On the morning of the second day, Xie Qi first came to an inn, and then changed into a set of clothes that was completely different from the usual style of the young master of the Xie family.
The Tang suit was plain and low-key, with none of the luxury and ostentation that a rich young man usually wears.
At the same time, he also deliberately wore a wide-brimmed hat with the brim pulled down very low, and the white scarf almost covered most of his face.
When he stepped into the teahouse, he quickly scanned the surroundings and soon locked onto his target.
Xie Qi walked up to Mei Lin, who was leisurely sipping tea in the corner. Without saying a word, he reached into his pocket, took out a badge, and handed it to Mei Lin.
Mei Lin was slightly startled when he saw this. He had originally thought he would be able to see the true face of Master Xie's lover, but he never expected that the person in front of him had his face covered tightly.
Mei Lin stood up and said, "I know you. Master Xie told me to show your face first so I can see your face."
Xie Qi: "I'll let you see it after I put on my makeup, not now."
Mei Lin frowned when he heard this. He hadn't expected this man to be so mysterious, but it was hard to say anything. He just nodded and replied, "That's fine."
Xie Qi said to Mei Lin straight away, "Prepare a room for me. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
Mei Lin hesitated for a moment, then responded, "Okay, but I don't know what to call you."
Xie Qi thought for a moment and replied, "Just call me Mr. Qi."
Mei Lin nodded, indicating that he understood: "Okay."
Mei Lin then led Xie Qi upstairs. Soon, they arrived in front of a room.
When you push open the door, what comes into view is a room full of various accessories and gorgeous costumes.
At this time, Mei Lin looked at the people in the room and ordered, "Pack your things and move to the next room. From now on, this room is exclusively for Mr. Qi."
Lan'er, who was sitting at the dressing table, didn't move an inch when she heard this. She continued fiddling with her hair in front of the mirror, twisting her slender waist, and muttered disdainfully, "Oh, who on earth is this? How could she be so noble?"
Mei Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this, and lowered his voice to kindly advise, "Lan'er, just be quiet! This person is not someone you can easily provoke."
Lan Er, however, didn't take it seriously. She snorted and retorted, "Hmph, Boss Mei, don't you understand? The Lady is very concerned about me now. Is there anyone in this city that I can't offend?"
However, Meilin had no reaction to Lan'er's words, and even showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
Everyone knows that the Madam is now closely related to the Xie family. Compared with Lan'er, the actress, the Madam obviously values the various benefits that the Xie family can bring more.
Mei Lin's tone became a little stiff: "Lan'er, don't forget that you haven't been redeemed yet. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble for no reason, you'd better obey my arrangements obediently."
Lan'er looked up at Meilin, who suddenly looked serious. Although she was extremely reluctant, she didn't dare to say anything more and could only stand up in disappointment.
Just as Lan'er was about to step over the high threshold, Meilin suddenly spoke again without warning, "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Your performance scheduled for today has been cancelled. Mr. Qi will be taking your place on stage."
When Lan'er heard this, the calm expression on her face instantly disappeared. She widened her eyes and asked angrily, "Why?"
Mei Lin: "I'm the boss. I say who goes on stage, and that's who goes on stage."
Lan Er was clearly furious. She pointed at Mei Lin and shouted, "Those people in the audience are all here for me! You're actually letting a newbie take my place? Aren't you afraid of offending others?"
After saying this, Lan'er suddenly turned her head and cast her gaze on Xie Qi who had been sitting quietly in the corner.
She looked him up and down, her eyes filled with disdain and ridicule, and she sneered mercilessly, "Where on earth are you from? How could you be so capable as to be squeezed in here, and even take my place? Look at how tightly wrapped you are. Could it be that your family thinks you're embarrassing and forbids you from showing up in public..."
However, facing Lan'er's barrage of questions and sarcasm, Xie Qi seemed to be out of the matter and sat quietly on the chair from beginning to end.
After all, for such boring quarrels, it is enough to let Meilin handle it. There is no need to waste time arguing with others.
Mei Lin's expression darkened after hearing Lan'er's outrageous words. He quickly walked over to Lan'er and warned her in a low voice, "Stop talking! Do you know who he belongs to? There are some things you can't just casually discuss or provoke."
Lan Er: "I am still Madam Taijun's person! Madam Taijun said a long time ago that she would redeem me in a few days. He is so shameless..."
Mei Lin: "Shut up! If you don't want the Taijun to dislike you and not redeem you in the future, you'd better not offend him."
Mei Lin subconsciously lowered his voice as he spoke, and leaned close to Lan'er's ear, whispering, "He's Young Master Xie's man. Do you think the Lady will offend the Xie family for you? Think about it carefully."
Lan Er was completely stunned when she heard this. She looked at Mei Lin in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.
After all, she knew very well that she was just an actor of low status who had not yet redeemed herself, and this seemingly insignificant person in front of her actually had such a powerful backer.
