Ever since Qin Dingshan was admitted to the mental hospital, his mental state had deteriorated further due to the torment of An Yiqing’s medication and the second and third brothers from the Medicine Sect. After these days of turmoil, Qin Dingshan had already become half insane.
Therefore, the majority of the Qin Family’s power had fallen into the hands of Qin Han, who had also become the sole heir to the Patriarch of the Qin Family. Although Qin Dingshan never explicitly said so, everyone was savvy. Qin Laoer, Qin Feng, was incompetent and weak, while Qin Dingshan’s younger daughter Qin Yu had already married off. Apart from Qin Han, who else was more qualified to be the Family Head?
Thus, as fortunes turn, the once imposing Qin Dingshan had begun to be gradually forgotten by people, and all their attention had shifted to the rising star of the Qin Family, Qin Han.
Watching this man who still appeared courteous and steady on the surface, Zhang Yuksheng couldn’t help but sigh.
You can know a person’s face but not their heart. If it weren’t for Miss reminding him, he might also believe that Qin Han was a friend worth making.
However, no matter what he thought, Zhang Yuksheng knew that he still had to perform the necessary courtesies and say the appropriate words.
"Young Master Qin, I trust you’ve been well. Your attendance at this exhibition will definitely please our Miss," he said, extending his hand politely and shaking hands with Qin Han.
"Manager Zhang is too kind. Although I haven’t had much interaction with Miss An, I’ve always held her in high regard. I definitely had to support her exhibition," Qin Han replied.
Qin Han’s words left Zhang Yuksheng feeling oddly uneasy, but he couldn’t quite figure out why.
With an almost imperceptible furrowing of his brows, Zhang Yuksheng put on an appropriate smile and led Qin Han inside.
Soon, guests who were attending the Yuyuanzhai exhibition started to arrive one after another. This time, An Yiqing had also sent invitations to her grandfather and Old Master Gu, but considering their exceptional status and to avoid creating a stir, both elderly gentlemen decided it was better not to attend.
After learning that Old Master Gu and Old Master An would not be in attendance, Bai Yiming’s grandfather also did not come. Likewise, Head Duan from the Muyun Society did not wish to turn An Yiqing’s exhibition into a place for flattery, so he also stayed at home.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yuksheng frowned and looked at his watch.
He remembered Miss mentioning that the two young masters of the An Family might come. Why hadn’t they arrived yet?
Just as he was puzzled, Zhang Yuksheng’s eyes twitched as the sight of five tall and upright men nearly dazzled him.
How had they all come together? A twitch formed at the corner of Zhang Yuksheng’s mouth as his temples began to throb merrily.
Standing in front of the exhibition hall door was Gu Yelin, Duan Tang, Bai Yiming, An Zhihang, and an additional person from the An Family, five men, each with their own merits, attracting the gaze of all the greeters at the door.
Their pretty faces flushed, eyes sparkling with infatuation as they looked at the equally outstanding and handsome men, their hearts thumping incessantly.
However, for these men, led by Gu Yelin, who seemed like goddesses in a dream, they showed no interest, preferring to stare straight at Zhang Yuksheng instead of glancing at these women.
"General Gu, Family Head Duan, Young Master Bai, Young Master Qin, Second Young Master, what brings you all together... ahem..." Zhang Yuksheng swallowed hard, his inquiring gaze moving back and forth across the faces of the five men, trying to detect some clues.
"Ahem! A little incident occurred, and we happened to run into each other," An Zhihang lightly coughed, barely holding back a laugh as he explained, "Brother Zhang, where is Niuniu? She left early this morning without breakfast; I wonder if she’s hungry now."
