Zhang Yongjin really wanted to tell Zhang Deqin that he was bullied, but after his complexion changed for a long time, he still didn't say it.
Because this matter was too shameful, he really couldn't say it. Zhang Yongjin didn't want to rely on his sister's strength to solve the problem, but he wanted to take revenge and wash away his shame.
"Sister, it's nothing, I was driving too fast and almost hit someone. I suddenly braked and hit my head on the glass." Zhang Yongjin said with a flushed face.
"You're lying. What's the matter with the bruises on your hands? What's the matter with the dust on your knees? Did you fight with someone and you don't dare to say it?" Seeing Zhang Yongjin's evasive gaze, Zhang Deqin's eyes turned cold and she snapped.
"I … I …" Although Zhang Yongjin was tall and strong, but he had an unusual fear towards his sister. This fear had been deeply imprinted in his bones, and he tried his best but was unable to get rid of it.
Just when Zhang Yongjin was ready to confess, Long Zhengyu, Long Zhenglin, and Tan Xiu pushed the door and entered.
Seeing Long Zhengyu and his group coming, Zhang Deqin returned to her seat and restored her elegant appearance. Zhang Yongjin was lucky enough to escape a disaster.
"Chief Long, you brought us here and then ignored us, is this the hospitality of your Long's Dining Hall?" Zhang Deqin didn't wait for Long Zhengyu to open his mouth and took the initiative to speak.
"Chief Zhang is too serious. Today, apart from you, the Long's Dining Hall also has more important guests. This Long naturally can't stay in the room to accompany you." Long Zhengyu smiled and said carelessly, "Moreover, our Long's Dining Hall's service has always been top-notch. No matter what Chief Zhang needs, as long as you press the call bell on the table, the waiter will be the first to satisfy you."
Compared to Zhang Deqin's aggressiveness, Long Zhengyu's words and actions revealed a noble demeanor, making people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze and ashamed of their inferiority.
"You …" Zhang Deqin obviously didn't expect that Long Zhengyu would give tit for tat. She subconsciously wanted to curse, but recalling Long Zhengyu's unparalleled eloquence, she didn't dare to continue bickering with Long Zhengyu. Instead, her eyes fell on Tan Xiu.
But after glancing at Tan Xiu, Zhang Deqin didn't want to look at Tan Xiu a second time.
This was because Tan Xiu's attire was too shabby. He wore a checkered shirt that could be found anywhere on the street, a pair of jeans that had been washed white, and canvas shoes that almost revealed his big toes. From head to toe, everything he wore cost no more than 100 yuan.
Zhang Deqin had been pampered since she was a child and was used to a life of luxury. She firmly believed that it was difficult for a poor family to have a noble son, so she had a natural sense of superiority and disdain for those who were born poor.
"Chief Long, may I know who the honored guest you are talking about is? Can you introduce him to me?" Zhang Deqin looked at the back of Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin with a puzzled expression and said with a smile.
"After not seeing you for a while, Chief Zhang has become humorous. You have invited Jia Ruidao to help you, and we have invited Brother Tang to help us. If Chief Zhang doesn't mind, then we can start the gambling house. "Long Zhengyu couldn't help but sneer inside his heart as he could clearly see Zhang Deqin's contempt towards Tang Xiu in her eyes." Alright.
When he saw Tan Xiu for the first time, Long Zhengyu was indeed a bit disappointed. But because of his younger brother, Long Zhengyu didn't judge a book by its cover. Instead, he carefully looked at Tan Xiu, so that he didn't miss Tan Xiu. The following matter seemed to prove that Tan Xiu was far smarter than he imagined.
Although Long Zhengyu didn't know what happened between Tan Xiu and Zhang Yongjin, Long Zhengyu absolutely didn't believe that Zhang Yongjin was panic-stricken because he recognized the wrong person.
Long Zhengyu saw with his own eyes that Hu Wanjun and Xue Renfei had a trace of guilty conscience flashing in their eyes when they saw Tan Xiu. Although the panic on their faces was fleeting, Long Zhengyu was sensitive enough to see it.
One person could say that he recognized the wrong person, but how could three people recognize the wrong person at the same time?
"What? You asked him to help you?" Upon hearing Long Zhengyu's words, Zhang Deqin's pair of beautiful eyes instantly turned round as a sharp voice came from her throat.
"If this old man remembers correctly, there doesn't seem to be such a person in the circle of Shuangqing Province." Jia Ruidao looked at Tan Xiu from top to bottom as he said with a sinking tone, "Chief Long, are you joking with this old man?"
"Chief Zhang, Grandmaster Jia, I'm not joking with you. Brother Tang is indeed not a person in the circle. In fact, after Grandmaster Jia said that he would help Chief Zhang, no one in the circle dared to help this Long. This Long was forced to ask someone from outside the circle to help." Long Zhengyu seemed to be very satisfied with the effect caused by the appearance of Tan Xiu as he patiently explained.
Listening to Long Zhengyu's slightly helpless and bitter words, a trace of pride flashed on Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao's face. They finally believed Long Zhengyu's words.
"Chief Long is really amazing. You can even find a hidden expert among the common people. I'm ashamed of my inferiority." Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao hadn't spoken yet when Zhang Yongjin's loud laughter resounded in the room.
Although Zhang Yongjin had seen Tan Xiu together with Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin, he was flustered and didn't think much about it. But now that he knew that Tan Xiu was unexpectedly invited by Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin to deal with Jia Ruidao, he felt that it was extremely absurd and ridiculed the way he looked at Long Zhengyu.
