Ming Zhou never expected Chen Jing to be so wild. Just as he was about to defend Lin Mei, she cut him off. Lin Mei looked at Chen Jing and said, "Go back now, or I'll call your parents."
Chen Jing feared her parents. When Lin Mei mentioned her parents, Chen Jing became scared. However, unwilling to give up, Chen Jing returned to find Xing Zheng. "Mr. Xing, I don't want to leave..."
"Listen to your sister-in-law." Xing Zheng glanced meaningfully at Lin Mei, emphasizing the word "sister-in-law," as if to remind her of something.
Chen Jing scoffed, "She hugs and kisses other men behind my brother's back, how can she be a sister-in-law? I'm going back to tell my brother to dump her."
Xing Zheng's gaze flickered and he happened to see Ming Zhou tidying Lin Mei's clothes. He smiled and said, "Perhaps there's a misunderstanding. Let's go, I'll see you downstairs."
Chen Jing was naturally delighted that Xing Zheng wanted to escort her personally. After they left, the people in the private room chuckled and teased, "Brother Zheng really dotes on this little lover."
"Of course, I've never seen him bring anyone here before."
"The problem is, this girl is just average-looking. I wonder what aspect conquered Brother Zheng, haha."
"As long as she knows how to serve, you didn't see her throwing herself into his arms just now, her skills are extraordinary."
Lin Mei knew that when men gathered, they couldn't help but discuss such topics. These people were notorious second-generation rich kids, and she couldn't afford to offend them, so she pretended not to hear.
"Do you want to go to the guest room upstairs to clean up?" Ming Zhou saw Lin Mei's disheveled state and thought it wouldn't be appropriate to go out like this.
"No..."
Just as Lin Mei was about to refuse, Xing Zheng returned at some point and said enthusiastically, "I have guest rooms upstairs. I've just informed the manager to prepare some clothes. Manager Lin should go up and tidy up, so as not to be laughed at when you go out."
Ming Zhou understood after hearing this and exclaimed in surprise, "Xing Zheng, do you know Lin Mei?"
Xing Zheng nodded and said professionally, "The company has business dealings with Nanjiang Bank, and I've met Manager Lin a few times."
He paused and chuckled, "But I didn't expect you two to know each other as well."
"Lin Mei, I'll have a waiter take you upstairs to tidy up."
Ming Zhou's intentions were good, and Lin Mei didn't want to listen to Xing Zheng's sarcastic remarks here, so she followed the waiter.

Ming Zhou and Xing Zheng were college classmates and had a good relationship. After they sat down, Ming Zhou asked Xing Zheng, "Are you serious about that Chen Jing?" Xing Zheng just smiled without answering and retorted, "Why don't you tell me about yourself first?"
Ming Zhou replied, "What is there for me to say? I've been a bachelor for many years, unlike you who's always surrounded by women."
Xing Zheng smiled playfully, "Are you really a bachelor, or is there someone in your heart? Senior and junior, you have quite the flair."
Ming Zhou laughed at Xing Zheng's words, "I'm truly afraid of you; nothing escapes your eyes."
"Do you like her?" Xing Zheng asked.
Ming Zhou was still smiling, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face, "It's a pity she has a boyfriend, and they seem to be very much in love."
"You said 'seem to be'," Xing Zheng said lightly, "Who knows what they're like in private."
Ming Zhou felt that Xing Zheng's words had a hidden meaning. Since he was also a client of the bank, did he know something?
Ming Zhou asked Xing Zheng, "Did you see something?"

The VIP service at the pub was excellent. Lin Mei went upstairs to take a shower. As she was getting dressed, the door to the guest room suddenly opened.
She had just fastened the bottom few buttons of her shirt, and her bra was still exposed. Seeing Xing Zheng approaching, Lin Mei quickly covered her chest and instinctively retreated.
But it was useless. Xing Zheng had already reached her with his long strides, grabbed her waist, and pulled her arms away. His eyes were fixed on her chest, and he commented with a fiery gaze, "This color is also good."
Lin Mei felt like tearing him apart. How could there be such a lecherous man? He was flirting with Chen Jing downstairs just now, and now he came up to find her.
Lin Mei pushed him away, "You're so dirty, stay away from me."
Xing Zheng narrowed his eyes, smiling, but his tone was dangerous, "What did you say?"
His demeanor was somewhat intimidating, but Lin Mei was truly disgusted. She retorted stubbornly, "I said you're dirty."
Xing Zheng directly pulled her shirt down. It was only buttoned a few times, and with a tug, it came off easily.
Xing Zheng grabbed Lin Mei and pushed her against the dressing mirror. He pinched her chin from behind, forcing her to look up, "You've been with me several times, and you have the nerve to call me dirty."
Just as Lin Mei was about to curse, her phone rang. Xing Zheng casually picked up the phone from the cabinet.
The screen clearly displayed "Xuezhang" (Senior).
Xing Zheng murmured with a low chuckle, "He probably wants to hear you moan too. Perfect timing."
With that, he answered the call for her and held the phone to her ear.
