Chapter 756: 198: Self-inflicted_3
Let everyone see that although Zheng Xianjing isn’t of the Zheng family bloodline, she resembles the Zheng family more than the real blood members. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zheng Xianjing has been made such a big fool!
“It’s Ni Yang’s fault! It’s all that little bitch!” Zheng Xianjing’s eyes turned red in grievance.
Zheng Lingling slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes shifted from blame to heartache, “I didn’t expect Ni Yang to be so arrogant!” It was just her first day back and she dared to openly bully Zheng Xianjing!
“Mom, you have to get revenge for me!” Zheng Xianjing said.
Zheng Lingling patted Zheng Xianjing’s hand, “Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time in the future. I’ll first get you changed into a fresh set of clothes.”
Zheng Xianjing nodded.
The people attending today’s banquet were all prestigious figures in Beijing.
“Eh, have you heard? Mr. Du from the south came to our Beijing not long ago.”
“Mr. Du? Which Mr. Du?”
“From the way you’re talking, how many people are worthy of being called Mr. Du?”
After hearing that, the person gasped, “Is it Mr. Du from the Ten Miles Casino?”
“Exactly! The master who rules the Ten Miles Casino!”
When Zheng Xianjing walked out after changing her clothes, she heard this conversation, she instinctively slowed down her steps.
She also knew a bit about the Mr. Du from the Ten Miles Casino.
She heard about him when she was sitting in the teahouse, listening to the storytelling.
Mr. Du was indeed a big shot who had risen from a sea of blood and carnage!
It was said that he was over thirty this year, without a wife or children.
Although he did have two concubines.
In ancient times, having a concubine also meant having a mistress.
Now, the term ‘concubine’ no longer exists in China.
However, Mr. Du had long renounced his Chinese citizenship, so the monogamy law of China could not restrain him.
Yet, such a man could become the head honcho of the Ten Miles Casino.
There were many legends about Mr. Du, but few people had actually seen him.
Zheng Xianjing didn’t expect that Mr. Du would come to Beijing.
If she had the chance to get close to him, it would certainly catch everyone’s attention.
Ni Cuihua nodded.
Shangguan Dehui looked at Zheng Suyu, his eyes full of disbelief.
Years ago, when he was still a child, he had seen Zheng Suyu a few times.
At that time, Zheng Suyu was young and promising, a famous talent. She was always surrounded by a group of scholars, she was really high-profile and was a legend in their circle.
Who would have thought that things change over time, the talented woman of decades ago had now become like this.
Now, Zheng Suyu was disheveled, skinny, and had a vacant look in her eyes, her past glory nowhere to be seen.
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, who would believe that this woman was once the highly talented figure of the past.
Who knows what Zheng Suyu had really been through.
Shangguan Dehui’s eyes were full of pity.
The old Madame said again, “Yangyang, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxu, come over here and say hello to your great aunt.”
At her words, Ni Yang, Shangguan Xi, and Shangguan Xu came over.
The three of them politely greeted their great aunt.
Zheng Suyu began spinning excitedly, “Ha! I’m a great aunt! I’m a great aunt! The great aunt is here!” Suddenly, her face turned pale, as if she had seen something terrifying. She screamed in horror, “Ah! A ghost! A ghost is coming to kill me! Please, don’t kill me! Let me go!”
