Chapter 113: The Qin Family's Banquet (2)

Facing the staring gazes cast by the entire banquet hall, Lee Minho deeply felt all kinds of pressure coming.

Some are resentful with disdain while the others are curious and surprised.

It's amazing that Lee Minho can see through the eyes of these people.

But it was precisely because of this that Lee Minho felt innocent.

The current situation where the big brother brought a group of younger brothers to the scene was not intentional either.

Behind him, followed by Kang Taehyun, Yoon Jungsu, Choi Jaywon, Jung Jinso, and Seo Inguk.

When Kang Taehyun went to pick up Lee Minho, Yoon Jungsu and the other three also came, so they followed.

It's just that when they entered the door, all five of them were one step behind Lee Minho.

This caused the situation where the big boss brought the younger brother out just now.

Facing the gazes from all sides, Lee Minho nodded slightly towards everyone.

And then, under everyone's gaze, he walked towards the highest position, tonight's birthday old Mr. Qin.

For such a large scale birthday banquet, the guests, regardless of their status or age, would personally come forward to give gifts to the birthday man and add a few words of congratulations.

Lee Minho has been specially trained in the system space, so he knows what to do and how to deal with various emergencies at the banquets.

Lee Minho took the gift he had prepared, and Kang Taehyun and the others also followed behind.

Then he handed the gift with both hands.

"Mr. Qin, this junior Lee Minho wish you a happy birthday, good luck and prosperity!"

Kang Taehyun and the others also handed over the birthday gifts they brought, and said a few birthday wishes.

The butler standing next to Mr. Qin immediately stepped forward skillfully, and took the gift box from Lee Minho and others.

The movement was smooth as it hand it over to the servants standing aside.

"You are Lee Minho?"

Mr. Qin scanned Lee Minho with his eyes.

Even though he had seen Lee Minho's photo but after seeing the real person, he found that the real person has a lot more extraordinary than the photos.

The so-called temperament is really an ethereal thing.

People in ordinary families don't have enough self-cultivation and wealth, so they really can't raise children with outstanding temperament.

People in ordinary families don't have enough self-cultivation and wealth, so they really can't raise children with outstanding temperament.

With every gesture Lee Minho, unconsciously exudes a confident and noble temperament.

At first glance, he looks like a rich and noble son who has been specially trained in etiquette.

His outstanding temperament and with his handsome appearance made him look like a noble prince.

"I am."

Facing Mr. Qin's scrutiny, Lee Minho looked generous and calm.

The face is specially trained, neither too much nor too little, just the right smile.

When the other people in the banquet hall heard the name 'Lee Minho', they were stunned.

The originally quiet banquet hall instantly began to boil.

"So he is that Lee Minho?"

"Is that the Lee Minho who destroyed the Zhong family and then slammed Qin Anze at the auction?"

"It's awesome. He have offended Qin Anze and yet still dare to come to Mr. Qin's birthday banquet."

"To me, the Qin family is really magnanimous, and even invited him here."

"I think there must be a big boss behind Lee Minho."

"Maybe that's why Qin family invited him to the banquet instead of making him disappear in the capital?"

"Keep your voice down, did you see that Qin Anze has passed by."

"Now there's a good show to watch."

Everyone was discussing, but they saw Qin Anze hurriedly walking in the direction where Mr. Qin and Lee Minho was.

"Young Master Lee is here to attend my grandfather's birthday banquet. What kind of precious gift is he holding such an exquisite box? Can you open our eyes?"

Qin Anze glanced at the palm-sized red gift box that Lee Minho gave.

And when he said the word 'precious', he was actually being stingy with Lee Minho that the gift he gave was only that big.

It's probably not a good thing either.

"Anze...."

Mr. Qin raised his eyebrows, and called out to Qin Anze in a warning tone.

'This grandson of mine really can't get on the stage.'

No matter what the guest presents, Mr. Qin who is the protagonist of the birthday banquet, has no objection.

But Qin Anze, the grandson, actually jumped out to make trouble.

This is not only slapping the face of Lee Minho as a guest, but also slapping old man Qin, the protagonist of the banquet.

Qin Ze was a hates Lee Minho's presence in the banquet.

He didn't know that Mr. Qin asked the housekeeper to send invitations to Lee Minho.

Therefore, Qin Anze thought that Lee Minho wanted to trouble him, so he dared to come to him on his own initiative.

"I have already given this gift to Mr. Qin. If Young Master Qin wants to see it, he needs Mr. Qin's consent."

Lee Minho smiled and threw the answer to Mr. Qin.

"Grandpa, I'm really curious about what this gift is, can you open it and have a look?"

Qin Anze looked at Mr. Qin and asked.

However, Qin Anze didn't know that if he asked the old man in front of so many people, it meant that he was persecuting the old man Qin.

As long as the person has brains, it will not say such a thing on this occasion.

After all, Qin Anze is a member of the Qin family.

Even if he is an illegitimate child who has just been brought back, he still represents the face of the Qin family in front of everyone.

