Chapter 486: Chapter 486: What is called Slapping Face
 

He never imagined that Li Shengxiao would be Rong Yan’s boyfriend, let alone that he would be willing to give Rong Yan an official status in such a public setting!

What he had just done now seemed like a joke.

The stronger he had acted just now, the more painful his face was slapped, that burning sensation made it so he couldn’t even produce a single expression, completely stiff.

“Haha, Mr. Li must have heard wrong,” he muttered, managing to squeeze out nothing but a dry explanation and unable to say anything else.

With so many people present, there was no way he could deny it.

After all, so many people had heard him saying that he wanted the security to throw Rong Yan out.

But at that moment he thought Rong Yan was an intruder! Having security throw someone out couldn’t be more normal! How could he have known that Rong Yan was brought in by Li Shengxiao?

His gaze was heavy, and he gave Rong Yan a bad look.

When it all came down to it, it was still this woman’s deep scheming. He had clearly asked her who her boyfriend was, and she deliberately did not say. She had been giving him the runaround on purpose, deliberately causing him to misunderstand. She was waiting for Li Shengxiao to come along so she could use Li Shengxiao’s influence to put him in his place!

Maybe, before this, Li Shengxiao had never intended to acknowledge her.

It was precisely because he had been too aggressive just now, and she was, after all, brought in by Li Shengxiao himself, so for the sake of face, he gave Rong Yan the status of a girlfriend.

Thinking this, he only felt that Rong Yan was too cunning and he felt repulsed as if he had eaten a fly.

This woman, time and again, had used him, the first time by recording his words without his guard up and posting it online, making him embarrassed.

This time she used him to force Li Shengxiao to acknowledge her.

How could there be such a disgusting woman in this world?

He thought the look he gave Rong Yan, filled with animosity, was very subtle, but he didn’t know all his little movements were observed by the man with eyes like a hawk.

The coldness in Li Shengxiao’s eyes seemed as if it could freeze, and with a simple touch of his thin lips, he said, “I heard wrong? I remember hearing Mr. Shi forcefully stopping my girlfriend, demanding she explain who she’s dating in secrecy. If I’m not mistaken, my girlfriend doesn’t have a father as big as you.”

Isn’t that so?

It’s not anyone else’s dad who’s always meddling in someone else’s affairs—who do they think they are, having their nose in everything?

Shi Mufeng was left feeling both embarrassed and indignant by his words, wanting to erupt in anger, but the other party was Li Shengxiao, so even if he wanted to explode, he needed to weigh his options. Yet without making a statement, it felt like being stepped on the face and ground into the dirt, which was far too unseemly.

He thought that was embarrassing enough, but then Li Shengxiao showed him what it really meant to grind his face into the dirt.

“Isn’t Mr. Shi going to offer my girlfriend an apology?” That nonchalant tone, the naturally dignified look, standing there like an insurmountable mountain, unbreakable!

Shi Mufeng looked at him incredulously, doubting his own ears. Li Shengxiao was asking him to apologize in front of so many people?

Just for a woman?

Being so direct in not giving him face, demanding an apology?

He pursed his lips, just about to refuse.

Li Shengxiao’s eyes held a veiled warning as he looked at him, speaking in a calm and commanding tone, “I remember HuanYu having some cash flow issues recently.”

Shi Mufeng’s body stiffened as if someone had grabbed him by the neck; looking angrily at Rong Yan, he resembled a swan forced into a corner, quickly uttering the word, “Sorry.”
