Chapter 92: The Qin Family’s Reception
At this moment, the Qin family was wantonly spreading the feast and celebrating together.
What were they celebrating? Definitely, it was because of the He family’s destruction. They were able to gain further control over the various business networks in Thunder City.
Ever since the He family’s destruction, a large piece of fat meat had been placed in front of the few large factions in Thunder City. The various shops and businesses that had previously cooperated with the He family had all been suspended. They are looking for a new supplier, in order to seek an opportunity to develop their businesses in Thunder City.
The cultivators and wealth of the Qin family were inferior to that of the He family, but they could also be regarded as a huge business and scholarly family.
The two daughters of the He family’s head, Qin Mingzhu and Qin Xiaoxi’s beauty were well-known in the city. If someone could marry them, they would definitely enjoy a lifetime of happiness.
However, there were many rumors in the city recently.
It was rumored that the He family’s destruction was inextricably linked to Qin Mingzhu. The adopted son of the He family, He Zhao, had died because of Qin Mingzhu. As for how He Zhao died, some people thought it was done by the Deity Sect, while others thought it was done by He Cangming, the family head of the He family.
There were all sorts of explanations.
However, the only thing they had in common was…
The destruction of the He family was not only something that the other families and factions in Thunder City wanted to see, but it was also something that the commoners of the city wanted to see.
Although the Thunder City that the He family controlled could be said to be filled with order and stability, many activities of the He family could be seen to harm nature and had caused the commoners to suffer greatly. And now that the He family had been wiped out, it was naturally a great joyous occasion.
“Master Qin!”
A middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, wearing round-framed gold-rimmed glasses and dressed in a long robe and a Mandarin jacket walked in. As soon as he saw Qin Haisheng greeting the guests at the entrance of the Qin family, he hurriedly greeted him.
“Aiyo, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang! Please come in quickly! A seat has been prepared for you.”
Seeing that Mr. Zhang had greeted him, Qin Haisheng immediately invited him to his seat.
Everyone knew that Mr. Zhang controlled more than half of the silk business in Thunder City, and all the silk merchants could make a large sum of money from it during every festival. This was naturally a good business for the Qin family.
“Hi, Mr. Li, why did you bring a gift?” Just as Mr. Zhang was settled in, another man walked in. He dressed like a nouveau richen. This man was full of gold and jade accessories. He was holding an exquisite silk gift box in one hand. It seemed that there were many good things in it.
Qin Haisheng quickly took the gift.
At this moment, the Qin family was exuding glory from all over. From the lobby to the main hall, it was filled with lights and colorful decorations.
The people who came here today were all the big bosses of Thunder City. It seemed that once the He family fell, the head of the Qin family, Qin Haisheng, had already begun to plan how to make the Qin family the second powerful existence in Thunder City.
“I heard that the head of the Qin family has another daughter who is nineteen years old.”
Everyone chatted and laughed.
Many of them had only seen Qin Mingzhu, but they had never seen Qin Haisheng’s second daughter. They had only heard from many people that the second daughter of the Qin family was an existence that Qin Haisheng regarded as the pearl in his hands. However, almost no one had seen her before, therefore, everyone was extremely curious about his second daughter.
“Indeed. My second daughter is almost 20 this year.”
Qin Haisheng toasted a cup of wine to the shop owners at one of the tables.
“I wonder if I can see her true appearance today.”
“Who in Thunder City doesn’t know that the daughter of the Qin family, Qin Mingzhu, is a peerless beauty? I believe that the beauty of the second daughter of the Qin family must be captivating even the birds and beasts. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
Everyone was laughing and chatting.
They were all extremely curious about Qin Xiaoxi because almost no one had seen her true appearance in the past nineteen years.
Even the He family, who used to call the wind and summon the rain, did not have the chance to see Qin Xiaoxi’s appearance.
And the various rumors about Qin Xiaoxi were also mixed.
Some said that she was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Some said that she was a young and promising cultivator of the Qin family, and some said that the Qin family had hidden her for so many years just because her appearance was ugly.
But in the end, they were still very curious about Qin Xiaoxi’s face, and they all hoped to see her face.
“Good, good. Today, everyone will be able to see my second daughter.”
When everyone heard this, they all clapped and cheered.
And this was exactly what Qin Haisheng had expected.
Perhaps after tonight, half of the shops in Thunder City would be in Qin Haisheng’s hands. When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but chuckle in his heart.
Everything was progressing according to his expectations.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Qin family.
Qin Mingzhu was gloomily looking at the koi carp that kept poking their heads out of the lotus pond. She seemed to be deep in thought, but most of all, it was fear.
Over the past two days, rumors about He Zhao had spread all over the city. Many people said that he hadn’t been eliminated by the Deity Sect, nor had he been killed by He Cangming, the head of the He family. Instead, he had fled to a place that no one knew about.
She understood He Zhao very well. He was not someone who would let things go so easily. If he wasn’t eradicated from the root, there would definitely be endless trouble in the future. Given He Zhao’s personality, he would come to seek revenge. Exterminating her entire family wouldn’t be a problem.
“It’s alright, Elder Sister.”
Qin Mingzhu shook her head.
“Even if he isn’t dead, his spiritual power and cultivation should have already been crippled by more than half. How could he have the ability to come to you to seek revenge, and… that can’t be blamed on you. It can only be said that He Zhao is too ambitious, thinking that he could control the He family. He brought this upon himself.” At this moment, his younger brother Qin Yu was trying to comfort his melancholic sister.
“I naturally know this, but the things I did back then, the outsiders would think that I’m an adulterer, but I really had no choice. It was He Junjie who forced me to do this.” Qin Mingzhu said until here, tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. She quickly wiped them away with her embroidered handkerchief.
“I know, Sister. He Junjie is no good either. His whole family is no good either. Sister, you were just manipulated by them.”
“I hope so. I don’t want to be involved in this mess anymore.”
“It’s okay. There won’t be another He family in Thunder City in the future,” Qin Yu continued to comfort her.
“Where’s Xiaoxi?” Qin Mingzhu suddenly asked as if she suddenly remembered something.
“Second Sister just came back four hours ago. Father told her to take a shower and change her clothes to attend tonight’s banquet.” Qin Yu took some fish food with his hand and threw it into the lotus pond.
