I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1099: A Show of Force

Beisitian and the two others stood behind the porch pillars, the people on both sides, clearly divided, seemed somewhat embarrassed, though perhaps only the modern families felt this embarrassment.

Perhaps anyone who has spent a long time carefully dressing up only to arrive at the banquet venue and find everyone there in casual wear, even tank tops, would feel a sense of embarrassment and anger.

Moreover, those from the ancient families were currently looking at them with mocking gazes, which gave the already embarrassed modern families an illusion of being humiliated.

Seeing this, Beisitian basically understood, this was a warning!

She didn’t know whether the ancient families always held their events this way or if it was planned in advance. In any case, the Nie Family specifically mentioned a banquet without elaborating further, just waiting for the modern families to dress up meticulously, hoping to make them feel embarrassed at this moment.

In such a situation, dressing more luxuriously does not give you an advantage; the ancient families are too powerful and have overwhelming dominance over the modern families, occupying the home ground, making the modern families’ luxurious attire only serve to turn them into clowns.

Especially under the collective gaze—both watching and mocking—of the ancient families, the embarrassment and anger of the modern families can be easily imagined. Unfortunately, if they were facing ordinary officials, the current status of the modern families might allow them a chance to confront them, but there they stood before mountainous obstacles.

The atmosphere was somewhat stiff, Wen Xin was searching for something among the crowd, but unfortunately, she did not see Beisitian’s face. Qingyu was indeed a leader in the modern faction, yet he hadn’t stepped forward to speak, what was he waiting for?

Beisitian stood by the pillar, conveniently obscured by a large flower bed, at least hidden from Wen Xin’s sight. Seeing her looking around sadly, Beisitian sensed Wen Xin harbored ill intentions.

Could she be looking for her?

To go out and bear the brunt, to confront these ancient families, to be the one to catch attention?

She could guarantee that Wen Xin likely imposed the title of ’leader’ on her and Qingyu—sounding grand and impressive—when in reality, they were just being pushed out as cannon fodder.

Beisitian didn’t know she had almost perfectly guessed Wen Xin’s intentions instantly. She wasn’t fooled by Wen Xin’s quiet appearance, deeply understanding what kind of person she was, and thus making such a guess. In fact, she was indeed that kind of person.

Even if the modern families were struggling, they couldn’t possibly retreat miserably in such a public setting, and so the tension persisted. Just as the explosive atmosphere between the two groups intensified, a voice appeared.

"Am I late? The banquet hasn’t started yet, has it?"

This voice was elegant and gentle, surprisingly pleasant.

People turned toward the voice, seeing a man in a sharp suit approaching, around forty years old. The man’s presence was extraordinary, his face wearing an urbane smile, yet carrying a sharp edge.

His smile did not make people feel at peace or approachable, this sharpness brought a sense of oppression, this person was Nie Yunsheng!

Beisitian had met him once before, such a presence was impossible to forget, considering his strong presence.

Nie Yunsheng’s entrance line to calm the atmosphere thus led the entire banquet’s mood into an even tensely sharper scene.

If the previous scene was a standoff between modern and ancient families, now Beisitian perceived from subtle expressions that there was both fear and hatred towards Nie Yunsheng.

Beisitian was puzzled, could it be that this warning wasn’t orchestrated by the Nie Family?
