Chapter 1179: He Was Here

Song Qi was stunned. She quickly said, “Now is not the time to discuss this. Go over and welcome him first.”

Song Zhi finally snapped out of his shock and nodded. After straightening out his clothes, he disregarded Mr. Zhou, Chen Ming, and Huo Yao and headed straight for the entrance.

Song Qi wanted to go with him but it was inappropriate for a woman to welcome Min Yu. Moreover, there were things she had to settle. She turned to look at Huo Yao sternly. “This stops now. Even if there is anything else you want to say, it will have to wait since an important guest is here. We must be good hosts.”

Song Qi glanced around the hall and waved her subordinate over before Huo Yao could speak. She told her subordinate to take Huo Yao backstage.

All eyes were on Min Yu, so no one was looking Huo Yao’s way. No one cared about the audio clip, will, or the lawyer.

Song Qi felt relieved.

She did not know who invited Min Yu, but his appearance might just help to save the Song family’s reputation.

No matter what happened tonight, no one would dare to look down on the Song family now that someone from the Min clan had graced the banquet.

Song Zhi quickly walked up in front of Min Yu. He bowed to him reverently. “Young Master Min, welcome to the banquet. This way, please.”

Min Yu was holding his phone without the slightest expression on his gorgeous face. He glanced at Song Zhi mildly and entered the hall at Song Zhi’s invitation.

Song Zhi’s palms broke out in cold sweat when Min Yu glanced at him. He was beside himself with joy. Min Yu never attended social events. Now that Min Yu had graced the banquet, Song Zhi had the opportunity to get acquainted with him. If Song Zhi’s plans succeeded, everyone would think highly of the Song family.

Song Zhi suppressed his thoughts and quickly followed Min Yu. He frowned when he caught Huo Yao still standing in the same spot. Then, he reached his hand out to guide Min Yu in another direction in the hall. “Young Master Min, this way, please.”

However, it felt as though all Song Zhi’s words were sucked into a black hole.

Song Zhi watched as Min Yu walked toward his niece without so much as looking sideways and could not help feeling puzzled.

Song Zhi glanced at Song Qi. Since Song Qi seemed to know Min Yu, he threw the thought out of his mind. Min Yu must be walking over to Song Qi since he knew her.

Song Qi was still telling her men to take Huo Yao backstage. She was speaking forcefully and was clearly impatient.

When Min Yu walked over, Song Qi finally composed herself and smiled graciously as she greeted Min Yu. “Young Master Min, how do you do?”

Min Yu did not look at her. Instead, he looked straight at Huo Yao with hardly any expression on his face. The moment he saw Huo Yao, the coldness in his eyes disappeared.

Song Qi was surprised when Min Yu kept looking at Huo Yao. She asked in disbelief. “Young Master Min, this is my niece. Do you know her?”

Min Yu narrowed his eyes and finally looked Song Qi straight in the eyes. “Do I know you?”

Song Qi held her breath in shock when Min Yu made eye contact with her. It felt so cold that it seemed as though she was in an ice cellar.

Rumor had it that Min Yu was an eccentric man and hard to get along with. From the looks of it, it was true.

Song Qi inhaled deeply and suppressed the tremble in her voice as she replied. “I am Song Qi. My husband is from the Ji family.”
