Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Thoroughly Taught A Lesson
After walking out of Li Group, Shi Zhongnan had a stern face the whole time, and it wasn’t until he got into the car that he rolled down the window and said to Shi Mufeng, who had covered his face and followed him out, “I hope you firmly remember what happened today! Li Shengxiao is not someone you can provoke. Don’t be fooled by his air of elegance and aloofness, as if nothing can pique his interest. He’s like a lion that appears lazy and relaxed most of the time; but once you cross the line, he will tear you to shreds to set an example! Do you see clearly now? That girl is his boundary. If you step over it again, don’t expect me to help you!”
Shi Mufeng, deep down, did not agree with his father’s assessment of Li Shengxiao, but he had indeed caused trouble this time. Even if he felt a little resentment in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.
Shi Zhongnan’s square face carried a sense of authority from years of being in a dominant position, and it was no problem to suppress Shi Mufeng with his presence, “You’d better really remember it in your heart, and not just say it.”
“I don’t care what kind of entanglement you have with that girl, but from now on, if you can’t force a smile when you see her, then steer clear of her, go find a place to bury yourself, and don’t bump into her again! Do you understand what I mean?”
Retreating three feet from a woman, especially one cunning and pretentious, made Shi Mufeng feel a strong sense of humiliation.
He clenched his teeth, avoiding Shi Zhongnan’s scrutinizing gaze with a pale face, and said in a weak voice, “Dad, rest assured, it won’t happen again. If I see her, I’ll stay out of her way.”
Shi Zhongnan knew very well his son’s inborn pride that had been indulged by their family; he did not believe Shi Mufeng’s promise. Before rolling up the car window, he said indifferently, “In a few days, I’ll transfer my secretary to your side. Yannan is ten years your senior; he will teach you how to behave yourself.”
Shi Mufeng’s head shot up, his cheeks’ muscles trembled with restrained emotion.
Was he so untrustworthy that, for a woman, a secretary had to be arranged to be by his side?
Shi Zhongnan didn’t care at all about his feeble resistance, turned his head, and looked away, “I have another meeting to attend. You go back on your own. Your mother is at home waiting for you. Go and let her know you’re safe.”
Shi Mufeng found it hard to breathe under his father’s forceful demeanor; he obediently lowered his head, “Hmm, I understand.”
Shi Zhongnan rolled up the car window, not even casting a glance his way, and the car smoothly drove off…
As the car gradually disappeared into the distance, his phone vibrated once more. He took out the phone he had dared not touch before and glanced at the caller ID. His already sour mood grew even more irritable.
Rong Weiwei had finally gotten through to his phone, and asked urgently, “Where are you? Why didn’t you answer my calls just now?”
Normally, Shi Mufeng would have thought that with such concern in her tone, she must be worried about him. But maybe because of his current mood, he felt like he was being controlled. Furrowing his brows, his handsome face still bore the imprint of the earlier slap, and with the lack of sleep, his eyelids were purplish, his stubble unkempt, completely devoid of his usual, spirited demeanor—he didn’t look at all like the young, prominent man of Capital City that he normally was when he stepped out the door.
Shi Mufeng contained his emotions, “I was busy just now and it wasn’t convenient to answer the phone. Is there an emergency why you’re calling?”
If it wasn’t an emergency, he didn’t want to deal with anyone right now, including his fiancée.
