Mr. Zhou could tell right away it was a threat. Sadly, the two men dressed in black suits standing beside him were far more ruthless than Song Zhi.
Mr. Zhou inhaled deeply before lowering his eyes. After a few seconds, he said, “This is genuinely your grandfather’s will. Back in the day, I got greedy and did something stupid. I had already swapped out the original before giving it to you. If you do not believe me, you can send it to the notary for verification and see if it is legally binding.”
They had altered the will through underhanded means and this was a big problem in influential families. Even though Mr. Zhou had taken their money, he had saved himself a way out.
Although over 20 years had passed, he still had to produce the original will.
Song Zhi got startled upon hearing this. He clenched the will so tightly that he nearly ripped it apart. He shook his head as he said in disbelief, “How could that be? Didn’t you give me the… I can’t believe it. How much money did they pay you to say this bullshit?”
The moment he finished his sentence, he lowered his head and tightened his grip on the will wanting to rip it apart.
Chen Ming detected what Song Zhi wanted to do, but he said mildly, “Mr. Song, you can tear it all you want since it is just a photocopy.”
Song Zhi went speechless.
Song Qi took the will from Song Zhi and looked at it. She clearly did not believe it was authentic either. The moment she saw the signature, she looked worried.
It was surprisingly original.
Song Qi inhaled deeply. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Huo Yao. The young girl seemed confident and calm. Everything was under her control. She was completely different from her mother.
Huo Yao raised her brow lazily and glanced at Song Qi. She said softly, “There is no running away for you either.”
Song Qi held her breath upon hearing this. “What are you trying to do?”
Huo Yao flicked her sleeve and looked completely harmless as she replied. “Did you think you were too good to apologize?”
Song Qi looked at Huo Yao coldly.
Huo Yao smiled back at her before her phone rang in her pocket.
After Huo Yao took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, her hands froze briefly. Just as she was about to answer, she could hear a guest speaking in utter astonishment.
“Isn’t that guy from the Min family?”
Huo Yao pulled her finger back. She raised her head and looked at the dignified man standing at the entrance holding a phone in his hand. His aura was so powerful that it was impossible to ignore him.
All the guests at the banquet turned to look at the door. Min Yu hardly interacted with these people or showed his face publicly, so very few people knew him in person.
Even though the chance of anyone knowing him was low, it did not mean no one knew him at all.
Song Qi happened to recognize Min Yu.
She was just talking to Huo Yao when she saw Min Yu standing at the entrance. The moment she spotted Min Yu, she was completely distracted and turned to look at the door.
Song Qi quickly snapped out of her surprise. She pushed Song Zhi with her hand and said excitedly, “I can’t believe you managed to invite Young Master Min!”
Song Zhi had never seen Min Yu before. When he heard what Song Qi said, he opened his eyes wide. “Is he from the Min family?”
“That’s right.” Song Qi nodded. She quickly glanced at him quizzically. “Don’t you know him? Didn’t you invite him to the banquet?”
Song Zhi was at a loss. He shook his head. “Nope. It wasn’t me.”
