"No, no inconvenience at all. I came purely to express my gratitude, gratitude to Vice Minister Lin for saving my life once again."
Mu Shanshan had already made her relationship with Lin Fei as husband and wife clear, so naturally, Meng Ke'er wouldn't foolishly hide her intentions from Mu Shanshan. After all, even if Meng Ke'er were naïve, she understood that if she used inconvenience as an excuse to hide her intentions from Mu Shanshan at this moment...
The seemingly calm conversation between her and Mu Shanshan would definitely turn tumultuous!
Meng Keer's words seemed offhand, but that wasn't the case. Meng Ke'er was indeed visiting the Mu Group to thank Lin Fei for saving her life once again.
Although she hadn't brought any gifts, in name at least, Meng Ke'er was indeed there to thank Lin Fei for saving her life twice.
Of course, Meng Ke'er had some other thoughts in her mind to some extent.
But obviously, those thoughts were negligible in front of Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei's rightful wife.
"Saving your life again? I'm sorry, but I haven't heard Lin Fei mention anything about this between him and you, Miss Meng. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear how Lin Fei saved you twice."
Even though Meng Ke'er hadn't expressed any ulterior motives when she visited Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan was already quite concerned about Lin Fei's act of saving her life once again.
After all, historically, there have been countless examples of heroes rescuing beauties who then reciprocate with devotion.
Especially considering Meng Ke'er was a popular singing star with a heavenly voice, whose allure to men, in some respects, was comparable to Mu Shanshan herself.
Hence, Mu Shanshan was clearly determined to clarify the details of Lin Fei saving Meng Ke'er twice.
Knowing about Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei's marital relationship, Meng Ke'er, caught in a turmoil of emotions, did not intend to hide anything from Mu Shanshan.
Thus, after a brief recollection, Meng Ke'er recounted to Lin Fei everything about how Lin Fei had saved her twice.
"...That's how it was; being saved twice by Vice Minister Lin, both emotionally and rationally, I should personally thank him. Before, I wasn't aware of your relationship with Vice Minister Lin, Mu President, so I didn't send you concert tickets. I ask for your understanding."
"Miss Meng, you overestimate. I'm not fond of crowds, so even if you had sent me concert tickets, I would likely pass them on to someone else." As she casually responded to Meng Ke'er, Mu Shanshan also pondered on Meng Ke'er's repeated words thanking Lin Fei for saving her life. Growing vigilant, she solemnly spoke again: "Actually, I think the person you ought to thank the most isn't Lin Fei."
"Mu President, what do you mean?"
"It's simple, because the person who saved you last night wasn't Lin Fei. Although, according to what you said, it was Lin Fei who asked Little Xuan to lead people and rescue you. However, the person who truly saved you was Little Xuan, not Lin Fei. So, I believe the person you should be most grateful to is Little Xuan."
After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, Meng Ke'er, picking up some implied meanings from Mu Shanshan's words, pondered briefly before nodding at Mu Shanshan: "Mu President, you're right. I should indeed thank Mr. Little Xuan, who led people to rescue me from the kidnappers."
"Little Xuan's full name is Gao Xuan, he is Lin Fei's comrade. He's now in Zhonghai City. Coincidentally, I have his contact information here. If Miss Meng needs it, I can call Little Xuan right now to have him come over, so Miss Meng can thank him in person. Or, I could call and ask where Little Xuan is, and accompany Miss Meng to find him."
"I appreciate Mu President's kindness. However, today I've already caused enough trouble for your company with my unannounced visit, which makes me quite guilty. If I were to trouble Mu President further to accompany me to find Mr. Gao, it would be even more burdensome. Mu President, being the president of the Mu Group, your time is precious and you're busy with official duties, which I can't afford to delay."
Aware that Mu Shanshan's intention of taking her to thank the Butcher was tantamount to severing her path to see Lin Fei under the guise of gratitude, Meng Ke'er was obviously unwilling to thank the Butcher first.
Thus, after she spoke, fearing Mu Shanshan's further persuasion, Meng Ke'er quickly interjected before Mu Shanshan could speak: "Moreover, while it was Mr. Gao who led people to save me, it was Vice Minister Lin who called Mr. Gao. If Vice Minister Lin hadn't called Mr. Gao, I might have met with tragedy last night. So, I personally feel that the one I should thank the most is Vice Minister Lin. Of course, I also need to thank Mr. Gao for rescuing me from the kidnappers."
"My point is, Mu President, you are busy with your duties and time is precious. If Mu President doesn't mind, I hope to find a time in the next few days to treat Vice Minister Lin and Mr. Gao to a meal, to express my gratitude. At that time, if Mu President is available, I'd be honored by your presence."
Mu Shanshan had made a move, and although Meng Ke'er initially lost her footing, she began to counter and retaliate as her emotions settled, with thoughts of Lin Fei lingering in her mind.
After all, to meet Lin Fei face-to-face, Meng Ke'er even threatened her agency with leaving the entertainment industry to set the final stage of her global concert tour in Zhonghai City.
Thus, feeling grateful for Lin Fei's two rescues.
Meng Ke'er clearly would not retreat due to a few subtly pointed words from Mu Shanshan.
Besides, from the initial meeting with Lin Fei, there was already Xue Mei by his side. Hence, even before returning to Zhonghai City, Meng Ke'er had already prepared herself for Lin Fei distancing himself due to someone he loved.
Nonetheless, she never expected that besides having Xue Mei, a stunning rose by his side, Lin Fei would also have Mu Shanshan, such a perfect business goddess, as a wife.
Moreover, judging by Mu Shanshan's previous words, the two already had a child.
However unexpected, Meng Ke'er clearly wouldn't give up halfway until Lin Fei explicitly demonstrated any intention of distancing himself.
Fortunately, she now had a perfectly reasonable excuse to thank him in person for saving her life.
Even faced with Mu Shanshan, the icy president, Meng Ke'er didn't intend to retreat without even seeing Lin Fei.
Otherwise, her eventful concert in Zhonghai City this time would undoubtedly become a futile effort...
