Chapter 440: Punishment
readx;
The two had been on their knees for a long time, but Juncker had no intention of getting them up!
Time passed little by little, until a cold sweat broke out on Betty's forehead, who didn't dare to use her vindictiveness, Anne couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "Grandpa, today's incident has nothing to do with Auntie, if you want to punish me, punish me alone!"
Betty glared at Anne fiercely, and hurriedly added: "Father, Anne was raised by me, she is still young, she has made mistakes, and I should bear it!"
"Grandpa, one person does things and one person does it!"
"Shut up for me!" the old man was furious, and the halberd pointed at the two of them and drank coldly, "Who dares to say more nonsense...... I'll send you all into the Emerald Hell!"
Emerald Cage...... Betty shuddered, quickly shut her mouth, and knelt honestly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old man looked at them coldly for a moment, and then asked angrily, "Betty, stand up!
Betty stood up, didn't dare to touch her numb and sore legs, bowed her head and said, "Father, I just secretly pull Anne to play with me when my hands are itchy, but Anne is obviously a half-ass, sometimes I can't even understand the rules......"
"Annie!"
Anne said calmly: "Grandpa, I was taught by my aunt to play dice when I was three years old, and I can already win my aunt when I am thirteen years old, but your rule is not to gamble!
"So, your gambling skills are self-taught, and you can win Betty at the age of thirteen, and you can even swap cards with Francis today without me...... It's a gambling genius!" Betty and Annick didn't dare to take this sentence as a sincere compliment, and sure enough, Juncker slapped the case and shouted: "But do you know that Margaret has come to the Emerald Sea, do you know how much trouble you have brought to the family!?"
Is it no wonder that Grandpa made an exception today...... Anne smiled faintly, "Grandpa, granddaughter is willing to bear all the consequences!"
Betty was anxious, grabbed Anne's shoulder and shouted: "Silly girl, is it worth it for Francis!? You were the heir that the old man valued the most, you, you ruined your life for Francis today!"
Anne shook her head calmly, "Auntie, Anne has already thought clearly, it's just ...... Today I denied everything in front of Francis, and I hope you don't tell him the truth in the future!"
Betty was stunned, and after a long time, she smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, for a man who doesn't love you at all, is it worth it, is it worth it!?" almost roared and questioned, and knelt down suddenly, "Father, Anne is still young and still has potential, please ......"
"Betty, shut up!"
Junker stared at Anne for a moment, and slowly came to her, his face was clouded, but he suddenly asked: "Anne, don't you feel itchy in your heart if you never show your gambling skills?" Answer my question seriously, this will determine what kind of punishment you will receive!"
Anne shook her head calmly, "Anne is not addicted to gambling!"
"With your skills, you don't have a gambling addiction?" the old man frowned, "In your eyes, what is losing, what is win!?"
Anne did not hesitate and shook her head again, "Today Anne denies everything in front of Francis, because Anne doesn't need anything from Francis, Anne in her eyes...... There are no wins or losses!"
Juncker's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "Since there is no winning or losing, what is gambling in your eyes!?"
Anne looked up puzzled, "Grandpa, is this question still meaningful? Anne knows the laws of the family very well, this time, even if I don't die, I will be imprisoned in the Emerald Cage for life...... Please grandpa send it down!"
"Stop talking nonsense, answer my question!" Junker grabbed Anne's shoulder violently, and with ten fingers, Anne's face turned pale and cold sweat flowed!
But Anne didn't seem to feel the pain, "Okay, I'll say ......" smiled bitterly, lowered her head and said slowly.
"When I asked Aunt Betty to marry Francis, I was full of confidence and thought about taking a gamble that Francis would agree to the engagement...... But Anne also understood a truth -- if there is a bet, there will be a win or a loss, and if you don't want to lose, you don't want to lose, and only if you don't gamble, the real winner is the one who doesn't gamble!"
There was a very strange smile on the corner of Juncker's mouth, "If you don't gamble, you win, that's a good point!"
Betty was overjoyed, "Annie, grandpa forgave you, don't hurry up and thank you!"
But it was unexpected......
Anne did not stand up, but continued what she had just said, "But when Anne grew up, she saw a lot, and thought that if I hadn't gambled back then, wouldn't I never have gotten Francis?"
Juncker's smile stopped abruptly and he looked at his granddaughter in a daze.
Betty was in a hurry, "Silly girl, your grandfather is a master of 'not gambling for gambling', and at this time you have to follow your grandfather's preference! If you don't gamble, you won't get anything...... Do you want to die!?"
Juncker waved his hand stunned, "Anne, keep talking!"
Anne didn't seem to care about the reaction of the two at all, and said her own words......
"If you gamble, you may lose! If you don't gamble, you won't get anything! Gamble or don't gamble, this question has bothered me for a long time...... Until a year ago!
I met another girl who was pursuing Francis, Avril, and we became friends, and we ...... To bet or not to gamble, I see the answer to this question in Avril - I asked Avril, what you have done today, Francis has no idea at all, you have suffered so much that ordinary people can't imagine, just to gamble that when you meet Francis again in the future, will he fall in love with you now!?
Avril told me that she never gambles, she just pursues it with sincerity...... That's it, but she won't regret it!"
Anne smiled bitterly.
