18 Winning Money... (2/2)

”Dugu Xiao Yi? Why would she go to the Thousand Gold Hall?” Li You Ran frowned.

”Jun Mo Xie hadn’t taken her with him on purpose. They had actually met on the road. In fact, Jun Mo Xie had been thrashed by her. Then, she had forced him to take her to the Thousand Gold Hall.” It seemed that the bodyguard had been watching them all this while from the shadows.

”It’s alright that he didn’t take her with him on purpose. But, this has presented an unplanned situation in front of us. Jun Mo Xie… this bastard is very lucky.” Li You Ran then smiled and said, ”Well, you should immediately inform Li Feng, Li Zhen and Meng Haizou to abandon today’s plans. Tell them to leave the game… even if they have to lose some money. Tell them to fix another meeting with Jun Mo Xie. Now, go fast.”

”Sure…” the bodyguard replied and left the room.

”That was a quick decision; that too a brilliant one.” Li Shang laughed. ”If Jun Mo Xie had fallen into our trap in front of Dugu Xiao Yi… then she would’ve definitely spread the news after returning to her family. Then, those oldies would’ve been able to see through our planning. It isn’t wise to beat the grass before attacking a snake. It’s sensible to give up the plan for now. It’s also a great idea to let Jun Mo Xie win some money. This will boost-up his confidence… and he’ll agree for another game sometime later.”

Li You Ran smiled. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. Could it be that Jun Mo Xie had brought Dugu Xiao Yi with him on purpose? He felt like laughing out loud. How could a dimwit like Jun Mo Xie think like that?

It seemed that the bastard was indeed lucky.

However, Li You Ran didn’t know that it was already too late.

Their problem couldn’t be solved by losing a little amount of money.

The Thousand Gold Hall…

The gambling rules were changed thrice owing to various objections. Jun Xie kept on buzzing arrogantly; so much so that smoke seemed to be rising out of the heads of the Li and Meng brothers. However, he still continued to win. The Li and Meng brothers had lost all their money by this time.

The winners – Jun Xie and Dugu Xiao Yi – were busy in dividing the money among themselves. The others started at them with jealousy as they saw the piles of money lying in front of them. They felt as if they won’t be able to control their anger as they saw Jun Xie counting the money out loud.

[That’s our money!]

Dugu Xiao Yi grabbed a handful of bills when Jun Xie wasn’t looking. Then, she stuffed them into her bosom with a lightning speed. The value of those bills would be at least one-hundred-thousand liang. She then said, ”Jun Mo Xie, you won because of my presence. So, you wouldn’t mind if I take some more of those bills. Would you?”

[You’ve already stuffed those bills in your bosom. I’ll be declared a perverted person if I try to take those.] He touched his nose and said, ”Of course… I don’t mind. Why would I mind? I’ve only won because of Miss Dugu’s presence. It’s fine if you take some more.”

Dugu Xiao Yi’s eyes lit-up. She smiled and said, ”In that case… shall I take some more?”

Jun Xie was shocked. He titled his head and said, ”Miss Dugu, you’ve already received your winning amount. You’ve also taken my bonus. A human shouldn’t be so shameless.”

”Hehe… I’m just teasing you. It’s only a little amount of money. Look at your miserable face!” Dugu Xiao Yi shouted in a pleasant manner. She realized that her decision to come and explore this place was a good one. She got to witness such an addictive game of dice. Moreover, she made a huge profit of two-hundred-thousand liang. She felt elated.

[A little amount of money? She thinks that one-hundred-thousand liang is a little amount of money?] Tang Yuan looked-on helplessly. He too wanted to grab some money. But, he didn’t have the guts to do that. He started to feel depressed as Jun Xie didn’t even bother to look at him. [Well… I’m a man. I can’t follow a woman and grab some money for myself. Humph! Why am I not a woman?]

Jun Xie felt smothered in his heart as he noticed Tang Yuan’s expressions. [You’re a two-hundred-and-fifty kilograms of a fatty. How dare you stare at me in this manner? It seems as if a bitter gourd has been placed on top of the head of a pig. I was thinking of giving you some money. But, after seeing this expression on your face… forget about it!]
