...

Xiaolajiao wasn't pleased. She seemed eager to mock Qin Fang a couple of times, but after thinking about it, considering how unfavorable the bet was for her, she forcefully swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She took a light sniff with her dainty nose, swallowed those words back down, and only gave Qin Fang a light glare, almost like rolling her eyes, which added a bit of charm.

"Are you really Aunt Qing's son?"

Xiaolajiao's eyes rolled slightly, a small smile appeared on her face, and she asked curiously.

"As real as it gets..."

Qin Fang shrugged his shoulders. In fact, Xiaolajiao wasn't the first to ask him that, as he knew there were at least five or six people who had already asked.

The Third Young Miss Qu, who is Qin Fang's mother Qin Qing, disappeared without a trace from Hong Kong Island twenty years ago, almost never leaving a single bit of information.

And twenty years later, she returned to the Qu Family, bringing back such a big son, which truly surprised many people...

However, after twenty years, many things had become unimportant. Even Qin Qing's admirers from back then had already started families, and their children were quite grown up.

"Not like it at all..."

Xiaolajiao carefully observed Qin Fang's face for a while before saying seriously and solemnly.

"..."

Qin Fang was speechless for a moment, his expression turning rather odd.

"Hehehe... just kidding you, actually I've never even met Aunt Qing!"

Seeing the incredibly odd expression on Qin Fang's face, Xiaolajiao seemed very pleased to have gained the upper hand, but she also felt that the joke might have gone too far and immediately felt a bit embarrassed, with a slight blush appearing on her fair face.

To this, Qin Fang could only smile wryly and shake his head.

How could he not know this? Xiaolajiao's age is similar to his. Qin Qing left Hong Kong Island twenty years ago, and at that time, Xiaolajiao was probably just born and not yet able to remember things. How could she have seen Qin Qing?

As for Qin Qing coming to Hong Kong Island this time, she mostly stayed with Old Madam Qu, never left the house, and did not receive guests. Many people knew she was back, but few actually saw her.

At the moment, she was on the top floor accompanying the old madam, and these younger generations didn't have the qualifications to go up, so naturally, they couldn't see her. That's why Qin Fang had that expression when Xiaolajiao mentioned it.

Although Qin Fang wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance, if you observed carefully, you could vaguely see some similarities to Qin Qing, not entirely unlike her.

"That's what I thought too..."

For this little chili who had been thwarted and was looking to take advantage, Qin Fang couldn't say much, so he just muttered along, which made Xiaolajiao even more overjoyed.

Her smile became even more radiant, and combined with the blush that hadn't completely faded, from afar, one might think Qin Fang had flirted with her!

"Jiajia, so you're here..."

Just as Xiaolajiao was about to continue chatting with Qin Fang, a man's voice suddenly came from behind, clear and clean, with a slightly magnetic quality.

Upon hearing this voice, Xiaolajiao's beaming face immediately became a bit stern. Although she didn't fully put on a frosty expression, her smile clearly faded a lot.

She even slightly furrowed her brows, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, along with a hint of helplessness...

"Is something the matter?"

But Xiaolajiao's expression quickly passed, maintaining a faint smile as she turned her head to lightly ask the man approaching her.

Her tone was average, not appearing overly distant or unfamiliar, but there was clearly a discernible sense of distance...

The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties, remarkably handsome, with a faint smile on his face. He wore a perfectly tailored tailcoat, obviously from a world-famous designer, undoubtedly expensive...

On his handsome face rested a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a sophisticated and elegant vibe. On his wrist was a limited-edition Patek Philippe watch, which perfectly combined understated elegance with luxury.

This man was absolutely from a wealthy family, at least a young and well-off elite!

"No particular reason, just came to accompany you..."

The man did not retreat from Xiaolajiao's expression, remaining calm and natural, with a faint smile as he spoke.

"Suit yourself then..."

Xiaolajiao didn't say much, just made a simple remark, and then stopped talking to him.

However, the man nodded lightly, seemingly unaffected by the distance in Xiaolajiao's words, and directly walked up to her side, even proactively spreading his arms...

