The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 327 - 327 327 Heartwarming Gesture

327: Chapter 327: Heartwarming Gesture 327: Chapter 327: Heartwarming Gesture Mu Shanshan had too much self-restraint to be bothered by a few taunting words from Mu Shaopeng.

After wiping the sweat from her forehead with the towel hung around her neck, she casually sat down on the couch nearby and started drinking the boiled water Auntie Fang had prepared for her on the table—after half an hour of running, she was indeed thirsty.

Unaware that Mu Shanshan wasn’t speaking because she was thirsty, Mu Shaopeng subconsciously thought she was deliberately ignoring him.

He couldn’t help but speak up again, saying, “Mu Shanshan, you haven’t realized the severity of the situation yet, have you?”

“Severity?”

Mu Shanshan raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, set down her cup (she had finished drinking), and fixed her gaze on Mu Shaopeng, “I’d really like to hear what’s so severe.”

“Haven’t you forgotten our grandfather’s will?

The business groups managed by our second uncle for the past six months had already been under-performing compared to my father’s.

Now a kidnapping has happened at the hotel you’re in charge of; I’m afraid your Hyatt International Hotel’s reputation is going to stink!”

“You really are the good daughter of your second uncle.

When he took on great pressure and made you the General Manager of the Hyatt International Hotel, wasn’t it just to boost the revenue of his hospitality business group under your leadership?”

By this point, Mu Shaopeng couldn’t resist scoffing as he continued, “Or perhaps this is a better idea, since we are, after all, one family.

No matter what, you are still my sister.

Why don’t you persuade the second uncle to admit defeat voluntarily and stop foolishly pining for the chairman’s seat?

When the time comes, I’ll have my father give both you and your father a nominal position to ensure you won’t have to worry about food and clothing, so you won’t be kicked out on the streets, which could be quite embarrassing.”

“You’re really asking for a beating!” Watching Mu Shaopeng’s arrogant demeanor, especially his overbearing sitting posture, Lin Fei rarely felt an impulse to stand up for Mu Shanshan.

Before this, Lin Fei only had a vague idea of the competition between Mu Shanshan’s father and her elder uncle over the will that their grandfather had made on his deathbed.

However, in Lin Fei’s eyes, it was truly inappropriate for someone like Mu Shaopeng to come over to taunt her in person.

Too self-righteous and too despicable.

If it wasn’t for considering Mu Shanshan’s feelings, Lin Fei would have kicked Mu Shaopeng out then and there—it was just too irritating to watch.

At this moment, Mu Shanshan wasn’t feeling well either, because what Mu Shaopeng said was true.

Moreover, it was precisely her current biggest concern.

However, thanks to Lin Fei’s miraculous performance the night before, rescuing Yu Wenjie, there was still a chance to turn things around.

“Thanks for your kind intentions.”

After replying indifferently to Mu Shaopeng, Mu Shanshan’s tone suddenly changed, “There’s still half a year until the deadline set by grandfather’s will, and the outcome is still unknown.

Instead of taking pleasure in my misfortune, you might as well go back to East Sea City and ask your elder uncle to find you a nominal position in the company—I almost forgot, you dropped out of college before graduating, right?

What a pity, even if your elder uncle wins, he probably won’t consider letting you take over in a hundred years.”

“You—good for you, Mu Shanshan.”

Having his Achilles’ heel struck, Mu Shaopeng’s face turned several shades from pale to flush with anger, and he said bitterly, “We’ll see how tough you can talk in six months.

I hope you won’t be crying and begging me then.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t particularly ever want to see you.”

Mu Shanshan glanced at her watch, stood up and said, “Sorry, I have to go to work and don’t have so much time to entertain you.”

With that, she went straight upstairs to change.

“Why haven’t you left yet, or do you expect me to feed you?”

When Mu Shanshan came down after changing, she found that Mu Shaopeng had not yet left, and immediately ordered him to leave, “I’m going to work now, you should go back where you came from.”

“It’s not your place to tell me where I can go!”

Mu Shaopeng snorted coldly as he got up and said, “I made the trip all the way here; I might as well stay a few more days in Jiangdong.

In case another guest gets kidnapped at your hotel, I can personally congratulate you.”
