Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Suddenly Pressed Shi Mufeng’s Face Against the Wall
She hung up just like that, a clear-cut departure without giving the person on the other line a chance to ask her anything.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Yan walked back with a sense of relief. Halfway there, however, the door of another private room opened, and she ran right into someone she detested.
“Rong Yan?” Shi Mufeng had not expected to encounter her here. After a moment of surprise, his handsome face took on a loathsome expression. “What are you doing here?”
“Where I am seems to have nothing to do with you!” Rong Yan responded coldly, trying to walk past him. “Move!”
Shi Mufeng was irritated by her attitude and purposely stood in her way. “Isn’t Li Shengxiao with you?”
As they argued in the hallway, others in the private room also took notice.
Inside sat the well-known second generations from Capital City. Although not as top-tier as the circles Li Shengxiao and Cui Jiangjing belonged to, those seated were also influential second generations from prominent families.
“Mufeng, who are you arguing with? Do you know this beauty?” A few of Shi Mufeng’s close playboy friends came out from the private room, eyeing Rong Yan with a scrutinizing gaze. “Could she be one of your company’s female artists?”
She had the looks and the figure. If she were a starlet of HuanYu, they might consider having some fun with her.
Rong Yan’s face darkened as she turned to Shi Mufeng. “You shouldn’t have forgotten how I made you back off last time. I’ll say it again, move!”
He hadn’t brought it up, but at the mention of it, Shi Mufeng remembered how, at the banquet in Lin City, Rong Yan had kicked him in the groin, almost bringing him to his knees in agony.
And then there was the arrival of Li Shengxiao who suddenly announced Rong Yan was his girlfriend, causing Shi Mufeng’s humiliating slap in the face.
His handsome face suddenly darkened, and his eyes turned icy as if they could drip water, hiding neither his disgust nor his contempt as he stood in Rong Yan’s way. “Rong Yan, stop pretending. If Li Shengxiao isn’t here with you, who did you come with? With your status, you have no right to be in a place . What, isn’t clinging to a big tree satisfying enough for you, or are you out here to ‘make some extra money’?”
The way he said “make some extra money” was as venomous and vulgar as could be, far from what one might expect from a scion of wealth.
Rong Yan’s pretty face chilled, and she was about to burst into flames.
The atmosphere in the hallway suddenly shifted. The men who had been following Shi Mufeng and looking at Rong Yan with malicious intent seemed to see something terrifying, and they abruptly straightened up like mice who had just spotted a cat.
Shi Mufeng sensed something was off and turned to see what was happening. The next second his neck was seized, and before he could react, his face was slammed against the wall, leaving him seeing stars.
“Mr. Shi seems to have difficulty understanding my words.” The man who suddenly appeared was tall and distinguished, with a breathtaking noble visage. One hand pressed firmly against Shi Mufeng’s head, he seemed like a tiger gripping a frantically scurrying monkey, his lazy posture exuding a fierce aura.
Rong Yan had only just ended the call, not expecting the man who had said he still had some matters to take care of to appear behind her.
“Li, Mr. Li…” The others were stunned by the scene, the second generations turning pale as sheets.
Shi Mufeng had not anticipated that Li Shengxiao and Rong Yan had come together. His head was pressed against the wall, immobilized as he listened to the man’s lofty voice. “Do I need to repeat that Rong Yan is my girlfriend, or should I personally go find Mayor Shi and have a good talk with him?”
