The younger generation greets the elders.

This is basic etiquette.

Chen Lin, who has never paid attention to etiquette.

Today, we attach great importance to etiquette.

This made Li Mei wary and think that Chen Lin's intentions were not pure.

So she said to Chen Lin with hostility:

"That's strange! Have you always maintained that our country's etiquette is all red tape that should have been abandoned long ago? Could it be that you suddenly changed your nature and started to pick up red tape again just because you were talking about marriage?"

Chen Lin clearly heard the sarcasm.

But in order to achieve her real purpose, she began to pretend to be confused and said:

"Really? Li Mei, you must have remembered it wrongly. I have always been a person who pays the most attention to etiquette. My best friend. You have been delaying letting me greet the elders. Could it be that the elders are not in good health and are not suitable to meet guests?"

You have to know that an outsider is in front of the host.

It was said that the elders of the host family were not in good health and were not suitable to meet guests.

Regardless of whether this statement is true?

It's the most impolite thing to say.

Therefore, Chen Lin's emphasis on etiquette is just empty talk.

Li Mei stared at Chen Lin with eagle-like eyes and said:

"Forget it! I am too lazy to discuss with you whether what I said just now was polite or not. I just want to ask you one question now. As soon as you came here, you deliberately asked me if my grandparents were home? I'm afraid you were asking for someone else."

Having said that.

Chen Lin's eyes were evasive, obviously showing nervousness.

She was afraid that she would reveal some flaws and be discovered by Li Mei.

Little did she know that the more afraid she was, the more flaws she revealed.

For example, Chen Lin directly denied Li Mei's statement without thinking.

Moreover, when he denied it, he didn't even wait for Li Mei to finish what she wanted to say.

fortunately!

Li Mei is a person who is not easily disturbed by the outside world.

So even though Chen Lin had already denied what she was about to say.

She still said everything she wanted to say with a meaningful smile.

And after finishing speaking, he did not forget to add two sentences:

"Oh, we are indeed best friends! We can actually understand each other's minds. I haven't even finished what I just said. Chen Lin, you directly gave a negative answer."

After hearing this, Chen Lin immediately realized that he was acting too hastily.

As long as Li Mei is not stupid.

It is definitely obvious that her haste is just a cover-up.

How to do?

She was sweating profusely as she thought about how to deal with Li Mei.

All I can think of right now is to continue pretending to be confused.

So Chen Lin said after a silly laugh:

"Yes, yes, Li Mei, you are absolutely right. Being in tune with each other is the most basic phenomenon between good friends."

Li Mei continued:

"Yeah, I agree with this. Since we are both in tune with each other, you must know what I am thinking right now, right?"

Chen Lin naturally knew what Li Mei was thinking at the moment?

But if she answered affirmatively "I know".

Then Li Mei took the opportunity to ask about the specific content of her idea.

Then wouldn't she be exposed?

If the answer is negative, "I don't know".

Then Li Mei took the opportunity to point out that it seemed that they were not really good friends.

By then, Chen Lin would definitely not be able to complete the task assigned to her by Huo Jun to spy on Li Mei.

How to do?

Chen Lin rolled his eyes and said:

"Yes. Of course I know."

really!

Li Mei did ask about the details she wanted as she expected.

Chen Lin answered confidently:

"Well! Let me see. Um... you must be thinking that your grandparents are not at home. Why do I show up here at this time to pay my respects to them? It's obvious that I have ulterior motives."

Li Mei heard this.

He pretended to be surprised and looked at Chen Lin who frankly admitted:

"Hey, I didn't expect you actually knew that! Not bad, not bad, go on."

Chen Lin explained:

"How could I have any ulterior motives? Li Mei, please believe me. I am sincere to you..."

Chen Lin’s expression is somewhat like the love between lovers.

Li Mei got goosebumps all over her body after hearing this.

despite this.

Li Mei didn't intend to continue Chen Lin's words.

So she urged,

"Go on, you go on. I'm listening."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Chen Lin's face.

But it was only a flash.

She immediately forced herself to try her best not to be affected by what Li Mei had just said.

She thought that since Li Mei asked her to continue talking.

Then why didn't she say it?

Say!

So Chen Lin was like a primary school student who received great encouragement from his teacher.

With a proud smile on her face, she continued:

"So you're thinking, even if you know where your grandparents are, they will never tell me. The purpose is to prevent me from paying my respects to the elders."

This statement obviously sounds a bit like the ambiguous words of a fortune teller.

So Li Mei heard this.

A disdainful smile appeared on her face.

It’s also because of Li Mei’s smile.

Chen Lin felt that what he said was...

She had achieved her intended purpose.

So I decided to quit while I was ahead and said:

"Okay, that's all I can think of for now. Li Mei, just tell me if I'm right."

Li Mei paused for a moment with a serious attitude.

Then it was like hearing a huge joke.

He laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Chen Lin asked anxiously:

"Li Mei, what are you laughing at? Even if what I said is wrong, you don't have to laugh at me like that."

Chen Lin's questioning failed to stop Li Mei's laughter immediately.

Instead, the smile was even more exaggerated than before.

Chen Lin was obviously thinking with a guilty conscience.

Could it be that Li Mei has fully understood the purpose of her appearance here?

If that is true.

Then what she just said was indeed a huge joke.

Think of this.

Sweat of panic seeped out of Chen Lin's forehead.

She would subconsciously wipe it with her hand from time to time.

Li Mei's smile just now was exactly like Chen Lin's panic-stricken look now.

Because only Chen Lin was panicked.

Then she would be 100% sure that her conclusion about Chen Lin's appearance at the beginning was correct.

This is the end.

Li Mei suppressed all smiles.

She raised her hand and pointed at the door that Chen Lin had walked through.

He said again with a serious face:

"Alright! Chen Lin, I knew the moment you walked in through that door. I know that the reason you came here is because of Huo Jun."

Chen Lin wanted to laugh and say:

"For Huo Jun? Impossible. You misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Li Mei smiled and shook her head, then said firmly, "I absolutely would not misunderstand you!"

Chen Lin was not affected by Li Mei's words.

So stop talking immediately.

Instead, she continued with her previous train of thought:

"Ever since you said you would not transfer Huo Jun back to the parent company, I haven't had much interaction with Huo Jun. How could it be possible that I showed up this time for Huo Jun? It's impossible."

Li Mei smiled and said:

"You definitely know what I meant just now. So let me tell you something unpleasant. If you continue to treat me like a fool, then you, Chen Lin, are definitely the dumbest fool."

At this point, Chen Lin was at a loss.

Are you thinking about how to deal with this?

Li Mei had no intention of giving Chen Lin time to think.

So she took two steps toward the door and gestured to Chen Lin to go out.

At the same time, she expressed it in sharp language:

"Since you, Chen Lin, have never intended to tell me the truth, I will never allow you to stay here and defile my pure home. So please get out of my grandparents' house immediately."
