Chapter 271 - Everyone Is Here
Looking at his back, Min Ting fell silent. After a while, he placed his hands on the railing and sighed softly.
Forget it. He and Min Rufeng were only cooperating now. They weren't very close.
As long as Min Sisi didn't find trouble with him, it actually didn't matter to him whether she was a disaster or not.
However, to be honest, he actually pitied Min Sisi, Qin Bailu, and the others.
Why did they have to offend these big shots?
Not just a big shot, but a group of them!
Tsk, he wouldn't have dared to offend these people.
He didn't know where Min Sisi and Qin Bailu got their courage from, especially Qin Bailu. She clearly knew that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was under Second Brother's protection, but she still dared to find trouble openly.
Second Brother would never let go of someone who tried to provoke his dignity. Furthermore, Qin Bailu had attacked the person who was Second Brother's precious.
If Eldest Miss Yan hadn't wanted to settle it herself, Qin Bailu would have been…
However, Eldest Miss Yan was also a ruthless person. She actually dug out the other party's background, and it was so shocking.
She was happy to watch them fight among themselves.
She seemed to be quite ruthless.
As he was thinking, he heard footsteps behind him.
He looked back.
A middle-aged man in a black suit was walking over.
He was already middle-aged, but it was not difficult to tell that he was a handsome man when he was young. However, he looked more mature and steady now.
He looked a little similar to Min Ting.
"Dad."
"Mmm." It was Min Xiangbei, the protagonist of the Min Family's birthday party today.
"I saw you and Feng standing here from afar. What were you talking about?"
Min Ting respected Min Xiangbei very much so he didn't hide anything from him. He told Min Xiangbei what he had just seen and heard.
After hearing that, Min Xiangbei frowned deeply. "Sisi…" He paused for a moment before continuing," If your grandfather really left a recording and will, why didn't he pass them to me, his son, and instead pass them to a four-year-old child? This in itself doesn't make sense. "
"Of course, Feng has seen the recording and will. Since you said that Feng didn't say anything, I think both the recording and the will are real. It's still unknown how these things ended up in Sisi's hands."
"Feng is willing to keep Sisi in the Min Family. Other than getting the evidence in her hands because of his cooperation with Sisi, he might have other plans. Just keep an eye on her in the future."
"Then, Dad, what's the credibility of Min Sisi saying that she's also Grandfather's granddaughter?"
He didn't ask if Old Master Min indeed had an illegitimate child. It was because Min Ting respected Old Master Min as an elder and didn't want to say bad things about him.
He saw that Min Xiangbei was silent.
Min Ting's heart sank slightly.
After a long while, Min Xiangbei said, "I don't know much about your grandfather's matters. I only remember that when I was young, your grandfather and grandmother seemed to have a huge fight over something. I think your grandfather was pestered by some woman outside. That woman seemed to have schemed against your grandfather."
"But I was too young then so I can't remember it very clearly."
"However, I'm certain about one thing. Even if your grandfather was really schemed against by that woman and even had a child, your grandfather would never hide the fact that he had an illegitimate child and swapped his granddaughters like Sisi said."
"Watch after Sisi more in the future."
"I know what to do even without Dad saying it." He would never allow anyone to behave atrociously in the Min Family, even if he was not the head of the Min Family.
Min Xiangbei nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ting'er, you've interacted with Feng before me. You should know him better than me."
"Is Feng really like what your uncle found out all these years? He grew up in an ordinary family and went to an ordinary university. He only returned to the Min Family after his adoptive parents died in a car accident?"
Min Xiangbei sighed when he thought of how Min Ting suddenly said that Min Rufeng wanted to meet him a few days ago.
That could be considered his first real interaction with Feng.
His impression of Feng in the past was neither good nor bad.
He only thought that since it was Old Master who had personally brought him back to the Min Family and spent so much effort to find him when he went missing by accident later, he just treated him as if the Min Family had an extra person to feed and didn't care much when he came back.
As a result, when Feng had a reputation in the capital for relying on women to earn a living, he simply listened to it and did not take it to heart.
It was only until recently when Feng stood out in the Imperial Capital Hospital and received more and more support that he paid more attention to Feng.
He only paid more attention. He did not want to participate in the Min Family's internal conflict.
If the cause of his father's death wasn't implicated, he wouldn't have gotten involved.
However, his conversation with Feng at that time gave him a new understanding of him.
Feng's speech and actions did not seem like he had grown up in an ordinary family and only graduated from an ordinary university at all.
However, he did not ask further.
However, not asking further did not mean that he was not curious.
When Min Ting heard that, he looked evasive. "This… I'm not very sure either. If Dad wants to know, you can ask him yourself."
Min Ting was raised by Min Xiangbei. How could he not tell that he was not telling the truth?
However, since he was unwilling to say anything, he didn't ask further.
At this moment, almost all the guests in the banquet hall downstairs looked towards the door as if someone important had arrived.
Min Xiangbei and Min Ting also looked over.
A young woman walked in. She was wearing a fiery red dress and had a beautiful face. Her every action was charming and seductive.
Many of the male guests present were stunned.
Other than being very eye-catching the moment she appeared, everyone was paying so much attention to her because of her relationship with Min Rufeng, who was very likely to be the next head of the Min Family.
