Chapter 3: Using such an old trick to pick up girls?

  As soon as they stepped out of the "Dream Paris" door, the girl stopped in her tracks, looked at Zhang Sen and said coldly: "Sir, you saved me, so I should thank you. I thought you were a heroic figure who would stand up for justice when seeing injustice, but it turns out that you are just like Li Qiang. However, it seems that you have more connections than him, even Xu Lao Da has to give face to you. Why did you save me? Tell me your true intentions so I can thank you properly for saving my life. But if you're just like Li Qiang and want to take advantage of me, then I'd rather go back in there and drink myself to death than owe you a favor."

  Zhang Sen was taken aback, looked up and glanced at the girl, only to find that she was surprisingly beautiful, with big eyes like a misty morning, an exquisite face, but her expression was haughty, her face as cold as frost, completely different from the one in the bar earlier, like an untouchable goddess.

  Zhang Sen knew the girl had misunderstood him, so he smiled and said: "Miss, you've got it wrong. He and I aren't traveling together. As for how I know their boss, please forgive me for not being able to say. My helping you doesn't have any ulterior motives. It's late at night, and you're alone, so be careful on your way home."

  Ma Pei, who followed them out, didn't hear the conversation earlier and only heard Zhang Sen telling the girl to go home by herself. He smiled and said: "Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west. Ah Sen, I say you don't understand how to cherish girls? It's already late, how can we let Miss go home alone? Let's send her back instead. Miss, where do you live? We'll send you back."

  Ma Pei turned his head to look at the girl, just as she also raised her head to look at him. Ma Pei was taken aback for a moment, and he stared at the girl in disbelief, exclaiming: "Mei Yu? You're Mei Yu! How did you end up here? How could you appear at this time, in this place?"

  The girl seemed to be stunned for a moment, but immediately she calmed down and said lightly: "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Mei Yu, my name is Ling Ziwei, and I'm a wine promoter."

  Ma Pei excitedly grabbed the girl's hand and said hastily: "How could I have mistaken you? How could I have mistaken my little Raindrop? I've been waiting for you in France, but when I received your last phone call, you just told me that you weren't coming, then hung up. When I called back, it was turned off, and the next day it became an empty number. Later, I only heard that your family went bankrupt, your parents died in a car accident, but there was no news of you again. Little Raindrop, do you know I've been looking for you all along? How did you end up here?"

  The girl's face changed with the weather as Ma Pei called her "Little Raindrop" one by one. She finally trembled all over, but she desperately controlled her emotions and tried to say in a calm voice: "Sir, you really got the wrong person, my name is Ling Ziwai, not Mei Yu."

  The expression on Ma Pei's face was quite complex at this time, and he muttered: "If you're not Mei Yu, why are you trembling? If you are Mei Yu, why won't you acknowledge me? Have you forgotten our past? I don't know how you ended up like this, but no matter what happened, I'm still the Ma Pei you knew. I haven't changed. Did something happen to your family that makes me not 'Big Muddy' in your heart?"

  The girl raised her head again, staring at Ma Pei with a cold expression: "Sir, you're not a 17 or 18-year-old kid anymore, why are you still using such an old trick to fool me? Isn't that too outdated?"

  After finishing speaking, the girl turned around and quickly walked away, Ma Pei chased after her shouting: "Mei Yu, wait for me."

  That girl suddenly turned around and scolded Ma Pei: "Don't follow me, I've never seen a man as shameless as you. You're even more despicable than that Jiang Huai in the bar. If you keep following me, I'll die in front of you, I mean what I say, do you believe it?"

  Ma Pei was stunned, he stopped in his tracks, painfully watching as the girl quickly ran away.

  Zhang Sen rushed up, wrapped his arms around Ma Pei's shoulders, and comfortingly tightened his grip. He looked at the girl's receding back and asked softly: "Are you sure she is Mei Yu? You've lost contact for more than five years, right? Maybe you really misrecognized her? Perhaps it was just a resemblance."

  He shook his head, "How could I possibly mistake someone? I grew up with her, she's the only woman I've ever loved so far, even if she were to turn into ashes, I'd still be able to sense her presence in the air! Such a deep and unforgettable longing, how could I possibly mistake someone? But why doesn't she recognize me? I just can't figure it out, really can't figure it out."

  Zhang Sen didn't know how to comfort him, so he just patted his shoulder and sighed. For a moment, time seemed to stand still!

  "After a long time, Ma Pei spoke up and said: 'Asen, help me out.'"

  Zhang Sen nodded: "Do you want me to find a way to investigate the girl's address? Are you sure she is Mei Yu? Even if she is Mei Yu, what can be done if she doesn't want to acknowledge you after finding her address?"

  Ma Pei sighed: "How many times do I have to tell you that I won't mistake someone? I must find her, I can see that she still has me in her heart, if she doesn't recognize me there must be a reason for it. I want to know why! I cannot ignore her."

  Zhang Sen didn't say anything else, but took out his mobile phone and walked to the side, making a few calls. Then he told Ma Pei: "The latest news will be available by tomorrow night."

  Ma nodded silently.
