Chapter 163 Qin Yeting Wants to Cooperate with the Feng Family, the Royal Family Is Anxious
The ministers' eyes lit up when they saw Lord Feng appear!
His face seemed to scream "Fight! Fight!"
He wanted to do what he did last time: see the Feng family fighting amongst themselves, and then reap the benefits.
Unfortunately, this time, the minister's wishful thinking backfired spectacularly.
When Second Master Feng arrived at the scene, he greeted Xia Yue and Feng Yao with a smile.
"Nephew, niece, there's good wine and food. Why didn't you invite your second uncle? I love eating and drinking the most." Second Uncle Feng was already a bit fat, but now he was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
He plopped down in the empty seat next to Xia Yue, completely disregarding the distinction between the main seat and the secondary seat.
The minister's expression froze on the spot!
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
Feng Er Ye is obsessed with seizing power, how could he possibly let a junior step on his head?
Seeing the minister's discomfitured expression, Xia Yue specially ordered someone to serve him a bowl of sour plum soup, so that he would continue to feel sour.
Since she dared to organize this gathering today, she must have taken Feng Erye's reaction into account.
She had already spoken to Second Master Feng, and once the oil company was established, the second wife would undoubtedly benefit greatly, a hundred times better than cooperating with the royal family.
Feng Erye was a fence-sitter who valued personal gain, so he naturally sided with Xia Yue without hesitation.
Of course, more importantly, Master Feng wanted to continue to ride on the Qin family's coattails.
Knowing that Qin Yeting was coming, Second Master Feng specially brought his daughter, Feng Yue, with him.
Feng Yue was dressed to the nines, with exquisite makeup, crystal high heels, long, straight black hair, and a white long dress, looking every bit the elegant socialite.
Master Feng still wanted to arrange a marriage between Qin Yeting and his daughter, so he said with a smile, "Young Master Qin, my daughter is about the same age as you. She would like to personally receive you as a sign of the Feng family's sincerity. I wonder if she could sit next to you?"
Qin Yeting felt somewhat uncomfortable upon smelling the strong perfume on Feng Yue.
When he heard that the person wanted to sit next to him, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He refused outright, saying, "There's someone sitting next to me; they just went out to answer a phone call."
“Hey, there are so many empty seats here, can he move to another one?” Second Master Feng made the decision for Qin Yeting directly, and said to Feng Yue, “Yueyue, you go sit there and keep Young Master Qin company.”
"Yes~" Feng Yue lowered her head, her sweet voice sending shivers down one's spine.
But as soon as Feng Yue sat down, Qin Yeting stood up.
He changed his position and ended up next to Xia Yue.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Feng Yue's eyes widened. She never expected that she, the dignified young lady of the Feng family, would be rejected so coldly by a man.
Feng Yue was immediately put in an awkward position.
The royal minister, finally witnessing the infighting, and true to his principle of enjoying the spectacle, deliberately said, "Young Master Qin, this is not very gentlemanly of you."
“If you’re such a gentleman, then go sit down and keep me company,” Qin Yeting retorted directly.
The minister quickly waved his hand, explaining that the royal family and the Feng family were at odds, and that he had some connection with the Feng family's daughter.
Given the new emperor's principle of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," he would definitely suspect that he had been bribed by the Feng family, which would be a huge waste.
Finally, Feng Yao stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Sister Feng Yue, Grandma hasn't taken her medicine today. Why don't you go and check on her, or she'll forget again?"
Feng Yue's face was still unpleasant, but at least she had a legitimate reason to leave, so she immediately lowered her head and left.
Master Feng's expression wasn't too pleased either, but he couldn't afford to offend the Qin family, and he still wanted to extract some benefits from the oil company, so he had no choice but to endure it.
If anyone's to blame, it's this daughter—she's useless and can't be presented in public.
After this little incident, Shang Zexi, who had been outside answering the phone, returned.
He sat down in the chair Feng Yue had just been sitting in, and then saw Qin Yeting sitting next to Xia Yue, looking puzzled.
What's going on, boss?
Didn't we agree to pretend to have amnesia and distance ourselves from my sister-in-law?
Why are we sitting so close together now?
Shang Zexi didn't understand, and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
As for matters of the heart, this single guy has no right to understand them yet.
Qin Yeting naturally noticed Shang Zexi's gaze and knew he should go back.
But sitting next to Xia Yue, smelling the familiar medicinal scent on her, he really couldn't bear to part with her.
As for Xia Yue, since she was the hostess today, she naturally couldn't send Qin Yeting away.
She was still waiting for Qin Yeting to agree to the cooperation terms.
It would be best to sign the contract today, then everything will be fine.
"Come on, everyone, let's eat first." Xia Yue pretended nothing had happened and started arranging the meal.
Feng Yao picked up a chicken leg for himself.
Master Feng noticed that Feng Yao's complexion was rosy and his voice was no longer as weak as before. He hadn't heard his nephew cough once since he came in.
Master Feng asked curiously, "Nephew, you seem to be feeling much better?"
"Thanks to my sister's superb medical skills, and also thanks to your good fortune, Second Uncle. Without you, how could I have survived to this day?" Feng Yao looked at Second Master Feng with a half-smile.
Master Feng chuckled, understanding Feng Yao's unspoken message.
However, now is not the time for internal strife, so Master Feng Er could not continue talking to Feng Yao.
Master Feng abruptly changed the subject, urging Xia Yue, "Didn't you say you were going to discuss cooperation with Young Master Qin? How did the talks go?"
"We've said everything we needed to say beforehand. Now it's up to Young Master Qin to decide what he thinks." Xia Yue looked at Qin Yeting and said solemnly, "The Xia family is very sincere."
"That chicken leg over there looks good, but it's a bit far from me. Miss Xia, could you please get me some?" Qin Yeting hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
