Lu Huai and Feng Mou narrowed their eyes slightly.
This is... repaying the money in advance
"Because Gambler's repayment is ahead of schedule this time, the system is slightly delayed, please forgive me."
Lu Huaiyu didn't speak.
"So far, all debts owed by Gambler have been paid off, and your debt relationship with Gambler will be terminated immediately."
Shen Li seemed to be aware of it, turned around and looked over, and saw Lu Huaiyu holding a phone call.
Hearing the second sentence, Lu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then, like the previous two times, he pressed the asterisk to express his understanding, and hung up neatly.
As soon as she turned her head, she met Shen Li's gaze.
Shen Li looked at his expression, but this man was as calm and calm as ever, noble and lazy, he couldn't see anything.
Afterwards, her eyes stayed on his mobile phone for a moment, her lips moved slightly, and just about to speak, Madam Gu's kind voice came from behind:
"Ali."
Shen Li paused, turned around, and saw Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu and others had also arrived.
She thought for a moment, then temporarily suppressed her thoughts and walked over:
"Grandpa, grandma."
Mrs. Gu held her hand, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were extremely gentle:
"Why are you standing at the door? The reception is about to start, so go in with grandma?"
Shen Li nodded meekly: "Okay."
Gu Tingfeng laughed and teased:
"A Li, according to Ting Lan, your luck in betting on horses in this horse race is unrivaled!"
The amount of money Shen Li played was not large in their opinion, but the probability of winning was very high.
Although there were a few wrong guesses in the middle, overall, the winning rate was still very astonishing.
Liang Su next to him blinked:
"Isn't it? After the horse racing meeting, many people asked me to ask me how A Li played."
At the reception tonight, Shen Li was the absolute focus.
Shen Li's heart moved slightly, and the corners of her lips curved slightly:
"I'm just lucky, and, to be honest, my second brother is much better than me."
This is also true.
The news that Lu Huai and the horse betting team had won all the matches had already been spread in private.
He also came to Hong Kong City to play before, but most of them just played casually. This time, he made several bets purely to accompany Shen Li.
It is precisely because of this that his eyesight and luck are even more astonishing.
Even Mr. Gu, who has always had a very high vision, rarely gave a "good" evaluation.
It is very rare for this word to come out of Mr. Gu's mouth.
Aside from other things, among the younger generation, Lu Huaiyu was indeed the one he admired the most.
Lu Huaiyu glanced at her, his thin lips curled slightly.
The little girl is quite easy to bribe, if you help her win some pocket money, you will know to speak well of him.
"Huai is clever, and Ali is also outstanding."
Mrs. Gu bent her eyes, led Shen Li to walk in, and waved at Lu Huaiyu again:
"Huaiyu is also coming."
Lu Huai and Long Legs stepped forward and followed.
Madam Gu smiled and said:
"You were the one who stayed with Ari last year, and it's still the same this year."
Hearing this, Mr. Gu glanced this way, as if he wanted to say something:
"Qing—"
Ah Li hasn't been with her family for long—
However, meeting Mrs. Gu's gentle gaze, the rest of Mr. Gu's words stuck in his throat.
In the end, he had no choice but to tell Lu Huai:
"Take a good look at Gu Ali."
Lu Huai and naturally responded with a smile.
…
In the banquet hall, the huge luxurious crystal chandelier is extremely bright, and the cups and cups are intertwined, and the clothes are fragrant and the shadows are on the temples.
After dealing with a few people who came to say hello, Shen Li turned around and took a glass of orange juice from the waiter's tray, and looked at the man standing beside her.
"Second brother, grandma seems to like you very much."
Actually, not as if.
Mrs. Gu's favoritism towards Lu Huaiyu tonight can be seen by everyone.
Otherwise, Shen Li is definitely following Mr. Gu or Shen Zhijin at this moment, not Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huaihe turned his head to look at her:
"That's not what you want to say, is it?"
Shen Li paused, and nodded honestly:
"I just want to say... the second brother is really smart.
For the entire Gu family, as long as he takes down Mrs. Gu, he will basically win for sure.
In the eyes of outsiders, the person in charge of the Gu family is Mr. Gu.
But in fact, it is Mrs. Gu who really has the final say.
Mr. Gu always listened to what she thought and said.
Just like tonight, when Mrs. Gu asked him to accompany her, didn't Mr. Gu just nod
Shen Li didn't say these words clearly, but her eyes and expressions had clearly expressed them.
Lu Huaiyu couldn't help laughing, bowed his head slightly and approached, and said in a low voice:
"Actually, in the final analysis, it's you who hurt Mrs. Gu."
Shen Li's heart seemed to be hit softly by something.
Of course she understood what Lu Huaiyu meant.
She raised her eyelashes slightly and looked into his eyes.
In the depths of those deep pupils, two small shadows of her were reflected.
This kind of Lu Huai and Yu, after all...
She wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start.
And there are so many people around—
"Ali."
Liang Su came over with a smile,
"Madam Yin and the others are here too, do you want to go over and say hello?"
Many celebrities from all walks of life came tonight, which is an excellent opportunity to develop contacts and relationships.
The identities that Liang Su is willing to introduce are not simple.
Shen Li nodded: "OK."
She and Lu Huaiyu looked at each other, then followed Liang Su to the other corner of the banquet hall,
Lu Huaihe watched her leave, remembered the phone call just now, put down the wine glass, and walked towards the terrace.
…
There was no one else on the terrace, and compared with the bright and lively banquet hall behind it, it seemed a bit quiet.
Still carrying a trace of scorching evening wind, Lu Huaihe raised his hand and loosened his tie.
Afterwards, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Xiyue.
Half a minute after it was sent, Cheng Xiyue quickly dialed back a call.
After thinking about it, he still connected.
Before he could speak, Cheng Xiyue's shocked voice came from the receiver:
"You said Gambler paid back the money early? Really?"
Lu Huaiyu put one hand in his pocket and held his mobile phone in the other, with a lazy posture.
In front is the hotel's garden fountain, which is shining brilliantly in the dark night, reflecting the radiance of the water.
He said "hmm" lightly.
Cheng Xiyue was puzzled:
"Then why did he do this? Because he won money from betting on horses? It's not right, he also won last year, didn't he still pay it back on time?"
Lu Huaihe seemed to laugh:
"Probably because of—losing."
Cheng Xiyue: "..."
I almost forgot about this... This time Gambler took the initiative to provoke, but in the end it was still suppressed by Lu Huai and Jian.
Who is not angry about this matter
"Then this person is quite interesting." Cheng Xiyue clicked his tongue, "To be honest, I really want to see who this person is. Hey, don't you think so? Anyway, you are the creditor—"
"Not anymore."
Lu Huaiyu interrupted him,
"With this sum in the account, all his debts will be paid off."
Cheng Xiyue said "ah", a little surprised:
"Pay it off? Then... that's pretty good, you don't have to think about it anymore, do you?"
After Shen Li said hello, she returned to the previous place, but did not see Lu Huai and her.
I looked around, looked around, and finally saw his figure on the terrace.
She walked over.
With his back to her, he was on the phone.
Even if it's just a back view, it doesn't hide the arrogance and dignity in his bones.
Just when she was hesitating whether to leave first, she heard his low voice with a smile:
"Feel?"
"Three years is quite a long time. Pay off this last sum, and there will be no debts to urge in the future. I feel—"
"It's a pity."
