"Mr. Gu, have you forgotten something?!" Song Mengmeng frowned slightly, her head aching from Gu Weihe's arrogant laughter. She lazily stretched out her hand and pointed at the dice in front of Gu Weihe: "My number hasn't even appeared yet. Aren't you being a little too hasty in declaring victory so impatiently?"
Song Mengmeng's slender, fair hands appeared even whiter and more radiant against the backdrop of the dark dice.
Unlike the tense and cautious manner of others playing dice, the little girl's movements as she threw the dice into the dice cup one by one were charming and cute. She didn't seem to be participating in such a huge gambling game at all, but rather like she was playing some fun game.
Her nonchalant attitude made Gu Weihe, who was eagerly awaiting the results, unable to contain himself any longer. After holding back for a while, he finally couldn't help but urge her, "Can you hurry up?"
In Gu Weihe's eyes, even though Song Mengmeng was sitting in the chair at this card game, he never paid any attention to her!
These little gadgets are like larks kept by the powerful and wealthy to amuse themselves. When they like them, they cherish and pamper them; when they get tired of them, they are just trash that they can throw away at will!
He completely forgot that his true identity was nothing more than a son-in-law dependent on a collateral branch of the Guan family. He wasn't even as favored as that pampered little lark!
"Are you trying to teach us how to do things?" Yan Di tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, his gaze towards Gu Weihe filled with dissatisfaction and warning.
"Don't rush, what's yours will come to you, and what's not yours, no matter how anxious you are or how much you scheme, it's useless!" Song Mengmeng said softly to Gu Weihe while gently shaking the dice in her hand.
As the dice were opened, the six sixes facing up, bright red, slapped Gu Weihe, who was waiting to win the spoils and reach the pinnacle of life, to the ground like a clown!
It was just a slight difference, but the results were worlds apart!
"Wow, we won!" Song Mengmeng giggled, her face beaming with joy and excitement. She turned to look at Yan Di, her expression pleading for praise and compliments.
Emperor Yan was generous with his praise, reaching out to pat Song Mengmeng's head gently. The tenderness and doting in his eyes were so intense they almost filled the entire room.
Seeing the sticky scene in front of him, Young Master Zhou clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction a few times and shouted at the two cloying people in front of him, "That's enough! Are you two being so sticky and affectionate, are you even giving us single dogs a chance to live?!"
Although they lost money, the remaining few who entered the game did not show the slightest unhappiness or frustration; although they had spent 100 million, the opportunity to connect with the Yan and Zhou families was something that no amount of money could buy!
However, some people can accept it, while others are very unwilling to accept it.
For example, Gu Weihe, who went from heaven to hell by a hair's breadth.
"This is impossible! You must have cheated! I don't believe it!" Gu Weihe's anger came suddenly and fiercely, giving the Guan family members who noticed something was wrong and wanted to stop him no chance. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Song Mengmeng sitting next to him, and angrily cursed, "Yes, she must have cheated!"
These words caused an uproar throughout the private room.
Before Yan Di could speak, Guan Xinjue had already strode over and slapped Gu Weihe hard across the face, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Shut up right now!"
"Is Patriarch Guan a sore loser?" Yan Di stood up, protecting Song Mengmeng, and looked at Gu Weihe and Guan Xinjue as if they were two clowns: "If you can't handle losing, don't sit at the table; if you sit at the table and put on this act, it's not very presentable for someone of your status!"
"Young Master, what are you saying? It's just that young people are ignorant! I've spoiled your enjoyment, and I apologize to you!" Guan Xinjue didn't dare to say a word of dissent, and only bowed to Yan Di to apologize repeatedly.
The engagement banquet hasn't officially started yet. If we offend the Emperor of Hell because of this, then half of the guests might leave.
"Master Guan, you should spend more time managing the younger generation in your family! You have no manners or class at all. You shouldn't come out to play anymore. It's too embarrassing!" Zhou Laoda stood up and walked to Yan Di's side. He patted Yan Di's shoulder and invited him to go out for a drink while teasing Master Guan with no smile in his eyes.
Song Mengmeng turned her head and looked at Gu Weihe, who had been slapped to the side and was staring at her with a vicious look. She raised her hand and gently shook the bracelet on her wrist, which successfully made Gu Weihe's face turn pale instantly. He stared at the direction she and the King of Hell had left as if he were looking at a demon, and could no longer hold back his scream: "Ghost, there is a ghost, a ghost!"
"Enough! You piece of trash! If you keep making a fool of yourself like this, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" It was Gu Weihe's father-in-law who took action this time. He kicked Gu Weihe, who had almost completely lost his mind, and warned him through gritted teeth, "Now get back to your room and stay there. Figure out your emotions before you come out again!"
Tomorrow, when you're clear-headed, come with me to apologize to that lady! If you don't get her forgiveness, you might as well just go die!
I have no idea what you're thinking! Who do you think you are, daring to provoke the King of Hell? Are you tired of living?!
Gu Weihe's mind was filled with the smiling face he had seen when Song Mengmeng left. He couldn't possibly be mistaken, even after so many years, even though he had spent a fortune to settle the matter back then...
However, this does not mean that this event never actually happened!
That was a nightmare etched into his heart, hidden in his soul. Even after so many years of peace and quiet, even though he now possessed almost everything he had once desired, but…
"What are you spacing out for? Didn't you hear what I said?!" The father-in-law was so angry at Gu Weihe's absent-minded appearance that his blood pressure soared to a new high. He took a few breaths before slapping him on the back again: "What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!"
His words were filled with nothing but disgust and rebuke. Under normal circumstances, Gu Weihe might have been angry and dissatisfied, but now, immersed in terror, he couldn't care less. Instead, he was brought back to his senses by his father-in-law's slap. He turned around, grabbed his father-in-law's hand with a look of terror, and screamed in a shrill voice that almost everyone present could hear: "A ghost! It's a ghost! She's here! She's here to take revenge on us! A ghost! There's a ghost! That woman, she, she's here!"
