Chapter 409 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
“........” Huang Pengde was completely dumbfounded.
His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Xu Fangye was, after all, the general manager of Xu's Group. After so many years in charge of Xu's Group, his aura was far superior to that of a mere insignificant vice president.
With just one look, Huang Pengde felt as if he had been frozen in place, and fear began to creep into his heart.
"Lin Miao, it's your turn."
When her name was suddenly called, Lin Miao's body trembled, and she subconsciously swallowed.
"Xu Fangli, how dare you treat us like this?"
Even now, she's still being stubborn.
Yes, although Lin Miao didn't want to admit it, she was actually scared deep down. She was just putting on a brave face.
"Back then, everyone was young, and everyone made mistakes. If you were dissatisfied, why didn't you bring it up back then? You've been holding a grudge for so many years and you're only now bringing up old grievances. Don't you think you're making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Fang Li: "Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Lin Miao felt awkward and looked away from Fang Li's icy gaze.
Fang Li frowned: "You're right. So many years have passed, and it's a bit late to bring it up now. To be honest, I didn't intend to bring up old grievances in the first place. But some people haven't learned anything over the years and insist on doing bad things behind my back to force me to come here!"
"..." Lin Miao's face fell.
Fang Li: "Speaking of which, out of all these people, you are the one who impressed me the most, Lin Miao."
Lin Miao silently clenched her fists at her sides.
"The fact that my relationship with Song Yuchen became such a big deal both inside and outside the school is all thanks to you. If you hadn't been two-faced, I probably wouldn't have become the laughing stock of the entire high school."
As Fang Li spoke, she slowly walked towards Lin Miao: "I heard you also went to university in Hangzhou? At that time, I was thinking, I hadn't even figured out the environment yet when I started my freshman year, how come the news that I liked Song Yuchen had spread throughout the entire performing arts department? Could you have been behind this too?"
Lin Miao avoided eye contact and bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.
Song Yuchen looked at her with surprise and suspicion, "You........"
"No! Not me! I didn't!"
Lin Miao panicked and offered a haphazard explanation: "I'm not in the same school as you, so why should I pass on messages? Besides, we're all in college now, and the teachers won't care whether we're dating or not. Even if I told you, what impact would it have on you, and it wouldn't do me any good either!"
Song Yuchen stared at her suspiciously.
Fang Li lowered her eyes and sneered, "Who said there are no benefits?"
The two men suddenly looked at her.
Fang Li looked at Lin Miao with a dark gaze, her eyes revealing a wicked glint: "You like Song Yuchen, don't you?"
"...!"
Now, not only Song Yuchen, but many classmates who didn't know about this also showed surprised expressions.
Lin Miao panicked completely, "You, you're talking nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense? So you don't like Song Yuchen?"
Lin Miao fell silent, biting her lips until they turned bloodless.
With this appearance, who wouldn't see it?
Fang Li smiled and said, "You're afraid that I'll be with Song Yuchen, so you spread all sorts of rumors behind my back that I'm throwing myself at him. In our senior year of high school, everyone is busy with their studies and has no time to think about such things, but you're leading everyone to think in that direction."
"You know what it means to backfire, so I secretly sent Song Yuchen all sorts of love letters expressing my feelings in my name, which made Song Yuchen hate me and avoid me like the plague."
"When we got to university and found out we were in the same school, you used the same trick again. But your methods were indeed effective, because your constant announcements made Song Yuchen increasingly annoyed with me, and at the same time, they ruined my reputation at school."
Lin Miao clenched her hands tightly, her whole body trembling like a leaf.
Fang Li: "Do you know Yu Wei? I'm curious, she's Song Yuchen's fiancée now, why don't you go find her, instead of continuing to pester me?"
"........"
"Okay, I get it now."
Fang Li's sudden realization made Lin Miao look up.
Is it right to bully the weak and fear the strong?
Lin Miao's lips trembled, and her gaze abruptly shifted away.
"You still think I'm that submissive little girl from high school, that I'm the country bumpkin you all talk about, living in the mountains with my grandfather and no parents, someone you can bully and vent your anger on, right?!"
Fang Li's voice suddenly rose, and the sharp aura in her eyes instantly silenced the entire hall.
"Lin Miao, if you hadn't shown your face since then, I might have let you go. Unfortunately, you're too unrestrained and always like to make your presence known. How could I possibly swallow my anger if I let you go?"
Lin Miao panicked: "You, what are you going to do?! Xu Fangli, so what if you're a member of the Xu family! You're just a collateral branch. Let me tell you, my sister is the general manager of Yaoxing Media! You're familiar with Yaoxing Media, right? It's a media company under the Shengshi Group in Beijing. With the Shengshi Group, what can a collateral branch of the Xu family do to me!"
The general manager of Yaoxing Media?
Isn't that Sheng Qianrui?
Fang Li raised an eyebrow, then thought for a moment, and another person came to mind.
"Your sister is Lin Lan?"
Lin Miao smiled smugly: "It seems you know that you and Song Yuchen were both artists under my sister's management back then. You still don't know, do you? The reason why Song Yuchen was able to sign with Yaoxing was because of my recommendation."
Fang Li's eyebrows furrowed, and she felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She looked at Song Yuchen and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Song Yuchen lowered his eyes and remained silent, pursing his lips.
Fang Li suddenly sneered, "Fine, that's really good."
"Indeed, the world is a giant circle; no matter how you go around in circles, you always end up back where you started."
Fang Li smiled sarcastically, pointing at Lin Miao: "You're actually Lin Lan's sister? No wonder, no wonder!"
Lin Miao said with an air of authority, "Now you know, even if you are a member of a collateral branch of the Xu family, would the Xu family offend the prestigious Shengshi Group for such an insignificant nobody as you?!"
"Xu Fangli, you've already stolen enough of the limelight tonight, that's enough!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fang Li's expression gradually turned completely cold, devoid of any warmth.
"What is Shengshi Group anyway! Do you think you can act tough in front of me just because of Lin Lan and Sheng Qianrui's names?!"
No one saw that Song Yuchen silently closed his eyes.
The door was slammed open, and a middle-aged man with a round belly and greasy, shiny hair rolled in.
It's no exaggeration to say he rolled in, because he stumbled and practically rolled all the way in.
He staggered several steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, and by sheer coincidence, he knelt right in front of Fang Li and Xu Fangye.
