Chapter 991: Do You Have Any Objections?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Cheng Xiyue heard him say this, someone immediately came to his mind.

“Gambler?”

Lu Huaiyu tilted his head and looked out of the window.

Cheng Xiyue scoffed.

“That’s true. Other than this person, who else could it be?”

Actually, it had been a very long time since Lu Huaiyu had heard this name. However, when Cheng Xiyue mentioned it, all the related memories were still extremely clear and vivid.

Cheng Xiyue could not help but say, “You might think that he is interesting, but he might not think so about you. Thinking back, how did you set him up back then? If I were him, I would definitely put you at the top of the assassination list for the rest of my life.”

Lu Huaiyu seemed to laugh as he said,”If you are willing to gamble, you must be willing to admit defeat.”

Cheng Xiyue simply wanted to roll his eyes.

There was nothing wrong with these words, but when they came out of this man’s mouth, it was inexplicably annoying.

“Moreover, I never really thought of recovering this debt in the first place.”

“But didn’t he still return it to you on time?”

“That’s why I feel that this person is very interesting.”

Cheng Xiyue was extremely speechless at Lu Huaiyu’s words.

“Could it be that you find it so interesting because it’s rare to meet someone who’s capable of competing with you, and yet, you’re able to come out on top?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows.

“Well, I’ve never denied my admiration for him.”

“So, it’s because you admired him that you set him up to owe you a huge amount of debt? Haven’t you thought about it? Is he willing to accept your kind of admiration?”

Cheng Xiyue felt that he could not communicate with him on this. After thinking for a while, he snorted again.

“After that incident in Leland, he also disappeared without a trace. Until now, there’s been no news about him and it’s probably because of you.”

Lu Huaiyu’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.

“Actually, it might not be completely silent.”

Cheng Xiyue was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Lu Huaiyu’s well-defined, slender fingers tapped lightly on his knees twice.

“Last year at the Hong Kong City Jockey Club, there was an SSS level member who placed bets three days in a row. Every time he won a match, he would put all the principal and prize money back into the next match. Relying on this, in a short three days, his capital of ten million immediately rose to nine digits.”

A trace of shock flashed across Cheng Xiyue’s face.

“Really?”

“Gu Tinglan himself said it.”

“F*ck… F*ck! Then this–”

Cheng Xiyue took a deep breath.

“In that case, that really does seem like Gambler’s style… Could it really be him? However, it’s hard to be sure just by gauging from this. After all, the Hong Kong City Jockey Club has more than ten SSS-level members. Moreover, there were so many people betting on the horse race, so it might not be–”

Lu Huaiyu smiled faintly.

“I forgot to tell you that the day Gambler returned the money was the day after the horse race ended.”

This time, Cheng Xiyue was completely shocked.

The style was similar, and although it could be said to be a mere coincidence, the timing of the return of the money was really too subtle. It would be very difficult not to think that.

After all, that had been a huge sum of money.

Calculating it, that day would definitely have been the day that the horse race prize money had arrived.

And it just so happened that Gambler had chosen to return the money on that exact day.

This–

Cheng Xiyue was quiet for quite a while, barely able to digest the huge impact of the news.

Even though there was no conclusive evidence, this was truly a coincidence. Moreover, if even Lu Huaiyu said so, it proved that in his heart, he had basically confirmed this fact.

After a long while, Cheng Xiyue finally spat out a sentence.

“In that case, it looks like the two of you share a fate?”

Lu Huaiyu did not speak.

Just then, the car arrived at Skyleaf City where Shen Li was standing outside the community’s door.

Lu Huaiyu lowered the car window.

“Ah Li.”

Cheng Xiyue did not continue the topic from before and parked the car properly. He tilted his head and smiled at Shen Li.

“Sister Ah Li!”

Shen Li got into the backseat and greeted the two people.

“Second Brother, Brother Xiyue.”

Cheng Xiyue turned his head to look at her and said with a smile,”It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, and Sister Ah Li has become beautiful again.”

Lu Huaiyu’s gaze was extremely indifferent as he looked at him lightly.

A chill ran up the back of his head, and Cheng Xiyue immediately shivered.

Wow, this man… What was wrong with him just catching up with Sister Ah Li?

This protective instinct of his was just too strong.

Shen Li rolled her eyes before saying,”How long will Brother Xiyue be here for this time?”

“A week,” Cheng Xiyue said, finally able to sit properly again as he drove forward, “But I don’t have a lot of things that I need to do. I’m just going to treat this as a vacation.”

The Eldest Master Cheng had always treated himself very well. He was completely unequivocal when he said that he was on vacation.

“Right, I still have to make a trip to Jinse Bay tomorrow to visit Elder Mei. Old Master Cheng is very worried.”

Old Master Cheng and Elder Mei had also been good friends for many years. Although they did not see each other often now that one was in the Capital and the other was in Yunzhou, they would still contact each other regularly.

It was then that Cheng Xiyue’s expression became very sorrowful.

“Oh right, Sister Ah Li, the last time I came, you hid the fact that you are Elder Mei’s disciple very well!”

At that time, Mei Yanqing had undergone surgery. Since he had come to the Capital on a business trip, so he had specially gone to visit him. However, he had ultimately been thrown out of the room, together with the fruit basket he had brought.

Later on, he had brought up this matter in front of Shen Li, but she had not said anything and had kept it a secret.

If not for the fake version of her painting appearing in One Gallery earlier and her coming out to verify her identity, who knew how long this relationship between her and Elder Mei would remain hidden?

Every time he thought of this, Cheng Xiyue would feel very resentful.

Shen Li paused for a moment and explained, “It’s mainly because my seniority is a little awkward, so–”

Cheng Xiyue thought for a moment, and his expression eased slightly.

“Ah, that’s true.”

The youngest senior brother above Shen Li was Yu Pingchuan, and he was already over 50 years old.

Not to mention the others.

For a young girl like Shen Li to mix in here, the style was indeed unique.

“But, Lu Er, why were you helping Sister Ah Li hide it from me as well?” Cheng Xiyue turned his focus to Lu Huaiyu instead.

Even if he did not say it explicitly, it would still have been possible to occasionally hint at it, right?

However, the moment these words came out, the car instantly quieted down, and the atmosphere became delicate.

Lu Huaiyu looked at him emotionlessly.

Shen Li silently shrank back into her seat.

Cheng Xiyue was stupefied. “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that you didn’t know about this matter back then either? Could it be that Sister Ah Li didn’t even tell you?”

The air in the car was almost frozen.

Shen Li said softly,”That… I hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to talk to Second Brother yet at that time…”

Cheng Xiyue was speechless.

F*ck.

Had he been that unlucky for the past eight lifetimes that he would now step on Lu Er’s sore spot?!

Lu Huaiyu looked at Cheng Xiyue and smiled slightly, but the tone of his voice was cold.

“Yes.

“Do you have any objections?”
