Chapter 325: Cheating
“Why? Do you think I’m disappointed in you because of such a small matter?”
Ouyang Jinming looked at Pei Li, who looked like he was about to die, with a defeated look on his face. He continued to say angrily:
“It’s just that you don’t have the ability to give birth. There are so many descendants in the Ouyang family. When the time comes, won’t it be enough for you to select a few successors from among them? What’s there to be disappointed about? I can think of things at my age, yet you’re still so pedantic at such a young age.”
Ouyang Jinming’s words were like a bolt of lightning, exploding Pei Li’s head into pieces.
“Dad, why don’t you mind?”
Ouyang Jinming listened to Pei Li’s silly words and said indignantly, “Your great-grandfather is my grandfather. He’s not the biological son of the previous family head. He came from the side, so why do you care about these things?”
“Although the Ouyang family favors the legitimate son, the ability to choose the family head is more important.”
Ouyang Jinming’s words made Pei Li realize that Ouyang Tian did not give up on him. He did not deliberately act as if he fancied him, but Ouyang Tian actually did not care about whether he had the ability to have children. It was his ability… What Ouyang Tian fancied from the beginning to the end was his ability.
It was so close. It was so close that he missed this opportunity to become decadent.
“Dad, I understand what you mean. From now on, I will focus all my attention on my career. As for the rest, I will not think about it anymore.”
Ouyang Jinming nodded his head in gratification. This Pei Li was good in everything, except that sometimes he was a little pedantic. However, it was good that he could understand such things. As long as he had the ability, everything in the Ouyang family would belong to him and his son sooner or later.
…
The casinos in Las Vegas had always been noisy and prosperous regardless of day or night.
You could see some people getting rich overnight here at any time, or you could see some people falling into the abyss overnight.
Because of the time difference, Shen Xiaoxiao became more and more energetic at night.
Yan Kuan looked at her and smiled helplessly as he pulled her into the casino.
No matter how many times she came to Kone, she would be shocked by the spectacular scene here.
It was impossible to have such an open casino in China.
The only place to play cards and gamble to her heart’s content was in Las Vegas.
The pace here was slow, and life was free and unrestrained. 80% of the population engaged in gambling-related industries.
Shen Xiaoxiao actually did not like to go to the second or third floor, or to other gambling halls on higher floors. Although that was a place where rich and n.o.ble areas gathered, only at the bottom could she see different things and experience a different life.
Of course, the air was definitely a little worse. For a pregnant woman like Shen Xiaoxiao, no matter how different the experience on the ground floor was, it wasn’t suitable for her to stay there.
“The second floor is about the same as the first floor, but the air on the second floor is much better. Let’s go to the second floor!”
Yan Kuan pulled Shen Xiaoxiao directly to the second floor.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s favorite gambling method was to guess the size. Because of her amazing hearing, it was very easy for her to distinguish the size.
Of course, once she really used her own ears to listen, it seemed as if she didn’t have the intention of gambling. So, Shen Xiaoxiao gave up guessing the size and walked over to play blackjack.
As soon as she entered the second floor, Shen Xiaoxiao let Yan Kuan go off to do his own things. 19 followed her all the time.
This was Yan Kuan’s territory and no one dared to cause trouble here, so Yan Kuan was very relieved. Moreover, 19 followed her all the time. So, Yan Kuan turned around and walked upstairs.
“Miss, do you want to play blackjack? There are seats over there. Let’s go and sit down!”
19 was familiar with this place. Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao staring at the cards with the chips in her hands with great interest, he led her to another seat near the window.
“19, you’re the most caring little cotton-padded jacket!”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not shy away from praising him. Fortunately, 19’s face had already been trained, or else he would really be embarra.s.sed to death.
It was very easy to play blackjack here. Shen Xiaoxiao sat next to a white man in his 40s and a Chinese-American beauty in her 20s.
She sat down and nodded slightly at the beauty next to her. This woman was very cold and had a cold temperament. She did not speak. Even though Shen Xiaoxiao took the initiative to express her goodwill, she still looked at her indifferently and then turned her head to stare at the table.
Shen Xiaoxiao was rejected. However, she was not angry. Originally, they had only met by chance at the gambling table in the casino and did not have any intention of getting to know each other. She nodded and smiled out of the unique etiquette of the Chinese people.
It was none of her business if they ignored her.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s luck was neither good nor bad. On the other hand, the cold young woman’s luck was quite good. She had already won quite a lot on the table.
However, every time she looked at the cards, her action always made Shen Xiaoxiao feel very strange. Every time before she looked at the cards, she would first use her left hand to hold the cards before flipping them. This action made Shen Xiaoxiao involuntarily think of some gambling games that she had watched before. Why did it feel like this person was cheating?
It was because this young woman was wearing a brand name tag. No matter how she looked at it, she did not seem like a person who would cheat!
Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at 19 and signaled him to look at the woman beside her with her eyes. 19 immediately turned his attention to her.
With one look from 19, he could tell that she was cheating.
19 did not say anything. He just pretended to cough twice and nodded at the dealer who was dealing the cards. The dealer immediately understood. He reached out and pressed on the table. The people from the security department should be here immediately.
However, that cold woman was extremely sensitive. When she saw the dealer’s action, she frowned and immediately pulled the cards and got up to leave.
However, before she left, she gave Shen Xiaoxiao a fierce glare. She saw that she was pregnant and even looked at her viciously.
Her gaze made Shen Xiaoxiao scared. This was the first time that someone had stared at her pregnant belly with such a vicious gaze.
This made Shen Xiaoxiao feel extremely disgusted and appalled. It would be fine if she was ostracized, but it was so blatantly malicious towards her belly. This made Shen Xiaoxiao very uncomfortable.
Could it be that this cheating was justified? Moreover, it was in K-ONE. No matter what, this was her own territory. How could she allow her to cheat here!?
“Miss, don’t go. Why are you walking so fast? If you want to leave, you have to leave your things behind!”
The cold woman did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to make a sound at this time.
She looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and said in fluent English, “Do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in my business? Do you think you can meddle in my business with a second-rate bodyguard?
“Be careful, or I’ll make sure that you and your baby won’t be able to leave Las Vegas.”
She was cold, but her words were even colder.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression was no longer as calm as before. Instead, she said with a serious face, “I’m not sure if I can leave Las Vegas, but you definitely can’t.”
