"She'll want to see me. Just tell her I said she'd want to see me."
Yang Meng felt a strange confidence, believing that this Lin Yan would want to meet her.
Song Minghao ignored her excessive self-assurance, not wanting to waste any more time.
"If you have nothing else, I'll be going. After I ask Yan Yan, if she genuinely wants to see you, she'll contact you."
As he spoke, Song Minghao prepared to stand up.
"What's it like dating Lin Yan?" Yang Meng looked up at Song Minghao, her gaze fixed.
"She's incredibly capable, rising from a financially supported figure to the owner of a massive business empire. How outstanding and dazzling is such a person?
She's someone you can't take your eyes off. Many people admire her, like her. As her boyfriend, do you feel inferior?"
"I don't. I love her for who she is, regardless of how much money she has!"
Song Minghao was unwilling to let anyone misunderstand his feelings for Lin Yan.
"But the gap between you will only widen. No matter how hard you try, you'll never close it."
Yang Meng looked at Song Minghao with earnest eyes, seemingly advising him with concern.
"I'm a prime example. My suitors have always showered me with attention, but the moment marriage is mentioned, they shy away.
They always seek a partner whose family background is comparable and who can assist them in their careers.
No matter how generous they are with you now, how many sweet words they say, when their interests clash, they'll abandon you without hesitation.
You directly announced your relationship this time. Lin Yan must be very angry, right!"
Yang Meng spoke gently, exuding an air of understanding.
"We will get married. Lin Yan is nothing like your suitors. And I won't depend on others for my living the way you do!"
Song Minghao didn't deny that Yang Meng had struck a nerve, but he trusted Lin Yan and believed she truly wanted to be with him!
"You don't need to say anything more. We are not the same kind of people. You don't need to find anyone to contact me in the future, and I don't want to see you again!"
With that, Song Minghao stood up and left the restaurant.
Yang Meng smiled faintly. She hadn't missed the slight flicker in Song Minghao's eyes, nor had she overlooked his clenched fists.
It seemed her guess was correct; there was a rift between Song Minghao and Lin Yan. Where there was a rift, water could slowly seep in and erode the structure.
Although she would avoid Lin Yan's spotlight if she truly confirmed that matter, she wouldn't miss any opportunity to cause Lin Yan trouble.
She was already in such a dire situation; how could she let Lin Yan live so happily and perfectly?
Even if their love was as strong as gold, the more they valued it, the more prone they would be to insecurity, wouldn't they?
Lin Yan, can you truly provide Song Minghao with enough security?
She eagerly awaited the outcome!
Upon returning, Song Minghao called Lin Yan and told her about Yang Meng's visit.
However, he only mentioned that Yang Meng wanted to see Lin Yan, not the words Yang Meng had spoken to him.
He was actually quite hesitant. After all, he was the one pursuing Lin Yan. While he was narcissistic enough to think he was exceptionally handsome,
there were plenty of good-looking people in the entertainment industry. He was young now, but in a few years, as his youth faded, would someone else take his place?
Yang Meng was right; Lin Yan was so exceptional—beautiful, elegant, and eloquent…
Every beautiful adjective applied to her would not feel out of place.
During her last livestream, her mere appearance had garnered countless declarations of love.
Could he truly hold all her attention forever?
"She wants to see me? She said she wants to apologize?" Lin Yan scoffed.
"Yes, she said that although she didn't do anything to you, your experience is somehow related to her, so she wants to meet you to apologize."
Song Minghao relayed Yang Meng's words to Lin Yan.
"Clever words!" Lin Yan praised, "She's completely absolved herself."
"I didn't want to see her, but I owed someone a favor, so I went."
"It's fine. If she can't reach me, finding you is the quickest way. You're in the same circle; she can always find you."
Lin Yan couldn't fathom why Yang Meng wanted to see her. Was it truly to apologize?
The female lead shouldn't be so naive as to believe an apology would lead to forgiveness! So, what was her true intention?
However, whatever Yang Meng's intentions, Lin Yan was prepared to meet her. The system had also issued a temporary mission for her to engage with this female lead.
To investigate the female lead's background; the mission offered a considerable number of points!
But even with the temporary mission, the negotiations between the system and the main god had yielded no results.
"Let's meet her. I'll have someone from Xin Chuang contact her."
"Won't there be any danger?"
Song Minghao was worried. He felt Yang Meng was not a simple woman and feared she might do or say something.
"It's fine. We'll decide the meeting place, and I'll bring bodyguards!"
Lin Yan tried to reassure Song Minghao. In truth, she also wanted to meet Yang Meng. Yang Meng probably knew something, otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on meeting her.
After deciding to meet Yang Meng, Lin Yan reviewed her schedule and instructed someone from Xin Chuang to contact Yang Meng to confirm the meeting time and location.
She chose a private, members-only restaurant owned by Fu Yuze's family, and had confirmed Yang Meng did not have a membership before booking it.
Although she was confident Yang Meng wouldn't do anything foolish, caution was the better part of valor. It was best to be fully prepared.
On the day of the appointment, Lin Yan arrived early and waited in the private room.
When the waiter brought Yang Meng to the door of the private room, Lin Yan stood up.
"Miss Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much about you!" Lin Yan smiled at the person whose expression had drastically changed.
However, Lin Yan couldn't understand why Yang Meng's face suddenly turned ashen, her lips trembling, as soon as she spoke.
Despite Yang Meng's reaction, Lin Yan maintained her etiquette and politely invited her to sit.
"I heard Miss Yang wished to see me. May I ask what brings the celebrated Miss Yang to meet with me, your substitute?"
Lin Yan deliberately spoke, not having forgotten the original owner's resentment. Therefore, she couldn't help but speak with a hint of sarcasm.
Indeed, Yang Meng bore a striking resemblance to Lin Yan's current face, especially with someone's deliberate styling.
Yang Meng's attire was not entirely in line with her usual style, nor did it make her look like a celebrity. It seemed somewhat similar to how she appeared in her original world.
For example, the jacket she was wearing now—Lin Yan seemed to own one just like it!
