The gambling session concluded.
Mr. Yang, stripped bare and ruined, pleaded with Qin Wuce.
"Mr. Qin, I was wrong, please help me! The shares, I'll sell you all my shares! All yours!"
Qin Wuce's expression was indifferent. "Didn't you sell them already?"
After experiencing the thrill of winning, with tens of billions of chips in his hands, he couldn't stop. Even when he lost all his own money, he refused to quit.
He had people sell his shares in Jinzhu Jade, and most of his real estate, selling them at a loss in a short period, and then lost everything at the gambling table.
The game was too wild, making him forget that his funds had already been depleted by selling all his assets, and he even owed a considerable amount of money.
It was only when Qin Wuce spoke that he finally showed a look of despair.
Qin Wuce sneered and had him escorted out.
As for Zhuo Lin, she had won nearly twenty billion in this gambling session. However, besides Qin Wuce's one billion, everything else had been donated the previous night. Once those funds were put to use, it would be enough for her to earn back all the merit lost in transactions and then some.
This was simply a business with no downside.
She even considered turning this into an industry.
But she could only think about it, otherwise the system would go crazy.
Qin Wuce personally poured them red wine. "Miss Lu, did you have a good time?"
"It was alright. This place is quite interesting."
"Then Miss Lu is welcome to visit often in the future."
Just yesterday, his casino's customer traffic had peaked at seven times its usual volume. A casino thrives on high foot traffic, and with someone like her, why worry about lacking customers?
Zhuo Lin smiled and put down her wine glass. "Perhaps not. My boyfriend is not very accustomed to this environment."
Lu Chongyan's complexion was not good, whether it was due to excessive excitement or fear. He hadn't slept all night, tossing and turning like a flatbread, and was eventually persuaded by Zhuo Lin to engage in intimacy.
His emotions were too overwhelming, and they only stopped at dawn after a shower. Su Dan Novel Network.
Bai Shuo looked at the person beside her, feeling a sense of incomprehension.
Lu Chongyan was an ordinary person here, with no dramatic backstory, no remarkable abilities. He was good-looking, but not breathtakingly so… just an incredibly ordinary person.
Yet, it was such an ordinary person that she fancied.
And she protected him fiercely.
She even made love with him in a place like this.
He felt an indescribable strangeness, along with disdain and aversion. He didn't show it on his face, merely adopting a regretful expression. "That is truly a shame. Mr. Lu, why don't you like it here? Is there something we've done poorly? If Mr. Lu could point it out, we would be very happy to make amends."
Lu Chongyan felt a bit awkward, not knowing how to respond.
Zhuo Lin sensed his malice and replied indifferently, "If Mr. Bai could turn this place into a children's amusement park, we would definitely visit more often."
Bai Shuo: "..."
Turning it into an amusement park was impossible. Bai Shuo chuckled. "Miss Lu is quite the jokester."
"I thought Mr. Bai also enjoyed a good joke, which is why I jested with you. If I've offended you, then I am truly sorry."
Bai Shuo was rendered speechless again, but Qin Wuce couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, Bai Shuo. Mr. Lu doesn't like this place. Perhaps he simply dislikes the scent of money. Miss Lu donated twenty billion to domestic charities last night; her generosity truly impresses us all. Mr. Lu, as her boyfriend, naturally shares the same sentiment."
Zhuo Lin looked at him. She always appreciated those who were perceptive and had a moral compass. "Mr. Qin understands us best."
When she spoke, she included Lu Chongyan. While seemingly casual, this was a clear message to anyone wanting to engage with her: that ordinary man was hers. To speak with her, one had to acknowledge him first.
He's quite the romantic.
Qin Wuce inwardly scoffed.
"And Mr. Qin is also very well-informed."
The smile on his face froze.
Zhuo Lin had given sufficient warning and hints, so she said no more. "We're leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality yesterday, Mr. Bai. We shall meet again."
"Leaving already?" Bai Shuo was now genuinely surprised. "Many people have come specifically hoping to meet Miss Lu."
"Unfortunately, I promised Mr. Fu that I would help him look after his child."
The two men were once again rendered speechless by her words.
Below, people were waiting with large sums of money to gamble with her, unconcerned even if they lost nine out of ten bets. Yet, she was busy going back to take care of a child. It was quite ironic.
Bai Shuo would not pass up any opportunity to attract customers.
"Then I'll have someone arrange the soonest available flight for you both."
"No need," Lu Chongyan finally spoke. "We booked our tickets last night. Thank you, Mr. Bai."
Bai Shuo: "..."
