Shi Mufeng clenched his teeth, his face turning blue with rage as he said, “I don’t drink coffee!”
Gu Ming glanced at him and calmly took over, “Alright, then I will make a cup of coffee for Mayor Shi.”
As he spoke, he walked away.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Shi Mufeng’s handsome face was a mix of pale and flushed, and he wished he could drag Gu Ming back and demand what he meant by that.
Shi Zhongnan gave him a look and moved indifferently towards the sofa area that Gu Ming had mentioned, scoffing, “Humiliating yourself!”
The more Shi Zhongnan said that, the more Mufeng felt he couldn’t face the situation, feeling a strong blow to his pride. However, he didn’t dare defy Shi Zhongnan and could only follow him step by step.
True to his word, Gu Ming indeed made only one cup of coffee and brought it over, setting it on the coffee table in front of Shi Zhongnan. He said politely but distantly, “Mayor Shi, your coffee. I have some company matters to attend to, so please rest here for a while. After Mr. Li finishes his meeting, I will come to get you.”
“Mm, thank you, Assistant Gu,” Shi Zhongnan replied without a change in expression, his tone steady.
Gu Ming said it was no trouble, exchanged a few more polite words, then walked away.
Shi Mufeng sat awkwardly in a corner of the sofa without even a glass of water in front of him. He felt so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to storm out immediately.
But Shi Zhongnan sat there unmovable as a mountain, occasionally sipping his coffee as if they hadn’t been intentionally ignored by the other party, exuding an exceptional air of patience.
Sitting restlessly for a while, Mufeng couldn’t bottle it up anymore and looked discontentedly at the composed middle-aged man, “Dad, what are we doing here?”
Shi Zhongnan glanced at him and set down his coffee cup, his expression mocking as he retorted, “You don’t know why we are here?”
Mufeng furrowed his brows, “I don’t understand… are you saying that what happened last night was a trap set by Li Shengxiao?”
Shi Zhongnan looked at him as if he was looking at waste, forthrightly scolding him back, “You’re not worth the effort for someone to set a trap for! With the way you act, does anyone even need to set a trap for you? Let me tell you, if I wanted to deal with you, I have plenty of ways. For someone like you, I wouldn’t even want to waste the energy to set a trap.”
Mufeng was lambasted mercilessly, and although he knew how shameful his actions the night before had been, he endured the humiliation without talking back. He lowered his voice, sounding depressed, “I also had no idea the police would specifically come to check last night, and that officer had no tact at all, insisting on taking me in.”
At the Lan Club, he had been humiliated by Li Shengxiao in front of his fair-weather friends, unable to save face. Later, surrounded by entertaining models, he inadvertently drank a bit too much. As the night progressed, everything seemed inevitable. He took some people up to a private room in the hotel, just finished satisfying his needs, when suddenly the police burst in, catching him red-handed!
Usually, in situations like that, once he revealed his identity, those underlings would not dare to touch him.
Who knew he would have such bad luck last night.
The stubborn young officer wouldn’t even call his superior, and in his angry and agitated state, Mufeng threw a punch at the young officer. The young officer then unforgivingly handcuffed him and took him to the police station.
What followed was completely out of control. He had been held in the police station all night until his father came to pick him up this morning and finally got him out.
