Lu i never expected that this Li Feng was actually the infamous freeloading son-in-law circulating online, and her father along with this Uncle Wu would actually treat him with such respect.
Her father was at least a prominent figure in Huacheng, and the Lu Family was a second-tier family in Huacheng. Uncle Wu wasn’t an easy person either, being a significant player in the hotel and catering industry.
Yet, when it cos to Li Feng, these two old foxes of the business world seed so intimidated.
Wu Youpeng noticed the disdain on the corner of Lu i’s mouth.
"You silly girl, how much of the rumors online can be taken seriously? Don’t you understand this by now? The reason these things exist online is because he wants them there, as it helps diminish his presence!"
"Hmph, if he really has the capability, why is he afraid of the spotlight?"
"It’s not about fearing the spotlight, but rather hiding behind the scenes makes it easier for him to maneuver, just like the bankruptcy of Sihai Group. A corporation worth billions vanished just like that. If I didn’t tell you, would you know the truth behind Sihai Group’s bankruptcy?"
"Your father and I were among the participants, and the organizer was this Li Feng."
"Knowing this, that’s why there is fear and reverence."
"I know you are still resenting your father, but after all, blood is thicker than water. Are you really going to destroy the Lu Family’s decades-long foundation for a boy toy, and watch your father suffer in his later years?"
Lu i bit her lip.
"He wouldn’t dare."
Wu Youpeng watched Lu i’s expression, knowing it was almost the right mont, and continued: "I don’t know if Feng Shao would do that, but Wang Fatty definitely would. You’ve offended Feng Shao, and Wang Fatty, who always claims to be Feng Shao’s vicious dog, surely won’t let it go."
"Well, that’s all I have to say. It’s up to you now, girl."
"Whether your dad can get through tonight’s deadly crisis is uncertain, but if sothing happens to him, heh."
Lu i looked up at the door of the operating room with a cold expression and said nothing.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhou Zhishan woke up to the alarm clock, which also stirred Li Feng awake. Zhou Zhishan saw Li Feng move: "Did I wake you?"
"Mm, why so early?"
"There are arrangents at the school today. I just graduated not long ago, so I can’t act high and mighty. I have to go through the rehearsal process. I heard quite a few dia people are coming today, so I must perform well. This is also a task assigned to by the company, and might be used for publicity later."
Zhou Zhishan explained with a red face.
"Oh."
"Then let’s go together."
"Ah!"
Zhou Zhishan exclaid as Li Feng picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. Let’s skip the morning tenderness; after washing and getting ready, Zhou Zhishan put on light makeup and left the hotel room with Li Feng.
But they had just stepped out when Zhou Zhishan was startled.
Li Feng turned to see Lu i standing next to the door, and Lu i also looked up: "I’ve co to apologize to you."
Li Feng smirked: "Apologize?"
"Is this how you apologize?"
Lu i bit her lip, looked at Li Feng with amusent, took a deep breath; "I sincerely apologize to you, I was wrong last night."
Lu i lowered her head.
"Wrong, do you know where you went wrong?"
Lu i raised her head to look at Li Feng, frustrated that after she had already apologized, he still wouldn’t let it go: "I shouldn’t have rashly called people to co and cause trouble, and interrupted your good ti last night, making you very upset."
"If you think a verbal apology isn’t enough, na your terms, as long as I, Lu i, can do it, I will have no reservations."
It was the first ti Li Feng had seen soone apologize so straightforwardly, and it seed less like an apology and more like an unwilling provocation.
"Alright."
"So be it then."
Li Feng didn’t bother to argue with this woman, knowing that winning was not honorable, and entangling further would be endless.
After speaking, Li Feng held Zhou Zhishan and walked past her directly.
What did he an by that?
Lu i turned around and quickly caught up, blocking Li Feng once more: "What do you an by ’so be it’, do you want to kneel down and beg for your forgiveness, only then will you be satisfied?"
Li Feng looked at the persistent Lu i.
"If I say so, will you kneel?"
Lu i did not expect Li Feng to play his cards so unexpectedly, she imdiately bit her lip. She was a fiercely independent woman, and in her bones, she was incredibly strong-willed, kneeling to a man was simply impossible.
Li Feng smiled faintly.
"Moreover, when I say ’so be it’, that’s what it ans, I have no intention of making things difficult for you, it’s pointless, even if you really knelt before , I wouldn’t feel any satisfaction, much less pleasure."
"Besides, out of respect for your father, this matter is over."
"Have I made myself clear now?"
After saying this, Li Feng left with Zhou Zhishan.
Though Li Feng made his stance clear, to Lu i it sounded sowhat grating, she felt as though he was looking down on her.
Her apology was aningless.
She, Lu i, had never apologized to anyone before, and yet he said it was aningless.
Unaware of Lu i’s thoughts, Li Feng and Zhou Zhishan went downstairs and had breakfast at the hotel before sending Zhou Zhishan to school.
Li Feng planned to accompany her, but halfway through he received a call from Zhu Jun, so he had to wait for Zhu Jun to drive over at the school gate.
"Quick, look at the news, Xia Peng was caught doing drugs."
"What? Is it true?"
"It’s been exposed, and there are photos. Not only is Xia Peng in the photo, but also Feng Hai, and several won. One was revealed to be Angel...."
"Tsk, this is going to be big."
"It’s more than just a big deal, it’s going to be an earthquake, Xia Peng is a traffic superstar with tens of millions of fans, and though Feng Hai isn’t as popular, he isn’t small-ti either."
"Angel might just be a major internet celebrity, but she also has over ten million fans, and she started as a young model. Tsk, not to ntion there are several other won in the photos."
"Although the photos are a bit blurry, it’s clear that this is an entertainnt venue where they were having a blast."
"What are you guys looking at?"
"Oh, Han Ying, you’re here, sothing big happened."
The gossiping few turned to look at Han Ying, whose face was full of freshness. Han Ying had a straightforward personality, so she got along well with the guys.
"Yeah, what happened?"
"You haven’t seen today’s trending topics?"
Han Ying shook her head, she drank quite a bit last night, got up late today, and had a tight schedule, needing to wash up and put on makeup, leaving no ti to check her phone.
"Just look for yourself, Xia Peng has been exposed, and in just over an hour it went straight to the top three trending topics."
Han Ying took the phone handed to her and quickly swiped through it. Without even reading the content, just seeing the photo, she gasped.
Rembering the events of last night, Han Ying drew in a sharp breath.
This must have been his doing.
If it was, then Senior Sister Zhou’s backer was really impressive, being able to pull off sothing this explosive in such a short amount of ti.
"Han Ying, did you check the trending topic!"
