Chapter 115: The Qin Family's Banquet (4)

Qin Anze was directly pulled aside by Qin Guoming as he no longer dared to stand by the old man's side.

Because of what Qin Guokang said. The two people who were supposed to be in limelight became the most embarrassing existence at the banquet.

But from Qin Anze's point of view, all of this is because of Lee Minho, if it's not for him, all of this would not have happened at all.

However, he had gotten into trouble just now and left a bad impression in front of so many people.

Qin Anze didn't dare to make any noise at the banquet.

He could only stay with Qin Guoming in a small corner of the banquet hall.

Those people who had been enthusiastically approaching Qin Anze wanting to please him now stayed away.

Qin Anze's performance just now looked like he is embarrassing Mr. Qin that's why they pulled out.

Except for Lu Quiang's followers, there is no one else beside Qin Anze now.

They had already stood on Qin Anze's boat and were bound to him.

If they also stayed away from Qin Anze at this time, they would be courting death.

Leaving aside the people in the Kyoto circle, they have already tacitly agreed that they belong to Qin Anze.

Even if they left Qin Anze at this time, this kind of behavior of betraying the master has always been shamed by the circle.

Moreover, the Qin family will not let them go. After all, Qin Anze is still a member of the Qin family.

Lu Quiang and the others could only sit aside and comfort Qin Anze constantly. However, Qin Anze's ugly face did not change at all.

On the contrary, Lee Minho was standing beside the three old men with a smile on his face.

Within three meters of them, no one else approached for fear of disturbing the three old men.

"Mr. Leee, you are indeed young and promising. Our Taehyun often mentioned you to us, saying that you helped him a lot."

Mr. Kang looked at Lee Minho up and down with his eyes and stayed on Lee Minho's watch for a second.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't help much. It's just that my arm was injured a while ago, and Taehyun helped me a lot."

Lee Minho gently swung the red wine glass in his hand, and looked at Kang Taehyun who was not far away taking a peek at them.

Mr. Kang waved his hand.

"That's nothing. You let that crazy kid borrow the car, and now they're just showing off by returning it."

He then continued.

"People in our family who don't care about cars can't resist taking it for a spin."

"What kind of car can make Jihan tempted? That kid only has chess in his heart."

Old Man Ren asked with a smile on the side.

"It's the G310 Lightning King sports car that young people like."

"Oh? It's that car! My grandson Jun also made a reservation, but it hasn't arrived yet."

Mr. Fang looked at Lee Minho meaningfully then said.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Lee acquired it very quickly."

G310 Lightning King sports car is a limited edition car.

Although the price is only more than 10 million dollars, in terms of performnance, it is better than those cars worth 20 to 30 million dollars.

G310 Lightning King sports car is not an ordinary sports car. That is a commemorative sports car launched by Red Star Automobile.

Fang Jun used Mr. Fang's name to order a reservation and still needed to wait for acquisition.

However, Lee Minho got the car not long after it came out. The power behind this is really not simple!

"I'm just lucky."

Lee Minho smiled lightly, without too much explanation.

This is indeed the car he got by luck. After getting the car, he hasn't driven it himself yet!

Moreover, after winning the Starry Series Limited Edition Collectors Watch worth nearly 60 million dollars.

Lee Minho felt that the car worth more than 10 million dollars seemed to be just like that.

Not as expensive as the watch.

It was only now after listening to old man Fang that Lee Minho finally understood why Kang Taehyun and the others were so interested in his sports car.

It turned out that even Fang Jun needed to make a reservation just to get one.

Hearing Lee Minho talk about luck, the three old men all laughed. They all tacitly didn't ask any more questions.

Mr. Kang then changed the subject and said.

"Taehyun said that you play chess very well and even beat Jun?"

Lee Minho nodded without humility,

"It's not that much of praise."

"Haha, young people have self-confidence. When you are free, come and sit with me."

"Although I don't have a fixed level but as an old man, my strength is not low."

Mr. Kang laughed loudly and said.

"By the way, our family is a professional chess player. You can have a match later."

"Alright."

Lee Minho nodded in agreement with a chuckle.

Mr. Ren couldn't help but said as well.

"My granddaughter Yena can also play chess, and even participated in the Chess Cup Qualifiers before."

"Tch, don't you know that both of our grandchildren lost to Mr. Lee, right?"

Mr. Ren put his hands behind his back and looked at Lee Minho with a faint smile on his face.

His gaze was like a torch and the aura on his body increased a bit.

"Oh, is that so?"

Mr. Ren seemed not to know, and looked at Lee Minho curiously.

Mr. Kang said in surprise after hearing it.

"Young Jun's chess skills are not weak, I didn't expect you to win against him?"

Obviously, these three old men are trying to test him at this time.

The seemingly casual attitude can be seen on the surface, but the eyes are very sharp.

The three old men have held high positions for a long time, and their aura is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

When one is released at the same time, the pressure increases exponentially.

However, Lee Minho has received systematic and professional training.

And in terms of momentum, none of the teachers in the space system is bad.

