Rong Yan was not at all surprised.
If he had agreed, he wouldnât have had the guards nearly abduct her to bring her here. Her delicate face showed not the slightest change in expression as she looked toward the elder with a firm gaze, her beautiful eyes steady, âI know.â
What kind of answer was that?
Lin Tingfengâs face was cold and impatient. He held a high position, and every second was extremely valuable, at least not to be wasted on a girl like Rong Yan.
âSince you know, I hope you will leave Shengxiao.â
Rong Yan shook her head, clearly refusing, âSorry, I wonât leave until Li Shengxiao tells me to break up.â
Her answer thoroughly enraged the robust elder.
The elder slammed his teacup down, his eyes on her as sharp as knives, âMiss Rong thinks Shengxiao wonât break up with you?â
Rong Yan met his gaze, calmly stating, âI believe he wonât say it.â
ââ¦â Lin Tingfeng had never encountered someone like Rong Yanâneither forceful nor sharp, but very resilient. She was the second person who could adeptly manage under his heavy hand for so long. If it werenât for this girlâs poor background, maybe he would have given her some consideration, âDo you know that Shengxiao has a fiancée?â
Do you know that Shengxiao has a fiancée?
Rong Yan suddenly lifted her head, her well-proportioned face showing a surprised expression, but she kept her composure, not immediately asking questions as the old man had expected.
It was impossible for Li Shengxiao to have a fiancée, she had never heard him mention it, nor had there been any news about it. Besides, if Li Shengxiao had a fiancée, why would he have a secret marriage with her?
Rong Yanâs heart gradually calmed down, and she looked at the old man without responding.
Lin Tingfeng admired that she was so young yet could remain so composed, not even asking who his fiancée was despite him bringing it up. Even if Rong Yan didnât ask, he couldnât leave it at that, âShengxiao does have a fiancée, and he knows it himself. Itâs a girl suitable for him, chosen when he was 10 years old. That girl has been studying abroad for the past few years and will return soon. Once she comes back, Shengxiao must marry her. Otherwise, Li Group will go bankrupt.â
Otherwise, Li Group will go bankrupt!
Rong Yanâs heart suddenly tightened. She didnât think the elderly man in front of her was trying to intimidate her. Because there was no need! Given the elderâs prestigious status, dealing with her would be like crushing an ant, and if he just wanted to scare her, he could have used any other method. There was absolutely no need to resort to the most low-level and tacky method of lying.
If it wasnât a threat, then what he was saying about Li Group going bankrupt was serious!
Rong Yan subconsciously clenched her hands on her knees, her expression inevitably becoming grave.
âMaybe you young people think you can be content with love and water, and that liking someone means you can charge forward courageously. I also know about Shengxiaoâs stubborn character; once heâs determined, he wonât let go easily. Maybe even knowing the consequences, he wonât tell you anything and will take it all on himself. But are you willing to see him in destitution? At 18, he shouldered the entire Li Group, and you should know better than I how much effort heâs put into Li Group over the past 10 years, living with him every day! Do you want to witness Li International collapse in front of you, his ten years of efforts go to waste, and see him never recover?â
