The man's words were polite, but they already carried a hint of threat.
"You shouldn't be saying these things to me, but to the students who are still lying in the hospital. You've gone to all this trouble to get to this point, and you think we can just become friends because you say so? For me, making a friend is a lifelong commitment, and none of you are worthy to be my friends."
Xu Musen also wore a smile, his aura unwavering.
The man's face stiffened, after all, he held a high position of power within the Huang Family, and to speak to this extent to a young person was already giving him face.
"Young man, don't speak so absolutely. The waters of Huhai are very deep. I know you've opened a few milk tea shops, but this is Huhai, without backing, you will find it difficult to make even a small step!"
"Who says he has no backing!"
At that moment, a knowledgeable and domineering voice came from outside the door.
With a kick, the door flung open.
A pair of slender and smooth black silk legs were the first to step inside from the doorway.
The newcomer was tall and distinguished, dressed in a professional women's suit, with phoenix eyes that exuded nobility, her sharp gaze sweeping across the room.
This was an extremely beautiful mature woman.
Xu Musen recognized the arrival, surprised for a moment.
The director looked at the beautiful woman who had burst in through the door.
If it had been anyone else, he would have started lecturing, but facing this beautiful and intelligent mature woman, he was somewhat more reserved in his words.
"The Yao Group, Liu Rushuang, also a parent of this child."
Liu Rushuang spoke briefly yet dominantly as she moved to stand before Xu Musen, reaching out to gently caress him, her tone turning tender with concern.
"Mom came late, did they bully you?"
Xu Musen couldn't help but grin; he and his mother really were alike. He shook his head, "I'm fine."
Huang Tianming's uncle pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood. In Huhai, a new power had emerged in recent years, growing very rapidly. It was said that the head of the group was a woman; he never expected her to be such a stunningly beautiful woman.
"The Huang Family is big and wealthy, yet you resort to intimidating a child. Aren't you ashamed?"
Liu Rushuang turned back to look at them, the gentleness in her voice subsiding, her phoenix eyes narrowing, emitting a twinkling black luster that made one feel a chill down their spine!
Huang Tianming's uncle felt a bit pressured, but upon considering that his adversary was just a woman, he still managed to harden his face.
"President Liu, since you're aware of our Huang Family, then you should understand that being friends with us is better than being enemies. The children just had a small conflict, there's no need to hold onto it so tightly."
"Hehe, a small conflict? Alright then, let one of your youngsters come and kowtow twice to my son, and I'll take it as a joke!"
Doing away with her usual grace and elegance, Liu Rushuang's words cut like a knife. That protective maternal instinct was truly reassuring!
"You! Don't push people too far! Your Yao Group has done well these past years, but compared to us, you are still far behind. Be careful not to lose your excellent development prospects over this matter!"
Huang Tianming's uncle's tone also carried a threat.
His words did indeed carry weight, Huhai was this big precisely because of its powerful families, which all had connections. If they were to unite against a new enterprise, it would be quite intimidating.
But Liu Rushuang just narrowed her phoenix eyes, her red lips curving into a slightly sickly arc, as she gently draped an arm over Xu Musen's shoulder.
"Then let me tell you, to me right now, my children are my greatest treasure. If you dare to aggrieve them in the slightest, I would go to the lengths of selling iron to carve a piece of flesh from you!"
Liu Rushuang's words echoed in the room, her voice carried a smile, but the slight madness in her tone made even veterans like Huang Tianming's uncle and Director Wang swallow hard.
This... could be a madwoman.
