Chapter 2427

Because Bei Fengjin didn’t care about the gaze of the secular world, as soon as he arrived, his subconscious thought was to head towards Baili Xia.

It was only when Bei Qingyue intentionally called him to stop that he thought about it for a moment.

Gazing in the direction of Baili Xia, suddenly, the matters previously discussed floated up in his mind.

The issue with You’er still needs investigation.

If they don’t even speak to them, how can they investigate?

“Alright.”

Finally, Bei Fengjin nodded.

Bei Qingyue seemed relieved, let out a gentle breath.

Only then did she support the Old Madam and return to the main seat.

Once everyone was seated in the main seat, the Old Madam looked at him and said calmly, “Feng Jin, for so long you haven’t left Jin Ye Pavilion, never associating with others; I’m surprised you came to the birthday banquet today.”

Although she knew that Bei Fengjin often went to Youyang Pavilion to pay respects to Bei Qingyou, she had always tacitly approved of that.

Apart from Youyang Pavilion, he had hardly been anywhere else in these past dozen years.

Even the main house, he almost never came.

In the first few years, he would occasionally appear, but in the following years, he really never set foot outside.

Bei Fengjin said indifferently, “From now on, I’ll come out more often.”

The Old Madam’s fingertips twitched, not knowing what he meant.

She asked, “Have you let go of the past?”

“What does it matter if I do or not, You’er won’t be coming back anyway.”

The Old Madam was momentarily at a loss for words; this was all her doing.

She had once thought that Bei Fengjin would hate her all his life, and never step out again.

But today, he came out with no warning; has he truly let go?

However, such things were absolutely inappropriate to discuss in this setting.

The Old Madam could only press her thin lips together and say no more.

At this moment, the person who should be happiest was Bei Qingyue.

Bei Fengjin stepping out from the past is exactly what she was delighted to see.

This way, they would have more opportunities to interact.

“Feng Jin, since you’ve come out, why not help me handle some family matters.”

“After all, I am a woman, and it’s not easy to handle many things.”

Before his reclusion, Bei Fengjin had once held an important position in the Miao Domain Group.

Now that he’s out, Bei Qingyue surely wanted to first invite him to join the family business.

Bei Fengjin’s face showed no expression; he didn’t even think before immediately replying, “There’s no need, I’m not interested.”

Bei Qingyue’s words were blocked back, but she didn’t mind.

After all, he had been willing to let go of his career to live a reclusive life over a decade ago; he simply did not care for those empty titles.

“Alright, I’ll go sit over there.”

Bei Fengjin seemed to feel he had stayed long enough and planned to move on.

He stood up, turned directly, and walked toward Baili Xia.

The few people at the main seat were stunned on the spot, not expecting him to just leave like that.

Seeing him walk to Baili Xia’s table, Bei Fengjin’s face softened a bit.

Bei Qingyue was even more sure that it was indeed because of this girl that he was willing to come out.

A wave of jealousy inexplicably rose in her heart, and her gaze towards Baili Xia grew a bit colder.

Bei Fengjin sat down next to Baili Xia, and the two were just about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the courtyard gate.

A middle-aged man in his forties with a rugged face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes appeared.

He was dressed in a tailored gray suit with a white shirt, exuding an air of elegance amidst his sternness.

Beside him stood two people.

A young man in his twenties, bearing some resemblance to the middle-aged man.

Beside them stood a young girl, around eighteen or nineteen years old, although beautiful, she seemed difficult to get along with.

Seeing the newcomers, Bei Fengjin’s brow suddenly furrowed.
