Chapter 196: Forgetting About The Pain After The Wound Heals (7)

With eyes full of contempt, Rong Yan said coldly, “The reason why Anning left the Marquis of York is because you people are inferior to her. However, Anning made the right decision by choosing to leave. Well, it’s better that the reporters didn’t find out that my Anning who had graduated from the prestigious International Butlers Academy of Holland, actually became the butler of the York Family. Wouldn’t that make outsiders belittle her? Wouldn’t it seem like she had stooped too low?”

Rong Yan’s words were indeed shrewd and sharp. Not only did he indirectly put Luo Anning on a pedestal, he also sarcastically hinted that Marquis York’s castle was too lowly for Luo Anning.

Laurent was smart and hence, she obviously understood the contempt in Rong Yan’s words. She gritted her teeth angrily as her beautiful face twisted into a grimace.

Luo Anning did not expect to hear Rong Yan speaking up for her. She was instantly dumbfounded. Hence, she turned to the side and glanced at the handsome Rong Yan. For the first time, she discovered that Rong Yan was extremely sharp-tongued in addition to being ill-tempered!

However, she liked how sharp-tongued he was!

Seeing that he had performed well, Luo Anning chuckled and laid in his embrace. Rong Yan’s eyes lit up, appearing as happy as a child who had just been given the tastiest candy in the world. His features looked much gentler too.

“Young Master Rong, what are you saying? Are you implying that my castle is an insult to Luo Anning?” Laurent retorted while trying her best to keep the smile on her face. However, her voice had already stiffened.

Clearly, she was extremely infuriated to have been criticized and degraded, for she had always had a high sense of self-esteem since she was the daughter of Marquis York.

However, the angrier Laurent was, the happier Luo Anning would be. Just as she was about to speak, Rong Yan beat her to it.

Rong Yan snorted in displeasure and gibed, “He just enjoys power and wealth because of his family and connections. He sponges off the nation and is well-protected by the royals. To put it nicely, he’s the prestigious Marquis York. To put it bluntly, he’s just the nation’s parasite.”

“Young Master Rong! Don’t go overboard! Don’t forget that we’re cooperating now! Even if we’re not partners, who are you Chinese to criticize the York Family?” Laurent’s smile vanished and she lost her patience at the instant that she heard Rong Yan’s words.

Rong Yan sneered, “Cooperation? I can terminate the contract as and when I please.”

“Baina International has already invested so much money in the cooperation previously. Wouldn’t it be too rash of you to just terminate it now?”

“That amount of money is peanuts to Baina. However, according to what I know, MK Bank is already facing some cash flow problems because of the poor internal management… ” Rong Yan did not wish to comment further about MK Bank.

The reason being that MK Bank and Laurent York were extremely infuriating to him. He found Laurent York to be a horrendous and disgusting woman who was hiding beneath a graceful facade.

The beauty of her superficial appearance was a stark contrast to her true personality. Women like her were the kind whom he detested the most.

Pointing at him in disbelief, she spluttered, “How… how did you know?”

“I can find out about those shameless matters of MK with the flick of a finger.”

For the first time, Rong Yan held such a long conversation with a woman whom he detested, all for Luo Anning’s sake. He could not even stand looking at her for a second longer.
