Sun Qian was also awakened by Chen Xuerou and Lin Feng's conversation.
She opened her eyes and looked at Chen Xuerou, who looked wronged, and said, "Xuerou, how can you doubt me and little brother Lin Feng? You're not pure. As a good sister, am I the type of person to steal a best friend's boyfriend?"
To Sun Qian's surprise, Chen Xuerou actually nodded seriously, "Yes, you really are! You need a man so much, maybe you've done something I'm sorry for with Lin Feng."
"You good-for-nothing Xue Rou, if you say that, then little brother Lin Feng and I won't be fooling around privately anymore. We'll be intimate in front of you from now on!"
As she spoke, Sun Qian deliberately got up and hugged Lin Feng's arm, rubbing her chest against his arm a few times.
"You dead Qianqian, hurry up and stop! I don't doubt you two anymore, stop messing around!"
Chen Xuerou couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled away Sun Qian's arm that was holding Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled so widely that he couldn't close his mouth, watching the two women compete for his attention.
"Alright, you two sisters play amongst yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll be going."
Lin Feng thought of Xu Lin's matter, believing that Xu Zhe should be almost recovered after taking the medicine he prescribed.
Next, he had to figure out how to gain Xu Lin's favor.
He had to admit that this task was quite challenging for Lin Feng.
Xu Lin was different from most women. For ordinary women, Lin Feng only needed to spend money to gain their favor.
However, based on his previous experience of giving Xu Lin gifts, Lin Feng knew that Xu Lin was not a woman who loved money.
Even after he cured Xu Zhe, Xu Lin's favorability towards him only started from zero.
Therefore, this woman was truly difficult to handle!
Fortunately, Lin Feng had many girls around him, and he had accumulated considerable experience in pleasing them.
To gain Xu Lin's favor, he first needed to understand her personality and preferences clearly. Only then could he find the right direction to approach her.
With a plan in mind, Lin Feng instructed Mu Bei to retrieve Xu Lin's personal information.
The information was not extensive but was very comprehensive.
After reviewing Xu Lin's personal profile, Lin Feng gradually understood why Xu Lin was so unique.
It turned out that Xu Lin had a very difficult background. Her parents had died in an accident when she was in her teens.
She and her younger brother, Xu Zhe, were left to depend on each other. To take care of Xu Zhe, Xu Lin studied and worked part-time.
Such tragic experiences made Xu Lin mature much earlier than girls her age.
As the saying goes, talent often emerges from humble beginnings. Through diligence and effort, Xu Lin was admitted to the Film Academy with the highest score in the province during the college entrance examination.
While in the Film Academy, she worked as an extra while studying, laying a solid foundation for her future acting career.
As opportunities favor those who are prepared, the acting skills honed through her work as an extra allowed Xu Lin to begin making a name for herself in the film and television industry, gaining public recognition with a small role.
Then, she was unstoppable. She was repeatedly recognized by major directors and starred in many excellent film and television dramas.
Unlike other celebrities, after becoming famous, Xu Lin maintained her serious and dedicated attitude, never accepting bad films and only choosing good scripts.
Even if the pay was low, as long as the script was good and the role was challenging, Xu Lin would unhesitatingly choose to perform.
It was precisely this attitude that earned Xu Lin the admiration of more fans.
In her years in the industry, Xu Lin had no negative news and no scandals with any male celebrities or directors.
She remained chaste and untainted by the vulgarity of the world.
However, at the peak of her acting career, her first love boyfriend began to slander her through public opinion to gain popularity.
At that time, Xu Lin experienced the darkest moment of her life. She had no work, and public opinion overwhelmingly condemned Xu Lin as a scheming bitch.
Facing her first love boyfriend's frame-up, Xu Lin did not respond but chose to lay low.
During her period of seclusion, Xu Lin devoted herself to charity, volunteering at orphanages and performing in rural areas.
She still loved life and acting.
It seemed that heaven favored the kind. After a year of staying out of the spotlight, Xu Lin's private charitable work was exposed.
Xu Lin's public image began to improve. When the media asked Xu Lin why she didn't respond to the earlier scandal, Xu Lin said a memorable sentence.
"The outside world has nothing to do with me. As long as my family is safe and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, I am content."
This short statement was both plain and powerful.
This attitude of not contending for fame or fortune earned Xu Lin more admiration.
Since then, Xu Lin had left the public with the impression of a cool and aloof goddess.
