Chapter 662: Chapter 662: This is the Real Warning
Li Shengxiao didn’t even glance at Shi Mufeng, but calmly looked towards Shi Zhongnan, and said outright, “Does Mayor Shi know what your son has done?”
“I have a general idea. However, what I know might not be comprehensive,” Shi Zhongnan had an open and honest demeanor from the outset, “My son was in the wrong, and I will certainly discipline him properly when I return. I don’t blame Mr. Li for having the police issue a notification, it was his own doing, nobody forced him with a knife to his throat. Getting caught was his own fault! It’s just…”
Shi Zhongnan’s voice took a turn, “I’ve always stood behind the old man, and I have only this one son, so I still hope he can follow in my footsteps. I hope Mr. Li can give him another chance for my sake. Let’s put an end to this matter, and not let the police disclose it further.”
He had declared his stance first, then humbly asked Li Shengxiao for a favor, abandoning the airs of a senior; he was willing to stoop quite low for the sake of Shi Mufeng’s future.
There are sides to take in a political career, and Shi Zhongnan had always stood with the Lin Family in these years, if one were to trace it back, they could be considered allies.
It’s just that Li Shengxiao’s relationship with the Lin Family had become ambiguous since he was 18, and no one could be sure he would grant the favor.
Even Shi Zhongnan himself wasn’t a hundred percent certain that Li Shengxiao would acquiesce.
Fortunately, the distinguished man narrowed his hawk-like eyes and showed no signs of wanting to make things difficult, “I have given Mayor Shi face many times; he can ask your son how many times I’ve warned him.”
“I’ve told him more than once that Yanyan is my girlfriend. But your son keeps turning a deaf ear to my words, repeatedly looking for trouble with my people behind my back. Yesterday at Lan Club, he intercepted my person, and with a group of friends cornered them in the corridor of Lan Club, humiliatingly suggesting my girlfriend was out earning extra money. If it weren’t for the sake of relations between the two families, he would have lost his tongue by now, rather than standing here, apologizing to me!”
Shi Mufeng had also told Shi Zhongnan about the incident at Lan Club earlier, but he had been vague about the part where he intercepted Rong Yan, and very detailed about how Li Shengxiao dealt with him afterwards.
As soon as Li Shengxiao mentioned earning extra money, Shi Zhongnan suddenly stood up, turned around, raised his hand, and struck forcefully with a slap!
“Smack!” Shi Mufeng suddenly received a round slap to the face, stumbling, holding his face, corner of his mouth cracked and bleeding.
After the quick slap, Shi Zhongnan glared at him with a look of disappointed anger and said harshly, “You worthless thing! To even bully a girl, what good can come of you!”
“I order you, go and apologize to them!”
Shi Mufeng, seeing stars from the slap and with his pride shouted away, lost all his bluster and, holding his face in defeat, he ground the muscles on both sides of his jaw and said through gritted teeth, “Yes, Dad, I will apologize properly.”
Li Shengxiao, looking at the two in front of him, interrupted indifferently, “No need. She doesn’t want to see Mr. Shi.”
“I also had no intention of having the police publicly disclose the name directly, otherwise I would have done so from the start. By making the disclosure partial, I was making it so Mayor Shi would take time out of his busy schedule to come here. There are some things your son doesn’t understand, but I think you will.”
“Rong Yan is the woman I’m committed to as my girlfriend and will be my wife in the future! I don’t want similar incidents to happen again, or nothing will outweigh my relationship with her. Do you understand my point, Mayor Shi?”
