“Then I’ll… bet big!” Xia He made a guess and placed the chips in her hand on the table. The dealer opened the dice cup. Unfortunately, Xia He did not make the right bet this time.

Xia He looked at Qiao Mei aggrievedly and said, “What should I do… I don’t think I can win… This game is much harder than poker!”

Qiao Mei smiled dotingly and said, “You still have so many chips. You can just play however you want. If you really lose, just leave me with 100 dollars worth of chips.”

Xia He trusted Qiao Mei’s skills a lot. After all, the last time Qiao Mei came home, she had brought back two suitcases full of money. They had not even spent all of it yet! Although she did not know how Qiao Mei did it, she was not afraid of losing so long as Qiao Mei was around!

The man beside Qiao Mei said mockingly to his female companion, “Look at these two ignorant women. They have good looks but no brains.”

“Don’t be angry~         The two of them don’t know anything. They’re not as capable as you as suræ” the man’s female companion said obsequiously.

When Xia He heard this, she wanted to go forward and argue with him. Qiao Mei grabbed Xia He’s hand and shook her head. This was Bella’s territory and if there was a conflict, it would only make things difficult for Bella. It was not good to do bad things just because they were in Bella’s favor. Besides, Qiao Mei did not know if this man had bodyguards, so they could not behave rashly.

“Let’s continue playing,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He lost the next five rounds and the man won most of the chips. At this moment, the woman beside the man snuggled into his arms and said, “Young Master Shen is really amazingm ”

“Hmph, of course!” Shen Zhou said proudly as he hugged the woman.

Qiao Mei tapped her fingertips on the table. After these few rounds, she had completely grasped an understanding of Shen Zhou’s abilities and confirmed that he did not have any accomplices around.

She was going to teach Shen Zhou a lesson he would always remember. In the first round, Qiao Mei won 20,000 dollars, then in the second round, she won another 40,000 dollars. She did not lose any of the next few rounds and the amount of chips in front of Shen Zhou was reduced by more than half.

Xia He picked up a chip and smiled smugly at Shen Zhou. She said disdainfully, “l wonder who it was who said that he’s extremely capable, but I think he’s just so-so. After playing two more rounds, he probably won’t even have much left.”

“Bullsh*t! Who says I don’t have money! Hey! Get me another 200,000 dollars!” Shen Zhou took out a check from his coat pocket and shouted at the waiter.

The waiter did as requested and facilitated an exchange for 200,000 dollars worth of chips. Qiao Mei had 100,000 dollars worth of chips in front of her. As expected, all of Shen Zhou’s chips were soon in Qiao Mei’s hands.

“Young Master Shen, I’d advise you not to play with people like us. It’s easy to lose everything you have. The last person who gambled with me literally lost everything,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“The Shen family is also a prominent family in Sky City! How can I lose everything just because of a bet! This is just a typical amount which I spend in one day,” Shen Zhou said as he pretended to be calm.

“Young Master Shen, you’re so generous. You only have 10,000 dollars worth of chips now. If you don’t go and exchange for more, I won’t play the next round with you. Everyone is still waiting for Young Master Shen to place his bet!” Qiao Mei said.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhou took out his last check for 200,000 dollars from his pocket and asked the waiter to exchange it for chips. This was all the money he had brought on this trip to Sky City and also all the cash in the Sky City branch office. If he lost this round, he would not even have a chance to make a comeback.

The Shen family’s foundation in Sky City would also be shaken. At this time, it would be easy for someone to buy over the Shen family’s company. However, Shen Zhou was a gambling addict. On a previous occasion, he had lost the Shen family’s old residence to someone else. Shen Zhou’s father had to put in a lot of effort to buy it back at three times the original price.

“l don’t believe you can keep winning!” Shen Zhou said angrily.

“Come on, I’ll bet big this time,” Qiao Mei said as she pushed the 10,000-dollar chip onto the table.

Shen Zhou also followed with 10,000 dollars. This time, Shen Zhou was very “lucky” and he won.

Shen Zhou could not help but clap and cheer. He looked at Qiao Mei excitedly and said, “I told you that you won’t keep winning! Let’s see how much money you can take from me today!”

This time, Qiao Mei placed a bet of 50,000 dollars and Shen Zhou still won. After that, Qiao Mei placed a bet of 20,000 dollars each time and Shen Zhou won four rounds in a row..
