Chapter 767: Chapter 768: Casual and Simple
It seemed like it wasnât gambling stones, but more like going to have a mealâso casual and simple!
If Nianyang knew Ruan Weidongâs thoughts, she would definitely want to argue that itâs because she has clairvoyance. With such an awesome cheat, even if hundreds of Gambling Stone Masters came, they wouldnât be her match, right?
Nianyang smiled sweetly, "Uncle Ruan, weâve known each other for so long, do you think Iâd joke around about something like this?"
Ruan Weidong looked at Nianyangâs face, which, though young, exuded a unique and convincing energy, and suddenly his nervousness calmed down.
He thought of the first time he met Nianyang, it was at the black market in the town, where he was afflicted by Gu Poison and nearly died.
His wife had no one to turn to, even running to remote villages.
It was by chance that they luckily encountered Nianyang.
At the time, Nianyang was only 17, even thinner and more frail than now, yet she faced all skepticism and ridicule with grace and eventually cured him.
Without being hundred percent certain, she would never draw such a conclusion.
Ruan Weidong clenched his fists, suddenly filled with endless hope, and nodded heavily at Nianyang, "Nianyang, I believe in you, so Iâll leave it to you."
Nianyang smiled. The feeling of being trusted, she really liked it, and solemnly said, "Uncle Ruan, donât worry. You trust me, and I certainly wonât let you down. If I donât achieve it, I will bear all the losses."
Ruan Weidong shook his head, "How can that be, Iâm the one asking for your help, and youâre kindly assisting me. How could I put all the consequences on just you? What kind of person would I be?"
Alright then.
Nianyang smiled without saying anything more and discussed the situation a bit with Ruan Weidong, ensuring he was sent off by the end of the month.
This time, the underground Gambling Stone City ruby event was organized exclusively for the three major families, and each family had to send a gambling stone expert to keep records.
Ruan Weidong submitted Nianyangâs name. The event was supposed to be confidential before it started, but since it had to go through the jurisdictional office, it reached the ears of the second young master of the Shi Family, Shi Feng.
At the time, Shi Feng was in the midst of a passionate moment with his new girlfriend, and when he heard Nianyangâs news, he was momentarily distracted.
Ever since that night when he was cruelly hurt by Nianyang, Shi Feng numbed himself to stop thinking about her.
He continued his carefree ways as the second young master of the Shi family, thinking he had truly forgotten Nianyang, but the moment her name reached his ears again, he instantly sobered up.
The place deep in his heart ached fiercely.
Only then did Shi Feng realize that he had never forgotten Nianyang.
He decisively broke up with his new girlfriend, tidied himself up, and eagerly went to Tongxin Hall to find Nianyang.
Nianyang nearly forgot about Shi Feng, and when she saw him again, she was momentarily stunned before blurting out, "And who might you be?"
Shi Feng, who came with anticipation, felt deflated like a balloon pricked with a needle.
He flushed with anger, "Nianyang, youâre doing this on purpose, arenât you? How could you not remember me? Itâs only been a few days."
Nianyang let out an "oh," "So itâs Second Master Shi, what brings you here?"
Suppressing the unease in his heart, Shi Feng sat down casually in front of Nianyang and said, "I heard youâre going to help the Ruan Family with gambling stones at the end of the month, right? They must have sent you to get me to help you, right?"
