Volume One, Chapter 28: The Whole Family Are Drama Queens

A servant dressed in hemp robes crept into the room piled high with books. Seeing the herbs and manuscripts scattered across the floor, he scoffed, "A woman should just honestly focus on marriage and raising children. What is the point of all this effort? In the end, won't it all just be a dowry for the young master?"

Annie personally posted on Twitter that there would be a total power outage in the West District of London for ten minutes, claiming it was to support environmental filming.

After the three of them discussed it, they flew toward the Hourglass Eye, intending to assess the situation first.

For a moment, those present whispered among themselves. This was the Golden Sands Casino; anyone capable of running such an establishment in the entire city was no simple character. The influence behind this place had to be unimaginably vast; otherwise, opening a casino of this scale would have been impossible.

The fat man ignored him, his face full of disdain, and sneered, "Old man Starlight, do you even know what it means to be shameless?"

Suddenly, a group of people arrived and dragged him away, while the corpse on the ground was placed into a black bag.

Although Zhuge Ming was not killed by Guan Weina, how many people knew the truth behind that incident?

Although the Empress Dowager was not the Emperor’s biological mother, the two had always been harmonious and shared a deep bond. Since this was the first birthday celebration for the Empress Dowager since the Emperor’s ascension, he had instructed the Imperial Household Department a month prior to organize the banquet with the utmost care.

However, given Old Master Zheng’s current behavior, she had no excuse to lash out, and dealing with a major noble family so casually would not look good if word got out.

"There's no need for a threesome, is there? I'm not that enlightened!" Bao Ning had spent his life in the military and was unlike those idle playboys; he rarely sought out pleasure with others, let alone such peculiar pastimes.

"Director Bao, come here." Standing by the window with his hands behind his back, Liu Xinjian turned his head and called out to Bao Dejun.

Seeing that Yang Xue was stuttering and unable to form complete sentences due to her nervousness, Lin Yifeng smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand to Zhao Ming.

They arrived before a massive bucket of hot water, which was bubbling away and looked perfect for a bath.

"Thank you." After Wei San and the others had left, Xuan Ge looked at Lin Yifeng and expressed her gratitude.

"Since you don't know what your hands are for, Second Aunt, I think it's better if you don't have them at all." Chu Ran tightened his fingers, his delicate features clouded with a cold, murderous intent.

Prompted by Lu Nan’s signal, Director Xu stood up, interrupted Director Li, and offered a relatively rational statement.

Zhang Chulan didn't care; he was at the company under the name "Luke," and no one knew his true identity.

He Daopao was a primary target for him to deal with. Compared to the others, Qi Tongwei placed greater importance on him; therefore, using the term "bait" to describe He Daopao was quite appropriate.

After work, Qi Tongwei approached Jia Changfu. If he wanted to launch operations in the Yantai Anti-Narcotics Team in the future and gain the support of the team, he could not do without Jia Changfu’s approval.

Two milky-white orbs of light appeared on their bodies, and the next moment, the system’s voice echoed in his mind.

Xia Mengning said this while watching with satisfaction as Xia Mengxi’s face turned pale, all the while secretly signaling to Zhangsun Yun.

The two shared a carriage to the foot of Jingming Temple and climbed the mountain together. Jiu'er felt a bit embarrassed to see Leng Xiao also following by Zhangsun Yun's side, but when they reached the summit, Zhangsun Yun and Xia Mengning both walked into the temple, leaving Jiu'er and Leng Xiao outside.

As she opened the door to the master bedroom, the man’s footsteps happened to pass by, and he turned his handsome face to look at her.

He Danggui’s face flushed. She poked Meng Xuan on the forehead and said with a straight face, "If you ever bring this up again, or treat me like this again, I will... I will prick you with a needle." It was a line that lacked both momentum and intimidation. Should she think of more frightening words in the future to deal with Meng Xuan?
