Chapter 244 - Rainy’s Thoughts
Chapter 244: Rainy’s Thoughts
Min Rufeng glanced at him and sneered, “Father, just because you can’t it doesn’t mean that others can’t either. Is it so difficult to admit that you’re inferior to others?”
“You—”
“I’m your father. Is this how you talk to me?!”
“Father has said this to me countless times, right? Why do I have to emphasize it every time? You clearly know that’s how I always talk.”
Min Guili’s face turned red.
“Actually, I know very well what Father is thinking. If I were Father, I might as well think about how to deal with the recent rumors when I would have the time to waste on these uncertain matters.”
“Of course, it might not be just rumors.”
Min Guili was furious and wanted to refute, but he was interrupted by Min Rufeng. “But regardless of whether it’s a rumor or not, what Father should do now is to think of a way to eliminate these rumors and not wait like this. Although Father is the head of the Min Family, Father isn’t the only one in the Min Family with the surname Min. Father shouldn’t wait for the collusion of the collateral branches before suppressing them.””
“After all, when Grandfather was still alive, his reputation was much higher than Father’s now.”
Min Guili wanted to point at him with a trembling hand, but he thought of something and retracted his hand.
Her eyes were filled with indignation and anger.
Glancing at the few people in the office who were looking at him unanimously, Min Guili’s anger intensified.
He originally wanted to rope in Huo Xuan. Under such circumstances, what advantage did he have?
This unfilial son was riding on his head!
Min Guili wasn’t a fool. He wouldn’t naively think that Huo Xuan didn’t know the Min Family’s current situation. In other words, Huo Xuan must have known that he and Min Rufeng were enemies.
In that case, Huo Xuan still needed to rely on Min Rufeng to treat his illness, so why would he side with him?
“Of course I can’t compare to your grandfather!”
“You don’t have to worry about my matters either. If you’re really that worried, stop playing tricks. Do you think I don’t know what you’ve done? If you continue to make a fuss, the Min Family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!”
“Will it be destroyed by me or by Father?”
“Father, do you think that the Min Family now is still the Min Family when Grandfather was still alive? I’m not afraid of hurting Father. If it wasn’t for the foundation that Grandfather had built, the Min Family would have probably been finished long ago.”
“Father also knows that Grandfather brought me back to the Min Family. In the Min Family, I have the deepest relationship with Grandfather. If those rumors are not rumors, Father, I will be the first person in the Min Family to attack you.”
Min Guili snorted angrily.
As if those rumors had nothing to do with him!
Others did not know how those rumors came about, but he knew very well!
Min Rufeng, this unfilial son. He wouldn’t have kept him back then if he had known earlier. He was simply a disaster!
So what if he had the advantage now? He still had a bigger trump card!
He could even deal with that old man, so how could he not deal with this unfilial son?
He stood up angrily. “Don’t worry, I won’t give you this chance!”
“Your grandfather died of illness. Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth!”
He looked at Huo Xuan, “Nephew Huo, since you trust Feng’er, cooperate with his treatment. Putting everything else aside, Uncle really treats you as a junior. I hope you can recover soon.”
“Of course, if Feng’er fools around, don’t fool around with him. The body isn’t his. It doesn’t matter how much he fools around, but you can’t. If Feng’er fools around, come and look for Uncle again. All these years, Uncle has seriously studied your illness and has also researched something. It might be useful to you.”
“Thank you, Director Min. Thank you for your trouble.”
Huo Xuan replied emotionlessly.
With Huo Xuan’s judgment, he had long seen through Min Guili’s thoughts. It was just that he didn’t care. After all, the other party didn’t say it explicitly.
To be honest, he really didn’t have the mood to interfere in the internal conflicts of other families.
If it were Min Rufeng, he could help him. After all, he had just said that if there was anything useful to him, he could just ask.
If it was Min Guili.
Then forget it.
There was no gain or relationship between them. What good would it do for him to help Min Guili?
“I have something on, so I’ll leave first. If Nephew Huo is going to stay in the capital for long, you’re welcome to visit the Min Family.”
Huo Xuan tilted his head and coughed a few times before saying, “Director Min, farewell.”
Although Huo Xuan’s every word was very polite, there was no hint of politeness in his tone at all.
Cold and distant, and also… a little condescending.
It was as if Huo Xuan didn’t take Min Guili seriously.
Min Guili was not stupid. At the beginning, he could still tolerate it with the thought of roping him in, but now that he saw that it was hopeless, how could he tolerate it any longer?
He endured it unwillingly because HOD Hu kept signaling him with his eyes that even if he didn’t want to be on good terms with others, it would be best if he didn’t offend them.
He strode out of the office.
HOD Hu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Min Guili had suppressed his urge.
He was considered part of the director’s faction. If the director lost his power, he would also suffer greatly. Otherwise, how could he have the courage to interfere in the matters of these big shots?
“Dr. Min, Young Master Huo, I’ll leave first too.”
When HOD Hu left, he closed the office door too.
Hence, there were only four of them in the office.
“Let’s go. Let’s find a quiet place to talk.” Min Rufeng stood up from his chair.
“It’s very quiet here. We can totally talk here. Brother Feng, don’t trouble yourself. Since you’ve seen my brother, we’ll sit and talk for a while before leaving. We don’t want Brother Feng to come back to work after you go out.”
