"One minute left." Shang Shaoheng said, "Make a wish."
Jiang Rong closed his eyes and clenched his hands, but for a moment he really couldn't make any wishes.
She will eventually get what she wants on her own, and there seems to be no need to ask for help from gods or Buddhas.
In the end, she didn't make any wishes. When Jiang Rong opened her eyes, she saw Shang Shaoheng's well-defined face. He didn't seem to have any intention of keeping him to eat cake with her. When she finished making a wish and turned to leave, Jiang Rong said, "Master Shang!"
Shang Shaoheng lowered his eyes: "Didn't you call me by my name before? Why do you have to act like a good boy now?"
"...Shang Shaoheng." Jiang Rong said, "I'm sorry."
"Why apologize?"
Jiang Rong said: "I told you before that you are not a good person."
"You have a very clear understanding of me." Shang Shaoheng said: "I am indeed not a good person."
Jiang Rong smiled with his eyes curved, and said, "But tonight, you are a good person."
…
Jiang Rong stayed in Bailu Manor for nearly ten days, and rarely saw Shang Shaoheng during this period.
A person in such a high position and power as him was really too busy. One night, Jiang Rong couldn't sleep and was walking in the garden. He heard Shang Shaoheng making a phone call on the balcony. In a calm and cold tone, he humiliated the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations. It seemed that the other party was one of the members of the current parliament.
The parliament can be said to be the largest power institution in Country A today. All those who can become members of parliament are important figures in Country A. Jiang Rong did not dare to utter a word after being scolded by Shang Shaoheng. It was then that she realized that Shang Shaoheng was really "gentle" towards her.
[Are you going out today?] 022 asked Jiang Rong, who was changing clothes.
[Hmm.] Jiang Rong casually responded with a chuckle. "I originally wanted to wait until I had finished dealing with the Jiang family at the First Military Academy, but Qiao Yixuan really upset me last time, so I gave her a gift in advance."
Jiang Rong's "gift" was even more terrifying than Shang Shaoheng's. However, after learning about the feud between Jiang Rong and Qiao Yixuan, the dog felt sorry for Jiang Rong and did not stop him. Instead, it said, "Don't destroy the Jiang family now. The heroine and the hero are not together yet."
[Don't worry.] Jiang Rong said nonchalantly, "I have many ways of torturing people, but I just don't like to give people a quick death."
022: […What did you do before? I feel like you have some mental problems.]
Jiang Rong said: "I've been slaughtering fish at RT-Mart for ten years. My heart has become as cold as the knife in my hand, so it's not surprising that I'm a psychopath."
022 knew she was lying, of course.
Jiang Rong is always like this, she is like this to Shang Shaoheng and to others. The only difference is probably that Shang Shaoheng knows which words she says are true and which are false, while others cannot tell the difference.
Jiang Rong put on his baseball cap and left Bailu Manor.
She took a taxi to a residential complex. The security guards there all knew her. Seeing her, they smiled and said, "Girl, are you here to see your boyfriend again? He hasn't left the house yet."
"He's not my boyfriend." Jiang Rong said sadly, "I had a fight with him and wanted to find a chance to reconcile."
The security guard sighed and said, "You are so beautiful, but he still broke up with you? If you apologize to him, he will definitely forgive you."
Jiang Rong just smiled, and the security guard pulled a chair for her and said, "Come on, sit down and wait."
As the saying goes, when you go out, you create your own personality. These past two days, Jiang Rong played the role of a love-brained girl who had a quarrel and broke up with her boyfriend. She waited for him at the gate of the community every day, but her boyfriend ignored her.
...How can I just turn a blind eye? I don’t even know her.
Jiang Rong calmly asked, "Uncle, has he brought other girls home recently?"
"That's not the case." The security guard recalled and shook his head. He hesitated and said, "Girl, why don't you break up with him? He's not a good person."
Jiang Rong was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
"It's not our place to badmouth the residents, but this Qiao Xun... he's a gambler. I heard he lost millions gambling online. After finally quitting, he went back to the casino and lost millions again. If it weren't for his relatives helping him out, he would have used his own sister to pay off his debts. It's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible!"
Qiao Xun is Qiao Yixuan's only nephew.
Qiao Yixuan's brother Qiao Zhouyi has four children in total. He gave birth to three daughters before he had a precious son like Qiao Xun. Naturally, he loves him like a treasure.
Qiao Yixuan dotes on her nephew very much. The Qiao family is not as well off as before, which can be seen from their living environment. It is impossible for the Qiao family to come up with two million to pay off Qiao Xun's gambling debts. This hole was obviously filled by Qiao Yixuan.
"Uncle, I actually know he loves gambling." Jiang Rong frowned. "He told me he would change, and I believe him."
The security guard wanted to say that the gambler would never change, but seeing Jiang Rong's determined face, he knew that he couldn't persuade the girl, so he could only shake his head and sigh, saying, "He's had good luck gambling lately. I heard he won hundreds of thousands of dollars a few days ago."
Jiang Rong slowly asked a lot of questions before finally seeing Qiao Xun yawning and leaving the community.
Judging from his appearance, Qiao Xun has regular features and is actually good-looking, but he has been immersed in alcohol and sex for a long time, and his spirit is listless. He looks timid and not very serious.
Jiang Rong followed Qiao Xun out of the community.
The casino that Qiao Xun often goes to is very famous in Yancheng. It has a strict membership system. All members are rich people, and various underground transactions emerge in an endless stream. It is built in the basement of a hotel, and you cannot enter without a membership card.
It is said that this underground casino is spread all over the world and can be found in almost every major city. Because its logo is a beautiful iris, many people in China call it the "Iris Casino".
Jiang Rong frowned as he watched Qiao Xun enter the casino.
Qiao Xun doesn't meet the membership requirements of Iris Casino at all. Where did he get the membership card?
[You can't get in here.] 022: [How about we ask the male lead? He definitely has a membership card.]
Jiang Rong didn't say anything. She thought for a moment, then took two steps forward. Two receptionists with sweet smiles stopped her and said, "Sorry, you need to show your membership card to register before you can enter. Do you have a membership card?"
Jiang Rong pulled a black card from her bag. On it, besides a golden fleur-de-lis, there was a membership code and a gold anti-counterfeiting seal. The two immediately bowed. "Hello, welcome to the Iris Casino. I wish you a wonderful day here."
The door opened, revealing a winding staircase. The light was dim and it was difficult to see what was inside from the outside. Jiang Rong took back the card, pulled up his mask, and walked in.
022 was surprised: [Are you a member here?!]
[No.] Jiang Rong paused and said, [This card belongs to Jiang Ci.]