Xiaolajiao was momentarily stunned, her expression showing some surprise, mixed with a hint of anger, but in the end, she didn't show it. Instead, she extended her slender arm and linked it with the man's, as if they were a perfect couple.

Qin Fang observed the interaction between these two. Judging by their current state, they seemed to be a couple, but their expressions and gazes betrayed them.

The man might be quite satisfied with Xiaolajiao, but Xiaolajiao was clearly not that pleased with him. Yet, perhaps for some reason, she felt compelled to relent.

"Your friend?"

The man, seemingly satisfied with Xiaolajiao's reaction, didn't say much. Nonetheless, when he turned his face, he noticed Qin Fang's presence and feigned a surprised expression, looking at Xiaolajiao as he asked.

"Hmm..."

But Xiaolajiao wasn't inclined to give him face, merely snorting lightly without saying a word.

"He Feifan, pleased to meet you..."

Yet, the man wasn't angered. He walked up to Qin Fang, introducing himself while extending his hand politely.

"Qin Fang..."

"Respect me an inch, and I'll respect you a foot," has always been Qin Fang's principle. Since the other was being so courteous, he couldn't act aloof. He shook the man's hand and revealed his own name.

"Qin Fang? The son of the Third Young Miss Qu, cousin of Qu Da? Nice to meet you..."

However, the man seemed to have heard of Qin Fang's name before. Upon hearing Qin Fang introducing himself, he was immensely surprised and couldn't help but shake Qin Fang's hand a few more times, appearing quite pleased.

"Nice to meet you too..."

Qin Fang also responded with a smile on his face, very calmly.

"Damn, do you have to act so fake?"

But in his heart, he couldn't help but curse.

He Feifan seemed to be acting quite genuine, yet this guy had no sincerity whatsoever, purely putting on a show.

Actually, when other people first met Qin Fang, they often spoke politely, mostly just for show. But Qin Fang never considered it fake, but when it came to He Feifan, it was entirely different.

"Sorry, a friend is calling me over there, let's chat another time..."

Fortunately, at this time, someone not far away called out to He Feifan. He too apologized slightly to Qin Fang and then left with Xiaolajiao.

With Xiaolajiao and He Feifan leaving together, Qin Fang also found peace again. Although there was no change in his expression, his mind was another matter.

"He Feifan, son of Gambling King He of Macau... no wonder..."

Although He Feifan only mentioned his name briefly, for Qin Fang, finding out his specific identity wasn't difficult.

Once the Scouting Skill was activated, all these details became clear.

Qin Fang had guessed that this handsome He Feifan came from an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect him to have such an illustrious lineage, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

If there is said to be the Ten Great Families on Hong Kong Island, then in Macau, Gambling King He's reputation is undoubtedly the greatest, even holding titles like "Uncrowned Governor of Macau" and "Rice King," as the most powerful, profitable, famous, and longest-reigning gambling king in the history of Macau's gambling industry, definitely a legendary figure.

Moreover, Gambling King He's romantic affairs are also quite notable. He married four wives serially, and as of now, except for his first wife who passed away, the other three wives are still living together.

Among these four wives, they bore Gambling King He over a dozen children, with the eldest being over sixty and the youngest just ten years or so...

Just from this aspect alone, this incredibly distinguished Gambling King He's prowess in procreation is indeed astonishing. To still be able to father so many children at such an advanced age is truly remarkable...

Recalling some details about Gambling King He, Qin Fang, though not very knowledgeable, did know some public information, such as Gambling King He having many children but relatively few sons, with only about four or five alive and none being especially old.

And judging by He Feifan's age, Qin Fang knew which one he was...

Gambling King He's children are numerous, but the more famous ones tend to be his daughters, especially several of whom are very beautiful mixed-race beauties...

He Feifan's name left no impression on Qin Fang, but he did remember his sister born from the same womb, who was a beautiful, sensual woman and quite renowned among Gambling King He's many daughters...

However, according to some tabloid gossip, this beauty, though indeed beautiful, supposedly had a rather messy private life. As for the truth of it, Qin Fang naturally couldn't know, since those tabloids might not necessarily be fabricated, but neither are they necessarily factual... (To be continued.
