Chapter 95: Zhou Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Zhou family was unquestionably deserving of being the leading clan among the five aristocratic families in the alliance. In Liao Ning’s perspective, the ancestral residence resembled the domain of a noble lord, with a grand manor situated at the heart of the capital planet.
Liao Ning playfully taunted Zhou Ling, remarking, “1 never imagined you to be so affluent. You’re the son of one of the most prosperous families in the alliance!”
Zhou Ling was captivated by her charm and responded with a smile, playing along, “Then perhaps you’ll become the girlfriend of a young master from a prominent affluent family in the future.”
“Oh my goodness! I can’t wait for the day when someone pampers me by washing my face and feeding me every morning!” Liao Ning exaggeratedly covered her mouth.
This marked the first time Liao Nai witnessed such a lively side of his aunt. He was instantly taken aback, but quickly retorted, “Aunt, are you talking about a helpless person
Upon hearing Liao Nai’s witty retort, Zhou Ling couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, alright. We’re almost there. Let’s stop fooling around.” As the Zhou family’s entrance drew nearer, Zhou Ling’s expression gradually turned serious and tense.
Sensing his change, Liao Ning reached out and patted his hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry, you still have me.”
After uttering these words, Liao Ning couldn’t help but recall the television dramas she had watched in the past. Zhou Ling’s father was portrayed as a wicked boss, while Zhou Ling and his brother were depicted as feeble, pitiful, and defenseless.
However, upon witnessing the elegant middle-aged man shed tears for Zhou Ling, Liao Ning couldn’t help but feel that not everyone possessed the demeanor of a villain, even if this person had once abandoned his wife and son.
Completely speechless!
Bored, Liao Ning gazed at her toes and the embellishments adorning the vast living room of the Zhou family’s ancestral residence. Eventually, she grew so bored that she contemplated tying the wolf cub’s hair.
The wolf cub vigorously resisted, but how could he refuse a child like her? Just as Liao Ning was about to fasten his hair, the elegant middle-aged man ceased his weeping and redirected his attention towards Liao Ning and Liao Nai.
“Ling, what do you mean by having a child?!” The man pointed at Liao Nai and continued to gaze at Liao Nai and Liao Ning. “When did you get married? Why wasn’t I informed?”
Zhou Ling was rendered speechless by the man’s line of thinking, but he merely glanced at him with indifference. “You don’t need to concern yourself with me.”
Zhou Ling’s neither confirming nor denying attitude further convinced the man that Liao Ning was Zhou Ling’s clandestine wife and that Liao Nai was their son. He completely disregarded the fact that Liao Nai bore no resemblance to Zhou Ling whatsoever.
“… Are you truly foolish or merely pretending to be?” Zhou Ling truly had no desire to witness him continue his foolishness.
“I am genuinely foolish. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have abandoned you and your mother in the past…” The man began to cry once again over their past misfortunes.
Zhou Ling promptly interrupted him. “Enough already. You haven’t said anything all these years. I’m tired of listening to you. Tell me why you’re seeking me out.”
Zhou Ling’s cold demeanor left the man displeased. “As your father, can’t I simply be concerned about you? I can only approach you for a specific reason.” Zhou Ling regarded him in disbelief.
The man could only pout and compose himself. “I’ve come this time to caution you against rashly causing trouble for the Wang family.”
Zhou Ling’s gaze turned icy. “What do you mean? What do you know?”
The man comprehended what Zhou Ling wished to inquire, but he shook his head and affectionately regarded Zhou Ling. “Child, I know that I committed an unforgivable sin against you and your mother when I was young, but I’ve already repented. I don’t want you to sacrifice your future for so-called justice as I did back then.”
Upon hearing this, how could Zhou Ling not discern that he was already aware of the Wang family’s framing of him and his brother? An indescribable sorrow surged within Zhou Ling’s heart. “And what about Brother? Will you simply watch him be framed and vanish? Do you expect me to stand idly by like you did?!”
Zhou Ling swiftly regained composure and whispered to Butler Li, “Uncle Li, please escort the guest out.”
Under Zhou Ling’s chilling stare, the man had no choice but to be escorted out of the Zhou family’s ancestral residence by Butler Li. Once outside, the man boarded a black flying car that had been patiently waiting by the roadside.
“How did it go?” Inquired the individual wearing black sunglasses, speaking in a commanding tone that emanated an air of authority..
