Chapter 22: What about the Hongmen Banquet

After Steward Li went for a while, he came to the door of the villa again and said; "Mr. Shangguan, please come with me."

Steward Li led Shangguan Beichen into a spacious and elegant living room.

Qin Chu sat on the sofa.

"Mr. Shangguan, please take a seat." Qin Chu said.

Shangguan Beichen sat down opposite Qin Chu.

After Qin Chu sent the housekeeper to bring refreshments to Shangguan Beichen, he asked, "What is Mr. Shangguan here for?" โ€

Shangguan Beichen knew that Qin Chu didn't like to beat around the bush, and he wasn't good at beating around the bush, so he said straight to the point; "I came today just to ask Mr. Qin why he married my junior sister?"

Qin Chu looked at Shangguan Beichen with deep eyes: "Did you ask this for yourself, or did you ask it for your junior sister?" โ€

Shangguan Beichen was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there a difference?" โ€

"If you are asking for yourself, then my answer is that you have no right to know, and if you are asking for your junior sister, my answer is that she will naturally know after she marries me."

"Mr. Qin, my junior sister will not marry you." Shangguan Beichen said categorically.

Qin Chu glanced at Shangguan Beichen with interest, and said unhurriedly; "Mr. Shangguan, why don't we make a bet. Let's bet that your junior sister will marry me in three months. โ€

Shangguan Beichen's eyes showed a look of vigilance, and his volume couldn't help but increase a few points; "Mr. Qin, you want to threaten my junior sister?"

The corners of Qin Chu's mouth hooked up a smile; "Threats? That's a good idea.

Let me think about who I should use to threaten Lin Xi. โ€

Qin Chu pondered for a moment and said, "I think Mr. Shangguan is very suitable for me to use to threaten Lin Xi. โ€

Shangguan Beichen's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and he said in a deep voice; "Mr. Qin, you must have done a detailed investigation of my junior sister before. You should know that what my sister hates most is being threatened.

If you really threaten to get my junior sister to marry you, you are planting a time bomb around you. โ€

Qin Chu nodded approvingly: "Mr. Shangguan, what you said is right, so you can rest assured that I will not use this threat." โ€

After a pause, Qin Chu said with a smile: "For your sake, you are my future wife's senior brother." I kindly warn you that threats often don't work, whether in business or otherwise.

Like three years ago, I didn't win you by threat. โ€

Shangguan Beichen pursed his lips and did not speak.

Qin Chu called the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to send off the guests.

Shangguan Beichen stood up, glanced at Qin Chu deeply, and finally left without saying anything.

On Thursday night, when Lin Xi walked into the medical hall, Shangguan Beichen and the old Chinese medicine doctor named Li Ze were treating people.

Chen Ruhai, with gray hair, stood at the counter and was responsible for grabbing medicine and charging fees, and there were more than a dozen people waiting to see a doctor in the hospital.

Lin Xi changed into a white coat and also helped.

Later, several more patients came.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the patient finally left, and then Li Ze was picked up by his son. Chen Ruhai went to sleep in the room.

Only Lin Xi and Shangguan Beichen were left in the lobby of the medical hall.

Lin Xi asked, "Senior Brother Nine, how is it?" โ€

Shangguan Beichen knew that his junior sister was asking about Qin Chu's marriage to her, how did he inquire, and thought of the results of his inquiries in the past few days. He couldn't help but look ashamed and shook his head.

"Then what has Qin Chu been doing in the past few days?" Lin Xi asked casually.

"I found out that he was preparing for a movie recently, and in addition to talking about a business, meeting Yun Yang, and then some trivial things in life."

"Yun Yang? Is that the artist from Mingcheng Media Company? Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise.

Shangguan Beichen nodded.

