“What prenatal betrothal? That must be a joke! Quan Rui only came to Sanjiang City recently, how could there be a prenatal betrothal? Besides, look at him. Look at Quan Rui! He’s embracing another woman in the presence of all these people. Does he look like someone with a prenatal betrothal to Yuanyuan?”
Meng Fan’s boldness was getting out of hand. He no longer considered the repercussions of what he was saying and said whatever came to mind.
The onlookers watching the game began to whisper to one another again.
“Say, perhaps Master Quan does not like the eldest missy of the Jiang Family at all.”
“That’s possible. Why else would he be embracing another woman in front of her?”
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, who is the woman Master Quan is embracing? I’m so envious of her! To think that she was actually capable of captivating Master Quan at first sight!”
Just a moment ago, nobody dared to mention the woman Quan Rui was embracing in the presence of his fiancée. But now…
But now that Meng Fan brought it up, everyone grasped the opportunity to gossip.
The onlookers thought their voices too low to be overheard, but actually their comments were loud enough for the players around the casino table to hear.
Quan Rui listened quietly to what was being said, then his eyes flitted over to Jiang Bangyuan.
“Somebody wants you. Why don’t you tell him how you feel?”
At this, everyone fell silent.
What did Master Quan mean by this?
“Does he not care about Jiang Bangyuan at all?”
“Or has he been provoked and merely doesn’t want to let it show?”
Jiang Bangyuan was suddenly at the center of attention and everyone’s eyes waited for her to respond eagerly!
It was like an invisible hand was grabbing her by the throat. She found herself unable to breathe.
“What am I supposed to say in a situation like this?”
As the crowd waited for Jiang Bangyuan to speak, Luo Wei pushed his way through and handed some written documents to Quan Rui.
“Boss, here are the documents that you asked for.”
Quan Rui reached out his hand and took the papers without a change in his expression.
He flipped through them with his long slender fingers and his ink-black pupils darkened in concentration.
Bai Ran had been waiting to see how Quan Rui and Jiang Bangyuan would respond but Quan Rui appeared to have lost interest in the whole incident and read through the documents handed to him seriously.
Curious, she peered at the papers and saw that the documents were about her!
Bai Ran, the illegitimate daughter of Jiang Yuanshan of the Jiang Family. Her mother’s identity is unknown.
Age: 20 years old. Height: 167cm—
Bai Ran only read this much before Quan Rui flipped the page.
The next page was full of text. Bai Ran was not interested in reading about her own past. She asked him, “Why are you researching about me? Actually, in the first place, why do you have all my personal information?”
“Obviously, I’m trying to understand you,” Quan Rui replied without glancing up from the page.
This was his way of doing things. He had to have a clear understanding of everything in order to have everything firmly under his control.
This was how he controlled any situation with ease.
If he wanted to be in control of this situation as well, naturally, he had to understand her who was a part of it.
“Why would you need to understand me? Isn’t it more important to take care of yourself instead? What do you intend to do if you lose? Also, you are officially Jiang Bangyuan’s betrothed. You have the wolf by the ears now, so there’s no way for you to back down. If you don’t settle this properly, your reputation will be in ruins for a long time, you know?”
Bai Ran raised her eyebrows. Although the observers were waiting for her to embarrass herself, she was ultimately a nobody and no one would be interested in her affairs for long.
Things were very different for Quan Rui. For a man like him, if his pride and reputation were to be damaged, he would have to live with the rippling effects that would last for a long time.
Quan Rui thought Bai Ran sounded more like she was waiting to be amused than anything, and he laughed loudly instead of getting angry.
