Chapter 114: The Qin Family's Banquet (3)

The three old men who looked about the same age as Mr. Qin was walking side by side.

Among them, on the left side, the old man who smiled kindly was Kang Taehyun's grandfather the current head of the Kang family.

The old man in the middle, with a serious face was Fang Jun's grandfather, the current head of the Fang family.

On the right side, a smiling old man, who look bit dignified, is Ren Yena's grandfather, the current head of the Ren family.

In addition to Mr. Qin, the heads of the four major families in Kyoto are all here.

In addition, behind the three old men are Fang Jun with an impatient face, Kang Jihan with a bewildered face, and Ren Yena in gorgeous dress with her younger brother Ren Dongyi.

"You are here."

Seeing the three old men coming, old man Qin immediately stood up with the crutch in his hand.

The old man of the Kang family walked to Lee Minho's side first then glanced at the gold in the box in the servant's hand

He then said with a smile to old man Qin.

"Brother Qin, your standard for receiving gifts is a bit high! This gold bar is already precious enough."

After then, the old man of the Kang family took the gift from Kang Jihan's hand behind him and shook it.

"Isn't it old Qin, if we really follow your standard of receiving gifts, no one will be able to afford it tonight."

Old man Ren agreed with a smile.

But old man Fang was the most straightforward, and snorted coldly.

"When did your Qin family have a standard for accepting gifts?"

"It's all a misunderstanding."

Mr. Qin said quickly.

"This is all nonsense from that kid Anze. This kid just came back from the outside and has never seen anything in the world."

He then said to everyone present.

"He said something wrong for a while, and everyone saw a joke. Everyone, don't take it to heart."

"If you can come to this old man's birthday banquet, it doesn't matter whether you give a gift or not. As long as you can attend was good enough."

"Old man Qin, I think your grandson should be disciplined and educated more."

Old man Fang didn't give any face to him, and directly gave Qin Anze a cold look.

"Otherwise, next time when he make a mistake in front of others. I don't know what they might do to him."

Qin Anze was stunned when the three old men appeared.

After hearing what the three old men said, combined with his grandfather's increasingly ugly face, he didn't know that he had caused trouble.

Now that Mr. Fang glanced at him like this, he immediately felt that Mr. Fang's majestic aura with a murderous air came rushing towards him.

With just one look, Qin Anze couldn't help but take a step back in fright.

When Mr. Fang was young, he had been on the battlefield shedding blood.

Therefore, he is also the most imposing one among the several old men.

"That's right old man brother Qin, you should discipline and educated him well."

He then continued.

"If you encounter someone who is not good at talking, then you don't know what the consequences will be."

As soon as Mr. Kang said this, the expressions of all the people present could not help but froze for a moment.

They all know that Mr. Kang was talking about the incident in the Treasure Pavilion own by Fang Jun and family.

'What does it mean that Fang Jun didn't care about Qin Anze?'

You know, because Qin Anze offended Fang Jun, Fang Jun has been suppressing several companies under the name of the Qin family during this period of time.

Among them, two companies were directly out of breath and fell down.

The Qin family was directly scraped off two pieces of meat.

If it hadn't been for the old man of the Qin family to take action in time, it might not be just two pieces of meat that were scraped off.

"That's my grandson, not your grandson."

Mr. Fang was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Kang words hinting Fang Jun.

"Hey, you old man, we've known each other for so many years. We were also the ones who slept together under the bridge back then. Isn't your grandson my grandson, right young Jun?"

Mr. Kang asked Fang Jun who was standing behind Mr. Fang with a smile.

Today Fang Jun was wearing a dark gray suit, which made his gloomy face even more gloomy.

Hearing Mr. Kang's question, Fang Jun showed a rare smile, dispelled the gloom on his face, and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Jun's eyes landed on Lee Minho ignoring Qin Anze as if he didn't exist.

Kang Taehyun and the others standing behind Lee Minho had already stepped aside when the old man and the others arrived.

Therefore, Lee Minho could clearly see Fang Jun looking at him when he turned his head.

When Fang Jun looked over, Lee Minho nodded slightly at him.

"Brother Kang is joking. Although that young man is a bit reckless, he still has a sense of proportion in front of big things."

Facing the aggressiveness of Mr. Fang and Mr. Kang, Mr. Qin can only suppressed the anger in his heart.

The words of Mr. Fang and Mr. Kang clearly meant that Qin Anze would cause great trouble in the future.

It might even implicate their Qin family.

Even if he doesn't wait to see Qin Anze again, in this case, he still has to protect Qin Anze.

Once you admit what Mr. Fang and Mr. Kang said just now. Not only will Qin Anze will be rejected by people in the Kyoto circle in the future.