Probably because Yun Yang is Tang Taiping's idol, plus her master is also surnamed Yun, so after hearing about Qin Chu seeing Yun Yang. Lin Xi's tone unconsciously carried a little worry: "Why did Qin Chu see Yun Yang?" โ€

Shangguan Beichen shook his head, "Senior sister, do you want me to let someone investigate Qin Chu's purpose of seeing Yun Yang?" โ€

"No need" Lin Xi paused for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, senior brother, is there a whereabouts of Master's granddaughter?" โ€

As she expected, Senior Brother Nine shook his head slowly.

"Senior sister, don't worry, Master's granddaughter will definitely find it." Shangguan Beichen comforted.

Senior Brother had said this many times, and she had nothing else to say except nodding.

"Senior sister" Shangguan Beichen showed a hesitant look.

Lin Xi's clear eyes looked at Shangguan Beichen: "Senior brother, what do you want to say?" โ€

"Do you want to tell that person about this?"

Lin Xi hurriedly said: "Don't tell." โ€

In desperation, her volume increased several degrees.

Then she slowed down and said, "I know that person's character very well, if I let that person know that Qin Chu wants to marry me." He will definitely stop it, if he can't stop it, he will definitely hide me in a place where Qin Chu can't find it.

So you can't tell him about it. โ€

"And what are you going to do?"

Lin Xi hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed with confidence and fearlessness, and he said unhurriedly: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." โ€

Although Shangguan Beichen was a little worried in his heart, he nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

After the two brothers and sisters said a few more inconsequential words, Lin Xi got up and left.

At noon the next day, when Lin Xi, Lin Han, and Tang Taiping were having lunch, five golden flowers came to Lin Xi again.

"Lin Xi, I helped you find your master's granddaughter, how are you going to thank me?" Tan Ya said with a smile.

Lin Xi suddenly stood up from the chair and asked eagerly, "Where is my master's granddaughter?" โ€

Tan Yala looked at Lin Xi with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said slowly: "If you come to my birthday party, I will tell you." โ€

After speaking, he handed a beautiful invitation card to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked at Tan Yala's face with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "How do you tell me to believe what you say?" โ€

Tan Yala said slowly, "Your master's granddaughter has a tooth-shaped mark on her arm, am I right?" โ€

Lin Xi couldn't control his excitement and asked loudly, "Where the hell is she?" โ€

"I told you if you came to my birthday party, I'd tell you." Tan Yala said, shaking the invitation card in her hand.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the invitation.

"Lin Xi, don't forget to bring gifts," Tan Yala finished speaking, and left with her four sisters.

"Xixi, are you really going to attend Tan Yala's birthday party?" Lin Han asked, his voice full of worry.

Lin Xi nodded.

"Don't go." Lin Han said with a frown.

"Why?" Lin Xi and Tang Taiping asked almost in unison.

Lin Han said with a serious expression: "I think it's very wrong for Tan Yala to let you attend her birthday party again and again.

I don't know why Tan Yala would know that you are looking for your master's granddaughter.

But I don't think she knows where your master's granddaughter is, and she just wants to deliberately lure you to her house. Xixi, this is very much like a Hongmen feast. โ€

Tang Taiping immediately said: "Xixi, what Hanhan said makes sense." โ€

Lin Xi listened to Tan Yala's words just now, and he only thought of the whereabouts of his master's granddaughter, so he was so excited that he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

However, at this moment, hearing Hanhan say this, she realized that Tan Yala might indeed deliberately lie to her just to let her go to the birthday party.

But even if there was even a glimmer of hope, she would give it a try.

Master's greatest wish before her death was to find his granddaughter, and Master was so kind to her that she had to fulfill Master's wish.

Moreover, Master's granddaughter's parents have passed away, and she may be suffering somewhere, so she has to find someone as soon as possible.

"Hanhan, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, you'll be fine." Lin Xi said in a resolute tone.

"Then I'll go with you." Lin Han said.

"I'll go too," Tang Taiping said immediately.

"No need, even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I can handle it." Lin Xi said with a disapproving smile on the corner of his mouth.
