Chapter 776: Chapter 776 You Must Have Mistaken Me for Someone Else

Quan Chengyi, the cousin of the Quan family, had a relationship with Quan Jinbei that could not be described as good; at most, they interacted during the holidays.

However, since the other party had sought him out, Quan Jinbei naturally couldn’t ignore it.

Thus, he started to investigate the list of attendees who had come to the funeral that day.

Of course, it was impossible for everyone who came to the funeral to clearly explain the identity of each person they brought with them.

It was only because Shi Yaoguang took an extra glance that she noticed the woman who was suspected to be Quan Chengyi’s long-lost daughter.

Although...

It looked as if the cousin’s daughter had become someone else’s mistress.

But this sort of matter, without experiencing it personally, Shi Yaoguang would not say much.

Whatever choices one makes, the person who makes those choices must ultimately bear the consequences.

She wouldn’t help bear the consequences; naturally, she wouldn’t point fingers either.

After all, everyone has their own fate.

When Quan Jinbei wanted to find someone, his speed was naturally extremely fast.

The identity of the man from the Mediterranean who had brought the woman suspected to be the Quan family cousin’s daughter that day was quickly determined.

Surprisingly, he was not some newly rich tycoon.

Rather, he was the son of a high-ranking official.

When they found him, he was coincidentally engaged in negotiating a resource event in the entertainment industry.

It was probably the same resource Shi Yaoguang had overheard about last time.

"Third Master, do you need something from me?"

When Jinbei approached, the Mediterranean was still in his own sweet paradise, too happy to think of home.

Upon seeing the expressionless Quan Jinbei, he truly got a fright.

After carefully recalling, and making sure he had not done anything that might offend him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Quan Jinbei looked at the Mediterranean’s anxious expression and greeted him flatly, "I apologize for the intrusion, sorry to disturb Mr. Pang."

"Not at all, not at all," Mr. Pang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at Shi Yaoguang beside him, a fleeting look of admiration in his eyes.

But that glance was all he dared to take.

Withdrawing his gaze, he again inquired about Quan Jinbei’s visit.

Many people knew the principle of "No one visits without a cause."

Mr. Pang was very self-aware, knowing that Quan Jinbei wouldn’t have come to find him if it wasn’t for a reason.

Thus, he had to be fully alert to deal with him.

Quan Jinbei did not plan to beat around the bush and directly asked, "Where is the young lady who accompanied Mr. Pang to the funeral last time?"

Mr. Pang asked uncertainly, "Are you looking for Feifei?"

Quan Jinbei nodded.

He had looked into it beforehand; Mr. Pang indeed had a girl named Feifei by his side.

She had been with him for nearly half a year now.

And recently, he was mostly seen with Feifei.

If Quan Jinbei had come alone, Mr. Pang might have thought that Quan Jinbei had taken a liking to Feifei.

Although Feifei was a pretty girl who suited his tastes.

But if Quan Jinbei wanted her, he couldn’t keep her hidden; without a second word, he would have to let her go.

However...

He didn’t come alone today.

Shi Yaoguang was also there!

Mr. Pang was very familiar with the renowned name of this movie queen.

Naturally, he wasn’t foolish enough to think that Quan Jinbei was interested in Feifei while his wife, Shi Yaoguang, was right by his side, let alone daring to make advances.

There he was, left with no choice but to put on a forced smile and inquire about Quan Jinbei’s purpose in seeking out Feifei.

"Third Master Quan, you’ve come so suddenly, I wasn’t prepared. Feifei, she’s interested in a movie role, and it so happens that she went for a screen test..."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t let him finish before she interjected, "Mr. Pang must have misspoken, right? Feifei should be back from the screen test by now, shouldn’t she?"

As she spoke, she pointed to her own neck.

Mr. Pang instinctively covered his own neck, saying awkwardly, "Yes, yes, yes, Feifei is indeed back, it was my lapse in not choosing my words carefully."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, somewhat reluctantly wanting to invite the two in, "Why don’t you both come inside?"

Standing at the door, they could already detect a certain odor in the air; if they went inside, the smell would probably be even more pungent.

Neither Shi Yaoguang nor Quan Jinbei had any intention of subjecting themselves to that torment and immediately said, "No need to go inside, just get changed and come out quickly."

Mr. Pang nodded repeatedly, "Sure, sure, just give us a moment."

After speaking, he turned and scurried back to the bedroom as if chased by a dog.

Shi Yaoguang snapped her fingers, and the front door automatically closed.

Only then did she turn to Quan Jinbei, "What do you think... if Feifei is really uncle’s daughter, could he accept her?"

Quan Jinbei shook his head, "I don’t know, human nature is ultimately complex. Whether he can accept her or not depends on whether they have a father-daughter bond."

Despite Quan Chengyi spending years searching for his daughter,

knowing that his daughter had willingly debased herself to cater to a man about his own age for the sake of resources in the entertainment industry, whether he could still accept her without a grudge, nobody could say for sure.

While they were talking, Mr. Pang and Feifei both came out dressed.

Because of the rush, Feifei hadn’t even had time to touch up her smudged makeup.

"Mr. Quan, Madam Shi..." Mr. Pang pointed to the woman by his side and introduced, "This is Feifei. What do the two of you seek from her?"

He quickly pondered whether Feifei had done anything to provoke them.

However, he couldn’t think of anything Feifei might have done to offend either of them.

Unable to figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it and asked them directly, which was more straightforward.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at Quan Jinbei and saw that he had only given Feifei a brief look before austerely turning his gaze away; she had no choice but to say, "Someone wants to meet Feifei."

"Who?" Feifei asked instinctively.

It must be said that Feifei was also a striking beauty.

Perhaps the Quan Family’s genes were just that strong. Approaching fifty, Quan Chengyi managed to maintain the look of a handsome middle-aged man. And although his wife was no longer alive, she must have been a beauty as well.

With such genetic foundations, Feifei’s beauty wasn’t at all surprising.

Moreover, her beauty carried a classic, vintage charm.

Different from Shi Yaoguang’s unreserved and vivacious allure, Feifei had a unique flavor about her.

After Feifei instinctively asked the question, she seemed startled, timidly bit her lip, and nervously said, "I... I shouldn’t have spoken..."

Following her apology, Mr. Pang reprimanded, "You should speak less in the presence of Mr. Quan and Madam Shi!"

Continuing, he obsequiously said to the two, "Feifei hasn’t seen much of the world; if there’s anything inappropriate about her behavior, I hope you both can forgive her."

"There’s no need to be so nervous." Shi Yaoguang looked at Feifei, who was bowing her head and explained the situation about the Quan Family uncle, summarizing, "You might be uncle’s daughter."

Upon hearing this, Feifei’s face was filled with a shocked expression.

"Madam Shi, you can’t be joking with me? How could I possibly be your uncle’s estranged daughter? Someone of my lowly status definitely isn’t, you must be mistaken..."
