Chapter Seventy-One: Against the Fox

  Zhang Sun Wuguo covered his forehead with his hand, feeling a mess in his mind, and the scenes that had just happened flashed before his eyes.

  "Mother, I've made up my mind!"

  The daughter stood in front of her and said resolutely. She said she would quit the entertainment industry, she said she would listen to her elders and go to college, but in fact, she only had one sentence, she must protect Wu Yuan, she fell in love with him!

  The problem is, you fell in love with an underage boy, did you know that?

  It's really karma. When she was 17 years old, she also said the same thing to her mother, and at that time, she was pregnant too, with a big belly, using the same tone of voice.

  Yu Xian Rong's personality is just like hers, gentle on the outside and firm on the inside. Once she has made up her mind about something, she won't change it, especially when it comes to liking a boy, she is willing to give everything.

  At that time, she was like this, ignoring her family's opposition and marrying Li Shimin as a couple, making her parents and brother furious.

  Now, should I be grateful that at least Xian Rong doesn't have a big belly, and this little rascal in front of me still leaves room for redemption.

  "Do you love Xiāng Róng?"

  After asking this question, Zhang Sun Wu suddenly felt that his IQ had dropped a lot, just like when his parents looked at him with a big belly and asked helplessly.

  "I don't love."

  Wu Yuan's response was indeed filled with his characteristic nonsense, "I really like Xian Rong, she's a good girl, but I'm still young and she's only 16 years old. Your Majesty, we're both minors, still in high school, it's really irresponsible to be talking about romance at this age. We should focus on studying hard, strive to get into a top university, establish our own careers..."

  "Speak plainly!"

  The blue veins on his forehead jumped twice, and Zhangsun Wuji restrained himself from throwing the teacup at Wu Yuan.

  "Miss, you also know, I and Xian Rong, now what's the situation, I don't even know when did Xian Rong start liking me, this is purely her infatuation, has nothing to do with me, I never..."

  "Shut up!"

  Chang Sun felt the anger in her chest was about to erupt, and she didn't know why she still wanted to talk to this bastard. Suddenly, she understood that back then, her parents had seen Li Shimin's unpleasant expression, knowing that their daughter had been seduced by this bastard, but for their daughter's happiness, they had to pretend to be polite!

  At that time, I was strong-faced and fell in love with that man one mouthful at a time, willing to give up everything for him. I don't know how heartbreaking it is for my parents!

  "Do you still think Xian Rong is joking? She has already staked everything she has to help you!"

  At that time, parents kindly asked Li Shimin when to marry their daughter, where to hold the wedding banquet, and who to invite, all of which are the same as now!

  She was actually smiling happily at the time, thinking that her parents had really accepted Li Shimin!

  No, absolutely not. It's just that I have Yu Xian Rong in my heart and because of my personality, once I've made up my mind about a man, I'll see it through to the end, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride...

  It's come back to haunt me! The only consolation is that Xian Rong didn't get tangled up with this little brat!

  "Girl, calm down, calm down. Things have come to this point, getting angry won't solve anything. We should look forward to the future and work together to resolve our current troubles."

  Wu Yuan continued to mutter to himself, just like that time before he put down his gun, revealing his concern.

  "What do you think I should do?"

  Chang Sun Wu suddenly stopped being angry, and was actually smiling brightly.

  "We'll call Xian Rong in and tell her the truth. Your Ladyship, you can persuade her not to get angry. Of course, if she wants to hit me or scold me, I won't fight back. This way is much better than continuing to deceive Xian Rong while wasting a lot of manpower and resources on lawsuits, only for me to reveal my identity in the end."

  "Well, since you already have this good idea, why don't you implement it?"

  Chang Sun looked at Wu Yuan with a smile that was not quite a smile. She knew exactly what this rascal had in mind.

  Men are all the same, they do something wrong, knowing what to do, but hesitating and fearing that being honest will make them lose something even better. Wu Yuan is also afraid that after revealing the truth, Yu Xianrong will cut ties with him completely!

  "Mom, I don't know Xian Rong's temper, I want to apologize to her, but I don't know how, such as taking her out to play for a few days or giving her roses before talking, I don't want to lose this friend, I hope she can forgive me."

  Wu Yuan spoke with utmost respect, but his face was utterly despicable in the eyes of Zhangsun Wugou. After kicking his daughter, he still wanted to be friends with her?

