<strong>Chapter 759: Chapter 0761: Meeting Again</strong>
Yuwen Kangli chuckled, he just couldn’t help himself.
“You’ve finally met your match today, and of all things, it’s a woman.”
Gongsun Linhua red at him, “If you keepughing, I’m not telling you anything.”
Yuwen Kangli gestured with his hand, “Okay, okay, you talk, I’ll stopughing.”
Yuwen Kangli stifled hisughter and continued listening to Gongsun Linhua.
“Iter found out that the woman was the daughter of the local governor. Naturally, seeing his daughter pregnant, he wanted me to take responsibility.
But you know what I’m like. How could I possibly marry a foreigner? Especially a woman who schemed to carry my child, I really can’t stand this kind of woman, and I definitely don’t want to marry her and be responsible.”
“So you ran back here?” Yuwen Kangli asked.
Gongsun Linhua nodded, “I made up some excuse to quit school and then ran back. But I’m puzzled, no one in my family knows about this, how did Nangong Man Sha find out?”
Gongsun Linhua had been pondering this issue just now; he hadn’t told anyone about it.
Yuwen Kangli stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: “Probably that woman came to the Capital City looking for you.”
Hearing that woman mentioned made Gongsun Linhua’s spine chill, he shook his head, “That better not happen! If my parents find out, they’ll definitely break my legs.”
As a scion of a wealthy family, Yuwen Kangli certainly understood their predicament, their marriages are not under their own control, especially for heirs like them. For the benefit of the family, sacrifices must be made in their marriages.
Naturally, Gongsun Linhua wouldn’t marry a foreigner, let alone a governor’s daughter, that’s absolutely uneptable.
“You better check just in case. If that woman really came and caused a scene in your family, you’re in big trouble.”
As soon as Yuwen Kangli finished speaking, Gongsun Linhua’s phone rang.
His heart sank, looking at the caller ID, feeling extremely anxious, it was a call from home.
The phone rang for a while before he slowly answered it.
“Hello, what’s up?”
“You little rascal! Come home immediately!”
The voice on the other end was frantic. Gongsun Linhua looked at Yuwen Kangli—the jinx, could it really be what he said?
Yuwen Kangli looked at Gongsun Linhua curiously, asking, “What happened? You look pale.”
“It might really be what you said, just now my grandmother called me, and… she sounded really upset.”
Inside, Gongsun Linhua was in a panic. There were some turbulences within the Gongsun Family, and it was very unfavorable for him to cause trouble at this critical juncture.
Without saying much more to Yuwen Kangli, Gongsun Linhua quickly stood up and ran off.
Yuwen Kangli watched him leave, shaking his head helplessly. Luckily, he himself wasn’t into fooling around with women; as they say, lust can cut like a knife—if truly caught by a woman, his life would be over.
After finishing hisst sip of coffee, Yuwen Kangli stood up and left.
Instead of driving home straight away, he drove to Chu Ge’s Gambling Stone Field.
He had heard that Chu Ge opened a Gambling Stone Field some time ago, but had never visited. Having nothing better to do today, he decided it might be fun to check it out.
When Yuwen Kangli arrived, Chu Ge was not around, and because it was morning, there weren’t many people in the Gambling Stone Field. Lin Dong, Gu Tong, and Lin Zhao were idling at the front desk.
Yuwen Kangli saw this scene as soon as he arrived, and couldn’t help but tut, “This business doesn’t look too lively.”
Lin Dong and Lin Zhao recognized Yuwen Kangli; they looked at each other before both standing up and approaching him. Lin Zhao, slick as always, came up to Yuwen Kangli and said, “So, Young Master Yuwen, what brings you here today?”
Yuwen Kangli hummed lightly, “What, can’t Ie?”
“No, no, of course, you cane. Are you nning to gamble in the lobby or prefer a private room?”
Yuwen Kangli looked around and then pointed at therge round table in the middle, “Just here.”
Lin Zhao and Lin Dong quickly made arrangements.
Deep down, Yuwen Kangli didn’t want to admit it, though Chu Ge was annoying, the Gambling Stone Field he ran was different from other ces.
Despite being on the basement floor, it felt nothing suffocating; the longer he stayed, the more refreshed he felt instead of irritable.
In fact, this was all due to the spiritual energy in those tables and stools. Though they couldn’t absorb the energy, it purified the air around, making ordinary people feel different by breathing fresh air.
Of course, Yuwen Kangli couldn’t see any of this.
When Chu Ge arrived, Yuwen Kangli had been gambling for a while, with various types of jade disyed before him, all freshly cut by him.
There were many around who knew him and recognized Yuwen Kangli as an expert in the Gambling Stone Field, naturally drawing a crowd.
By the time Chu Ge arrived, he saw the middle round table surrounded by people, with hardly anyone else around.
Chu Ge asked puzzledly, “What’s going on here?”
Because of the crowd, he couldn’t see clearly who was gambling inside.
Lin Dong stepped forward and said, “Mr. Chu, Young Master Yuwen hase.”
Young Master Yuwen? Yuwen Kangli?
What’s he doing here?
Chu Ge was puzzled, remembering that Yuwen Kangli had once lost a bet to him, not only losing the shares he held from Nangong Yunrao but also losing ten percent of his own shares.
He thought Yuwen Kangli would hold a grudge and nevere to this Gambling Stone Field.
Yuwen Kangli cut another piece of top-grade jade, its luster and transparence absolute top quality.
Surrounding apuse filled Yuwen Kangli, boosting his ego once more.
He nced up, peering through the crowd, vaguely seeing Chu Ge’s figure, recalling that he had once been defeated by Chu Ge, resentment quietly emerged in his heart.
He wanted to redeem his honor, to win back his shares!
Thinking this, Yuwen Kangli did just that; he strode confidently over to Chu Ge, “Mr. Chu, we meet again.”
Chu Ge nced at him indifferently, smiled, and said, “This is my turf, it’s normal for us to meet here.”
