Chapter 505 Su Rui’s Dazzling Opening at the Concert!

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Mo Bofei’s expression quickly turned cold as she said, “It seems this handsome guy is unwilling to accept my goodwill?”

　　After all, given Mo Bofei’s status, being willing to lower herself and apologize to a young man was already an enormous face-saving gesture for Su Rui. Yet this young man was so ungrateful — he truly had no idea how high the sky was!

　　Li Pengcheng let out a cold snort, “Who do you think you are? Mo Jie apologizing to you is a blessing you couldn’t earn in several lifetimes! Careful you don’t regret turning down a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

　　Hua Ling also smiled with contempt but didn’t say much. Mo Jie’s methods were renowned far and wide, and she seemed to already picture Su Rui’s miserable fate.

　　Cao Tianping hurriedly tugged at Su Rui’s arm. He could swallow his own grievances, but he didn’t want Su Rui to offend the illustrious Mo Bofei on his account.

　　Su Rui shook his head, eyes slightly narrowed, as if deliberately avoiding Mo Bofei’s gaze — instead letting his eyes linger hard on the prominent curves of her chest.

　　That pair of peaks was truly a magnificent sight. He wondered whether, at her age, freed from the restraint of clothing, those peaks might succumb to the pull of gravity.

　　This gesture of Su Rui’s seemed like a deliberate provocation, causing a flash of undisguised disgust to pass through Mo Bofei’s eyes.

　　Though she navigated the entertainment industry with ease on all sides, Mo Bofei had always detested this kind of frivolous lecher — especially one brazen enough to stare at her like that at a moment like this. It was simply outrageous.

　　Looking at Su Rui’s expression, Mo Bofei suddenly broke into a smile the next second. She was already quite a beautiful woman — charming, alluring, with a mature feminine quality that no teenage girl could begin to compare to. Li Pengcheng, standing behind her, was visibly stunned by her smile, an involuntary blaze of heat flickering in his eyes.

　　He then couldn’t help but follow Su Rui’s lead, shifting his gaze to Mo Bofei’s prominent chest. That seemingly trembling expanse made Li Pengcheng unconsciously gulp hard.

　　It seemed Mo Bofei was absolutely Li Pengcheng’s dream woman — or at the very least, the subject of countless nights of fantasy.

　　Hua Ling, standing nearby, was infuriated by her man’s disgraceful behavior and reached out to give Li Pengcheng a vicious pinch at the waist.

　　Li Pengcheng let out a pained yelp, drawing the attention of many onlookers.

　　Mo Bofei glanced at her “distant cousin” and said nothing more. Boss Mo understood his character all too well.

　　Su Rui also broke into a smile and asked, “Miss Mo, what are you smiling about?”

　　Mo Bofei shook her head without elaborating. Having fought her way through the entertainment industry for so many years, she could naturally tell that although Su Rui had stared hard at her chest, his eyes held not even a trace of desire — which made the contrast with Li Pengcheng immediately apparent.

　　So why had he done it? Was it simply to refuse her, or even to provoke her? Was there any point to that?

　　After a moment’s thought, Mo Bofei continued in a measured tone, “What exactly do you want?”

　　Su Rui, somewhat surprised that Mo Bofei hadn’t been provoked by his gesture, gave a slight smile and said, “I’ll say it again — we’re all adults and we all have to take responsibility for our actions. Your apology means nothing and I won’t accept it. All I need is an apology from the two of them, along with two hundred thousand in medical compensation.”

　　Hearing Su Rui still clinging stubbornly to the two hundred thousand figure, Li Pengcheng erupted in fury, “Are you some kind of country bumpkin who’s never seen money — or died broke in a past life? If you say one more word, don’t think I won’t…”

　　He hadn’t even finished when Su Rui calmly cut in with a slight smile, “Do you believe that if I weren’t worried about disrupting Tang Ni Landuo’s concert, I could make you leave this stadium lying down right now?”

　　Mo Bofei watched Su Rui’s demeanor, and something in her eyes sharpened slightly. At this moment, this young man was finally giving off a feeling unlike anyone else — that faint, utterly fearless quality seemed entirely out of place for someone his age.

　　Who exactly was he? At that moment, a deep wave of questions swept through Mo Bofei’s mind.

　　As the concert organizer, Mo Bofei had already gotten to know most of the VIP guests seated in the front row beforehand, yet she had never once seen these two. Their dress didn’t suggest they were scions of some great family rarely seen in public — yet since they were seated in the pre-arranged front row, Mo Bofei truly couldn’t believe they had no background whatsoever.

　　”Go ahead and brag — bragging doesn’t cost you anything. If you’ve got the guts, make me lie down. And if I’m still standing, you’d better get on your knees and call me grandpa…” Li Pengcheng naturally didn’t believe a word Su Rui said, and was about to say more when he heard Mo Bofei say coldly, “Shut your mouth.”

　　Li Pengcheng turned to Su Rui and said, “That means you — hear that? Mo Jie told you to shut up.”

　　”I was talking to you!” Mo Bofei turned to face Li Pengcheng and said coldly. Having long occupied a position of authority, her tone carried an irresistible air of command.

　　Li Pengcheng hadn’t expected Mo Bofei to reprimand him, and was momentarily taken aback — but he still sheepishly fell silent.

