Chapter 1321: The Story of Ling and Heng (584)
Li Nanheng never showed up with a female companion. It was rare for him to show up at such an event, but he actually kept pestering the second daughter of the Feng family who had a strange background and kept claiming that he was Miss Feng’s fiancée.
More importantly, this second daughter of the Feng family was avoiding Li Nanheng like the plague.
Although this party did not invite any big media, there was no lack of small media. They had already set up their own small cameras.
Especially when she saw that the second daughter of the Feng family seemed to want to slip away from Li Nanheng, the history between the two of them made them even more curious. Logically speaking, the two of them shouldn’t have any interactions, but why did it seem like they had known each other for a long time?
And Li Nanheng’s actions were completely unrelated to the description of not being interested in women.
Feng Ling didn’t expect that Li Nanheng would use the ident.i.ty as his fiancée to suppress her in public.
She seemed to be frozen in place, and her expression was a bit stiff. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Should she deny it loudly? Li Nanheng was helping her after all. It was not good for both of them to hurt his face, but could she just admit it?
She looked at the people around them and pursed her lips silently. The man let go of her and pushed her away by the arm, but his hand remained on her arm. He lowered his eyes to look at her.
Unknowingly, the cufflinks on the man’s wrist had been undone. His sleeves had been rolled up slightly, revealing a firm and beautiful wrist. This embrace and release of his body had dispelled the unapproachable and cold feeling he had in the hearts of the crowd. However, when combined with his ugly and slightly cold expression, it still made the people around him fearful. They did not dare to interrupt him.
Feng Ling looked at him, but her mind was blank.
All of a sudden, CEO E stood by her side and said, “Miss Feng is actually CEO Li’s fiancée? This is really big news. I really didn’t expect this!”
It was clear that CEO E was trying his best to smooth things over. He didn’t take the Feng Corporation seriously, but he didn’t dare to look down on the Li family. If the two of them were to combine, how could they still have a place in the Chinese business circle in America?
In CEO E’s eyes, Feng Ling’s silence really suited Li Nanheng’s words.
She was so angry that she didn’t want to pay attention to him, but she also didn’t want to hurt her fiancé’s face in public, so she just sat there with a cold face and didn’t speak. It was as though they were really close to each other but quarreling and cold warring.
“Scram.” Li Nanheng’s sharp gaze brushed past CEO E’s face.
“CEO Li.” CEO E’s secretary spoke with some difficulty. “Miss Feng and you are both our distinguished guests today. Earlier, it was just a small misunderstanding… It’s all my fault. Earlier, CEO E didn’t want to fuss about the dirt on his clothes, but I was too anxious and said some harsh words. Please don’t take it to heart…”
“A small misunderstanding?” Li Nanheng sneered. “Standing here and speaking with certainty, you’re the one who’s good and you’re the one who’s wrong. Who gave you the right?”
“This… Earlier, Miss Feng’s att.i.tude was indeed too cold and arrogant. I was in a hurry, so I said some nasty words. I didn’t mean… what should I do…” CEO E’s secretary braced himself and said,” CEO Li, please don’t make things difficult for me…”
At this time, Feng Ling had regained her composure. She glanced at the secretary.
Seeing Feng Ling suddenly look at him, CEO E’s secretary subconsciously took a small step back carefully, afraid that Feng Ling would say something and make Li Nanheng, who seemed to have no intention of stopping, do something here.
“It’s just a small matter. Forget it. I’ll pay for CEO E’s clothes, but I can’t fulfill any of CEO E’s other requests. As for financing, let’s wait for the Financial Conference to be put on the table. The banquet should be a happy occasion. Don’t let my small matter dampen your spirits,” Feng Ling said.
“Since Miss Feng has said so, I think we should enjoy ourselves to our heart’s content. It’s just a small episode, haha.” The secretary continued to smooth things over and sighed in relief.
Li Nanheng still ignored him. His cold gaze landed on Feng Ling.
“What did CEO E just ask of you?”
“…” Feng Ling abruptly raised her eyes to look at him, using her gaze to hint to him not to spread this matter any further. She wanted to make peace with him. Right now, the Feng Corporation could not stand such a big storm. The Li Corporation was indeed not afraid of anything, but the Feng Corporation that she had helped up was on the verge of collapse. She had to tolerate it when it was time.
CEO E stood by the side, staring at Feng Ling. He seemed to be afraid that if she moved her lips, he would tell her what he had done to her.
At this moment, there was another commotion. It seemed that those big shots from the financial world had come. The people around immediately turned their heads and rushed in that direction. The surrounding air seemed to become much smoother, clearing Feng Ling’s muddled mind.
“CEO Li.” His a.s.sistant, Yu Zheng, remembered that Li Nanheng came here today because he had something to discuss with the big boss of the financial world. Seeing that he was approaching, he stood behind Li Nanheng and reminded him in a low voice: “Should we go over now, or…”
Li Nanheng seemed not to hear his a.s.sistant’s words. He suddenly sneered and looked at Feng Ling. “Feng Ling, are you sure you want to continue being so awkward with me?”
Li Nanheng had always been Li Nanheng. He was so arrogant that he didn’t have to care about anyone’s eyes or the occasion.
Feng Ling clenched her fists and approached him with difficulty. She said in a voice that only he could hear, “What’s the matter? Can’t we leave this place first?”
After a moment, she heard the man’s soft laughter.
“You want to avoid suspicion?”
“…”
“Very good.” His cold gaze finally s.h.i.+fted away from her.
Feng Ling turned to look at his face. Although the man did not leave immediately, he had already turned to walk toward the crowd.
“Mr. Li, nice to meet you.” The big boss of the financial world stepped forward and shook Li Nanheng’s hand enthusiastically. Although he was very old, he still looked energetic because of his good looks. His eyes were full of admiration and enthusiasm for Li Nanheng.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Mike.” Li Nanheng slightly curved his lips. Although the coldness in his eyes had already disappeared, there was still a hint of ruthlessness in them. When he glanced at the people around him, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
