Chapter 13 Three Thousand Lanterns Fill The Building

  • "You scoundrel, do you know who my husband is?"
  • "If you dare lay a finger on me, my husband will demolish this lousy establishment!"
  • In that moment, He Wei struggled, and her beautiful cheongsam was torn, revealing a glimpse of her beauty.
  • However, she received no sympathy.
  • For the Three Thousand Lanterns, this was the norm.
  • "I apologize, miss, but this establishment has already been reserved. It doesn't matter who you are!"
  • He Jingcheng's tone was indifferent as he looked down on He Wei. Then, he turned around and bowed to Ning Beichuan, saying, "Please follow me, gentlemen!"
  • "Nonsense! That's because you don't know who my husband is!"
  • "Who is he?"
  • Ning Beichuan became slightly intrigued.
  • To be able to have a woman like He Wei, the other party must be quite extraordinary.
  • "I'm afraid it would frighten you if I told you. Well, my husband will be here soon. Get ready to beg for mercy on your knees!"
  • He Wei's gaze was filled with resentment and arrogance.
  • "In that case, let him kneel."
  • "What?"
  • Upon hearing Ning Beichuan's words, He Wei was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "With your lowly status, what difference does it make if you reserve the place? In my husband's eyes, you're nothing."
  • Her husband was the ruler of this city, involved in both the underworld and the business world, with unparalleled power.
  • How could Ning Beichuan, a lowly person, compare?
  • "Wife, what's going on?"
  • Coincidentally, the doors of the Three Thousand Lanterns opened, and a young man in a light blue suit walked in, exuding confidence.
  • Ning Beichuan smiled. It was quite a coincidence that it was Chen Dingtian, who had just kneeled before him.
  • He Jingcheng and the others were all stunned when they saw the newcomer.
  • Chen Dingtian!
  • The young master of Dingsheng Group, a figure who held immense power!
  • No wonder He Wei dared to be so arrogant.
  • For a moment, He Jingcheng was caught in a dilemma.
  • Chen Dingtian alone didn't have the qualifications, but if it involved Dingsheng Group behind him, it would be difficult to handle.
  • "This kid insulted me. He said you're nothing but a joke and that even if you came, you would have to kneel and beg for mercy."
  • He Wei sobbed, her eyes red.
  • But deep down, she sneered, feeling extremely proud.
  • With Chen Dingtian's arrival, Ning Beichuan had to kneel before him, whether he was a dragon or a tiger!
  • "Damn it, who? I won't let him off until I kill him."
  • Upon hearing He Wei's words, Chen Dingtian immediately became agitated. He was already feeling uncomfortable because of the previous incident.
  • And now, the word "kneel" came up again, reminding him of the humiliation he had suffered before.
  • Like a powder keg, he exploded in an instant!
  • "It's me, Ning Beichuan. What's the matter?"
  • Ning Beichuan's tone was calm, his voice neither too loud nor too low, just enough for Chen Dingtian to hear.
  • Boom!
  • Chen Dingtian was dumbfounded, turning around with a face full of despair, trembling as he said, "Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning!"
  • Chen Dingtian felt like crying without tears.
  • How did he see this guy again in the blink of an eye? He was still filled with anger!
  • But the contract hadn't been officially signed yet, so he didn't dare!
  • Thump!
  • Chen Dingtian bent his legs and knelt in front of Ning Beichuan.
  • He was completely stunned!
  • The three thousand Mingdeng staff were also dumbfounded!
  • The young master of the Dingsheng Group, the legitimate heir, the future ruler of Liangcheng, was actually kneeling like this?!
  • He Wei trembled all over, her eyes widened, almost popping out of her head!
  • She couldn't believe it and said, "Honey, what are you doing...?"
  • "Slap! Damn it, you're just a mistress I keep. Who gave you the courage to talk to Mr. Ning and Miss Chen like this? Kneel down for me!"
  • Chen Dingtian slapped He Wei's face, making her dizzy.
  • Thump!
  • He Wei knelt in front of Ning Beichuan, completely dumbfounded!
  • This act of kneeling trampled on all her dignity.
  • This act of kneeling also made her truly realize the gap between her and Chen Zitong.
  • "Tsk."
  • "I thought it was someone important, turns out it's just a mistress. How ridiculous."
  • "Yeah, look at her seductive appearance, tsk tsk..."
  • Everyone mocked and ridiculed, making He Wei even more unable to lift her head!
