It was a false alarm now. It was like thunder but no rain. Not to mention Su Wen’s life, none of the others died.

“Damn it! Why is the eldest son of the Zhou family here at this time?” Song Zishan gritted her teeth and endured it. After saying that, she sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Forget it. Since Zhou Hengyang is here, I won’t have a chance. I’ll just forget about it.”

Even if she couldn’t do it this time, there would be another chance. She could wait. There would always be a chance. It was good that Su Wen did not die this time. She could step on her and let her, the so-called talented woman, see what a truly gifted woman was.

After deciding to write her book, she heard from her friends that Su Wen had been nominated for the Hundred Flowers Literature Prize this year. The news hadn’t been spread out yet. She had internal information.

Now, she wanted to snatch Su Wen’s Hundred Flowers Literature Prize.

Lu Jianan’s heart was hammering. He was even more scared than when he learned of Song Zishan’s plan.

“Zishan, do you think that the eldest son of the Zhou family is back?”

“No, don’t worry!” Song Zishan sneered. “So what if they suspect? Even if I don’t do anything, they’ll still suspect me. Anyway, everyone knows that my family and Su Xuewen are mortal enemies. Similarly, if something happens to me, my family will also suspect Su Wen.”

“That’s true.”

“Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute, I’ll go settle the bill first,” Lu Jianan beckoned the waiter and paid the bill before leaving with Song Zishan in a hurry.

Jiang Yu stood in a daze until Zhou Hengyang’s car was out of sight. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.

“Don’t look anymore. You can’t see him anymore.” Liu Qiang patted his good brother’s shoulder. “You criticized me just now, but you’re worse off than me. All I do is just talk about it.”

“What are you talking about?” Jiang Yu pretended not to understand. “Don’t talk nonsense. That’s not true.”

“Alright! Keep being stubborn!” Liu Qiang did not force him. He turned around and ran to Liu Chun to build a relationship.

“Brother, Brother Liu Chun.” Liu Qiang was very familiar with him and followed him intimately.” Brother Spring, look, your surname is Liu, and my surname is Liu, too. You’re Liu Chun, and I’m Liu Qiang. Just by hearing our names, you can tell that we’re brothers. Don’t you think this is fate?”

Liu Chun glanced at him and was amused. “Who are you? Do we know each other?”

“We didn’t know each other before, but we do now!” Liu Qiang quickly lit a cigarette from his pocket for Liu Chun.

The order at the scene had already been taken care of, and there was no need for Liu Chun to come forward personally. He stayed behind mainly to keep an eye on people and not give them a chance to cause trouble. At this moment, the two Liu’s were smoking in an empty place not far away.

“Brother Chun, how did you get to know Young Master Zhou?” Liu Qiang started to ask around for gossip.

“Young Master Zhou?” Liu Chun raised his eyebrows. “That sounds too capitalist. We all call him Comrade Zhou. It’s simple and down-to-earth.”

“Hehehe…” Liu Qiang laughed shamelessly. “We don’t dare to call that in front of him. We always call him Young Master Zhou or the eldest son of the Zhou family behind his back. We’re just some useless wealthy men. We’re not the same as Young Master Zhou. Although we’ve met before, we’ve never interacted with him.”

“Then what are you doing?”

“Of course, I’m taking the opportunity to curry favor with the big boss.”

Liu Chun was amused when he heard that. “Hey, has your brain been fried? Zhou Hengyang has been chased out of the house. He’s no longer the young master of the Zhou family that you guys speak of. He can’t even compare to you, so why are you still paying attention to him?”
