But Shen Li was unaware that Wang Shun Yuan was intentionally changing the subject. He continued earnestly, "Shang Yan has high standards. The last time we met, her impression of Jiang Chen was just average. However, if Jiang Chen pursues her properly, with our help, he still has a good chance of winning her over."
"Li Li, stop it. Brother Jun really doesn't lack beautiful women around him; he just has high standards and is too lazy to date," Liu Ying quickly interjected.
"Liu Ying, are you saying that Jiang Chen isn't even interested in Shang Yan?" Shen Li asked, looking astonished.
Liu Ying nodded. Not only Liu Ying, but Wang Shun Yuan and the others also nodded in agreement.
Shen Li was momentarily taken aback.
"Li Li, about Brother Jun, I'll tell you more when I have time tonight. We really don't need to worry about him. Shang Yan is indeed excellent and beautiful, but if Brother Jun liked her, he would have shown some reaction during our last meeting. The fact that he didn't means he isn't interested in Shang Yan, so you shouldn't try to play matchmaker," Liu Ying said earnestly.
Liu Ying felt it was necessary to inform Shen Li about Jiang Chen as soon as possible; otherwise, similar situations would arise in the future.
Shen Li was sharp enough to notice the strange expressions on everyone's faces, indicating that she had indeed misspoken. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh, could it be that I don't know Jiang Chen well enough?"
"You'll get to know him gradually; we're all friends now. But Liu Ying is right; we really don't need to worry about Jiang Chen—there's nothing we can do about it anyway. What we should do is not let Jiang Chen worry about us," Wang Shun Yuan said with a smile, easing Shen Li's embarrassment.
Shen Li discreetly pinched Liu Ying and shot her a look that said she would get back at her later.
Liu Ying could only smile helplessly; there was nothing she could do. If they had known each other earlier and had a stronger bond, she would have no secrets from Shen Li.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Lin Bingbing arrived at the dining location.
"I'm sorry for making you late," Lin Bingbing said apologetically.
"It's fine." Jiang Chen understood Lin Bingbing's feelings and couldn't bear to be too harsh on her. How could he scold a woman who had put so much effort into her appearance for him?
As they entered the restaurant, no one paid them any attention. The waiter at the entrance asked for Jiang Chen's private room number and led them there. Although Lin Bingbing wore a mask and a baseball cap that made her stand out, the waiter couldn't help but think to himself: dressed like that, does she think she's a big star?
Inside the private room, when Liu Ying and the others saw Jiang Chen arrive, they all stood up. Although they were friends, there was indeed a significant difference in their statuses—one that felt like heaven and earth apart. Deep down, Liu Ying and the others held respect and admiration for Jiang Chen.
Seeing everyone rise, Shen Li also hurried to stand up; however, her gaze was not on Jiang Chen but rather on Lin Bingbing.
Even with a mask and baseball cap on, it was clear that Lin Bingbing was a stunning beauty.
"Brother Jun, this... this lady wouldn't happen to be your girlfriend, would she?" Liu Ying asked. It was hard to believe that someone who could accompany Jiang Chen today had no connection with him at all.
"I'm just friends with Jiang Chen. I was bored at home and asked him to take me out for some fresh air. I hope I'm not interrupting your gathering," Lin Bingbing quickly interjected before Jiang Chen could speak.
"Not at all! Of course not!" Liu Ying hurriedly waved her hands.
With someone as charming as Lin Bingbing by his side, it wouldn't be surprising if Jiang Chen brought along several beautiful women; Liu Ying and the others wouldn't be shocked by it.
