Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 215 Hongmen Banquet

"Who is making such a commotion at our doorstep? What are you security guards doing here? If anyone can make such a commotion at our doorstep, then where is the dignity of our Ming family?" Meng Zhiling was just about to take action when a man's voice came from inside. Judging from the voice, it should be Ming Jue.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the righteous-looking man appeared at the door, staring coldly at the two security guards in front of Meng Zhiling.

"Young Master, it's the young lady and her friends!" A security guard spoke up boldly. If he didn't exonerate himself at this time, no one would feel good after offending anyone. He was smart enough to have heard some rumors and knew that Ming Jue, Ming Yu and others had always had a bad relationship with Meng Zhiling, so it was a wise move to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Of course, this was just a little trick in his mind.

"You bastard, if you were blind, would I be talking nonsense here with you? Today I just want to ask, do you know me or these two? If you know them, why are you blocking us from entering?" Meng Zhiling raised her hand, and everyone heard the sound of a loud slap on the face. The man was slapped twice by Meng Zhiling, and his whole body spun around twice before he stopped and held onto a small tree next to him.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, young lady, I was wrong. Please don't hold my fault against me. I will never do it again..." The man covered his face and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake. People in their line of work have seen all kinds of people and these scenes are common, so even if they are beaten, they will quickly find ways to deal with it.

"Okay, Zhiling, don't bother with these people. Let's go in together. Welcome, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Yuan. We are honored to host you two today. Our Ming family's small house is really glorious." Ming Jue didn't even look at the security guard, but changed the subject randomly. He said it so nicely, and the meaning was obvious. He just wanted Meng Zhiling to give face to his uncle.

"Haha, Mr. Ming, you are much more sensible than these people, right, Yongkai? What do you think? Is this face worth selling to Mr. Ming?" Meng Zhiling did not answer him, but just looked at Yuan Yongkai with a smile and threw this difficult problem to him.

After all, with her temper, if Ming Jue had not come out just now, she really wanted to cause two deaths in front of the Ming family's door. But now, let Yuan Yongkai do it himself to save face.

Anyway, one of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy, so the Ming family will have no fault to blame when the time comes.

"Okay, let's go in. Mr. Ming should be waiting." Yuan Yongkai shook his head. Knowing what she was thinking, he shook his head and followed Ming Jue into the Ming family.

Meng Zhiling held Qiao Surong's arm, as if she was attending a grand party, but there was no smile on her face. She was probably still unhappy about what had just happened.

"Okay, wife, calm down. You will take care of it later. Don't worry about those two little shrimps." Qiao Surong lowered his head and said in Meng Zhiling's ear.

Meng Zhiling felt a little better. Qiao Surong was right. The "main course" would begin soon. How could she let the whole situation be affected by a small sesame seed she had lost before?

"Zhiling, Su Rong, you're here!" Ming Shunde greeted them naturally and familiarly, calling Qiao Surong "Su Rong". If you didn't know, you would have thought Qiao Surong had changed his address to "grandfather". "Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be here too. Please take a seat. What brings you here? Our Ming family is so lucky."

When it comes to dealing with people, Mingjue is far inferior to his father. His tone of voice and his ability to flatter are simply first-rate. He will never let any guest feel that they are being treated differently. He can always grasp the right measure and difference.

Meng Zhiling pulled Qiao Surong to sit down, and just nodded quietly no matter who greeted her, as if she, the youngest, had become the most distinguished guest in the whole place.

On the other hand, Yuan Yongkai is much more "sensible". Whenever anyone greets him, he pretends to be very patient and familiar. If he were a woman, he would definitely be a social butterfly.

"Mr. Ming, you don't have to be so polite. Zhiling is my friend and colleague. It should be an honor for me that she invites me to her home."

Meng Zhiling made a face at Qiao Surong, meaning that she really couldn't stand Yuan Yongkai's polite words anymore, and Qiao Surong just shook his head helplessly, held her hand, and told her not to worry.

"Hey, old fox, I'm here to attend the Hongmen Banquet today. Just tell me what you want to say. I'm in a hurry." Meng Zhiling really couldn't stand a table of people sitting around the food and chatting without eating. Even Qiao Surong was dragged away to "socialize". So when she couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her voice to the maximum and spoke arrogantly.

Suddenly, the laughter in the audience stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Zhiling, and then they looked at Ming Shunde cautiously to see how this so-called old fox would react.

Ming Yi was the only one there. Since Meng Zhiling entered the room, he had been pouring wine and drinking it by himself, one glass after another, without stopping.

"Hahaha, little girl, you know this is the Hongmen Banquet, and you still dare to come?" Ming Shunde was not angry, but asked with a smile.

