Chapter 183 - Gambling
In the evening, Zhang Jun Xian came to Huo Family to pick Huo Xi Wen up. Mrs. Howe was very happy and his originally depressed and unhappy face finally revealed a smile.
Huo Xi Wen changed into a set of normal small clothes and went downstairs. When Zhang Jun Xian saw this, he asked, "Don"t you have any lively clothes?"
"Fun?" Huo Xi Wen was startled, then looking at Zhang Jun Xian"s clothes, it was not an official suit, but a casual attire. She was a little curious, "Isn"t it a royal ball?"
"It"s a royal ball, but it"s not suitable for business parties. You don"t need to dress up so formally. You can wear whatever you like no matter how comfortable." Zhang Jun Xian said.
After Huo Xi Wen heard this, she immediately turned around and went upstairs. She changed into a jacket and jeans, carrying a small backpack, with her hair tied up neatly in a ponytail.
Zhang Jun Xian sized her up, his eyes full of praise.
"Beautiful!" As he said that, he turned and bid farewell to Mrs. Howe, and pulled Huo Xi Wen out the door.
At the door, a red GTR sports car was parked.
Zhang Jun Xian walked over to secondary driving and opened the car door for her.
Huo Xi Wen then sat on the secondary driving.
Zhang Jun Xian also got into the car, started it, and the engine roared loudly.
In the next second, he stepped on the throttle and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Huo Xi Wen nervously grabbed onto the upper left armrest, "Slow down, be careful."
"What is it? "Are you afraid?" Zhang Jun Xian asked excitedly.
"It"s not that you"re afraid, it"s just too dangerous. Your car is so ostentatious, be careful or you might bring the police here." Huo Xi Wen reminded her out of good intentions.
However, Zhang Jun Xian looked as if he did not care, "Even if the police come, they won"t be able to catch up to me."
"…" His words were too logical, Huo Xi Wen was speechless.
The car sped through the city and headed for the outskirts.
Along the way, they attracted the attention of many cars pa.s.sing by. Some people even took out their cell phones to take photos.
Huo Xi Wen sat beside him. At first, she was a little nervous, but not long later, she realised that although Zhang Jun Xian was driving very fast, his car was steady and his driving skill made her a little suspicious.
"Do you play racing?" Puzzled, she couldn"t help but ask.
"You saw through it? "Let me tell you, this is only 30% of my power. If you weren"t on the car, I could have run 380 yards on this road …"
"Don"t you run so fast, I want to keep my little life." Huo Xi Wen was afraid that he would suddenly go berserk, hence she immediately said that.
"Don"t worry, I"m the old driver. You have to believe me." Zhang Jun Xian said with an evil smile on his face, and he stepped on the gas pedal again.
The car"s speed shot up to two hundred yards in an instant.
To Huo Xi Wen, who was normally used to sitting on the sports car for fifty to sixty yards, this was simply too much. In order to let her feel the speed, Zhang Jun Xian had lifted the roof of the sportscar.
Although she felt that it was scary, it was also because of the stimulation that made her feel a little excited.
In the end, he was still a young man, but after receiving such intense stimulation, his fear slowly turned into pleasure.
Closing his eyes, he felt the wind as sharp as knives blowing against his face. That scorching and ice-cold feeling, it was really irresistible.
Fortunately, they were heading towards the outskirts of the city. They had taken a road that hadn"t been opened for very long, so there weren"t many vehicles.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
It was a European style villa.
The villa was brightly lit and bustling with noise and excitement.
After getting off the car, Huo Xi Wen looked at the building in front of him and turned to look at Zhang Jun Xian, "What kind of ball is this?"
"The Wine Tasting Auction was organized by my friend, and this restaurant belongs to him. This time, he said that he got a batch of aged wine from overseas and said that he couldn"t buy it even if he was rich. Only the people who guessed correctly would be able to bid." Zhang Jun Xian said, and asked, "Have you studied red wine?"
Huo Xi Wen shook her head, "I don"t drink much."
"If that"s the case, then you can just play around inside. All of the famous and rich young masters of the Y City will be there. Who knows, maybe you will meet your old friend here." Zhang Jun Xian said, and winked at her.
Huo Xi Wen did not understand what he meant.
Old friend?
She really didn"t have many friends in the country. Ever since she was young, she had been studying abroad. Once she learned how to return to the country, she would hurriedly marry and inherit the company.
The people he knew were basically people in the business world. They didn"t know each other at all.
The two of them went into the villa, and Zhang Jun Xian showed his invitation letter. Huo Xi Wen took his arm, and walked into the hall.
After entering, she realized that the people inside were all wearing rather sophisticated clothing. The ladies all wore water high heels and a formal attire, looking very grand.
When she looked at himself and Zhang Jun Xian again, it was as if they had come to the market, which was a little too casual.
She gently pulled on Zhang Jun Xian"s sleeve, "What happened? "Look at the dresses they wear …"
"It"s because they are all wearing formal attire that we are wearing casual clothes. That way, they will be able to see us and remember us." Zhang Jun Xian"s face was filled with caution. Right after he finished speaking, someone walked over to them.
