Xiao Yufan’s sudden appearance made Cheng Jingran’s heart skip a beat. Although in the south the Cheng family reigned like a dragon, in Beijing, it was the Situs who were the local gods. Those who truly understood the Situ family’s foundation knew just how terrifying their background was…
“You should be gentler with women. No wonder Senior Beauty Liu isn’t the least bit interested in you with such rough behavior…”
Approaching leisurely, Xiao Yufan’s smile appeared warm and amiable, but in Cheng Jingran’s eyes, it was unusually mocking. Facing this mockery, he couldn’t even muster the slightest anger.
“Chairman of Glory Enterprise, young master of the Situ family—have you come here for pleasure, or are you also interested in this chess piece from the Liu family…”
Though Cheng Jingran felt some fear toward Xiao Yufan, it didn’t mean he lacked pride. Glancing at the slightly blushing Liu Man, his voice turned sharp. Upon hearing the word “pleasure,” Liu Man bit her lip tightly.
“If it weren’t for your usefulness, you wouldn’t even have the qualification to stand before me and speak. I’ve already told you—my woman is off-limits to you!”
Xiao Yufan furrowed his brows, his smile turning colder. Ultimately, Liu Man was still his woman; he wouldn’t allow anyone else to touch her, even if she could only be his plaything…
“The Liu and Cheng families have had an agreement all along. It’s laughable for you to claim Liu Man as your woman. By that logic, she should belong to me!”
Cheng Jingran didn’t back down, his lips twitching sharply as he curved into a sneer, exuding arrogance.
“Annoying. Don’t mistake your petty assets for something worth boasting about. Let me make this clear: Liu Man is my woman. If you want to play games, I’ll gladly entertain you…”
Xiao Yufan’s expression turned slightly amused. In his eyes, this Cheng family member was nothing special. On this turf of Beijing, Cheng Jingran had no grounds to act recklessly. If the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t mind keeping the southern Cheng heir here permanently…
“You actually think you’re the local bully now. I’d like to see how far Glory Enterprise can go!”
“That’s not your concern. What Glory can achieve goes far beyond your imagination. Don’t think that just because you’ve connected with the Beijing Club, I won’t dare touch you!”
A cold aura flashed briefly across Xiao Yufan’s face as he subtly revealed some anger. If Cheng Jingran still failed to understand the situation, he would ensure the man left something behind.
Feeling the oppressive aura, Cheng Jingran didn’t say anything further. He merely snorted coldly before heading toward the door…
He believed Glory Enterprise wouldn’t last long. Even with the Situ family’s backing, there were still significant limitations. After all, the entire Situ clan wasn’t solely controlled by the Situ Lingyu branch.
The large office was left with only two people. Liu Hua’s heavy breathing sounded unusually clear. She dared not even lift her head, fearing that meeting Xiao Yufan’s gaze would make her forget to hate him…
“I just don’t want a woman dragged into men’s games, especially not such a charming beauty. However, our game hasn’t ended yet!”
Gently lifting Liu Hua’s delicate, jade-like chin, Xiao Yufan raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at the refined and graceful beauty before him, a flicker of tenderness briefly surfaced, only to vanish instantly.
Regardless of how extraordinary this woman might be, Xiao Yufan would never allow someone who had once hurt him a second chance to do so again. Therefore, in his eyes, Liu Hua remained merely a chess piece of the Liu family—or rather, a pitiful sacrificial pawn of the Liu household…