It was possible that she was the future mistress of the Min Family. However, because of her background, many people were discussing whether she would be able to enter the Min Family in the future.
Many of the guests who came to the Min Family today were here to watch the show.
They were watching the Min Family's infighting and also the romantic drama of Second Young Master Min and the glamorous lady boss of the bar.
"That's Feng's lov…" Min Xiangbei coughed dryly." That's Feng's girlfriend? "
"Dad, let's not interfere in Min Rufeng's private matters."
They were all people that they shouldn't offend. They could barely handle one or two of them alone, and now there were four of them together!
Most importantly, one of them had Young Master Qin and Young Master Huo behind her, while the other had Second Brother, whom even he was very afraid of!
Min Xiangbei looked at him deeply.
He didn't continue on with the conversation and only said, "Let's go downstairs and don't keep hiding here. Although the birthday party is just a pretense, it's still my birthday party."
As Min Xiangbei spoke, he turned around and went downstairs. Min Ting suddenly said, "Dad."
Min Xiangbei turned around and frowned slightly when he saw him being shy. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act like a little wife."
"…" Min Ting.
Alright, the emotions that he had tried so hard to build up were all smashed.
However, he still had to say what he needed to say.
Min Ting took a deep breath and looked at Min Xiangbei. "Happy birthday to you."
It was obvious that usually the father and son would not say such mushy words when they interacted. It made Min Xiangbei stunned.
Taking advantage of his daze, Min Ting said, "Actually, you can still celebrate your birthday appropriately every year. Even if you don't organize such a big banquet like today, you can still invite a few close friends for a meal and drinks to celebrate."
"My mother has been gone for more than 20 years. If you want to find a companion…"
"Ting'er," Min Xiangbei interrupted.
"Let's go downstairs."
He was changing the topic obviously.
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Min Ting stood alone upstairs for a long time before sighing and going downstairs.
Xi Fengling's appearance caused quite a commotion, but that was quickly forgotten.
Because another group of people came shortly after.
Not only Qin Chongwen, Bai Shuangshuang, Qin Bailu, but also Qin Hao, who rarely appeared.
Qin Hao showing his face at the Min Family's banquet with the Qin Family was already a big show. After all, in the capital, almost everyone knew about Qin Hao's relationship with the others in the Qin Family.
Furthermore, other than them, there was also Huo Xuan and Huo Siyu.
Huo Siyu was already considered a familiar face in the capital's upper-class society. She had been in the capital for a year after all.
Only Huo Xuan was someone whom many people didn't know.
However, many people could guess his identity from his unique aura as well as him arriving together with Huo Siyu.
Those who had guessed his identity marveled. The Min Family's banquet was indeed grand. Even the head of the Huo Family in South City was invited.
At that moment, Min Sisi was already in the banquet hall. Meng An was enthusiastically introducing some ladies who rarely appeared to her.
Min Sisi was very distracted when she interacted with them.
"Sisi, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look listless? Are you feeling unwell?" Meng An asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
"Mom, I already know all those ladies whom I'm supposed to know in the capital. There's no need for you to introduce me to these people."
Seeing that she had said what was on her mind, Meng An hurriedly put her hand to her lips and made a "shh" gesture. She lowered her voice. "Of course, I know that these people's statuses aren't considered high in the capital, but things are different now. The limelight on your father and brother has been snatched away by that illegitimate son. What we need to do now is to try our best to build a good relationship with these people. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. They might be able to help us at any time."
Min Sisi's attitude was cold.
Meng An thought that she was unhappy and hurriedly comforted her. "Alright, since you don't like them, Mom won't bring you to get to know them. Speaking of which, you're the legitimate daughter of the Min Family. Their identities are indeed not qualified for me to specially introduce you to them."
Right then, the Qin Family and the Huo Family siblings arrived.
Meng An looked at Bai Shuangshuang—who was walking beside Qin Chongwen and was also wearing a fiery red gown—and sneered, "Look at Bai Shuangshuang's coquettish appearance. Does she really think that she's still in her twenties? How uncouth!"
"Just now, I still felt that the bar's lady boss was not presentable. Now that I compare her to Bai Shuangshuang, she's so much better. Look at how Bai Shuangshuang's face is already dark. She probably didn't expect others to criticize her clothes."
"Her limelight has been overshadowed. She deserves it! Let's see how she could seduce another man!"
"You go alone first. I'll go look for your father so he doesn't get seduced by that vixen again!"
"I know, I know. Mom, go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Don't worry about me." Since they were destined to fall out, Min Sisi handled it very perfunctorily.
After Meng An left, Min Sisi saw Xi Fengling and was prepared to go over to greet her. After all, she wanted to cooperate with Min Rufeng, so she naturally had to show her face to gain some favor.
At this moment, Min Rufeng had already walked to Xi Fengling's side.
However, just as Min Sisi was about to walk over, she heard a commotion.
People were whispering.
"Master Nine is here!"
"And Master Nine's rumored fiancée!"
"Yes, I'm really curious about what kind of girl could make Master Nine so concerned about her!"
The voices were really soft. Even the banquet hall was quieter than before.
Everyone looked at the door.
