Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 626: "Open-Minded" Young Master Shen

After work, Su Chen drove to the place Qi Meng had mentioned—the First Grade Residence, a name that seemed full of poetic flair upon hearing it.

Upon arrival, Su Chen realized that the restaurant truly lived up to its name, its style was very elegant, and careful attention seemed to have been paid to every detail.

There were no private rooms here, but each dining table was separated by screens, which allowed the dining guests to feel as though they were part of a whole, yet each had their own private space.

The screens were adorned with traditional Chinese paintings and inscriptions, creating an atmosphere that left diners feeling as if they themselves had become great scholars.

However, at this time there were no other customers in the restaurant, so Su Chen found Qi Meng the moment he entered.

Today, Qi Meng was still wearing a deep purple body-hugging dress that reached above her thighs, paired with black stockings and high-heeled shoes that accentuated her legs, making them look incredibly long and straight.

Over the dress, she had draped a snow-white mink coat, which altogether gave off an air of sexiness laced with a touch of nobility!

As Su Chen had expected, Shen Lin was also there.

Upon Su Chen's arrival, the two immediately stood up to greet him, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat back down.

"I wonder if the First Grade Residence belongs to Miss Qi Meng, or is it Mr. Shen's property?"

After sitting down, Su Chen glanced around, smiling as he inquired.

"Mr. Su truly has a discerning eye, to be frank, this place was opened by me for fun. You're welcome anytime, Mr. Su," Shen Lin replied with a slight smile.

Shen Lin wasn't surprised that Su Chen had guessed this, considering their association at this point was still a matter of clandestine dealings, not something to be displayed in public places.

"Big Brother Shen, I'm sorry for yesterday, it was a necessary measure, does it still hurt now?"

Suddenly, Su Chen pointed to the other person's face, seemingly asking with a face full of concern.

What he was referring to, of course, was the slap he had delivered to the other man's face the day before.

Upon hearing this, a hint of darkness flashed through Shen Lin's eyes.

Yesterday's incident was something everyone was tacitly aware of, and he wouldn't hold it against Su Chen. He could understand the situation.

But bringing it up as soon as he sat down seemed a bit like a deliberate slap in the face.

Although slightly displeased, he still maintained an appearance of composure.

"No worries at all, it was a minor matter. I know at that time you had no choice, Mr. Su," Shen Lin said with a smile.

"Such magnanimity, Big Brother Shen. If someone slapped me like that, I would surely detest them to death," Su Chen said with an air of emotion,

"But you, Big Brother Shen, not only bear no grudge against me but you even invite me to dine; you really are... too kind!"

As soon as these words fell, the corners of Shen Lin's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He thought, the way you say it, it doesn't sound like you're praising me at all, rather it seems like you're implying I am too cheap?

For a moment, he wasn't quite sure if Su Chen was doing it on purpose.

Qi Meng, sitting beside them, almost couldn't help bursting into laughter.

She knew Su Chen more than anyone else and was certain that he was doing it intentionally.

After all, to Qi Meng, the event from the night before was the least shocking, as such things were all too common for the King of the Underworld!

However, she currently presented herself as part ally and part subordinate to Shen Lin, so it wasn't appropriate for her to damage Shen Lin's face.

With a pair of eyes that seemed to lure people in, she stole a glance at Su Chen, her gaze seemingly whispering — "You're so naughty!"

And honestly, Qi Meng's eyes were indeed irresistible to men; right now, Su Chen's heart uncontrollably "thudded."

"Mr. Su, I really didn't expect that you would actually be..."

Shen Lin spoke with a hint of sigh.

He truly hadn't anticipated that Su Chen would turn out to be someone from the Su Family's senior branch!

Although Su Lou had gradually become a taboo term, barely known to anyone, Shen Lin was aware, and even more so of what kind of person was referred to!

And here in front of him was the son of that person!

He finally understood why Su Chen had humiliated those young masters so much; it really wasn't without reason!

Last night he had also almost stayed up all night, pondering over the impact of this matter on himself, including whether to continue cooperating with the other party.

After a night of analysis, he arrived at a conclusion: in some ways, both of their goals were aligned.

They both wanted to break certain things and then obtain what they desired from the fallout.

At least for the moment, their short-term intentions were the same, which is why he had invited him to dinner today.

As for the matters of that year, anyone with a bit of sense would realize they were far from normal upon reflection.

How could the people of the Su Family's senior branch meet with mishaps in such quick succession? That couldn't possibly be normal.

If someone said there were no underhanded schemes involved, nobody would believe it!

Of course, the targets of these schemes were naturally directed at the other major families!

Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, Su Chen also responded with a bitter smile.

"I understand. Such a deep hatred, how could one forget? If Mr. Su ever needs my help in the future, just ask."

At this moment, Shen Lin spoke with great satisfaction, seeming just like a good brother.

But in reality, both parties knew that this was all just superficial, and Su Chen casually expressed his thanks.

Soon after, their dishes were served. Although not those luxurious ones, they were indeed light and exquisite, looking quite appetizing.

The atmosphere that followed was rather harmonious. Su Chen, while enjoying the delicious food, also took pleasure in watching Qi Meng across from him, causing her to become somewhat shy.

Shen Lin, sitting to the side, also noticed this and gestured slightly to Qi Meng, who understood his intentions.

"Mr. Su, Qi Meng offers you a drink."

Qi Meng suddenly approached Su Chen with a drink in hand. Since the seating at First Grade consisted of long sofas rather than chairs, she directly sat down right next to Su Chen.

"Ah, for Miss Qi Meng to offer a toast herself, I am truly honored."

Su Chen smiled slightly, picked up his glass, and gently clinked it with Qi Meng's, while his hand naturally wrapped around her soft, slender waist.

Qi Meng's body trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to move a bit to the side, away from Su Chen.

But Su Chen's hand was like iron tongs, gripping her tightly, leaving her unable to move.

Qi Meng was helpless in the situation and even had to maintain a smile on her face.

After she finished her drink, Su Chen took the initiative to pour another for both of them, saying with a laugh:

"I'll also offer a drink to Miss Qi Meng."

"Okay."

With a seductive look in her eyes, Qi Meng faced Su Chen and softly spoke as if exhaling orchid fragrance.

"Bang!"

Their glasses gently clinked again, after which they each prepared to drink.

Just then, Qi Meng suddenly trembled, her hand shook, and she nearly spilled her drink...
