Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Grilled Fish Banquet
Long Chen and Song Haoyu, led by two men in suits, walked into Zheng Wenbin’s presidential suite.
The Shencheng Grand Hotel is owned by the Zheng family.
This presidential suite also serves as Zheng Wenbin’s office.
Zheng Wenbin was sitting behind a desk, looking at the documents just delivered by the manager.
“Young Master, Young Master Long and his friend are here,” the two men in suits said respectfully to Zheng Wenbin, who sat behind the desk.
Zheng Wenbin looked up and said to the two staff members, “Arrange guest rooms for Young Master Long and his friend.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The two staff members agreed and placed Long Chen and Song Haoyu’s bags on the luggage rack.
Then, they left the suite and closed the door.
“Long Chen, please have a seat! And how should I address your friend?” Zheng Wenbin stood up from his chair and walked over, speaking to Long Chen.
Long Chen pointed at Song Haoyu and said, “Cousin, this is Young Master Song Haoyu from the Song family in Huadu.”
“So, you’re the Young Master from the Song family, nice to meet you!” Zheng Wenbin smiled and extended his hand to Song Haoyu.
Song Haoyu shook Zheng Wenbin’s hand and said, “Hello, Young Master Zheng!”
After the three of them sat down, Zheng Wenbin brewed each of them a cup of Longjing tea and said, “Now that you’ve come to Shencheng for summer vacation, have a great time here.”
Long Chen laughed and said, “Cousin, don’t worry! We will have a great time.”
Then, Long Chen asked Zheng Wenbin, “By the way, cousin, why haven’t I seen my cousin sister?”
Zheng Wenbin shook his head and said, “Your cousin? I don’t know where she is either. Why don’t you give her a call?”
Long Chen nodded, “Sure, I was planning to ask her to show me around Shencheng.”
“Yes, let her be your tour guide,” Zheng Wenbin said with a smile.
Long Chen then took out his phone to call Zheng Yutong.
At this moment, Zheng Wenbin’s phone also rang.
Zheng Wenbin looked at his phone and saw it was a call from Liu Xuan.
At the welcome dinner last night for Liu Xuan, he mentioned that he wanted to take Zheng Yutong out today.
Could it be that Liu Xuan and my sister Yutong had a conflict?
Is that why Liu Xuan is calling me?
Zheng Wenbin thought about his sister’s aversion to Liu Xuan, and he also didn’t inform his sister, just gave Liu Xuan her room number.
He felt a slight concern.
Zheng Wenbin told Long Chen and Song Haoyu that he was going to take a call, then walked to the suite’s balcony to answer it.
“Hello, Brother Liu, how is the date with my sister going today, is everything going well?” Zheng Wenbin asked.
In another presidential suite of the same hotel.
Liu Xuan sat in front of a sofa, with Liu Bing’s phone on the table, playing a video.
In the video, Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, Liu Wei, and Zheng Yutong were barbecuing fish in the yard of a villa, the two pairs of men and women were chatting and laughing.
Especially in the later scenes, Liu Wei and Zheng Yutong were feeding grilled fish to Lin Fei and Xiao Ling.
The scene was warm, romantic, and intimate.
Liu Xuan’s heart burned with rage, and his gaze turned dark.
He already felt it was odd that Liu Wei appeared on Beauty Island, and upon learning of his plot against Xiao Ling, he felt it was fishy.
Now, after watching the video, he realized Liu Wei had gone to Beauty Island with Lin Fei in the video.
Moreover, this Lin Fei seemed to be in cahoots with Xiao Ling.
What angered him was not just that the Zheng Yutong he liked was taken away by Xiao Ling, but also that his sister Liu Wei was with Lin Fei.
Liu Xuan felt he needed to find a way to stop them quickly, or the consequences would be serious.
This video was secretly filmed and sent by Liu Wu, the butler of the Liu family’s vacation villa on Beauty Island, as instructed by Liu Bing.
Moreover, Liu Bing had inquired about the long-haired woman sent to impersonate Xiao Ling’s girlfriend to frame him and found out that the four master-level experts sent to deal with Xiao Ling were all rendered powerless by Lin Fei.
This was why Liu Xuan decided to call Zheng Wenbin.
“Wenbin, I did want to take your sister out, but unfortunately, she made plans with another man—oh wait, her boyfriend,” Liu Xuan said with a forced smile over the phone.
Standing on the small balcony, Zheng Wenbin furrowed his brows at Liu Xuan’s clearly dissatisfied tone and said, “Brother Liu, that’s impossible! Yutong doesn’t have a boyfriend, could you be mistaken?”
“Mistaken? Your sister pointed at that guy and told me herself that’s her boyfriend—do you think I’d have misheard?” Liu Xuan’s voice came with a mocking tone over the phone.
Zheng Wenbin replied into the phone, “Brother Liu, where are you now? Why don’t we talk?”
Zheng Wenbin didn’t want his sister’s matter to disrupt the business cooperation between the Zheng and Liu families.
“I’m at the hotel. Are you also here? If so, I’ll come find you and show you something,” Liu Xuan said.
Zheng Wenbin said, “I am at the hotel, come on up, Brother Liu!”
In the room, Liu Xuan hung up the call and then picked up a glass of red wine from the table, downing it in one gulp.
“Liu Bing, bring the phone with you. Later let Zheng Wenbin take a good look,” Liu Xuan instructed Liu Bing, who stood by.
“Yes, Young Master.”
In the presidential suite.
Long Chen had just dialed Zheng Yutong’s number, and Zheng Yutong’s voice came through the phone, “Cousin, are you coming to Shencheng today?”
“Yes, cousin, I came all the way from Huadu to Shencheng, waiting for you to give me a warm reception. Why haven’t I seen you?” Long Chen said, somewhat reproachfully.
“Sorry, cousin, I’m not at the hotel right now, but if you’d arrived two hours earlier, you might have joined us for a fish barbecue feast.” Zheng Yutong laughed as she spoke.
On Beauty Island, in the Liu family’s vacation villa courtyard.
More than twenty grilled grouper, delicious in color, smell, and taste, lay on the barbecue rack.
These fish were caught by the guards of Jin Weiming.
Although Lin Fei asked them to fish from the sea, catching fish with just bare hands from the sea was impossible.
Butler Liu Wu saw them failing to catch a single fish after half an hour, so he had the guards return to the villa to get over a dozen fishing rods.
So after over an hour, the guards managed to get the ingredients for today’s grilled fish feast.
Of course, they caught the fish, but they weren’t the ones eating them.
Zheng Yutong, while talking to Long Chen on the phone, was also leaning close with a piece of grilled fish towards Xiao Ling, saying with concern, “Xiao Ling, have another grilled fish. You’re injured, eat more to get your nutrients back.”
“Yutong, you have one too.” Xiao Ling also offered a piece of grilled fish to Zheng Yutong.
Zheng Yutong playfully said, “I’m on the phone now, I’ll eat later!”
On the other end of the phone, Long Chen’s brows furrowed as if he couldn’t believe he just heard his cousin mention Xiao Ling’s name, and that the voice speaking with his cousin was indeed Xiao Ling?
But how could his cousin be with Xiao Ling?
Long Chen said into the phone, “Cousin, you go ahead and eat, and tonight I’ll wait for you to give me a welcome feast.”
“Alright, cousin, see you tonight.” With that, Zheng Yutong hung up the phone.
At this moment, Zheng Wenbin finished his call and returned from the balcony, just sitting back on the sofa.
The doorbell chimed with a “ding-dong” sound!