　　Mo Bofei looked at Su Rui, her eyes flickering slightly as she said, “Is there truly no room for negotiation here?”

　　”I said what I said and I’d rather not repeat it,” Su Rui replied. “If my conditions aren’t met, then this Li Pengcheng shouldn’t count on walking out of here.”

　　Mo Bofei studied Su Rui, trying to guess at his possible identity, but came up with nothing. She couldn’t help but ask, “And you — what should I call you?”

　　The very fact that Mo Bofei asked that question meant she was wavering.

　　Seeing this, Su Rui smiled and shook his head. “How quickly you’ve changed your tune.”

　　With just one sentence, the upper hand between the two had already shifted.

　　Mo Bofei swiftly composed herself, “No matter who you are, I hope this matter ends here. That is my final position.”

　　One man, one woman — locked in a standoff, neither willing to yield.

　　Su Rui was dead set on refusing Mo Bofei. Faced with this exceptional, sophisticated beauty beside him, he couldn’t even be bothered to spare her an extra glance. He waved his hand and said, “Enough talk. The concert is about to start. Just like you, my position won’t change either.”

　　That was Su Rui — repay every grudge, right every wrong. Whoever committed the offense had to answer for it. There was no way he’d let any dispute be swept aside just because someone tossed out a few hollow words.

　　A cold, icy glint passed through Mo Bofei’s eyes. She had fought so long in the entertainment industry and had risen to a position of great influence — very few people dared treat her with such an attitude.

　　Anyone who knew her well would recognize that when Mo Jie wore that cold, icy expression, she was at the very edge of her patience.

　　Li Pengcheng was just about to lash out at Su Rui again, but thinking of Mo Bofei’s rebuke moments ago, he let out a grunt and said nothing more.

　　With Mo Bofei seated in front of him, Hua Ling had entirely lost her appeal for Li Pengcheng. He fixed his gaze on Mo Bofei’s beautiful back, indulging in vicious fantasies.

　　”How dare she dress me down in front of so many people — where does that leave my dignity? I may call you ‘Jie,’ but don’t think too highly of yourself. One day I’ll have you conquered beneath me.”

　　Lost in these thoughts, Li Pengcheng couldn’t help but feel a certain hidden part of him begin to stir.

　　If Mo Bofei knew that her well-intentioned effort to bail this “cousin” out had earned her this kind of return, one could only wonder whether she’d fly into a rage on the spot.

　　Some people are just like that — give them your whole heart and not only will it come to nothing, it will only make them worse.

　　In truth, Mo Bofei’s mood today wasn’t great either. Since the day before yesterday, Borui Company’s vice president Wang Dongyang and several senior executives had gone completely off the grid.

　　Tang Ni Landuo’s first concert in Huaxia held enormous significance for Borui Company’s deeper development. As the organizer of the event, at such a critical moment, these people had chosen to vanish — which left Mo Bofei seething with fury.

　　She had long been dissatisfied with their work ethic, especially when she learned that these executives had been getting entangled with female celebrities under the company’s banner — something that sat very poorly with her.

　　And then the lights across the entire stadium went dark — the concert was about to begin.

　　Tang Ni Landuo’s influence was truly not to be underestimated. The stadium, which could hold fifty thousand people, was packed to capacity, and the roar of the crowd surged like crashing waves — as if it could blow the roof clear off the stands.

　　As the head of Tang Ni Landuo’s fan club in Ninghai, Cao Tianping jumped to his feet and cheered with all his might, completely putting the earlier unpleasantness out of his mind. The concert hadn’t even officially started yet, and his voice had already gone completely hoarse.

　　A powerful beam of light fell on the center of the stage, and a white figure slowly rose from within it, higher and higher.

　　Tang Ni Landuo wore an all-white chiffon dress, its inner lining tantalizingly visible beneath. The two giant screens at the edge of the stage displayed her captivating face and alluring figure in vivid detail before everyone’s eyes.

　　The lift platform continued to rise, climbing all the way to a point more than ten meters above the stage.

　　Tang Ni Landuo blew a kiss to the audience below, her eyes seeming to carry an electric current that drew every gaze in helplessly.

　　At the sight of that flying kiss, the fervor of the fans surged once again. With the exception of certain specially invited guests in the first two rows, the entire audience rose to its feet.

　　”Friends in Huaxia, good evening everyone.”

　　Standard Huaxia rolled off Tang Ni Landuo’s lips — one could only wonder how many times she had practiced those words. Every syllable was crisp and precise.

　　With just that one simple phrase in Huaxia, the atmosphere among the fans erupted into an inferno.

　　The entire venue thundered with wave after wave of roaring cheers — a wall of sound ready to overturn the night sky.

　　Cao Tianping was so moved he was nearly in tears. Without the experience of chasing a star, it was truly hard to understand what it felt like to see your idol up close like this.

　　”All smoke and mirrors — with a figure like that, why bother singing at all? It’d be a real shame not to go film adult movies in the East,” Li Pengcheng said in a low voice, his gaze burning as he fixed his eyes on Tang Ni Landuo’s exquisite figure beneath the white gauze.

　　Hearing this, Mo Bofei’s expression went cold.

　　Su Rui, meanwhile, went silent for a second — then stood up, grabbed the folding chair beneath him, and swung it hard at Li Pengcheng.
