Chapter 736 - Win a Round
He Siyin was annoyed, and decided to teach this young girl a lesson.
“Since Miss Gu is so generous, why don’t we set the bet as a hundred million yuan a round?” He Siyin said with disdain.
She believed that a hundred million yuan had to be too much for Gu Ning, and that Gu Ning might retreat. Not many people dared to set the bet that high, because it was really risky.
Hearing that, Gu Ning, instead, cocked her eyebrow.
In He Siyin’s eyes, Gu Ning’s reaction was a sign of fear, but she didn’t know that Gu Ning actually thought that it wasn’t much. She had set the bet as a hundred million yuan while gambling with Qi Tianlin before, so she didn’t think that it was a big deal. In addition, Gu Ning was very confident that she could win.
“What? Miss Gu, do you think it’s too much? If so, we can…” He Siyin pretended to be considerate. However, before she could finish her sentence, Gu Ning interrupted her, “Of course not, I just thought that Miss He would set a much higher number, because Mr. Qi and I normally set the bet as a hundred million yuan for fun.”
Gu Ning said that to embarrass He Siyin.
He Siyin felt awkward and got angry. To her astonishment, a hundred million yuan wasn’t much in Gu Ning’s eyes. In addition, Gu Ning also said that Qi Tianlin and her would set the bet as a hundred million yuan just for fun.
Hearing what Gu Ning said, Qi Tianlin pulled his lips, because it wasn’t normal behavior. Nevertheless, he knew that Gu Ning was very rich and confident to win, so he, of course, wouldn’t expose the truth. In fact, he felt quite good that Gu Ning took them down a notch.
The result of today’s gambling concerned their shares of the business, and the annual profit was hundreds of millions of yuan!
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Let’s set the bet as a hundred million yuan,” Gu Ning said, like she was doing He Siyin a favor. He Siyin felt utterly embarrassed, but didn’t know what to say.
Besides, she got a little nervous seeing Gu Ning being so confident. She was an experienced gambler, and she sensed that this young girl sitting across the table from her wasn’t simple.
Anyway, she was a daughter of the gambling magnate, and famous for her outstanding gambling skills. It wasn’t likely that she would be defeated by a young girl who lacked experience.
From the beginning to the end, Zuo Jiangkui just squinted and sized Gu Ning up once in a while. Although this young girl sounded arrogant, she couldn’t be a simple girl since she played this game on behalf of Qi Tianlin.
Although the bet was just a hundred million yuan a round, the annual profit was much higher than that.
Illegal businesses made a lot more money that legal ones, and it wasn’t difficult to make hundreds of millions of yuan a year.
“There are many ways of playing dice. What kind do you want to play, Miss Gu?” He Siyin asked.
“Why don’t we guess the number of each other’s dice? Whoever guesses correctly, wins the game,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, He Siyin smiled with confidence, because she was very good at it.
“Sure, we can play three rounds in all,” He Siyin said.
Normally, gambling consisted of three rounds.
“No problem.” Gu Ning didn’t mind. She was going to win after all.
Gu Ning didn’t think that she would lose. Even though He Siyin was a daughter of the gambling magnate, she could have a draw at the best.
“Let’s begin now!” He Siyin said. “After you.”
“Thanks.” Gu Ning didn’t hesitate and shook the dice cup at once.
The dice knocked against each other in the cup and made clear sounds.
He Siyin focused on hearing each sound, while Zuo Jiangkui was observing Gu Ning.
She shook the dice cup for a while before hitting it against the table as well.
After a short while, Gu Ning placed the cup on the table with great force and said, “What numbers are they?”.
“Five, five, three,” He Siyin said with confidence.
She was right. Gu Ning wasn’t surprised, and admitted that He Siyin was really good as a daughter of the gambling magnate.
He Siyin won the first round.
Although He Siyin won, she wasn’t satisfied because it was still too early to see the final result.
After that, it was He Siyin’s turn. She shook the dice cup for a while before placing it on the table as well.
“Miss Gu, please,” He Siyin said.
“One, two, three,” Gu Ning replied.
Hearing that, He Siyin frowned. She had a feeling that Gu Ning was right before she opened the dice cup.
If Gu Ning guessed it correctly, she had to admit that Gu Ning was a great match. She opened the dice cup, and the numbers were indeed one, two, three.
Seeing that, He Siyin and Zuo Jiangkui were certain that Gu Ning wasn’t simple. They also realized that it wouldn’t be easy for them to win today’s game.
In the next round, He Siyin shook the dice cup first.
“Five, five, six,” Gu Ning said. She was right.
He Siyin panicked a little, because it seemed very easy for Gu Ning to guess the numbers correctly. She even thought that Gu Ning could directly see the dice in the cup.
After that, it was Gu Ning’s turn to shake the dice cup.
“Six, six, five.” He Siyin guessed.
However, He Siyin was wrong this time. She lost a round.
Actually, it was very normal to fail in a game like this. Even her father, who was the king of gambling, couldn’t win every round, but she just couldn’t accept the fact that she lost a round in a game with Gu Ning.
