Chapter 587: Chapter 382: Something Unknown Happened_2

"He didn’t say? What on earth is he thinking?"

"Maybe he’s worried that if other people find out, they might stab him in the back for their own benefit?"

"Tsk, knowing my Uncle Feng Yi as I do, that’s certainly possible."

Uncle Feng Yi puts his interests above all else; if he thinks Feng Yi could bring him greater benefit, it’s very likely that he would stab his own father in the back!

After all, having been suppressed by his father for so many years, he’s grown impatient. Just like those historical tales, where Crown Princes were suppressed for decades, how many of them didn’t turn out twisted?

The banquet hall was vast, divided into both an open-air and an indoor section.

Inside, a few of the older, high-ranking elders sat together, and Liang Shaoqi’s grandfather was among them.

Some, having seen the way Liang’s father and Liang Shaozhen behaved towards Feng Yi, curiously asked Old Man Liang, "Is that the grandson Old Man Feng expelled from the Feng Family?"

Old Man Liang chuckled, "Don’t put it so harshly. When children grow up, they need to go out and forge their own paths."

The person did not agree with Old Man Liang’s opinion.

Having known Old Man Feng for many years, he might have differing views on other matters, but when it came to dealing with descendants, he always felt more empathy. From his perspective, he certainly wouldn’t want to see his progeny acting against his wishes.

Just as he was about to criticize from the perspective of an elder, a voice from an old friend next to him chimed in:

"That Old Man Feng, sigh! I don’t even know what to say about his temper! He’s impossible to persuade!"

"At his age, still quibbling with the young. They’re his own grandsons; why can’t things be discussed properly? It’s too extreme! No wonder that kid is alienated from him!"

"I’ve told Old Feng long ago, that’s not how you raise a child. He’s just too stubborn!"

The man who had intended to criticize slowly came back to his senses, listening to what his friends were saying.

He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, and his thinking and savviness didn’t compare to the others, but he wasn’t stupid.

The old bunch seated here had not always spoken like this!

But such a quick change in tune was worth pondering!

An elder sitting close to him, with whom he had a good relationship, leaned over to whisper a few words to him.

The man’s carefully groomed long eyebrows twitched, he coughed lightly, and sighed, "The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

Criticizing?

What criticism?

Old Feng is just too stubborn!

How could he treat his own grandson like that?!

Alas!!!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Not long after Feng Yi entered, he spotted Feng Chi, dressed up like a playboy.

The very latest luxury brand collection, blending opulent elements with intricate details, coupled with Feng Chi’s aura, made him look even more ostentatious.

However, Feng Chi wasn’t in a good mood at the moment, and it was only upon seeing Feng Yi that a smile appeared on his face.

"What’s wrong? Not a pleasant chat?" asked Feng Yi.

"Ah, been grafting in the business world, and now I can’t even have a good talk with some old friends I seldom meet!" Feng Chi tried to strike a sorrowful 45-degree tilt of the head, but was dazzled by the light next to him.

"How about we change places? Got any ideas?" asked Feng Chi.

"You have ideas?" Feng Yi responded.

Feng Yi’s attendance at the banquet was actually aimed at networking – not to make new acquaintances but to recognize who was still active in the scene.

He had mentioned this intention to Feng Chi as well.

"It’s too noisy here; let’s find somewhere else to talk. I’ll introduce you to whomsoever is attending tonight’s banquet. Come, I’ll take you to a spot I have my eye on; otherwise, we’ll be too late and someone else might snatch it."

Not long after, the two arrived at a rustic-looking high platform with a wild charm. It was very popular during the day, but at night, it was not a bustling spot.

Although measures to prevent mosquitoes and other insects had been taken in advance for the birthday banquet, given the location and the recent temperature, some active flying insects and crawling critters were still present at night.

"Perfect, no one’s taken it!" Feng Chi hurriedly climbed up.

However, Feng Yi could tell from the scents in the area that three groups of people had been there not long before, but had quickly left.

