327 End
Old Master Cui’s cold gaze landed on Elder Zhou. Although he had not been in the business circle for a long time, the aura he emitted was still there.
When he stared at you, it was like an old tiger staring at you. Although his body was old, his ambition was still burning. It was as if he could crush you with a raise of his hand and make you unable to move.
Fear rose in Elder Zhou’s heart. His terrified expression seemed to recall something bad.
Old Master Cui’s lips opened and closed. “Zhou Ping, don’t forget how your Zhou Family reached this status.”
Elder Zhou’s lips trembled and he could not say anything for a long time. He swallowed and turned his head away, not daring to look at Old Master Cui again.
He had only spoken to the little girl beside him. Why was this person…
Old Master Cui’s gaze appeared in his mind again, and Elder Zhou could not help but be afraid.
The Zhou Family was able to enter the four great families back then because of Old Cui’s help. This was an undeniable fact, but their Zhou Family had always refused to admit it. Moreover, after so many years, their Zhou Family might not be worse than the Cui Family.
At the thought of this, the fear on Elder Zhou’s face finally calmed down. His gaze landed on Old Master Cui again, but he inadvertently looked up and met Xiang Yin’s gaze.
Xiang Yin was clearly smiling, but when he met his gaze, he could not see the smile in his eyes. Instead, it was ruthlessness.
Why was Second Master Xiang here?
Why was he looking at him like that? Their Zhou Family had not provoked the Xiang Family, right?
Although he had many doubts, Elder Zhou did not dare to act rashly in front of Xiang Yin.
Although he was much older than Xiang Yin, the Xiang Family was far from what the Zhou Family could compare to. Moreover, Xiang Yin was an untouchable existence.
At the thought of this, Elder Zhou swallowed his saliva.
Although it was embarra.s.sing to smile at a junior, it would be different if that junior was Xiang Yin.
“Second Master Xiang, why are you here?”
Xiang Yin only looked up slightly, but there was a suffocating pressure. Elder Zhou did not dare to meet his gaze at all. He lowered his eyes, his submissive posture making Gu Man suspicious.
She had actually always known that Xiang Yin’s ident.i.ty was not simple, but she did not expect Elder Zhou to be so humble when facing Xiang Yin.
Elder Zhou did not look like this when he faced Old Master Cui.
Gu Man did not know the relationship between the Zhou Family and the Cui Family, so her impression of Xiang Yin increased.
Old Master Cui looked at Elder Zhou and almost laughed out loud. Zhou Ping was so lowly now that he actually lowered his voice to a junior. So what if this junior was from the Xiang Family?
He only thought of bowing and nodding, relying on others to survive. He had sucked the Cui Family’s blood decades ago, but now, he wanted to suck the Xiang Family’s blood?
“When did I have to report to you about where I am?”
Xiang Yin’s tone was not good and was even mocking. Although Xiang Yin always looked cold in front of others, he had never mocked others so coldly.
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Elder Zhou’s forehead. He did not know how he had provoked this demon.
However, if the Zhou Family wanted to surpa.s.s the Cui Family, they needed a way up.
Although Elder Zhou was already old, his ambition still existed. The juniors of the Zhou Family were not capable, and the task of climbing up the ranks fell on him. However, Elder Zhou did not mind. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling of power in his hands.
What had he not done in the past? How many people had rolled their eyes at the Zhou Family? However, he was still able to stand in a position that others could not reach, so Xiang Yin’s att.i.tude was nothing to him.
“Yes, you’re right.”
His posture was disdainful. Xiang Yin sized up Elder Zhou with a mocking smile in his eyes.
The status of the four great families had been stable for so long. It was time for some changes.
The Zhou Family had only climbed up in recent years, but they really compared themselves to the other three families?
Even if he really wanted to rely on the Xiang Family, his cold gaze made Old Master Zhou lose face. He looked at Gu Man.
