Chapter 593: The Call Goes Through But Isn’t Answered
Later, when she truly became worried, guessing that she might have taken Rong Mu to the hospital, she searched several hospitals but found no one. In her anxious state, coupled with her concern for Rong Mu, she rushed to Dark Night only to discover the police had arrived. From the onlookers, she learned that there had been quite a commotion inside earlier, with alarms and fights that seemed quite serious. Some people even said that stretchers had carried out two or three individuals. She was not sure about Rong Yan’s situation and couldn’t contact anyone, so she… called Li Shengxiao.
After she finally got through to Rong Yan’s phone, she found out that Rong Yan was fine, and she regretted not staying calm at that moment.
“Mr. Li hasn’t gone back yet?” Gu Linxi was still not at ease about Rong Yan, “Should I come over and keep you company?”
Rong Yan hadn’t expected Gu Linxi to actually call Li Shengxiao; she had originally wanted to keep the whole matter a secret.
However, as painful as it was, she knew Gu Linxi was worried about her, which is why in a moment of urgency, she had called that man.
“He hasn’t come back yet. No need, I’ll give him a call and ask where he is. By the way, Xixi, how long ago did you make that call?”
“About forty minutes ago.”
Strange, she didn’t have any missed calls from Li Shengxiao on her phone.
After speaking with Gu Linxi for a few more sentences, Rong Yan hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, then dialed Li Shengxiao’s number.
The call connected quickly, but no one answered.
She tried once more, and the situation repeated itself.
No answer to the connected call.
“Could he have not seen it?” Rong Yan wasn’t sure if it was a missed call or if he was angry.
After some thought, she went back to the living room, looked down, and sent a message.
At Kangfei Hospital, Rong Nanfeng’s face was flushed red with fury and frustration, as he incredulously stared at the man who arrived with a cold aura. Under the man’s domineering presence, Rong Nanfeng managed only after a great effort to force out a question through clenched teeth, “What does Mr. Li mean? Is he asking me to sever ties with my daughter?”
Li Shengxiao’s gaze was colder and more intimidating than ever before, constricted and aggressive, “Yes.”
Rong Nanfeng found it utterly absurd, “Yan’er is my own daughter. I admit, I was a bit impulsive in this matter, but I had no ill intentions. I was just worried… I am grateful that Yan’er helped me take Mu out. I will compensate her. Isn’t Mr. Li’s direct request for me to sever ties with Yan’er a bit too much?”
Rong Nanfeng had indeed begun to see Rong Yan in a new light, feeling grateful and somewhat guilty towards her for taking Rong Mu out.
So when Li Shengxiao showed up, Rong Nanfeng’s first reaction was not to comply with his demands, but reluctance.
Li Shengxiao didn’t care to know what he was thinking, looking at him indifferently, standing there casually yet exuding an oppressive aura, “I don’t want to give you any more chances. Mr. Rong just needs to remember my demand, starting today, do not reach out to her for any reason. Similarly, unless absolutely necessary, do not appear in front of her again!”
Rong Nanfeng couldn’t accept it, “Yan’er is my daughter, she…”
“She is not!” Li Shengxiao’s dark eyes, hawk-like, pinned him down, his lips barely parting in a perfect expression of cold possession, “She is mine!”
“She belongs to no one else, she’s mine exclusively!”
“…” Rong Nanfeng gaped at him as if he had seen a ghost.
What did this mean, even if the two were dating, such possessiveness was surely going overboard!
The imposing man looked down at him with icy cold eyes, his tone merciless as he said, “If Mr. Rong does not want the Rong family to vanish from Capital City, feel free to test my limits again!”
