So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Hearing this, Wang Manyun was both shocked and angry, but she suppressed her anger, her eyes reddening slightly as she said in a pitiful manner, "Sister Yulan, I never thought of taking anything from you. I was just a baby back then and knew nothing about what happened. How can you say such things about me? These are grudges from a past life, why bring them up again?"

Zhou Yulan snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disgust, and said mercilessly, "What sister or what? Get lost, stop pretending."

Then, she turned around, her gaze turning cold as she looked at the wealthy young ladies around her. She straightened her back and said firmly:

"You all had better listen carefully. Whether you saw it or not, my grandmother, who is also the chairman of the Zhou Group, has publicly acknowledged that I am the Zhou family's daughter."

"Yet you're here helping an imposter, openly speaking disrespectfully to me, the real deal. Aren't you afraid of the Zhou family's methods? With the Zhou family's influence in the business world, bringing down your company would be a piece of cake."

Those around Zhou Yulan gasped in shock upon hearing his words.

They originally thought this girl from the countryside would swallow her anger, but they didn't expect her to fight back so sharply and even bring up the Zhou family's influence, which made everyone look at her with new respect.

Su Yaoyao and Lin Bingli's faces turned pale instantly. They never expected Zhou Yulan to respond so forcefully.

Their original plan to humiliate her has backfired, leaving them in an extremely awkward situation.

"Okay, good point!"

Everyone immediately turned around at the sound, and saw Jian Yunzhou clapping as he walked slowly with composed steps. He had a seemingly gentle and harmless smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to understand his true intentions.

"Ladies, this is just a small misunderstanding. Why make things so unpleasant? We are all people of status. At this banquet, we should value harmony above all else."

As Jian Yunzhou spoke, he subtly winked at Su Yaoyao, his eyes revealing an undeniable authority, yet his lips still held that gentle smile. "Miss Su, you were ultimately used by some people with ulterior motives in this matter. You should apologize to Miss Zhou as soon as possible."

Miss Zhou is the apple of the Zhou family's eye, of noble birth; we must not be impolite."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Zhou family" to remind Su Yaoyao not to offend the Zhou family out of momentary anger, thus bringing unnecessary trouble to herself and her family.

Although Su Yaoyao was filled with resentment, she understood the deeper meaning behind Jian Yunzhou's words and was well aware of the gap in strength between her company and the Zhou Group.

She bit her lower lip, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as she reluctantly said, "Miss Zhou, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Su Yaoyao had already lowered her head, Lin Bingli could only reluctantly mutter "I'm sorry" in a low voice.

Seeing this, Jian Yunzhou quickly turned to Zhou Yulan, bowed slightly, and put on a flattering smile, saying, "Miss Zhou, you see, they have already realized their mistakes. Please forgive them this time."

Zhou Yulan glanced at him indifferently, "What's it to you?"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Su Yaoyao and Lin Bingli and said in a cold voice, "It's your business if you two apologize; whether I accept it or not is my business."

After saying that, she ignored everyone and turned to walk straight towards the stairs. Zhou Yulan did not appear until the end of the banquet.

Meanwhile, in the study on the second floor, Xiaobai was clearly projecting everything that was happening in the lobby on the first floor onto a large screen, while Canglan sat on the sofa beside him, quietly watching it all.

A hint of relief appeared in her eyes, "Fortunately, this girl isn't a pushover and those people didn't get their way."

After a pause, a cold glint flashed in Cang Lan's eyes as he said, "Xiao Bai, exaggerate the actions of those who bullied Yu Lan at the banquet."

Of course, we shouldn't go too far, lest we damage our relationships with other prominent families. But we also need to let them know that the Zhou family isn't to be trifled with. As for those rich young masters and ladies, I'm sure their parents will teach them a lesson.

Xiao Bai immediately replied, "Host, no problem, leave it to me!"

Then, a cunning glint flashed in Cang Lan's eyes, and his hands quickly formed a hand seal. In an instant, a clone that looked exactly like Zhou Yu Lan appeared in the room.

Seeing this, Xiaobai was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "Host, what are you trying to do?"

"Let's kill him!"

Cang Lan's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Xiao Bai understood immediately, simply said "Oh" softly, and didn't ask any more questions.

The next second, Canglan's clone appeared outside Wang Shaodong's house like a ghost. The clone flashed and silently climbed over the wall, stood in front of the door, and then politely knocked.

Inside the room, Wang Shaodong and Chen Lihua were fast asleep in bed when they were suddenly awakened by the knocking. Wang Shaodong mumbled sleepily, "Who is it? Who's knocking at the door in the middle of the night?" As he spoke, he hurriedly began to put on his clothes, making rustling noises.

Chen Lihua was also woken up, and said sleepily, "That's not right, I remember locking the front door. Who's there? Why are they knocking?"

Both of them spoke with a hint of fear, their bodies tensed involuntarily, and their eyes were filled with vigilance and unease. After exchanging a glance, they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

Wang Shaodong had done many wicked things since he was a child, and now he was even more frightened, his face turning deathly pale. He said in a trembling voice, "Mom, could it be some kind of ghost?"

As he spoke, he shakily picked up an axe from under the bed and gripped it tightly in his hand.

However, the knocking started again, and this time it was even more urgent than before.

Wang Shaodong was so frightened that his legs went weak and he dared not move an inch. He said to Chen Lihua in a tearful voice, "You...you go open the door."

Chen Lihua was so frightened that she hid under the covers, shaking her head desperately: "No, you have an axe, what are you afraid of? Chop him to pieces, whether he's a person or a ghost!"

Wang Shaodong was both angry and scared, and shouted, "You fucking talk nonsense without knowing the consequences! Go open the door!"

As the two were arguing, Canglan's clone outside the door completely lost his patience and kicked out with a loud "bang." The door was kicked open and crashed directly into Wang Shaodong inside the room.
