Chapter 247: I’ll Do It
Ji Haoyu was wearing a black suit with a white s.h.i.+rt on the inside and a dark blue bow on the collar.
His short hair brought a trace of gentleness to his handsome face that was as sharp as a knife. His every move seemed casual, but in reality, he inadvertently revealed an unyielding and elegant demeanor that made others unable to look away.
It was the same feeling Jian Ai had when she first met him. This man’s aura was always contradictory but somehow, it was not conflicting. Two completely different auras were vividly displayed on him.
With a straight flush, Ji Haoyu won another round. Tens of millions of yuan worth of chips were pushed towards him, but his expression remained the same. It was as if to him, no amount of money could enter his eyes.
“Young Master Ji’s luck today is not bad.”
The players at the same table recognized him, so they couldn’t help but laugh.
Ji Haoyu tilted his head slightly and smiled like a playboy. He said softly, “It’s just entertainment.”
The other party could not help but laugh. He thought to himself that it made sense. As the young master of a top-notch financial group in Asia, why would he be excited over a victory of tens of millions of yuan? To him, this gamble was just a game to entertain himself.
“How do we calculate the combination of cards?” Jian Ai asked the waiter who was holding the chips for her.
She had just watched a few rounds and already understood the rules of the game. However, the biggest combination that had been played was Ji Haoyu’s straight flush in the last round. Was there a bigger combination than that?
The waiter explained to Jian Ai in a soft voice, “They will look at the cards first, followed by the suit.”
“Having three joker cards is the biggest combination, known as Ghost! After Ghost, three-of-a-kind is collectively known as the Empress! Next is the straight flush. This is followed by a flush, which means that the numbers are consecutive but of different suits. Here, you have to pay attention to the fact that A-K-Q is not considered consecutive. Only A-2-3 is considered consecutive. After that, it’s a pair. A pair of aces is the biggest while a pair of twos is the smallest.”
“The suit arrangement is spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs.”
The waiter gave Jian Ai a simple and detailed explanation. Jian Ai understood immediately and smiled at the waiter. “Thank you.”
The waiter looked like he was only a few years older than Jian Ai. When he saw Jian Ai’s gentle and beautiful smile and the twinkling light in her eyes, he immediately blushed and lowered his head to hide it. “You… you’re welcome.”
Jian Ai did not notice him, and her gaze returned to the gambling table.
The match ended just in time. Bai Zhou only used a pair of Kings to end the match. The players during this round did not have a good combination of cards.
Gently patting Bai Zhou’s shoulder, Jian Ai said, “I’ll do it.”
Bai Zhou stood up and made way for Jian Ai. Seeing this, Bai Zhou’s waiter hurriedly put the chips that he had won onto the tray, while Jian Ai’s waiter placed her chips in front of her.
More people were watching this game than Sic Bo. As soon as Jian Ai sat down, a commotion broke out.
This kind of gamble might seem like a compet.i.tion of luck, but in reality, it required a very high level of skill. A person’s determination, expression, and even acting skills had to be hidden from the world to win in the end.
Obviously, in everyone’s eyes, such a gamble was not suitable for an underage child to partic.i.p.ate.
Ji Haoyu was sitting opposite Jian Ai. He was also looking at her. However, unlike other people’s surprised and probing gazes, Ji Haoyu’s eyes were only filled with interest and no other emotions.
