Chen Fan knew that people don't visit without a reason, so he said, "Alright, no need to be polite, just say it directly!"
"What is it?"
Li Qingmei said, "Let's get acquainted!"
Chen Fan smiled, "Mr. Li, to be honest, that joke isn't funny at all!"
Li Qingmei continued, "You resemble a friend of mine, so I came to see!"
Chen Fan immediately quipped, "An ex-boyfriend?"
These three words made Yu Xiaotong laugh too.
*Pfft!*
Yu Xiaotong stifled her smile after Li Qingmei glared at her, looking rather cute.
Li Qingmei retorted, "Do I look like someone with an ex-boyfriend?"
Chen Fan chimed in, "You can't judge a book by its cover!"
Li Qingmei crossed her arms and snorted, "Your joke isn't funny either. I came to find you because you have the same name and surname as my friend. Now it seems, you're not him!"
Chen Fan listened, completely bewildered, thinking Li Qingmei was being peculiar.
Yu Xiaotong also showed a hint of helplessness and interjected, "Sister, if you beat around the bush like this, he won't understand at all. Why not be direct? Yes or no!"
Li Qingmei remained silent.
Yu Xiaotong added, "The reason we're looking for you is that my sister has a fiancé who is also named Chen Fan!"
"So that's how it is..." Chen Fan nodded, then froze in place, "You... what did you just say?"
"Li Qingmei!" Yu Xiaotong replied impatiently, unable to believe he couldn't remember a beautiful woman's name.
Chen Fan slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Ha... I actually have a marriage certificate with someone named Li Meiqing!"
"Wait a moment, I'll go get it right now!"
Meanwhile, Li Qingmei and Yu Xiaotong were stunned, frozen in place, unable to speak.
Damn it!
This is for real?
This...
"Sister, hit me to confirm I'm not dreaming!" Yu Xiaotong mumbled, still in a daze.
Li Qingmei ignored her.
A moment later, Chen Fan walked out from inside and tossed a marriage certificate, which was not unfamiliar to Li Qingmei, into her hand, "Your marriage certificate, is it like this?"
"If it's like this, then it's basically confirmed!"
Li Qingmei looked at the marriage certificate in her hand and was stunned for a moment, "It really is you!"
Chen Fan smiled, "What a coincidence. Alright, I don't need to go to Jinmen to find you. You should tear up this marriage certificate quickly!"
"Once it's torn, we'll have no ties, and the wishes of our elders will be fulfilled!"
Li Qingmei didn't hesitate and raised her hand to tear it, "Okay..."
Just then, Yu Xiaotong suddenly intervened, snatched the marriage certificate, pulled Li Qingmei aside, and said irritably, "Sister, what are you doing? You're usually so smart, why are you being so foolish today?"
Li Qingmei looked confused, "Xiaotong, what do you mean?"
Yu Xiaotong was exasperated, "Sister, it's not what I mean, but are you stupid? This Chen Fan is a Huajing stage expert! Our family doesn't even have many of those. Are you sure you want to let a young expert slip away? Besides, this Chen Fan's looks aren't bad either! You need to calm down and think carefully. Why are you faltering at such a crucial moment?"
"Not to mention far away, just looking at the recent past, do you not know how many experts are in the Li family?"
These words struck Li Qingmei like lightning, and she instantly understood the implications.
Li Qingmei frowned, "What you're saying seems to make a lot of sense!"