Although he didn't know Tan Xiu's real identity, Zhang Yongjin was almost sure that Tan Xiu was a disciple of the Agriculture School, and it was very likely that he was a villager from Walled Hill Village.
Letting such a country bumpkin compete with Jia Ruidao, a gambling expert, wasn't this the biggest joke in the world?
"Interesting, it's really interesting. We thought that after we invited Grandmaster Jia, there wouldn't be any gambling expert in the Shuangqing Province who would dare to show up. But we never thought that Chief Long would actually be able to invite an expert from outside the circle!"
"Chief Long, if you want to give Walled Hill Village to us, then just say it. Why did you invite someone to deliberately insult Grandmaster Jia?"
Along with Zhang Yongjin's loud laughter, Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun also couldn't help but agree.
If it was a competition of fighting strength, Zhang Yongjin, Xue Renfei, and Hu Wanjun were a bit afraid of Tan Xiu. But if it was a competition of gambling skills, the three of them weren't inferior to Tan Xiu. Not to mention that the one who would compete with Tan Xiu in gambling skills was not them, but the Shuangqing Province's King of Gambling, Jia Ruidao.
Recalling the scene of them being beaten by Tan Xiu again and again, Zhang Yongjin and the other two gnashed their teeth in hatred. Now that they finally got the opportunity, they naturally couldn't help but ridicule him.
"Do you know this Mr. Tang?" Looking at the unusual reaction of the three people, Zhang Deqin asked with a puzzled expression.
It was also at this time that Zhang Yongjin and the other two realized that they had lost control of themselves.
"Big Sis, I, Yongjin, and Wanjun went to Walled Hill Village yesterday and met this brat at the hilltop. We originally wanted to buy some game from this brat, but this brat refused and even had a fierce dispute with us. Therefore, we got angry when we saw this brat!" Xue Renfei knew that he couldn't deceive Zhang Deqian, so he simply stated a part of the facts.
"Big Sis, how could this brat be worthy of the two words' Mister '? As the saying goes,' Barren hills and unruly rivers give birth to unruly people '. This brat has neither culture nor quality. He only has brute force, that's all." Recalling the matter of his car's front cover being smashed, Hu Wanjun gnashed his teeth and said.
Zhang Yongjin also had the intention to ridicule Tan Xiu, but when he saw the faint smile on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth from the corner of his eyes, his body subconsciously shivered and didn't dare to say anything.
"Well, since the people from both sides have arrived, we can start the gambling game. After this game, this old man still has to catch the plane to Macau." Jia Ruidao glared at Long Zhengyu with dissatisfaction as he spoke in a bad mood.
Obviously, Jia Ruidao had heard the words of Zhang Yongjin and the other two. He felt that today's gambling game was a complete farce. Long Zhengyu invited Tan Xiu not to win the gambling game, but rather to humiliate him. Therefore, Jia Ruidao already bore a grudge against Long Zhengyu in his heart.
Seeing the expression in Jia Ruidao's eyes, Long Zhengyu couldn't help but feel his heart thumping. He knew that the opposite party had misunderstood him, and he also knew the consequences of offending the Gambling King.
However, thinking that Jia Ruidao had already chosen to stand on the opposite side of him, Long Zhengyu quickly became indifferent.
"If Brother Tang doesn't have any objection, then let's start the gambling game." Long Zhengyu didn't explain anything, but instead, he looked at Tan Xiu with an inquiring gaze.
Tan Xiu wanted to ask about the type of gambling game and the gambling rules, but he swallowed the words back when they were at the tip of his tongue.
Tan Xiu knew that if he asked, he would definitely be laughed at. Moreover, he would also implicate Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin to be looked down upon by others. Therefore, it was better not to ask.
"I don't have any problem, we can start at any time." Indifferently sweeping a glance at Zhang Yongjin and the others, Tan Xiu didn't have the slightest look of anger, but rather indifferently said.
Seeing Tan Xiu's unfathomable look, Jia Ruidao coldly snorted and then pressed the call bell on the table.
"Brat, do you want to compete in size, odd or even odd or other games?" While waiting for the waiter, Jia Ruidao condescendingly said to Tan Xiu.
Hearing the word "brat", Tan Xiu's eyes couldn't help but flash with anger, because this appellation was too harsh.
"Old thing, choose what you are best at, so that you won't have to find excuses when you lose." When Tan Xiu discovered that his blindly retreating would only be exchanged for the other party's bullying, Tan Xiu no longer retreated and launched a fierce counterattack.
"You … since you want to humiliate yourself, then let's compete in size. It's simple and time-saving." Jia Ruidao angrily said.
"Of course, I don't dare to ask you." Hearing Jia Ruidao's words, Tan Xiu was overjoyed in his heart and blurted out.
What Tan Xiu feared the most was that Jia Ruidao would propose a complex game. If he did, he would have to spend time to figure out the rules of the game and adapt to the rules of the game. He was afraid that the learning and adaptation time would be too long and he would lose the gamble.
Although Tan Xiu had never played gambling, he had seen it on TV. He had also seen it when he went to the KTV with his classmates. He was not a stranger to gambling. Tan Xiu was afraid that if he agreed too late, Jia Ruidao would go back on his words. Therefore, when Jia Ruidao's words fell, he couldn't wait to agree.
