The atmosphere in the hall began to grow somewhat heavy.
Yuuki Kyoko merely looked at Luo Zhen, but that single action caused the rest of the Yuuki Family to stop whatever they were doing and fall silent in unison.
Even Asuna's heart tightened again, and her lovely face grew tense.
Taking it all in, Luo Zhen looked deeply at Yuuki Kyoko.
Though Asuna's mother was merely a woman, this rumored figure was by no means simple.
Although Yuuki Shozo was undoubtedly the head of the Yuuki Family, he still did not dare act too recklessly in front of Yuuki Kyoko.
That was because Yuuki Kyoko had come from an ordinary background in the countryside, yet had relied on her own abilities to fight her way upward, get into a prestigious university, and make a name for herself in society. She later became a professor at another prestigious university. After marrying Yuuki Shozo, she used her sharp tongue and ruthless political maneuvering to defeat all her rivals within the university faculty. Last year, at the age of forty-nine, she became a full professor. Many men instinctively feared her and had no desire to confront her head-on.
Even Yuuki Shozo, her husband, did his utmost to avoid disagreements with Yuuki Kyoko at home. The Yuuki Family's two children had received a strict education since childhood, and this mother deserved no small amount of credit for that. By contrast, Yuuki Shozo, their father, had never been good at observing the people around him. He only paid attention to running the company. Even though he was no longer its CEO, he still constantly traveled around to adjust the company's cooperation with foreign capital.
It was precisely because of this that Yuuki Shozo had mistakenly trusted Sugou Nobuyuki and caused his daughter to suffer.