Even Lin Feng, after reading Xu Lin's personal information, genuinely admired Xu Lin, this self-reliant and self-improving woman.
As the public said, Xu Lin was a clear stream in the entertainment industry. You might not like her, but you could not become her, nor could you defeat her.
Just as Lin Feng was viewing Xu Lin's profile, Sun Qian sent him a WeChat message.
"Lin Feng, Xu Lin gave me an address and said she wants to invite you for a casual meal."
"Did you agree to help Xu Lin while I was asleep?"
Facing Sun Qian's inquiry, Lin Feng didn't know how to answer.
It was too embarrassing and too damaging to his image.
"No, perhaps she wants to continue asking me to treat her brother."
Lin Feng covered up guiltily.
"Is that so? Then you decide for yourself. I'm just a messenger. I've sent you the address."
Sun Qian didn't think much of it and sent the restaurant's address to Lin Feng before falling silent.
Lin Feng followed the address.
He had expected that Xu Lin, a big star, would treat him to something good, but he didn't expect it to be a roadside fly-infested restaurant.
The small restaurant was not large, and even the signboard was dilapidated. It seemed to be a small business that had been around for some years.
When Lin Feng arrived at the restaurant entrance, he saw a white domestic sedan parked outside.
Seeing Lin Feng appear, the car door opened, and out stepped Xu Lin, dressed in casual wear.
Xu Lin was dressed very casually, wearing a black and white checkered jacket over a knitted sweater.
On her long legs was a pair of faded blue jeans, and on her feet were sports shoes.
As if feeling a bit cold, Xu Lin also wore a black scarf around her neck.
Her jet-black hair was neatly spread behind her head, her delicate face was free of makeup, and she wore no hat or mask.
She gave the impression of a girl next door, very approachable and refreshingly pure.
"Miss Xu, are you alone?"
Lin Feng was surprised that Xu Lin was meeting him alone for a meal.
After all, Xu Lin was a big star, and it was too unsafe for her to go out alone.
"Yes, just me. I gave my assistant a day off. Her family is from Qingcheng, so she's going back to see her parents."
Xu Lin replied calmly and led Lin Feng into the small, humble restaurant.
"Linlin, when did you get back to Qingcheng? Your aunt and I haven't seen you in over a year!"
As soon as they entered, the uncle of the restaurant recognized Xu Lin and greeted her warmly.
"Uncle Chen, I just returned to Qingcheng. As soon as I got back, I missed our home cooking, so I brought a friend to try it."
Xu Lin replied with a smile.
"Alright, then it's the usual three dishes, right?"
Uncle Chen glanced at Lin Feng, who had accompanied Xu Lin, and asked tentatively.
"Yes, bring one serving of the usual three dishes first, and then I'll let my friend see if there's anything else he wants to eat."
Xu Lin nodded, and after sitting down with Lin Feng, she pushed the menu towards him.
Lin Feng took the menu, took a look, and didn't stand on ceremony, ordering a few dishes casually.
"Alright, I'll start cooking now. You guys have some hot water first."
Uncle Chen brought over the hot water and went to the kitchen to cook.
"Mr. Lin, I really have to thank you this time. My brother has gotten much better after taking the medicine you prescribed."
"He asked me to apologize to you. He was wrong about what happened before. Thank you for being so magnanimous."
Xu Lin said sincerely.
"It's nothing. I treated him solely because of you. He doesn't need to apologize to me."
Lin Feng said nonchalantly.
Xu Lin didn't reply, just quietly drank the plain water.
"Miss Xu, can I take a look at the bracelet you're wearing on your wrist?"
Lin Feng noticed the red agate bracelet on Xu Lin's fair wrist.
The red agate was very conspicuous and formed a stark contrast with Xu Lin's fair skin, catching Lin Feng's eye immediately.
Of course, what truly interested Lin Feng was that this bracelet made him feel uncomfortable at first glance.
"You can. It's not anything valuable."
Xu Lin didn't think much of it and took off the bracelet, handing it to Lin Feng.
As the bracelet entered his hand, Lin Feng felt an aura of malevolence from it.
He activated his precognitive ability, and a scene appeared in his mind: Xu Lin would be invaded by this malevolent energy while sleeping at night.
In the near future, Xu Lin would fall ill and become increasingly haggard, eventually leading to death.
"Miss Xu, may I boldly ask where you got this bracelet?"
Lin Feng realized that this bracelet was an ominous object and suspected that someone had deliberately used it to harm Xu Lin.
