Chapter 723 Not a Fair Deal
Yu Hao didn’t follow her, but stayed to deal with the rest.
He walked ahead, and directly knocked Feng Xueqin unconscious, so that she seemed drunk. After that, he told Liu Xinqi’s group to send her to the hospital.
Although Feng Xueqin passed out for now, she would soon wake up, because of the great pain on her face.
Gu Ning had used great force, and only plastic surgery could help her. Colaine medicines could also help her get better over time, but they weren’t aware of that. Anyway, it would be super painful for Feng Xueqin to survive during this time. Besides, it wasn’t easy to get rid of drug addiction. Even if Feng Xueqin was determined enough to do it, it would be a painful process as well.
Gu Ning went upstairs in an elevator afterwards, and met Qi Tianlin at the appointed gambling room, then sat down right across him.
Qi Tianlin squinted at Gu Ning and asked with curiosity as well as arrogance, “What did you do?”
“Disfigured her face, and forced her to drink a large amount of drugs,” Gu Ning said airily, like it was just a very common thing.
Ever since they had met each other for the first time, Qi Tianlin never thought that Gu Ning was an ordinary girl, so he wasn’t surprised by what Gu Ning had done to Feng Xueqin.
Qi Tianlin didn’t ask further, and began to gamble with Gu Ning.
Liu Xinqi and Wu Jinyi sent Feng Xueqin to the hospital together.
Because Wu Jinyi was Feng Xueqin’s good friend, Liu Xinqi asked her whether she knew the cause of today’s mess.
Wu Jingyi told him everything and Liu Xinqi was astonished to hear that the girl named Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter.
It was universally acknowledged in the high society that Tang Yunfan never married or had kids. However, he suddenly had a daughter
now.
Liu Xinqi thought that Gu Ning was probably a love child.
Feng Xueqin was crazy in love with Tang Yunfan. It was totally unacceptable for her when she found out that Tang Yunfan had a daughter and a woman. She wouldn’t allow anyone else to get what she couldn’t own. Therefore, she had schemed against Gu Man and Gu Ning. However, Wu Jinyi had no idea what Feng Xueqin had done to Gu Man and Gu Ning
After hearing that, Liu Xinqi had little sympathy for Feng Xueqin, because she asked for it herself. If she was scheming against ordinary people, he thought that it wasn’t a big deal, but she was digging her own grave if she was acting against the Tang family.
Although Liu Xinqi didn’t think of himself as a good man, he knew what he could do and what he shouldn’t do very well.
Gu Ning had gambled ten rounds with Qi Tianlin. Five were draws, while Gu Ning won the other five, and Qi Tianlin never even won once.
At this moment, Qi Tianlin was more displeased than ever. He was unwilling to accept the result, but he had to admit that he lost very badly.
“Another round?” Gu Ning looked at Qi Tianlin with a calm face.
“Forget it. It’s not fun at all,” Qi Tianlin said with his face full of disdain, as if he gave up not because he had lost many times, but because it was boring.
Gu Ning didn’t mind at all, and asked him for the money. “Sure. Now you should give me five hundred million yuan.”
“Five hundred million yuan is nothing in my eyes.” Qi Tianlin seemed as arrogant as usual, like he was doing Gu Ning a favor.
Gu Ning still didn’t mind it, because she just wanted to get the money.
“Great, bye-bye.” Once Gu Ning received the money, she stood up and was about to leave.
Qi Tianlin, however, was dissatisfied. “You’re leaving now right after you get the money?”
Gu Ning stopped for a second and said coldly, “So?”
“Do me a favor and I’ll pay you a hundred million yuan,” Qi Tianlin said in a domineering tone.
“Seriously? You’re the leader of the Kirin Gang, and there is something you can’t do?” Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised and teased him. “I’m curious why you turn to me for help?”
Qi Tianlin frowned. It was a humiliation to his face, which annoyed him, but he didn’t blame Gu Ning. “Zuo Jiangkui, the oldest apprentice of He Hongjie who is the well-known gambling magnate of HK will come to City B after a few days. We’ll gamble then, and it’s related to our business shares in private. I don’t want to lose at all, so I hope that you can help me win the game. I don’t care how much you bet or win while gambling with him. It totally depends on you, and I’ll pay you a hundred million yuan as well.”
