Chapter 831: Disguising as a Pig to Eat a Tiger (2)

Ling Sheng did not care. “You can apologize with your death!”
Huo Xuanzhou sighed extremely regretfully. “You don’t know this, but Jun Shiyan is even a duke. In terms of power and status, he’s much more impressive than that mascot king from the Rong Family.”
Ling Sheng really did not know this. Upon hearing him mention it, she asked, “What duke?”
“The Cape Family. On his grandpa’s side, that title has been passed down for generations. They monopolize mineral resources and are in the financial sector, which are the most profitable industries. In Europe, 30% of the real estate belongs to his family.” Huo Xuanzhou had not expected her to not even know this. He was full of disdain. “Before you looked for him, didn’t you check his family background?”
Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself. Do you have to check on other people’s backgrounds first to see how much money they have when you’re in love? The richest man in the world is already the richest, all right? Who knew that there would be so many other messy nobility titles.
Upstairs, Huo Ci and the others had also come down.
Ling Sheng could feel the low, restrained pressure on her father immediately. It was very cold and felt irritable, making her unable to breathe for a moment. Upon seeing his dark, handsome face, she mustered up her courage before asking softly, “Father, did something happen to my Fifth Uncle?”
“Scram! What could have happened to your Fifth Uncle? You should curse him instead!” Huo Ci had lost too many times, so he was extremely angry inwardly. He had not expected to lose in those rounds.
He did not care about the money. He had plenty of money. He could still afford to lose that little bit. What he cared about was that he had not won all this time. When the group of them saw that they had won enough, they then said that they were unwilling to play anymore. They didn’t even give him the chance to turn the tables. He could not take this lying down!
“Then, what happened to you?” As soon as Ling Sheng finished speaking, Su Xiyin dragged her away.
Su Xiyin whispered, “Ignore him. He must have lost at mahjong again.”
“Is my father good at playing mahjong?” Ling Sheng glanced over to the side and saw her few uncles on the sofa, their faces were shining full of happiness. They were even talking to her father beside them, saying things like he would win his losses back the next time and continuing tomorrow night.
Su Xiyin shook her head. “He loses every bet. Yet, he never learns his lesson every time and gets dragged away to give money to others. I wonder how much he has lost in the past few years.”
However, it was the Lunar New Year, and they did not lack that tiny bit of money. If they wanted to have fun, they could have fun. As long as they were happy.
Xiao Hui suddenly shouted excitedly and greeted her. “Feifei, you’re finally back. We’ve all been waiting for you for a long time. Look at your uncles and aunties. They dote on Feifei the most.”
Huo Feifei greeted her mother with an extremely haughty expression. She raised her head and puffed out her chest, getting into her stance. Then, she pulled the man beside her and introduced him. “Mother, this is Edward, my fiancé.”
She finally came back with her head held high. She would no longer have to receive dirty looks from the Huo Family. She was about to become a princess consort, so everyone would envy her and look at her in a different light.
Ling Sheng, who quite liked gossip and excitement, pulled Huo Xuanzhou to the side. They could see the newcomers from the front.
Huo Feifei was quite pretty. Perhaps it was because she had studied abroad, but her makeup was very thick and European. Her fiancé, Edward, also looked very energetic. He was very tall, but he did not look handsome at all.
Huo Xuanzhou said to Ling Sheng, “Why is he so ugly? He must be older than me!”
Ling Sheng held back her laughter. What was he blurting out the truth for? She let out a low cough and lowered her voice. “Don’t have overly high expectations. He has a good family background and is even a prince. It’s good enough that he has a rank. You can’t expect him to be handsome, rich, and have a good family background altogether, right? Such a person is very rare.”
