Chapter 729: Chapter 729: The Punishnt Result of Shi Mufeng
“You’re threatening !” Xin Lanye had always been a powerful woman. At HuanYu, her word was law, and at ho, since Shi Zhongnan was often busy with work, she was the one who called the shots. Suddenly feeling threatened, her first reaction was anger.
Yet Rong Weiwei was not afraid of her, “I truly like Mufeng and want to be with him. Why won’t aunt and uncle bless our union?”
“Bless you or bless ‘us’?” Xin Lanye scoffed, “I didn’t expect you to be so cunning, lying in wait for here. You think you’ll have it easy after entering the Shi Family? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!”
“That’s all in the future. I just want to be with Mufeng,” Rong Weiwei said nonchalantly.
In reality, she knew very well that using this thod to get into the Shi Family would not end well for her. But she had no choice, she didn’t anticipate that man being so ruthless—that even Mufeng saw her being assaulted by those thugs. Without resorting to drastic asures, she would even lose the option of being with Mufeng.
At least for now, she couldn’t afford to lose Mufeng!
If that man continued to cause trouble for her, at least the Shi Family’s influence could offer her so protection. Otherwise, in her state, Li Shengxiao could squash her like an insect if he wished.
As for Rong Yan, Weiwei wasn’t very scared.
After all, Jiang iqi had co rushing over.
As long as Jiang iqi was there, she wasn’t afraid of Rong Yan!
She clenched her fists, not looking at the glare Xin Lanye was giving her as if she wished to devour her, trying to appear more composed.
She had no way out!
This ti she really had lost everything, having suffered so much. Once she caught her breath, she would make sure to return all of today’s agony back onto Rong Yan!
As the standoff continued, the door to the hospital room opened.
A distinguished and austere man walked in under the watchful eyes of everyone, with Gu Ming and Cui Jiangjing by his side.
Shi Mufeng, who had been silent and cowering like a quail, had his eyes turn red at the sight of the man, looking as if he was about to commit murder.
Yet, at a glare from Shi Zhongnan, he embarrassingly forced himself to look down.
Shi Zhongnan coughed and was the first to greet Mr. Li, “Mr. Li, I’ve heard that my son has caused trouble again. As a father, I am deeply sorry. I have just looked into the ins and outs of the incident, and it appears that Mufeng might have been unaware. What do you say… Could we possibly rely on the goodwill between our two families and ask you to give this elder so face?”
After saying that, he lowered himself considerably and added, “I know it’s unreasonable to ask this of you, but Mufeng truly might not know anything. I will educate him properly when we get back and make him reflect on his actions abroad for two years before returning!”
This was essentially a promise to send Shi Mufeng abroad for two years.
Rong Weiwei, who had been planning to rely on the Shi Family, heard the previously silent Shi Zhongnan offer such an uncompromising solution and felt her backup plan completely upended.
Cui Jiangjing was in the know about what had happened and cursed Shi Zhongnan internally for being a sly old fox—quick to respond to danger and keen on self-preservation. Even though he ca across as respectable and nothing seed amiss, Cui played along with a smile, pretending as if he hadn’t caught on to Shi Zhongnan’s intention.
Li Shengxiao’s dark, hawk-like eyes glanced at the middle-aged man. His lips briefly t, granting so respect, “Two years?”
Shi Zhongnan imdiately understood his implication and, steeling himself, said through gritted teeth, “Five years!”
Given his age, if Shi Mufeng went abroad for five years before returning, he would hardly climb high on the career ladder.
