Chapter 574 - Too Exaggerated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling knew that it was impossible that her brother gave her a fake card.

Thus, she just looked at Nangong Qingya calmly and said, “Who knows, maybe the machine is really broken or Miss Nangong is nervous. We can just try a different machine.”

However, just as she finished speaking, the staff spoke hesitantly. “Miss... Ye, your card can’t be read. Other cards can be read as per usual, so the machine is not broken.”

Nangong Qingya snorted again. “Miss Ye, why are you still acting? Do you think you can fool us using a fake card? You should just admit that you’re poor to avoid embarrassing yourself.”

Xia Ling frowned. How could this be? Her brother would definitely not beguile her with a fake card. She said to the staff, “Try again. This is definitely not a fake card.”

Nangong Qingya sneered at the side. “What for? I’ve seen people slapping their faces until they look swollen in an effort to look imposing, but this is the funniest so far. Haha, hilarious!” A cheerful smile appeared on her delicate face. Her eyes shined, and she looked contemptuous and arrogant.

Looking at her laugh passionately, Xia Ling couldn’t help but say coldly, “Miss Nangong, why are you so sure that this is a fake card? Do you dare to gamble with me? If that card really has money, would you pay me the same amount that’s inside it?” She didn’t know how much her brother gave her, but since he said that it was her pocket money interest, the amount probably would not be too big. She didn’t want to earn Nangong Qingya’s money but regain her pride.

Nangong Qingya smiled even more beautifully. “Ye Xingling, are you becoming crazy over money such that you dare to start a gamble you will surely lose? Sure, I agree. Let’s see how useful this fake card is. If there really is money, not only will I pay you the amount inside, I can even double or triple the amount with no problem.”

“Ok then, you will pay me three times the amount.” The more Xia Ling fought, the braver she became. In the face of war, she never retreated. Since Nangong Qingya suggested to pay her three times the amount, she would pay her three times the amount. It was just in time because she was afraid that her pocket money interest was too small and not enough to worry Nangong Qingya.

“Three times, then.” Nangong Qingya smiled without care. “But what about you, Ye Xingling? If there’s no money in this card, what will you do?”

“What do you want?” Xia Ling asked.

“Very simple. If there’s no money in the card, stay far away from Li Lei in the future and stop pursuing him anymore.” Nangong Qingya said. Suddenly, she felt that this gamble was very worthwhile because she could easily defeat her love rival without much effort.

However, Xia Ling fell silent for a moment. “No, I won’t gamble using Li Lei. Choose something else.”

“What, you don’t dare to?” Nangong Qingya smirked.

“Even if I have the confidence of winning, I can’t use my feelings with him as a bargaining chip. Love is priceless.” Xia Ling said seriously.

In the small store, everyone was silent. When this girl spoke, she seemed to exude some kind of magic that made everyone admire her.

Her love was priceless. The man whom she loved must be very lucky.

In a flash, several spectators watching the battle felt that although Nangong Qingya was from an eminent family and Xia Ling was an ordinary artiste, the latter was obviously a better match for Second Young Master Li. Unconsciously, they started to support Xia Ling in their hearts.

Nangong Qingya was still convinced that she didn’t have the guts and smiled scornfully. “I want to bet on him. Otherwise, you can forget about getting three times your money. Before we forget, does your card even have money? How about we cancel this bet and I give you three times the amount of everything in this store so you will get out of Li Lei’s sight.”

“Do you think you’re all that because you’re rich?” Xia Ling said faintly. “I will give you ten times the money, Miss Nangong. Will you get lost?”

Nangong Qingya didn’t expect that she would rebuke, and her face turned pale. “Do you think I’ll fall for your tricks?” She slammed her credit card on the table. “The money is in here. If you have the ability, win. Otherwise, you can kneel down and bow to me three times. Maybe then I will consider letting you go.”

It was the greatest humiliation to kneel down and bow to someone.

However, it was much easier to accept for Xia Ling than betting Li Lei’s love.

“I promise you.” She said.

“Fine.” Nangong Qingya arrogantly glanced at all the staff present. “All of you here are witnesses.”

The staff members helplessly nodded.

In reality, they were really curious about whether Xia Ling’s card was fake.

Xia Ling said to a staff member, “Look for another card reading machine and try again.”

“It’s useless.” The staff said, “Our card reading machines are all the same. Miss Ye, the reason why your card can’t be read might be because it’s fake or...”

“There’s another possibility?” Xia Ling asked.

The staff said, “Another possibility would be because there’s a limit to how much money our machines can read, which is why an error occurred.”

Could it be that it exceeded the card reading limit? How much money exactly was that?

Nangong Qingya couldn’t help but ask, “What is your card reading limit here?”

“10 million.” The staff said.

“Ha, just 10 million?” Nangong Qingya chuckled. “However, I don’t think that Miss Ye is someone who can have 10 million in cash. It must be a fake card.”

Xia Ling also felt a bit uncertain. Her brother said that this was only her pocket money interest. How could it be 10 million? Was this card really fake?

She asked, “How else can I find out how much is in this card?”

The staff said, “If the amount is too large, I’m afraid that you can only check the amount at the bank counter. You can also call the bank, and the balance inquiry system will automatically broadcast the balance of the card for you.”

Nangong Qingya sneered. “Go to the bank counter? So troublesome! I think that Miss Ye should just turn on her phone’s speaker and call the bank to find out her balance.” She was afraid that Xia Ling might cheat and deposit some money into the card. Thus, she had to monitor her closely so that she had no chance to weasel her way out of this.

Xia Ling didn’t mind and really made the inquiry call in front of everyone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She pressed the speaker button and everyone heard clearly. After the prompting sound, a pleasant female voice reported, “The balance of your card is 10 billion yuan. To listen to this again, press 1. To go back to the menu, press 0...”

“Wh... what?! 10 billion?!” Everyone was about to go crazy and suspected that they heard wrong.

Nangong Qingya’s face turned pale. “How’s that possible?!”

Even Xia Ling was stunned and thought that what she heard was an illusion. She looked at her phone in awe and absent-mindedly called the bank again.

It was still 10 billion yuan.

Xia Ling was astounded.

All of the staff members were shocked too. One of the reacted and mumbled. “Oh my god. Just now, the bet stated that Miss Nangong had to pay her three times the amount she had on the card. This means that since this card really has money, Miss Nangong has to pay Miss Ye 30 billion!”
