Chapter 461: Trying To Cause Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Min Rufeng was in his room in the main building of the Min Family’s mansion when the call was connected.
He was hugging Xi Fengling intimately.
Min Rufeng took over the entire Min Family and “cleansed” the entire mansion, be it staff or buildings.
They were afraid that there would be a spy among their stuff, so they investigated everyone.
He and Xi Fengling acted personally. Since they were just servants, it was easy to investigate their backgrounds. They were all sent away even if there were only some problems or uncertainties.
As for the renovation of the building, because they had seen that someone could easily escape from the Min Family on the day of the Min Family’s banquet and there were even traps set up beforehand, to prevent such a thing from happening again, the entire mansion was cleaned up.
The first place to be cleaned was the main building. The renovation was done according to Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling’s requests.
The renovation of the main building took two months. It had only been a month since Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling moved over.
Hearing the phone ring, Xi Fengling pushed Min Rufeng away. “The phone.”
However, Min Rufeng didn’t let go of her. He reached for his phone. He didn’t bother to see who was calling. He answered the call directly before his lips left Xi Fengling’s.
He propped himself up on the bed and answered the call. “Who is it?”
There was a hint of impatience in his gentle tone.
He also sounded a little low and hoa.r.s.e.
Yu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
“Second Young Master Min.”
A woman?
Hearing the voice, Xi Fengling pushed Min Rufeng away and sat up.
Min Rufeng let her push him away. After she sat up, he, too, sat beside her. He held her waist and made her lean on him forcefully.
Xi Fengling didn’t struggle.
She gestured for him to continue the call.
The two of them had very good memories, so they naturally recognized whose voice it was.
Although Xi Fengling was unhappy, she was still very curious about why Yu Chen called.
After being frightened by Beauty Yu, Yu Chen had been lying low for a long time. Why did she jump out again? Yu Chen didn’t come to the Min Family’s banquet before the new year, but she was sure that Yu Chen definitely knew what happened at the Min Family’s banquet.
Since she knew, she should know that they were not to be trifled with.
Perhaps Yu Chen knew it too, that was why she had been obedient for so long.
She had been lying low for so long, but now she suddenly called him. What gave her confidence?
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Hearing who it was, Min Rufeng became even more impatient, but he didn’t hang up immediately.
He had also thought of what Xi Fengling had thought of.
He had to see what gave Yu Chen the confidence to show her face after keeping a low profile for so long.
It was a troubled time now, so it was not wrong to pay more attention. Who knew if it could be another person related to Liu Guang?
“I wonder if Second Young Master Min is free tomorrow. I would like to meet Second Young Master Min.”
“I don’t have time. If you have something to say, just say it. If not…” just hang up.
“Wait!” Afraid that he would hang up, Yu Chen quickly interrupted.
Of course, she didn’t want to let it go just like that.
“In Second Young Master Min’s eyes, what kind of existence is our Yu Family?”
As he spoke, Min Rufeng turned on the speaker and Xi Fengling could hear what Yu Chen was saying.
She looked at Min Rufeng in confusion. What was going on?
“Miss Yu, if you have something to say, just say it.” Min Rufeng’s tone was neither fast nor slow, making Yu Chen unable to grasp his att.i.tude.
“Yes, the Yu Family can’t compare to the Min Family. The Yu Family is indeed not considered a top family in the capital, but that was in the past.”
“My grandfather has recently gotten to know some formidable figures. Perhaps, our Yu Family’s status in the capital will quickly rise to a higher level.”
The two of them fell silent.
They raised their eyebrows slightly.
This was interesting.
Of course, Yu Chen didn’t know their reaction.
Seeing that Min Rufeng was silent, Yu Chen thought that he was frightened by her words and said enthusiastically, “I won’t beat around the bush either. I like Second Young Master Min and have the intention to marry into the Min Family. If Second Young Master Min gives up on that bar owner and chooses me, the Yu Family will be a help to the Min Family. With the Yu Family and the Min Family’s alliance through marriage, the Min Family’s status will surpa.s.s the other two families and it’s only a matter of time before the two families become the top families in the capital.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t have dared to say this in the past. It’s different now. Our Yu Family has made friends with someone with an extraordinary status. The Yu Family will quickly be different from before.”
Yu Chen naturally didn’t come to this conclusion just because she had investigated that courtyard a few times.
There was once when she accidentally overheard her father and grandfather’s conversation. They said that if they helped a certain “Sir” succeed, the Yu Family would receive that Sir’s help and become one of the top families in the capital. They might even become the number one family in the capital.
She didn’t understand it at that time. She only realized it when she saw the mysterious guest at home recently.