In fact, it wasn’t that no one had found this spot; rather, they left swiftly after encountering insects and crawlers at night.

Feeling a flying insect approach, Feng Yi’s pupils shifted imperceptibly, sending undetectable pheromones scattering around.

Feng Chi, completely unaware of this, didn’t notice that after they came up, the nearby flying insects and crawlers either quickly moved away or hid in inconspicuous crevices or behind the foliage of branches.

Feng Chi was an excellent commentator; he was not only able to identify the guests but also provided vivid gossip about them. No matter whether the information was public or collected rumors, Feng Chi recounted it to Feng Yi in lively detail.

The Liang Family’s birthday banquet did not impose too many restrictions on the young people, but they also arranged dining tables and seats for some esteemed guests.

The Liang Family had specifically arranged a seat for Feng Yi, but found that he was nowhere to be found.

Liang Shaoqi called Feng Yi and was informed that he was with Feng Chi, having found an excellent spot to watch the festivities and would not be joining them at the dining tables.

If Liang Shaoqi could have seen him in person, he would certainly have persuaded him to join the seating, but as it was, he hadn’t caught even a glimpse of him and it was not convenient to say too much over the phone.

Liang Shaoqi cursed Feng Chi all the way in his mind.

Where the hell did you take him?!

Feng Chi, who was silently cursed by Liang Shaoqi, was sharing his insights on attending the Liang Family’s banquets with Feng Yi. Before starting, however, he had Feng Yi hold their spot while he quickly ran to the buffet area, returned with two heaping plates of food, and continued their conversation at the satisfying viewing platform while eating.

Feng Chi said, "Uncle Liang is quite casual. I heard he disliked constraints when he was young and even wanted to apply to the performing arts college in high school. He was almost my senior in the industry! He’s also invested in several talented young directors, and this ’patron’ has a very good reputation in the circle!"

For the birthday banquet, Old Man Liang also invited several celebrities to perform on the stage that had been set up.

Old Man Liang enjoyed listening to songs and watching TV. Regardless of the artist’s age, if he found them pleasing to the eye, liked their music, or was satisfied with their acting, he would actively offer them resources.

There were many artists and celebrities present today, and not all who volunteered to perform on stage did so, only a few were chosen as representatives due to time constraints.

Among these artists and celebrities, many had seen Feng Yi at the event earlier, and some had noticed the attitude of the Liang Family father and son towards him.

The astute among them had already sensed something different.

However, they couldn’t decipher it.

Hoping to find more clues from the arrangement of seats at the dining tables, they were surprised to find that Feng Yi had not taken his seat!

After the important parts of the banquet passed and the atmosphere relaxed, some guests no longer sat at their tables but moved between them.

At this time, Feng Chi’s mother was quietly talking with a highly respected elderly lady.

Ever since her family’s signature facial mask became popular, it had brought her not only money and fame but also connections.

In the past, this lady would not have chatted with her so patiently.

However, during their conversation, the lady looked at her with a strange expression without specifying the reason.

Feng Chi’s mother noticed this detail and concluded the conversation naturally, seeing that the other party did not wish to elaborate, and did not inquire further. She didn’t show it, but her mind was bustling:

There must have been something they didn’t know about!

Recalling the topic mentioned when that lady showed an unusual reaction...

Feng Chi’s mother furrowed her brows slightly and took out her phone to send a message to her husband, asking him to stay alert and look for any information they might have overlooked.

She considered sending a message to Feng Chi as well; although he seemed muddled, he had a certain ability to dig up information. But after some hesitation, she decided against it.

Something that even that elderly lady found unsettling was definitely beyond Feng Chi’s grasp.

She quickly browsed through the unread messages on her phone but still couldn’t find the answer.

Putting away her phone, she put on a perfect smile and continued to mingle with the other female guests, hoping to uncover some clues.

What on earth could have caused these highly reputable individuals to show unusual behavior?
