Chapter 445: Toughness (2)

Yun Feng glanced at the girl who was standing next to Shang Lian. She was none other than his granddaughter who provoked Yun Feng earlier. Seeing that Yun Feng was looking at his granddaughter, Shang Lian smiled awkwardly, "Yun Feng, can we talk elsewhere?"

Yun Feng nodded. Shang Lian must've waited for a long time. He probably came here with his granddaughter to apologize after learning what happened that day. He couldn't afford to piss Yun Feng off at this moment.

They came to a restaurant and asked for a quiet private room upstairs. Yun Feng sat down with Mu Xiaojin. Shang Lian sat down too. His granddaughter also wanted to sit down, but he simply glared at her and stopped her.

Shang Lian managed a smile. "Well... Yun Feng, since we're friends, please forgive Xiao Rui for what she did, for my sake. I know you're a benevolent person and won't hold a grudge against her."

The girl who was standing became angry. She was about to open her mouth, but had to keep silent when she saw Shang Lian's eyes. She stared at Yun Feng gloomily.

Yun Feng glanced at Shang Lian, and said casually. "Not everyone is important enough for me to be angry with."

Shang Lian instantly blushed. So, his granddaughter wasn't even worthy enough for her to be angry with. Then, was he being a joke here? Seeing how embarrassed he was, Yun Feng added, "But of course, Mr. Shang Lian is very important to me."

Shang Lian seemed less embarrassed, as Yun Feng had shown him some respect. "Yun Feng, you're right. What Xiao Rui did during the day was wrong. I've brought her here to apologize." Shang Lian dropped a hint at his granddaughter. "Hurry and apologize!"

Shang Lian's granddaughter bit her lips, but didn't utter a word. She must've been spoiled. Shang Lian burst into fury. "You're so spoiled that you think everyone else is beneath you! Apologize now!"

Shang Lian's granddaughter looked at her grandfather with tears all over her eyes. She didn't understand why her grandfather would give her such a hard time even though he had always cared for her. Wasn't that woman a mere Young Lady of the Red Maple Mercenary Team? Was she even nearly as honorable as the Young Lady of the Shang family? How could she compare to her?

"Grandpa! She's just the Young Lady of a mercenary group. Why are you so respectful to her? She should've knelt before you!"

"Shang Rui! You're really so spoiled that you don't know what's around you at all, right?" Shang Lian blushed because of his granddaughter's stupid remark. Veins rose on the back of his hand. He unconsciously glanced at Yun Feng, who remained inscrutable. His heart palpitated.

"Cut the crap! Apologize to her right now!" Shang Lian roared, but Shang Rui remained stubborn. After all, Shang Lian had never asked her to be so humble to an outsider. Even the princesses of the Karan Empire such as Kasa didn't deserve such respect. She had never apologized for the trouble she caused. What was happening today?

"I won't apologize! She was the one who assaulted us. You should be defending me instead of asking me to apologize, grandpa!" Shang Rui glared at Yun Feng. "Is the Red Maple Mercenary Team really something? Can it even compare to the Shang family? Don't think you're somebody just because my grandpa respects you. Let me tell you..."

"Pa!"

Shang Rui was absolutely stunned. She had been slapped in the face, where five red finger marks appeared. Tears flowed out of her eyes immediately. She looked at Shang Lian. "Grandpa, you slapped me. You slapped me for such a worthless woman!"

Shang Lian couldn't have been more infuriated. An apology would have sufficed, but his unobservant daughter had turned the whole thing into a mess! It seemed that he couldn't continue spoiling her, or she would get the entire family killed someday. If she pissed off Yun Feng someday, the Shang family might be destroyed just like the Karan Royal Family. "Do you know who she is? The Young Lady of the Red Maple Mercenary Team is just one of her identities! Are you not aware of the new summoner from the Karan Empire, and the person who easily annihilated the Karan Royal Family?"

Shang Rui was completely dumbfounded. Her tears came to an abrupt halt. She slowly turned her head, and saw that Yun Feng was watching the drama. She remembered what her grandfather just said. The person who easily annihilated the Karan Royal Family and who emerged in the Karan Empire as a summoner was... Yun Feng!

"Yun... Yun Feng..." Shang Rui recited the name, dumbfounded. Yun Feng tapped the back of her chair, and sat at ease. She stared at Shang Rui without saying anything. Shang Rui suddenly became pale, and trembled hard. She finally realized what kind of person she had pissed off.

"Apologize right now!" Shang Lian shouted again. This time, Shang Rui lowered her head without further ado. "I'm sorry..." Yun Feng put on a cold smile. Shang Lian smiled. "Yun Feng, Xiao Rui is just a spoiled child. It's all my fault. Please forgive her. I'll surely discipline her."

Yun Feng's lips curled. At this moment, Shang Rui stood meekly like a cat whose talons had been removed, not nearly as arrogant as before. Mu Xiaojin pulled Yun Feng's sleeve. "Xiao Feng, let's go back."

Yun Feng nodded. Hearing that, Shang Lian stood up immediately. "I'll walk you back." Yun Feng smiled, and glanced at Shang Rui, who kept her head lowered and didn't even dare to breathe aloud.

"Alright, thank you." Yun Feng accepted his offer, and Shang Lian was greatly relieved. He carefully escorted them back to their hotel, and was finally relaxed after Yun Feng came in. He then yelled at Shang Rui angrily.. Shang Rui didn't say anything back. If she had recognized Yun Feng, she wouldn't have offended her at all!