As the head of the Qin family, his grandson spoke in front of so many people.

Even if Mr. Qin is unwilling, whether to prevent people from seeing his dissatisfaction with Qin Anze, or to stabilize the face of the Qin family, he must agree.

So, even though he was extremely dissatisfied, Mr. Qin still smiled and said.

"Alright, since you want to, then go have a look."

On the surface, he seems to be a kind old man pampering his grandson, but in fact, as long as you look carefully, you can see that Mr. Qin's smile is only on the surface.

After saying those words, Mr. Qin looked at Lee Minho embarrassedly.

"Mr. Lee, my grandson is naughty, please forgive me."

Lee Minho nodded and smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that Mr. Qin was quite magnanimous.

Originally he thought it was a disguise banquet to deal with him, but now it seems that it is not.

At the very least, Lee Minho didn't feel that Mr. Qin was targeting or embarrassing him.

On the contrary, Lee Minho felt that old master Qin was dissatisfied with Qin Anze.

Qin Anze smiled smugly at Lee Minho.

It's like saying that he is the grandson of his grandfather, if he wants to see this gift, his grandfather will definitely agree.

"Come on, quickly open it and see what rare treasures are inside. I want to see it."

Qin Anze ordered the old housekeeper.

The old butler has been with Mr. Qin for more than forty years.

He is Mr. Qin's confidant and is loyal to Mr. Qin. More often, no matter externally or internally, it represents the old man.

At home, even Qin Guoming dared not speak in this tone to the old housekeeper.

But in Qin Anze's view, the old butler was just a servant.

He is the young master of the Qin family, and his status is much more noble than this servant.

Therefore, when facing the old housekeeper, Qin Anze didn't show any respect at all.

Seeing that Qin Anze actually spoke to the old housekeeper in such an orderly tone, Old Master Qin became even more dissatisfied.

Seeing Qin Anze's stupid look, Kang Taehyun and others couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

'This Qin Anze really has no brains.'

Embarrassing the old housekeeper on this occasion is tantamount to slapping Mr. Qin in the face.

On the surface, the butler maintained the same respect as before, obeying Qin Anze's order, and asked the servant behind him to open Lee Minho's gift box.

Inside, there was a golden gold bar in the palm-sized box. The gold bar is also engraved with the words 100g.

After seeing that it turned out to be a gold bar, Qin Anze immediately burst into joy.

Just now he was worried that Lee Minho would really give some expensive gifts.

After all, at the auction, Lee Minho auctioned more than 700 million dollars worth of items which is enough to prove that he has good financial resources.

Now seeing the congratulatory gift from Lee Minho was actually just a 100-gram piece of gold, worth only a few tens of thousands of dollars.

Qin Anze immediately gained confidence.

He then immediately yelled at Lee Minho.

"Lee Minho, are you serious? You gave this as a gift for Grandpa's 70th birthday? This is insulting."

Lee Minho looked innocent as he answered.

"Is there a rulebook for gifts? Does it say you need gold or diamonds?"

He then continued with sa ad smile.

"If that's the case, then I can only say sorry. After all, I'm a poor person, so I can't afford such a big gift."

Deep inside, Lee Minho's heart ached to death for being able to give away this gold bar.

He used this gold for collection.

Recently, the price of gold has soared. Just this small gold bar is worth is already worth a fortune.

If you come to attend someone's extravagant birthday banquet, you can't give gifts too casually.

Lee Minho even wanted to carry a fruit basket as a gift instead of the gold bar if it's possible.

Looking at Lee Minho wearing a watch worth nearly 60 million watches and a suit that is not cheap at first glance was alking about being poor.

Everyone present could not help but twitch their mouths.

If this guy is poor, then what are they?

Beggars?

It's just that when these people thought about what Lee Minho said just now, their faces suddenly turned a little bit wrong.

Although 100 grams is wrong, it is also gold!

Although it is a bit vulgar, it is also a good thing that can be realized at any time.

Gold bars, no matter in turbulent times or peaceful times. It's all hard money.

Such precious thing was actually insulted by Qin Anze.

So what are the handicrafts, or calligraphy and paintings that they sent?

Rubbish?

Qin Ze's words directly offended everyone present.

However, he still complacently said to Lee Minho.

"For my grandfather, even if it is a gift of tens of millions, he can afford it. You are looking down on my grandfather by giving this crap."

"Shut up!"

Finally, Mr. Qin couldn't stand listening any longer, and knocked hard on the crutch in his hand.

Although Mr. Qin received quite a few tens of millions of gifts.

But how could this matter be said in front of many people, and Qin Anze actually regarded it as the minimum standard.

Not everyone can afford tens of millions of gifts.

Qin Anze's words directly offended almost everyone.

Mr. Qin has already noticed that the faces of many people in the banquet hall have also changed.

"Hey, Brother Qin, when did you have such a high minimum guarantee for accepting gifts?"

A voice from three old men came in from the banquet hall's door.
