Chapter 217 -217: Gu Yajing, Have You No Shame?

Gu Qiaoqiao held her bow and arrows without moving, a leisurely smile hanging on the corners of her mouth. She then took three more arrows, as it was her turn to shoot first in the second round.

At the end of the field in front of the targets, the onlookers were left dumbstruck.

It turned out this was the true meaning of “an arrow piercing through another arrow”!

The shafts of the first two arrows had been split in two, neatly dividing down the middle, turning into four halves on the target, like a four-petaled flower.

Chu Chengfeng, excitedly lifted his camera from around his neck and began to click away, taking photos.

While Alina, upon seeing the reaction of everyone present, walked forward in disbelief. Then, pursing her red lips tightly, she turned her head and shot Gu Qiaoqiao an envious glance.

The disdain on her face faded a bit, yet she still felt that Gu Qiaoqiao might have just been lucky.

Her shrill voice then rang out across the field, and only then did Chu Chengfeng, laughing heartily with his buddies, leave the field.

As they passed Gu Qiaoqiao, he gave her a thumbs up.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled faintly.

After the field was cleared, the referee fired the gun to resume the competition.

Gu Qiaoqiao let loose three arrows again.

Just like in the first round.

And Alina, who never missed, astonishingly scored two sevens with her three arrows.

By then, the outcome had been decided.

But everyone knew that even if Alina had hit all tens, she had no hope of winning.

They were competing based on the final score in archery, yet Alina had already lost when Gu Qiaoqiao performed the skilled shot of an arrow piercing through another arrow.

Gu Qiaoqiao, holding her bow and arrows, walked towards the table.

She was going to take the Jade Flute.

At this time, the stands erupted into an uproar.

The people from West City District won gloriously!

And because they had privately set a wager, their wallets swelled once again.

Up to this point, the arrogant aura of the people from East City District had been thoroughly doused with a bucket of cold water.

Alina’s face turned red with rage; she had stolen the Jade Flute in secret.

Her idea coincided with Chu Chengfeng’s.

She also believed she was assured to win it back in the end.

And along with it, the valuable Imperial Green Inkstone as well.

But she lost.

She stood by the table, staring fixedly at the Jade Flute, yet she also knew that one must accept the consequences of their bets.

If she wished to go back on her word, she would no longer be welcome in the archery circle.

She could only glare at Gu Qiaoqiao with burning resentment.

Watching her as she approached the table, with a smile brimming with ease, as serene as a breeze with clouds scattered across the sky.

At this moment, Gu Yajing and Gu Yalan came rushing down from the stands. One grabbed Alina by the arm, and the other snatched up the Jade Flute.

Gu Yajing held the Jade Flute in her hand, and with a cold laugh, said loudly, “This is the treasure of my Yubao Square, used foolishly by this idiot as a wager. It’s not hers to bet; she stole it from my father, and neither my father nor my grandfather knew about it. Therefore, this bet does not count, and I hope everyone can understand that.”

Her voice was loud, but not as loud as the murmur of the crowd.

However, the people nearby heard her and were momentarily stunned.

Everyone knew that Alina was a child of Gu Cheng, it was well known within the circle.

It was remembered that Gu Cheng had even been penalized for it back then.

But as the saying goes, if the people do not report, the officials do not inquire, and since Gu Cheng’s wife actively suppressed the matter, no one bothered with these trifles anymore.

But today, all three of Gu Cheng’s daughters had gathered together, what were they aiming to do?

Alina had been expected to retort, but instead, she glanced at Gu Yajing, clasped her hands, bowed her head, seemingly conceding.

At this moment, Gu Yajing picked up the Jade Flute, and Gu Qiaoqiao truly had not anticipated that Gu Yajing would be so shameless in front of everyone.

She actually took it away.

Chu Chengfeng became furious, and pointing at Gu Yajing, he cursed, “Gu Yajing, have you no shame? Do you understand the concept of accepting a loss in gambling? If your family can’t afford to play, then don’t play. See that piece of Imperial Green of mine? Do you know its value? But had I lost, do you think I would have reneged on the debt?”

Chu Chengfeng’s character was known to everyone, and his string of questions made Gu Yajing’s face turn crimson instantly.

But this item couldn’t be taken away by Gu Qiaoqiao without paying a single cent.

Mother had said, after grandfather passes away, Yubao Square would belong to her and her brothers and sisters, along with all the antiques and jade therein.

She had not seen this Jade Flute before, but just now Lin Qinghuan had said it was worth at least a few million.

She argued defiantly, “This is Yubao Square’s property, not something she’s entitled to wager. She’s not qualified to do so.”

As she spoke, she looked toward Gu Qiaoqiao not far away with a fierce tone, “Yubao Square’s treasure will not fall into the hands of outsiders, even if it has to be smashed, I won’t give it to you.”

Into the hands of outsiders?

Gu Qiaoqiao pursed her red lips and stared steadily at Gu Yajing, the clear water-like depths of her eyes churning with emotions unknown to anyone else.

At that time, some in the stands realized something was amiss; it looked as though something had gone wrong.

So, they all started walking toward the field.

Subsequently, they took their places in their respective camps.

The shooting range owner was about to get up when Elder Shen stopped him, speaking in an indifferent voice, “It’s just the children’s games, let’s not intervene yet.”

The owner also shook his head with a smile and sat back down.

Indeed, they are just children—poor losers at that.

On the field, if Chu Chengfeng hadn’t been mindful of Gu Yajing being a woman, he definitely would have had his brothers hold her down and give her a severe beating.

He coldly turned his gaze to Zhao Xiaoming, “Mr Zhao, what’s your take?”

Zhao Xiaoming’s face turned as purple as an eggplant. He glanced at Alina and then fixed a deadly stare on Gu Yajing.

People like them had their own unspoken rules.

If you gamble, you must accept your losses.

Haven’t I knelt on the ground just last time, calling Gu Qiaoqiao ‘Auntie’ and slapping myself ten times?

But he couldn’t afford to provoke Alina either—rumored to have connections with Gu Cheng and backed by a powerful sponsor.

Otherwise, how could she possibly have influence even in clubs abroad?

He couldn’t afford to offend either side.

He shamelessly spread his hands, “What can I do?”

Chu Chengfeng looked at Zhao Xiaoming with contempt and said deliberately, “Within one year, none from East City District shall appear in the shooting range and West City District.”

Zhao Xiaoming, though indignant, had no choice but to accept it since he had lost, especially since he was the one who issued the challenge and naturally had to follow the rules of the game.

He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with complex and resentful eyes. Though he had thought of many bad ideas, he did not dare to act on any.

Setting aside everything else, just her skills alone—able to leave them in a dire state with just a thrown pebble.

Moreover, she was Qin Yize’s wife.

He gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Gu Yajing smugly said to her sister, “Let’s go, take this idiot home and see how grandmother deals with her.”

As she spoke, she grabbed the Jade Flute, ready to leave with an air of arrogance.

But just then, a clear and crisp rebuke rang out, “Stop right there!”

Gu Yajing turned around, her legs going weak, nearly kneeling on the ground.

There stood the strikingly beautiful Gu Qiaoqiao in a white shirt and black trousers, bow drawn and arrow nocked, her gaze cool and distant, the arrowhead pointing straight at Gu Yajing. She enunciated each word, “Put the Jade Flute down.”
