One must know, the industry of the Chen Family was originally built up entirely by his brother Chen Wanfeng. Later, the brother handed a subsidiary over to him, which he fully managed, specializing in the clothing trade sector.
More than half of the mid-range and high-end shopping malls in the Imperial City are properties of the Mu Family. If the Mu Family’s malls demanded the removal of all Chen Family’s clothing, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Chen Wanli.
Thus, he couldn’t wait for an appointment and directly brought his wife to apologize.
"If President Chen came here just to say these words, then I regret that I cannot comply." Mu Xingfeng said, pulling An Ran to get up.
"Please wait," Chen Wanli, finally biting the bullet, said: "Young Master Mu, what happened yesterday was my young daughter’s fault. I hope Young Master Mu can be lenient considering her youth."
"Youth? President Chen, begging requires a beseeching attitude. Do you think a single word, ’youth,’ can make this matter pass? Isn’t that too cheap?"
Mu Xingfeng’s indifferent voice sounded dispassionate, yet it made Chen Wanli’s back sweat profusely.
"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Mu is right. Miss An suffered grievances this time. Coincidentally, our company’s brand has released a season’s new products. I hope Miss An would not despise them." Chen Wanli said while secretly wiping his forehead’s sweat.
"Do you think my Mu Family needs your things?"
Upon hearing Mu Xingfeng reject again, Xue Meihua, who had been sitting quietly, couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Young Master Mu, people say it takes two hands to clap. My daughter has never fought with anyone since childhood. Yesterday’s incident cannot be entirely blamed on my daughter, right? Besides, Miss An wasn’t really harmed, was she? I see Miss An only sustained some superficial injuries. Therefore, Shanshan’s injuries aren’t any lighter than Miss An’s."
"Shut up," Chen Wanli reprimanded his wife coldly, although he didn’t feel a bit displeased in his heart. He had already spoken every possible nice word, and Mu Xingfeng still wouldn’t relent. It really exhausted his patience. Now, his wife’s words could actually serve to remind Mu Xingfeng not to remain unyielding in the face of reason.
Despite feeling this way inwardly, he had to maintain appearances. With a cold face, Chen Wanli scolded his wife and then turned back to Mu Xingfeng with a smile, "Young Master Mu, women’s perspectives should not be taken to heart. I take full responsibility. Since yesterday, I have confined Shanshan at home for deep reflection and have forbidden her from stepping out of the family gates."
Mu Xingfeng coldly watched the couple performing there, feeling utterly bored. "President Chen’s apology has been noticed by me, please leave. Liu Hu, see the guests out."
After speaking, he stood up to go upstairs.
Chen Wanli panicked upon hearing this. He had been here for quite a while, yet the matter remained unresolved. How come he was being shown the door? His attitude? What kind of attitude was expected of him?
"Young Master Mu, please wait. What does Young Master Mu require to revoke that decision and continue cooperation with the Chen Family?" Unable to think of a better course, Chen Wanli had to ask.
"Make Chen Shanshan leave the Imperial City and never step foot here again." The cold voice carried a chilling aura, causing everyone present to gasp.
An Ran looked at the man in front of her, his cold and beautiful face devoid of any ripples, and his stern jaw exuded absolute toughness. Just because of a fight, did he make such a decision?
From beginning to end, he never asked about the reason behind the fight. This unconditional care and trust were things she had never experienced in her eighteen years of life. At this moment, An Ran’s heart felt deeply touched somewhere soft inside.
