Chapter 285 - Holding It Back
She looked over and saw Xi Fengling walking over seductively with Min Rufeng.
Both of them were holding a gla.s.s of champagne. They must have been chatting with the guests earlier.
"If Second Miss Qin simply left quietly, we might have forgotten about you. Why did you have to make your presence known at the last moment?"
Xi Fengling smiled charmingly. "Could it be that in Second Miss Qin"s opinion, we"re the kind of people who don"t eradicate threats completely and leave behind hidden dangers for ourselves?"
Qin Bailu paled.
"Beauty Yu couldn"t be bothered with you because in her opinion, you"re no threat to her. She couldn"t be bothered to waste her time dealing with you either."
"However, Beauty Yu can"t be bothered to deal with it, but that doesn"t mean that we can"t be bothered either. Now that the Min Family"s matter has come to an end, we have plenty of time. We were just worried that we couldn"t find any fun when you came knocking on our door."
"Although you can"t be a threat if we let you go just like this, it"s a pity that we"re all very vengeful. You once hired killers to kill Beauty Yu in North City and in the Empire Mall a few days ago. We can"t just let it go."
Qin Bailu didn"t know where Xi Fengling had hidden her dagger, but she had seen her ruthlessness with her own eyes. She was still a little afraid of her now.
She instinctively retreated. "W-What are you doing?"
"Didn"t we agree that you wouldn"t pursue what I"ve done if I tell the truth? Do you want to go back on your word?"
"Agree?" Xi Fengling sneered, "Second Miss Qin, think carefully. Have we promised you anything?"
"Oh, we promised. We promised to give you a chance to vent your anger. If I remember correctly, this seems to be a collaboration that Second Miss Qin went to Mei Feng to discuss with Min Rufeng and me."
"At that time, we thought that whatever you wanted to do would also be beneficial to us, so we prepared a birthday party in the name of Min Rufeng"s Second Uncle"s birthday to give you a chance. Other than that, we didn"t guarantee anything else."
"Second Miss Qin, don"t forget things so easily." Xi Fengling stood still with an enchanting posture. Even her eyes were seductive.
This made the person facing her feel a strong sense of oppression.
Qin Bailu"s palms turned cold.
"Even so, aren"t we in a cooperative relations.h.i.+p? You can"t kick me to the curb after I"ve outlived my usefulness!"
"Of course not. We just want to take revenge." Min Rufeng smiled gently.
"That"s right. It"s just revenge. Second Miss Qin, you don"t have to be nervous. We won"t take your life. We"ll just send you overseas and never have the chance to appear in front of us again."
Qin Bailu didn"t believe them. "You"re just going to send me overseas?"
"Of course. I heard that Second Miss Qin used to have a good relations.h.i.+p with the eldest daughter of the Qiu Family. I"ll send you to the same place as her so that you can be her companion."
"W-What is that place? What country?" Qin Bailu looked at Min Rufeng and asked.
"Second Miss Qin will naturally know when you get there." It was still the same sentence. Little Yu couldn"t be bothered, but that didn"t mean that he could tolerate someone who had tried to harm Little Yu.
In this world, there were many places where one would wish that they were dead.
Qin Bailu had a hunch that it wouldn"t be a good place. Just as she was about to object, Min Rufeng interrupted her with a gentle smile, "Second Miss Qin, you"ve got to think it through. It"s not enough for you to die 100 times for the mistakes you"ve committed. It"s unknown if you can survive after falling into Second Young Master Yin"s hands. Now, I"m giving you a choice. Do you want to stay in the country and wait for Second Young Master Yin to invite you to the Mount West Villa as a guest, or do you want us to send you overseas?"
At this moment, Min Sisi"s voice sounded, "Second Brother."
Min Rufeng looked up. "Why? Do you want to poke your nose into other people"s business?"
"No, I"m here to take the two paternity test reports that Grandfather left for me for Second Brother to take a look at. Didn"t we agree previously that Second Brother would keep my status as the eldest daughter of the Min Family unchanged with the evidence that I gave Second Brother? Second Brother wouldn"t have forgotten, right?"
"Of course, I didn"t." He reached out his hand.
Min Sisi handed the paternity test reports to him.
Min Rufeng took the two paternity test reports. He only scanned two places.
Father and son relations.h.i.+p, father and daughter relations.h.i.+p.
The names on the report were Min Heng, Min Sisi, and Min Quan.
Min Heng, Old Master Min.
Then, this Min Quan should be the illegitimate son of the Old Master that Min Sisi mentioned.
Whether it was true or fake, it could not deny the fact that Min Sisi was not simple.
Especially since Hei Yao had specially mentioned that person and the Min Family. Perhaps, that person was related to the Min Family… or rather, to Min Sisi or Min Quan.
Min Sisi had to be kept for now.
They were fis.h.i.+ng for the big fish.
Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling looked at each other in tacit understanding. They obviously thought of the same thing.
He handed the paternity test report back. "It"s fine as long as I"ve seen it. Take care of it yourself. Since it"s a collaboration and we agreed on it beforehand, I"ll naturally accede to our agreement."
"However, I"m the one in charge of the Min Family after all. I want to move to the main building. It"s not convenient for you to stay in the main building. Choose a building and move there. I"ll get someone to renovate the main building in two days."
Min Sisi gritted her teeth. "Alright, I"ll move tomorrow!"
Moving out of the main building meant that her status in the Min Family was no longer as high as before. Even the servants would probably laugh at her!
She"ll endure it!
Sooner or later, she would return today"s humiliation to them!
She had not seen that person for a long time and could not contact him. Other than someone who had just sent her a letter, she had not heard from that person for almost three years.
It seemed like she had to think of a way to contact that person and plan again!
