My Ares Son-in-Law

What made Jin Lanlan even more upset was that many people around came to watch the fun, talking about it, their eyes full of curiosity, snickers and expectations. She knew very well that if she was outshined by Xiao Chen today, it would be too embarrassing. She would not be able to hold her head up high in the Amei Group in the future. Her colleagues would point fingers at her and she would become a long-lasting laughing stock.

"Okay, if you want to bet so much, then I will bet with you to the end!" Jin Lanlan suppressed the humiliation and anger in her heart, her voice trembling slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and said. Her eyes flashed with unwillingness and stubbornness, like a trapped beast, ready to make a final struggle.

She didn't believe that Xiao Chen, a seemingly ordinary guy, would win. After all, Xiao Chen was a layman when it came to fishing. How could he compare to Jiao Yulang, a well-known tycoon in the fishing world.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, as if everything was within his expectations. He said slowly, "Okay, since you are so determined, let's continue. But... what about the spirit stones? If you don't have so many spirit stones as a bet, wouldn't it be a waste for me to play with you?"

There was a hint of teasing and mocking in Xiao Chen's words, but his eyes were gleaming with a cunning light, which made Jin Lanlan even more angry and embarrassed.

Jin Lanlan glared at him, her voice trembling but firm: "I am from the Jin family of Black Hawk Company. How could I be short of your 100,000 low-grade spirit stones? Besides, the game is not over yet, and it is still uncertain who will win or lose!"

There was a bit of pride and confidence in her words, trying to save some face. However, Xiao Chen's indifferent smile and the determination in his eyes seemed to have foreshadowed her fate.

Xiao Chen did not give Jin Lanlan any face, and his tone was a little cold: "The Jin family of Black Hawk Company is naturally not short of these spiritual stones, but those spiritual stones are the common property of the Jin family, not your private property alone. Miss Jin, may I ask, do you hold shares in Black Hawk Company, or do you own fixed luxury assets, or do you have a large amount of spiritual stone inventory hidden? If not, what right do you have to use the Jin family's spiritual stones as a bet?"

Jin Lanlan's face instantly turned red as blood. Xiao Chen's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into her body accurately, and every time she stabbed, she felt extremely humiliated and painful. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and every beat was accompanied by severe pain.

This is so humiliating! Jin Lanlan was indignant. She had never been humiliated so much before. Every word Xiao Chen said was like salt in her wounds, which made her pain even worse.

Jiao Yulang couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't help but chime in, "Mr. Xiao, you probably don't know the Jin family's position in Black Hawk Company, right? A mere 100,000 low-grade spirit stones are just a drop in the bucket for the Jin family. Aren't you being too aggressive?"

However, Xiao Chen did not give Jiao Yulang face. He sneered with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Of course I know that the Jin family is powerful and that they have a lot of spiritual stones. But so what? Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Those spiritual stones are not something that Jin Lanlan is qualified to use as a bet.

If she loses, the Jin family will abandon her for a mere 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. After all, in the eyes of the Jin family, she may just be an insignificant pawn that can be sacrificed at any time. "

Xiao Chen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Jin Lanlan's heart hard. She was trembling all over, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of fear and despair. Because she knew that Xiao Chen was telling the truth.

Her status in the Jin family was not high, and her martial arts talent was not very good, so the Jin family did not value her at all. One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones was not a small amount, so how could the Jin family bear this debt for her?

Xiao Chen glanced at Jin Lanlan calmly, with a strange smile on his lips. The smile was full of teasing and provocation, as if he was laughing at her helplessness and despair. Jin Lanlan frowned and gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind: "Well, if I lose, I will marry you, and you can do whatever you want." There was some determination and helplessness in her voice, as if she had already made the worst plan.

"Hmph, who cares about your body. What I want is the ring on your hand." Xiao Chen snorted coldly and pointed at the shining ring on Jin Lanlan's finger with a sharp gaze, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.

The ring was obviously an antique that had gone through many years. The gemstones and delicate carvings on it all showed the traces of time and its nobility.

More importantly, Xiao Chen captured a strange spatial fluctuation from the ring. This force was both subtle and powerful. Although he didn't understand what it was, he could conclude that this was definitely not an ordinary item and its value was probably far beyond imagination.

Let alone 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, even 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones would be difficult to measure its true value! Xiao Chen secretly calculated in his heart that he must get this thing.

Jin Lanlan's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but it was soon replaced by determination.

She looked down at the ring on her finger. Although she felt a little reluctant, she thought that Xiao Chen was just a rookie and it would be easy to beat him. So she said resolutely: "Okay, let's take this ring as a bet."

She had spent a lot of effort to buy this ring from a senior collector abroad. Although it cost her a lot of savings, compared with the spirit stone, that money was nothing. Therefore, in her opinion, she had undoubtedly gotten a great bargain.

Seeing Jin Lanlan agreed readily, Xiao Chen laughed, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "Okay, since you have agreed, then I will trust you this time. Come on, tell me how to bet?"

Jin Lanlan snorted coldly, her face full of confidence and disdain: "Brother Yulang and I will face you two in one round. The winner will be decided. The stakes have already been stated, so there is no need to mention it again!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded readily: "Okay."

Jiang Yixue, who was standing by, suddenly became nervous. Although she was the owner of this fishing ground and her fishing skills were pretty good, she was obviously far behind a fishing expert like Jiao Yulang. As for Xiao Chen, he had never touched a fishing rod before, so how could she not worry?
However, the spirit stone belonged to Xiao Chen, and since Xiao Chen had already agreed, it was not easy for her to object. Moreover, since Jin Lanlan dared to agree, it showed that her fishing skills were not to be underestimated, which made Jiang Yixiu even more uneasy.

She looked at Xiao Chen, then at Jin Lanlan and Jiao Yulang, and muttered to herself: "I hope Xiao Chen can perform beyond his normal level and create a miracle..."

Jiang Yixue gently stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she had touched something precious, and carefully pulled the back of Xiao Chen's clothes. (End of this chapter)