Yan Jinyu and Min Rufeng looked at Huo Siyu at the same time.
Huo Siyu was stunned.
Was there anything wrong with what she said?
Yan Jinyu glanced at Huo Xuan, who was sitting there thinking about something, and said, “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
If she continued to stay in Feng’s office, she would definitely not be able to escape from drinking medicinal tea.
Little Rain was usually very smart, so why didn’t she react now?
Actually, she knew very well what Little Rain was thinking.
However, they had already sat in Feng’s office for so long and had achieved their goal. It was fine to leave now.
In reality, even though Huo Siyu didn’t say anything, Yan Jinyu had already guessed her plan when she suggested bringing Huo Xuan to the Imperial Capital Hospital to look for Min Rufeng.
It was simply to let the others in the Min Family see that Min Rufeng was connected to the Huo Family and make them feel that the Huo Family would help Min Rufeng.
In that case, it would be very helpful to Min Rufeng in the future.
Although Yan Jinyu’s appearance here wasn’t as influential as Huo Xuan’s, it was enough to intimidate some people.
What to do. Her backer was too strong.
Almost everyone in the Min Family who was undecided was afraid of Yin Jiujin.
Hence, rather than accompanying Huo Siyu and bringing Huo Xuan to see a doctor, Yan Jinyu had the same intention as Huo Siyu.
It was to let others know that she was on Min Rufeng’s side.
Yan Jinyu could tell what Huo Siyu was planning, so she naturally couldn’t hide it from Min Rufeng.
Min Rufeng only reacted when Huo Xuan and Huo Siyu appeared in his office.
Among them, Huo Siyu was the least considerate. Most of the time, she only needed to follow them. Hence, when Huo Siyu said that she wanted to see him at the capital’s hospital, Min Rufeng didn’t think too much about it. All he cared about was he didn’t want Huo Xuan to suspect her.
Until they arrived at his office.
Little Yu and Little Rain spoke to him openly in front of Huo Xuan. Huo Xuan wasn’t stupid. He knew it and they knew it too.
If they really wanted to avoid Huo Xuan, they shouldn’t have made it so obvious.
They didn’t even disguise themselves.
Perhaps, Huo Xuan had already guessed something, and Little Rain and even Little Yu felt that Huo Xuan was trustworthy, so they didn’t hide it.
Actually, it was true that Huo Siyu trusted Huo Xuan, but Yan Jinyu didn’t.
Yan Jinyu simply felt that since Huo Xuan already knew that she wasn’t as simple as she looked and suspected Huo Siyu, she couldn’t be bothered to hide it anymore.
As for how much Huo Xuan could tell, she didn’t care.
Moreover, Huo Xuan was someone Huo Siyu trusted and cared about. Due to her trust in Huo Siyu, Yan Jinyu actually didn’t treat Huo Xuan as an enemy.
Huo Siyu was puzzled. Yan Jinyu glanced at the water dispenser and Huo Siyu instantly understood.
She was afraid.
How could she have forgotten about that?
She did not want to experience the fear of being controlled by Brother Feng’s medicinal tea again.
“I’m still on leave. I’m only receiving one patient, which is Young Master Huo today,” Min Rufeng said.
“Then find a place. I’ll book it.”
Huo Siyu was about to take out her phone.
“Don’t trouble yourself. Let’s go to Mei Feng. Fengling has prepared a private room.”
Huo Siyu had been in the capital for almost a year. It wasn’t that Huo Siyu had never been to Mei Feng before, but every time she went there, she would either pretend to be unfamiliar with Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng, or secretly go over for a small gathering.
She had never interacted with Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng openly at Mei Feng Bar, so she was very happy to hear Min Rufeng’s suggestion.
“Alright, let’s go to Mei Feng then.”
She asked Huo Xuan, “Brother, do you want to go back and rest or follow me?”
It was only then that Huo Xuan restrained the complicated emotions in his eyes and smiled at Huo Siyu, “What nonsense are you saying? I’m the one who came to look for Second Young Master Min for treatment. I should be the host. This time, we’re going to Second Young Master Min’s girlfriend’s territory and I don’t have the chance to be the host. Wouldn’t it be even ruder if I leave first?”
Of course, these were all excuses.
If he still couldn’t be sure that Min Rufeng and Yan Jinyu meant the same as Rainy now, how could he still be the head of the Huo Family?
He just wanted to know more about Rainy’s past.
The few of them left the hospital and headed to Mei Feng Bar.
***
At the same time, in the Qin Family.
The Qin Family received a few large boxes of packages. The person who sent the packages asked Qin Chongwen and Bai Shuangshuang to open them personally.
Not following the instructions?
The few couriers had already reached into their pockets, but who knew what lethal weapons were in their pockets.
Qin Chongwen and Bai Shuangshuang each held a pair of scissors in their hands and were about to open the package.
Not to mention Bai Shuangshuang, even Qin Chongwen’s hands were trembling.
Finally, he opened a package with trembling hands, and what came was Bai Shuangshuang’s scream.
“Ah—”
She retreated and fell to the ground.
She was still in shock.
Then, she lay down and vomited.
Although Qin Chongwen was not as exaggerated as Bai Shuangshuang, he was not much better. The scissors in his hand dropped in shock, and his face was pale.
“G-gentlemen, w-what do you mean?”
