Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me - Chapter 509
Chapter 509: Acquaintances
The casino on the first floor was different from the elegant and quiet casino on the second floor. This place was more realistic and more civilian-like.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this noisy scene. No matter how many times she looked at it, she would have a different feeling. This place only reflected the tip of Yan Kuan’s iceberg. There were more things… even if Shen Xiaoxiao had prepared herself mentally, she would still be shocked.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Yan Kuan was naturally surprised that Shen Xiaoxiao wasn’t saying anything. However, he seemed to have guessed something when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes. He smiled and said to Shen Xiaoxiao:
“Don’t be surprised. These are all yours. I’ve said it before. My things are all yours.”
This was probably what women liked to hear the most. Shen Xiaoxiao admitted that she was a little moved, but underneath that was a hint of fear and sadness.
Perhaps she had overestimated herself. No matter how strong and powerful she was, she probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to him in this lifetime.
“I’ll earn what I want. I don’t need you.”
Yan Kuan wouldn’t argue with Shen Xiaoxiao on this topic. This girl was sometimes extremely stubborn. She couldn’t be persuaded with just a few words from him. In any case, he would definitely not be separated from her in the future. If she didn’t want to, then so be it. Anyway, what was his was hers.
“Do you want to play a few rounds?”
Changing the topic, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the scene in front of her. It was very difficult for anyone to enter this place and not want to gamble a few rounds.
“Didn’t you say that there was a competition? Is it over there?”
“Yes, it’s over there. It’s chosen one floor at a time.”
“What’s the difference between that and the one on the second floor?”
“The one on the second floor has a qualification certificate. As for the one on the first floor, it’s just a lottery and prize money, one for the name and one for the profit.”
“Oh? You can do that?”
“Of course. Let’s go play poker. I remember you like to play that.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not refuse and allowed Yan Kuan to pull her. However, the people on the first floor were a mix of all kinds of people. Fortunately, they were wearing ordinary clothes and could not wear ordinary home clothes, so they would not appear out of place on the first floor.
The ground floor was extremely large, and there were all kinds of people. Shen Xiaoxiao looked around and when she was about to sit down to start a bet, her eyes stopped on a person. Why was he here?
“What’s wrong?”
“I saw an acquaintance.”
“Acquaintance?”
Yan Kuan followed Shen Xiaoxiao’s gaze and looked over. He was a little puzzled. This was an acquaintance? An old man in his fifties who was almost sixty? How did Xiaoxiao know this person?
Chen Aiguo, an American overseas Chinese, the boss of the world’s largest supermarket chain.
Why was he here?
“You know Chen Aiguo?”
“You know him too? Yeah, his supermarket has been opened all over the world.”
Yan Kuan frowned. This Chen Aiguo actually appeared here. This was the first floor, not the second floor. His identity should be going to the second floor.
And how did Xiaoxiao know him?
How did Shen Xiaoxiao know Chen Aiguo? Do you still remember the kidnapping case in China three years ago? In the base, Xiaoxiao saved a kidnapped an overseas Chinese. That person was Chen Aiguo. In order to save him, Shen Xiaoxiao got his promise.
“The overseas Chinese you saved in the base three years ago was him?”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that nothing could be hidden from Yan Kuan. However, this guy’s memory was really good. At that time, she had done so discreetly, but he actually knew about it.
“Yes, it was him. But I didn’t expect his hobby to be so special. He looks too ordinary like this. Can you see that he looks like a boss? He is no different from an ordinary gambler.”
“Yes, but this President Chen has never been out on the streets, especially after the scandal that was exposed by his family. Now, his eldest son is basically in charge of the company’s affairs. He can be considered to have retired. It makes sense for an old man to have such a hobby.”
“Are you saying that his youngest son and youngest daughter are not his biological children?”
“You know about that too? It was that incident. So after that incident, he was disheartened and gave all his assets to his eldest son.”
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally knew about this incident. Back then, it was because she had said something that allowed Chen Aiguo to investigate this matter.
“Xiaoxiao, there’s something that I think you must know in advance. Chen Aiguo has another name.”
“What do you mean?” Shen Xiaoxiao was puzzled. What did Yan Kuan mean by this?
“His other name is not Chen Aiguo, but Lin Aiguo. He was adopted in China when he was young.”
“Lin? So what if his surname is Lin?”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao. Why did this girl suddenly become stupid again?
“Grandma Lin has a foreign relative.”
“Ah? Are you saying that Chen Aiguo is a relative of Grandma Lin? Is that so?”
Yan Kuan nodded. Fortunately, she was not too stupid.
Shen Xiaoxiao was completely shocked by this news. Grandma Lin had always lived with her foreign relative. She would not be so assured if she was not soft-hearted. But now, she actually told her that the so-called relative of Grandma Lin was Chen Aiguo… The boss of the supermarket, Chen Aiguo… What kind of joke was this?
“In that era, many people were smuggled overseas or to Taiwan, so it was very common for the two siblings to separate.”
“Is the news true?”
“Of course. I have been paying attention to it for the past three years. I have been paying attention to everything that has to do with you.”
Yan Kuan, who did not forget to make his presence known at any time and place, made Shen Xiaoxiao speechless. However, fate was too ingenious, always making people speechless. Shen Xiaoxiao did not know what to say for a long time.
Previously, she had been delayed in various matters. Moreover, when 19 reported to her, she only said that she had investigated the other party’s background and that he was someone worth entrusting to. Hence, she did not worry too much and did not ask about the other party’s identity. Now that she thought about it, she really cared too little. She had taken over the other party’s identity, but she did not do what she wanted to do.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt a little sorry for Grandma Lin.
“In the end, I was the one who took over her identity for so long and did not care about Grandma Lin at all.”
“You don’t have to blame yourself. Grandma Lin is doing very well now. Not only that, even Lin…”
“Master, it’s here.”
Yan Kuan was about to say something when Dark 2 walked over to report to Yan Kuan. When Yan Kuan heard Dark 2’s words, he immediately stopped talking and said to Shen Xiaoxiao:
“Didn’t you want to know what the prize is? It’s already here. Do you want to go with me to take a look?”
“Only now?” Shen Xiaoxiao was a little confused. What was it that had just been delivered?
“You’ll know when you see it. This thing isn’t easy to find. I also spent a lot of money to buy it from a senior collector. Maybe you’re interested too.”
The more Yan Kuan talked, the more mysterious he became. Naturally, Shen Xiaoxiao was also more and more surprised. The two of them held hands and walked through the crowd to the safe area at the back of the second floor…