"Not long ago, I met Francis again, and when I told him about Avril's promise, his emotions were far stronger than when I saw my Anne! Avril would hold a place in Francis's heart for the rest of her life, if not if it wasn't her lover, but I was in Francis's heart...... There is hardly any position, at most a good impression of an old classmate!"
Anne bit her lip tightly, her eyes moistened, and her voice choked, "Since then, Anne has learned that it was not that I shouldn't have loved Francis, but that I used the wrong method......!
Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Anne smiled miserably, and finally said: "Gambling, is to get more, but if you want to get more, you don't have to use the method of gambling! Do it with your heart, you can get it, even if you can't get it, you will lose far less than gambling! Grandpa, if you must gamble, you must win or lose, granddaughter can only say, don't gamble, work hard to win!"
After saying a long sentence, Anne lowered her head and waited for Grandpa's final verdict!
Betty was already stunned.
The old man Juncker was silent for a long time, and suddenly picked up the playing cards on the table, and tore them off with a 'bang'. He said something that no one could have imagined, "Betty, go and say hello to some of your siblings...... From this day forward, Anne is the first in line to the throne of the Batuk family!"
Betty's glasses widened, and Anne looked at her grandfather blankly.
Juncker suddenly laughed wildly, and joked, at this moment, he looked like a street gangster, "Damn, I knew that Anne had already understood this step, and she had such advanced gambling skills...... Lao Tzu bothered to remind Betty what to do!......? The dispute between the Du Chen Divine Sect and Qinshui Lake actually forced me out of a peerless genius, haha!"
The old man turned around sharply and stared at Betty, "Betty, I can tell you the truth now! I instructed you to teach you gambling skills by Rondo back then, but unfortunately, although your skills have been enough for twenty years, your state of mind has never been able to reach it...... Otherwise, you would already be the first heir in line to the family!"
Betty smirked, "Father, so Anne did what you wanted?"
"Wrong, it's met the requirements of the ancestor Thorgod Batuk!" Juncker waved his hand regardless of whether Betty understood or not, "Betty, you should understand what I mean by telling the truth - don't let me know that you are jealous of Annie! Okay, you can go out, you are not qualified to know the following things!"
Betty was stunned for a moment, and then went out with a strange smile, obviously, Anne was about to get something, and she lost the opportunity forever because she couldn't understand the old man's gambling realm, but ...... Anne, who is like her own daughter, got it, and she was even happier than she got it! Jealous, jealous fart?
Anne will be the head of the house in the future, won't the old lady be able to gamble at any time?haha! Not long after walking out of the study, Betty let out her unique, legendary Fighting God Hormone Disorder card laugh!
......
While Juncker was 'reprimanding' Anne, Du Chen and Liya were still sighing in the room.
After thinking about it, Du Chen said firmly: "It will never be wrong, it must be the card that Annie changed for me!" touched his nose, "I don't know what punishment she will receive......"
"I want to know, just go and see!" suddenly a voice sounded in his head!
Du Chen's eyes lit up, "Dus, you're finally alive!"
"Hmph, when did the fifth brother die!?" A mouthful of thick phlegm-like something crawled out of Du Chen's sleeve like a maggot, agitated for a moment, and turned into the appearance of 'Du Chen'! Very disgusting...... But the fifth brother was triumphant, and immediately after the resurrection, he roared to vent the depression of nearly ten days, "Let the storm come more violently, I, Dus, rub myself alive!!"
Leah exclaimed, "Duss, you rascal!", picked up Beibei's legs and ran out, it turned out that the fifth brother was used to his surname and had no clothes......
Du Chen laughed, but Du Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently, obviously, his shrugging movements were extremely smooth, no different from real human movements, much stronger than the stiff movements before!
Du Si said: "Thanks to you, Fifth Brother, my strength has improved greatly, and I can almost change the complex internal organs of the human body, and it won't be long before I can conjure my throat and vocal cords to speak!"
Du Chen smiled, "What about me?" Since the fifth hexagram lotus bloomed to the twentieth flower, he has been very busy, and the fifth brother who can evaluate Du Chen is still 'blowing up balloons', so he has not figured out what his strength standard is to this day, and now that the fifth brother has woken up, Du Chen's first question is naturally this!
The fifth brother sensed for a while, "What is your strength...... Remember the dragon god, I can fight him, but don't think about winning, but don't be afraid of losing!"
Du Chen muttered: "That's the eleventh level upper...... Well, I see, Douss, tell me what you encountered in the cave that day!"
Dooss pouted, "There's no hurry, hey, aren't you worried about Annie, do you want to see it with your own eyes?"
Du Chen waved his hand lightly, "The Linglong Tower of the Batuk family is heavy, and we don't know the depth of the old man, I won't take this risk for something that I will know sooner or later!"
Dooss shook his head triumphantly, "It wasn't possible before, but now...... Nineteen, come out!"
Du Chen was taken aback, when Mi Qi successfully restored the country, a total of three lotus flowers were opened, among which the role of Qingyun and Fengyuan was really Du Chen's love, but the old nineteen disappeared and has not been found yet...... Du Chen looked left and right, and after Du Si finished speaking, Lao Nineteen still had no shadow, and couldn't help frowning: "Where is Nineteen? Why can't my internal strength and Yuan Shen sense him!?"
Du Si smiled mysteriously, "In my opinion, the fifth hexagram really means...... The wind is invisible, the clouds are invisible! The real master of hiding is one who can even deceive himself!"
