Chapter 384: Difference in Status

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhao Yan was not surprised that Zou Bai would do this. He had already provoked him to that extent just now. It would be wrong if he did not react.

“What is Fourth Master Zou doing?” Zhao Yan smiled. “Could it be that he wants to beat me up?”

Since Zhao Yan dared to provoke Zou Bai, he naturally had his own confidence. Although the Zhao Family was not as powerful as before, it was still one of the four great families. The four great families in Beijing had to help each other and could not casually attack another family.

This was a rule set by the ancestors of the four great families. It was to prevent internal strife and bloodshed in the capital. If that time ever came, other families would take advantage of it.

Moreover, Beijing was the center of China. If it was chaotic there, the entire country would not be at peace. It would affect the stability of the country.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Yan didn’t do anything, Zou Bai couldn’t do anything to him.

Injuring the heir of the Zhao family was a challenge to the entire Zhao family.

Under Zhao Yan’s smug expression, Zou Bai walked over and punched him in the face. Zhao Yi did not expect Zou Bai to attack. He only reacted to block the second punch.

“Fourth Master Zou, this is our family’s future head. You’re not putting the Zhao family in your eyes!” Zhao Yi said loudly.

Zou Bai laughed. “Don’t use these things to pressure me. Ask those old men what they can really do to me.”

Of course not. The Zou Family was the most powerful family in Beijing. The other three families had their own concerns and couldn’t cooperate, so the elders turned a blind eye to Zou Bai.

Zhao Yan touched the blood at the corner of his mouth and said, “I’m the heir of the Zhao family. You’re looking down on the entire Zhao family!”

“Stop trying to pin the crime on me. The reason why I hit you has nothing to do with the two families. It’s because you’re having improper thoughts about my girlfriend. If the reason for this gets out, everyone will think that you deserved it,” Zou Bai said as he extended his hand toward Zou Yi.

Zou Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it over. Zou Bai wiped his hands as if he had touched something dirty, then threw the handkerchief on the ground.

Zhao Yan was about to faint from anger, but he maintained the dignity of an heir and said, “You’re twisting logic. Nothing I said just now was out of line.”

“Whatever I say will be true. Those people take my words as truth and won’t pursue whether you did or not. Because I’m different from you. I control more than half of the power in the capital and I’m called Fourth Master, while you’re only Young Master Zhao.”

After saying this, Zou Bai turned around and left. He didn’t say anything warning him to stay away from Jiang An in the future. In any case, he had already expressed his attitude today. If Zhao Yan continued to do it, he would directly attack the Zhao family. There was no use in saying harsh words.

However, this kind of disregard infuriated Zhao Yan even more. He hated Zou Bai’s attitude the most. He was clearly the most outstanding person among his peers, but everyone could only see Zou Bai.

“Young Master, let’s hurry back.” Zhao Yi came over to support him.

Zhao Yan shook off Zhao Yi’s hand and said, “Sooner or later, I will let him taste defeat, and he will lose at my feet.”

After sending everyone off, Li Mei pulled Jiang An and said, “An’an, stay away from Zhao Yan in the future. His eyes are full of schemes.”

“Mom, I also feel that something is wrong with him. Every word he says is targeting Zou Bai. I wonder how much hatred the two of them have for each other. They won’t stop even at other people’s dining tables,” Jiang An said.

She was acutely aware of Zhao Yan’s malice towards Zou Bai. Furthermore, he was the kind of person who would target him everywhere. Zhao Yan had placed all his attention on this matter and did not remember that he was still a guest at someone else’s house.

If they quarreled at the dining table, the Jiang family would lose all their face.

Moreover, Zou Bai was her lover. She could not watch Zhao Yan treat Zou Bai like this.

“Zhao Yan is a good child, but he’s too obsessed with winning and losing. He wants to suppress others with every word. With such a personality, something will happen sooner or later,” Li Mei said.

She had always been very tolerant of children. Zhao Yan had indeed performed very well the first time he came to visit. He was a child that the elders would like.

However, whenever he encountered Zou Bai, he would lose control of his emotions. It was as if his heart and mind were only filled with the desire to defeat Zou Bai.

His life and dreams had been devoured. Zou Bai also had his own life. He had to learn to look away from himself so that he could live a good life.

However, Li Mei could not say these words. She could only let him discover it himself..