Even the Qin family would be ostracized by all the families in Kyoto.

After all, with a grandson like Qin Anze who may cause big troubles at any time, it will be a matter of time before the Qin family will fall.

The Qin family's family business may be destroyed overnight.

"Anze, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lee."

Old Master Qin shouted at Qin Anze.

"What? Why should I need apologize to him?"

Qin Anze's first reaction was to refuse.

However, after seeing old master Qin's cold eyes and seeing his father standing not far away, he kept giving himself signals.

Qin Anze knew that he had to apologize now, otherwise, he would really miss the position of heir of the Qin family in the future.

Therefore, Qin Anze gritted his teeth, he turned around and said to Lee Minho.

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

Lee Minho pretended that he didn't heard it.

"Sorry, I didn't hear it."

"Im sorry."

Qin Anze increased his voice again and roared directly.

His voice echoed throughout the bangquet hall, and everyone heard it.

'Damn, he did it on purpose.'

Deliberately humiliating him in front of so many people.

This was the first banquet he attended when he returned to Qin's house.

And it was such a grand banquet.

Originally, tonight was supposed to be his most glorious and glorious moment.

Now, because of Lee Minho, using him has become the biggest joke tonight.

He remembered Lee Minho's name and as long as tonight is over, he will make Lee Minho pay hundred times the price.

Qin Anze's cultivation is not up to the mark.

Although he apologized, the tone of his apology was so unwilling. His eyes were so hostile, as if he wanted to tear Lee Minho apart.

Anyone with eyes can tell that Qin Anze didn't really mean to apologize at all.

"Im sorry, there are too many people here, so I can't hear you."

Lee Minho looked innocent. He pretended to be blank and said.

"However, Mr. Qin is too polite. The gift is for Mr. Qin so it's normal for Mr. Qin to let his grandson take a look. There's no need to apologize to me!"

Lee Minho is pretending that he doesn't understand anything and acted to be good when he gets a bargain.

He actually added fuel to the fire even more.

Qin Anze wanted to go up directly and tear Lee Minho into pieces with his own hands.

Seeing this scene, Qin Guokang was so happy that he wished to drink two glasses of red wine to celebrate.

But he held back, and even got ahead of Qin Guoming when he saw Qin Guoming wanting to take the stage.

He take the initiative to go forward to smooth things over.

"Uncles and guests, I'm so sorry. My nephew just came back. My father hasn't had time to teach him yet."

He then continued in sad tone asking for sympathy.

"He's still young and ignorant. He just misunderstood and offended everyone."

Qin Guokang then said while picking up the wine glass.

"Here, as an uncle, I apologize to all the guests on behalf of my nephew."

People in the hall raised their glasses one after another.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly."

"Yeah, it's normal for this young man to say the something wrong."

"This second master Qin is being polite, and he actually apologized to us instead of his nephew."

"I think that with a father like him, the children he can teach must be better than Qin Anze."

"Of course, Mr. Qin taught him well. Qin Anze did this because he had just returned to the Qin family and Mr. Qin didn't have time to teach him yet."

"That's right, if old master Qin had taught him, Qin Anze wouldn't be so reckless today."

"It's just a pain for Mr. Qin. At such age, he actually spends time teaching his grandson."

"I think it's the father of the child who should teach the child. How can you bother the old man!"

Qin Guokang's words are beautiful killing three birds with one stone.

Not only did he justify old master Qin's name, but he also belittled Qin Anze, and ruined Qin Guoming's reputation.

After all, as the father of Qin Anze. Qin Guoming should have taken the responsibility to educate the child.

It is really improper to leave the responsibility of educating the children to the old man.

It's because Qin Guoming didn't educate the children well that Qin Anze made such an ugly mess on such a big occasion today.

Therefore, even if there is a mistake, it is Qin Guoming and Qin Anze's fault.

It looks like Mr. Qin is right, he was implicated innocently.

Qin Guoming, who was on the sidelines, saw Qin Guokang, not only went up to smooth things over before him, but also ruined his reputation in front of so many people.

He was so angry that his face turned blue.

But he couldn't do anything to refute, after all, his son had already caused trouble.

If something happens to him at this time, he and his son may be kicked out of the Qin family directly.

After hearing what the people in the banquet hall said, Mr. Qin's face softened and gave Qin Guokang an appreciative look.

Even though he knew that Qin Guokang was deliberately discrediting Qin Anze and Qin Guoming.

However, Mr. Qin didn't want to see the two of them.

Compared with others, he felt that he could not teach his grandson well and ruined his reputation.

It's better to let others think that Qin Guoming didn't teach his son well, and instead made his old father suffer.

In this way, the Qin family and his reputation are all preserved.