  Especially since he even took her out to play for a few days, who knows what would happen in those few days!

  No, this guy is using himself to make his daughter accept the fact that he is a minor, and then... again **takes advantage of his daughter!**

  "I think these methods are all useless, because no matter what you do or say, Xian Rong will break your head as soon as she hears the truth!"

  Chang Sun smiled innocently and nodded to himself, "Nowadays, the only person who can help you is me. This matter will eventually be exposed, but as Xian Rong's mother, I can make Xian Rong change her mind and arrange a few meetings to forgive you."

  Chang Sun Wuguo was right, Wu Yuan nodded continuously, this is also the reason why he invited Chang Sun Wuguo to his room.

  "Mother, what should I do?"

  Hurriedly refilling the cup of his eldest grandson Wu Gu, Wu Yuan asked with his hands on his thighs and nodding his head.

  "Hmm... Last time, you made me lose 300 million, but I didn't get angry afterwards, why?"

  "It's all thanks to your discerning eye that you arranged for me and Xian Rong to take photos in Yunzhou during the holidays, earning a lot of money, which made up for your losses."

  "Good, that's it. Now that you've revealed your identity, haven't you thought about how I can make a fortune using this method? I love money."

  Chang Sun's innocent hand gesture of counting money suddenly made Wu Yuan realize something.

  "Mom, isn't this bad?"

  Similar to the case of A, gambling was also very popular in the Tang Empire. All sorts of things could become a way of gambling, and recently, the hottest topic has been Wu Yuan's trial.

  Three years, five years, ten years, twenty years... Various prison terms have become the direction of gamblers' bets, and five to seven years has become the most popular betting interval. With hot spots, there are naturally cold spots, such as Wu Yuan's not guilty option, which is 1:500 odds.

  Naturally, except for madmen, no one would choose this option, as the evidence of drunk driving and illegal hijacking is very conclusive, and no one can turn the case around.

  However, if someone bets on major companies now that Wu Yuan will be exempt from prosecution, and when Wu Yuan is indeed exempt from prosecution, this person will make a huge profit.

  Forgot to mention, Wu Yuandou secretly placed bets with several major companies, betting on the option of exempting himself from prosecution, with a total amount of one million. It's not that he didn't want to bet more, but he only had so much money in his hands, and the company would adjust the odds according to the amount of bets placed.

  After some thought, Wu Yuan decided to tell the truth.

  "Mother, I've actually placed a bet on myself and it's quite a large sum, so..."

  "You idiot, who said I'd bet for you? I'm the banker!"

  It's an industry of profiteering, and Chang Sun Wu naturally wouldn't let it go. A company she secretly holds shares in has recently released odds on the outcome of Wu Yuan's trial.

  The odds for five years are 1:2.3, seven years are 1:1.9, and one year is a five-fold payout. The month is calculated by rounding up or down. There aren't many people betting because of the numerous options, calculating the probability, the chances of winning are slim.

  But what if it was known in advance that Wu Yuen would be acquitted or exempt from prosecution?

  Chang Sun Wu can completely raise the odds of 1:2.3 to 1:3 or even 1:5!

  Everyone has a gambling mentality, especially in this situation, facing high-stakes betting, many people will bet on it, and Zhang Sun Wuji doesn't have to worry about losing money, any investment is a sure win!

  Moreover, Zhangsun Wuji can make a bet with someone!

  Betting among the wealthy can be even more cruel, with billions of dollars at stake under the guise of saving face. Yesterday, after Long Sunwu announced his relationship with Yu Xianrong, he ran into a few annoying people who sourly said that Long Sunwu was willing to let his daughter enter the entertainment industry, and then talked about the dark side of the entertainment industry. Some even said that if Long Sunwu had any skills, he should get Wu Yuan off scot-free, which would be truly thinking of his daughter's well-being.

  Those hateful guys, Changsun Wugou is itching to hate them now. After learning Wu Yuan's true identity, it's going to be fun. She can pretend to be unable to bear the stimulation and set up a scheme to make those guys pay a heavy price.

  "I'm gonna make sure Wu Yuan gets off scot-free, anyone who's not satisfied, come and bet on it!"

  Thank you for Yang Xiusheng, Ye Zhiqiu's reward and Shu Shengchu's tip. Thank you.
