"Miss Wang, the money has been transferred to your bank card account. Please check."
While everyone still found it hard to believe that Shen Lang would be so generous as to give away the thirty billion he had won, A Xiu walked over and said to Wang Yuyan.
Upon hearing A Xiu's words, Wang Yuyan took out her phone, opened her mobile banking account, and found that thirty billion had indeed been added to her account.
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang, her feelings complex, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Wang Yuyan had never been so touched. It wasn't because of the money, but because, apart from her grandfather, there was someone in this world who truly cared about her.
"Thank you—"
After a long pause, Wang Yuyan said gently to Shen Lang.
However, while Wang Yuyan's mood improved, Yu Linling's mood couldn't have been worse.
At this moment, Yu Linling's mood was as grim as her expression, like a dark cloud, menacing and terrifying.
Yu Linling couldn't believe that Wanwan would lose to Shen Lang, and lose so miserably.
What made Yu Linling even more incredulous was that Shen Lang had won ninety billion, returned sixty billion to Yang Ce, and then casually gifted his thirty billion to Wang Yuyan.
It had to be said, Wang Yuyan was indeed the most beautiful girl in the world. Yu Linling had seen many beautiful girls, but never one so stunning.
Her skin seemed to have been soaked in fresh milk, smooth and delicate, so fair it was translucent.
Her every glance and smile was otherworldly, like a bright spring breeze, warm and comforting.
If Yu Linling were a man, she believed she would also fall in love with a woman like Wang Yuyan.
However, even if Yu Linling were a man, she wouldn't have given thirty billion to her.
After all, that was a whole thirty billion.
Yu Linling felt such heartache for the thirty billion because, according to her agreement with Wanwan, Wanwan was there to help. If they won money, Wanwan would get a three-seven split, but if they lost, Yu Linling would bear all the losses, no matter how much it was.
In other words, Yu Linling had lost ninety billion, and thirty billion of that had been casually given away by Shen Lang to Wang Yuyan to win her favor.
This scoundrel was being generous with other people's money to chase a girl!
Her heart ached, Yu Linling's heart was bleeding.
Although the Kong family was wealthy, it was still the Kong family's money. Losing ninety billion was a heavy blow to Yu Linling, and she felt she had let down Young Master Kong.
Even though Yu Linling knew that Young Master Kong wouldn't blame her for this ninety billion, she still felt very distressed.
"Miss Yu Linling, what are you thinking about?"
As Yu Linling was lost in thought, a voice interrupted her.
Shen Lang slowly walked towards Yu Linling, a playful smirk on his face, and said, "Now, can we fulfill our bet?"
"Our bet?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Linling frowned. She then remembered the bet she had made with Shen Lang before the gambling match began.
"Yes. Our bet."
Shen Lang chuckled, "If I lose, I'll crawl under your legs. But if I win, you have to kiss me. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"Of course, I, Shen Lang, am not someone who enjoys being kissed. If you don't want to do it, that's fine too. I won't force you."
As Yu Linling's brow furrowed, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Forcing someone is not good, very not good. Miss Yu Linling, don't you think so?"
What?
Yu Linling was surprised that Shen Lang would say such a thing. While her expression was one of shock, her tightly furrowed brow relaxed.
Yu Linling was a person who never liked to be controlled or threatened. Seeing that Shen Lang had such awareness, although her gaze towards him was still filled with hostility, it was no longer as hateful.
This scoundrel, though not as distinguished as Young Master Kong, at least possessed some decorum.
With this thought, Yu Linling snorted and was about to leave. But as soon as she moved, Shen Lang blocked her path.
"Miss Yu Linling, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Looking at Yu Linling, Shen Lang's smile was playful, and he said, "Although I don't want to force anyone, if someone insists on their own way, then I can't do anything about it, right?"
"Shen Lang, what do you mean?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Linling's brow furrowed again. She said, "Just say what you want to say. I don't want to waste my time with you."
Having lost ninety billion, Yu Linling was in a terrible mood.
She couldn't understand why she, who had always had smooth sailing, would repeatedly lose to Shen Lang on this trip to Nanling, and each time worse than the last.
Was this scoundrel her jinx?
"My meaning is very simple. You can leave and refuse to fulfill the bet, and I won't stop you."
Shen Lang smiled, "I just said, forcing someone is very not good."
"However..."
Shen Lang paused for a moment, then his smile turned sinister as he continued, "If you refuse to fulfill the bet, with dozens of reporters watching, it will likely affect not only your personal reputation but also Young Master Kong's reputation."
"Imagine, in front of everyone, under the filming and broadcasting of dozens of cameras, Young Master Kong's strategist breaks her promise and refuses to fulfill the bet. If this gets out, it's a small matter how outsiders will view you, but how will they view Young Master Kong?"
"They will think, if Young Master Kong's strategist is so untrustworthy and goes back on her word, then he himself is likely even more so. Perhaps no one will dare to be friends with Young Master Kong in the future."
"Alas, thinking about it, even I can't help but worry for Young Master Kong."
Upon hearing this, Yu Linling's expression changed drastically.
Yu Linling had thought Shen Lang was being decent and had forgotten about the bet. She never expected this scoundrel to be so insidious, digging a trap for her here.
However, Yu Linling knew that Shen Lang wasn't exaggerating or being alarmist at this moment.
If Yu Linling refused to fulfill the bet, then the repercussions would extend beyond just her reputation; it would also affect Young Master Kong's reputation, and even the reputation of the Kong family in Longdu.
In this era, one could lose mountains of gold and silver, but not one's reputation. Losing one's reputation was equivalent to losing current friends and even future friends. This loss was immeasurable by money.
Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan were shocked by Shen Lang's words. They hadn't expected Shen Lang to use reputation to corner Yu Linling.
This wasn't a conspiracy, but an open strategy. Regardless of whether Yu Linling was willing or not, she would ultimately have to do as Shen Lang said.
"Husband... is getting worse and worse... but... the more he's like this, the more I seem to like him... What should I do?"
Looking at Yu Linling's distressed expression, Wang Yuyan's lips curled into a happy smile.
The way Wang Yuyan disliked Shen Lang when they first met was now overshadowed by her love for him.
With this thought, Wang Yuyan secretly glanced at Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan, inwardly sneering, "Two little bitches, trying to snatch my husband, just wait. I'll deal with you soon."
