Chapter 145: Game within a game

The place Wen Zhile was talking about was Heshun Hotel.

Yesterday she and her grandmother went to see a play. When they were leaving, they saw Xu Xiujie sneaking out of the theater and getting into a private car parked on the side of the road, so she hid and listened to the "car corner" for a while.

Perhaps it was because of his lucky status that he was lucky enough to hear Xu Xiujie and the stylishly dressed woman in the car making an appointment to go to the Heshun Hotel at noon today.

It's not clear whether they were going to eat or do something else.

Now that the opportunity has come to my door, there is absolutely no reason to let it slip away.

After leaving the school gate, Fang Mi heard the destination and took the bus with Wen Zhile.

After entering the hotel lobby, the manager came up to us quickly and said in a familiar tone, "Good afternoon, Miss Wen and Miss Fang. Are you coming to eat or rest today?"

The manager was the former manager of Wangjing Pavilion. Wen Zhile was familiar with him, but she didn't expect that the manager was also familiar with Fang Mi.

Fang Mi was a little surprised. She often came here to eat, and the meal fee at the Heshun Hotel was quite high. She didn't know Wen Zhile's background and was afraid of causing her to think too much, so she didn't mention that she often came here to eat on the way.

If she had known this, she would not have taken the bus but took a taxi instead.

The manager smiled and said, "We have just opened a buffet restaurant in our hotel. Would you like to try it?"

"Is the chef in the buffet the same as the one in the private room?" The three of them walked towards the elevator, and Fang Mi asked as they walked.

"Same, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Fang Mi then looked at Wen Zhile, and asked with a question in his red eyes: "Then let's go and give it a try?"

"OK."

The buffet restaurant was in the promotion stage, and the manager seemed to advertise whenever someone came. If Xu Xiujie came, he might have gone there too.

"This is a free meal voucher printed by our hotel for regular customers. It can be used to eat at the buffet restaurant for free once. Miss Wen, Miss Fang, here it is."

After handing out the coupons, the manager smiled and pressed the button to open the elevator: "The buffet restaurant is on the second floor. There are guides outside the elevator. Just follow the guides."

There were not only guides on the second floor, but also guide signs. The two of them did not let the guide lead the way and just followed the guide signs.

Knowing that Wen Zhile was also a regular customer, Fang Mi no longer had to worry about whether his words would offend others by "showing off his wealth", and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

The two of them chatted as they walked, and they arrived after just a few words.

There weren't many people in the buffet restaurant, the number of people could be counted on two hands. Among them was a foreign couple, and the others were also in pairs.

Wen Zhile saw Xu Xiujie and his female companion at a glance.

The two of them stood very close to each other. Xu Xiujie held a small cake in his hand and looked like he was going to feed it to his female companion.

She looked at Fang Mie, and as soon as her eyes fell on him, Fang Mie walked away quickly. Looking at her expression, Wen Zhile thought she was going to slap Xu Xiujie.

But the expected slapping sound did not sound. Fang Mi stopped in front of Xu Xiujie and his female companion and asked politely, "Who is this for?"

Xu Xiujie's eyes flashed with panic. Why did Fang Mi leave the school? Wasn't she busy with her final exams?

"house……"

"I'm his girlfriend, who are you?" Before Xu Xiujie finished speaking, his female companion interrupted, looked around the room, and sneered, "Xiujie, you still have such a poor friend."

"Sister, is this your first time to eat at Heshun? For Xiujie's sake, I'll treat you this meal."

Wen Zhile:?

No, did Xu Xiujie hook up with a nouveau riche?

Senior Fang doesn't look poor, does she? Ordinary people can't afford that down jacket, so why does his female companion seem to be deliberately trying to stir up trouble?

Fang Mi laughed: "Did I talk to you?"

She seems easy to talk to, but she also has a bad temper.

Xu Xiujie's brain was working quickly, and he made a comparison between the woman next to him and Fang Mi.

He has been successful in his recent pursuit of a house and is about to succeed. It would be a pity to give up now. However, Zhang Yan is an overseas Chinese who returned to China. Her family has plenty of money from business, and she only has a mother but no father.

If they get married, all her family's money will be his.

Marrying Fang Mi would not bring her a lot of money in the short term, but the Fang family's background in Jingzhou was beyond Zhang Yan's reach.

He could use the Fang family background to gain benefits. As long as he worked hard, it was not impossible for him to make money. It just required some thought and involved risks. Xu Xiujie kept jumping between the feeling that the money was within his grasp and the feeling of being terrified.

I wondered anxiously, how come I was discovered so quickly?

His original plan was to coax Zhang Yan into giving him money while cultivating his relationship with Fang Mi. Once he had enough money, he would kick Zhang Yan out and marry Fang Mi.

Ungraduated college students are a blank slate when it comes to relationships, and are very easy to please. As long as they have enough time, they are fully confident that they can maintain good relationships with both parties without being discovered. He has had many similar experiences over the years, and they have never been exposed.

"Are you mute?" Fang Mi asked coldly.

Xu Xiujie paused in his jump, gritted his teeth, and made a decision: "Student Fang, you have been busy recently, so I didn't have time to tell you. I just happened to meet you today, so I will introduce you to him."

He smiled and said, "This is my girlfriend Zhang Yan."

"We plan to get married next year, and you're welcome to come as a guest." He turned his eyes to Zhang Yan tenderly, "Yan Yan, this is a student I met in the theater. She lost her wallet when she went to see a play, and I helped her find it and introduced her to her."

Fang Mi listened to him summarizing their recent interactions in a few words and laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, you guys eat."

She turned and walked away.

Wen Zhile immediately chased after him.

The two of them walked out of the hotel one after another. Fang Mi waved to stop a taxi, and when Wen Zhile got in, he took a few deep breaths: "Zhile, do you want to go to karaoke? I know there's a good karaoke nearby."

Wen Zhile nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go."

They went to the same place and she accompanied Qiao Fei to sing the song they sang when they were kids.

The taxi drove out slowly, and the short man with the cat on the sofa in the hotel lobby ran quickly to a nearby telephone booth.

After the number was dialed, he stood up straight and said, "You guessed right."

"A female student who was familiar with Miss Fang heard Xu Xiujie and Zhang Yan's conversation yesterday, so she took Miss Fang to the Heshun Hotel for dinner."

"The manager led them to the buffet restaurant, where they ran into Xu Xiujie and Zhang Yan. Xu Xiujie chose Zhang Yan. Miss Fang and her friends left immediately and took a taxi, which was not heading to the school."

The sound of writing came from the microphone. When the writing stopped, the man said, "Got it. Let Zhang Yan come to see me."
