Xia Yun said, “My friend was just here and said she’d go back home first and come over soon.” Who her friend was didn’t concern Luo Yang. However, Xia Yun suddenly turned serious, apparently having not clarified something. “Sister Xia, what’s wrong?” Luo Yang asked. “I didn’t want to say this, but I feel bad hiding it from you. My friend is from Xingang Brigade. Her dad is the village chief. I also know that there has always been bad blood between Hongyun Brigade and Xingang Brigade,” Xia Yun said while watching Luo Yang’s reaction. She worried that Luo Yang would get angry upon hearing this, but saw his expression remain calm. “It’s nothing. Actually, that’s all old grudges left by our ancestors, and it’s about time they were settled,” Luo Yang said generously. “That’s great! She also wants to buy your skincare products,” Xia Yun said with relief. About 20 minutes later, Xia Yun’s friend Cheng Xin arrived. She was of average height and about twenty-five years old, with a somewhat sharp face. Fortunately, her eyes were lively, making her not unpleasant to look at. Upon meeting Luo Yang, Cheng Xin was slightly uneasy but after a few words, she gradually relaxed. “People from our two villages shouldn’t be estranged like in the past. Your dad is the village chief, why don’t you persuade him to sit down with the people from both villages and talk things over, settle the old grudges?” Luo Yang said. “My dad is quite stubborn, but I’ll try,” Cheng Xin nodded and then asked, “Can you tell if someone is cheating at cards?” For Luo Yang, who had the X-Ray Ability, he would definitely know if someone was cheating at cards in front of him. “You don’t have to worry about that. The only issue is whether those people will be suspicious if I go,” Luo Yang pondered. “It’s fine. I’ve talked to them,” Cheng Xin said. Then, a group of six people set out to the county city in two cars. Upon arriving in the county city, An Yuying and the others wanted to accompany Luo Yang, but considering that Tang Guihua might lose control of her emotions on the spot, it could ruin things, so they spent some time convincing them to go buy bathtubs instead. Tang Guihua, An Yuying, and Qin Piao had no choice but to take one car to buy bathtubs, while Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin took Cheng Xin’s Audi to meet the card players. The car wound through the streets and finally entered a small alley in a residential area. It was ordinary, not very wide, but there was a small gambling den. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As soon as they got out of the car, they could hear mahjong tiles clacking, dominoes shuffling, and a cacophony of shouting and swearing from inside the house. Cheng Xin knocked on the door, introduced herself, and someone opened it. When Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin walked in, the middle-aged woman who opened the door eyed them warily. The entire ground floor of the building was used as a gambling den, filled with smoke. “These two are my friends. They also want to have some fun playing,” Cheng Xin introduced Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin to her card-playing buddies. The two young men and one young woman sitting at a table frowned upon glancing at Luo Yang. They appeared indifferent and seemed not interested in playing cards with him. The two young men exchanged looks, and the one with a crew cut bluntly said, “We don’t play with strangers.” Cheng Xin said angrily, “He’s my friend, what’s wrong with that?” At that moment, Luo Yang opened his backpack zipper, shook the bag’s contents onto the table, and more than two hundred thousand in cash nearly covered the small table. “You think country folks don’t have money?” Luo Yang said coldly. The entire room of gamblers all turned to look, and the noise abruptly fell silent. The two young men looked at each other again, and the crew-cut young man said with a smile, “It’s not like that. We just don’t know each other well. We’re afraid if you lose money, there will be a scene, and nobody would like that, right?” Luo Yang wrapped his arm around Hong Jiaxin’s shoulder, boasting, “I’m here to have a great time today. This amount of money is nothing to me. Look at my girlfriend, could I have bagged someone as beautiful as her without money?” Hong Jiaxin initially wanted to dodge when Luo Yang brazenly reached out to hug her. But hearing what he said, she couldn’t help but give him a bashful look, seeing how earnest he seemed, both annoyed and amused. Hong Jiaxin’s beauty was high level – from her figure, face, to her aura. Even without makeup and wearing low-grade clothes, she still shone brightly and was extremely eye-catching. “Well then, let’s all play together. First, put the money away,” the crew-cut young man said as he picked up a stack of bills to check if they were counterfeit. “I don’t like those who profit without investing anything. Surely you’re not carrying only a few hundred each, are you?” Luo Yang said lightly. “Brother, rest assured. If we lose money, we won’t owe anything,” the crew-cut young man said seriously. “How much money do you have on you? If it’s too little, I won’t play. It’s not interesting. The game starts, and then you say you’re out of cash, spoiling the fun,” Luo Yang said as he handed the backpack to Hong Jiaxin to hold. Initially, he had wanted to steal a kiss on her fair, blushing cheek, but thinking about her likely reaction, he decided against taking the risk and gave up on the adventurous thought. Immediately after, the crew-cut young man pulled out his wallet, which held several thousand yuan, and the other two also had a few thousand on them, totaling over ten thousand. “Let’s start playing. I’ll have a friend bring more money. If you win, I won’t owe you. We can afford to lose,” the crew-cut young man said while dialing on his phone, evidently calling someone to bring money over. After the call, the crew-cut young man sat back down at the square table. Luo Yang, with his arm around Hong Jiaxin’s fragrant shoulder, gave it a shake and chuckled, “Today my girlfriend is in a good mood, so she’ll play. The more she loses, the happier she gets. I love watching her delightful smile when she loses money.” Hong Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh with a “puff.”