"Young Master Zhang, you"re finally here. We"ve already drunk half a bottle of wine. Just now, we were still betting on how long we would be late if you were here." Sun Luo held the goblet in his hand, and looked at Zhang Jun Xian who was in front of him, then, his gaze landed on Huo Xi Wen who was beside him, "This lady looks familiar, where have I seen her before?"
"Let me introduce you, Huo Xi Wen, my girlfriend. Xi Wen, this is Young Master Sun. " Zhang Jun Xian introduced her briefly.
Sun Luo"s eyes lit up the moment he heard Huo Xi Wen"s name, "Miss Huo? The Hauptverwaltungsgebaude"s daughter, I say, he was dressed so simply today, and I couldn"t recognize his at all. "
"Where are they?" Zhang Jun Xian looked around, but didn"t see his group of good friends.
"In the entertainment room in front." Sun Luo said, moving his mouth close to Zhang Jun Xian"s ear and whispering a few sentences. Hearing this, Zhang Jun Xian"s expression became somewhat shocked, "Really? You want to go that far? "
"Isn"t that so? I reckon that brat Li Xiang will lose half of his wealth this time. "
"What is the other party"s background?" Why are you so ruthless? " Zhang Jun Xian asked with interest.
"Do you know Ming Zhu Group?" Sun Luo asked.
"I know, I just entered the domestic market four years ago, and took the Howe Tin Group"s free ride. Now, I have completely established myself, and I have done very well in the field of real estate and import and export trade." Zhang Jun Xian said, and turned to look at the dumbstruck Huo Xi Wen beside him, "It seems like Ming Zhu and your Hauptmann"s have worked together quite a bit, right?"
When Huo Xi Wen just heard the four words "Ming Zhu Group", the face of "Fu Mu Yun" popped out in her mind.
Now that she suddenly heard Zhang Jun Xian"s question, she immediately came back to her senses, "Yes … Some. Wait a minute, you mean Fu Mu Yun is also here? "
"Miss Huo knows Mr. Fu?" Sun Luo saw that she had immediately mentioned Fu Mu Yun"s name, and looked at her with a face full of suspicion.
"Yes." Huo Xi Wen nodded.
"See that? I told you that you would meet an old friend here." Zhang Jun Xian said, and said to Sun Luo: What are you waiting for? "Lead the way."
Thus, the two of them followed Sun Luo and arrived at the lounge.
There were several people standing around the table in the lounge. There were two people sitting on either side of the table.
In front of them were several poker cards and a pile of chips.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little tense. After the dealer handed out the cards, he turned around and looked at a young man whose forehead was beaded with sweat. "Mister Li, your cards are big. Please call me first."
"One hundred million." Li Xiang did not bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Tonight on the table, he had already lost five hundred million to the man in front of him.
"One hundred million, Mr. Fu, are you willing to follow?" The dealer turned to look at Fu Mu Yun at the other side.
Fu Mu Yun looked down at her cards, the expression on her face was mysterious. "Mr Li has lost a lot tonight.
"Stop bulls.h.i.+tting, just follow me if you have the guts." Li Xiang bellowed at Fu Mu Yun with bloodshot eyes.
"Nope." But who knew, Fu Mu Yun would actually just cover her cards and stop playing.
"You …" It wasn"t easy for Li Xiang to obtain a good card, and he just wanted to make use of this card to make a comeback. He never thought that in the end, the other party would actually stop playing, and this caused him to feel extremely satisfied, "Fu Mu Yun, you won so much money, and you want to leave?"
Fu Mu Yun had originally planned to get up and leave, but after hearing his words, she frowned, "Originally, I had wanted to let you go on account of your father"s friends.h.i.+p with me, and let you leave some money behind to settle the score. Since you are so anxious to die, then I will not stop you. "Issuing cards!"
Hearing that, every one of them released another card, this time, Fu Mu Yun"s cards were much bigger than Li Xiang"s, "Mr. Fu, please call out your card."
Fu Mu Yun looked up at Li Xiang, "How much money do you have left?"
At this moment, Li Xiang"s back was drenched in cold sweat. He could tell that Fu Mu Yun was not bluffing, but actually, not only him, the spectators could also tell that Fu Mu Yun was planning to lose to him to the point where not even his pants were left.
Zhang Jun Xian was his good friend, so naturally, he couldn"t bear to see him lose so miserably. He hesitated for a moment, then walked up a few steps to Fu Mu Yun"s side, "Mr. Fu, Young Master Li lost quite a bit tonight.
Fu Mu Yun did not expect that someone would actually step out and plead for Li Xiang at this time. He raised her eyebrows lazily, her long and narrow eyes raised as she looked at Zhang Jun Xian, "I was willing to bury him, even if he was willing to die. Who are you? What"s the rush? "
Zhang Jun Xian never thought that Fu Mu Yun would not give him any face at all, he immediately opened his mouth and threw food back at him, and his expression immediately became unsightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Huo Xi Wen walking up from behind him, and looking at Fu Mu Yun, "Mr. Fu, long time no see."
