Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1601: Chapter 1343: Wan Yi, He Is Here

The arrival of Milos instantly captured the attention of the remaining guests who hadn’t yet entered the castle. Their gazes were subtly curious as many whispered among themselves.

”Someone from the Hawk Family is here, and it’s none other than the eldest daughter!”

”I heard that the Hawk Family has been facing business problems lately, and their stock prices have plummeted!”

”I heard they offended someone!”

”Really? Who would have such power? Isn’t Mr. Soruns backing the Hawk Family?”

”I’m not sure, but this time, it seems Mr. Soruns is ignoring them as well!”

”Hush, don’t speak recklessly! Even if the Hawk Family’s business faces setbacks, they’re not ones we can afford to provoke. As the saying goes, ’A starved camel is still bigger than a horse!’”

As Milos approached, those voices quietly ceased.

The elderly butler respectfully welcomed Milos inside, and Milos, in turn, treated the butler with more courtesy than her usual aloofness.

Once Milos entered the castle, the butler continued to gaze in that direction, muttering to himself words only he could hear, ”I thought the Hawk Family would be absent, but who would have thought the eldest daughter would come! This time, the important young generation of the three major families in the alcohol industry is all here!”

The ground floor of the castle was crowded, with hundreds of people gathered together.

Many waiters moved among them, holding trays.

Ferro Winery’s top-notch red wine, grape wine, and specially formulated cocktails were offered for guests to sample at will.

However, each guest tacitly only tasted these wines lightly.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the formal start of the wine tasting event.

It was said that a mysterious new wine would make its debut!

”I heard that this time, Ferro Winery invited Master Owen from the Alcohol Industry Association to brew the wine!”

”Master Owen! He hasn’t participated in such private winery brewing activities for a long time. As far as I know, no less than seven or eight renowned wineries have invited him!”

”So what’s going on this time?”

”I don’t know!”

”I also heard that the most outstanding female brewer and top bartender from the Alcohol Industry Association joined with a mysterious recipe for this new wine!”

”Oh, then I must try this new wine later!”

”There are so many people here; will we get a chance later?”

”We should! After all, Mr. Antonio is the most generous and magnanimous host!”

”I’m getting more and more excited!”

Guests all around couldn’t help but engage in lively discussions.

After Milos entered with her bodyguard Harrison, she didn’t stop at all and hurriedly ascended to the second floor via a side staircase.

Guests have different statuses and their own circles, so placing them together isn’t always a good thing.

The second floor was reserved for VIPs, with private rooms.

Even though Milos walked quickly, many people still noticed her, naturally sparking some discussions.

It’s not that people from prestigious families are inherently conspicuous; it’s because Milos, along with her brother Andrew, had always been especially high-profile. With the Hawk Family recently embroiled in significant events, they became the focus of attention.

Other family heirs, though possessing similarly remarkable statuses, didn’t attract such gossip and commotion.

For instance, Allen White.

At this moment, he was sitting in a corner on the ground floor with three others, sipping wine and chatting.

Unfortunately, Milos was in such a rush that she didn’t notice the corner on the ground floor, where the man she had been pursuing tirelessly for the past half month, Bai Xiaosheng, was sitting, and Bai Xiaosheng also didn’t see her.

This time, Milos wasn’t busy looking for Bai Xiaosheng but came for the wine event, which had its reasons.

Firstly, Antonio’s new wine launch was attracting attention from all over the alcohol industry, and it was rumored that the heads of the Feng Family and White Family would come as well.

Old Hawk was busy saving his own life, unable to attend himself, and Milos, being conveniently in the area, had to come on behalf of her father.

Secondly, Milos thought that Bai Xiaosheng might come.

Because Antonio is a friend of Mr. Soruns!

If Mr. Soruns came to support the event, Bai Xiaosheng would most likely appear!

Once she got to the second floor, Milos busied herself looking through the private rooms, hoping for an ”unexpected surprise.”

If she indeed encountered Bai Xiaosheng and Soruns, she would beseech them even humbly in public if necessary!

The family situation was dire, as long as Bai Xiaosheng was willing to spare them and lend a hand, she would agree to any condition!

In the past half month, her father, Old Hawk, also promised increasingly favorable concessions, in a plea to save the Hawk Family.

After checking several rooms, Milos didn’t find Bai Xiaosheng but encountered the Feng Family Siblings.

”Miss Milos!” Feng Moyu’s eyes brightened upon seeing her, smiling as he approached proactively.

Feng Moyu had always had a crush on Milos, even hoping his father would arrange a match between him and Milos.

Unfortunately, Milos always held herself too high, showing little interest in him.

But Feng Moyu remained as enthusiastic as ever.

Feng Moyan also subtly shifted her gaze, smiling calmly as she approached.

The misfortunes of the Hawk Family gave Feng Moyan a slight sense of schadenfreude. Although ordinarily, they were like close sisters, warmly embracing each other, ultimately, their families were business rivals.

Seeing a competitor’s misfortunes undeniably brought a bit of joy.

”Moyu, Moyan.” Milos forced a smile upon seeing the siblings.

”It’s great to see you could come. We’ve heard about the Hawk Family’s issues. Our Feng Family has already extended our condolences to Uncle Hawk, expressing that we could offer maximum assistance, as our families have always been good friends for generations.” Feng Moyu almost pounded his chest as he said this, speaking as if he were the head of the Feng Family.

”Indeed. Our three families share mutual interests in the wine industry; we can’t just stand by.” Feng Moyan added sincerely.

In truth, such verbal offers meant nothing.

To help, their Feng Family would have to make significant sacrifices for the Hawk Family!

However, the Feng Family still dared not kick someone when they’re down, as the Hawk Family wasn’t dead yet!

The Hawk Family still held basic business channels and market shares!

Milos smiled gratefully, understanding well but maintaining appearances.

”I heard that Mr. Antonio’s new wine this time is being crafted with the help of your Feng Family’s young lady. This tasting event is just an unveiling; this wine is set to participate in the wine industry expo later. Once it sparks interest, the wealth will flow in. You have great advantages in collaborating with Mr. Antonio.” Milos said with a smile.

Listening to Milos’s words, Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan should have been pleased, but thinking about their family’s adopted woman helping to brew wine here, their smiles became somewhat forced, seeming less able to be cheerful.

The Feng Family, wealthy and powerful, could provide all kinds of benefits. That woman, despite being unwilling to carry the Feng name, still had Feng blood running through her veins. Why couldn’t she brew the wine with the Feng Family!

If she did so, and the new wine became a sensation, the market would be the Feng Family’s alone!

Why come here and share the profit with others!

Milos inwardly smirked, considering it a small ”payback” for the Feng siblings’ feigned sincerity.

Of course, on the surface, the three remained harmonious.

”Milos, I saw many handsome gentlemen around our age earlier, some of whom are really handsome and others with quite the backgrounds. Shall we go meet them together?” Feng Moyan, wanting to shift the topic, took Milos’s arm and said with a smile.

Feng Moyu was displeased as soon as he heard this.

Wasn’t his sister sabotaging him?

She knew he liked Milos.

”How could Milos be interested in those people...” Feng Moyu started.

Milos had always been aloof, not even sparing him a glance.

”Our peers, you say!”

To Feng Moyu’s surprise, Milos’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she immediately said, ”Sure! Let’s go meet those handsome men of remarkable status around our age!”

Feng Moyu was dumbfounded.

Faced with Milos’s unexpected ”enthusiasm,” even Feng Moyan was quite surprised.

Only Milos knew what she truly wanted to find—

What if Bai Xiaosheng was there!
