บท 956: A Bet

Meng Mingshu still hadn't decided what kind of face he should put on even when he was already in the hall of the Governor's mansion. 'Should I act like a helpless victim or a successor of the Meng family who still has some pride left?' He thought that this was all Lü Qiying's fault. That man had listed a series of reasons of why they should side with the Central Plainsmen but he hadn't told the Second Young Master Meng how he could make this show flawless.

Meng Mingshu knew almost everybody in this hall. When the Meng family had been in its prime, these people had been the circle of friends of his family. They were also the small group of elites of Jade City. Now, they were a group of curious onlookers with rich feelings, who were planning on siding with the one who eventually got the large amount of wealth.
