Chapter 270: A Disaster

“So Second Brother agreed to cooperate with me?”

“If you really have these two items in your hands, it’s possible to cooperate with you. I just don’t understand why you insist on keeping your position as the eldest daughter of the Min Family.”

“Since you have the ability to conceal yourself for so many years, you shouldn’t do too bad after leaving the Min Family.”

“Second Brother, that’s a strange question.”

“I can indeed live very well without the Min Family. But without the title of the eldest daughter of the Min Family, no matter how well I live or how much money I have, I’m just an ordinary person and not the eldest daughter of the Min Family in the capital.”

“The Min Family in the capital, one of the three top families in the capital. It’s said that it’s easy to have a strong backer. How can I bear to give up such a good identity as the eldest daughter of the Min Family?”

“People who have been born into influential families will choose people with similar family backgrounds for marriage. I can only marry into a good family if I stay in the Min Family.”

“Besides, returning to the Min Family is an obsession that my father can’t let go of even until his death. Since I’m already in the Min Family, how can I leave?”

Min Sisi’s words naturally made sense.

Unfortunately, Min Rufeng didn’t believe her.

Or rather, not entirely.

Min Rufeng asked this not because he wanted to ask a question that could be answered easily. He simply wanted to test if Min Sisi would expose anything more.

In fact, Min Sisi naturally wanted more than what she said.

It was true that she wanted to protect her identity as the eldest daughter of the Min Family, but her ultimate goal of protecting this identity was to marry the person she wanted to marry.

She didn’t mention it now because she still didn’t know how close Min Rufeng and Yan Jinyu’s relationship was, and she urgently needed to stabilize Min Rufeng first.

The most important thing now was to protect her identity. As for the rest, they could slowly plan in the future.

“Alright, it will be the time for us to cooperate when you take out the recording and will.”

“Second Brother, don’t worry. Since I suggested the cooperation, I naturally am 100% sincere. I’ve brought everything and I can hand it to Second Brother now.”

As she spoke, she opened the handbag in her hand and took out a recording pen and a folded piece of paper.

Min Rufeng placed the glass of wine on the railing and took it.

He played the recording. There were indeed voices speaking.

However, he did not listen very carefully. He only roughly listened to whose voices were recorded before turning off the recording pen.

As for the folded paper, it was indeed a will.

Although it was just a piece of paper, the content was not perfunctory.

It was a notarial will. It was real and effective.

There was a lot of content, but the most important one was to make him the heir of the Min Family.

The will was notarized two months after he went missing, about a month before his grandfather passed away.

There was still no news of him at that time, so Grandfather…

Min Rufeng’s hand that was holding the will trembled slightly. For a moment, he felt very complicated.

He restrained the emotions in his eyes. He folded the will slowly and put it and the recording pen into his pocket.

He felt very complicated, but no one could tell anything from his appearance. Hence, Min Sisi could not gauge if he was happy or unhappy after receiving these two things.

“How do you intend to continue staying in the Min Family as the eldest daughter of the Min Family? As Min Guili’s daughter? Or as the daughter left behind by Grandfather’s illegitimate son?”

“Min Guili killed Grandfather. I’ve already recognized the villain as my father for so many years. Naturally, I don’t want to continue using his daughter’s identity! I’ve had enough after so many years!”

“Second Brother, you don’t have to interfere in this matter. Grandfather even left two paternity test reports for me. One is for Grandfather and my biological father, and the other is for my biological father and me. There’s also the letter Grandfather left behind. It’s enough to prove my identity.”

Min Rufeng held the wine glass in his hand again and leaned lazily against the railing behind him. He looked at her. “Since you have something that can prove your identity and can still preserve your status as the eldest daughter of the Min Family, why did you still come to cooperate with me?”

“Besides, you have the recording and will in your hands. You could have long exposed Min Guili and Meng An’s evil deeds. Why didn’t you mention anything about it all these years?”

“Could it be that if the Min Family wasn’t in such a situation now, you would’ve never take these two items out?”

“Perhaps now that Min Guili has lost his power in the Min Family, as his daughter, you will also suffer a calamity? The situation is disadvantageous to you, so you have no choice but to choose again and get yourself out of the dire situation?”

Min Sisi thought to herself,?Min Rufeng is a person who isn’t easy to tackle.

It was good enough that he got the evidence. Why did he have to care so much?

“Second Brother, you must be joking. Although I hate Min Guili and Meng An for harming Grandfather and wish for them to receive their retribution immediately, I’m only a girl without anyone to rely on in the end. My reliance is that my parents are Min Guili and Meng An.”

“Yes, I’m a little smart and know how to conceal myself. But what’s the use of this in front of absolute power? The weak can’t win against the strong. I can’t beat them alone.”

Min Rufeng picked up his glass and took a sip. “Your explanations are full of mistakes.”

“You can’t beat them alone. Don’t you still have Second Uncle and Min Ting? You can tell them the truth. They would have come forward.”

Min Sisi’s heart skipped a beat.

This… was indeed a huge loophole.

She reorganized her thoughts and calmed herself down.

“The reason why I didn’t look for Second Uncle and Third Brother is very simple. I don’t believe them.”

“Second Uncle’s status in the Min Family is inferior to Min Guili’s. Third Brother is even famous for being a hedonistic playboy. I don’t believe that they can beat Min Guili and Meng An. And I only have this piece of evidence. I don’t dare to take the risk of causing the truth of Grandfather’s death to be hidden forever.”

