to be. She once lamented that she shouldn't have befriended someone like you. Now that she's passed away, you...""Impossible!" Madam Zhong's eyes blazed red as she stumbled back two steps, her face c..."You little brat, shut your mouth!"

"Shaoning!"

Stupid.

It's really foolish.

Back then, when A-wai's explosive disfigurement incident happened, it nearly shook the entire world. Everyone knew why she had to wear a mask for so long, but who dared bring it up in front of her

A-Xiao was struck where it hurt, her face instantly turning icy cold. A chilling smile curled up at the corner of her lips.

She reminded him calmly, "I didn't quite catch that, Young Master Zhong. Would you mind repeating yourself"

"I... didn't hear clearly, so it's fine."

Seeing Old Master Zhao's threatening gaze, Zhong Shaoning also realized that he had spoken the wrong words in his emotional excitement, his eyes flickering back and forth.

向晚 let out a cold smile, picking up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray. She gently shook it in her hand, "Zhong Shao is almost thirty, how can you still be so young and energetic You used those words to mock me just now, saying I have nothing. But if my husband heard them, I dare say you wouldn't be standing here unscathed."

"I…" Zhong Shaoning blushed, unwilling to be pressured by her. Before he could retort, he saw Old Master Zhong stride towards him and slap him across the face with a resounding 'crack'.

In an instant, all eyes turned to them. Not only was Wan'er stunned, but even Zhong Shaoning was caught off guard, his breathing quickening in surprise.

"What are you looking at, rascal! You have no manners. Who do you think you are to offend everyone Apologize to Mrs. He right now!"

"What are you talking about Grandpa, you're getting more confused as you age. Even if the Zhong family isn't as good as the He family, it's not that much different. Why would we have to humiliate ourselves like this" Zhong Shaoning retorted defiantly.

"You... you just shut up, you're really going to drive me mad!" Old Master Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, he covered his chest, and his breathing sounded like a bellows.

Zhong Shaoning usually led a carefree life, not engaging in business. Naturally, he was unaware of the current situation.

Over the past few years, He Hanchuan's growth in the business world has been meteoric. He has already surpassed Zhong, Fei, and the Jiang family by a significant margin. While they at least had some say before, now... they can only humbly lower themselves.

"Forget it, Grandpa Zhong. Little Zhong is being childish, I won't hold a grudge."

向晚 lightly sipped her red wine, placing the glass on the table with a clink. Her voice was cool as she said, “But I hope Zhong remembers, the scars on your face are just skin deep. The real ugliness is the wickedness in your heart. After all, no matter how well you hide it, there will come a day when it's exposed.”

She hinted meaningfully, refraining from looking at Zhong Shaoning's unsightly expression, and turned to leave.

Millie hurriedly followed up, carefully observing Xiang Wan's expression, "Ms. Xiang, are you alright"

"What could it be," Moona said, trying to sound nonchalant. She appeared calm and collected as always, but the melancholy in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

There isn't a woman who doesn't care about being judged by her looks.

The scars on her face were a constant knot in her heart.

At that moment, she suddenly saw a graceful figure in a golden evening gown flash past her, heading towards the restroom.meone like He's fatherZhao Yu sneered, "What's wrong Now that I'm in front of your beloved woman, you can't even say a word""Don't make trouble out of nothing. It's between us and Hanchuan, what does...
