Seeing the conversation between the two becoming increasingly tense, An Lan furrowed her brows and said,
"Xia Jiba, this is a party hosted by my An Family, not a place for you to run wild!"
"Heh."
Xia Jiba completely disregarded her, instead staring daggers at Chen Yuan as he said,
"Kid, I've grown up so much, and you are the first person to dare provoke me like this."
"I will let you see just how wide the gap between us is."
Chen Yuan smirked disdainfully, just about to speak, when a middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor pushed through the crowd and came over:
"What's going on here? Who is causing trouble?"
"Isn't that Chairman An? Wow, he's here, I guess that kid is in for it now," whispered someone familiar with the middle-aged man.
An Ning was the second son of Old Sir An and also An Lan's second uncle. Since An Lan's father did not manage the affairs of the Qingzhou Company, An Ning could be considered the visible Sect Leader of the An Family in Qingzhou.
