My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1504: Forcibly Clinging to Relations by Association

“Mr. Li, is Yan alright?” The man blocking the way looked well-maintained, his square face exuding a scholarly elegance, and his designer suit indicating a comfortable lifestyle. At this moment, his face was full of genuine concern, as if he was truly worried about Rong Yan’s safety.

Li Shengxiao, however, saw through the hypocrisy from the woman and little boy he brought along.

The woman was dressed appropriately, with exquisite makeup, not looking like she had rushed over, but more like she was dressed for an important dinner.

The small boy standing beside her was also decked in designer brands, with slight impatience in his eyebrows, occasionally staring down at the tip of his shoes, kicking the small stones at his feet. If not for his parents restraining him, he probably would have run back to play video games long ago.

He couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first met Rong Yan when she suddenly dashed out into the road and was hit by his car, wearing nothing more than a cheap T-shirt and clean jeans. She was so light that he could easily pick her up. Unlike this family before him, who exuded an air of privilege that was simply irritating!

Perhaps his aura was too cold, causing Rong Nanfeng to awkwardly press his lips together and call out again, “Mr. Li?”

Li Shengxiao’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Forcing out an expression, he continued to ask anxiously, “I heard about Yan and was very worried, so I rushed over. Is there any news about Yan?”

Li Shengxiao rarely wasted time on unworthy people, but seeing him act the caring father and looking at the woman and boy he deliberately brought to show face, his inner disgust reached its peak. His gaze was unruly, three parts cold, seven parts fierce, like the Siberian winter wind blowing on the man eager to perform, he asked bluntly, “Who are you?”

He was the focal point of the crowd, with many people looking this way. Once the words were out, many began to look at Rong Nanfeng with mocking ridicule.

“Who is this guy, putting on airs in front of Mr. Li?”

“Seems like he’s the boss of Rong Construction.”

“Rong Construction has been developing well these years. I understand his desire to suck up, but doing it so blatantly in front of so many people is disgraceful, tsk, such a shame.”

“Haha, small-time people are like this, eager to climb up at the slightest chance! Can’t he see the background of Mr. Li? People like him are just invisible to Mr. Li. Going up to get slapped in the face, it’s just too hasty.”

Though Rong Yan was famous, the Rong Family always presented Rong Weiwei as their only daughter to the public, so many people were unaware of his connection to Rong Yan.

Only a few who knew the inside story shared the same disdain for his attempts to ingratiate himself.

Rong Nanfeng was a well-known figure in Capital City, with the Rong Family starting their prosperity from his grandfather’s generation, making him the third generation. Only after three generations can wealth be considered noble. He indeed wasn’t truly in the Capital City’s high society. In the eyes of the real noble circle there, the Rong Family was but a nouveau riche. Unless Rong Mu could continue to support the growth and expansion of Rong Construction, the Rong Family could never be considered aristocratic, let alone compare to the illustrious status of Li Shengxiao. Hence, he wanted to cling to the man in front of him to help the Rong Family gain access to the real upper echelon earlier.

He also heard the whispers around him, and though it was hard to save face, he could only force a smile and cautiously explain, “Mr. Li, we’ve met a few times. I…”
