Min Rufeng was in his room in the main building of the Min Familyâs mansion when the call was connected.
He was hugging Xi Fengling intimately.
Min Rufeng took over the entire Min Family and âcleansedâ 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 Familyâs 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 Fenglingâs 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. âThe phone.â
However, Min Rufeng didnât let go of her. He reached for his phone. He didnât bother to see who was calling. He answered the call directly before his lips left Xi Fenglingâs.
He propped himself up on the bed and answered the call. âWho is it?â
There was a hint of impatience in his gentle tone.
He also sounded a little low and hoarse.
Yu Chenâs heart skipped a beat.
âSecond Young Master Min.â
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 didnât 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 didnât come to the Min Familyâs banquet before the new year, but she was sure that Yu Chen definitely knew what happened at the Min Familyâs 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?
âIf you have something to say, just say it.â Hearing who it was, Min Rufeng became even more impatient, but he didnât 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?
âI wonder if Second Young Master Min is free tomorrow. I would like to meet Second Young Master Min.â
âI donât have time. If you have something to say, just say it. If notâ¦â?just hang up.
âWait!â Afraid that he would hang up, Yu Chen quickly interrupted.
Of course, she didnât want to let it go just like that.
âIn Second Young Master Minâs eyes, what kind of existence is our Yu Family?â
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?
âMiss Yu, if you have something to say, just say it.â Min Rufengâs tone was neither fast nor slow, making Yu Chen unable to grasp his attitude.
âYes, the Yu Family canât compare to the Min Family. The Yu Family is indeed not considered a top family in the capital, but that was in the past.â
âMy grandfather has recently gotten to know some formidable figures. Perhaps, our Yu Familyâs status in the capital will quickly rise to a higher level.â
The two of them fell silent.
They raised their eyebrows slightly.
This was interesting.
Of course, Yu Chen didnât know their reaction.
Seeing that Min Rufeng was silent, Yu Chen thought that he was frightened by her words and said enthusiastically, âI wonât 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 Familyâs alliance through marriage, the Min Familyâs status will surpass the other two families and itâs only a matter of time before the two families become the top families in the capital.â
âOf course, I wouldnât have dared to say this in the past. Itâs different now. Our Yu Family has made friends with someone with an extraordinary status. The Yu Family will quickly be different from before.â
Yu Chen naturally didnât come to this conclusion just because she had investigated that courtyard a few times.
There was once when she accidentally overheard her father and grandfatherâs conversation. They said that if they helped a certain âSirâ succeed, the Yu Family would receive that Sirâs help and become one of the top families in the capital. They might even become the number one family in the capital.
She didnât understand it at that time. She only realized it when she saw the mysterious guest at home recently.
âSecond Young Master Min, what do you think of my suggestion? I really care about you as much as Xi Fengling, and Xi Fengling canât give you what I can.â
ââ¦â Xi Fengling. How much did she drink? She was so drunk.
Xi Fengling wasnât 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 didnât leak anything, it meant that she couldnât tell anyone. However, Yu Chen still said it out.
She really didnât 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 yearsâ¦
Forgive her for not understanding Yu Chenâs intelligence.
She didnât say anything and gestured for Min Rufeng to probe.
âThe Yu Family has made friends with someone with an extraordinary identity? Why havenât I heard of it? Iâm the head of the Min Family now. Thereâs really very little information in the capital that I donât know.â
When Yu Chen heard this, she thought that he was tempted. Without thinking, she struck while the iron was hot, âOf course you havenât 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 canât be spread, so you naturally wonât know either.â
âHave you seen your familyâs esteemed guests?â
Yu Chen was taken aback. ââ¦Iâve never seen them before. How can esteemed guests be so easy to meet? Only my father and my grandfather have seen them. Even I canât enter the esteemed guestsâ courtyard.â
âSince you canât go in, how did you know that theyâre important guests? Did your family tell you?â Min Rufeng didnât think that the Yu Family would tell Yu Chen if it was Liu Guang and his people.
With Yu Chenâs intelligence, telling her a secret would definitely ruin things.
Like now.
âIt wasnât my family who told me. Of course, thereâs nothing wrong with saying that it was my family who told me. I overheard my father and grandfatherâs conversation and guessed it when I saw the guest in the courtyard.â
âThis is the first time Iâve seen such an elegant young master with such an outstanding temperament. There are two very skilled people guarding the courtyard. Theyâre definitely not ordinary people.â
âElegant?â 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 âelegantâ, was Feng Yun.
âYes, to be honest, Iâve never seen such a special man in my life. I didnât change my mind when I saw such a man and I only like Second Young Master Min. Itâs obvious that Iâm sincere to Second Young Master Minâ¦â
ââ¦â 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,?Youâre quite charming.
Her gazeâ¦
In order to prevent her from being jealous, Min Rufeng turned his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently.
Xi Fengling didnât really mind. She could still differentiate the seriousness of the matter when it came to serious business.
She gestured for him to ask again.
âWhat does the guest you saw look like? Or rather, how is he dressed?â
Yu Chen didnât understand why he asked this. She was happy when she suddenly thought of something.
Indeed, everyone cared about benefits.
Wasnât Min Rufeng interested now? Otherwise, with Min Rufengâs personality of ignoring her in the past, he wouldnât have said so much to her.
âOf course heâs good-looking. His temperament is also top-notch. Otherwise, how could I give him such a high appraisal? As for his attire, heâs wearing a long white robe. He doesnât look like someone from this era. He looks like a wealthy young master from a big family in the last century.â
They were basically certain that it was Feng Yun.
So Feng Yun was in the Yu Family?
Didnât that mean that Liu Guang and the others were also in the Yu Family?
âAre those guests still in the Yu Family?â
âOf 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!â
âThen, letâs wait until your Yu Family is really ranked among the top families before mentioning this matter.â After saying that, Min Rufeng hung up.
He also blacklisted her number.
He only left the last sentence to dispel Yu Chenâs 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 couldnât kill him, but couldnât 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.
