Chapter 229: Change the Terms (12th Update)

"You... what do you want?"

Wang Ping's face turned wildly pale as he saw Chen Yuan looking at him.

The butler, being the overlord of Nanlin, had already bowed down to Chen Yuan, and though Wang Ping was from the affluent circle of Yanjing, he found himself far from home without the slightest means to counter Chen Yuan.

"Heh, what do I want?"

Chen Yuan's gaze was indifferent, and he said with a sneer.

"First, your Wang Family drove Zhilin's mother to flee, subsequently causing her death, and then you cast Zhilin out of the Wang Family, leaving her to fend for herself."

"After so many years, you haven't had the slightest intention of making amends. If that were the case, I wouldn't have bothered."

"But what you absolutely should not have done was to seek out Zhilin to return to the Wang Family, using her as a bargaining chip to trade for benefits!"

Upon hearing Chen Yuan recount the events of the past, a trace of sorrow surfaced in Wang Zhilin's eyes.
