Gong Yixue smiled nonchalantly, "Grandpa, you're cheating."
Before Conrad could speak, Gong Yixue continued, "The reason I wanted to make a bet with the old man was simply to verify what I said; the outcome is not important."
You won all three games, so of course you can say the outcome doesn't matter.
He's almost completely lost face.
This is the first time in all these years that I've lost so thoroughly.
He felt very bad.
But given my age, I couldn't say anything.
Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that he, a man in his seventies or eighties, is making things difficult for younger people, and they worry that he will ruin his reputation in his later years.
Conrad called his servants to remove the obstructing tools.
Placing it here is like constantly reminding him of his recent crushing defeat.
After finishing everything, Conrad said to Black, "You go out first, I have something to say to him alone."
Blake, ever outspoken, said, "Grandpa, you're not a sore loser, are you?"
Conrad snapped, "Get out!"
Is he that kind of person?
As for those who disregard their reputation for a few insignificant gambling games...
Although his reputation was already bad.
But it doesn't seem worth his time to act right now.
Even if we really want to take action, there will be other opportunities in the future; there's no need to do it now.
Although Blake was fearless, deep down he still harbored resentment towards Conrad.
Seeing this, he could only turn around and say to Gong Yixue, "Brother Yin, I'll go out first."
Worried that Gong Yixue would be bullied, he still said with a forced smile, "I'll wait for you at the door. If Grandpa bullies you, shout for me."
Blake said this not because he valued Gong Yixue so much, but because he felt that since he had brought her into the Atreus family, he had to get her out safely as well.
If something happens to Gong Yixue here, who will want to be friends with him in the future?
Gong Yixue was naturally aware of her relationship with Black, and it wouldn't be enough to make him an enemy of the Atreus family.
Although she didn't know the specific reason, she felt that Blake wasn't a bad person, so she nodded.
Hearing Blake's words, Conrad was absolutely furious with this foolish grandson.
"Get out of here! Do you want to be locked up in solitary confinement?"
Upon hearing this, Blake immediately fled.
Gong Yixue: ...If something really happens, can this person really be relied on?
Seeing his infuriating grandson leave, Conrad's expression finally returned to its usual coldness and aloofness.
Looking at the refined and handsome man before him, he coldly asked, "Young man, are you from this city?"
"No," Gong Yixue replied succinctly.
Conrad: He can't even introduce himself properly, and you expect me to ask him one by one?
Conrad, considering the gambling skills this man displayed, naturally knew that this person's identity must be extraordinary.
Not wanting to make enemies unnecessarily, Conrad patiently asked, "I heard from Blake that your surname is Yin? What's your given name? Where are you from?"
Gong Yixue looked at Conrad with indifferent eyes and sneered, "Is the old man investigating household registration?"
“People who don’t know the situation might think I’m going to marry into the family, which is why the old man asked such detailed questions.”
Conrad was furious upon hearing this.
Marry into the family? How could he even say that?
Although the people of the Atreus family are amorous, they are not to the point of being bisexual.
“Absurd!…” Conrad slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"But I'm sorry, my sexual orientation is normal. Besides, I have no interest in marrying into the Atreus family. You don't need to interrogate me so thoroughly, sir."
“Even if you ask, I won’t answer,” Gong Yixue interrupted him directly.
Gong Yixue knew very well that Conrad had become suspicious of her.
That's why they deliberately avoided Blake and interrogated her instead.
But that doesn't mean she has to answer.
Ye Mohan, who had transformed into a bodyguard, could only sigh inwardly when he saw his wife going all out. His wife was too amazing; he could be used as a mere decoration.
Conrad hadn't expected that Gong Yixue's attitude would change so quickly without Blake around.
It wasn't appropriate to say anything more at that moment.
After all, this person's words and demeanor, seemingly without any issues, were actually a subtle warning to him, indicating that his identity was not ordinary.
Even if I really wanted to take action against him, I could only wait and see before thoroughly investigating his situation in Beijing.
Blake paced anxiously back and forth at the door.
However, he didn't dare to venture inside easily.
Grandpa is not someone to be trifled with.
Even if he did go inside, he would be stopped before he even reached his grandfather.
The bodyguards around Grandpa are not just there for show.
Just as Blake was at a loss for what to do, Gong Yixue led her bodyguards out.
Blake quickly went to greet him, "Brother Yin, how was it? Did Grandpa give you any trouble?"
Gong Yixue chuckled lightly, "You should go in and ask the old man if he needs to call the family doctor?"
After saying that, he walked forward.
Family doctor?
Why are they called family doctors?
Grandpa has always been in good health, so why call the family doctor?
Blake was left behind, pondering for a long time, completely baffled.
Seeing that Gong Yixue had walked away, he simply stopped thinking about it and quickly followed after her.
Just as he was about to put his arm around Gong Yixue's shoulder to talk, he was pushed away by the bodyguard.
Blake was puzzled, but considering that Gong Yixue might not like it, he gave up.
"Come on, Brother Yin, let's have a welcome dinner for you."
The group then descended the mountain.
Inside the main house, Conrad spoke to the air, "Do you think there's anything wrong with her?"
Suddenly a figure appeared in front of Conrad.
The person's face was covered by a mask, making it impossible to see their expression or emotions.
The voice said calmly, "I can't tell anything, but he must have some background; he has a very strong aura."
Conrad nodded and said, "Yes, indeed. I just don't know why he's around Blake? I always felt that someone so incredibly talented shouldn't be a gambler."
Thinking of something, he said, "Do you think it's possible that he's after me? Or perhaps the Atlantean family?"
The masked man's eyes flickered, but he quickly concealed them.
"I don't know, but we can investigate."
His voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.
It seems that what happened just now was just an illusion.
Conrad thought for a moment and said, “Send someone to keep an eye on him, and also find out where he came from.”
The masked man nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Just as he was about to leave, Conrad suddenly spoke up, "You should handle this personally; I don't trust anyone else to do it."
The masked man paused, turned around, nodded to Conrad, and then left the main house.
They come without a trace and go without a trace.
-
The Atreus family's villa at the foot of the mountain.
Blake kept Gong Yixue company with drinks until late at night, which ended with both of them getting very drunk.
Blake was helped away by the butler.