“You don’t trust them, but you trust me?”

“At first, I naturally didn’t believe in Second Brother either. Otherwise, why didn’t I do anything after Second Brother returned to the Min Family for three years? It’s because Second Brother’s actions have been a little drastic recently. I heard a lot of rumors that Second Brother isn’t as useless as the rumors say. You have already threatened Min Nan’s identity as the successor, that’s why I tried to contact you and prepared to tell you this.”

“Second Brother should be able to sense my attitude towards you recently.”

“If I didn’t want to cooperate with Second Brother, I wouldn’t have taken the risk of being suspected by Min Gui and Meng An to be so close to Second Brother.”

“Now, does Second Brother have anything else to ask?”

“If not, I’ll go downstairs first. Among the people who came today, there are many daughters from other families who are about the same age as me and are friendly with me usually. I have to go and greet them now.”

“Mm-hm.”

Just as Min Sisi turned to go downstairs, Min Rufeng turned the ring on his left middle finger and took out something that looked like a Bluetooth earphone from his pocket to put it on. “Fengling, did you record the conversation just now?”

Xi Fengling’s voice sounded in Bluetooth’s earphone, “Yes, don’t worry. It’s all recorded. I just didn’t expect your Min Family’s scandal to be so big.”

“It’s no wonder that Beauty Yu is monitoring Min Sisi. She indeed is a huge problem. Beauty Yu personally got Second Young Master Yin’s subordinates to investigate the news and yet she found out about it so quickly.”

“The possibility of the news being leaked from Second Young Master Yin’s subordinates is not high, and it’s even more impossible for it to be leaked from us. Then, there’s only one possibility. Either she found it out herself, or someone told her. However, I’m more inclined to think that someone told her about this.”

“In other words, there might be someone behind Min Sisi.”

“Anyway, I don’t believe a word that she said that Old Master Min swapped her with the original daughter.”

Min Rufeng chuckled. “We share the same conclusions.” He was obviously very satisfied with their tacit understanding.

Yan Jinyu’s communication device was her weapon and watch. Huo Siyu’s communication device was the silver ear stud on her ear. Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng’s communication devices were the rings on their hands.

If they weren’t outside, Xi Fengling’s voice would have come from the ring on Min Rufeng’s left middle finger instead of the Bluetooth earpiece.

When Min Sisi came looking for him, Min Rufeng turned his ring and switched on the communication device without a trace.

Xi Fengling didn’t say anything when she heard that he wasn’t the only one. She recorded the conversation immediately.

“Let’s put this matter aside for now. Have you arrived?”

“On my way. I just spoke to Rainy on the phone, Rainy and I should be able to reach the Min Family in about half an hour. Has Beauty Yu gone over?”

“No, but she should be soon. Since she’s the one who directed the show, she probably won’t miss it.”

“That’s true. Beauty Yu is really lazy when she’s lazy. She’ll be very enthusiastic when she’s in the mood occasionally.”

“That’s it for now. I’m driving. We’ll talk when we get there.”

Min Rufeng answered and turned the ring before taking off his Bluetooth earphone.

Just as he was done, someone walked out from the corner.

The person was dressed in a burgundy suit with his hands in his pockets. He looked even more exquisite than a woman and exuded an unruly aura.

Who else could it be but Min Ting?

At this moment, Min Ting’s expression was a little serious. “I’ve lived in this family for so many years. I’ve never thought that my obedient, sensible, gentle, and always demure cousin would be so well-hidden.”

He had heard Min Rufeng and Min Sisi’s conversation.

However, his expression was serious. It wasn’t entirely because Min Sisi had an unexpected side to her. It was also because the items Min Sisi took out completely confirmed that Old Master Min’s death was related to Min Guili and Meng An.

He felt very cold living in such a scheming family.

“Do you believe her?”

After asking, without waiting for Min Rufeng to reply, Min Ting continued, “Not to mention that Grandfather and Grandmother have an extremely good relationship, Grandfather didn’t remarry when Grandmother passed away early. He has always been alone. It’s impossible for him to be involved with another woman behind Grandmother’s back, let alone give birth to an illegitimate son. Even if there really is such an illegitimate son, it’s impossible for Grandfather to do such a thing as swapping his granddaughters.”

“If there really is an illegitimate child, as long as Grandfather wants to bring her back to the Min Family, who would dare to say anything? Is there a need to take such a long detour?”

After saying that, Min Ting paused.

He suddenly remembered that Min Rufeng was also an illegitimate son.

However, Min Ting would not take the initiative to apologize.

He didn’t say it explicitly at first, so it would be counterproductive if he apologized again.

“Anyway, what she said can’t be trusted.”

“Does it matter whether we believe her or not? If she says so, I’ll just listen to her.”

Min Ting knew that he actually didn’t believe Min Sisi’s words.

“It’s undeniable that what Min Sisi provided is beneficial to us and can quickly turn the situation around. But in the future? I keep feeling that keeping her in the Min Family will be a disaster.”

“Since she’s a disaster, I naturally have to keep a close eye on her to feel at ease.”

“You already have a plan?”

Min Rufeng didn’t answer Min Ting. He only smiled faintly. “We have many guests. It’s time to go down and greet them.”

As he spoke, he turned around and went downstairs.
