Before Chen Wanli could speak, Xue Meihua beside him shrieked, "That’s impossible," allowing Chen Shanshan to leave the Imperial City and never step foot in it again would mean separating mother and daughter forever? It was just a fight between two people, even if they called the police, it wouldn’t be a big deal, and Mu Xingfeng actually wanted to drive the daughter out of the Imperial City.
Chen Wanli clearly found Mu Xingfeng’s request somewhat excessive, his smile faded a bit, and his voice carried a hint of displeasure, "Young Master Mu, this request seems a bit too much, doesn’t it? It’s just a small skirmish between two women, is it necessary to make such a drastic move? The Chen Family and Mu Family have been collaborating for many years, almost relying on each other, so Young Master Mu should leave some room for maneuver."
The Chen Family has always led the high-end fashion brands in the country. Without the Chen Family’s brand in Mu’s Mall, it might result in considerable losses. When the time comes, he could foster better relationships with the Mu Family shareholders. He didn’t believe Mu Xingfeng could withstand such pressure, as the apparent true leader of the Mu Family is Mu Wanxin, not Mu Xingfeng.
"It’s not up to President Chen to consider whether I keep room for maneuver. President Chen should be thinking about where to send his daughter." Mu Xingfeng stood there, slightly turning his head, his cold and stunning face displaying a hint of defiance and unusual arrogance.
"If that’s the case, I bid farewell now, and I hope Young Master Mu won’t regret today’s decision." Chen Wanli released all his morning’s repressed gloom, snorted coldly, and walked out of the Mu Family villa.
Xue Meihua followed closely behind, but when she turned, her gaze towards An Ran was as poisonous as a snake.
Watching their backs, An Ran’s eyes were touched with a hint of worry, she turned her head and met Mu Xingfeng’s star-like eyes.
Mu Xingfeng slid his hand into his pocket, looking sideways at An Ran, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "What’s this? Worried about me?"
An Ran nodded, "Instructor Mu, I’m really fine."
Mu Xingfeng walked over directly and wrapped his arm around her waist, "My woman must not suffer the slightest grievance, remember, wherever you are, you mustn’t let others bully you or disgrace me, and don’t think your man is weak."
The warm breath sprayed on the side of her ear, and An Ran’s face instantly blushed.
Although reason told her that she was nominally Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend and his words were a reminder that everything she did in the Imperial City represented him, she indeed could not easily bow down before others, causing him to lose face.
But the phrases "my woman" and "your man" inexplicably made her feel incredibly flattered.
In the afternoon, An Ran’s phone rang while she was focused on studying, she thought it might be Mu Xingfeng checking up on her, worrying she might get into trouble if she went out. Surprisingly, the caller was Xiao Xiao.
An Ran knew that Xiao Xiao had informed Mu Xingfeng to save her the other day. Her gratitude towards this good friend was no less than towards Mu Xingfeng. But with everything happening one after another recently, she hadn’t managed to call her.
"Hey, Ranran, where are you now? I tried calling you several times a few days ago but couldn’t get through, are you okay?"
The voice in the phone was full of concern, unlike the usual bombardment, making An Ran’s heart warm upon hearing the familiar voice.
"Uh... Xiao, I’m sorry, Instructor Mu confiscated my phone a few days ago, so you couldn’t reach me. It’s my fault, I should have informed you right away."
