Witches, please stop thinking about me!

"Liu Mei and I are business partners."

A calm voice rang out from among the group. After saying this, Lin Jiu ignored their reactions and looked at Liu Mei beside him.

"Let's go over to the ball."

Liu Mei looked at Lin Jiu, who had already begun to secretly compete with her, and her narrow eyes curved slightly.

"it is good."

Watching the two leave, and Li Molin following them around like a shadow, Zhao Changlin and the others frowned.

"Partners? Partners in what? Whose partners are practically inseparable?"

As Tang Qiu asked in confusion, Zhao Changlin's eyes were fixed on Lin Jiu.

He sensed a confrontation surrounding Liu Mei.

And Liu Mei seems to be deliberately allowing this kind of thing to happen.

And that kid wasn't lying; he and Liu Mei were indeed in a cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would have denied it long ago.

But what kind of working relationship would make Liu Mei so intimate with a man who looks like a college student?

Liu Mei is proud. In this situation, either Lin Jiu has the lifeline of Tianliu Group in his hands, or he has the lifeline of Liu Mei.

It is very likely that Liu Mei allowed herself to confront Lin Jiu for this very reason.

Recalling the thoughtful gaze that Liu Mei had just given Lin Jiu and herself, she realized that Liu Mei's eyes had been scanning Lin Jiu and herself with a pensive look.

So, is Liu Mei asking for help in this way?

Thinking of this, Zhao Changlin understood and decided to find out about Lin Jiu's background and then help Liu Mei get rid of this trouble.

Standing in front of the golf ball, Lin Jiu looked at the beautiful figure beside him with a puzzled expression.

"What, I only taught you once, and you still want to keep taking advantage of me?"

A mocking look came from behind the glasses, and Lin Jiu glanced at Liu Mei speechlessly.

She was the one who brought me to play ball, and she was also the one who initially wanted to teach me.

She's the one rejecting me now, does she have some serious illness...?

However, that teaching method certainly raises some questions...

Recalling the sensation of Liu Mei's voluptuous figure pressing against him, Lin Jiu coughed somewhat awkwardly.

Looking at Zhao Changlin who had followed her, Lin Jiu had a vague idea that she wanted to take her away from Zhao Changlin.

It has nothing to do with liking someone; it's probably related to lust, the cooperative relationship between the two, and the possessiveness in a man's heart.

Zhao Changlin probably likes her, and it's quite obvious that the two have known each other for quite some time.

So what was Liu Mei's purpose in bringing me here today? Was she using me as a shield to make Zhao Changlin back down?

But if you're going to do that, shouldn't you be more intimate with yourself?

I just can't understand it... this girl's thoughts change every minute...

The club swung again, unsurprisingly tearing up a large patch of turf.

"The Kobayashi brothers still need to practice their skills more, but that's normal, they're beginners."

Looking at the torn turf and the golf balls not far away.

Zhao Changlin walked over to the two men, took out a ball, and without much preparation, hit a very beautiful eagle shot.

The caddie immediately took out the golf ball and handed it to Zhao Changlin, who then walked up to Lin Jiu and gave him the ball.

"Brother Lin, what does your family do? What field are your parents in? Please introduce them. Perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"I'm an only child, from an ordinary family."

Zhao Changlin and the others around him were visibly taken aback by this answer.

But they didn't believe it. His clothes weren't bad at all; they were custom-made. Where would an ordinary person get the money to make such high-end clothes?

Lin Jiu, like Liu Mei, must have inherited the family business after an elder in his family passed away unexpectedly.

"Sure, if you say it's an ordinary family, then it's an ordinary family. Shall we play a couple of rounds together?"

"No, I'm not very good at it. I'll just play with Liu Mei; she'll take me along."

Hearing Lin Jiu's words constantly mentioning Liu Mei, and in such a matter-of-fact tone, Zhao Changlin felt a surge of jealousy.

"Hey, since we're already here, let's have a couple of rounds. Liu Mei wants to have some fun too; we can't expect her to stick around with you forever."

Zhao Changlin naturally wouldn't let the two continue to be together, so he used various excuses to get Lin Jiu to fight with him.

Liu Mei would also subtly incite Lin Jiu during the process, deliberately getting into some intimate contact with him.

Her idea was simple: to stir up Lin Jiu's possessiveness and incite Zhao Changlin's jealousy.

Then, when Lin Jiu was rendered speechless by Zhao Changlin's golf skills or other words, she would step in to relieve the pressure on him.

By gradually repeating this process, he becomes more dependent on himself.

In this way, the primary and secondary relationships are established.

After all, Lin Jiu's abilities are too unique. If we don't solidify our relationship beforehand, it will be troublesome if someone breaks into our house or he brings people home...

As for the fact that she would be part of the price to solidify their relationship, Liu Mei didn't feel there was anything wrong with that.

Everything has a price; if you want to gain something, you have to give something in return.

At the same time, she knows that she is a more rational person than an emotional one, based on her self-understanding.

