Quan Rui was thoroughly absorbed in the beautiful scenery nearby and was oblivious to the people and card game in front of him.
He never looked at Meng Fan even once, and this made Mang Fan feel slighted in a way he had never experienced before.
“He’s looking down on me, isn’t he?
Hmph!
Meng Fan glanced at Quan Rui, who was seated beside him, and asked provokingly, “What’s wrong? Don’t you need to look at your cards? Are you that confident? Or…are you giving up already?”
Meng Fan’s words oozed with sarcasm.
Quan Rui still did not retract his gaze. He merely parted his thin, cold lips to reply in a gentle voice.
“The person who’s in charge of looking at the cards on my behalf hasn’t arrived yet.”
Quan Rui still did not look at his cards even after saying this. He just got up and walked through the door.
The people crowded around the casino table didn’t dare stop Master Quan; they just consciously backed away to make room for him to pass.
The three individuals left behind at the casino table were utterly dumbfounded when Quan Rui up and left so abruptly.
Jiang Hao, in particular, was in speechless amazement. Moving close to Jiang Bangyuan’s ear, he whispered, “Eldest Sister, you should probably follow after him to see what’s going on. He was okay earlier. Why did he just leave like that? Many of my friends are here. Please don’t put me in an awkward position.”
Jiang Bangyuan nodded when she heard this. Then she, too, rose from her seat to follow after Quan Rui.
Although she had an arranged marriage with Quan Rui since young, they seldom had a chance to hang out alone.
Despite having met up frequently when they were kids, she still didn’t know what made him tick or figure out what he was thinking. Sometimes he was a total enigma.
After Jiang Bangyuan chased after Quan Rui, Meng Fan was left behind; this made him so furious that green veins bulged on his forehead.
He clenched his hands angrily into a fist and then and cracked his knuckles nervously.
On the other hand, what drama was playing out at the lawn outside the villa at that very moment?
Bai Ran had been digging through the lawn for close to half an hour now without luck.
“Where did it go? I saw her throw it somewhere nearby…” Bai Ran became slightly anxious. The patience she had displayed earlier was wearing thin.
The object, which had been tossed here, was essential to her. Thus, she couldn’t care less if her white dress was stained with mud.
She kneeled on the grass and stayed hunched over as her fingers dug furtively for the object of her obsession.
Laughing mockingly, a man and a lady suddenly approached Bai Ran while she was still kneeling on the ground amid her search.
The lady was dressed in a lemon yellow dress and wore a huge pearl necklace. She clung to a man dressed in a tuxedo and sneered gleefully while peering down at Bai Ran.
“Bai Ran, Chenglin already broke up with you. I’m the one he loves now. Why are you still bothering to look for your engagement ring? Don’t you feel that your current behavior is really like that of a homeless dog?”
The woman laughed heartily, but Xu Chenglin, whom she was clinging to, had some reservations. He turned back and said, “Yueping, that’s enough. Ranran is still your sister, no matter what.”
Xu Chenglin could not bear to watch Bai Ran kneel on the ground. It was impossible for his heart to not ache for her.
He had been engaged to Bai Ran for a month, and she had always treated him well the whole time.
But what Xu Chenglin didn’t expect was that his attempts to appease the anger of the lady beside him only made her rant louder.
“What sister? Get this straight! I, Jiang Yueping, am the third daughter of the Jiang Family. What is that Bai Ran? She ‘s merely an illegitimate daughter!” Jiang Yueping held her chin up arrogantly as her eyes filled with contempt and hostility as she glowered at Bai Ran.