“Second Young Master Min, what do you think of my suggestion? I really care about you as much as Xi Fengling, and Xi Fengling can’t give you what I can.”
“…” Xi Fengling. How much did she drink? She was so drunk.
Xi Fengling wasn’t jealous. She suddenly felt that being jealous of Yu Chen was lowering her style.
Even if the Yu Family really made friends with someone, if Old Master Yu didn’t leak anything, it meant that she couldn’t tell anyone. However, Yu Chen still said it out.
She really didn’t know how to describe Yu Chen.
She heard that she had been an outstanding and smart person since she was young. Back then, the eldest son of the Min Family had even pursued her for many years…
Forgive her for not understanding Yu Chen’s intelligence.
She didn’t say anything and gestured for Min Rufeng to probe.
“The Yu Family has made friends with someone with an extraordinary ident.i.ty? Why haven’t I heard of it? I’m the head of the Min Family now. There’s really very little information in the capital that I don’t know.”
When Yu Chen heard this, she thought that he was tempted. Without thinking, she struck while the iron was hot, “Of course you haven’t heard of it. The esteemed guest lives in my house. Other than the master, no one in the Yu Family knows about this. Grandfather ordered that it can’t be spread, so you naturally won’t know either.”
“Have you seen your family’s esteemed guests?”
Yu Chen was taken aback. “…I’ve never seen them before. How can esteemed guests be so easy to meet? Only my father and my grandfather have seen them. Even I can’t enter the esteemed guests’ courtyard.”
“Since you can’t go in, how did you know that they’re important guests? Did your family tell you?” Min Rufeng didn’t think that the Yu Family would tell Yu Chen if it was Liu Guang and his people.
With Yu Chen’s intelligence, telling her a secret would definitely ruin things.
Like now.
“It wasn’t my family who told me. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with saying that it was my family who told me. I overheard my father and grandfather’s conversation and guessed it when I saw the guest in the courtyard.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such an elegant young master with such an outstanding temperament. There are two very skilled people guarding the courtyard. They’re definitely not ordinary people.”
“Elegant?” Min Rufeng said and exchanged a look with Xi Fengling.
Obviously, they all thought of the same thing.
The first man they thought of, who could be described as “elegant”, was Feng Yun.
“Yes, to be honest, I’ve never seen such a special man in my life. I didn’t change my mind when I saw such a man and I only like Second Young Master Min. It’s obvious that I’m sincere to Second Young Master Min…”
“…” Min Rufeng. Why did this sound like he was much worse than Feng Yun?
Of course, the premise was that the person Yu Chen was talking about was Feng Yun.
Xi Fengling looked at Min Rufeng strangely.
Her gaze seemed to be saying, You’re quite charming.
Her gaze…
In order to prevent her from being jealous, Min Rufeng turned his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently.
Xi Fengling didn’t really mind. She could still differentiate the seriousness of the matter when it came to serious business.
She gestured for him to ask again.
“What does the guest you saw look like? Or rather, how is he dressed?”
Yu Chen didn’t understand why he asked this. She was happy when she suddenly thought of something.
Indeed, everyone cared about benefits.
Wasn’t Min Rufeng interested now? Otherwise, with Min Rufeng’s personality of ignoring her in the past, he wouldn’t have said so much to her.
“Of course he’s good-looking. His temperament is also top-notch. Otherwise, how could I give him such a high appraisal? As for his attire, he’s wearing a long white robe. He doesn’t look like someone from this era. He looks like a wealthy young master from a big family in the last century.”
They were basically certain that it was Feng Yun.
So Feng Yun was in the Yu Family?
Didn’t that mean that Liu Guang and the others were also in the Yu Family?
“Are those guests still in the Yu Family?”
“Of course. Grandfather said that they will stay in the Yu Family for a long time and asked us not to disturb them. Second Young Master Min, what do you think of my suggestion? Marrying me and forming an alliance with the Yu Family through marriage is the best choice for you and the Min Family!”
“Then, let’s wait until your Yu Family is really ranked among the top families before mentioning this matter.” After saying that, Min Rufeng hung up.
He also blacklisted her number.
He only left the last sentence to dispel Yu Chen’s doubts.
As he hung up, Xi Fengling took out her phone and called Yan Jinyu.
Without any communication, Min Rufeng called Huo Siyu tacitly.
The two of them had already gotten out of bed as they made the calls. They opened the closet and took out lightweight night suits to change into.
Liu Guang had a hostage. They couldn’t kill him, but couldn’t they teach him a lesson and destroy one of his footholds?
Since they knew that the other party was very likely in the Yu Family, it was impossible not to cause some trouble.
