Chapter 209: Straight to the Point
"Aunt Bai, I really don't know Su Mu's phone number."
"It's all because my grandfather was in a hurry to go back last time; I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to Su Mu."
"At first, I thought my grandfather would stay in Huadong City for a few more days, so I figured there would be plenty of opportunities to meet with Su Mu. That's why we didn't exchange numbers."
Li Feiyu was indeed very good at telling boldfaced lies with her eyes open.
Now she had shifted the blame entirely onto her own grandfather.
Bai Xiuping looked at Li Feiyu with a meaningful glance.
She hadn't expected someone like Elder Li to have such a granddaughter.
Bai Xiuping felt that the Li Family was truly unfortunate.
Bai Xiuping knew that Li Feiyu was relying on the fact that she hadn't been there at the time and thought that Bai Xiuping knew nothing about it.
Thinking back, if it hadn't been for Li Feiyu's mischief, Elder Li had indeed planned to stay for a few more days.
But then that incident happened, and without a good old-fashioned chat between the elders, Elder Li left for home.
Because of this, her own Elder Su had been unhappy for a while, too.
How could Bai Xiuping possibly not know about such a matter?
It was just that Bai Xiuping hadn't taken notice of the name of this little granddaughter of the Li Family at first.
That's why she hadn't realized it when Li Feiyu first approached her.
"You and Xiao Mu must have only met once, right? Is there something you need with Xiao Mu this time?"
Having seen through Li Feiyu, Bai Xiuping had no intention of saving Li Feiyu's face.
She directly pointed out the fact that Li Feiyu and Su Mu were not close.
Bai Xiuping hoped that Li Feiyu would take the hint and back off, not going to any extreme measures.
"Aunt Bai, I like Su Mu and want to speak to him face-to-face to clear things up."
Li Feiyu was no fool and had of course noticed Bai Xiuping's attitude towards her.
Since Bai Xiuping had made her point clear, Li Feiyu stopped pretending and got straight to the point.
After all, Li Feiyu was determined not to leave the Su Corporation until she saw Su Mu.
Li Feiyu didn't believe that, with the relationship between her grandfather and Elder Su, the Su Corporation could really kick her out, could they?
"Xiao Mu already has a girlfriend; I'm afraid that's rather inappropriate, isn't it?"
Bai Xiuping, after all, still showed some consideration for Elder Li's face and didn't speak too harshly.
She only hoped that Li Feiyu would know when to stop and not make an unreasonable scene.
Li Feiyu hadn't expected Bai Xiuping to be so unsparing and outright refuse her wish to see Su Mu.
Li Feiyu also realized that no matter how fragile she pretended to be, she wouldn't gain Bai Xiuping's sympathy.
Seeing her purpose unachieved, Li Feiyu immediately showed her true, wilful nature.
After all, Li Feiyu saw that Bai Xiuping's attitude towards her wasn't very warm to begin with.
Li Feiyu stopped pretending in front of Bai Xiuping.
Her goal today was to see Su Mu.
Li Feiyu knew that if too much time passed, her grandfather might send someone to bring her back.
Then her trip to Huadong City would truly be for nothing.
And she knew that after this, she wouldn't have such a good opportunity again.
Li Feiyu knew that if she was caught and brought back home, she would definitely be watched by someone sent by her grandfather.
"Aunt Bai, I like Su Mu regardless, and I must see him today."
"Otherwise, I'll just stay at the Su Corporation and not leave."
"If I can't see Su Mu today, I don't know what foolish things I might end up doing."
The words Li Feiyu spoke were full of threats.
Bai Xiuping looked at this girl with a fierce expression on her face, pondering that this must be Li Feiyu's true character.
Do something foolish?
Bai Xiuping chuckled softly.
Does Li Feiyu think she is still three years old?
That she could be so easily scared?
It's still the same old saying, only because of Elder Li's face, Li Feiyu can stand there at Su Family Group.
Otherwise, Bai Xiuping would have had the security throw her out long ago.
Making a scene at Su Family Group?
Doesn't she realize her own significance?
"Xiao Li, call Mr. Fook at home and have him notify the Li Family in Guanghai City that Li Feiyu has come to the Su Family Group."
"Yes, Director Bai."
Assistant Xiao Li, having received the instructions, went out to make the call.
"You, you aren't afraid that I'll stir up trouble within the Su Family Group?"
Since Bai Xiuping utterly disregarded her, Li Feiyu even omitted the formalities at this point.
"We have surveillance here; you are an adult, regardless of what happens, you possess civil capacity."
Bai Xiuping lightly deflected Li Feiyu's threat back at her.
"I, I..."
Confronted with a formidable opponent, Li Feiyu's willfulness and petulance seemed to lose their effect.
Standing there, all Li Feiyu could do was glare at Bai Xiuping.
Li Feiyu hadn't expected Su Mu's mother to be so difficult to handle.
She thought that by acting pitiful, and considering the relationship between her grandfather and Elder Su,
Bai Xiuping would soften and take her back to the Su Family.
When acting pitiful didn't work, Li Feiyu then resorted to threatening her own safety to pressure Bai Xiuping.
After all, if something happened to her at the Su Family Group, the Su Family would surely find it awkward to explain to the Li Family, wouldn't they?
Unfortunately, Li Feiyu was dealing with Bai Xiuping.
Who was completely unimpressed by such tactics.
Having tried both a soft approach and a hard one, Li Feiyu was now out of options.
"You're so eager to see Su Mu, I'll satisfy you, just to honor your grandfather's face."
"But as for Su Mu's feelings, it still depends on what Su Mu thinks."
"I hope you can be mindful of your actions, and not bring too much shame to the Li Family."
Bai Xiuping wasn't made of stone, everyone has their youthful follies.
It's just that Li Feiyu's character is not very likable, that's all.
Considering the relationship between the two families' elders, Bai Xiuping thought it was better for the young people to resolve their own issues.
That's why she agreed to let Li Feiyu meet Su Mu.
As a way for her son to get practice in how to reject undesirable suitors.
Bai Xiuping made up an excuse in her mind.
Truthfully, Bai Xiuping didn't want her son wasting time on someone like Li Feiyu.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make Su Mu fall for me."
There was no telling where Li Feiyu's confidence came from, yet she stated it so assertively.
At this moment, Bai Xiuping felt only one thing about Li Feiyu—she had a thick face.
"Director Bai, Mr. Fook said he will immediately contact the Li Family in Guanghai City."
Assistant Xiao Li, after finishing the call, came in to report.
Upon hearing the assistant's words, Li Feiyu's complexion turned pale.
Her family knew, and it was the Su Family who had contacted them.
Li Feiyu knew that this meant her grandfather would be even more furious now.
Just like what Bai Xiuping said, her grandfather would definitely think she had disgraced the Li Family.
However, as long as she could meet Su Mu and get him to agree to be her boyfriend,
Li Feiyu believed all the lost face would be regained.
By then, her grandfather would surely not punish her.
Of course, how to get Su Mu to agree to be her boyfriend, Li Feiyu already had a plan in mind.
