Chapter 216-217

Chapter 216: Talking About Being Thick-Skinned Xi Fengling smiled and said, “We don’t know exactly how complicated it is yet. I’ll tell you when we figure it out. If possible, I might even be able to bring you along to watch a show.” Since Xi Fengling had already said so, Yan Jinyu naturally wouldn’t ask further. Moreover, ever since Xi Fengling told her that Old Master Min’s death was very likely related to Ghost Slaughter, and thinking that Ghost Slaughter might still have someone who survived the explosion, she had expected that the Min Family’s matter wouldn’t be so easy to end. 　 　 If someone from Ghost Slaughter survived, it would not be targeted at her alone, but at the four of them. If Ghost Slaughter had long been in contact with the Min Family, how could they let go of such a helper like the Min Family under such circumstances where their strength had decreased drastically? “Meimei, pay more attention when you and Feng deal with the Min Family’s trouble.” The two of them looked at her. . Yan Jinyu continued, “There’s something I didn’t tell you, but I think you should have guessed it too.” “There are still people alive,” they both said. They all sounded certain. Yan Jinyu nodded. “Mm-hm.” “Don’t worry, we’ll pay more attention. The Min Family is almost under our control now. If the other party comes into contact with the Min Family, we’ll know immediately. On the other hand, Beauty Yu, you have to be careful,” Xi Fengling said as she looked at Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin understood what she meant. He didn’t say anything and simply glanced at Xi Fengling. Xi Fengling fell silent. Alright, there was no need for her to say anything more. She felt much more at ease with Yin Jiujin by Beauty Yu’s side. Yan Jinyu saw their actions and smiled faintly. She touched the “watch” on her left wrist and said, “Don’t worry. There are many people who want to kill me, but not many can.” She was still confident about this. She could escape from the two kidnappers when she was two years old, let alone now. 　 　 Speaking of the kidnappers back then, now that she was in the capital, she could also investigate them. However, she was not in a hurry. Since the other party wanted to get rid of her, even if she did not look for them, they would come to look for her. As they spoke, the waiter brought Min Nan and Min Ting up. Among the three brothers of the Min Family, Min Rufeng was gentle, Min Ting was ostentatious, and Min Nan was… a little gloomy. In terms of looks, Min Ting’s face was more exquisite than a woman’s. Min Rufeng was second, and Min Nan… was last. The two of them were a little surprised to see that there was someone else in the living room other than Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling. When they saw who it was, they were even more surprised. No, it could no longer be described as “surprised”. It should be called shock. Not only Min Nan, but Min Ting was also very shocked. So, did he really guess that Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling knew each other? Don’t ask why he only felt that Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling had a relationship and not anything else when Yan Jinyu and Second Brother were both around. It was impossible for Second Brother to have any relationship with Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng. Even if they worked together without him knowing, their relationship definitely wasn’t so deep that Second Brother would personally visit them so early in the morning. 　 　 All these years, he had never seen Second Brother specially visit anyone. It was always others who thought of ways to meet Second Brother. Min Ting was already shocked, let alone Min Nan. The eldest son of the Min Family had naturally met Yin Jiujin before. Not to mention that Yin Jiujin had caused such a huge commotion recently, Min Nan had been very afraid of Yin Jiujin since he was young. As for the reason, it was because Min Nan had seen Yin Jiujin killing someone on the streets when he and Min Qinglan were doing their new year shopping then. It was not too accurate to say that he was young. Min Nan was already twelve years old then. From then on, Min Nan was very afraid of Yin Jiujin. Upon seeing Yin Jiujin, he stopped in his tracks. His urge of wanting to rush in and question Min Rufeng was gone. “Master… Second Young Master Yin is also here?” He wanted to call him Master Nine, but he suddenly remembered that the Min Family and the Yin Family had equal status in the capital. He was also the heir of the Min Family. If he called the Second Young Master of the Yin Family as Master Nine, wouldn’t that be lowering his status? Hence, he braced himself and called him “Second Young Master Yin.” Yin Jiujin glanced at him indifferently without any intention of paying attention to him. Min Nan’s expression was very ugly in front of his competitor, Min Rufeng. 　 　 