Chapter 720: Hidden Rich Heir

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jin Long sat calmly, his gaze fixed on the two men before him. With an air of nonchalance, he spoke, “Look at you two, lacking in spirit. Sit up straight. I’m here to play a big game with Boss Su today. You’re with me, so you’ll play with him too. Here’s the deal, I’ll cover your losses. Whatever you win is yours, but any money you lose, I’ll pay. So, play without worry!”

Upon hearing this, the two men’s faces lit up with joy, and they settled comfortably into their seats. “Brother Jin Long, we’ll take your word for it. Let’s have some fun then!”

Jin Long nodded, his face relaxed. Gong Xin, who was sitting next to Jin Long as a spectator, couldn’t help but whisper a reminder, “This is a game with stakes of five or ten, not a small amount. You can afford to play, but where will you get the money to cover their losses?”

Playing mahjong was a popular pastime among the people, whether in the city or in rural areas. It didn’t matter if the players were rural women or wealthy ladies; if they were citizens, they were likely to play mahjong. Gong Xin, being the daughter of a military district leader, had been exposed to this game from a young age due to her mother’s social obligations.

Gong Xin did a quick calculation. Given the current stakes of five or ten, if Jin Long and the other two were unlucky, each person could lose at least five or six hundred. The three of them together could lose over a thousand in an afternoon. That was a significant amount of money. What would happen if Jin Long couldn’t come up with it? Even if she lent him all the money she had on her, it wouldn’t be enough.

Why was Jin Long acting like a spoiled rich kid today? He even referred to himself as a young master.

Gong Xin was worried. She thought Jin Long had drunk too much and wasn’t thinking clearly. She assumed he was just joking around. But if he didn’t have the money later, it would be quite embarrassing.

However, Jin Long began to stack the mahjong tiles, his movements smooth and practiced. It was clear that he had put in a lot of effort when he was in charge of public relations at the pig farm. He reassured Gong Xin, “Don’t worry. Su Shen is a complete novice at mahjong. When we go out for social events, I’m always the one playing mahjong. Today, I’m sure I can turn the tables with mahjong and thoroughly defeat Su Shen. Just thinking about it feels great.” freewebnσvel.cѳm

Upon hearing this, Gong Xin looked at Jin Long with a complex expression, then at Su Shen across from them, and finally at Gu Zi next to Su Shen. Clearly, she and Gu Zi both found it hard to understand the strange competitive spirit between men. Was it really that satisfying to defeat Su Shen? Why did it sound so ambiguous?

Gu Zi also found it strange. If she didn’t know better, she might think that Jin Long and Su Shen were a couple. Seeing Gong Xin’s glance, she couldn’t help but reveal Jin Long’s secret. With a teasing tone, she said to Gong Xin, “Don’t worry about him. He won’t run out of money. I can tell you now, this guy is the young master of the Golden Sun Hotel. He’s not short of money.”

Gu Zi had heard from Su Shen that Jin Long had always had a strained relationship with his family. Moreover, Jin Long wanted to make a name for himself and prove his abilities. His initial goal in joining Su Shen’s pig farm was just that. Now, the Daqing pig farm was undoubtedly successful, and Jin Long, as Su Shen’s partner, had naturally achieved his due results.

During the New Year, Jin Long had gone home, and his relationship with his family had somewhat improved. Now, Jin Long no longer avoided people saying that he was the young master of the Golden Sun Hotel. Therefore, Gu Zi took this opportunity to tease him in public. In doing so, she also informed Gong Xin about Jin Long’s family background, helping her understand Jin Long’s situation better and make an appropriate choice.

Upon hearing this, Gong Xin sat still, her face showing a blank expression. Gu Zi had just said that Jin Long, the rural man sitting next to her, was the young master of the city’s largest private hotel, the Golden Sun Hotel?

This was the first time Gong Xin had learned about Jin Long’s family background. It was a complete reversal of her previous understanding. She had always thought that he was just an ordinary rural man who had a job because he helped Su Shen with his pig farm. His only advantage was that he was more handsome than the average rural man. But now, it turned out that Jin Long was a hidden rich heir?

Gong Xin’s gaze fell on the man’s profile next to her. Apart from the surprise, a sense of satisfaction arose in her heart. It wasn’t that she, Gong Xin, was a gold digger. She didn’t really care about whether her partner was rich or not. It wasn’t that she was attracted to Jin Long because he was a rich heir. In fact, Gong Xin knew that she had special feelings for Jin Long for a long time.
