Everyone blocked the street leading to Dechang Casino, but when they saw Ji Mansion's convoy approaching, they all tacitly made way.
Oh wow! This time the Ji family has arrived with fifteen carriages!
After the fifteen carriages passed, everyone gathered around again and continued to block the street.
A shabby, very slow, creaking carriage was stuck outside the crowd and lost contact with the convoy ahead.
The round-faced steward looked at the dense crowd in front and shouted, "Please make way, everyone!"
No one paid any attention to them and just tried to squeeze forward.
At the front of the convoy was naturally Ji Yunxi's car.
Wu Wei'an was also inside. He lowered a corner of the car curtain and shook his head slightly: "There are more people outside than during the parade this morning."
Sure enough, money is the most important thing to everyone.
Ji Yunxi nodded, opened the secret compartment below, took out a new feathered-man-patterned hand mirror, and checked her makeup to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Wu Weian subconsciously glanced at her hand mirror, then looked down at the secret compartment that was empty before but was now full again, and felt a little sad.
He then took out a hand mirror from his pocket and looked at his face.
Both of them were quite satisfied with the effect of their makeup. After putting away their hand mirrors, they got off the carriage.
The manager of Dechang Casino really wanted to pretend to be dead, but he really couldn't.
Firstly, there were so many people outside that he even suspected half the city had come. With so many people watching, the gambling house couldn't just ignore it. After all, they still had to do business in the future. If everyone thought the gambling house couldn't afford to pay out, who would come in to gamble?
Secondly, Ji Yunxi's motorcade was followed by many guards, and they looked difficult to deal with.
The steward hurriedly sent someone to the Feng residence to call for someone, and then greeted them with a smile: "My humble servant greets the Third Miss and Mr. Wu."
Then he looked at Wu Weian and said, "I am here to congratulate Master Wu."
The dark circles under Wu Weian's eyes were still there and still very obvious, but his complexion was slightly better.
He stood beside Ji Yunxi and said softly, "Thank you."
The manager wanted to exchange pleasantries, but Ji Yunxi interrupted him: "I'm here to get the money."
The manager's smile was very stiff: "Of course, of course, but this amount of money is not a small amount..."
Ji Yunxi interrupted again: "Does this mean that your gambling house is not going to pay?"
The steward was sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "Of course not, but——"
Ji Yunxi gently touched her hair: "Oh, then start packing the money."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards of the Ji Mansion, each carrying a box, walked into the gambling house in a heroic and confident manner.
The guards of the Ji Mansion were all strong and masculine. In front of them, the thugs from the gambling house were no match at all.
Without saying a word, the guards opened the box and began to look for money to put it in.
After all, there is silver in the gambling house, on the table, and in the warehouse.
While they were packing the money, the accountant was counting it.
The steward: "Hey, this, this, Miss, you can't do this, this is robbing-"
Ji Yunxi didn't say anything, but instead curled the corners of her lips and looked at the manager with a smile.
The steward was speechless after being stared at.
After all, although this is indeed robbery, it is not really robbery.
The money Ji Yunxi took was the money she was supposed to get.
The manager was sweating profusely, but he really had no other choice.
They have no right to fight, and they cannot win.
The manager could only comfort himself, he was just a manager.
This gambling house didn't belong to him, but to the Feng family. When Ji Yunxi brought the money to bet, he had asked the adults for their opinion. Only after the adults said it was okay did he let the third daughter of the Ji family bet.
But now, even though they knew that the young master of the Wu family had won the first prize and the gambling house had to pay compensation, the Feng family had not given any instructions and no one came, leaving him alone to bear the consequences.
How can this be true?
The steward tried to persuade them a few times, but then stopped and watched the guards brought by Ji Yunxi excitedly packing the money.
Wu Weian followed Ji Yunxi and sat down in a corner of the gambling house. He looked at the scene in front of him, then looked at Ji Yunxi who had a calm expression, and lowered his eyes.
He knew before coming that asking for money would not be easy, and he even helped to think of many ways.
But I have to say, none of them are as good as his wife's method, which is cruel and direct enough.
Sure enough, when it comes to making money, his wife is more capable.
When the money was almost packed, someone from the Feng family finally came. It was Feng Wu.
Feng Wu almost gritted his teeth, but he always cared about his reputation, so he still had a smile on his face in public, looking elegant, but the viciousness in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
"Third Miss, Master Wu." Feng Wu feigned surprise. "What happened?"
Ji Yunxi didn't really want to pay attention to Feng Wu, so she glanced at Wu Weian.
Wu Weian smiled and replied, "Master Feng, Yunniang bet a lot of money on me winning the lottery at the gambling house. We won, so I came with Yunniang to get the money." After that, he asked curiously and puzzledly, "By the way, Master Feng, why are you here?"
Feng Wu was silent: "This gambling house is my Feng family's property."
Wu Wei'an was shocked and said, "What a coincidence? This gambling house is actually run by Brother Feng's family?"
Feng Wu: "Yes."
Wu Wei'an's expression shifted from shock to joy. "That's great! I was originally worried that this gambling house would refuse to pay, but if this gambling house belongs to Brother Feng, I won't worry anymore. Brother Feng has always been a man of high moral character, and Lord Feng is a respected censor. He would never refuse to pay. Yunniang, what do you think?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "That's true. My brothers often ask me to emulate Fourth Miss Feng, no, the noble lady."
Feng Wu felt a lump in his chest due to a mouthful of blood.
He had already thought of a speech when he came, but now he can't say it anymore.