He always felt that Min Rufeng was looking at him as a joke. However, the truth was that Min Rufeng usually looked so smiley like that. However, Xi Fengling chuckled. It was mocking. It was blatant. “I wonder what the two young masters of the Min Family are coming here to my territory in such a hurry? Seeing that you guys are so imposing, could it be that you’re trying to thrash my place?” “Boss Xi, don’t misunderstand. I’m a regular at Mei Feng Bar after all. How could I come to cause trouble? I heard that my Second Brother is here, so I came to discuss something with him.” The Second Brother he was referring to was not Min Rufeng, but Yin Jiujin. Everyone knew that. They were clearly cousins but one addressed Yin Jiujin as Second Young Master and the other addressed Second Brother. Min Nan’s expression darkened even more. Due to his fear of Yin Jiujin, he had almost forgotten that Yin Jiujin’s mother was his nominal aunt. Of course, they didn’t believe Min Ting. Other than them, no one else knew that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin had come here. Min Ting also knew that they wouldn’t believe him. It did not matter if they did not believe it. It was fine as long as Min Nan believed it. They were just putting on a show for Min Nan to see so that he would not know that they had already cooperated. “As for why Eldest Cousin is here, I have no idea.” Min glared at him. He had no idea? Didn’t he know that he was coming to find Min Rufeng to question him? Min Rufeng had been fooling around with Xi Fengling all day and rarely returned to the Min Family. He had also taken two days off and didn’t go to the hospital, so he specially rushed over early in the morning to look for them. Why didn’t he come at night? There were many customers at Mei Feng Bar at night, and most of them were friends with Xi Fengling. If he rushed over to look for Xi Fengling’s man at night, wouldn’t he be surrounded and attacked by them? He wasn’t that stupid! Min Rufeng only had this much ability. He had to rely on a woman! “I’m here to look for Min Rufeng.” He looked at Min Rufeng. “Can we talk in private?” “You shouldn’t be asking me that.” Min Rufeng glanced at Xi Fengling, who was sitting seductively, and said to Min Nan with a smile, “You should be asking Fengling. I’m her kept man. I’ll listen to her in her territory.” He sounded so confident. It was as if he didn’t find it embarrassing to be kept by a woman. Min Ting’s lips twitched. After interacting with him for this period of time, he thought that he already knew Min Rufeng well enough. He didn’t expect that he still didn’t know him well enough. 　 　 Even he, a well-known playboy in the capital, felt inferior to him. “Min Rufeng, you’re the Second Young Master of the Min Family. It’s fine if you let a woman take care of you, but you’re actually proud of that instead of being ashamed. What do you take the Min Family’s face for?” The key was that she was even such a beautiful and seductive woman! He didn’t know what Xi Fengling liked about Min Rufeng. Min Nan was furious. He had even forgotten that there was Yin Jiujin here whom he couldn’t afford to offend. Of course, he wasn’t angry that Min Rufeng was a freeloader, but that he was actually angry that Min Rufeng, who relied on a woman, had threatened his position as the heir of the Min Family. “Brother, what are you so excited about? Haven’t I been kept by Fengling for three years? Who in the capital doesn’t know that? What’s the point of saying this now?” “You…!” “Brother, you don’t have to say anything. If you have anything to say to me, ask Fengling first. If Fengling agrees, I’ll go out with you. If Fengling doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do. I took leave for the past two days to fulfill my obligations to serve her.” Xi Fengling’s lips twitched. Serve her? No one knew who was serving whom! Meeting Xi Fengling’s disapproving gaze, Min Rufeng smiled. This smile was very aggressive. However, it quickly disappeared, and only Xi Fengling saw it. She instinctively trembled. Every time Min Rufeng smiled at her like that, he would “torture” her later. She quickly looked away at Min Nan. She was still very imposing to others. She smiled seductively, “Logically speaking, I should give you face since Eldest Young Master Min personally came to visit. However, I had guests today, and Eldest Young Master Min saw it too. If my guests see Eldest Young Master Min charge into my territory and ask for a person and I simply allow you to do that, where will I put my face in the future?” “So, Eldest Young Master Min, just go back to where you came from. If