Yu Han was somewhat disappointed to see that Chang Xi was not fooled.
However, it was not surprising, since the bet proposed by their granddaughter was already the limit that the Chang family could accept.
Earning an A-grade energy mine would be quite good.
He no longer needs to worry that his granddaughter will be unable to support her private guard.
Jin Shangyue had already figured out these powerful and influential families, and today's game was a scheme to turn the tables on them.
Therefore, all the bets she proposed were made by testing the limits of these people step by step.
They naturally knew that the Chang family's limit was allowing them to gamble on an A-grade energy mine.
Jin Shangyue did not continue to provoke Old Master Chang, but instead spoke to Chang Feng.
"Okay, let's make that bet."
Chang Feng's face was still grim, filled with anger. He glared fiercely at Jin Shangyue before going to sign the betting contract.
After finishing, Jin Shangyue looked at the others.
After reviewing the situation with Yuan Xinglu and Chang Feng, the Lu and Lan families temporarily adjusted their plans.
So when the younger members of the Lu and Lan families discussed the bet with Jin Shangyue, they clearly changed their approach.
They were no longer after Jinshangyue herself, but rather after personal gain.
As for the grudges against one's own children, there will be plenty of time and opportunity to settle that privately.
This is a good opportunity to find out whether the Yu family truly dotes on Jin Shangyue or is just putting on a show.
If she is truly favored, Jin Shangyue must have some valuable items given to her by the Yu family.
Powerful families like theirs, who wielded military power in their respective regions, were like feudal lords in ancient times.
If you want to compensate a junior, pamper them, and treat them well, the most practical way is to provide them with resources and financial support.
The Lu family sent Lu Zhu's seventeen-year-old brother, Lu Yang, out to play this game with Jin Shangyue.
The proposed gameplay is combat.
"Sister Jin, I'm very interested in the ancient acupressure techniques you use in the game, so I'd like to have a match with you."
Upon hearing this, many people muttered to themselves: The Lu family is truly insidious.
They specifically chose someone younger than Jin Shangyue and suggested that she fight. Wasn't this just an excuse to prevent people from saying that the Lu family was bullying a young girl who had never cultivated before?
However, it also gave some people a new perspective.
As a result, those who came out to play games with Jin Shangyue later were all younger than her, but they suggested fighting her.
Yu Han immediately looked like she was about to jump up and down, and said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't your Lu family bullying us?"
"My granddaughter just returned to the Yu family; she doesn't have the same resources as your grandson!"
Yu Han was certainly more aware of Jin Shangyue's fighting prowess than anyone else, but this was just a pretense, a way to cooperate with his granddaughter.
Only by deceiving these scheming individuals can his granddaughter gain more and greater benefits.
Jin Shangyue smiled. Her adoptive grandfather was quite good at playing games and knew how to cooperate.
The old man of the Lu family smiled insincerely and said, "How could I be bullying people? My Lu Yang is two years younger than your Yueyue."
"Hmph!" Yu Han snorted coldly, "That's really insidious."
The old master of the Lu family had an expression that said, "I'm magnanimous, I'm tolerant, and I won't hold it against you."
Yu Han was so angry that his face turned black and then blue.
Of course, this was all an act by Yu Han.
Jin Shangyue waited until her old man had finished his performance before speaking, "Tell me your bet."
Lu Yang had clearly been informed by the Lu family and came prepared.
"How about we gamble with resource states? If I lose, I'll give you ten resource states; if you lose, you give me ten resource states."
The crowd was in an uproar; the Lu family was really asking for an exorbitant amount.
This is clearly an attempt to take advantage of the Yu family and seize their resources.
In everyone's eyes, if Jin Shangyue agreed, she would lose.
These ten resource-rich states will ultimately be taken by the Lu family.
Everyone looked at the old man of the Yu family, thinking he was bound to jump up and down in anger.
Yu Han also played along, roaring angrily, "Does your Lu family have no shame? Ten resource states, that's practically outright robbery!"
Grandpa Lu said calmly, "If you don't think it's acceptable, your granddaughter can propose other bets. Whether you agree or not is up to you. No one is forcing your granddaughter. At worst, it just means your Yu family can't afford to play this game."
"You!" Yu Han was furious and pointed at the old man of the Lu family, ready to curse.
"It's almost time for Jinshang Yuejian to finish," Yu Han interrupted at the opportune moment.
"My grandfather said that in powerful families like ours, the children all have shadow guards and private bodyguards."
“Your Lu family, like our Yu family, are both in charge of a military corps. Since you are a child of the Lu family, you must also have these things.”
“The Yu family doesn’t give their private guards to the younger generation, but I’m very curious and fond of them. How about adding another 20,000 private guards to the existing ten prefectures?”
"I'd really like to have my own private bodyguard."
Jin Shangyue spoke casually, but her eyes also revealed a hint of desire and ambition for military power.
She perfectly captured that naive, unrealistic, and greedy nature of him.
At first glance, everyone will think that this person has no ability but wants real power.
Upon returning to the Yu family, he immediately began meticulously plotting against the best.
It's not surprising that they have such an insatiable appetite and lack self-awareness.
Seeing many people shaking their heads in disdain, the Yu family members, who knew the truth: ...
play!
Keep acting!
How come they never noticed before that Jin Shangyue, who loves to beat people, is fierce and ruthless, and is also crazy and perverted, is actually a good actress?
