Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 229: Chapter 228: Trouble Magnet

Li Feiyu was shocked silly by Su Mu’s unexpectedly outstanding performance.

She even forgot that she was still clinging to the rock climbing wall just like a gecko.

Only after being yelled at by Li Yaoming did Li Feiyu come back to her senses.

She climbed down using her hands and feet.

It’s unclear whether it was due to nervousness or some other reason.

Li Feiyu’s descent was a bit awkward, she even ended up scrambling down with all limbs.

By the time Li Feiyu finally stood firm on the ground, a staff member came over to help Li Feiyu take off the safety gear.

It didn’t take a word more; the staff knew this miss would not continue rock climbing.

With the handsome guy gone, there wasn’t any point for Miss to climb alone, right?

Li Feiyu changed back into her shoes, yet her eyes kept staring in the direction of the climbing gym’s entrance.

What could Li Feiyu possibly still be hoping for?

Could it be that Li Feiyu believed a miracle would happen?

That Su Mu would reappear at the entrance of this climbing gym?

"Don’t embarrass yourself anymore, get ready and come home with me immediately," Li Yaoming declared sternly.

Li Feiyu’s reaction was too obvious to miss, even if Li Yaoming wanted to.

Thinking about the mess that Li Feiyu had caused, Li Yaoming had no good expression left.

Li Yaoming had no idea how he was going to explain this situation to Elder Li when he got back.

So much time had been wasted, and the result was a complete defeat.

Li Yaoming thought Li Feiyu was now the very definition of trouble.

"Dad, I..." Li Feiyu said, obviously not reconciled.

She had prepared thoroughly, so how had the outcome turned out like this?

This wasn’t the first time.

Back at the golf course, Su Mu initially claimed he couldn’t play golf.

In the end, it turned into Su Mu instantly crushing both Li Feiyu and Zu Peng to dust.

The same thing happened with rock climbing.

Li Feiyu was almost certain that it was Su Mu’s first time climbing.

Even if it wasn’t, she was willing to bet that Su Mu was not familiar with climbing.

Yet at the crucial moment, Su Mu’s performance always managed to provide an unexpected "surprise".

Of course, Li Feiyu didn’t like this kind of "surprise."

For Li Feiyu, this was not a surprise, but a shock.

Li Feiyu couldn’t understand—could Su Mu be one of those people with an extraordinary talent as the legends say?

Otherwise, it didn’t make sense.

Su Mu seemed to grasp everything he touched immediately, as if he could clear all levels at once.

The private detective had investigated Su Mu’s academic prowess thoroughly.

But Li Feiyu believed that sports and academics were different, and mastering book knowledge wasn’t enough.

Li Feiyu had overlooked Su Mu’s academically gifted trait when she proposed the bet.

She did not think Su Mu’s intellect would be an advantage in sports.

Su Mu’s performance gave Li Feiyu a resounding slap in the face.

Li Feiyu felt that Su Mu might not be ordinary. In her heart, Su Mu was almost mythical.

A man so handsome and capable, Li Feiyu was even less willing to give up on him.

"Stop thinking about anything else. This is the bet you proposed yourself. Since you’ve lost, you must abide by it," Li Yaoming said.

Clearly, Li Yaoming understood his daughter well.

Seeing Li Feiyu’s restless, wandering eyes just now, Li Yaoming knew this daughter was certainly concocting some mischief again.

Not giving Li Feiyu a chance to speak, Li Yaoming flatly and clearly rejected any other possibility.

This was no longer the time when Li Feiyu and Su Mu played house.

Li Yaoming had also etched Su Mu’s words deep into his heart.

The bet Li Feiyu, or rather the Li Family had to adhere to, was binding.

The Li Family could not afford to offend the Su Family just because of Li Feiyu.

It wasn’t just that Li Yaoming didn’t have the guts, even if he did, he lacked the strength to do so.

Not to mention Elder Li, who sat in authority over Guanghai City.

Li Feiyu saw that without saying a word, she had been outright rejected by her own father.

Feeling indignant, and with the staff there watching, Li Feiyu felt she couldn’t lose face.

Planting her feet, Li Feiyu began to throw a tantrum.

"Are you going to leave on your own, or do I need to call someone to come in and drag you out?"

Unlike before, whenever Li Feiyu got angry, Li Yaoming would normally try to coax her with good words for a while.

Only when Li Feiyu was being too unreasonable would Li Yaoming assert his authority as a father.

Li Feiyu had hoped to act spoiled when her father comforted her, to see if she could negotiate something better.

Li Feiyu knew she didn’t carry much weight with Su Mu.

But it was different with her own father.

After all, Su Mu still addressed her father as Uncle Li.

Li Feiyu believed that even if Su Mu didn’t care for her, he still had to show some respect for his elder.

Li Feiyu thought that no matter what, she had to see Su Mu again to salvage her disadvantage in the current bet.

Instead of her father’s gentle comforts, Li Feiyu was met with Li Yaoming’s impatient warning.

"Dad..."

Li Feiyu had not expected her father to embarrass her in front of the climbing gym staff by speaking so directly.

Glancing at the four staff members who were clearly holding back laughter, Li Feiyu’s face turned thoroughly dark.

Li Yaoming paid no mind to Li Feiyu’s complexion.

Now you think of face?

Feiyu didn’t even consider how she had already lost all face in front of her junior.

Without giving Li Feiyu time to think, Li Yaoming took out his cell phone and instructed the security waiting in the car to come in and "apprehend someone."

"Dad..."

This time, Li Feiyu’s call came out more shrill.

She hadn’t said she wouldn’t leave, so was there really a need for her dad to hurry and call someone in?

Li Feiyu was no fool. Seeing Li Yaoming’s stance, she understood she couldn’t avoid this ordeal today.

Rather than being "taken back" without dignity, Li Feiyu thought it better to walk out on her own.

"If you want to laugh, laugh out loud. Holding it in, aren’t you afraid you’ll suffocate?"

Having no other outlet for her frustration, Li Feiyu took all her displeasure out on the climbing gym staff.

The four staff members exchanged looks, their eyes conveying a single message.

This woman has no manners.

Touching their noses, the two staff members who had been called over temporarily for timing walked away.

Was there even a need for timing in such an obviously lopsided competition?

The staff felt the gentleman was far too chivalrous, affording such face to this ill-mannered woman.

Asking people to time it?

They had really overestimated this woman.

The remaining two staff members, having seen the guests’ climbing session come to an end,

and with the handsome client having left,

felt this round of climbing had also concluded, and they too prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment, give me that."

Li Feiyu stopped one of the staff members, pointing at the shoebox in the staff’s arms.
