Finally someone asked, finally someone asked!!
This is what they wanted to know!!!
However, Li Xingwan just looked at her calmly. "You probably don’t know how much your daughter-in-law lost to Little Mobao in mahjong, do you?"
"Wha... what?" Madam Zhou was shocked. "How much can a child win?"
"It’s nothing really, just the price of a jade bracelet."
The price of a jade bracelet?
What kind of jade bracelet?
"That’s right, the emerald green kind." Little Mobao smiled and gestured.
That must be worth millions, right?
Madam Zhou suddenly remembered something. She recalled such an emerald bracelet. It was passed down from the Zhou Family. You could say it was a family heirloom.
Later, after having the current daughter-in-law, she gave it to her daughter-in-law. She instructed her to keep it well.
No no no, it won’t be... it won’t be that one...
It surely can’t be that one.
Then Li Xingwan said, "I heard that bracelet is very precious, valued at over a hundred million. It’s still your ancestral heirloom."
Valued at over a hundred million, an ancestral heirloom...
Pfft! Madam Zhou almost spat out blood!
Isn’t that the one she gave?
She played mahjong and even lost something worth over a hundred million!? And it’s still an ancestral heirloom she gave.
"This wastrel!" Madam Zhou became furious. She rolled up her sleeves and stormed out. "I must beat that damn wastrel to death."
Everyone saw Madam Zhou rush out. They all sympathized. In high society circles, playing cards on a large scale is common. They disdain small rounds.
Betting billions is normal.
Throwing money around like dirt.
But it’s the first time they’ve heard of losing an ancestral heirloom.
"Miss Li, you haven’t answered the previous question yet." At this moment, Madam Liu stepped forward. She looked sympathetically at Madam Zhou’s departing figure.
Li Xingwan looked at her in surprise. "Didn’t your daughter-in-law say last time that your son couldn’t make it? She wanted to find a lover outside? Why are you still here? Could it be that she didn’t go through with it?"
Pfft! Madam Liu almost spat out blood.
"Whether it’s possible or not, you can go home and ask her." Li Xingwan said casually, "Anyway, that’s what she said to me. I’m just curious, how come Young Master Liu failed at such a young age? How about you tell us about it?"
Young Master Liu was always messing around outside. He started at sixteen or seventeen. Later he was schemed against, and after playing for so long, his body naturally couldn’t take it. This wasn’t a secret in the circle.
Madam Liu’s daughter-in-law often played mahjong with Li Xingwan. Among the high-society ladies, what kind of thing doesn’t happen.
Madam Liu’s vision darkened. She almost fainted. She was actually asked about such things in person.
"You! You! You stop spouting nonsense."
"Whether I’m spouting nonsense or not doesn’t matter. What matters is you should go back quickly to look after your daughter-in-law. Don’t let your son fail, and then your daughter-in-law runs away too."
Madam Liu was fuming. She gritted her teeth and rushed out in a hurry.
This must not happen.
Everyone looked at Madam Liu sympathetically. The son was disappointing, and the daughter-in-law was about to leave.
"Wait a minute! We were talking about your business!" Someone immediately spoke up. It was Madam Tang, who played mahjong with Madam Fu.
Li Xingwan laughed. "Didn’t you give me the chance to respond?"
