105 NOT A THREA (2/2)
”Feng'er, I did not know that Hu Lei came back to town.” She said in a measured voice.
Zhong Feng's became sharper as he looked at his sister. Her strange tone was too loaded, as if it was meant to communicate a secret message. Zhong Feng could naturally understand the message, and he did not like it.
”I will get us some drinks.” Kong Ou said and left the table.
The siblings did not look at him.
”Is that a threat?” Zhong Feng asked.
Zhong Mian smiled casually. However, inside, there was a voice telling her to stop. Her relationship with her brother could not be considered bad at this point. If she continued with this path, everything could be ruined again.
In her mind, she considered the debt she felt she owed her brother from long time ago paid after he took over the company. But it had still been difficult to get to a place of eating together with him, especially after the last drug incident.
If she used Hu Lei against him, things could get messy. Zhong Feng was a dragon among men but even he had his vulnerability. Hu Lei was his reverse scale.
But she did not want to stop. She had felt like she would erupt since the beginning of this dinner. Even though she could accept everything that had been said by her boyfriend, it was still humiliating seeing her man fawning over that flimsy girl like there was no tomorrow.
She had always believed that Kong Ou liked her strength, power and independence. However, he was almost prostrating himself before a girl who was the complete opposite of her. It caused her mind to be strained to the point of exploding.
”It is not a threat. But you know how mum and dad feel about her. Moreover, if the public got wind of anything, it would be a hundred times worse than my relationship.” It was almost as if she was not in control of her body.
”Very well, you can consider me as your support when you decide to make your relationship official.” Zhong Feng said unexpectedly.
Naturally, he was not afraid of her small threats. His father probably already knew about Hu Lei's return. And if he could not even protect his most important person, how could he be considered the unrivalled ruler of Supreme City and beyond? His power was something that Zhong Mian could not fathom.
In Hu Lei's words, he had agreed because he thought that it was interesting. He wanted to see what his sister hoped to accomplish by threatening him.
Zhong Mian felt a chill when he agreed. Still, she decided to take it as a win even though the dissatisfaction with Hu Lei did not fade away. If anything, the annoyance seemed to grow. She had assumed that Zhong Feng would refuse her terms. After all, he did not like being forced to do anything.
If he refused, she would feel better because it would be proof that her brother did not care as much. Hu Lei might also accidentally come know that she was not that special. Now, she felt a little lost, and the taste of victory felt bitter.
