Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 558

The Zhou family banquet was pin-drop silent.

The Zhou family's children and all the present guests were left in a state of shock, staring blankly at Zhou Lie's family.

Even Mr. Zhou became cautious, wearing a smile on his face as he greeted the guests.

"Li Hongtu, a billionaire, Ma Sanyuan, the leader of Jiangling, and Tang Weiguo, Fang Zhentian, two highly respected old generals…"

Each of them was a prominent figure, a towering presence that commanded respect. These were individuals whose seniority and status would make it difficult for them to even meet, let alone be invited to celebrate a birthday with such important gifts.

And who was behind all of this? The much-ridiculed third child of the Zhou family?

Was this the same person who was once the laughingstock, the jokester?

All eyes were fixed on Zhou Lie, who was engaged in a pleasant conversation with Li Hongtu and the other influential figures of high standing.

Shock, envy, doubt, resentment…

An array of emotions flooded the room, leaving everyone feeling immensely embarrassed and ashamed.

They realized that the ones who had been the laughingstock and mockery were none other than themselves!

Observing Zhou Lie, Zhou Yang, Zhou Wen, and other family members proudly flaunting themselves, they now wore gloomy expressions that reeked of embarrassment.

Though the guests they had invited were of some value, in comparison to Li Hongtu and the others, they were unfit for the grand occasion.

In this awkward atmosphere, they could not help but feel as though the gazes of the guests were invisible slaps, striking their faces repeatedly, resounding with a deafening crack!

"What's the big deal? Even if Zhou Lie invites more wealthy and influential individuals, so what? This is still the Zhou family in Yanjing, and it's not his place to show off his power here!"
