Chapter 1896: You Must Work Hard, I Bet You Will Succeed
There was no fear in Da Liang’s eyes. Instead, he looked at the huge cake in front of him. It was half his height. He might not be able to finish it even if he ate it for an entire day, let alone tonight.
“Yes, this cake. I want you to finish all of it, you heard me right.”
Sire Nine had an inkling of what was going on. He finally followed Da Liang’s suspicious gaze and looked at Mao Nana, who was sitting beside Da Liang, who was so frightened that her face turned pale. There was a hint of a smile in his voice. “Young man, if you eat it tonight, not only will I let Second Brother let you go, I can also agree to one condition of yours. As long as I can do it, I will agree to it, as long as you bring it up.”
Sire Nine looked at Da Liang. The coldness in his eyes, along with the coldness in his body, made the originally cold private room even more silent. Even the people around him did not seem to dare to breathe too loudly.
“I’ll try.”
Da Liang did it not because of Sire Nine’s conditions. People in this circle would not take anyone’s promises seriously at all. Sire Nine was speaking confidently now, but once he turned around, if he said that he did not say anything or framed someone else, then Da Liang would really have nothing to say.
“Okay. Try it.”
The height of the cake was 1.2 meters and the width of the bottom was nearly one meter. No matter how much Da Liang ate, it was impossible to finish it.
“Do you guys want to make a bet and see if this young man can really finish this cake?”
Second Brother clapped his hands and shouted at the people around him.
“Sure, sure.”
Everyone present either had something to ask of Second Brother or they were like Mao Nana who was asked by Second Brother to come to the scene. They had no choice.
“Alright, since everyone says so, young man, you must work hard. I bet you will succeed.”
There was a hint of suspicion in Second Brother’s eyes. He looked at Da Liang with a mocking gaze.
“Second Brother, you…”
Da Liang could not believe it. Did this rich man’s game have something that he could not understand?
“Second Brother, do you really have to force yourself to do this? This is such a big cake. Do you think he will win?”
Sire Nine laughed out loud. However, his laughter made people feel fear. It was like a distant iceberg. It was as if he could see Da Liang’s fate in the next second.
“Of course I bet that he will win. After all, I’m the one who found him. Young man, you have to work hard. I bet that you will win. My Big Brother thinks that you won’t win. You have to work hard. If you don’t give me face, I’m afraid you won’t be able to stay in R City anymore. Sigh, what if you can’t survive in this industry anymore?”
There was a hint of sadness on Second Brother’s face. It seemed like he was really worried that Da Liang would not be able to survive in this city.
“Thank you, Second Brother. I will work hard.”
It was only then that Da Liang realized that he was not just going to eat this cake. This cake was taller than him when he sat down, how was it possible for him to finish it tonight.
Furthermore, when Da Liang saw this cake, his stomach already felt full.
“Sure, you can do it. I have faith in you.”
Second Brother smiled. The surprise in his eyes made his heart grow colder.
Da Liang mustered up all his strength. As he ate, his eyes turned red from the choking. However, under the smiles of Second Brother and Sire Nine, Da Liang did not know what would happen to him. At least today, he could not let Mao Nana fall into danger with him under such circ.u.mstances.
His tiny stomach could no longer be stuffed. While Da Liang was choking, Mao Nana patted his back and looked carefully at the two big shots beside him. It was as if these two were the only rulers here.
“I’m fine. I can finish.”
Da Liang comforted himself as he ate.
“Don’t eat it if you can’t eat it. How can you eat such a big cake?”
Mao Nana’s heart ached for him. She hated herself for being taken advantage of by her second brother just now. It was just like watching Da Liang eat a cake that everyone in the private room could eat.
“It’s alright, I can do it.”
Da Liang was forcing himself to last on. As he spoke, he burped and veins popped on his head. His eating speed became slower and slower.
“Are you unable to eat anymore? Young man, I want to bet on you winning. If you lose, I’ll lose a lot of money. If you lose this money, I’m afraid that all the business that my second brother has been doing for so many years will be lost by this bet of yours. If you can’t finish it, then shouldn’t you come and compensate me with this money? After all, I trust you so much. If you disappoint me, then I’ll go bankrupt.”
The real reason why Second Brother bet that Da Liang would win was because of this. Mao Nana could not believe it. How was this human? It was as if he wanted to push Da Liang into a fire pit or even turn all of Da Liang into ashes.
“I don’t think he’ll be able to take it. Second Brother, you’re definitely going to lose this bet.”
Sire Nine smiled and continued Second Brother’s words. He had already changed his cigar to the third one. The ashes from the cigar had all landed on the cake.
The white cream, yellow ice cream, and pink cream dress made the princess dress look so beautiful. However, Da Liang had not even eaten the tip of the iceberg of the cake and was already stuffed to the brim.
“I can do it, Second Brother. I can do it.”
His s.h.i.+ny hairstyle was no longer as das.h.i.+ng as it was when he first entered the house. Instead, he looked even more s.h.a.gged. The wine stains on his white suit made him look extremely s.h.a.gged.
“If you can’t, let me know. It won’t be good if your stomach burst.”
Second Brother looked past Da Liang and saw Mao Nana, who was sitting beside Da Liang. The sadness in her eyes was so touching that it tugged at his heartstrings. It made Second Brother feel more about the mystery and surprise that Mao Nana exuded.
Especially Mao Nana’s long legs that were wrapped in a black silk knitted skirt. Although he could only see them vaguely, it already made Second Brother feel that this woman was definitely a beauty and definitely trusted his judgment.
“Second Brother, if you lose this bet, how much do you owe me?”
Sire Nine’s lips curled up as he held the cigar between his index and middle fingers. He looked at Sire Nine with a suspicious smile, which made one feel even more brazen.
