Chapter 407 - 407 How About a Meal?
407 How About a Meal?
Ye Xuan listened to the whispers around him and smiled.
At this moment, Liu Yun looked at the dogs racing in the field and then at the big screen. Then, he turned around and spoke to Ye Xuan.
“Brother Ye, are you coming? Why don’t we make a bet?”
“Sure.”
Ye Xuan smiled and reached out to pull out the lockbox under his seat. He pointed at the box and spoke.
“I’ll bet with this box. If the dog you bet on wins, this box will belong to you. If the dog I bet on wins, the money you took out will belong to me. How about that?”
Liu Yun looked at the box and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Then, he looked at Ye Xuan and smiled bitterly.
“No, Brother Ye, you’re playing too big. This box probably has 500,000 yuan in cash…”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zheng Yue and his lackeys changed. They looked at each other in confusion and surprise.
Liu Yun also glanced at the expressions of the people beside him and laughed in his heart. He thought to himself that they were really inexperienced. They were scared silly by 500,000 yuan. Where did this loser come from?
At this moment, Ye Xuan pointed at the lockbox and smiled at Liu Yun.
“The box isn’t locked. Open it and take a look.”
“Alright, let me take a look. Ever since I used bank cards, I haven’t gone to the bank to withdraw so much cash in a long time. I miss it.”
Liu Yun teased him before pulling the handle of the box out. However, just as he did so, he raised his eyebrows and muttered.
“Hey, the workmanship of this lock box is not bad. It’s so heavy. It should be a box specially used for bank-level insurance.”
Although he said that, he was also a little puzzled because this box felt quite thin. It did not look like it was made of steel alloy.
Then, with doubts, Liu Yun gently pressed the lock and lifted the lid of the lockbox.
The surrounding young masters and young ladies were also a little curious. They leaned closer and stuck their heads out to look.
In the end, there were no red notes. They were all neatly placed golden bricks that glowed with golden desire!
Seeing this, everyone was instantly stunned on the spot.
After a while, they regained their senses and looked at Ye Xuan.
“Brother Ye, you came too fiercely. It’s a box of gold!”
“Brother Ye, you’re too rich. You brought a box of gold when you went out…”
“I’m dumbfounded. I’ve never seen so many gold bricks.”
Everyone sweated and exclaimed. Their eyes lit up as they looked at the gold bricks.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd.
“How much is this box worth?”
This voice brought direction to everyone and livened up the atmosphere.
“The weight is written on it. Let me see. Each brick weighs 500 grams. There’s one, two, three, four… 50 gold bricks!”
“What’s the price of gold now?”
“I’m checking. Well… about four hundred. Let’s say four hundred.”
“That’s 50 times 500 multiplied by 400…”
“How much is it?”
“… Ten… Ten million…”
“What? Ten million?!!”
“Did I calculate correctly?! Does this box cost ten million yuan?”
“Then what do you think?! This is gold!”
…
Ye Xuan saw that they were so shocked that they were confused. He looked at Liu Yun and smiled
“How is it, Liu Yun? Do you still want to bet?”
Liu Yun hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head.
“I’m not betting anymore. Who dares to bet on this, Brother Ye!”
The surrounding young masters and young ladies hurriedly waved their hands.
“I can’t take it. I can’t take it.”
“I can’t do it, I can’t do it. This is really too big.”
“It’s equivalent to a month’s profit from my father’s company. If I lose, I might be beaten to death.”
“It’s only Brother Ye who’s generous. He’s starting at ten million yuan. We really don’t dare to bet this amount.”
Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything. He closed the box and sat down. He crossed his legs and spoke.
“You guys go ahead and play. I won’t place any bets. Let’s just watch.”
“Hehe, I can only bet 100,000 yuan here at most. It’s a little difficult for Brother Ye to do anything.”
Liu Yun pretended to flatter Ye Xuan and ran to Ye Xuan’s side to ma.s.sage his shoulders and legs. He looked a little comical.
The others could not say anything else. They gathered together and prepared to buy two bets to play.
“Come on, come on. Then let’s buy two bets to play. Let me make it clear first that I don’t know how to play here. Don’t bully me!”
“It’s fine. I didn’t bring any money. Brother Lai Yun, lend me 20,000 yuan.”
“Hey, hey, hey, stay away from me. Have you forgotten about the 50,000 yuan from last time? You have the money to go to a ball and even went hunting with the daughter of some corporation. Don’t think I don’t know!”
“Uh… I forgot. I was in a hurry to go out this time and didn’t bring my card when I changed my clothes. I’ll return it to you tomorrow. At the same time, I’ll steal two bottles of my father’s precious good wine and give them to you. That should be fine, right? Hurry up, hurry up. The dogs will start running soon.”
“Sigh, you’re the only one who’s honest. Remember, I want white wine. I’ll cough after drinking red wine.”
“Hehe, Brother Yun, why are you changing your mind and drinking white wine now?”
“That’s right. Won’t you get muddle-headed after drinking too much white wine?”
“Stop wasting time. Hurry up and place your bets. The dogs are about to run. We won’t even be able to catch up. It won’t count even if we catch up.”
“Hahaha! Then according to Young Master Huang, which dog should I bet on?”
“Stop pulling at your throat. It makes me cough. Cough, cough, cough…”
“Quick, quick, it’s about to start. Buy whatever you want. Anyway, there are only six dogs. I’ve bet on all of them at once. It’s 60,000 yuan. I should be able to earn it back when the unexpected happens later.”
“I’m impressed. You’re a business genius.”
“You can’t do this without ten years of cerebral thrombosis.”
“As expected of Fool Ma. If you want to do business in the future, please contact me first.”
“Hahaha!”
…
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh when he heard them chatting. Liu Yanran also covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Just as he was laughing, a bald middle-aged man in a suit suddenly ran in front of Ye Xuan.
He looked at Ye Xuan and panted. Initially, there was still some disbelief in his eyes, but when he saw the box under Ye Xuan’s seat, he didn’t hesitate and smiled.
“Young Master, you’re here. I, Chen, didn’t welcome you outside!”
Ye Xuan observed him and was at a loss. He didn’t know who he was.
The young masters and young ladies who were looking at the dogs around them also noticed the person and moved closer.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Mr. Chen finally reacted. He smiled and spoke.
“Whoa, I’m the boss of the Eighth Mansion. My name is Chen Ken. It’s rare for everyone to come to my place. I’ll treat everyone to a meal on the second floor at noon.”
Chen Ken pointed at the second floor above his head and continued.
“The viewing experience on the second floor is not bad. If you don’t mind, how about we move there now? The tea has been prepared, and there are also pastries. I guarantee that everyone will have fun.”
