Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Young Master Hua is Stunned (3)

"Who are you?" An Yiqing thought for a long time but couldn’t recall where she had seen this Young Master Hua before.

"Miss An, it’s only natural that you haven’t seen me. At the last engagement ceremony between you and Young Master Gu, I attended by basking in the glory of my third maternal great-uncle. The event was truly spectacular!" Young Master Hua rubbed his hands together, looking uneasy.

The more An Yiqing listened, the more confused she became, "Wait, who is your third maternal great-uncle?"

Young Master Hua’s face froze for a moment before he hastily explained, "Oh look at my memory, I do apologize, Miss An. I didn’t make myself clear. My third maternal great-uncle is that person up there." He pointed upward and continued, "My mother is a distant relative of my third maternal great-uncle. Basking in his glory, we have lived quite prosperously these years. My name is Hua Ming. A while ago when you and Young Master Gu got engaged, I attended to see both of your graces under my third maternal great-uncle’s glory. It was truly a sight to behold! I’m really sorry about today’s incident, truly sorry! I’m not very familiar with these two, they are just nodding acquaintances."

Now, An Yiqing had clarity. Indeed, Hua Zhifeng had a few distant relatives, but in the past few years, Hua Zhifeng’s status had been somewhat unstable, so these relatives always avoided association with him whenever possible. However, a few years ago, Hua Zhifeng gained the support of the Gu and An Families and his fortune turned, causing those distant relatives to start buttering up to him.

Yet Hua Zhifeng never gave these relatives any favor, treating them as if they were invisible. But they say a person’s shadow and a tree’s name carry weight; even if Hua Zhifeng disregarded these relatives, outsiders could not ignore them. So this Young Master Hua would often boast about Hua Zhifeng being his third maternal great-uncle, and he managed to make quite a name for himself as a notorious figure in Xuandu City.

In fact, those truly at the heart of power knew that Hua Zhifeng didn’t even seem quite sure who Hua Ming was, let alone acknowledge him as any kind of great-uncle!

Looking at Hua Ming’s ingratiating face, An Yiqing couldn’t help but silently reflect that the old saying is true: every family has its own difficult scripture to recite, even the Sovereign of Xuanjin Country cannot escape from such worldly customs.

Huang Yiyi, who had been slapped, along with Chen Feng and several other men, were all stunned by Hua Ming’s flattering behavior, especially Huang Yiyi. With little wit and even less knowledge about the influential people at the center of power, each time she came to Xuandu City, all she would do was discuss brands with other famous ladies and young masters, and talk about her latest purchases.

Therefore, even now, Huang Yiyi still hadn’t figured out why Hua Ming was so respectful to her two enemies.

However, Huang Yiyi’s ignorance didn’t mean that Chen Feng and the others didn’t understand. Though they weren’t qualified to enter the inner circle of power, everyone in Xuandu City knew the well-established names of Third Young Master Gu, Gu Yelin, and An Yiqing.

At that moment, even Chen Feng, who fancied Huang Yiyi, couldn’t help but curse her inwardly as an omen of misfortune.

"Gu, Young Master Gu, Miss An, I’m so sorry!" Chen Feng hurriedly stepped forward a few paces and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle in front of Gu Yelin and An Yiqing, "I was blind and failed to recognize your excellence. Please, Young Master Gu and Miss An, have mercy and forgive me this once. I’m truly sorry!"

Seeing Chen Feng apologizing, the other men also eagerly stepped forward, nodding and bowing incessantly, almost ready to kneel and knock their heads on the ground for Gu Yelin and An Yiqing.

The sudden 360-degree turn of events left Manager Pang, Sister Wang, and Yu Xiaoyu gaping in surprise, their mouths agape and their eyes wide with disbelief at the unfolding scene.

Yu Xiaoyu was rather composed; she was simply amazed that the guest she was serving had such a noble identity, yet was so approachable.
