NOVEL WEB Chapter 237 - Who Is the Mistress of This Place?
“What's my next move? What should I do?”
“You've been here longer, haven't you? You advise me!”
“Am I not concerned? The head must have overheard our conversation!”
“But what we discussed was factual! Hasn't the dean not yet divorced his spouse? What's his connection with Shang Cijie?”
“Precisely! We didn't speak falsely.”
……
They adamantly refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, instead seeking justification for their actions.
“Damn it! Fine if you won't apologize, but this is going too far, and I won't let you get away with it.”
Shang Mingming seethed with fury, feeling as though he might explode from anger.
Despite his rage, he maintained a facade of composure as he addressed Mu Sifa with a smile, “Dad, may I dismiss them all? It's possible! Because…”
Pausing, he directed a cheerful gaze toward the individual behind the front desk, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment as he charmingly remarked, “Because I happen to be the young master of this hospital! Some individuals still hold the authority to rid Miss of a few nuisances.”
“Certainly, even if you decide to terminate everyone, that's acceptable,” Mu Sifa replied affectionately.
“Really? Dad, you're so magnanimous.”
Shang Mingming feigned innocence, clapping his hands lightly, but in the next instant, his demeanor turned icy. He issued a stern warning, “If I ever catch wind of you disparaging Miss again, I'll expel each and every one of you and set an example for the rest. Understand?”
Though spoken softly, his words carried immense authority, laden with a sense of coercion.
“Yes, of course…” “We understand, there won't be a repeat occurrence.”
The individual at the front desk trembled in fear, unable to articulate a proper response. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead. It was the first time a child had threatened him to such an extent.
“The aunties are quite obedient!” That's satisfactory!”
One moment he seemed poised to unleash his fury upon them, but the next he laughed like an innocent cherub, as if everything around him was bathed in sunshine. They couldn't help but marvel at the contrast, questioning if the previous threat had truly come from him.
Exchanging private glances, they then subtly directed their gaze towards Shang Mingming. However, this exchange was significant. Despite Shang Mingming's affable demeanor and charming voice, his eyes held a predatory gleam, instilling fear in them.
Fearing, they swiftly averted their eyes, refraining from further scrutiny. Some inwardly lamented Shang Mingming's mischievous nature.
That mischievous girl regarded Shang Mingming with adoration, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Ah, how can one be simultaneously adorable and deviously cunning? When Little Young Master Pei-fang grows up, she might become haughty yet petite.
“Moreover, Xiaojie is Mu Sifa's wife, your mistress. Henceforth, mind your language in her presence,” Shang Mingming appended another admonition, his cold, penetrating gaze carrying a hint of menace, reminiscent of a miniature Mu Sifa.
“Understood, Young Master.”
They could only comply obediently, for Mu Sifa's silence affirmed Shang Mingming's words.
“It's good that you comprehend,” Shang Mingming huffed, though a discontented expression lingered on his face.
“What's the matter? Aren't you going to dismiss them?” Mu Sifa inquired with curiosity. He had explicitly stated they should be expelled.
“If I simply let them go, they won't learn their lesson. I want them to witness who truly holds authority here. I want them to serve Xiaojie in the future and understand her strength,” Shang Mingming explained, his scheme displaying ruthless cunning.
Ah, so that's his plan! This youngster's tactics are truly merciless!
“Simply dismissing them would be too lenient. They will resent Xiaojie intensely in the future.”
They must harbor envy towards Xiaojie to speak ill of her like this, hence I wish for them to witness Xiaojie's triumphs and suffer for it.
