After a long time, I heard him say: "Your brother, I have accepted it. Good boy, please take this back!"
With a happy face on his face, Jiang Shanshan respectfully took the jade pendant from the old man and put it into his arms with great care.
After hesitating for a moment, she revealed a little more about the situation of her brother and sister in the Jiang family. When she mentioned Mrs. Jiang's actions, the old man frowned visibly.
"How could she be like this? Has she really treated you two like this for so many years?"
"Sir, what do you think of Mrs. Jiang?"
"I have heard that she is gentle, virtuous, kind and pure." He sighed, "but I didn't know it would be like this."
"The human heart is unpredictable and it is not easy to see clearly."
He nodded and did not question Jiang Shanshan's words. After all, anyone could see that she was indeed having a bad life.
It just hurts that she has such awareness at such an old age, thinking that her mother was still a carefree girl back then.
The old man handed her the other thing he had prepared, and said, "It's a common inconvenience on weekdays, so you should take care of yourselves."
Jiang Shanshan took it, "Yes, sir!"
Leaving the study, the old man sat alone for a long time before calling someone.
The shopkeeper came over and asked softly, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Think of some ways to help this child more!"
The old man stood up and left, his lonely figure even more desolate.
After leaving the study, Jiang Shanshan walked a short distance to the street. A big problem in his heart was finally solved, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Thinking about it, she looked up and saw the big word "GAM" above her head, and she couldn't move any further.
Is it fate?
"It's so easy to get out, it would be a pity not to touch a few!"
Besides, it would be nice to win more money, after all, she is short of it!
After convincing myself, I quickly stepped into the gambling house.
At noon, Jiang Shanshan wandered around various gambling tables, killing everyone. Soon, there was a group of people behind her who were rushing to place bets with her.
It's hard not to pay attention to a scene like this.
This also troubled Jiang Shanshan.
She originally wanted to win more, but it would be too high-profile for these people to follow her. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she planned to finish her last gamble and prepare to leave.
Just as she collected the money and was about to leave, she unexpectedly saw a young man in a scarlet robe coming angrily, approaching her, and slapped her on the table behind her.
"It's you. I asked you why you are so unlucky today. It turns out that I taught you to win."
The young man's eyes turned red when he looked at the money that was almost filling her body.
How could anyone in this world win so much?
Jiang Shanshan had no impression of this person at all, but the other person seemed to recognize him?
Pushing the face that was close to her eyes away, she stood up and said calmly: "Who are you?"
"You don't recognize me?" The young man couldn't believe it.
Jiang Shanshan was confused, "Should I recognize you?"
"you……"
This sentence completely destroyed the young man's confidence in himself. He didn't even recognize him, which was correct. They were ordinary people after all, but they had only met him last time.
He clearly remembered the man who had won for an entire afternoon.
"I don't care, just don't recognize it if you don't recognize it! But since you can win so much, just play a few more bets with me."
"Oh, where did you come from, this squeamish young master? You said I would accompany you, so why should I?"
Jiang Shanshan looked impatient and walked around him to leave. Unexpectedly, this kid refused to let her go and immediately stood in front of her again.
"Did I tell you to leave?" After losing for noon, he became angry now.
Why can everyone else win but he always loses?
Especially this one, nine out of ten times he bets, he wins, and ten out of ten times he bets, he loses.
unacceptable!
"Are you sure you want to block my way?" Jiang Shanshan's face turned cold.
The young man in front of him was well-dressed, and he was thin-skinned and tender, especially with two not-so-obvious lumps of fat on his cheeks.
No matter how you look at him, he is a lovable person, but unexpectedly he has a domineering temper.
Who got used to it?
"I don't care, if you don't accompany me, don't leave this gambling house!" The young man pinched his waist, feeling quite proud.
Besides, if it weren't for him, how could this girl have been able to win here for so long?
Isn't it too much for him to ask for something now?
Jiang Shanshan just listened to his words and sneered, "I want to go home now. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for beating you!"
"Hit me?"
The young man pointed at himself in astonishment, as if it was the first time he heard someone say that. He looked at the people around him and all moved away, obviously not daring to provoke him.
But now there is a girl who wants to beat him up.
Growing up, except for one person, I have never heard of anyone dare to beat him.
At that moment, instead of retreating, he straightened up and stepped forward, "Then hit me! Hit me! From the time I was born to now, no one has dared to hit me."
Seeing the boy getting closer, Jiang Shanshan smiled angrily. Tokyo's dandies have really special preferences.
If he begs her to fight him, wouldn’t it be unkind if she doesn’t satisfy him?
"Why, don't you dare? Didn't you just say that you would hit me? Come on! Come on!" The young man raised his chin.
That mean look is so proud of you.
"This is the first time in my life that I have heard someone make such a mean request!"
Jiang Shanshan nodded and suddenly punched him in the eye, "I will satisfy you!"
After the words fell, there was another punch.
One on each side, exactly symmetrical.
The young man was beaten and took a few steps back, looking at her dazedly and shocked.
She... actually... really dared to beat him?
"Be bold!"
Someone scolded, and in the next moment, a knife was inserted into Jiang Shanshan's position, and she stepped aside.
Seeing that something was wrong, she immediately got into the crowd watching the show, like a slippery fish, causing chaos and then escaped.
The few guards who were looking for her all over the place were blocked by the crowd and accidentally lost sight of her.
"Give it to me, bring it back to me..." the boy who was being supported ordered, and then added, "Don't hurt her."
The chaos lasted for a short time, and the owner who was hiding behind was trembling. Even though a lot of tables in the gambling house were damaged and most of the guests were scared away, he did not dare to blame him at all.
Those who didn't know thought this young man was just a playboy from some family, and those who knew knew his identity.
That girl dared to hit this big Buddha. I'm afraid she's not far away from death. I just hope she won't implicate the gambling house.
He is really heartbroken!
As for Jiang Shanshan, he thought he could get rid of those people after leaving the gambling house, but little did he know that the other party was chasing after him.
She went around two streets and still didn't get rid of the person.
Really unable to run any longer, she rushed into a teahouse with the intention of escaping through the back door, but when she turned around, she saw that the tail behind her had already entered.
As a last resort, she had no choice but to run upstairs. Wouldn't that person just break in at such a private room?
Thinking about it, she turned a corner and walked to the end, waiting at the door. Suddenly, there was an extra hand on her shoulder, and before she could see the person clearly, she was blocked from entering the room.
After falling to the ground, she looked up and saw the sharp blade close at hand. A cold light flashed across her eyes, making her hold her breath.
"Hero, spare your life. Please forgive me for passing by by accident!"
She raised her hands and realized that she had strayed into a terrible place.