you want to talk to Min Rufeng about something, wait for him to walk out of my territory.” Min Nan was still a little afraid of Xi Fengling. He had once caused trouble for Min Rufeng and was beaten up by a group of people sent by Xi Fengling. He was hospitalized for three months and it was still fresh in his mind. Of course, he had thought of destroying Xi Fengling later, but no matter what he did, Xi Fengling easily resolved it. This made him even more uncertain about Xi Fengling’s background. From then on, he no longer dared to openly find trouble with Min Rufeng. He would only say a few nasty words even if he occasionally tried to find trouble. Because he had once seen some rich kids in the capital mocking Min Rufeng, after Xi Fengling found out, she got a group of people to beat up those rich kids and they ended up in the hospital. Ever since then, Xi Fengling’s cruelty had seeped into his heart. “Boss Xi, you’re so protective of Min Rufeng because he’s the man you’re keeping. What if he’s hooking up with another woman behind your back? Will you still be so protective of him?” Xi Fengling raised her eyebrows and smiled even more charmingly, “Oh? There’s such a thing?” Without waiting for Min Nan to reply, Xi Fengling said, “There’s actually a woman who can snatch my man from me, a woman who has looks, figure, money, power, and influence? This makes me very curious. I wonder what kind of woman is more charming than me?” Min Nan’s expression froze. Why was Xi Fengling’s reaction different from what he had expected? Even if this kind of strong woman didn’t really care about Min Rufeng, shouldn’t she dislike others coveting the person who belonged to her? Moreover, did Xi Fengling not hear him? He was saying that Min Rufeng was seducing another woman! Not another woman seducing Min Rufeng! This was no longer a matter of Min Rufeng’s charm. It was about Min Rufeng preferring a new woman and wasn’t loyal to her. Didn’t she care about that? “Eldest Young Master Min, why don’t you tell me in detail so that I can meet that woman who’s even more charming than me?” *** Chapter 217: Jinyu Is Angry 　 Min Nan was not stupid after all. From Xi Fengling’s words, he could tell that she did not believe him at all. “Boss Xi, you don’t trust me?” “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just curious what kind of woman is actually more charming than me.” The smile on her face faded slightly, “On the other hand, if Eldest Young Master Min didn’t say anything, could it be that you’re playing with me? Actually, there’s no such person at all?” After she retracted her smile, she exuded a cold aura that shocked Min Nan. He knew Xi Fengling’s methods very well. Back then, Xi Fengling didn’t hold back at all when she got those people to beat him up. She wanted to beat him to death. He was afraid that if Xi Fengling was unhappy, she would find someone to beat him up again. 　 　 After all, this was Xi Fengling’s territory and he was alone. “Of course!” “Boss Xi should have heard of that person too. She’s the eldest daughter of the Yu Family and my university classmate. She’s currently working in the Imperial Capital Hospital and is a famous beautiful doctor in the hospital. She has many suitors. To be honest with you, Boss Xi, I’m also one of her many suitors. I’ve pursued her for many years.” He had not failed to win over a woman’s heart after pursuing her for many years, but Min Nan actually dared to disregard his status and admit that. Min Nan was actually quite respectable for this. “She has already wavered in my pursuit. If nothing goes wrong, she will be my wife in the future.” As he spoke, he glared at Min Rufeng with an unfriendly gaze. “However, Min Rufeng interfered at this moment!” “Min Rufeng can coax Boss Xi to devote to him wholeheartedly, so it’s obvious that he’s usually very good at sweet-talking. Yu Chen, who was about to agree to my request, was bewitched by his sweet-talking.” “I came here to warn Min Rufeng not to covet what doesn’t belong to him. Otherwise, the Min Family won’t tolerate him anymore!” “As for how Boss Xi wants to see this, it’s all up to Boss Xi.” “I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Boss Xi, you can choose to believe me or not!” At this moment, Min Rufeng spoke and looked at Min Nan with a smile in his eyes, “The Min Family can’t tolerate me? Did Eldest Brother say this, or did someone else in the Min Family say it?” 　 　 “Brother, why are you lying to yourself? Outsiders don’t know what’s going on with the Min Family now, but how can I not know?” “Brother already came here in a panic to threaten me. So, does the Min Family not tolerate me or Eldest Brother?” Min Nan’s expression changed drastically. Min Ting, who had already walked over and sat down, answered at this time, “Speaking of which, I’ve heard a lot of rumors recently that there’s actually another reason for Grandfather’s death. And this reason seems to be greatly related to Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, and Eldest Cousin. I wonder if it’s true?” Min Ting’s seemingly casual question filled Min Nan with shock. However, he could still remain calm and did not show it on his face. However, the change in his expression at that moment had already given Min Ting the answer. Min Ting’s smile faded slightly. It was really them! He still had a trace of hope that his grandfather’s death wasn’t really related to them initially. After all, they were family, and he didn’t want them to fight to the death. However… Forget it. There was no need for him to be soft-hearted with such heartless people. “Ting’er, where did you hear this rumor from? Isn’t your grandfather my grandfather? How could my parents and I have harmed Grandfather? Grandfather died of illness. As for how Grandfather fell ill…” 　 　 He swept a glance at Min Rufeng and snorted coldly, “You have to ask Min Rufeng that! A 10-year-old can actually get lost! You made Grandfather fall sick!” Hearing his words, Min Rufeng’s eyes flickered. However, it was only for a moment. When he looked up again, the ripple in his eyes was no longer there. “Ask me what? Ask me how I got lost when I followed you and your mother out when I was 10 years old? Do you want me to carefully recall how I got lost back then? Or do you think I really don’t know anything about what Meng An did?” Min Nan’s expression changed. No! That was impossible! How could Min Rufeng possibly know? Back then, his mother had already arranged for those traffickers who had criminal records and it wasn’t her mother who contacted them either. Her mother only brought Min Rufeng to the place where the traffickers often appeared and left Min Rufeng there. Even if he investigated, he couldn’t connect it to his mother at all! In fact, Min Rufeng really didn’t find anything either. He was taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island. What was there to investigate? He said this to trick Min Nan, even though he had already guessed what Meng An was planning to do when he was 10 years old. At ten years old, he was already sensible. With his intelligence, he easily avoided the traffickers who had designs on him. In fact, because of his actions, the traffickers were arrested not long after. If he had not met someone from Ghost Slaughter Island, he could have returned to the Min Family successfully. 　 　 He did not expect that with this deception, he really managed to get something out of it. It could only be said that Min Nan was too weak. It was really a miracle that a big family like the Min Family could nurture an heir like Min Nan who couldn’t even hide his emotions. Compared to Min Nan, who had a good reputation, the playboy in everyone’s eyes, Min Ting, was more like the heir of a big family. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” “It doesn’t matter if you understand or not. It’s fine as long as I understand. You just have to remember that the truth always comes out. Sooner or later, what you’ve done will be exposed to the world.” “Also, don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do. I don’t like the woman whom you’ve been pursuing with no results.” “To be honest, I’m very curious where you got the confidence to say those words. Anyone can find out if I’ve hooked up with another woman after investigating, but why are you so sure that Fengling will believe me? Could it be that you think Fengling is so innocent and gullible?” Xi Fengling glared at him. Did he mean that she was very scheming!? Min Rufeng gave her a comforting and helpless smile and continued, “Or is it that my taste is really so bad that I can’t tell who’s more outstanding between the eldest daughter of the Yu Family and Fengling?” “In Fengling’s words, she has looks, figure, and power. Why should I choose a woman who can’t compare to Fengling other than her medical skills?” Min Nan blushed because he realized that Min Rufeng was telling the truth. He tried to say something to make his words more convincing, but Min Rufeng didn’t give him a chance. “Could it be that I’ve taken a fancy to that woman’s medical skills? In terms of medical skills, I don’t think anyone can surpass me.” “Min Rufeng, don’t talk to me about this! You like Yu Chen because she’s from a famous family. She’s a legitimate daughter of a famous family. You can marry her in the future, but Xi Feng… Boss Xi…” “What about me?” Xi Fengling crossed her legs and supported her chin with her hand on her lap. She smiled charmingly, “Am I not from a respectable family? Am I not allowed to enter a big family like the Min Family?” “Tsk, do you really think that everyone wants to enter the Min Family?” If Min Rufeng wasn’t really a member of the Min Family, who would care to look at the Min Family? Min Rufeng no longer had a smile on his face. He was obviously angry. Xi Fengling said this because she was angry with Min Nan’s words and also to calm Min Rufeng down. They had endured for so long. If Min Rufeng couldn’t hold it in and attacked at the last moment, their previous patience would be wasted. Min Rufeng still wanted Old Master Min’s cause of death to be exposed in front of others so it was still useful to keep Min Nan around. 　 　 “I’m not talking about Boss Xi. I’m just revealing Min Rufeng’s intentions.” “Boss Xi, I’m not afraid of hurting you. No matter how capable you are, you don’t have the right to marry into the Min Family, even if Min Rufeng is just an illegitimate…” The last sentence was stuck in his throat. This was because when Yan Jinyu—who had been silent all this while— heard this, she casually picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table and threw it over. It flew past Min Nan’s ear and left a bloody mark on it. The fruit knife sank deep into the wooden door behind him! Min Nan was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees. Yan Jinyu patted the corner of her shirt and stood up calmly. Her cold gaze landed on Min Nan. Min Nan’s limbs turned cold. H-how was that possible? It was just a look! This was clearly a 17 or 18-year-old girl. Ever since he stepped into this room, other than thinking that she was beautiful and pure, he had not paid much attention to her. It was mainly because she was sitting beside Yin Jiujin. He thought that this should be the hillbilly daughter from the Yan Family in North City who had led a wandering life for many years. He did not take it to heart at all! However, was this the gaze of a hillbilly? It was so cold and frightening! There was also a strong killing intent! It was as if killing him was nothing to her! And her skills… He was about 10 meters away from her and she wasn’t looking in his direction. She simply picked up the fruit knife and threw it casually. Was her technique really that precise or was it a coincidence? If it was a coincidence, how could it be explained that the knife plunged into the wooden door so deeply when they were so far away? Yan Jinyu walked over slowly and looked down at him, “What did you want to say just now?” “Illegitimate child? Tsk.” “Do you want me to remind you how Min Guili coveted Feng’s mother’s beauty back then and hid his identity and marital status to deceive Feng’s mother?” “Oh, you weren’t born then, so you naturally didn’t know. Why don’t you go home and ask Min Guili? Or you can ask Meng An. Meng An knows about it too.” Min Nan was shocked. Not only was he shocked by the fear that he had for Yan Jinyu, but he was also shocked by Yan Jinyu’s words, “Y-you…” “How did I find out?” Yan Jinyu sneered, “Isn’t it easy to investigate these few things?” The Min Family’s status in the capital seemed to be on par with the Yin Family, but in reality, it was completely incomparable. She couldn’t find out much about the Yin Family, but it was very easy to find out about the Min Family. “Only Feng and Meimei will wait so long. If it were me, I would have finished you off long ago. Why did they still allow you to come here and talk sh*t?” “Don’t curse,” Yin Jiujin and Min Rufeng said at the same time. Then, the two of them looked at each other. Yan Jinyu looked at them but didn’t care. She especially ignored Min Rufeng. It was fine if he did not get rid of Min Nan right away, but he actually allowed others to come in and say such nonsense. Min Nan dared to come knocking on their door now when the Min Family’s situation was already like this. So, what about before? Wasn’t Feng badly bullied by the Min Family? How embarrassing! Min Rufeng stopped talking when she glared at him. In the past three years, in order to patiently investigate the cause of his grandfather’s death, the Min Family had indeed bullied him a lot. And for the sake of the overall situation, he had endured all of it. Fengling couldn’t stand it and reacted on his behalf many times. “Does such a person really think that he’s someone important? How dare he come here to bully us?” “What can the death of a young master in the Min Family do to us? Even if it could affect us, that was the Min Family in the past. Do we still need to care about the current Min Family so much?” Her cold gaze swept across the pale Min Nan. “If you’re unhappy, just kill him.” Hence, with a casual wave of her left hand, the fruit knife that had sunk into the door frame went back into her hand! It was so fast that Min Nan, who was closest to her, couldn’t see what was going on! “M-Magic?!”
