âOf course.â Xiao Ruilang smiled. âDo you dare follow?â
âNo problem. Iâll follow,â Young Master Huo said calmly with a straight face.
Xiao Ruilang smiled and said, âDoes that mean you can fork out one billion yuan? I didnât know the Huo family was so rich.â
Everyone else was confused after hearing his words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Ruilang would take out a billion yuan if he gritted his teeth. Although it would hurt, it wouldnât hurt him, but the Huo family was just an ordinary rich family. It wasnât that they couldnât fork out a billion yuan, but they would definitely empty their pockets. This young master of the Huo family wouldnât have done such a reckless thing in the past.
âDo you want to think about it, Young Master Huo?â Young Master Cheng advised.
The others also urged Young Master Huo to calm down.
However, Young Master Huo turned a deaf ear to it and said, âHow can I back down when Mr. Xiao is willing to do me the favor?â
Xiao Ruilang chuckled and said, âYoung Master Huo surprised me.â
Ye Shenggeâs heart sank when she heard that.
Xiao Ruilang was doing it on purpose. He was testing the man opposite him, and he was starting to suspect Young Master Huoâs identity!
If it were the real Young Master Huo, he wouldnât have bet so recklessly. However, to Ji Shiting, a billion yuan was just a drop in the ocean.
That man was unexpectedly cunning.
However, Young Master Huo was still calm. He smiled and said, âIâm just very confident in my skills. Letâs begin, Mr. Xiao. You decide what to play.â
The others, Young Master Huo, insisted and gave up trying to persuade him. Instead, they started to look forward to the bet.
âLetâs play blackjack then.â Xiao Ruilang smiled. âHow about that?â
âNo problem.â Young Master Huo raised an eyebrow. âWhoâs going to be the dealer?â
âWhy donâtâ¦â Xiao Ruilang looked at the woman beside him and smiled. âLet Meimei do it.â
Ye Shengge took a deep breath and looked at the man opposite her. She nodded and said, âOkay.â
â¦
Two minutes later, Xiao Ruilang and Young Master Huo sat at both ends of the gambling table, and the others sat around them, trying to guess which side would win.
Ye Shengge stood at the dealerâs seat, holding a poker card.
The rule of blackjack was very simple. The dealer would deal each person an open card and a secret card. The numbers of the cards should add up to no more than 21 points in total, and the person whose cards add up to the highest number would be the winner. J, Q, and K would all be considered 10 points. The ace card could be considered 11 points or 1 point, and 2 to 10 points would be determined according to the number on the card. If the two cards added up to 21 points, it would be a sure win.
âThen, Iâll start shuffling the cards,â Ye Shengge said, her heart beating fast.
âCome on, Meimei. Youâll bring me luck, right?â Xiao Ruilang suddenly said to her.
Ye Shengge forced a smile and said, âOf course.â
However, she prayed that Young Master Huo, whom she suspected was Ji Shiting, would get lucky.
She didnât dare make eye contact with the man in front of everyone, but she could feel the manâs gaze being fixed on her.
Ye Shengge calmed herself down and started to shuffle the cards. She rarely played cards, so her shuffling was a bit clumsy. The people at the huge gambling table could only hear her shuffling, but no one urged her.
Soon, she was done shuffling the cards and took a deep breath. âIâm going to start dealing the cards now.â
They both nodded.
