Rong Nanfeng, filled with concerns, followed the driver into the villa.
The hot spring resort was actually composed of a series of white villas, and Li Shengxiao’s private villa was situated in the quietest and most prime location.
The white two-story villa was right next to the hot spring pool, very close by.
He had already changed into a bathrobe.
The tall man’s deep navy blue bathrobe hung loosely at his waist, revealing a firm chest. His long legs crossed, he sat on the leather sofa, his jawline taut, his sharp eyes fixed on the LED blue screen in front of him. The screen was showing footage from the previous night of Huang Youde being interviewed by the paparazzi.
“Mr. Rong, we’re here.”
“Uh, right. Thank you for showing me the way.” As soon as Rong Nanfeng stepped in, he saw the news playing in the spacious living room. He couldn’t figure out what the other party wanted him for, feeling completely unsettled, he proactively said, “Mr. Li, sorry, the traffic was bad, and I’m a bit late. I hope you haven’t been waiting long?”
Even though the man before him was a generation younger, he didn’t dare to assume an elder’s attitude in front of this man.
After all, this was Li Shengxiao!
In Capital City, no one dared to act old and sell old in front of Li Shengxiao!
Not to mention that the Rong Family was already inferior to the Li Family; he was even more cautious.
“Sit.” His tone was indifferent, but it carried an intimidating authority.
Rong Nanfeng couldn’t figure out what the young man before him was thinking and sat down uneasily.
“Make Mr. Rong a cup of coffee.” Li Shengxiao’s face was handsome and noble as he glanced at him, “Mr. Rong, would you prefer tea or coffee?”
Rong Nanfeng had collaborated with subsidiaries of the Li Group before, but usually, he could only get in touch with director-level executives. Someone like Li Shengxiao was too high-level; he never had the chance to meet him.
But he had heard many rumors about this man—that he was iron-fisted, domineering, and cold, disliking others getting too close, among other things.
“Mr. Li is too polite. Anything is fine, so I’ll have coffee,” Rong Nanfeng said. He really couldn’t understand why the other party wanted to see him. Even though he was flattered, he didn’t dare to overstep.
“Coffee.” Li Shengxiao slightly lifted his chin.
The driver immediately bowed and said respectfully, “Mr. Rong, please wait a moment.”
Soon, a cup of coffee was prepared and placed on the table in front of him.
Rong Nanfeng kept waiting for the other party to speak up about the reason for calling him here, but the other party seemed to have no intention of speaking. He leaned back on the sofa, his thin lips slightly pursed as he stared at the projection screen ahead.
He grew increasingly restless, and with Li Shengxiao not opening his mouth, he didn’t dare to say anything. So he just awkwardly watched the projection screen.
On the projection screen, a paparazzo was grilling a portly old man about Rong Yan, using sharp and cunning words, refusing to let go.
[Mr. Huang, it’s said that you had an improper relationship with Rong Yan when she was 17. The rumors are that you kept her as a mistress, is that true?]
[Mr. Huang, Rong Yan suddenly became pregnant five years ago; is the child yours?]
[Mr. Huang, now that the child has been revealed, do you plan to acknowledge the child? Does your wife know about your past with Rong Yan? Rong Yan has returned to the country, re-entering the entertainment industry, even participating in a talent show, gaining tremendous popularity, are you aware?]
[Are you still in contact with her?]
The man on camera looked as though a secret had been poked, hesitated to speak, [I don’t know, don’t ask me, I won’t respond. I do know Rong Yan, but that’s it, I know nothing else…]
