Chapter 1209: Chapter 1213: Too Powerful

Even surrounded by a throng of girls, he maintained his composure, utterly unflappable, chatting and laughing with ease.

Facing such supreme beauty, even the most nonchalant daughters of wealth couldn’t keep their cool and chattered around him incessantly.

At tonight’s party, there weren’t many young girls, just over ten in total.

Now, except for Pang Xiangwen’s daughter, all were gathered around Lou Ning.

Pang Xiangwen’s daughter seemed particularly out of place.

As she watched Lou Ning, her eyes flashed with an expression filled with both restlessness and jealousy.

She and Lou Ning were both An Zhenglin’s children.

Her mother was also a tremendous beauty, but she didn’t have Lou Ning’s height, and her looks were far less stunning.

Seeing Lou Ning encircled by those unattainable daughters of privilege, she deeply wished she were in his place.

Sharing her sentiments was her twin brother An Qiuping.

An Qiuping huddled next to An Zhenglin and Pang Xiangwen, his face etched with jealousy and unrest, and coupled with a tinge of panic, he asked softly, “Dad, Mom, what’s happening? Didn’t you say Lou Ning would never return to Zhou City? How has he come back?”

And to return in such a dazzling manner.

He knew the Zhou Family was the wealthiest in Zhou City, the local tyrants of the town.

Before seeing Zhou Shengqian, he and An Ruru racked their brains, trying to figure out how to catch Zhou Shengqian’s eye, to make a favorable impression.

An Ruru even fantasized that she could make Zhou Shengqian fall for her, to marry him and become his wife.

If An Ruru could marry Zhou Shengqian, their entire family would be elevated to new heights of success.

Isn’t that what happened with the Zhou Family?

Simply because Zhou Shengqian’s maternal aunt married into the influential Beijing Sheng Family, the entire Zhou Family became the most untouchable presence in Zhou City, with no one daring to provoke them.

They too yearned to become the next Zhou Family!

But they could never have dreamed that accompanying Zhou Shengqian would be Lou Ning, whom they had driven out of Zhou City.

This filled An Qiuping with both jealousy and dread.

He was well aware of how their current wealth and status had been acquired.

It was seized from Lou Ning’s maternal grandparents!

He and his sister were merely illegitimate children.

The wealth in his father’s hands bore the name “Lou,” and it had nothing to do with him or his sister.

What they wished for most was not just for Lou Ning to vanish from Zhou City, but to disappear from the world entirely.

If it wasn’t for the fear of being arrested by the police and having to pay with their lives, they would have already killed Lou Ning.

But now, Lou Ning had come back.

And he had connected with the powerful Zhou Shengqian.

Upon hearing that Lou Ning had also signed with the studio of Zhou Shengqian’s sister-in-law, An Qiuping realized just how formidable a person she must be. When Zhou Shengqian spoke of his “sister-in-law,” his tone was extremely respectful—what kind of powerful figure must she be to command such deference from Zhou Shengqian?

With such a strong backer now, would Lou Ning seize everything they now owned?

He definitely would!

Three such characters suddenly flashed in An Qiuping’s mind, startling him into shivering violently, he asked his parents in desperation, “Dad, Mom, what do we do now? Lou Ning must have come back for revenge!”

At this moment, An Zhenglin felt even more fearful than his son.

He too had realized that Lou Ning had returned for vengeance.

Moreover, he had a strong premonition that he probably wouldn’t escape this calamity.

Because the Zhou Family was too powerful.

The moment Lou Ning appeared alongside Zhou Shengqian before everyone, he foresaw the bleak fate that might befall him.
