin Beichen, and she looked at him with a condescending look.
There were no unnecessary pleasantries. Ling Yanran looked impatient. After ordering two cups of coffee, she went straight to a showdown with Lin Beichen.
"You really ran back to Jinling, don't you think it's embarrassing?"
"Lin Beichen! If I were you, the wisest choice now is to stay in Dongyang, be a son-in-law to the Mo family, and live a life of soft rice!"
"If you don't have any ability, it's better to suffer a little anger there than to have your head broken and bloody here!"
Ling Yanran sneered mercilessly.
Lin Beichen was too lazy to explain anything to her, and just listened silently.
There were some things that he was quite suspicious of now that he thought about them.
When the company collapsed, why did Ling Yanran trick him into giving the life-saving money to his father Lin Lancang?
"What if I said that bumping into you at the World Hotel today was just a coincidence?" Lin Beichen smiled and said.
Ling Yanran sneered disdainfully: "Lin Beichen, you are so capable! Why are you pretending to me!"
"You alone deserve to live here? Oh, don't be ridiculous. Even you, who was a little rich before, are not qualified to live in the World Hotel."
Seeing that Lin Beichen was still trying to save face in front of her, Ling Yanran simply spoke more directly.
"It's also for your own good that I won't let you come to Jinling."
"Lin Beichen, we all have a new life now. If you pester me like this, you will be the unlucky one in the end. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't understand either."
Lin Beichen listened, unmoved at all, and then slowly spoke.
"By the way, what's your position at Tengda now?" Lin Beichen asked suddenly.
After not seeing her for a few months, she was so arrogant. Lin Beichen was curious about where she got her confidence.
"Why, are you envious of my current achievements?"
Ling Yanran was like a proud golden phoenix: "Lin Beichen, you can't compare with others, just give up. I have only been in Tengda for half a year, and now I am an assistant in the advertising department.
And…I’m going to be promoted again soon, Assistant to the President’s Office!”
"When I become the assistant to the president's office, I will become a senior executive of Tengda. The annual salary and bonus combined will be much more than the annual profit of your previous shabby company when it was at its best!"
Master Ling Yanran's tone became increasingly unpleasant.
"Assistant to the President's Office...it turns out you haven't been promoted yet. You said you were promoted before." Lin Beichen touched his chin.
"Well, since you are so rich, you should pay back the money you borrowed from me, right?"
Lin Beichen's plain words made Ling Yanran's pretty face sink.
"Are you really here to ask me for money?" Ling Yanran's pretty face was full of disgust, her eyes widened.
"It's only natural to borrow debt and pay back money. I should have asked you for it a long time ago, but... it's not too late now."
The amount of money was not large, but for Lin Beichen at the time, he suddenly received the news that his father was seriously ill and had to sell all the remaining assets of the company to get the money. It was life-saving money!
But Ling Yanran actually found an excuse to "borrow" the money from him.
Then, she even tricked him into returning to Dongyang first, promising to return it to him.
As a result, the longer Lin Beichen waited, the more desperate he became, and finally he gave up on this love completely!
That was the last straw that broke the previous owner of this body, so Lin Beichen died, with obsession and unwillingness to disappear.
"OK, if I pay you back the money, you will completely disappear from my sight and you will never harass me again."
Ling Yanran's eyes flashed, eager to get rid of Lin Beichen, a troublemaker, so she negotiated terms.
"If I didn't look for you, how could I easily forgive you if you did such excessive things to me?" Lin Beichen sneered.
"You...are you planning to play rogue with me? Lin Beichen, I never expected that you are such a person. I was really blind back then, and I chose to be with you!"
"Bring the money, don't give me any nonsense." Lin Beichen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Meeting Lin Beichen's eyes, Ling Yanran felt a chill in her heart. Suddenly, her body trembled, and the coffee in her hand spilled out, leaving stains on her clothes.
Looking at the cold eyes, Ling Yanran finally felt scared. Lin Beichen in front of her was completely different from before.
"I, I will pay you back, but it will take some time. I don't have much savings now, so I have to find a way to get it for you..." Ling Yanran gave in temporarily, looking pitiful and about to cry.
But Lin Beichen just looked at her with disgust, "Ling Yanran, don't waste my little patience."
"I really have no money... You know, I spend a lot of money. It's been less than half a year since we broke up. Although I'm going well in Tengda and my income is good, I really have no savings..."
Ling Yanran took out a card from the limited edition LV bag she carried with her and handed it to Lin Beichen, "There is less than 20,000 yuan left in this card. It is my only savings. I give it to you, give it all to you!"
Lin Beichen looked at her with oppressive eyes. Ling Yanran's mind went blank. She didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and racked her brains to think about how to overcome this difficulty.
She had an idea and thought of an idea, "Lin Beichen, you just came to Jinling and you don't have a job yet, right? I'll help you find a job. Just when we get bigger... our affairs will be unclear for a while.
Let’s talk about it later, what do you think?”
"As you said before, the cleaner of the toilet?" Lin Beichen said with a half-smile.
"No!" Ling Yanran quickly denied.
"Oh, what kind of job is that?" Lin Beichen asked casually.
"Security! Come to our Tengda as a security guard. I will find connections to place you in, and you can enter Tengda!"
