"Alright, I understand," Mu Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly. Promises of eternal love and devotion were so pale and ridiculous in the face of reality.
"Now that you understand, someone like you, a useless nobody, would be better off dead," Chen Bufang's voice grew sharper.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, you're finally here," Chen Bufang's demeanor suddenly changed after ridiculing Mu Feng. Her flattering smile caused the layers of foundation on her face to crack and fall.
At the entrance of the hotel, a dignified middle-aged man and a girl chewing bubble gum walked in. The girl appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a white Kung Fu outfit with pink lace. She had two pigtails, giving her a playful and amusing appearance.
Mu Feng immediately recognized her as the girl who had stood next to Fei Haiping earlier.
"Ms. Chen, this is our chairman's only daughter, Fei Minmin," the middle-aged man leaned over and whispered to Chen Bufang, "Whether we can secure this project depends on whether you can please her."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I know what to do," Chen Bufang excitedly nodded. She quickly walked up to Fei Minmin, her face beaming with a smile, and said, "Miss Fei, your skin is truly amazing. I envy you so much, sister."
"Who are you calling sister? You're the sister!" Fei Minmin glared at her, her mischievous eyes filled with anger.
Chen Bufang was taken aback and quickly changed her words, "Miss, Miss Fei."
"Do I look that old?" Fei Minmin glared at her again.
Chen Bufang broke out in cold sweat. She didn't expect Fei Minmin to be so difficult to handle.
"I don't know how to address you then?" Chen Bufang wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at Mr. Wang next to her, seeking help.
Fei Minmin disdainfully pouted and murmured, "Just call me the invincible super beautiful girl of youth."
"The invincible... invincible..." Chen Bufang felt that her dignity had been trampled on by a herd of yaks.
"Oh my, luck is really unstoppable." Just then, Fei Minmin spotted Mu Feng standing in the middle of the lobby. She blurted out a curse and rushed towards him like the wind.
Fei Minmin quickly ran up to Mu Feng and, in front of everyone, bowed deeply to him, assuming a sweet and adorable appearance. She respectfully said, "Hello, Master."
"What...?" Chen Bufang was dumbfounded.
The young lady of the Dongzheng Group actually bowed to the "worthless" and "useless nobody" she had just mocked?
Was she dreaming?
"What are you doing?" Mu Feng asked with a cold expression.
"Pay my respects as your disciple."
"Oh, in ancient martial arts, you have to kowtow."
Fei Minmin's eyes gleamed with mischief. Seeing that Mu Feng wanted to refuse, she immediately knelt in front of him and kowtowed three times in a row. Then, like a pitiful little cat, she said with a grievance, "Master, I've kowtowed and paid my respects. Please accept me."
Even as an esteemed Emperor, Mu Feng found himself at a loss due to this unique way of apprenticeship. In his countless years, he had never seen such an eccentric way of paying respects. Wasn't this a forced transaction?
"Master, Master, if you don't like that title, I can change it."
"Once a teacher, forever a father."
"How about calling you 'Dad'?"
Mu Feng listened to her increasingly clueless words and furrowed his brow. He said, "Just get up."
"Did you agree?" Fei Minmin smiled brightly, got up, and stood obediently by Mu Feng's side. Her docile appearance made even Mr. Wang doubt if he had misjudged the situation. It was the first time since becoming the steward in the Fei family that he had seen Fei Minmin so well-behaved.
Keep in mind that this Miss Fei had sent the son of a certain deputy mayor in Haiwang City to the hospital just two days ago.
Trembling, he asked Chen Bufang, "Chen, Ms. Chen, who is that person? Can you introduce him?"
Chen Bufang smiled awkwardly, feeling embarrassed. She had just belittled Mu Feng, but in the blink of an eye, he had become Miss Fei's master?
Even if Chen Bufang was unwilling, she had no choice but to continue.
With a forced smile on her face, she walked up to Mu Feng and said, "Mu Feng, why didn't you tell Auntie about your acquaintance with Miss Fei? You should have mentioned it earlier."
"Auntie was confused. In fact, Xiao Ya cares a lot about you. Today's incident is all my fault."
"Do you still remember? After your college entrance examination, Auntie had just established her company, and you helped out for a while. At that time, I felt that you would definitely have a bright future."
"Is that all?" Mu Feng looked at Chen Bufang expressionlessly. His cold eyes made Chen Bufang swallow the rest of her words.
Mu Feng turned his gaze to Xiao Ya, his eyes devoid of any emotion. They were deep, heartless, and as cold as ice.
"I used to think you were everything to me."
"But now I see it clearly."
"You taught me a very vivid lesson today."
"Thank you for letting me go." Mu Feng's words were light, but each one felt like a sharp dagger, piercing Xiao Ya's heart.
It hurt. Xiao Ya felt her heart twitch.
She didn't know what she was thinking. Was it because of love? Or because of Mu Feng's cruelty?
This was completely different from the image she had in her mind.
In her mind, Mu Feng should be crying and begging without regard for his dignity, trying to change her mind.
Or maybe he never loved her from the beginning?
"Master." Seeing this scene, Fei Minmin suddenly understood.
"Don't call me Master."
"Wow, don't tell me... you actually like that kind of tone? Daddy?"
"..." Mu Feng was speechless for a moment. He felt the urge to pick up Fei Minmin and throw her out.
"Just call me by my name. Whether you can become my disciple depends on your destiny."
"Then I'll call you Mr. Mu. That's how my dad calls you," Fei Minmin giggled.
"How does your dad know my name? Did he investigate me?" Mu Feng's eyes turned cold, and in an instant, Fei Minmin felt like she had fallen into an icy
abyss.
Fei Minmin trembled and quickly explained, "No, my father was dealing with yesterday's incident and saw your name in the police investigation records."
Chen Bufang stood there with an embarrassed expression. Her heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys were all trembling. The person in front of her was the heiress of the Dongzheng Group, but now she showed such respect to a senior student? Her fearful appearance was like that of an employee facing their immediate superior.
If she treated Mu Feng better, her advertising company would soar to great heights, wouldn't it? Just a nod from Fei Minmin could sustain dozens of companies like hers.
"Mr. Mu, who are these two women?" Fei Minmin knowingly asked.
"Not familiar."
"Oh, that's good. I thought you were friends," Fei Minmin giggled and then turned around, calling out, "Manager Wang, I'll book the entire hotel tonight. Get everyone out of the hotel."
"Yes," Mr. Wang nodded slightly.
Without even looking at Chen Bufang and her daughter, Fei Minmin grabbed Mu Feng's arm and said with a smile, "Mr. Mu, my father has always wanted to invite you to dinner. We finally found an opportunity, so you can't refuse."
Fei Minmin's words completely shattered Chen Bufang. The chairman of the Dongzheng Group had always wanted to invite Mu Feng to dinner. What exactly was Mu Feng hiding?
Could it be that he was some noble scion in disguise?