  • "Mr. Ning, I'm truly sorry for disturbing your enjoyment. I apologize!"
  • Chen Dingtian kept apologizing, his tone humble.
  • "Alright, since you're so sensible, you may leave."
  • Ning Beichuan hugged Chen Zitong's waist and ascended to the top floor of the Three Thousand Lanterns.
  • "Yes, yes, yes."
  • Chen Dingtian stood up and kicked He Wei hard, scolding angrily, "You useless woman, get lost!"
  • "Mr. Ning, please take a seat on the top floor!"
  • He Jingcheng smiled lightly, it seemed that there was no need to hesitate anymore.
  • He bowed respectfully and invited Ning Beichuan and Chen Zitong to the top floor of the Three Thousand Lanterns.
  • Boom!
  • Chen Dingtian was dumbfounded, shocked, and envious.
  • The top floor!
  • That was a place that others could hardly reach in their lifetime, even his father didn't have the qualifications!
  • What merits and abilities did Ning Beichuan possess?
  • Unfortunately, Ning Beichuan had already left. Chen Dingtian turned around dejectedly and left without looking back. This time... he truly lost face.
  • The top floor.
  • Glowing lights and the Three Thousand Lanterns soaring into the sky.
  • Flowing water and raised wine cups, with scattered pavilions in all directions, densely packed yet luxurious, giving people the feeling of being in a dreamlike kingdom.
  • "So beautiful," Chen Zitong fell in love with it at first sight.
  • Being in this misty and ethereal wonderland, with a lone figure resembling a startled swan, it was indescribable and difficult to put into words.
  • But her racing heart told her that all of this was real!
  • "Younger brother, am I not dreaming?" Chen Zitong pinched Ning Beichuan's face, looking disappointed. "It doesn't hurt, it seems like I'm really dreaming."
  • Ning Beichuan: "..."
  • He reached out and held Chen Zitong's hand, striding towards the Flowing Cloud Terrace, overlooking the bustling world.
  • With just one glance, the entire Liang City was within reach!
  • Ning Beichuan said, "You're not dreaming. If you're willing, I'm willing to give you the whole world!"
  • This was not an empty boast.
  • With Ning Beichuan's status and influence, he indeed had the ability to make it happen.
  • But Chen Zitong's thoughts were not focused on that at all.
  • She leaned over and kissed Ning Beichuan's cheek, smiling. "Younger brother, thank you."
  • It was already more than enough.
  • What else did she have to complain about?
  • Since they had already eaten, they weren't very hungry.
  • So the two of them simply wandered around on the rooftop, and Chen Zitong even took a few pictures to share on her social media.
  • Just as they were about to leave, He Jingcheng ran up to them.
  • He was a businessman with a keen eye for investment opportunities.
  • "Miss Chen, this is your VIP card. You can enter directly without any procedures next time."
  • "Really?"
  • Chen Zitong looked at He Jingcheng with excitement. "Can I?"
  • "Of course."
  • Hearing He Jingcheng's words, Chen Zitong carefully put away the VIP card as if it were a treasure, feeling very happy.
  • "You're quite impressive," Ning Beichuan looked at He Jingcheng and commented.
  • This made He Jingcheng's heart race, feeling extremely honored!
  • In the afternoon, Chen Zitong became busy, while Ning Beichuan grew bored and urged Xiaotian.
  • It was not only about the gift for Chen Zitong, but also about the long-standing feud between brothers and the debt left by their parents.
  • "I've found some clues, and everything points to the Lu family."
  • "The Lu family in Liang City?"
  • "No, it's the Lu family in Shengjing."
  • Ning Beichuan pondered for a moment. "This might just be a minor role. Let's wait and continue to gather information."
  • "Understood."
  • Xiaotian nodded and continued, "By the way, there's also a minor issue with the Nangong family..."
  • "A minor issue?"
  • Ning Beichuan's expression turned cold.
  • A sense of danger filled the air, like a sharp sword hanging over their heads.
  • Anything that Xiaotian referred to as a minor issue was usually quite serious.
  • "There's a fierce internal struggle within the Nangong family, and it has reached a highly violent stage."
  • "Who is currently in power?"
  • "There are three factions competing for dominance, and the situation is still unclear, so it's hard to determine."
  • "But I estimate that the outcome will be decided by next Sunday, and hmm... it will be extremely disadvantageous for Brother Xiao Yue's faction!"
  • "Hmm, I'll make time to personally visit."