It was all Min Guili and Bai Shuangshuang"s fault. If they had finished off Yan Jinyu 16 years ago, there wouldn"t be so much trouble now!
Looking at Master Nine"s att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu, it seemed like it wasn"t wise to get rid of Yan Jinyu first.
Not to mention that Yan Jinyu was quite capable and Yan Jinyu had Min Rufeng and a few mysterious people with formidable skills, even Master Nine would protect Yan Jinyu!
Since killing Yan Jinyu didn"t work, they would change their strategy.
Whether she could marry into the Yin Family didn"t depend on whether the stumbling block was difficult to deal with, but Master Nine"s att.i.tude.
In the past, she didn"t dare to get close to Master Nine because he didn"t allow women to get close to him. Now that she saw Master Nine"s att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu…
Yan Jinyu wasn"t the only one who had looks.
Since Master Nine didn"t hate women, she might have a chance!
However, regardless of whether she wanted to change her strategy or not, she could not do anything for the time being. She had to wait for this storm to pa.s.s and everyone gradually forgot about this matter before she could slowly find an opportunity.
She was only 19 years old. She still had a long life ahead of her. There was no hurry!
As for now, she would endure the humiliation first.
"I won"t disturb Second Brother and Sister Xi then."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Min Rufeng turned his gaze to Qin Bailu. "What choice do you have, Second Miss Qin?" Even if Min Sisi suddenly appeared, Qin Bailu didn"t dare to take the opportunity to escape.
In front of these two skilled people, Qin Bailu knew very well that she couldn"t escape. She was also worried that if she turned around and tried to escape, she would be killed by the other party.
She stood angrily and uneasily at the side until Min Rufeng spoke again.
"Alright, I"ll go overseas!"
No matter how capable Min Rufeng was, could he still extend his hands overseas?
It was better than staying in the country and waiting for death. If she was captured by Master Nine and brought back to Mount West Villa, she would probably even die in vain. As long as she wasn"t under their noses, she had a chance to turn the situation around!
It had to be said that Qin Bailu was still too inexperienced.
Min Rufeng might not be able to extend his hand overseas, but he could always know a few places that made people unable to leave once they entered.
There were many ways to torture people there.
Calling Min Rufeng ruthless?
He was a ruthless person to begin with.
Furthermore, no matter if it was Qiu Jian or Qin Bailu, they both wanted to kill Yan Jinyu. How could Min Rufeng let someone who had once wanted to kill Yan Jinyu off so easily?
"Second Miss Qin is a smart person."
Min Rufeng waved his hand and a man dressed in the servant"s uniform came over. "Send her and Qiu Jian to the same place."
The person replied, "Yes, Sir." Then, he brought Qin Bailu away.
"W-Which place… country are you sending her to?" Qin Chongwen asked. He wanted to ask where he would send her, but he changed his question.
He had roughly guessed their ident.i.ties, but he did not have conclusive evidence.
However, there was already an 80% certainty.
"So Mr. Qin is still here." Xi Fengling smiled.
"Mr. Qin, are you trying to interfere in Second Miss Qin"s matters?" Without waiting for Qin Chongwen to reply, Xi Fengling said, "Mr. Qin is really a good person. You"ve been made a cuckold and raised someone else"s daughter for so many years. After knowing the truth, you even pity this other person"s daughter."
"Pardon me for asking, Mr. Qin should be in his sixties now, right? With such a thing happening after the new year, does Mr. Qin still hope that there will be someone who will send you off after your time on Earth?"
"If I were Mr. Qin, I wouldn"t care about the life and death of this illegitimate daughter now. Instead, I would think about how to ease my relations.h.i.+p with my biological children. You"re been glorious all your life, but you have no one to rely on now. You"re also a pitiful person."
Qin Chongwen was so angry that his face turned red. "You—"
Xi Fengling wasn"t a busybody. She just didn"t expect Qin Chongwen to interfere at a time like this. Due to Huo Siyu and Qin Hao, they still had some concerns when it came to him.
Although they might not be overly concerned, it was still troublesome.
Qin Chongwen was naturally furious when Xi Fengling said that, but he couldn"t refute her because Xi Fengling was completely poking at his wound. In addition, Qin Jianjia and Yin Yuhan were walking over.
"Second Young Master Min," Yin Yuhan said.
Min Rufeng nodded slightly. "Eldest Young Master Yin, Eldest Young Madam Yin."
"We came here to speak to Second Young Master Min on behalf of my father-in-law. My mother-in-law is a little uncomfortable so my father-in-law sent her back first. He couldn"t come over personally to say his goodbye because he left in a hurry."
So, that was why they came over. Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling thought that they were here to find out about Yan Jinyu"s background, so they looked a little defensive.
It seemed like they had no intention of asking further.
The two of them could not help but think highly of them.
It was only wise to not ask further.
"You"re welcome, Eldest Young Madam Yin."
Qin Jianjia smiled and turned to Qin Chongwen, who was staring at her with a complicated gaze. She looked like the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yin Family, dignified and graceful. "Dad."
She was polite and distant.
It was no different from greeting an unfamiliar person.
"Dad." Yin Yuhan also called out to Qin Jianjia symbolically.
In short, there was nothing wrong with their etiquette, but it made Qin Chongwen feel uncomfortable.
"Jianjia, I…"
"Dad, you don"t have to say anything. I know that Dad doesn"t feel good when such a thing happens. As a junior, it"s not good for me to nip at the elders" matters. I can only say that Dad, you should look forward instead. The road ahead is still long. Who knows when you"ll meet someone more suitable." Qin Jianjia said such words with a dignified and generous att.i.tude. It was really…
No one could blame her.
Because she didn"t seem to have any ill intentions, as if she was just stating this matter.
However, to Qin Chongwen, it was like stabbing a needle into his heart.
