Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Marriott Hotels.

The first to fifth floors are all restaurants, while the floors above the fifth floor are all hotels.

Zhou Liwan wore a black halter top and a pearl necklace today, making her look both noble and elegant.

Her long, flowing hair was styled in a low bun, revealing her graceful swan neck and porcelain-like skin, which looked exceptionally alluring in the dim light.

The fifth floor was all private rooms and very quiet. Zhou Liwan quietly followed the waiter and soon arrived at the door of the private room.

As the door opened, the interior of the private room was immediately visible.

Outside the large glass windows, the night view of City A suddenly came into view.

The Bund's street scene is brightly lit, and the bustling traffic on the busy streets is like a silent movie scene.

Standing here, it feels as if you can take in all the extravagance and debauchery of the world.

At the round table, Zhou Wenyue and her daughter Han Xiaofen each occupied one side.

The location was well chosen. Zhou Liwan went straight to the head seat and sat down. After putting her bag down, she seemed to only then notice that the group of people were still standing. She said politely, "Please sit down, everyone. Why are you standing?"

The group sat down awkwardly, each with a different expression. Zhou Wenyue, seeing that the door to the private room was closed, broke the silence and said to everyone, "The main reason I called everyone here today is because my brother has postponed his wedding with Xiaofen."

Han Xiaofen picked up a tissue and pretended to wipe away imaginary tears: "I know Wanwan still resents me, but as my belly gets bigger and bigger, as a mother, I really can't let my child be born into this kind of family environment."

Zhou Liwan glanced at Zhou Qingya beside her with amusement: "Why can't we do it? Isn't this how Zhou Qingya grew up? How come a daughter can live in a broken home, but a son can't?"

Zhou Qingya's expression immediately changed, and Zhou Liwan slowly asked, "What era are we living in? Why are you still so sexist?"

Han Xiaofen looked at Zhou Qingya's tense body with concern and quickly tried to explain. If she didn't say something, she would definitely manage to sow discord between the mother and daughter.

"Not at all. A mother would never favor one over the other. They're both my flesh and blood." She said it as if she wanted to cut her heart out for everyone to see. "Wanwan, you have to believe me. Once I marry into the Zhou family, I will definitely not ignore your feelings. I will take good care of you just like I took care of Ya Ya. You lost your mother when you were little, and I really want to love you dearly."

Zhou Liwan almost burst out laughing; this acting skill deserves a Golden Broom Award.

Han Hyo-fen is undoubtedly the reigning champion.

Zhou Wenyue, standing to the side, seemed deeply moved and sighed, "Sigh, what mother doesn't love her child? Speaking of which, it's not entirely your fault, Xiaofen. You didn't want to do it back then either, but your brother is very possessive. Well... never mind, you wouldn't understand adult matters."

Han Xiaofen looked at Zhou Wenyue with emotion, as if she had found a kindred spirit: "Wenyue, thank you so much. If it weren't for your support over the years, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to raise Ya Ya on my own."

Zhou Wenyue shook her head reassuringly, then casually glanced at Zhou Liwan: "I heard from my brother that he's going to entrust your mother's previous Wanbao Company, along with its funds, bonds, and such, to you for safekeeping, is that right?"

Zhou Liwan sneered inwardly, leisurely watching the spectacle unfold before her, and appropriately playing along: "That's right, I haven't had a formal job since graduation, it's time for me to go out and gain some experience."

Zhou Wenyue worried: "You are still young. You may not be able to handle the company right away. Why don't you leave Wanbao to your aunt and start from the bottom? You can take over after you have gained experience."

Sitting to the side, Han Xiaofen glared angrily at Zhou Wenyue. Her brother had always been in charge of that company, so she hadn't noticed.

Zhou Wenyue also wanted a piece of the pie.

"It's alright, Auntie. You've forgotten, Father has already given me his special assistant. With such a capable helper, I'm sure there won't be any problems. Besides, it's just a company. If it goes bankrupt, so be it. With just a word from me, Grandpa will naturally help me open countless more small companies like that anytime, anywhere." Zhou Liwan sat up straight, looking at the dishes in front of her, which would get cold if she didn't eat them soon.

He then picked up a piece of fine rabbit meat and slowly put it into his mouth.

The meat was tender and juicy, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth; it was indeed delicious.

Zhou Wenyue looked somewhat displeased. She knew that Zhou Liwan's words were not an exaggeration at all. Thinking of this, she felt even more annoyed. Why was it that what they cared about was so indifferent to her?

"I'm doing this for your own good, after all, this is what your mother left behind before she died."

Zhou Liwan picked up a few more pieces, and after swallowing the last bite, she gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a wet wipe: "So Auntie knew that those were left to me by my mother. If she knew, she shouldn't have shamelessly asked for them! Does she still think I'm a three-year-old?"

Zhou Wenyue was furious and slammed her hand on the table: "Is this how you talk to your elders!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Han Xiaofen immediately gave Zhou Wenyue a look and tried to calm things down: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore! We've been here for so long and haven't had a drink together yet, come on! Let's toast together!"

Zhou Wenyue caught her breath, and a hint of jealousy and schadenfreude flashed in her eyes as she thought about what was about to happen.

Then, putting aside his displeasure, he stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Enough said, enough said, come on!"

Zhou Liwan watched as the others stood up, their eyes fixed on her, but she didn't move.

Why hasn't she drunk it yet?

If we don't drink soon, Fatty Dong will get impatient.

After tonight, let's see if Dad will still spoil this arrogant bitch.

Zhou Liwan raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping lightly over everyone's faces, and slowly stood up: "Since everyone is so kind, then I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

After Zhou Liwan finished speaking, she picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Wenyue was overjoyed and quickly added, "Let's drink until we drop today! Let's forget about the past."

Zhou Liwan sneered inwardly. They could let it go since they hadn't suffered any injustice, but she couldn't let it go: "You haven't even had your drinks yet."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhou Wenyue felt much more relaxed and didn't think much of it: "Come on, let's drink together!"

After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After a round of drinks, Zhou Wenyue noticed that Zhou Liwan hadn't reacted yet, so she assumed that she hadn't drunk enough and quickly led everyone to drink one cup after another.

Zhou Liwan glanced at Zhou Wenyue, whose face was flushed, and smiled casually: "Auntie can't hold her liquor. Since you can't drink, let's call it a night."

Zhou Wenyue exclaimed anxiously, "Who says I can't drink!"

After saying that, he pulled everyone to drink some more.

half an hour.

Han Xiaofen looked at Zhou Wenyue, who was already unconscious, and cursed inwardly, "He's more trouble than he's worth."

But I still felt a little strange. When Li Qiang gave me this medicine, he said it would be effective after just one dose.

But how much has she drunk? Why doesn't that bitch Zhou Liwan have any reaction at all?

Han Xiaofen rolled her eyes: "Wanwan, look how much your aunt has drunk. Your father will definitely be angry when you get back. Why don't you take her to the suite upstairs to rest for the night, and go back tomorrow? Here's the room key, take it."

Han Xiaofen sneered; once she entered the suite, she wouldn't be able to escape.

The man has taken some powerful drugs today; he'll definitely make her first time unforgettable.

As for Zhou Wenyue, she's already so drunk, so let her be.

When the man throws her out, she can just go and pick her up herself.

Zhou Liwan lowered her eyes, looked at the room key handed to her, and accepted it with a smile.

Then, with Zhou Wenyue's help, they boarded the elevator and headed towards the suite.
