Hua Zhi was lost in thought without saying anything. Yu Weiwei was very tactful and drank her tea without disturbing her.
After a moment, Hua Zhi looked up and asked, "Is your mother unaware of this?"
"My father sent me this deed?" Yu Weiwei nodded. "She doesn't know. Not only this, but she doesn't know anything else. My father and I kept it from her. She trusts her family too much, especially Zeng Xianglin."
Hua Zhi was not surprised, "Find a chance to ask your father Zeng Xianglin about anything he finds unusual."
Yu Weiwei agreed, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Hua Ling, do you and my eldest cousin have a grudge?"
"Some things are hard to tell you right now. You'll know what's going on when things are resolved. Don't worry, it's not for personal reasons. He and I don't know each other and we have no grudges against each other."
"That's good, he is not a good guy. I was worried that he would bully you!" Yu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. She could see that Hua Ling was targeting Zeng Xianglin. Apart from personal feelings, she really couldn't think of anything else for it.
"Your husband..."
"Qi Qiu, you can just call him Qi Qiu. I feel uncomfortable when I think of him as my husband."
Hua Zhi laughed, "Okay, Qi Qiu, you still have to suppress him and be on guard against him. Don't give him a chance to attack you."
"I know. When he returns this time, I will lock him up again and not let anyone contact him." Yu Weiwei raised her chin slightly. "Isn't it just a bad reputation? I will bear it. What's the big deal? I want to see if Zeng Xianglin will shamelessly come to his house for him again."
Although she still looked sick, the vitality that Yu Weiwei exuded at this moment made her look very lively. The fearlessness in her eyes reminded Hua Zhi of herself. Their weaknesses were their relatives, and they were both willing to risk their lives for their relatives, so she felt a little different about this girl at that time.
After sending the person out of the house, Hua Zhi leaned to the side, and Gu Yanxi let her lean on him steadily.
"Do you think she looks familiar?"
Gu Yanxi held her in his arms and walked back, "Not even close. You built up the Hua family step by step. If she hadn't met you, she would have had to endure humiliation and live in hiding. She didn't know when she would have the chance to turn things around, or maybe she would never have one in her lifetime."
There was a certain sweetness in these words coming from the mouth of a lover. Hua Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at him, without arguing with him.
"We already have the deed to the silver mine. What are you going to do?"
"Wait, don't alarm Zeng Xianglin before he bites the hook."
Hua Zhi thought about it and understood that moving the silver mine was the last few steps. Before that, Zeng Xianglin had to offer some benefits to win over Peng Fangming.
"What do you think Qi Qiu's identity is?" Hua Zhi sat by the stove holding the hot water bottle and continued to play Sherlock Holmes. "Now, when I see anyone suspicious, I think they are from the Chaoli tribe."
Gu Yanxi took the tea handed over by Bao Xia and put it next to Ah Zhi, "Even if he is not related, he cannot be separated from him. Zeng Xianglin trusts him very much, otherwise he would not have sent him to the Yu family."
"Is it possible that he is from Zeng Xianglin's clan, rather than the Chaoli clan?"
"It's possible. There's nothing wrong with their identities. We can only wait for them to reveal their flaws." Gu Yanxi narrowed his eyes slightly, "It'll be soon."
"Master." Wang Hai lifted the curtain and stood up. "The contract has been signed over there. It is indeed Zeng Xianglin who went there. He brought two people with him. One is Zhu Ling's confidant, and the other is Qi Qiu."
"Zhu Ling's story is really everywhere." Gu Yanxi's disgust was evident in her words, and she didn't even bother to hide it.
Hua Zhi looked at Wang Hai, "How did they sign it?"
"When the two casinos merge, Zeng Xianglin will add playing cards and mahjong to his casino. The Peng family will get 30% of the net profit of all casinos, Zhu Ling will get 20%, Zeng Xianglin will get 30%, and the remaining 20% will be divided among the other families."
Hua Zhi quickly calculated in her mind, "Peng Fangming made money. Although he provided the new gameplay, the total number of his casinos is not as large as Zeng Xianglin's. Moreover, Zeng Xianglin's casinos are not completely out of business. Once the novelty of playing cards and mahjong wears off, the business there will surely pick up. Now it is equivalent to that several families have seized the entire Jinyang City casino in their hands. Do you know how Zeng Xianglin and his group divided the profits before?"
Wang Hai had checked it out, and quickly replied, "Zhu Ling 20%, Zeng Xianglin 30%, and the other families will share 50%."
"With the current scale of the casino, 30% of the profit is huge." Thinking of the family's methods, Hua Zhi frowned, "Zeng Xianglin used the most troublesome method. If he joins forces with others to drive the Peng family out of Jinyang and take over their casino, the Peng family will have no way to stop it."
"So he still has some agenda, and it's not small." Gu Yanxi looked up and ordered, "Tell Peng Fangming to find a way to force Zeng Xianglin to take action as soon as possible."
"yes."
Hua Zhi was idle at home for only one day, and from the next day onwards she spent more than half of her time in the house over there. The more she played, the less she lost. However, everyone still liked dealing with her. People's relationships do not necessarily need to be supported by money, and sometimes they also rely on feelings. Now they just feel good about Hua Zhi. She doesn't act like a demon, doesn't talk much, and doesn't gossip about other people. It is really hard to dislike such a person.
"Miss Hua is here to have some fun today. By the way, Weiwei is here."
Hua Zhi just got off the carriage when she saw Madam Lu coming out of the house. She smiled and said, "You went to the farm, why are you leaving now? It's still early."
"My family came to tell me that someone from my mother's family is coming, so I have to go back now." Madam Lu got on her carriage and waved her handkerchief at her. "It's fun."
"Slow down."
The room was very bustling. Hua Zhi looked around and saw many familiar faces.
"A Ling, you're here." Yu Weiwei said loudly, "Come here and grab a card for me."
Hua Zhi walked over and took a look, and there was indeed only one card left. She first glanced at Yu Weiwei's card. She grabbed it and covered it with her hand to show her, then smiled and put the card at the very edge of a row of cards.
Yu Weiwei slammed the table and laughed, pushing the cards down, "A Ling, you have a really good hand. You won back all the money I lost with this one hand, and even some left."
Wang Yu took a look and sighed, "You only had this one card left and you caught it. What a shit luck."
"No more nonsense with you, give me money!"
After receiving the money, Yu Weiwei counted the chips like a money-grubber. Great, she won. She stood up and pulled Shaoyao to sit down, "I'm going to talk to A-Ling. Ling Niang, you play a few hands for me first."
Shaoyao felt bitter, but she had to put on a shy smile and pretend to be positive as she pushed the cards.
It was just right to whisper in the bustling house, so the two went to a resting place nearby and started whispering to each other like two good sisters.
