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?”
