Chapter 642: Love A Good Gamble
Ling Pinyuan, “...!!!” How venomous were the words that slipped out from this woman’s mouth!
“You’re the one who stole the stone, and you’re the one who said you wanted to gamble. Did I say anything that I shouldn’t have?”
Ling Pinyuan, “...”
“You ignored the rules and took advantage of the fact that you’re the young lady from the Ling family to steal my grandfather’s stone. I won’t hold it against you anymore. I told you you were wrong. To appease my anger, I simply said that you chose a useless stone. So what? You dare to commit that wrong but you won’t allow anyone to complain about that? Yet, you, Miss Ling, insisted on gambling with me. What can I say? Let’s just say I don’t take well to provocation and accepted your gamble. Miss Ling, you must accept that you’ve lost. If you can’t bear to lose a mere 20 million, think about it, what if the stones you gave me contain jade? Wouldn’t you be even angrier then? You’re a military officer, shouldn’t you be less petty?”
“You...”
“Miss Ling, you must admit defeat when you’ve lost the gamble. It’s the rule in the field,” Wu Maosong said. As the witness of their contract, he stood up.
Although Ling Li was very unhappy, he had no choice but to extend his grace from the Ling family.
“Pinyuan is just a straightforward person. She’s just a little unhappy after experiencing something like this, but she’s not a sore loser. Please don’t misunderstand her, Miss.”
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and said, “Since you’re not a sore loser, I’ll thank Miss Ling for her generosity. Let’s go, Grandpa.”
When the old master came out with his granddaughter-in-law, he earned more than 20 million in a blink of an eye. This was quite pleasing to him. This feeling was even happier than him finding a stone with jade inside.
His granddaughter-in-law was indeed amazing.
The old master smiled happily and left with his granddaughter-in-law.
“Stop right there!”
Ling Pinyuan stopped them when they reached the exit of Soaring Clouds Pavilion.
20 million was not a lot to her, but the thought of bending down and giving this 20 million to the person who embarrassed her straight to her face made her angry.
Zhong Nuannuan strolled casually as she walked alongside the old master who carried himself in an extraordinary bearing. Even though no one was following them, the grandfather and granddaughter pair emitted the flair belonging to the nobility.
When she heard Ling Pinyuan’s voice, Zhong Nuannuan stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her with interest. “Why? Are you going back on your word? Miss Ling, you’re a soldier. I’m sure you know that it’s useless for you to go back on your word, even if all of the raw stones turn out to contain imperial jade.”
“Of course I won’t go back on my word. I just saw how good you are at stone-gambling, and you keep mentioning imperial jade. Therefore, I can’t help but want to make another bet with you, Miss.”
“Alright! What are we betting on now?” Zhong Nuannuan’s interest was piqued the moment she received another invitation to gamble.
After all, it was not easy for her to make a trip to the casino. In the past, she could enter after disguising herself. Now, not only did she have to disguise herself, she had to contract her bones too.
However, contracting her bones hurt!
However, as long as she did not contract her bones, the casino managers from any famous international casinos that she frequented would descend upon her in tears and pleas. They would beg her to have mercy on them while presenting her with many gifts and cards.
It was as if her presence had only one purpose—to ruin the atmosphere there.
Therefore, Zhong Nuannuan, who had not gambled in a long time, lit up at the mention of gambling.
“Previously, you kept bringing up imperial jade, that the stone I chose was useless and that you despise oily green jade. I’m sure you have high expectations for jade, right? Seeing how much you like these raw stones, there must be some ice-type jade inside, no? So, I’m striking this bet with you—if any of the raw stones that you picked contain ice-type jade, I’ll give you another 20 million. Otherwise, you’ll give me 20 million instead. How about that?”
