A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 545: Will You Come Again?
Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Will You Come Again?
Han Qianshou opposite him remained silent.
But that didn’t mean Xiaosuisui’s group would keep quiet.
The first one to rush forward was Dugu Xiao.
"Of course you won! You rolled a leopard! Do you know what a leopard is? It’s an instant win! Regardless of what he rolled, you’ve got him beat. Quick, the money! Rake all the money over!"
Dugu Xiao was incredibly excited, practically buzzing as if he’d been injected with adrenaline. Seeing Xiaosuisui not making a move, he quickly helped her scoop all the silver and bank notes from Han Qianshou’s side and placed them in front of Xiaosuisui, his eyes shining with a golden light.
"Playing again?"
Xiaosuisui looked at the pile of silver and bank notes heaped before her, tilted her small chin up, and asked Han Qianshou.
Han Qianshou replayed all the scenarios of gambling against this little milk-doll in his mind. He stubbornly refused to believe his luck could be this bad.
He slammed his hand on the table and declared, "One more round!"
Xiaosuisui immediately covered the dice cup.
Then, she was about to shake it.
"Wait!"
Ji Youzhi stopped her just in time.
Xiaosuisui looked at Ji Youzhi in confusion. "What is it, Uncle Ji?"
Ji Youzhi looked at Han Qianshou opposite them. "Where are your stakes?"
With her large, puzzled eyes, Xiaosuisui silently asked Ji Youzhi what "stakes" were.
At this, Han Qianshou opposite them immediately fished out about several tens of Two of broken silver and placed it before him.
"That’s not enough! My precious has hundreds, maybe thousands, of Two in front of her. You’ve only got that little bit, and you want to play with her?"
Han Qianshou’s face darkened upon hearing this. He fumbled in his clothes again and took out ten or so silver ingots, each worth ten Two, placing them on the table.
Xiaosuisui looked at them, remembered what Uncle Ji had said earlier, and piped up, "It’s not as much as mine!"
A wave of laughter erupted from the onlookers.
"Hahaha! Old Han, you old gambling fiend! You’ve been gambling for so many years, and your stakes are still less than a little milk-doll’s!!"
It’s human nature to enjoy a spectacle, especially when things escalate.
Hearing the surrounding laughter, Han Qianshou gritted his teeth and pulled two slips of paper from his robes. "I’ll stake these! This is a land deed and a house deed."
Seeing the land deed and house deed Han Qianshou produced, Zhao Fei became agitated. "Those are my family’s land and house deeds! Give them back to me!"
Hearing Zhao Fei’s outburst, Ji Youzhi felt an instinctive displeasure. He shot Zhao Fei a cold glance and said, "You actually gambled away your family’s land and house deeds!"
Ji Youzhi was truly exasperated by his second brother’s terrible luck in choosing people; it was hard enough to find a disciple, and he ended up with a gambling fiend!
"No, it wasn’t me who lost them!"
Zhao Fei hurriedly explained.
"My fifth uncle lost them. I came here today intending to redeem them, but they initially demanded five hundred Two of silver. I didn’t have that much, so I proposed that since they won the deeds from my fifth uncle, I would gamble with them once to win them back."
He sounded extremely anxious and worried as he spoke. He was anxious about his family’s property deeds and worried whether Princess Chang, his lifesaver, would believe him.
Ji Youzhi and Xiaosuisui remained silent, looking at him and indicating for him to continue.
Zhao Fei took a deep, shuddering breath, desperately suppressing the rage in his heart to keep from lashing out, and said calmly, "I didn’t expect them to demand my life as a stake. If I lost, I would have to work here for the rest of my life. I refused. So, I used the five Two of silver my Master gave me as capital, gradually won five hundred Two to give them, and asked them to return the deeds. Not only did they refuse, but they also beat me up and stole my five hundred Two."
