Chapter 289 She must leave this place
"I am very satisfied with Miss Zhuang. If we become family, everything will be easy to discuss." Li Feng picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and squinted his eyes as if savoring the taste of the wine.
"Has President Song agreed?"
Li Feng asked another question. Although he considered himself to be quite wealthy and that Zhuang Ling was not being wronged by following him, he also had to consider Song Hongyi's opinion. He had heard that Song Hongyi valued this illegitimate daughter very much, which was one of the reasons why he was satisfied with Zhuang Ling.
Mrs. Song lowered her eyes to hide her guilty look and replied with a smile, "Of course my husband is willing. A marriage alliance with President Li would benefit everyone, as long as you don't mind that Zhuang Ling is an illegitimate child."
Li Feng nodded, "It's nothing, it's not my first marriage."
Zhuang Ling calmed down in the bathroom, thinking about how to politely decline her blind date without affecting the Song family's business.
The best way is to make the other person dislike you, so she looked in the mirror and removed her makeup.
After removing her makeup, Zhuang Ling lost the sharpness of a white-collar worker and gained the innocence of a girl next door. Looking at herself in the mirror, she became a little timid. Would the other person not like her anymore?
Wealthy and powerful families probably prefer women who are generous and good at socializing!
Zhuang Ling returned to the private room and sat down timidly.
Li Feng looked up and saw Zhuang Ling after she removed her makeup, and his heart itched even more. He liked this kind of pure and innocent girl, because it was more fun to train her.
He raised his glass to Zhuang Ling, "Miss Zhuang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Zhuang Ling picked up his glass and said softly, "Mr. Li, I'm not a big drinker."
Li Feng tilted his head back and drank the entire glass of wine, then placed the glass on the table, speaking rather loudly, "Do you not want to drink, or do you not know how to drink? Are you disrespecting me, Li Feng?"
“Zhuang Ling,” Madam Song advised from the side, “President Li has finished his glass of wine, you should at least have a little, it’s good manners.”
Zhuang Ling hesitated for a long time while holding the wine glass. She really wasn't good at drinking. She had drunk before, but she was the type who was fine if she didn't drink at all, but would get drunk as soon as she did.
She was now in a dilemma. If she didn't drink, Mr. Li's expression would become increasingly unpleasant, and Mrs. Song next to her was also getting anxious.
If she drank, she was afraid she would get drunk and act recklessly, unable to control herself, and offend those two people, which would be a greater loss than gain.
Zhuang Ling stared at the wine glass and smelled it.
Madam Song's muscles stiffened as she nervously watched Zhuang Ling, afraid that she would smell something.
Zhuang Ling smelled the alcohol and felt that the alcohol content wasn't high, so drinking half a glass shouldn't be a problem. She bit her lip lightly and asked, "Can I just drink half a glass?"
Li Feng smiled and nodded.
Zhuang Ling drank half a glass of wine, smacked his lips, and said it was a little sweet and quite delicious.
Li Feng then asked Zhuang Ling some personal questions, to which Zhuang Ling gave ambiguous answers.
Madam Song felt that Zhuang Ling's answer was not good, so she added to it from the side.
Midway through, Li Feng also went to the restroom.
Taking the opportunity, Zhuang Ling expressed his thoughts to Madam Song, "Madam, I don't think Mr. Li and I are a good match. Why don't you find an opportunity to talk to him about it?"
Madam Song scoffed, "What's wrong with it? Mr. Li is in the engineering business, his company is huge. If you could marry into it, you'd be living a life of wealth and luxury for the rest of your life."
"Mr. Li is a bit old and has been married three times, but you, as an illegitimate daughter, are already marrying above your station. Do you really want to marry into a legitimate wealthy family?"
Mrs. Song said, then curled her lip, "You really have the same big heart as your mother. You think that just because you have a vixen's face, you can seduce men everywhere? I advise you to give up on that idea and settle down to marry President Li."
Upon hearing Madam Song's words, Zhuang Ling was consumed by rage. She couldn't stand anyone insulting her mother. Perhaps it was the alcohol, but she stood up, picked up her half-finished glass of wine, and splashed it directly onto Madam Song's face.
"You're the vixen! My mother is upright and honest, and has never seduced any other man. My father fell in love with my mother first, and he was going to marry her. If my mother hadn't gone into hiding, you wouldn't be Mrs. Song!"
When Zhuang Ling poured the wine, Madam Song's mouth was open, and quite a bit of the wine went into her mouth.
She screamed and swallowed the wine in her mouth. Madam Song panicked and spat a few times, trying to spit out the wine she had drunk, but unfortunately, she couldn't spit out what was in her stomach.
"You little bitch, have you gone too far?"
Madam Song blushed with anger and raised her hand to hit Zhuang Ling, but Zhuang Ling was not one to be bullied. She grabbed Madam Song's wrist and pushed her away.
Just as Madam Song was about to pounce again, Li Feng returned.
"What happened?"
Madam Song composed herself, forced a smile, and wiped the wine off her face with a tissue. "It's alright, the wine glass spilled and got all over me."
She looked at Li Feng and said, "Mr. Li, I have to go back now. I'll leave Zhuang Ling in your care."
Li Feng nodded. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Zhuang."
Madam Song glared at Zhuang Ling, then turned and left.
Zhuang Ling patted her cheeks; she felt very hot, her face burning. Was she about to get drunk?
She couldn't stay any longer; her head was spinning. Zhuang Ling picked up her bag and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good match. This meal is on me. I'll be leaving now."
Li Feng grabbed Zhuang Ling's arm. "What's the rush? Sit a little longer, I'll take you home."
"No need, I can just take a taxi myself."
Zhuang Ling tried to pull her arm away, but Li Feng held it tightly, and she couldn't break free; her legs were still a little weak.
Something's not right. Zhuang Ling shook her head, finally managing to put the two Li Fengs in front of her together. She couldn't delay any longer. She relaxed her body and said, "Mr. Li, I'll go wash my hands first. They're sticky and uncomfortable because of the alcohol on them."
"Go!" Li Feng released Zhuang Ling. He wasn't worried about her running away; there were people at the door.
Zhuang Ling ran to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. When she saw herself in the mirror, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were sparkling, unconsciously revealing a hint of allure.
Her clothes felt like branding irons, burning her unbearably. She desperately wanted to take them off, but she remained rational and could only cool herself down with cold water.
This wasn't a drunken state. Zhuang Ling realized something and cursed herself inwardly. It was all her carelessness that led her to fall into someone else's trap.
She has to leave this place.
Zhuang Ling came out of the bathroom and headed towards the stairwell.
Two men in black shirts stood at the bathroom door and stopped her. "Ms. Zhuang, Mr. Li requests your return."
Zhuang Ling forced a calm expression and said, "I'm going to buy Mr. Li a pack of cigarettes. I'll be right back."
"We can handle this; you should go back and keep Mr. Li company!"
Zhuang Ling was flustered and didn't know what to do. Just then, she saw a familiar figure walk into a private room not far away. She shouted with all her might, "Young Master Qi!"