"Because I came here to watch the show, to see what else you can do. First you bit me with a poisonous snake, and then you sent a giant shark to attack me. Unfortunately, the King of Hell won't take my life. If he really wanted to take my life, I would have been dead at this time last year. What other tricks do you have? Just use them." Meng Zhiling said lightly, and then she knocked on the bowl in front of her with chopsticks, quietly observing Mingjue's expression.

Sure enough, before Ming Shunde could say anything, Ming Jue suddenly stood up and said, "What giant shark? Don't slander us. We didn't do that."

"Oh, Mr. Ming, your words remind me. You deny that the giant shark's attack was not arranged by you. Does that mean you admit that the snake bit me on purpose?" Meng Zhiling would not give the other party a surprise when she got the chance. Ming Jue was usually a steady and cautious person. Today, for some reason, he felt irritated and panicked when he saw Meng Zhiling's eyes. He stood up and said some words that were not very appropriate to the situation.

"How did I admit it? I don't know anything about poisonous snakes." Ming Jue immediately retorted. Indeed, he didn't know anything about whether a snake was poisonous or not.

However, this rebuttal made Meng Zhiling realize his guilty conscience even more. "Mr. Ming, don't be nervous. I know you don't know anything about the venomous snake. After all, you only know about the giant shark, right?" Meng Zhiling smiled slightly and turned around to comfort the excited Ming Jue. However, the second half of her sentence was thought-provoking.

"Okay, Mingjue, go get my treasured bottle of wine. I want to treat Su Rong and Mr. Yuan well today. Although Su Rong and I are relatives, today is the only chance for us to have a meal together, not to mention Mr. Yuan." Ming Shunde saw that his little son was sweating on his forehead under the aggressive pressure of Meng Zhiling. He stepped forward to mediate, otherwise things would really develop into a situation that was difficult to control.

Mingjue also looked at his father gratefully and quickly ran away from the table.

Meng Zhiling looked at his back, a slight smile on her lips. She knew exactly what Old Master Ming was up to. It was just a bottle of wine; was there any need for the young master to go get it himself? Did the family hire so many servants just to earn money for charity?

"Excuse me, old fox. I'm going to the bathroom." Meng Zhiling said and left the table.

Ming Shunde looked nervously at the direction she left, and finally felt relieved after seeing her back as she turned into the bathroom. He then turned the topic back to Yuan Yongkai, asking about his well-being endlessly.

It was true that Meng Zhiling went to the bathroom, but it was also true that she went to find Mingjue.

With a flash, there was no one in the toilet anymore. The person had already appeared in Ming Shunde's room. Looking at Ming Jue who was standing in front of the wine rack, he coughed slightly, which scared Ming Jue so much that he immediately put down the wine in his hand, mobilized all his attention, and turned around vigilantly.

"You, you, you, why are you here too?" Perhaps because he had done something wrong, Mingjue always had an instinctive fear of Meng Zhiling today.

Perhaps he thought that since she had defeated even a giant shark, this person was simply a devil. How could he, with his bare hands, be her opponent?

"I came to see you, and by the way, to see if you would poison our wine." Meng Zhiling picked up the bottle he had just put down, opened the lid, and flicked the edge with her fingernails intentionally or unintentionally. Then she sniffed it, praising the wine, and then closed the lid. "Okay, I've seen it, you can take it."

After Meng Zhiling finished speaking, she left first, and then appeared in the bathroom again the next second. She deliberately let the surveillance camera at the bathroom door capture her coming out of the bathroom, with a smile on her face.

"Ming Jue, look, I'm going to kill you today." Meng Zhiling thought fiercely in her heart. She wanted not only to take his life, but also his reputation. She wanted to crush the reputation that their Ming family valued most to the ground and trample on it mercilessly.

When Mingjue brought out the wine, Meng Zhiling was already sitting properly beside the dining table. She finally felt relieved and took the wine to her father.

"What are you standing there for? Pour some for Mr. Yuan and Su Rong first." Ming Shunde was very dissatisfied with his youngest son's performance today, but he couldn't count on his eldest son either. So he left such an important task of flattery to Ming Jue. He hoped that Yuan Yongkai could say a few good words to his father in the future. By then, when Ming Jue was promoted to a higher level, their Ming family would become a true aristocracy and would no longer be subject to anyone's disapproval.

Mingjue filled everyone's glasses one by one. Of course, as the one drinking with them, he also had to pour one.

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Qiao, this is my way of showing hospitality. I welcome you and toast you." He raised his glass and said this without many business pleasantries. The kid who came out of the military camp was straightforward.
