Chapter 48: Her Plans, Starting a Gambling Game
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Looking at the time, Du Ze was probably forced to graduate early by the Pei family. It seemed that he was here to seek an explanation from the Pei family.
However, he did not expect to see such a farce. Moreover, Pei Meimei had said it with such conviction. What did she mean by saying, “Even if all the men in the world were dead, she would not look for Du Ze, this poor guy, even if she was homeless.”
No wonder Du Ze was not moved by Pei Meimei’s words no matter how the Pei family tried to be friendly and how Pei Meimei lowered her voice.
According to Pei Meimei’s actions, first she let Du Ze run around naked, and now she said this. A man with a strong character would never go back to the way things were.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully observed Du Ze’s expression. Her clenched fists revealed the blue veins on them. ‘Pei Meimei, ah Pei Meimei, such a good potential stock has been rejected by you. It seems that you are really blind.’
It was just that Shen Xiaoxiao would not rashly help Du Ze now, nor would she interfere with Du Ze’s everything. Only after returning to China and experiencing countless trials and tribulations would Du Ze become a real sharp blade.
Helping Du Ze now would definitely not have much of an effect.
On the contrary, she had seen the most embarra.s.sing side of Du Ze’s life, and her understanding of Du Ze’s nature was just hearsay.
Therefore, before she fully understood Du Ze, Shen Xiaoxiao would never change Du Ze’s life. Everyone had their own path to take, and no one had the right to change it.
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Du Ze, turned around, and walked to the bathroom as if nothing had happened. She had another thing to do.
She could have easily borrowed the phone from the waiters with some money, but Shen Xiaoxiao would never dare to deal with these waiters easily. It would be fine if Yan Kuan found out about her little tricks.
However, if she wanted to contact the outside world, once Yan Kuan found out, she would be skinned alive.
Therefore, going to the bathroom meant going to the bathroom. Of course, she also wanted to see if any socialite’s daughter would accidentally leave her phone behind.
Hiding in the innermost part of the bathroom, she took a diamond-encrusted phone and dialed the number she had memorized. She hoped that the number Third Uncle had left behind before he left could really help her.
The call went through. However, she did not expect to hear the voice of a young man. Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she immediately asked, “Who is it?”
“Qingliu Yuan?”
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned when he heard her words. After a while, he said, “It’s the hometown of Zhu He Qitang.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard this, her heart instantly relaxed. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said, “I need a pa.s.sport…”
…
When they returned to the casino hall, the farce had indeed ended. Pei Li and the rest had also disappeared without a trace. This place had once again become noisy, lively, and a place where champagne and beautiful shadows complemented each other.
After getting her things done, she walked towards Yan Kuan’s place.
However, just as she walked on both sides, Shen Xiaoxiao discovered that something was amiss. Someone was following her.
There were crowds of people everywhere. In fact, it was very difficult to notice that someone was following her. However, the decorations here were magnificent. Even if it was an ordinary pillar, there was a golden mirror on the door.
She pretended to tidy her hair and tilted her head slightly. She could clearly see the scene behind her. The person who was following her was one of Devon’s men.
She had lived under Devon for 11 years. She knew almost all the lackeys around him.
Therefore, although that person pretended to be very good, Shen Xiaoxiao recognized him at a glance.
She continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. Yan Kuan was still standing there waiting for her. When he saw her walking over with a gentle expression and was about to reach out to pull her, he caught Shen Xiaoxiao’s subtle expression.
His eyes darkened slightly. He continued to pull her as if nothing had happened, holding her in his arms and saying, “Let’s go. The last five contestants have come out. The finals have begun. Aren’t you very interested?”
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Yan Kuan. With just a glance, she knew that Yan Kuan understood what she meant. She immediately cooperated and said, “Is that so? Then we have to take a good look.”
Speaking of which, this man, Yan Kuan, really knew her very well. With just a glance from her, he knew what to do and what had happened.
She didn’t know whether to say that this man was too powerful or that this man knew her too well. Either way, it made Shen Xiaoxiao feel a little strange.
“You invited me to watch a good show just now. Now, it’s my turn to invite the little guy to watch a good show too.”
A low voice sounded beside her ear, with a hint of bewitching and lingering warmth. For some reason, Shen Xiaoxiao felt her heart skip a beat. Whether it was for the tacit understanding or for some other reason, she could not tell.
Yan Kuan only needed to make a slight gesture for the hidden guard to quietly walk down.
As expected, the top five had been selected. It was not just Devon and Bill who were standing there. At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao actually saw the person she wanted to see the most — Qian Weitang.
Qian Weitang actually appeared here. Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Yan Kuan with a questioning look in her eyes. Yan Kuan comforted her by patting his shoulder and then said, “He’s one of the top five this time. He’s ranked in the top three.”
“Top three? What about you guys? Didn’t your casino send anyone?”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that these casinos would definitely not give up the champions.h.i.+p so easily. Although… Her question made Yan Kuan once again be filled with curiosity towards Shen Xiaoxiao who understood the rules. This little thing… She was indeed not as simple as he had imagined.
“Little guy, can you guess which one of these five people is mine?”
Yan Kuan teased Shen Xiaoxiao a little. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the five people not far away. Other than Qian Weitang, Shen Xiaoxiao directly locked her gaze on a slim man who looked to be at most in his twenties. He was wearing a pair of gla.s.ses.
“Is it that person?”
Shen Xiaoxiao pointed with her finger. Yan Kuan looked over. Sure enough, this girl recognized him at a glance. She had good taste.
“This little thing has good taste. It’s him. However, he still has other tricks up his sleeve. Just wait and see.”
“Wasn’t Qian Weitang rejected by the M Nation? Why does he dare to appear here so brazenly now?”
“Little thing, this is K-ONE, my territory. No one, no one would dare to capture anyone from me.”
This man spoke so domineeringly. His aura made Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart beat faster and she almost couldn’t breathe properly. At this moment, she felt that this man was surprisingly eye-catching and shocking.
However, she didn’t dare to forget that he wasn’t an ordinary person. He was the king of the Dark Empire and he was the absolute king, the Black Emperor.
She smiled faintly and did not say anything else. She only suppressed the short-lived feelings she had just felt. The gap between the two of them was too big. She was an insignificant little person. He was the king who was full of vigor and was well-prepared.
In fact, she did not have to make a choice. She did not have to worry. From the beginning to the end, there was only one path for her. Return to the country and take revenge!
Looking at the little thing that suddenly stopped talking, Yan Kuan was a little confused for a few seconds, but then he returned to normal, because Devon and the others had already walked over.
“President Yan, how is it? Are you interested in betting on the next round?”
Bill glanced at the little loli next to Yan Kuan. She was a little colorful, but she was not his type. However, he wanted to see Yan Kuan and Devon go against each other first. His goal tonight was to sit back and reap the benefits.
“If you want to bet, you have to wait until the game is over. But Devon, are you going to play on your own? Or are you going to let your gunner play?”
The people present were not idiots. They naturally knew who the gunner was pointing at. Devon brought Qian Weitang here today to divert Yan Kuan’s attention. For some reason, Yan Kuan had always wanted to get Qian Weitang from him.
But when he was at the club, Yan Kuan had plenty of opportunities to take Qian Weitang away, but he did not take him away.
Why? So this time, he deliberately brought Qian Weitang here to see Yan Kuan’s reaction. But why did this Yan Kuan look like he was fine?
This made Devon somewhat uncertain.
“Alright, after this match is over, how about we play a game upstairs?”
“We can play a game, but this bet, hehe…”