Hearing that, Gu Ning seemed quite interested in it. She had heard of He Hongjie, the gambling magnate, and Zuo Jiangkui, his oldest apprentice. Both of them were super-rich people. If she could win the game, she would make a fortune.
Nevertheless, Gu Ning didn’t answer at once, but asked, “What kind of gambling? I only know how to play dice, and I’m not 100% confident that I’ll win. He’s an apprentice of the gambling magnate after all.”
Gu Ning wasn’t belittling herself, because she could have a draw at the least and it was impossible that she would lose, but she just didn’t want to make the promise that she would win right now.
“Dice is the most popular form of gambling right now, so we will obviously play dice,” Qi Tianlin said, then his voice was full of sarcasm. “I’m confident that I have a 50% chance to beat him. You never let me win a round even once, and now you tell me that you’re not confident?” Qi Tianlin thought that Gu Ning’s words humiliated him again.
“What if I lose?” Gu Ning asked.
Qi Tianlin thought for a while, then had an idea. “If you lose, you must work for me for a year.”
Hearing that, Gu Ning was displeased. “I don’t think it’s fair. If you insist on that, I’m afraid I can’t help you. I don’t lack a hundred million yuan anyway.”
Even though Gu Ning didn’t think that she would lose, she didn’t like an unfair deal.
Hearing that, Qi Tianlin frowned, but he knew that Gu Ning wasn’t dumb, so he changed his mind. “Well, benefits live with risks, and you can’t take all the benefits alone. If you lose, you won’t get the award and you must pay the money that you lose. How is that?”
“Interesting.” Gu Ning wore a sarcastic smile. “Do you think I’m taking advantage of you? I’m not the person who is going to gamble with him. It’s you who is asking me for a favor. Even if I lose, it’s unreasonable that you want me to bear the result for you.”
Gu Ning wasn’t willing to accept an unfair deal.
Chapter 724 Stupid Lu Qiuting
Qi Tianlin frowned again, but he thought that Gu Ning’s words made sense, so he compromised. “No matter if you win or lose, I’ll pay you a hundred million yuan, but you must bear the result of the gambling with him yourself. How is that?”
“Sounds good.”
Although Qi Tianlin was still at an advantage, Gu Ning agreed on it because she thought that it was acceptable.
After that, Gu Ning left. When she walked out of the Earth Nightclub, she still didn’t hear from Leng Shaoting, so she took a taxi and went home alone.
She wanted to send him a message, but was afraid that it might disturb him, so she gave up.
At the same time, the moment Liu Xinqi arrived at the hospital with Feng Xueqin, Feng Xueqin woke up in great pain. She was in a terrible condition now, and kept sweating, twitching and vomiting, which were the symptoms of withdrawal.
The unpleasant mental and physical effects caused by the wounds on her face and the drugs made Feng Xueqin suffer a lot.
At this moment, Feng Xueqin felt like she was living in hell, and ached to kill herself to get rid of the pain.
Even several male doctors failed to control her, so they had to inject her with a sedative. However, Feng Xueqin was heavily addicted to drugs, so the sedative wasn’t really effective, but at least the male doctors were able to control her now.
There was no medicine for drug addiction. She could only continue to be on drugs or get rid of it. Therefore, all that the doctors could do now was to deal with the wounds on her face.
After treating the wounds well, Feng Xueqin was pushed into a VIP ward. Before long, Feng Xueqin’s older sister-in-law, Lu Qiuting, and younger sister-in-law, Tong Wen, came to visit her.
Wu Jinyi called Lu Qiuting and only told her to come, but Lu Qiuting accidentally put it on speaker, so Tong Wen who was sitting by her side heard it too.
Although Tong Wen and Feng Xueqin didn’t get along, they were a family after all.
Once Lu Qiuting and Tong Wen walked into the ward, they saw Feng Xueqin tied on the bed. She kept moving and struggling. but her face was wrapped in gauze bandages and her mouth was also shut by a piece of tape so that she couldn’t shout.
