sister in law?

This address really surprised Ji Zhifei, and he subconsciously turned to look at Jing Li. The latter showed no surprise at this uninvited guest, as if he had expected all this.

Jing Li just smiled and said, "Master Ji asked me to come up and play."

"Oh?" Gu Heng turned to look at Ji Zhifei, pretending to be surprised, "How come I didn't know that my sister-in-law also knew Master Ji."

Gu Heng should be the youngest among the rich young men present, but he happens to be of the highest birthright. Many elders in the families here respect Master Gu as the most respected, so no one dares to cross him.

But everyone in the city knows that Gu Heng is Mr. Gu's only son.

Where did he get his sister-in-law?

"I don't know him." Jing Li said, "There's a misunderstanding between Master Ji and me, so we've come together to discuss this, using the winnings and losses of the bet as a witness."

"I see."

Gu Heng nodded, but didn't ask about the details of the bet. He simply walked over to the table and glanced casually, "The one on the left is losing so badly? Sister-in-law, could it be that you're on this side?"

Without waiting for Jing Li to answer, he continued, "It doesn't matter if I lose. Master Ji and I have known each other for many years, so I still have some face. Master Ji, I will pay back what my sister-in-law lost to you."

As he finished speaking, some people in the room murmured.

From the moment Gu Heng walked in, they had already guessed that they might have hit a wall this time.

How could they not understand Gu Heng's temperament? This young master was spoiled at home and lawless, and he didn't obey anyone. How could he easily be so humble to others?

The person who can be called sister-in-law by Gu Heng, even if they are not really related by blood, is at least related to the Gu family.

And his behavior after entering the door confirmed everyone's speculation.

Gu Heng's meaning was that he didn't care about the details of the matter, but he would definitely protect this person. To go against him was to go against Gu Heng, and in turn against the Gu family.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes looking at Jing Li changed.

Who is this person?

While the others in the private room could still watch the situation unfold from the sidelines, Ji Zhifei was now in a difficult position. After the bet was made yesterday, Ji Zhifei had sent someone to investigate the young man's background, but found nothing.

The people sent by Ji Zhifei followed the young man out of the bookstore, but soon lost him.

But at that time Ji Zhifei didn't take it too seriously, thinking that his subordinates were incompetent.

Now that I think about it, there must have been someone involved.

Ji Zhifei's face looked extremely ugly, but because of Gu Heng's words, everyone in the room looked at him.

What does he say about this?

He said that the young man cheated when he was gambling with him, so he refused to accept the result? Not to mention that this was a deliberate frame-up by him, even if it was true, he would not dare to say it in front of Gu Heng.

You know, although this gambling house is nominally managed by the Ji family, secretly, all the funds are provided by the Gu family.

Ji Zhifei believed that he was fearless in the capital city, and the only person he dared not offend was the Gu family.

What bad luck has he had today? !

Ji Zhifei didn't say anything, but Jing Li said calmly, "I'm on the right."

"Oh!" Gu Heng suddenly realized, "Sister-in-law is so lucky!"

"Since I've already won, can I leave now?" Gu Heng said, "I'm about to take the county exam, and my mother has asked me to host a banquet for you at Linjiang Pavilion at noon today!"

Jing Li nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, Gu Heng took the initiative to step aside and let Jing Li and Boss Chang go out first.

"By the way, Master Ji." Before stepping out of the door, Gu Heng suddenly turned around and said, "I hope you can send the bet I lost to my sister-in-law to my house as soon as possible. Don't forget."
