Chapter 773: Chapter 774: Conscientious and Diligent
Jiang Huan spoke with a face full of smug satisfaction. Recently, sheâs been living a glamorous life in the Jiang Family, much more comfortable than when she was with the Chu Family. She doesnât have to keep to a schedule every day and can be as indulgent as she wants!
At this moment, she was dressed to shine, wearing a dazzling red gown with very elaborate and exaggerated makeup on her face.
Her hair was obviously done with special care, crowned with a crystal tiara, presenting a queen-like style.
Seeing her outfit, she was certainly a standout at the entire event!
But...
This is just a gemstone gambling event, not some awards ceremonyâis there a need to dress this extravagantly? She really doesnât miss a single chance to flaunt herself!
Nianyang shook her head somewhat speechlessly. Having not seen her for a while, Jiang Huanâs intelligence seemed to have dropped even further.
Noticing Nianyangâs speechless expression, Jiang Huan suddenly burst out angrily,
"Chu Nianyang, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me? Donât forget that this is a gemstone gambling site, a gathering of our big corporate people. What are you, an outsider, doing here? Do you qualify to stand here?"
Ruan Weidong stepped out, speaking in a cold tone,
"Miss Jiang Huan, please mind your attitude. Nianyang was invited by me as a Gambling Stone Master, so she certainly has the right to stand here.
Itâs you who doesnât qualify to point fingers at people from the Ruan Family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those around who were laughing fell silent for a moment, then exploded in even greater laughter as they looked at Nianyang.
"Good heavens, is this for real? I thought the Jiang Family invited the Jade King.
For such a big enterprise like the Ruan Family, at the very least, I expected them to invite some famous gambling stone expert.
It turns out they spent all this time to find just a young girl!"
"This is just too comical. Iâve lived so long and never encountered anything so funny. Today Iâve really widened my horizons!"
"Looks like the Ruan Family is really done for. Iâd heard their stocks were plummeting, and I thought the dead camel was still bigger than a horse at least.
Now theyâre actually having a young girl try to fill in.
I bet the Ruan Familyâs already so poor theyâre rattling around like empty cans."
Laughter came from all directions, and Ruan Jinhua was so furious that his eyes turned red. He wanted to refute but felt completely powerless, so he secretly shot several glares at Nianyang when his father wasnât watching!
It was all that sly girlâs fault, persuasive as she was, hoodwinking his father into entrusting her. If she hadnât meddled, they might have still been able to hire a reputable Gambling Stone Master. Even if they lost to the Jiang Family in the end, at least they wouldnât lose face so badly to be ridiculed by everyoneâutterly disgraceful!
Jiang Sheng cast a glance at Nianyang, filled with mockery in his eyes, his tone dripping with sarcasm,
"Patriarch Ruan, even if youâre broke, thereâs no need to be so miserly, hiring a young girl to compete with me.
This makes it like the Jiang Familyâs unworthy of victory, like weâre bullying you. Even though Iâm not a good person, I do have basic principles.
Seeing you all so pitiful, why not just tell me, I could lend you some money, so you can hire a more respectable Gambling Stone Master.
At least it would make this competition a bit more interesting, donât you think?"
Insult, this was blatant insult; the Jiang Family was saying nice things, but their condescending attitude made it seem like the Ruan Family was so poor they had to beg them for money.