Especially the old man who taught him chess, his aura was much stronger than these three old man.

Therefore, the smile on Lee Minho's face remained unchanged as he gently shook the wine glass in his hand again.

While allowing the red wine to emit a more aroma, he said.

"A few days ago, I played a game of chess with Han Seungwoo."

"Oh? You know Han Seungwoo?"

Mr. Kang was really surprised this time.

After all, Han Seungwoo is the master of chess in Colorado that even Mr. Kang admired him very much.

"I know him."

Lee Minho thought.

'Of course we know each other, even if I tell it, no one will believe it. It was the one who search for me on his own initiative!'

"You played chess with him, it seems that you must be very strong in chess. No wonder you young Jun."

Mr. Fang also knew about Han Seungwoo and even admired this young man just like Mr. Kang.

After all, Han Seungwoo won a lot of glory for Colorado.

He also knew that Han Seungwoo are not accepting a chess with others easily.

To be precise, Han Seungwoo never play chess with weak players.

Those who can play chess with Han Seungwoo are not weak in chess.

Mr. Kang glanced at Kang Taehyun, and then said to Lee Minho.

"Okay, our Taehyun has seen it more than a dozen times. He probably has something to do with you."

He then added on.

"You young people, go and play by yourself, you don't need to accompany us old mans."

"Then please excuse me."

Lee Minho nodded towards the three of them.

He then walk towards Kang Taehyun and the others who are eager to see through.

Looking at Lee Minho's back while walking away, Mr. Kang touched the white beard on his chin and said.

"This young man is not simple! He speaks impeccably, and doesn't look like someone his age at all."

Mr. Fang withdrew his gaze from Lee Minho's back and said as well.

"I took a look just now, and his words and deeds are all professionally trained. It is impossible for an ordinary family to cultivate such a child."

"What happened just now must have been done on purpose by him. He was sure that Qin Anze would make trouble and calculated that we would show up at that time."

Mr. Ren then sighed.

"Young people nowadays are really amazing."

Mr. Kang and Mr. Fang did not refute, they also agreed to what Mr. Ren said.

However, in fact, this is a coincidence.

Because at this time, the system was also in Lee Minho's mind, constantly asking.

{Host, did you already know that Qin Anze would definitely ask to open the gift you gave in public?}

{Did you figured out that the three humans would show up at that time, taking the opportunity to embarrass the Qin family?}

"Of course not. I gave gold simply because it is the cheapest among my many things."

Lee Minho added on.

"Besides, I didn't know that those three old men would show up at that time taking the opportunity to embarrass the Qin family."

The reason why the three old men suddenly tested him just now was obviously because they also suspected that what happened to him just now was planned by him.

{Is it really a coincidence?}

The system held a skeptical attitude.

"It's really just a coincidence. I can swear to God. You've been with me for so long, do you think I have the ability and brains to design the scene just now?"

For the sake of his own innocence, Lee Minho didn't sacrifice himself in front of the system.

The system then thought for a while.

{Indeed, the host really doesn't have that ability and brain to do that.}

Before Lee Minho could reach Kang Taehyun and the others, all of them are already running over impatiently.

"Young Master Lee!"

"Those old men just made a move, I was so excited to see it!"

"Look at Qin Anze's complexion, it's as dark as the bottom of a pot."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Young Master Lee to use a piece of gold to stir up the situation of the four major families. It's too powerful."

The four of you said one sentence to another, surrounded him with a looked of admiration on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Lee Minho couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It seems that they also misunderstood, thinking that what happened just now was all planned by him.

Lee Minho then said tentatively.

"It was a coincidence, do you believe it?"

But Kang Taehyun smiled and said.

"Young Master Lee is really humble."

Yoon Jungsu also nodded.

"Don't worry, Young Master Lee, those three old men are too late to be happy, and won't bother you for a while."

Seo Inguk also agreed.

"That's right, I saw that the three old men and Young Master Lee were chatting and laughing just now, and they got along very well!"

Jung Jinso couldn't help but enviously said.

"That's right, when Young Master Lee chatted with the three old men just now, I don't know how many people were envious!"

'Talking and laughing?'

The corner of Lee Minho's mouth twitched slightly.

It was obviously all kinds of temptations and backstabbing just now.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have pierced his heart long ago.

It's just that seeing the happy faces of the four people again, and looking around, there are indeed quite a few people who cast envious glances at him.

Even Fang Jun, who was standing in the distance was looking at him.

'Alas, forget it, no one will believe me even if I explain.'

Lee Minho was wondering, but he didn't know that many unmarried ladies around him were looking.

After seeing him leave the side of the three old men, they were all very excited and eager to strike up a conversation.

After all, things about Lee Minho have been circulating in the circle recently.

At first they thought it was just a small character.

Unexpectedly, on the Qin family's territory tonight, he was be able to make Qin Anze suffer.

This ability is really too strong.

Therefore, many socialites who had been looking at Qin Anze at first turned their attention to Lee Minho.

One of the ladies, who was wearing a blue knee-length evening dress walked towards Lee Minho.