If she shouted it would affect the wounds on her cheeks, which would cause the wound to crack and become more and more serious.
“W-what has happened?” Both Lu Qiuting and Tong Wen were scared by the scene.
Wu Jinyi didn’t tell them many details on the phone, but just told them that Feng Xueqin was injured and was in the hospital now. They didn’t know how serious it was, but the scene before their eyes was very terrifying.
“Gu Ning did it. She disfigured Xueqin’s face and even forced her to drink a glass of drugs,” Wu Jinyi said.
“What? How dare that bitch do that to Xueqin!” Lu Qiuting was astonished and mad.
Hearing that, Liu Xinqi frowned, and a touch of disdain flashed by his eyes. However, for the sake of his business with the Feng family, he reminded Lu Qiuting out of kindness. “Mrs. Feng, I don’t think that the girl is someone you can mess with.”
Lu Qiuting was struck dumb for a second. She knew that Gu Ning wasn’t simple, but a stupid woman who was as arrogant as her wasn’t wiling to admit it. “So what? She’s just a bastard!”
“Well.” Liu Xinqi put on a sarcastic smile. “You see what has happened to Xueqin now, so you should know that you better stay away from her.”
He didn’t expect that Lu Qiuting was as stupid as Feng Xueqin.
Hearing that, Lu Qiuting shut her mouth.
“Who is Gu Ning? She’s so bold,” Tong Wen asked with curiosity. She didn’t feel angry just because Gu Ning had injured Feng Xueqin. Instead, she admired Gu Ning’s bravery very much. She understood that Feng Xueqin must have done something even more unpleasant beforehand for the girl to injure Feng Xueqin with no mercy at all. She knew Feng Xueqin’s personality very well, and Feng Xueqin already annoyed many people on normal days.
“She’s Tang Yunfan’s daughter,” Wu Jinyi said.
“What?” Hearing that, Tong Wen was shocked. “Hasn’t Tang Yunfan never gotten married or had any kids?”
If it was true, she now figured out the grudge between Gu Ning and Feng Xueqin.
Feng Xueqin must have done something to hurt Gu Ning, then Gu Ning took revenge.
“Tang Yunfan hasn’t gotten married or had any kids, and she is just a bastard!” Lu Qiuting said with anger. It seemed that it was bad that Tang Yunfan had a kid without getting married. She actually had the same idea as Feng Xueqin.
“Qiuting, mind your language! I don’t think that there is anything wrong with the fact that Tang Yunfan has a daughter without getting married. Why do you have to call the girl bastard? Do you think that you can mess with the Tang family?” Tong Wen criticized Lu Qiuting. She was completely disappointed in her two sister-in-laws, because both of them were stupid women who were digging their own graves.
“You…” Lu Qiuting was displeased, but she had to admit that Tong Wen was right. “Even so, the little bitch can’t get away with it easily. I must seek justice for Xueqin!”
“I think that Feng Xueqin asked for it herself. We should feel lucky that the Tang family let us get away with what she did,” Tong Wen said and pointed out the truth.
“Tong Wen, how can you say that? Xueqin is a member of our family. How can you side with an outsider against her?” Lu Qiuting blamed Tong Wen.
“Lu Qiuting, are you an idiot or something? It’s Feng Xueqin’s fault from the very beginning!” Tong Wen almost wanted to slap Lu Qiuting’s face to wake her up.
“You…” Lu Qiuting didn’t know what to say now, because she knew that Tong Wen was right.
“Mrs. Feng, I think you better control yourself, or the whole Feng family will be involved in trouble because of you. You know nothing about what has happened, and you want to seek justice? Not to mention that you have no ability to mess with the Tang family, you better keep a distance from Gu Ning too. You should know Gu Ning’s special relationship with the Kirin Gang. If she dared to injure Feng Xueqin right in the Earth Nightclub which is owned by the Kirin Gang, the senior management of the Kirin Gang must have allowed her to do so,” Liu Xinqi said.
Liu Xinqi was scared of Gu Ning now after Wu Jinyi told him that. He sensed that this girl wasn’t simple at all.
