Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: Let the Past Be the Past

Ling Xue found her master and said casually, "Master, Ye Fan and Mengyao don’t care about past grievances, they haven’t even taken it to heart."

"You’re deceiving me, don’t I know it?" The God of Gambling sighed, assuming his disciple was just trying to reassure him to prevent worry, and said with a teaching tone, "When mentioning Mr. Ye and President Chu in front of outsiders, don’t randomly call them to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Master, I’ve already met Ye Fan and Mengyao, they really don’t hold grudges about past grievances." Ling Xue vowed confidently.

"You’re deceiving me again." The God of Gambling didn’t believe it, with a dim look, he said, "I know you’re being filial, and are afraid I’d be anxious and worried, that’s why you’re trying with good words to guide me, as your teacher, I understand."

"No, Master, everything I said is true." Ling Xue was almost frantic, as her master didn’t believe her, she was at a loss for words.

She recounted her encounter with Ye Fan and Mengyao, then said seriously, "Master, don’t you know me? Even if I were to lie to you, I wouldn’t use such important news to deceive you."

"Everything you said is true?" The God of Gambling believed it seven-tenths, but still had doubts.

"Absolutely true." Ling Xue guaranteed.

The God of Gambling stared at Ling Xue for a while, then believed her words, muttering, "Seems I judged them with a petty heart instead of as gentlemen. Yes, given their status and identity, if they really wanted to pursue responsibility, there would be many enemies already. Luckily, I just let Guan Feitian mess around and didn’t get involved, otherwise, I’d have been dead long ago and wouldn’t have the chance to apologize."

He felt extremely ashamed, worried to death, but in the end, Ye Fan and Mengyao hadn’t even paid attention to him.

Thinking closely, it was understandable, given his status, it was normal they didn’t take him seriously.

Not pursuing him was their generosity, naturally, the God of Gambling was overjoyed, what more could be said?

"Successfully traversing this crisis, the lineage of the God of Gambling can continue, which is more important than anything." The God of Gambling sighed, "Luckily, you’re acquainted with Mr. Ye and President Chu, otherwise I wouldn’t have known what to do."

"Master, now you can finally rest assured." Ling Xue laughed, "I’ve said for a long time, Ye Fan and Mengyao aren’t petty people, but you didn’t believe it, if you’d believed sooner, you wouldn’t have watched faces."

"I’m completely at ease now, thanks to you, thanks to you indeed." The God of Gambling smiled, unable to hide his joy, "Didn’t you have grievances toward Ye Fan before? How is it that now you seem to hold no grudge?"

"I’m the Little Gambling God, defeated by him in gambling, what more is there to say? Naturally, I was angry after losing so thoroughly in front of so many people, I do have a face, some resentment is to be expected." Ling Xue said, "But, as for Ye Fan and President Chu’s character, I highly admire them."

"This trip has achieved its purpose, I have nothing more to worry about." The God of Gambling cautiously said, "Do you think I have the qualification to thank Mr. Ye and President Chu face-to-face?"

"Master, I think this is a bit tricky, leave the thank-you to me, I know Ye Fan and Mengyao, I’ll go find them to play after this, they really do welcome me." Ling Xue said, "If master went, surely it’d be thank-yous all around, this kind of cliché, Ye Fan and Mengyao really dislike it."

"Alright, since you said so, I’ll be considerate, this old thing can’t be ungrateful." The God of Gambling seriously said, "Since you’re acquainted with Mr. Ye and President Chu, it’s good to communicate well, it’ll greatly help the lineage of the God of Gambling in the future."

The God of Gambling understood the stakes, there’s no need for Ling Xue to have deep connections with Ye Fan and Mengyao, maintaining certain exchanges would send a big signal to outsiders, greatly benefiting the God of Gambling lineage.

Ling Xue was very displeased with her master’s utilitarian mindset but could only obediently listen to his teachings.

After some advice, the God of Gambling left Dongfang City, full of joy.

He had been cautious upon arrival, facing obstacles everywhere and feeling desperate, but now, truly invigorated.

After sending her master off, Ling Xue naturally headed to the villa where Ye Fan and Mengyao were.

...

In the yard, under the sunshade, Ye Fan, Mengyao, Jian Tao, and Ling Xue sat together while Xixi played nearby.

"I didn’t expect your relationship to be this good. If not for this accidental encounter, we wouldn’t have known about your relationship." Mengyao looked at Ling Xue, then Jian Tao, a bit surprised.

Ye Fan said, "Looking at your outward appearances, you can’t tell, you’re close sisters, one with such a grown child, one still single, how you see, you’re not on the same path."

"Being human means you can’t just judge by appearances and make rash judgments." Ling Xue chuckled, "Jian Tao married less than a year after graduation, while I was honing skills alongside learning them. It’s no big deal, some of my junior high classmates and even elementary classmates, their children are in elementary school, or even middle school."

"Ling Xue is known in her close circle as an old maid who can’t get married, over thirty two, indeed not young anymore, this old maid’s title isn’t unwarranted." Jian Tao teased with a laugh.

"I’ll tear your mouth apart, daring to say whatever you want." Ling Xue glared fiercely at Jian Tao.

"Old maid who can’t get married." Xixi interjected inappropriately.

"Birds of a feather, you mother and daughter duo, none of you are good, look at you, you’ve spoiled Xixi. You said Lan Lan gave me that nickname, I think you’re the real culprit." Ling Xue grumbled angrily.

Ye Fan and Mengyao just laughed, not chiming in on this matter.

Jian Tao changed the subject, "How did you meet?"

"Don’t tell." Ling Xue’s face went dark, pleadingly looking at Ye Fan and Mengyao, "Embarrassing things, just keep it secret for me."

"Back in Zhuhai City, Ling Xue was taken to have a grand gamble with us, with the Jiangnan’s Song Family and Tang Family, Northeast Lu Family, and others. The heads of these families teamed up to give us a hard time. In the end, in gambling, Ling Xue lost completely to Ye Fan, lost thoroughly, and that’s how we met." Mengyao explained.

"I see." Jian Tao nodded.

Ling Xue glanced gratefully at Mengyao. At that time, there were conditions to the grand gamble, then Ling Xue was very proud, if she lost, she’d have to take off clothes; spurred by Qiu Wen, she really did.

The past was best left unmentioned, Ling Xue was truly grateful to Mengyao, sparing herself from Jian Tao’s ridicule.
