Rong Nanfengâs heart skipped a beat, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. âBut it would be really tooâ¦â he struggled, unable to finish his sentence.
âYou can try!â Li Shengxiao swept his gaze over the boy who had already fallen asleep not far away, his eyes deadly serious, âAn eight-year-old child has plenty of opportunities for an early demise.â
That casual remark was more threatening than all else!
Rong Nanfengâs complexion changed instantly.
He knew all too well how powerful the man before him was. Describing him as someone who could cover the sky with one hand in Capital City wasnât an overstatement. With the Li Familyâs status and background, quietly snuffing out the heir to an ordinary company was as easy as stepping on an ant.
No, it was easier than stepping on an ant! At least an ant would leave a mark when it died, but with this man making a move, Mu might not leave any trace at allâ¦
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he reluctantly considered complying with Li Shengxiaoâs demand. In his mind, the well-being of Rong Yan and Rong Mu couldnât even compare.
After swiftly weighing the pros and cons, he said with an ugly expression, âI⦠I understand.â
Li Shengxiao merely wanted his promise. Having received it, he indifferently strode away with long steps, ready to leave. Just as he reached the door, the man inside suddenly spoke again, âI know Iâve been a failure as a father, and I havenât cared enough for her over the years. Iâm truly grateful she helped me find Mu this time. I can promise Mr. Li that I will never seek her out again. But I know an entertainment company, and I want to invest in a movie for Yanâer, as my final recompense. Is that okay?â
After listening to his words, Li Shengxiaoâs lips formed a thin line, and without turning back, he rejected the offer, âShe doesnât need it. You have never owed her anything, you just need to understand that from today onwards, she doesnât owe you anything either!â
Rong Nanfeng was never that little ladyâs biological father, and for over a decade, he hadnât fulfilled his responsibilities as a âfather.â However, from a certain perspective, without any blood relation, Rong Nanfeng still owed her a debt of upbringing.
Although, this debt of upbringing existed only under the premise that the man had been duped to the bone. But considering that little ladyâs character, she most likely wouldnât want to owe anyone any favors.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now she had fully repaid even the last bit of debt she owed Rong Nanfeng.
She didnât owe anyone in the Rong Family anything anymore!
As for the movie Rong Nanfeng mentioned, Rong Yan didnât need it! If she needed it, he was ready to present her with the best to choose from. Having him was enough for her!
Rong Nanfeng watched the tall and erect man leave the hospital room, a deep confusion evident in his gaze.
What did Mr. Liâs last words mean?
Unfortunately, no one was there to elucidate that for him.
Li Shengxiao had barely stepped out of the hospital room when Jiang Meiqi, who had followed him out, stopped him. With a not-so-good complexion, Jiang Meiqi confronted him, âI just overheard Mr. Li at the door saying that we should not appear before Rong Yan. What does that mean? I donât agree!â
Her face showed dissatisfaction as she said, âEven if Mr. Li and Rong Yan are dating, it couldnât be to the extent of forcing her to sever ties with her own family, right?â
She seemed to think of something, her expression growing dark and uncertain. âCould it be⦠the things Mr. Li said to us, are they what Rong Yan wanted?â
That little bastard!
She gnashed her teeth in disgust, and a hint slipped through her well-maintained facade.
