My Ares Son-in-Law

Chen Ziyan felt as if her cheeks were being roasted on fire, burning with pain. She even felt that her teeth were a little loose, and a faint taste of blood filled her mouth.

who? !

Who would dare hit her?!

Chen Ziyan has completely gone mad!
Her eyes were wide open like copper bells, bloodshot, burning with the flames of anger and humiliation.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

What day is today?!

She screamed inwardly, "Does anyone in the world dare to step on my foot, Chen Ziyan?!"
She has always been a high-class socialite in the ancient city. When has she ever suffered such humiliation and beating?
How could she possibly tolerate this!

She turned her head sharply, the movement swift and violent, like an enraged beast preparing to launch its most frenzied attack on the enemy.

Her eyes blazed with a venomous fire capable of incinerating everything; her gaze seemed to burn the other person to ashes.

The most vicious curses were brewing in her mouth, and those venomous words were swirling in her mind. She wished she could unleash all the most offensive and vicious words in the world on the person who dared to lay a hand on her.

She was about to pounce on her without hesitation, tearing that bitch's face apart with her sharp nails, making her pay a terrible price for her actions!

However, the moment she saw who had attacked her...

All the movements and all the curses seemed to have been paused, completely frozen in place.

Her body seemed frozen in place, only her violently heaving chest revealed her extreme shock and fear.

Her pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

The resentment and anger on his face were instantly replaced by a deeper, more profound look of horror and disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Her mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't make a sound, as if an invisible hand was choking her.

Her body felt as if it had been frozen solid, her blood seemed to have stopped flowing, and she felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

Standing in front of her was a young woman.

A woman, breathtakingly beautiful yet with an icy demeanor, appeared without warning in the somewhat oppressive parking lot.

She wore a simple yet luxurious off-white trench coat. The material of the coat looked soft and smooth, yet had a wonderful drape. It swayed slightly with her light steps, perfectly outlining her tall and slender figure. It was like a suit of armor tailor-made for her, highlighting her elegance while exuding an unassailable majesty.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, without a single unnecessary embellishment, yet her beauty was natural and pure. Every strand of hair seemed to radiate a captivating luster, and in the slightly dim light of the parking lot, it even shimmered with a lustrous sheen, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Her skin was as white as snow, so fair and delicate that it was flawless, as if it had been carved from the purest mutton fat jade in the world.

Beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of clear eyes, as deep and bright as an autumn pool. Those eyes were like a vast ocean of stars, or like frost that had settled in a pool for thousands of years. At this moment, however, they contained a chilling frost and an innate, aloof arrogance.

That gaze seemed to penetrate one's soul, leaving no one able to hide in her presence.

It was a kind of aloofness and detachment that only a true aristocratic family could cultivate, as if a goddess in the clouds was looking down at ants in the mud at her feet, with an innate sense of superiority and distance that made people dare not approach her easily.

"It's Zhou Keying!"

Chen Ziyan's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief, as if she had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world. She never imagined that the woman before her, who seemed like a goddess descended from heaven, was actually Zhou Keying, who had just started living in Yunqi!
"Why is she here?!"

Countless questions surged into Chen Ziyan's mind in an instant, tangled together like a mess of yarn, giving her a splitting headache.

She clearly remembered that Zhou Keying went in to buy something, so how could she suddenly appear here and slap herself at just the right moment?

What exactly is going on?

"Why...why did she hit me?!"

Chen Ziyan's voice trembled, carrying a hint of anger and grievance, but more so confusion and bewilderment.

She couldn't understand why, although she and Zhou Keying had always had some conflicts, it hadn't come to the point of fighting in public.

Moreover, in her mind, Zhou Keying, like her father, was not having an easy time in the ancient city. She should be like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone, hiding in a dark corner and trembling with fear.

How dare she... how dare she slap herself in public?!
Most importantly... Chen Ziyan was horrified to discover that she dared not fight back!

They didn't dare to have even the slightest thought of resistance!

The powerful aura emanating from Zhou Keying was like an invisible mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

She knew that if she dared to fight back, even more terrible consequences would await her.

The power of Zhou Keying's family is something that a mere Chen Ziyan cannot contend with.

Because the woman in front of me was once a very famous figure in the ancient city!
She was once the sole heir of the Zhou Group, the apple of Zhou Huaishan's eye!

Zhou Huaishan is a powerful figure in the western business world. Under his leadership, the Zhou Group is like a lion, rampaging through the business jungle and winning every battle.

Zhou Keying, as Zhou Huaishan's only daughter, has been pampered since childhood, enjoying the best educational resources and being in contact with the top business circles.

She is like a dazzling star, shining brightly in the vast sky of the western region. She is one of the most brilliant stars, inspiring countless people to look up to her and admire her.

The Chen family is probably considered one of the top families in the ancient city, with considerable power and influence in the area, and they are used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly.

But compared to the Zhou family's former dominance, the Chen family was utterly insignificant.

The Zhou family's businesses span various sectors, and their network of connections is incredibly complex, like a vast and robust net covering the entire western region.

Compared to the Zhou family, the Chen family was nothing more than an insignificant ant, which could be easily crushed by the Zhou family at any time.

Even now that Zhou Keying's own company has been confiscated, she has fallen from grace and is like a stray dog, losing her former glory and honor.

But as long as she returns to the Zhou family, given her status within the family and the importance the family places on her, she will still be the rightful heir of the Zhou family.

In the Zhou family, who would dare not treat her with utmost respect?

Moreover, the chilling, almost tangible pressure emanating from Zhou Keying was like a biting wind, sending shivers down Chen Ziyan's spine. (End of Chapter)
