"He is a man full of legends, his charm can conquer women all over the world, he is a perfect man," Jiang Xianghan said, squinting her eyes with an intoxicated expression.
Seeing Jiang Xianghan's expression, Han Yuanchan found it amusing and teased her, "You! I think you've been drinking Xuan's potion."
"If he gave you the potion, you would drink it too," Jiang Xianghan replied.
Chen Yina, although not yet Chen Haoxuan's wife, was already regarded as such by the people of Chen Family Village and Lin Hao. When Jiang Xianghan and a strange girl arrived, the security guard on duty went to inform Chen Yina that they were in the living room on the second floor.
With Chen Haoxuan not at home, it was her duty as his future wife to take care of the guests. Chen Yina asked her mother to prepare a couple more dishes for lunch before returning to Chen Haoxuan's house.
Before they even arrived, she called out, "Sister Han, you're here!"
Hearing Chen Yina's voice, Jiang Xianghan quietly said to Han Yuanchan, "That's Xuan's girlfriend, Chen Yina."
Chen Yina walked into the living room on the second floor. Jiang Xianghan smiled at her and said, "Nana, it's been a while since we last met; I didn't expect you to have become so much prettier."
"Not really; I've become much uglier," Chen Yina humbly replied as she sat next to Jiang Xianghan.
"If you're ugly, then I have no face to show anyone! What you said makes me feel so embarrassed!" Jiang Xianghan joked.
"Sister Han, could you introduce me to this beautiful lady and this lovely baby?" Chen Yina smiled at Jiang Xianghan.
"This is my good friend Han Yuanchan, and this is her son Han Fenghua. We came to see how Xuan and Matsunoki Ichirō's competition preparations are going," Jiang Xianghan said with concern.
"Sister Han, don't worry. Don't you know Brother Xuan's abilities? If he wasn't confident, would he be foolish enough to agree to Matsunoki Ichirō? Once you see how they train later, you won't be worried anymore. Let me tell you a secret! Brother Xuan's subordinates are all incredibly skilled fighters; each one can take on dozens of ordinary people. If they use cold weapons or firearms, they would definitely be a group of killing gods," Chen Yina said mysteriously.
"I've seen his subordinates! They can't be as powerful as you say," Jiang Xianghan said curiously.
"You have seen them, but you have not witnessed their true abilities. Not to mention you, even I have not seen their real strength; only Brother Xuan knows their capabilities," Chen Yina explained.
"When is Xuan coming back?" Jiang Xianghan asked.
Chen Yina shook her head and said lightly, "I don't know. He often doesn't come back for lunch these days. I've heard that when they don't return, they go hunting in the deep mountains."
"Hunting and training in the deep mountains? It seems they are indeed extraordinary. The more extraordinary, the better. I've decided that when I go back tonight, I will place a bet of one million Renminbi on Xuan. If Xuan wins, I will get two million Renminbi back, making a pure profit of one million Renminbi. This business is really too profitable," Jiang Xianghan said excitedly.
"What bet? Didn't you say it's just Brother Xuan against Matsunoki Ichirou? Why are you betting too? Who are you betting with?" Chen Yina asked curiously.
"Nana, you should check the news online when you have nothing to do. Many wealthy people are acting as bookmakers now, letting citizens bet on whether Chen Haoxuan or Matsunoki Ichirou will win. More people are betting on Matsunoki Ichirou, so his odds are 1 to 0.5, while fewer people are betting on Xuan, so his odds are 1 to 1. I know a wealthy person who is running the book; he seems to be working with others and only accepts bets over ten thousand. If you want to place a bet, I can take you to him," Jiang Xianghan explained.
"Of course I want to bet! Sister Han, help me place the bet. I'll write you a check for ten million Renminbi right now. I want to make those bookmakers regret underestimating my Brother Xuan," Chen Yina said angrily.
Seeing that Chen Yina was really getting up to get her checkbook, Jiang Xianghan quickly grabbed her and said, "Nana, if you bet that much money, the bookmaker might just take your money and run."
"But didn't you say he is your friend?" Chen Yina asked curiously.
"He is my friend, but not a particularly close one. Think about it! He is taking advantage of your Brother Xuan's match against Matsunoki Ichirou to open a gambling house. People who run gambling houses are very greedy; do you think he is reliable? If your bet is small, they won't care, but if you bet ten million Renminbi, they could easily take your money and flee abroad. So if you want to place a bet, limit it to one million at most; anything more than that is too risky," Jiang Xianghan explained.
"Then I'll bet one million! Sister Han, wait for me; I'll be right back," Chen Yina said as she stood up.
After Chen Yina left, Han Yuanchan said to Jiang Xianghan, "No wonder you can be Xuan's girlfriend; she is so beautiful."
"Diao Chan, you don't know. She used to be quite ugly, but later she must have used some kind of medication because all the scars on her face disappeared. Her skin became so good that it makes people jealous, and then she became the most beautiful girl at New City University, rivaling Xuan," Jiang Xianghan replied.
"Do you mean she had plastic surgery?" Han Yuanchan asked gossipingly.
"No, her features are the same as before, with no changes at all. It's just that her skin has improved, which makes her beauty stand out. Besides, Chen Yina grew up with Xuan, they have a deep bond," Jiang Xianghan explained.
"I'm really envious of her. She was destined to be with the person she loves from birth. How lucky!" Han Yuanchan said enviously.
Next to Jiang Xianghan, Han Fenghua, who was eating a banana, sweetly said to her mother, "Mommy, Xiaohua has been with Mommy since birth. Xiaohua is so happy!"
"Yes, yes, Mommy feels very happy too. So come here and let Mommy give you a kiss," Han Yuanchan laughed at her son and stretched out her arms as if inviting him over.
"Mommy, kiss!" Han Fenghua said flirtatiously to her mother. It seems this child will grow up to be just like Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Yina quickly brought over a check written for one million Renminbi and handed it to Jiang Xianghan, asking her to help buy Chen Haoxuan's win.
At 11:30 AM, Chen Haoxuan returned with Lin Hao and the others. When they came back, they were all sweating profusely, exuding a strong masculine scent.
Chen Haoxuan heard from the security guard on duty that Jiang Xianghan had come with a strange girl and a child, and he immediately thought of who it could be.
