Chapter 49: Let Her Collect It Personally
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If they had not canceled the engagement previously, would the outcome have been different?
“Wake up, Yuning. She’s not coming back. Your sister went to invite her personally, but she didn’t come over. Haven’t you seen it clearly? She’s fooling around with Lu Yunxiao now. You’ve been lying unconscious in the ward for so many days, but she hasn’t come to see you.”
Mrs. Xu’s words were heartbreaking. Xu Yuning rubbed his messy hair and frowned. “She won’t. How could she…”
“Why not? Yuning, look at you now. You’re dying for a woman.” Mrs. Xu expected better from him. At this moment, Xu Pingping opened the door and walked in. Mrs. Xu took a look and said, “You’re back at the right time. Didn’t you go to the Jiang family just now? Tell me, what did she say?”
Xu Yuning looked over and gripped the blanket with both hands, hoping to hear that it was not what Mrs. Xu said.
“Sister Jiang told me a lot. She also made it clear that she won’t come back. Brother, don’t be stubborn.”
Xu Yuning loosened his grip on the blanket, as if he had lost all his strength.
On the other side, in Lu Yunxiao’s small group.
Lin Feng: “Jiang Youtian used her alternate account to bet a million yuan on her sister not going. She made a killing this time.”
Lu Yunxiao: “I’ve placed a bet too.”
Lin Feng: “You’re really shameless. Why are you doing this?”
Lu Yunxiao said, “She already placed it. Why can’t I do the same?”
Wang Jiangbei: “What the hell? She bet on herself? Which stupid dealer sold it to her?”
Lu Yunxiao said, “She created a small account, but no one found out. 1 just went to take a look. It’s the Wu family’s deal.”
Lin Feng: “The show’s effect is maxed out, haha. Wu Chen probably didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”
In fact, this money was nothing to the Wu family, but it was a little unethical for the person involved to participate in the competition.
Ocean City, in an underground bank.
“Brother Chen, there’s a problem. There’s an uproar on the Internet. It says that the new account that bet three million yuan is Jiang Youyi herself. If she does this, we have every reason not to pay.”
“It’s fine. Transfer the money to her. We’ve been betting for so many years. We can’t lose our credibility because of this.” Wu Chen said indifferently. A mere 15 million yuan was nothing to him.
“Then, are you going to let her take the money so easily?”
The most helpless thing was that although they knew that the alternate account was Jiang Youyi herself, there was no direct evidence to point to her. It was too frustrating to suffer in silence.
“Of course, but there’s a prerequisite. Let her come and take it herself.”
Wu Chen’s reputation in Ocean City was not small. He was also one of the three aristocratic families. The Wu family had once relied on real estate to soar and earn a lot of money. Although he was not as rich as the Lu family, he was still an unattainable existence in Ocean City.
However, he did not expect to be tricked by a little girl today. Now that there was an uproar outside, it was almost certain that the account was Jiang Youyi. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the guts to bet three million unless they were crazy.
After the news was released, the outside world was in an uproar again. There were only two voices. They doubted Wu Chen’s morality, but in fact, they did not want to pay this 15 million. Secondly, would Jiang Youyi come? That was 15 million yuan. If she didn’t come, the previous three million yuan would be wasted!
Amidst the abyss of suffering, in a private restaurant.
Lin Feng invited Lu Yunxiao and Wang Jiangbei to dinner. Although the game was small, it could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort. Lin Feng knew what the two of them liked. He instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes and a pot of fine wine.
“Generous, boss, but it’s a little unusual. Are you trying to borrow money?” Wang Jiangbei said with a faint smile.
“Bullsh*t, do 1 look like I’m short of money?”
Lu Yunxiao didn’t say anything and ate quietly. Lin Feng patted Lu Yunxiao’s shoulder and asked, “Brother Lu, do you know about the Wu family’s bank recently?”
Lin Feng was referring to the matter of Jiang Youyi changing her alternate account to bet. Lu Yunxiao’s expression did not change. “Didn’t you say that?” “Do you think Jiang Youyi will ask Wu Chen for money?”
“I don’t know.”
“Brother Lu, you’re spoiling the mood! Just say it.”
“Do you think I know Jiang Youyi very well?” Lu Yunxiao picked up his food unhurriedly.
“Didn’t you carry her to the second floor to conspire that day?”
Wang Jiangbei burst into laughter.
“Old Jiang, what do you think?” Lu Yunxiao suddenly asked.
Wang Jiangbei was silent for a moment before he said, “I think she will go. From the fact that she broke off the engagement, 1 can tell that she doesn’t care about what others think. She doesn’t seem like someone who will give up three million yuan..”
