Chapter 592: Then let's make a bet

However, with the massive influx of national funds, the burden on her shoulders increased; how much money a person has, looking at the amount, might be enough.

But in the current Huaxia, money is needed everywhere, and this money is merely a drop in the bucket.

"I want to get to know you, want to be friends with you, I... have no friends," Le Rong said very sincerely.

A person's perspective on stocks represents that person's character.

Looking at stocks from An Yinan's perspective, a person like her simply doesn't understand this; she is enthusiastic and unrestrained, carrying a tiny bit of slyness.

Moreover, she wants to do it, and she dares to do it.

These are all the aspects she admires most; it makes her think of her own youth, and the age when she let go because she lacked the courage.

No... friends?

An Yinan widened her eyes; you are the First Madam of the Li Family, the people who want to be friends with you could probably circle the City, right?

You are telling me here that you have no friends?

Are you sure you aren't joking?

"I apologize for what the Li Family did; regardless of Li Yue's status, she is ultimately a child of the Li Family, and it is I, the First Madam, who failed to educate her well." Le Rong's apology had a bit more sincerity than Li Kun's.

Immediately, she pushed the car and the shops in front of An Yinan.

"These are Li Yue's apology gifts; they are what you deserve." Le Rong smiled, and facing these things, she didn't even blink an eye.

It is a place where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold; those shops are not a small number.

"This one, I know you won't want, so I will take it back." What Le Rong took away was the property deed for the villa.

Only now did An Yinan look at Le Rong in a new light; she is a person with deep thoughts, especially when facing people she is guarded against, her preferences and her ideas all have countless layers of concealment, even her gaze has concealing movements.

But...

Le Rong actually pointed out her thoughts in one sentence; this was something she hadn't expected.

"Want to ask how I knew?" Le Rong saw her expressionless face and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"Although this is our first meeting, I feel like we have known each other for a long time." Le Rong's first sentence made An Yinan pause.

She didn't have this feeling...

"The Li Family's choice can be to make friends or to make enemies."

"Since the person in charge is Li Kun, I only gave him one result: make friends."

"An An, the Li Family will not force you, but... the Six Great Families will not allow a new upstart to appear; the Li Family can stand by and watch, but the other families, I'm afraid..."

Le Rong sighed; she really wanted to see how far this girl could go and how long she could last.

This dark place should have had a ray of sunshine a long time ago to dispel the haze and illuminate those dark corners.

"The Six Great Families." How could An Yinan not know?

She had always been one to meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth; if the Li Family hadn't provoked her, she would have been at the Exchange every day, living her own little life.

The City has not yet returned, but Huaxia has already conducted negotiations with Eagle Country; these negotiations took a long time, but in her heart, the City is also a place of Huaxia.

"Be careful of the Xie Family." Li Kun spoke up at this moment.

He saw the difference in his mother; when his mother was in the Li Family, it was as if... her heart was dead.

But today, he saw a vivid mother; she had a lively soul and was a person of flesh and blood.

For this reason alone, he was willing to help Madam An behind the scenes.

"The Xie Family?" An Yinan thought about the Xie Family's past; recently, everyone's target had been placed on the Li Family, and this result was something she hadn't expected.

However...

The Xie Family, is it?

"Heh~" A light, cold laugh; her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Now... whoever makes a move, it seems I can chop off whoever's hand."

If those people think that all her assets are just this one Trading Card of hers, then they will probably have to accept her counterattacking fury.

She just didn't want to be exposed, but...

She is not a fool; as time passed, her capital had gathered to a terrifying degree; although not as much as the Six Great Families, she had the confidence that no one could outdo her if she wanted to stir up the stock market.

"The Six Great Families are not as simple as you think; the reason they became families means their roots are already deeply entrenched and cannot be shaken by just anyone." Li Kun reminded her silently.

He did it because of his mother, but he could only do as much as giving a reminder.

"Then let's make a bet." An Yinan raised her eyebrows; her smiling appearance looked as if she had the victory in her grasp.

"Oh?" Li Kun began to laugh.

Gambling—something his mother had strictly forbidden him from doing since he was small.

He had never heard this word from anyone's mouth either.

Today, he was fortunate enough to have someone actually make a bet with him.

"If I win, I want this villa." An Yinan pointed to the property deed from earlier.

She had taken a liking to this location.

But the way she obtained it would be different; it wouldn't be a gift from the Li Family, but gambling stakes.

If the Li Family gave it, it would be against the rules for her to accept it, and it would be mixed with personal favors, but as gambling stakes...

Then she could accept it with a clear conscience.

"If I win, you work for me for a year—just one year—to help me watch the stock market." Li Kun did not ask for the moon.

"And, after a year, this villa will also be yours."

What he valued was influence—the influence to seize power in the Li Family; as for how much money he earned, the Li Family already had enough money, and any more would just be icing on the cake.

One year was enough for him to expand his influence and make his grandfather voluntarily relinquish power.

It looks like power is being relinquished now, but in his grandfather's heart, he still feels sorry for the eldest uncle; the old man needs a reason to give up, and since the old man cannot make this decision, he will help his grandfather make it.

"A gentleman's word." An Yinan extended her slender hand, her fair, delicate palm reaching out.

Li Kun discovered that this lady was constantly giving him surprises.

He reached out his hand and slapped it against hers without any hesitation, "A promise is a promise."

Just as the two of them had not yet had time to pull their hands away, the door was pushed open with a crash.

"The Young Master is inside discussing matters, Miss Huang, you cannot go in." An Yinan's people merely stood guard indifferently; having determined that these people posed no threat to Comrade An, they did not take action.

Yet the ones blocking the person were Li Kun's people.

"I am going in today; I would like to see what kind of delicate creature dares to snatch my man."

It could only be said that the soundproofing was too good; it was not until Miss Huang kicked the door open that she saw Li Kun and An Yinan slapping hands.

An Yinan was somewhat surprised; wasn't this Young Master Li's establishment?

To think that someone would actually come to crash the place today?

Li Kun's expression darkened as he looked toward the doorway, "Huang Ying, what are you doing?"

Huang Ying looked at the situation in the room, her entire heart trembling; she had liked Li Kun since she was small, their two families had dealings, and her father and Li Kun's father were friends.

She had been bitterly chasing after him for twenty years, but what was she seeing now?

He was actually holding hands with another woman!
