Chapter 511 Concrete

After a few days of going around having interviews and photoshoot, Lily and Zhou Jingren finally went back to Sky City. However, the duo did not even unpack their luggage as they immediately went to Singapore to attend the reading of the Old Man's Will.

The reading of the will be in the Lee Family's house and will be attended by Thomas, Ron, Adrian, Zhou Jingren, and Zhou Dae Un. However, Zhou Dae Un declined the invitation and told the lawyer that she would like Lily to become her representative, instead.

Of course, the Lawyer disagreed. After all, Lily is not Zhou Dae Un's lawyer. Moreover, she was not invited to the reading. But when the Zhou Jingren refused to attend without Lily. In the end, the Lawyer was forced to bend and ended up allowing her to become Zhou Dae Un's representative.

This made Adrian, and Ron fumed in anger. But what can they do? The lawyer already told them that Zhou Jingren's attendance is very important in the reading.

"I was already expecting this!" Adrian slowly massaged his still injured arm. The wound from his surgery was already healing. However, the mention of Lily and Zhou Jingren's name seemed to make his wound throbbed in pain. "That woman won't stop until she acquires the Lee Group!"

"Calm yourself! You know being too angry is not good for you." Thomas immediately reprimanded his son. "This anger won't help us in any way." He uttered in a calm tone.

Adrian grunted in response. "Father, how could you be this calm?" he asked. Confused at his father's reaction. "If Zhou Jingren decides to take over the company, you will suffer the most injustice! You took care of this company for decades! How could you be this calm, knowing that it was about to be taken away from you?"

Thomas only let out a sigh. Calm? This was only on the outside! On the inside, he was struggling. He was afraid and hesitant to trust Lily and her plans. However, what could he do? He could not just defeat someone who knows all secrets that the Lee Family had. He needed someone from the outside to help him. "As I said… Anger won't do us any good."

Their conversation was interrupted when the lawyer arrived with Zhou Jingren and Lily in tow. Their arrival immediately changed the atmosphere In the living room.

"You did not even dare to show your face on grandfather's funeral," Adrian spoke first. Displeasure laced his tone. "And yet, you are here now. Aren't you afraid that grandfather's soul will haunt you in your sleep?"

"How was your arm?" Zhou Jingren titled his head towards Adrian. He eyed his arm as a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Does it still hurt?"

Adrian immediately felt his throat tightened. Anger immediately started to boil inside him. He opened his mouth as he was about to argue, but his father already beat him to it.

"He is fine now," Thomas said as he sent a warning glance at his son. "The surgery went well."

"Good." Lily chimed in. "You should be more careful." She beamed at Adrian. "Stop being too clumsy. You can't just bump into a block of concrete when you feel like it and expect nothing in return." While Lily's words seemed to mean well, everyone in the room except the lawyer, knew what she meant.

Lily had likened her and Zhou Jingren into the concrete that Adrian bump into. As expected, Adrian's face immediately reddened. He suddenly rose from his seat and walked towards Lily. However, Zhou Jingren was quick enough to stand in front of his wife. He narrowed his eyes at the furious Adrian.

The duo was almost of the same height, however, Zhou Jingren's body is more muscular than Adrian's tall and thin physique. If the two would stand in front of each other, anyone could see who will win in case they fight.

"Adrian!"

"Stop it, Adrian!" Thomas and Ron said almost at the same time.

"You want to touch her?" There was no warmth in Zhou Jingren's voice. "You think… you can just touch my woman because you want to?" An arrogant smirk hung on Zhou Jingren's lips. "You can try."

"She disrespected me!" Adrian hissed. He glared at Zhou Jingren as he refused to back down. How could he allow this woman to belittle him as if he was worthless? His eyes moved passed Zhou Jingren, only to see Lily languidly sitting on the chair, the same arrogant smirk was plastered on her face.

This sent fury inside Adrian. He could feel himself burning with rage. "Move!" he ordered.

"Adrian! Go back to your seat!" Thomas approached the two and tried to move in front of his son. No matter what happens, Adrian is still his son that Thomas is not planning to abandon him.

"This woman… just disrespected me, father." Adrian did not take his eyes off Zhou Jingren. "If you are so brave then… why don't you hurt me?" Adrian said. Seeing Zhou Jingren not move an inch, he continued. "If you are not planning to hurt me now then, move!"

"It's alright, Jingren. We should let him hurt me." Lily's voice was full of amusement and mockery. "A minor sacrifice that will show the world what kind of man is he. I think it's worth it."

"Shut it!" Adrian raised his voice.

"I never knew that you really like to lose your arms." Zhou Jingren's sudden words were enough to stop all the curses that Adrian was planning to utter.

When Thomas heard Zhou Jingren's words, panic immediately rose inside him. "Adrian move back to your seat!" He held his son's arm and tried pulling him back to his seat.

"You think I am afraid of you?" Adrian ignored his father's words. Instead, he walked closer to Zhou Jingren. "Come on… show everyone here what you are." He challenged. "Or are you afraid that your woman will see the real you?" Since it had come to this, Adrian decided to try and provoke him. He wanted Zhou Jingren to lose his temper and hurt him.

Surely, Zhou Jingren would not be able to inflict so much damage, right? After all, his father and the lawyer could stop Zhou Jingren. Moreover, he could also use this against Zhou Jingren! Well… he was wrong.

Adrian was too engrossed in his own mind that he failed to see Lily rose from her seat and directly walked towards him.

*Pak*

The loud slap echoed inside the living room.
