Chapter 1504: Chapter 1505: Mu, don’t you like your sister the most?

Li Shengxiao interrupted him coldly and impatiently, “What position are you in to question me about Rong Yan?”

What position? His expression froze for a moment. He stammered, “I’m Yan’s father. Isn’t it only natural for me to care about her…?”

“You’re her father?”

Li Shengxiao’s expression was a mix of mockery and amusement. The look made Rong Nanfeng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, but he had no choice but to brace himself and reply, “I was too focused on work before and neglected her upbringing, which made her suffer a lot at home. After learning the truth, I have always wanted to make up for the familial love she missed. I’ve invited her several times to come home for dinner, but she refused. Maybe she doesn’t want to revisit those unhappy memories.”

“Yan… she lost out on so much because of me. I’ve always been very grateful to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li for taking care of her.” He sounded like the kindest father in the world. After finishing, he turned to the visibly impatient Rong Mu beside him and said, “Mu, quickly thank Mr. Li for taking care of your sister.”

Rong Mu pursed his lips unhappily and replied perfunctorily, “Thank you.”

Rong Nanfeng had been laying the groundwork for a while now just to show concern for his daughter in front of Li Shengxiao, hoping to earn the man’s favor. Unexpectedly, despite all the reminders on the way, Rong Mu ended up showing his usual Little Tyrant attitude from home. Rong Nanfeng’s expression darkened by the second, but restrained by the occasion, he didn’t erupt. Still, anyone with eyes could see he was extremely dissatisfied with Rong Mu’s behavior!

The elegantly made-up young woman standing next to Rong Mu immediately pulled at him and, half-explaining and half-defending, offered a smile. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Li. Mu has been spoiled by me. But in reality, he cares deeply for his sister. He’s always pestering me to invite her home to play.”

To prove the authenticity of her words, she subtly bumped Rong Mu and bent down slightly in a coaxing tone. “Mu, do you like Sister Yan? You know, the one who saved you at the bar last time.”

Rong Mu, after being nudged by his own mother and glared at by his father, let his temper as a young master flare up. He angrily shook off her hand and puffed up his cheeks, grumbling, “I’ve invited her so many times to play with me. Didn’t she just keep saying no? Fine then, she doesn’t like me, and I don’t like her either! What’s so great about her anyway? What’s the big deal? She’s just a celebrity—like she could possibly have more money than our family!”

“Rong Mu!” Rong Nanfeng’s face turned livid as he raised a hand furiously, as if about to hit him.

The young woman immediately shielded the boy, pleading pitifully, “Nanfeng, he’s just a child. What if you injure him? He’s just being silly and spouting nonsense. Don’t get angry. I’ll apologize on his behalf to Mr. Li.”

“Mr. Li, I’m sorry. Please don’t take it to heart. Kids say whatever comes to mind, but he really didn’t mean that. He truly cares about his sister.”

Her pitiful demeanor, to anyone who didn’t know better, would make it seem as if Li Shengxiao had wronged her somehow.

Among the crowd already paying attention to the commotion, someone suddenly let out a mocking snort.

The evening breeze carried not only the scent of camphor trees but also the sound of discreet laughter.

“Oh my god, where did this woman come from? She’s so embarrassing. Does she think she’s competing for a man? Acting like some mistress trying to appeal to Mr. Li. Her son mouths off, and all she can say is, ‘Don’t mind him.’ Does she even know who she’s talking to? Is her brain malfunctioning? And then she plays the pitiful victim, as if Mr. Li used his status to bully her. Tsk, tsk. What’s wrong with Mr. Rong? Bringing a woman like her out in public—how utterly shameless.”
