Ten minutes later, Lin Fan had showered, dressed, and was standing at the door waiting for Gu Jia.
Men are so fast when it comes to going out, while Gu Jia was relatively slow. It took another half an hour before she finally emerged from the house.
Gu Jia didn't expect Lin Fan to be waiting, which made her a little embarrassed: "Did you have to wait so long?"
"No, I just waited for half an hour."
"Ah?" Gu Jia was even more embarrassed: "You should have waited at home."
"It makes no difference, let's go!"
"Mm..."
They stepped into the elevator, and as the elevator doors closed, the atmosphere became increasingly flirtatious.
After all, it was a bit strange to go out on a date with someone they had just met. Gu Jia lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Lin Fan, and just wanted to get to the first floor quickly.
Lin Fan, however, was not at all shy. He casually scanned her up and down.
She was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a violent bear print, revealing a slender waist, paired with classic high-waisted blue jeans and white sneakers, making her look even more energetic.
If you didn't know her background, who would believe she was a thirty-year-old mother?
She looked younger and more energetic than college students.
She was definitely a leader among hot moms.
The elevator arrived at the first floor, and Gu Jia walked out first, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
She didn't know why, but she had no other thoughts. She just wanted to treat Lin Fan to dinner for his help.
But in that confined space, the atmosphere felt so flirtatious.
As they stepped out of the lobby, Gu Jia stopped: "You haven't said what you want to eat yet."
Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Let's go for steak! I know a good place, I'll take you there."
"Will you drive?"
"Mm, get in my car."
As they approached the Bentley Continental, Gu Jia was still a little surprised.
Although her family could afford a house in Junyue Mansion, they definitely couldn't afford such a luxurious car.
And Lin Fan, at his young age, was able to drive a Bentley, he must be worth a fortune.
Sitting in the passenger seat, driving on the road, Gu Jia curiously asked, "I still don't know what you do for a living."
Lin Fan casually picked up a business card from the center console and handed it to Gu Jia: "I do a bit of business."
Gu Jia took a look, it was for Emperor Investment Company. Although she didn't know much about it, she had seen Emperor Investment's billboards in the Jinmao Tower.
She never thought that the young man beside her was the mastermind behind Emperor Investment.
No wonder Lin Fan could drive a Bentley, it must be a drop in the bucket for him. Moreover, living in Junyue Mansion was almost beneath his status, he should live in a super luxurious residence like Tomson一品 or Tangong.
Carefully placing the business card in her bag, Gu Jia smiled cheerfully: "I never thought my neighbor was a super rich man, it's an honor."
Lin Fan didn't care: "I just have a bit of money, you're not bad either."
Gu Jia chuckled, she was nothing compared to Lin Fan, he was really overestimating her.
They arrived at their destination, a high-end Western restaurant in the Lujiazui CBD.
Getting out of the car, Gu Jia joked, "It's very close to your company! You can go to work after we eat."
Lin Fan nodded: "Less than a kilometer, my company is in Jinmao Tower, you're always welcome to visit."
"Alright! When I need an investment, I'll find Emperor Investment. But it's still more convenient to find you at home."
They exchanged smiles and walked into the Western restaurant side by side.
As it was approaching noon, the restaurant was bustling with people. It wasn't easy to find a seat.
Just as Gu Jia was considering going to a different restaurant, Lin Fan directly flashed his special membership card and had the waiter lead them to a window seat on the second floor.
This restaurant's steaks were very popular, so it was always packed at mealtimes.
But Lin Fan had spent 200,000 yuan to reserve a VIP seat, so he could have a seat anytime he came.
Gu Jia couldn't help but marvel at the power of money.
Not long after, Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia also walked into the restaurant.
They were about to leave because there were no seats and they had to wait, but just as they were leaving, someone finished their meal and a seat became available, allowing the two to be seated on the second floor.
They ordered steaks, and while waiting for the food to arrive, Liu Yingxia fully demonstrated her gossipy nature: "So you divorced Lin Shaotao and moved into Lin Fan's house, did you two really not do anything? That kid is handsome and has a great body, if I got divorced, I wouldn't be able to resist."
Jian Ai rolled her eyes playfully: "Do you think I'm as hungry as you? Men are nothing to me."
Liu Yingxia rolled her eyes nearly 360 degrees, Jian Ai's words were too hypocritical.
They were best friends, and they knew each other's nature very well.
"Okay, don't pretend to be reserved in front of me, it's disgusting!"
"Hehe... what's the hurry? If you want to play with a younger guy, I promise I won't tell Jia Kuan, come to my place tonight, I'll help you arrange it."
"Go die, I'm a good wife."
"Cut it out! Who knows if you imagine Jia Kuan as Lin Fan when the lights are off."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that hot."
"Then I'm not that hot either."
Liu Yingxia really believed it: "So how long are you planning to stay at Lin Fan's place? You really not going to eat him?"
"Let's see. It's not easy to change houses. I'll consider moving out after I find a suitable place."
"That's fine, but try to eat Lin Fan as soon as possible, the closer you are, the better the chance, don't miss out."
"You're the one who's hot."
"You're the one who's hot."
The waiter brought their steaks, and the two began to eat.
After eating half, Liu Yingxia stopped because she was no longer hungry: "I'm going to use the restroom."
As she got up, she glanced at something and froze. Her gaze landed on Lin Fan, sitting by the window. It was him, wasn't it?
And the woman with him, she didn't recognize her, but she was beautiful.
Liu Yingxia sat down with a thud: "Stop eating, guess who I saw?"
"Who? Lin Shaotao?"
"No."
"Then who is it?"
Their VG company was nearby, so it was completely expected to meet someone they knew here. Liu Yingxia was making a big deal out of it, Jian Ai wasn't curious at all and continued to eat while talking.
Liu Yingxia slowly revealed: "Lin Fan is having dinner with a very beautiful woman, I don't know that woman."
Jian Ai finally looked up slowly: "Lin Fan with who?"
"I don't know her! You look for yourself."
Jian Ai followed Liu Yingxia's gaze, and a second later, her pupils constricted in disbelief, blurting out: "He's already hooked up with her?"
Liu Yingxia blinked her curious big eyes: "Who is she? Why do you say he hooked up with her?"
Jian Ai had met Gu Jia, hadn't she gone to Junyue Mansion to look at houses yesterday?
Today, she's having dinner with Lin Fan, how fast is that progress? It's faster than a rocket.
And it seemed like the other woman had a husband, what a hot mess!
Jian Ai retracted her gaze and looked at Liu Yingxia, not hiding anything: "That woman is Lin Fan's neighbor, she must be a new neighbor, it's been less than two days, don't you think it's fast?"
Liu Yingxia's mouth gaped wide enough to fit a king-size bed: "You're saying she's his new neighbor? Lin Fan is really something!"
"Who can resist a handsome guy? He's a housewife's favorite."
"Is that woman married?"
"She should be."
"So this is Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing."
"Don't talk nonsense... maybe not."
"Then let's go over and say hello, then we'll know."
"Weren't you going to the restroom?"
"Not anymore."
Jian Ai wiped her mouth, and the two got up and walked towards Lin Fan and Gu Jia.
