The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 12 Just bet
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Chu Chengxiong stood up like a rooster with feathers standing on end, his face full of anger. He hated it most when others said he was cowardly.
"Boy, who are you calling cowardly? I dare to beat up even you, the Eighth Prince. How dare you say I am cowardly..."
"Oh, really? That means you dare to gamble..." Jiang Fan smiled and poured a glass of wine for Chu Chengxiong.
"Let's bet. What do you want to bet on and how do you want to bet? Just tell me. I'm not afraid of you!" Chu Chengxiong sat down and drank from the cup.
He had forgotten that he was here to beat someone up, and before he knew it, he was being led by Jiang Fan.
"Okay... That's great! In that case, let me tell you how to bet and what the bet is about!" Jiang Fan smiled. Chu Chengxiong really didn't disappoint him!
"Let's make a bet. Miss Chu is coming here not because of the Seventh Young Master's intrusion into this place, but to break off the engagement with me. She will make three bets with me and make it clear that if I win one match, she will agree to our marriage. If I lose three matches, she will ask me to personally go to my father to break off the engagement!"
"Later, if Miss Chu comes here not for what I said, but for you, I will admit defeat. When my prince's mansion is built, I will go to my father to cancel the engagement. But if what I said comes true, you will be my guard commander for one year and be responsible for protecting my safety. Seventh Young Master, what do you think? Dare to bet?"
Having said that, Jiang Fan poured another glass of wine for Chu Chengxiong, raised the glass and looked at Chu Chengxiong.
He said this even though he had no idea what was going on. He just came to this conclusion based on his analysis of Chu Yan'er based on his knowledge of psychology.
Chu Yan'er was the most extraordinary woman in the capital, and she was used to being arrogant. With her intelligence, it was impossible for her to come to him just for Chu Chengxiong.
I'm afraid that when Chu Chengxiong comes to find him, the other party will regard it as a test of his wisdom.
If such a remarkable woman wanted to cancel the engagement, she would not resort to despicable means, nor would she use power to force him. She would only use the method she thought was most effective to force him to cancel the engagement voluntarily.
For example, when betting with him, Jiang Fan felt that Chu Yan'er would bet with him at least three times in order to convince him.
If you want him to admit defeat sincerely, you have to do it three times, which is in line with the personality of this extraordinary woman.
Why three times? Do you know what "three times is the limit" means?
As for the possibility of losing, Jiang Fan didn't think it mattered. If he lost, the worst that could happen was that the engagement would be broken off.
Anyway, he had left a way out, which was to retreat after three months. In three months, he could think of another way!
Chu Chengxiong heard this and glanced at Jiang Fan. Meeting Jiang Fan's confident gaze, he frowned. The feeling he had just had when he saw Jiang Fan reappeared. This boy's temperament was very similar to his sister's.
He suddenly felt unsure, but he was not the kind of person who would go back on his words. He raised his glass to Jiang Fan and said coldly, "Why not bet? I hope you don't go back on your words, otherwise, my fists are not vegetarian!"
After drinking the wine in one gulp, Chu Chengxiong clenched his fist and pointed it at Jiang Fan with a fierce look on his face.
"Come on, think about how you can be my bodyguard after you lose." Seeing this, Jiang Fan slapped his hand away and poured him another glass.
Chu Chengxiong was slightly stunned. No one had ever dared to hit his hand, but he was actually hit. Jiang Fan hit him so naturally and treated him so familiarly.
Chu Chengxiong suddenly felt complicated. He felt that getting along with Jiang Fan was very easy.
Everyone else was afraid of him, but the guy in front of him didn't show the slightest fear of him, nor did he have the slightest bit of the arrogance and conceit of a prince.
It gave him the feeling of an old friend.
It is normal for a reckless and honest person to have few friends to play with.
The feeling Jiang Fan gave him made him feel comfortable.
"Come, have another drink. To be honest, the taste of this wine is so damn light, so light that I can't even taste it when I drink it. If I let Solitary Brew, it will definitely be stronger and more refreshing to drink!"
Jiang Fan smiled at Chu Chengxiong.
Chu Chengxiong raised his glass again. He instinctively followed Jiang Fan's rhythm, clinked his glasses together, drank the water down his throat, and frowned.
This wine really didn't taste like anything, strong liquor? He couldn't help but yearn for it.
"Boy, can you really make strong liquor? Moreover, you can actually make wine, are you kidding me?"
"Whether I am lying to you or not, you will know then. By the way, after I deal with your sister, I will get you some strong liquor to try." Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at Chu Chengxiong.
This look made Chu Chengxiong feel that he had said something too much, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "If you can really get some strong liquor, I won't beat you... As for your marriage with my sister, you still have to back out..."
"Come on, can you please not talk about this when we're drinking... It's rare to meet someone I can drink with... Come on... Cheers!" Jiang Fan completely controlled the rhythm in his own hands.
Chu Chengxiong, who was originally looking for Jiang Fan to question him, inexplicably started drinking with Jiang Fan.
The more he drank, the more excited he became, and the more he drank, the more topics he and Jiang Fan had to talk about.
That's how drinking is. There's nothing that can't be solved with a drink. If that doesn't work, just drink again.
They drank so much that Chu Chengxiong was almost led into a ditch by Jiang Fan. He was a little confused.
On the other side, in Langya Courtyard, Chu Yan'er was listening to the little girl Xiaoya describing Jiang Fan's grace in the Golden Palace. The little girl was talking excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.
"Miss, you don't know that the Eighth Prince shocked the whole audience with two poems. One poem severely slapped the First Prince in the face, and the other poem made His Majesty feel guilty about him. He is really amazing."
Chu Yan'er heard this and glanced at the paper in her hand, which contained the poem the little girl had brought to her. She had a calm expression on her face.
The poem was indeed a good one, and it was used so appropriately. This made her more interested in Jiang Fan. However, it was only a little interest.
The husband she wanted was a man who could kill enemies on the battlefield and bring peace to the world on foot. Just two poems alone would not be enough to impress her, at most they would just make her pay more attention to him.
After all, there are many talented people in the capital who can write good poems. If this is true, how many of them can catch her eye?
The little girl talked excitedly about Jiang Fan's performance later, but Chu Yan'er didn't feel anything.
At this moment, there was a hurried voice outside the door, and then a maid ran over anxiously. She opened her mouth and shouted:
"Miss, something bad has happened. The Seventh Young Master just came back and went straight to the Cangwu Courtyard where the Eighth Prince lives. He looked aggressive and I'm afraid he was going to beat the Eighth Prince. The housekeeper asked me to tell you to stop him."
"If the Seventh Young Master beats the Eighth Prince, my Chu family will be in great trouble!" The maid spoke a little breathlessly, but still said what she wanted to say in one breath.
