Chapter 701: 703

“What do you take our Penny for?!”

Against the cold reproach of Shen Fanghua, that stunningly beautiful aunt of Shen Peini, Lin Fei couldn’t utter a word.

He had nothing to say!

In his heart, Lin Fei truly regarded Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty, as his beloved. This was something Lin Fei felt no need to prove to anyone.

Because Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty, knew it. Otherwise, she would not have stayed by Lin Fei’s side, devotedly, after becoming aware of the icy CEO Mu Shanshan and her marital relationship with Lin Fei.

Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty, had not left Lin Fei because of his marriage to the icy CEO Mu Shanshan.

That itself spoke volumes.

However, facing Shen Fanghua’s accusations at that moment, Lin Fei obviously had no way to start.

Because for Shen Fanghua, that executive director, her reasons for chastising Lin Fei left him with no rebuttal.

His relationship with the icy CEO Mu Shanshan was a dead knot!

Until that knot was untied, no matter what Lin Fei said, it was clearly futile.

After all, it was obvious that Lin Fei could not, just because of Shen Fanghua’s personal demands, dissolve his engagement with the icy CEO Mu Shanshan.

If it had been at the beginning of Lin Fei’s marriage to the CEO wife Mu Shanshan, without needing excessive demands from Shen Fanghua, he would have found a way to divorce Mu Shanshan on his own.

But times had changed. Now, Lin Fei had also fallen in love with his CEO wife Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei couldn’t abandon the other women by his side for just one person, the icy CEO Mu Shanshan.

Likewise, he could not leave his CEO wife Mu Shanshan for Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty.

Those who are affectionate and devoted are the ones who get hurt the most.

Whether by nature or through life’s experiences, Lin Fei was such a person who was affectionate and devoted. Therefore, no matter what happened, he would not give up any of the people he loved.

So, for the direct scolding question of Shen Fanghua, that executive director, Lin Fei had nothing to say.

“What does Vice Minister Lin’s silence mean? Are you just going to stay quiet, or do you really never consider taking responsibility for Penny? If that’s the case, forgive me for being blunt. Vice Minister Lin, you should stop bothering our Penny from now on. Although our Penny can’t compare to the perfect CEO Mu, at least Penny is not so undesirable that she needs to be someone’s mistress!”

Towards the end of her speech, Shen Fanghua, the executive director of Mu Group, was clearly conveying a tone of anger. There was also a hint of fury rising in the woman’s phoenix eyes.

After berating Lin Fei, Shen Fanghua took several deep breaths, barely managing to soothe her indignation, and then coldly delivered an ultimatum to Lin Fei.

“Today, I asked you to meet with me in the hope that you could give me an explanation. Unfortunately, after our conversation just now, it’s clear to see. It’s obviously impossible for you, Vice Minister Lin, to divorce CEO Mu. Therefore, for the happiness of our Penny and for the harmony of Vice Minister Lin and CEO Mu’s household, I beg you as Penny’s aunt and demand of you as the executive director of Mu Group to leave—”

Right when Shen Fanghua, with a frosty expression and anger in her phoenix eyes, was about to deliver the final ultimatum to Lin Fei to leave Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty—

Lin Fei’s phone rang.

Lin Fei, whose heart had risen to his throat due to Shen Fanghua’s words, was wondering how to respond to the impending final ultimatum from Shen Fanghua, the executive director, to leave Shen Peini, that breathtaking beauty.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Lin Fei, like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline, didn’t hesitate for a second before pulling out his phone.

“Hey, I can’t talk on the phone right now. If it’s not something urgent, I’ll—what, a car accident? How serious is it? Where?!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Don’t panic, I’m coming right over! Hang in there, just hang in there!”

After shouting into the phone with apparent extreme anxiety, Lin Fei didn’t give Shen Fanghua any chance to ask him questions.

Lin Fei simply greeted Shen Fanghua, the executive director, “Auntie, I’m really sorry. A friend of mine had a car accident, and I must go right now. The matter with Penny and me will have to wait until next time. Truly sorry, I have to go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fei almost flew out of his seat, and in the blink of an eye, his figure had disappeared from the café.

That sensation, that speed. Anyone unaware would likely think an international track athlete was conducting an indoor training session.

Lin Fei’s swift exit caught Shen Fanghua completely off guard.

Well, to be precise, it left the woman dumbfounded.

Given Shen Fanghua’s social status, the women she normally encountered were like Mu Shanshan, members of the elite successful class. So-called successful people, no matter how they acted privately.

At least, in public, they usually were very conscious of their own status. Lin Fei’s behavior – not even answering the phone, just blatantly making up a conversation – was something that Shen Fanghua, as an executive director of Mu Group, had never encountered before.

And, while Shen Fanghua was dumbstruck,

Lin Fei, who had originally used the phone call as an excuse to make his escape, turned back and re-entered the café.

“Oh, right, Auntie. Starting from tomorrow, I’m supposed to be on a business trip out of town. It might last three to five months, or maybe even seven or eight months. In short, the trip is definitely going to be really long. I’m afraid I won’t have any time to relax with you for a while. I promise, as soon as I have time, I’ll definitely come to see you to have that talk. My friend who was in the accident is in bad shape, I have to go now.”

Taking advantage of the moment while Shen Fanghua, the executive director of Mu Group, was still in shock, Lin Fei’s figure once again vanished from the café.

Two or three minutes after Lin Fei left the café, Shen Fanghua, the executive director of Mu Group, finally collected herself.

Then she murmured to herself with a blend of anger and bemusement, gazing in the direction where Lin Fei had left,

“I may have underestimated you.”

…

Of course, Lin Fei had no idea, nor did he wish to know, what Shen Fanghua might have said.

Finally free from her, Lin Fei certainly was not willing to ponder any potential reprimands coming from Shen Fanghua.

After leaving the café, he thought about the unprecedented call from Chen Qi’s brother.

Hmm, his brother-in-law.

No matter what, it seemed like a roundabout way of helping him out of a predicament.

Lin Fei, after a brief consideration, promptly took out his phone and dialed Chen Di…
