Chapter 860: Chapter 860: No Need for Money or Favors
His handso face was calm, but his gaze was sharp and forceful, “I heard that the Zhong family had a batch of goods detained by customs at the port, where contraband was found inside. Tomorrow I’ll make a call to customs to have the goods released, and you can send soone to pick them up.”
At the ntion of that batch of goods, Zhong Yuye’s expression changed slightly, showing a smile that was not quite a smile as he glanced at him, then swept his gaze over Rong Yan, and rested it back on the noble visage of the man, not sure if he was serious or mocking, “Mr. Li is really generous, using just a small favor to exchange for goods worth hundreds of millions!”
Li Shengxiao, too, did not know if he had caught the underlying aning in his words, with his arm around Rong Yan’s shoulders, his eyelashes did not even flicker, “I just don’t want my girlfriend to owe anything to others, neither money nor favors are necessary.”
… I just don’t want my girlfriend to owe anything to others, neither money nor favors are necessary!
With that statent, it was bound that the al would end not on a pleasant note.
Indeed, it was not long before Zhong Yuye found an excuse to leave.
“Phew.” Rong Yan, caught in the middle, was nearly squeezed into a sandwich. Finally, with one gone, she struggled to find her own space, “Well, Li Shengxiao, you can let go now, I can hardly breathe.”
She had been suffocating since the beginning, yet had to sit there and listen to their tit-for-tat, making her feel as if she were repeatedly deep-fried in oil.
Was she so eager to get away from him? Li Shengxiao was in a bad mood, his handso face not looking very pleasant, but he retracted his arm from around Rong Yan’s shoulders, leaning casually on the chair. He clearly hadn’t moved, and there was no excess expression on his handso face, yet for so reason, the atmosphere in the box had suddenly dipped to freezing.
Estelle and Qi Yue had long been too scared to speak, keeping their eyes down, while only the beautiful little boy at the table seed unaware, casually waving his little hands and using a spoon to scoop up the strawberry cake that Rong Yan had bought for him.
The strawberry cake was sweet, just like his Little Demon Rong, intricately delightful.
Li Duidui completely ignored the man emanating dark vibes, his mouth getting sared with cream, still blissfully smacking his lips.
Gu Ming did not have the guts to do so, under such pressure his heart was pounding, tily stepping forward to break the silence, “Mr. Li, have you had lunch yet?”
Rong Yan also turned to face him, “You haven’t eaten yet?”
She thought he had eaten at so business al, could it be that he hadn’t?
Li Shengxiao placed his fingers on the dining table, evidently in a bad mood, “No.”
Rong Yan glanced down at the ti on her phone, hissing, it was already one o’clock. She raised her head, rubbed her temples, and asked Gu Ming, “Assistant Gu, when does his schedule begin in the afternoon?”
Gu Ming, always aware, imdiately responded, “Mr. Li has to et with a representative of an international organization at two thirty. It would suffice for Mr. Li to be at the company by two twenty.”
“I see.” Rong Yan withdrew her gaze, knowing well the representative of the international organization ntioned by Gu Ming was no ordinary person. She placed her hand on the man’s arm, calculated the ti and said, “Li Shengxiao, let take you to eat sothing.”
“Your stomach isn’t good, you can’t skip als or your stomach will hurt again.” His stomach pains were always frightful, his face would turn paler than paper, and his forehead would break out in a lot of fine sweat.
