An hour later, in front of the Fengting Restaurant, the vehicles of the An family were neatly arranged.
An Rou walked out alone from one of the cars, her face cold, clearly in a sulk. She muttered to herself, clearly displeased.
“Let Su Jiang come, fine, but whispering in a car and not letting me hear…”
As they left the An family, An Mingjie arranged for himself and Su Jiang to ride in the same car, while An Rou was to ride with Li Cai, with no room for objections.
During the journey, Li Cai was truly tormented.
Facing the angry An Rou, he had to nod frequently in agreement, even joining in her complaints and criticisms of An Mingjie and Su Jiang.
An Rou’s constant nagging was like a never-ending drizzle, giving Li Cai a headache.
Meanwhile, the door of another car opened slowly, and Su Jiang and An Mingjie stepped out one after the other.
Su Jiang nodded to An Mingjie and then walked straight towards An Rou.
“What’s wrong? Who made you angry with that stern face?” Su Jiang teased lightly, gently pinching An Rou’s cheek.
“Smack!” An Rou slapped away Su Jiang’s hand, her eyes showing a hint of fierceness. “What were you whispering to my brother in the car? Is there something I, as his little sister, can’t hear?”
Su Jiang smiled slightly, responding casually, “Nothing much, just to protect you.”
“I don’t believe you!” An Rou snorted and unexpectedly stepped on Su Jiang’s foot.
However, this time Su Jiang was prepared and skillfully avoided An Rou’s attack.
“We should go,” Li Cai noticed An Mingjie’s signal and said to Su Jiang and An Rou.
Taking the opportunity, An Rou twisted Su Jiang’s waist harshly and left with a remark, “I’ll settle the score with you next time!” then walked ahead in a huff.
At this moment, An Mingjie, dressed in a black coat, exuded a stern and dignified aura, a stark contrast to his warm demeanor at the An family.
Undoubtedly, he now appeared as a calm and profound leader, emanating an undeniable presence.
Behind him, over a dozen members of the An family stood in formation, their eyes fixed on An Mingjie’s figure.
An Mingjie scanned the surroundings sharply and spoke in a deep voice, “I entrust today’s affairs to all of you.”
“Young Master An, you’re too kind!” the group responded in unison, showing their respect for An Mingjie.
“Let’s go,” An Mingjie said briefly, leading the group into the Fengting Restaurant.
At the back, beside An Rou, Su Jiang gazed sharply at An Mingjie’s back, recalling the plan An Mingjie mentioned in the car.
He knew the show was about to begin.
Today, the An family would shake things up, even overturning the entire Jiangdu City!
…
In the Fengting Restaurant, on the top floor banquet hall, the elegant atmosphere was illuminated by the lights.
Members of the Feng and Lin families had arrived, dressed in matching black suits, exuding a sense of solemnity.
However, the most eye-catching were the unique family emblems on their left chests, shining with the radiance of their respective families, silently distinguishing the guests.
In addition, some clever smaller families had also received some information and sent representatives to join in the fun.
Many tables were adorned with desserts and delicacies, but few indulged, holding high-stemmed glasses and engaging in lively conversations.
Lin Hui stood quietly in a corner, gently swaying the glass of red wine in his hand, his gaze wandering through the crowd, a casual smile on his face.
Beside him stood a new bodyguard, seemingly stronger than Scar.
“If Feng Chengye doesn’t show up, that old man, it’s fine, after all, he’s old and wants to save face.
“Son.”
“Why isn’t Feng Haoxuan, that useless guy, here?”
Feng Haoxuan is the son of Feng Chengye, the head of the Feng family and the next leader of the younger generation of the Feng family.
Originally, the Feng family should have been led by Feng Haoxuan now.
However, due to Feng Haoxuan’s inability to match Lin Hui and An Mingjie, and being tightly controlled, Feng Chengye had no choice but to continue leading the Feng family.
“Lin Hui!”
Upon hearing someone call his name, Lin Hui turned to see a man of similar age, dressed distinctively, frowning disapprovingly at him.
“Oh, speak of the devil, and he shall appear,” Lin Hui smirked mischievously.
The man was none other than Feng Haoxuan, as mentioned by Lin Hui.
Feng Haoxuan walked up to Lin Hui, looking displeased. “Lin Hui, today is a gathering of my Feng family. What is your Lin family doing here?”
Lin Hui rolled his eyes at the foolish question, showing no interest in answering.
“Where’s your old man? And those families in the gray area, when are they going to show up? I’m getting impatient,” Lin Hui asked directly. His main purpose in coming today was to see what the rumored families in the gray area were doing in Jiangdu City.
Intentionally leaking the information to attract the Lin and An families, what was the purpose behind it?
“What?” Feng Haoxuan’s pupils contracted upon hearing this, whispering, “How do you know about the gray area? Who told you?”
After speaking, Feng Haoxuan looked around warily to see if anyone had overheard what Lin Hui had just said.
Lin Hui rolled his eyes, finding it tiresome to talk to this idiot. Did he think so many people came for his Feng family?
It was more interesting to compete with An Mingjie. Their rivalry was the real challenge.
“Clack, clack, clack!”
Before Feng Haoxuan could continue questioning, footsteps suddenly sounded, catching everyone’s attention.
An Mingjie, leading the An family, calmly entered the banquet hall.
“Wow, the An family is here too. Tonight, the three major families of Jiangdu City are all present,” someone whispered.
“Today’s meeting might change the family dynamics of Jiangdu City.”
“Regardless of how the three major families clash, it doesn’t concern us small families. Let’s just watch the show.”
When Lin Hui saw An Mingjie’s figure in the banquet hall, a smug smile immediately appeared on his face.
He had successfully set a trap for An Mingjie recently, causing him a significant loss. Now was the perfect opportunity to mock him!
Just as he was about to go over to greet him, a familiar figure caught his eye. Lin Hui froze in place.
“Why is it him? Didn’t Li Cai say he’s not from the An family?” Lin Hui muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on Su Jiang, who had just entered his line of sight.
His hand involuntarily touched his cheek, as if the stinging sensation from Su Jiang’s bullet yesterday was still vivid.
The new bodyguard beside him noticed Lin Hui’s unusual behavior and curiously asked, “Leader, who are you talking about?”
Lin Hui looked towards Su Jiang and said, “The young man in the beige outfit, that’s him. He shot Scar yesterday.”
“What!” The new bodyguard looked shocked. He knew about Scar, but he never expected the person who did it to be so young.
Among the sea of black suits, Su Jiang and An Rou’s beige jackets stood out, like two peculiar flowers.
An Rou seemed a bit uneasy. Although she was the young lady of the An family, it was her first time being brought into such a situation by An Mingjie.
Su Jiang noticed her nervousness, gently patted her shoulder, then nodded to An Mingjie and led An Rou to a quieter area of the banquet hall.