Even if it really comes to that, there will probably be more considerations of self-interest between me and Lin Jiu.

The chances of falling completely in love with him are slim, so giving him some compensation is necessary.

He made an excuse to get a drink of water and left, giving the two ample space to fight.

However, just as Liu Mei got the bottled water from the golf cart, things started to get out of her control with Lin Jiu and Zhao Changlin.

"So he really is just an ordinary person..."

As Zhao Changlin obtained the file about Lin Jiu, the pressure in his heart vanished, and a hint of disdain crept into his gaze as he looked at Lin Jiu.

"Twenty-one years old, my mother died in a factory accident, and my father has been missing since childhood, ah..."

With a cold laugh, Zhao Changlin glanced at Liu Mei, who was drinking water not far away but whose eyes were still observing them.

Amidst Zhao Changlin's disdain, Lin Jiu's gaze flashed with anger.

Lin Jiu's mother's departure is a scar that is difficult to heal. He doesn't like others mentioning his mother, especially in such a mocking manner.

Lin Jiu began to clench her fists around the golf club, then, after a moment's thought, took a deep breath and slowly released her grip.

Ultimately, it was Liu Mei who brought her here. These people were all rich and powerful, and their impulsive actions would bring trouble to both her and Liu Mei.

"What a twisted sense of humor..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Changlin looked at Lin Jiu opposite him, his eyes filled with the arrogance of someone from the upper class.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed that my affair with Liu Mei has dragged you into this, one should know one's place."

"Although I don't know what she's thinking, her personality... is inherently somewhat unpredictable, and she's very perceptive."

"I can roughly guess what you're thinking. Young people have unrealistic fantasies, I understand."

"But what's most frightening about some things is overthinking and misunderstandings."

"If you're in a different circle, don't force yourself to fit in. For some people, just being there once in your life is already a great blessing; there's more than you can ask for."

Lin Jiu watched Zhao Changlin ramble on and on, and understood that he was trying to put her down and prevent her from having any unrealistic expectations of Liu Mei.

I have feelings for that woman...!

Okay, there is a little bit, but it has nothing to do with you, right?

Seeing Lin Jiu frown, Zhao Changlin lowered his head and chuckled awkwardly, then looked up at him with a hint of disdain.

"Give me your card number, and I'll transfer two million to you in a bit. You can take the money and leave. I'll have the caddie arrange a car to take you back. Don't worry, you won't have to pay anything."

"Then find an opportunity to move your mother to a bigger place. Those row houses are too cramped for the elderly."

"He suffered so much and worked so hard in life, and even in death..."

call!

The sound of the club cutting through the air rang out, and to Zhao Changlin's somewhat panicked gaze, it suddenly stopped in front of his head.

Lin Jiu ultimately did not strike, even though his eyes were already bloodshot with anger from the mention of his mother.

As the cue trembled uncontrollably from Lin Jiu's excessive grip, Lin Jiu finally slowly lowered the cue under Zhao Changlin's panicked gaze.

He didn't want to cause trouble for Liu Mei, and also because he was broke.

Hitting Zhao Changlin will have serious long-term consequences.

Looking at Lin Jiu across from him, who was furious and whose eyes were bloodshot, and watching him slowly lower his cue.

Coming to his senses from the initial panic, Zhao Changlin felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, because he had just been afraid.

Just now, he was so startled by Lin Jiu's actions that he froze on the spot.

However, the woman he loved was right beside him. The thought that she was watching him and had seen his cowardice filled him with a surge of violent anger. Zhao Changlin punched Lin Jiu in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey, hey, hey, how could you hit someone?!"

As Li Molin spoke in a panic, Liu Mei quickly ran to Lin Jiu's side.

Frowning, Zhao Changlin helped Lin Jiu up from the ground, a flash of anger crossing his eyes as he looked at her.

"Liu Mei, do you know that the person you found almost..."

"Shut up...!"

Liu Mei stared at the golf club that Lin Jiu was gripping tightly in his hand, his fingers digging into the handle and causing it to deform noticeably.

Liu Mei panicked and reached out to grasp the back of his hand, trying to make him loosen his grip slightly.

However, Lin Jiu did not let go, but only looked up at her.

Seeing the anger that Lin Jiu was gradually suppressing, along with a hint of resentment and sadness mixed in, Liu Mei's heart trembled.

Because she knew that she was definitely partly responsible for Lin Jiu's failure to swing the club.

Lin Jiu took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhao Changlin, who was looking furious, and after a moment, he expressionlessly threw the cue stick aside.

"Lin Jiu!"

Watching Lin Jiu walk away alone, Liu Mei was about to chase after him when Zhao Changlin grabbed her arm.

"Liu Mei, there's no need for that. He's just an ordinary person...!!"

Liu Mei's high knee strike landed squarely on Zhao Changlin's abdomen. As he stared in pain with wide eyes, Liu Mei coldly pushed him aside and hurriedly chased after Lin Jiu ahead.

Recalling Lin Jiu's gaze just now, Liu Mei knew that things might have gone wrong.
