After all, he has plenty of money. Apart from worrying about how to spend it, he really doesn't know what to do with it.
He nodded to his subordinates, who understood and took out a stack of banknotes to let the winning young men divide the money. Whenever this time came, the outside was the most lively.
Several girls around Cheng Dingan also came up and laughed and said, "Master Cheng has finally met a tough guy this time. What kind of weather is it now? If you stay outside the door for a few hours in the middle of the night, you will die. But this little boy actually held on for six hours! He didn't move for six hours, but he still survived."
The big round well was already covered with a thin layer of ice. The young man was lowered into the well with a bucket of water. He had been there since last night. Now it seemed that he only had one breath left, and he curled up on the ground, steam still coming out of his mouth.
But it can be seen that the air coming in is less and the air going out is more.
He was frozen so badly that even if he didn't die now, it would be difficult for him to continue living later. In other words, he would probably become a useless person for the rest of his life.
Cheng Ding'an didn't care at all. He had seen such things many times. After all, it was just Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, so no one could say anything to him.
He waved his hand, not even glancing at the child struggling to survive on the ground, and said casually, "Since he survived, give it to him, one thousand taels of silver."
Someone immediately responded.
The ladies all laughed: "Mr. Cheng is so generous, one thousand taels! This child's life is not that precious."
This was a bit harsh to hear, but everyone present knew it was the truth.
After all, in this day and age, there are quite a few people who make money by gambling their lives in order to bury their fathers. There are always people who take unconventional approaches. One thousand taels of silver, Cheng Dingan was generous.
Cheng Dingan sneered.
One thousand and two taels of silver to watch such a wonderful show, in his opinion, is much more interesting than going to cockfighting and dog racing.
He snorted with boredom, and immediately someone came forward and dragged the child who had received the silver away without stopping for a moment. Cheng Dingan happened to see the girls standing in the corridor opposite and looking at him intently. He frowned suspiciously, turned around and threw a few gold bars to the playboys, and without bothering to care about them anymore, he walked towards Su Xingxuan.
An Ying was very frightened. The child looked to be no more than eight or nine years old. When he was pulled up, his face was blue and purple, and he looked almost pale.
None of these young masters and prostitutes thought anything was wrong, and no one even stood up to say anything. They just watched him being dragged out like a dead dog.
These people are taking it too far!
She pulled Su Xingxuan's sleeve, extremely scared: "Girl, let's go..."
How could they afford to offend such a person
Su Xingxuan remained motionless until Cheng Dingan came up to her, then she nodded at him, "Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Dingan stood outside the corridor and looked at her for a moment, then nodded expressionlessly and asked her, "What's your background? I heard you have something important to tell me."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Su Xingxuan: "You'd better say something useful. After all, my patience is not that good. If what you say is not to my liking, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this door."
Although Su Xingxuan's clothes were obviously expensive, the fact that a woman would bring her maid out in public was already telling.
Or she might be a concubine's daughter who wants to marry into a rich family.
Or there is an ulterior motive.
Cheng Dingan actually thinks both possibilities are worth listening to.
An Ying was so scared that she took a step back with a pale face.
Only Su Xingxuan was as usual. Based on her experience in the dream, she was not afraid of the seemingly unbridled wild horse in front of her. Instead, she raised her chin arrogantly and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if the incident in the paddock many years ago that caused the Yongding Marquis's Mansion to be stripped of its title is worth it for Master Cheng to lower himself to listen to it?"
The half-smile on Cheng Dingan's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a flash of coldness and ruthlessness.
He took a step forward, suddenly grabbed Su Xingxuan's neck, and pulled her up without hesitation, as if he could break her arms at any time.
An Ying and Yong Ge screamed.
Su Xingxuan sneered with difficulty: "What? Master Cheng has something to hide and doesn't dare to listen? But that shouldn't be the case. If he was really that scared, why would he use the same method on someone else's son again? It's just a pity that Su Rong still escaped unscathed this time, don't you think?"
Cheng Dingan looked at her uncertainly. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly loosened his hand, letting Su Xingxuan fall to the ground with a thud. He then moved his wrist coldly and asked her sinisterly, "Who are you?"
He has already made up his mind to kill.
Su Xingxuan knew it in her heart, and also knew that she couldn't provoke the man in front of her, so she snorted coldly, patted her skirt, stood up, and explained her identity.
Someone from the Su family
Cheng Dingan looked at her for a while, then suddenly laughed: "You still have something to say, right? There are many girls in the Su family, but recently, the girls in the Su family have become somewhat famous in the capital. The lost twins are back. Are you the lost one, or the one who is kept at home?"
Su Xingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew Cheng Dingan was interested, and after a pause she said, "Mr. Cheng probably knows more about the Su family's affairs than I do. Do you need to ask me about these things? Their biological daughter is back, so a fake like me is of course the one that is hated. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here, right?"
Cheng Dingan touched his chin, clicked his tongue and said, "So it was you who led Su Rong down the mountain."
Su Xingxuan’s eyes suddenly widened. She didn’t expect that Cheng Dingan even knew this.
"What? You think that because you have a stupid brother, all other men in the world are like him and don't use their brains when they go out, right?" Cheng Ding'an raised his eyebrows and sneered, mercilessly mocking him: "You are really evil. Tell me, you come to me, what cards do you have to show me? You are already a lost dog, so don't raise your status anymore, otherwise, do you see those people over there? Now that you don't have the protection of the Su family, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Su Xingxuan suddenly turned her head to look at the gorgeously dressed girls beside her.
