Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 64: Baby, I’m Sorry

"One hundred million!"

Qin Zhao's first card was quite large, so she spoke first.

Ye Jianxiong praised: "Very good, now that's what I call a bet! I raise 4 billion!"

For the second card, they both had pairs.

Qin Zhao: "I raise 6 billion!"

Ye Jianxiong: "I raise 12 billion!"

After three rounds of betting, Qin Zhao had a flush of the ace, jack, ten, and five of spades.

Ye Jianxiong had three threes and a single nine of diamonds.

Qin Zhao glanced at the bottom card, which was the two of spades.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She looked up and said, "I raise twen-"

But before she could finish, Xiao Ning stopped her!

Ye Jianxiong had been observing them, so he immediately noticed something off.

Seeing them whisper to each other, Qin Zhao changed the number she was about to say: "I raise 18 billion."

Ye Jianxiong laughed and asked, "What's wrong, out of chips?"

Qin Zhao calmly replied, "I think even 18 billion is quite a lot. How can you say I'm out of chips?

Whether you can keep up is still uncertain!"

"Hahahaha!" Ye Jianxiong laughed loudly, "You dare boast with just 18 billion? You think too highly of yourself!"

He called over an assistant. After a quick, quiet discussion, Ye Jianxiong frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the situation.

But when he turned back, his expression had returned to calm. He looked at Xiao Ning and said, "I didn't bring enough cash. Can you give me half an hour for my assistant to transfer the funds?"

Xiao Ning replied, "We can wait for people, but not cards.

If the gambling god can't produce chips within ten minutes, it will count as folding.

You can also go all in directly, reveal the cards, and let Sister Qin decide whether to play high or low."

Ye Jianxiong stared at Xiao Ning with intense, piercing eyes, trying to get her to compromise. But Xiao Ning's psychological resilience was much stronger than he imagined.

The two confronted each other for a moment before Ye Jianxiong said, "Then wait 10 minutes."

His assistant was very tactful. Before Ye Jianxiong gave the order, he was already contacting the relevant personnel.

Time ticked by second by second. Ye Jianxiong occasionally tapped on the table, betraying his impatience.

With only one minute left, 502 said happily: "Host, we're going to win!"

Suddenly, Qin Zhao noticed movement to her right. She turned to see Nan Yue standing up, her gaze falling on Ye Jianxiong.

Ye Jianxiong also noticed Nan Yue's action and looked to her, waiting for her to speak.

Nan Yue said, "If Uncle Ye agrees to one condition from me, I'm willing to provide 3 billion to help him continue raising."

Ye Jianxiong gestured for her to go on: "Let's hear it."

Nan Yue continued: "I know Uncle Ye is one of the hidden shareholders of Nan Group. I hope you'll attend the board meeting in late May and cast your vote for me."

Ye Jianxiong's expression changed slightly. He had purchased 4% of Nan Group shares under the name of his casino company. Very few people knew this information!

How did Nan Yue find out?

He locked in Ye Chenxi as the prime suspect, thinking to himself that he would have to discipline that rotten kid later for blabbing about everything.

Then Ye Jianxiong nodded in agreement to Nan Yue's request: "No problem, I've had a good impression of Miss Nan all along."

Everyone present could tell this was just lip service.

But Nan Yue didn't care. She had gotten the vote she needed.

The female bodyguard handed her some documents. As Nan Yue took them and walked forward, a hand grabbed hers. No need to look back to know who it was.

Qin Zhao said, "Nan Yue, don't go to Ye Jianxiong. Stay by my side."

Nan Yue apologized to Qin Zhao in her heart: I'm sorry, darling.

She replied, "Qin Zhao, don't take our relationship too seriously. It was just a fling.

Compared to real interests, you are nothing to me."

Qin Zhao let go. Nan Yue continued forward until she reached the seat beside Ye Jianxiong.

Ye Jianxiong stood up to shake Nan Yue's hand: "Pleasure doing business!"

"Pleasure doing business."

After Nan Yue sat down, the two sides were divided - two people on each side, now facing each other.

Seeing Qin Zhao's downcast expression, Xiao Ning whispered, "Sister Qin, are you alright? Maybe she said those things out of difficulties of her own."

Qin Zhao collected herself for a bit before squeezing out a smile: "I'm fine. There are so many good women in the world, I don't have to have her.

Xiao Ning blinked playfully: "You're right, Sister Qin. For example, I'm not bad either. You can consider me."

"Okay, I'll think it over carefully."

"Ahem!" Ye Jianxiong coughed twice to interrupt their conversation: "I raise 30 billion!"

Qin Zhao recovered her calm expression: "I don't follow. You make the call."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning's face instantly turned pale as paper!

Seeing her reaction, an involuntary smile escaped Ye Jianxiong. He said, "Playing low!"

They both flipped over their bottom cards.

Ye Jianxiong's was the jack of hearts, which combined with his other cards for three-of-a-kind, lower than Qin Zhao's flush!

"Hahahahahaha!" Ye Jianxiong could no longer restrain himself and laughed loudly!

He had won 4 billion in a single hand!

It was the highest record in his gambling career!

Ye Jianxiong's assistants were ecstatic, hugging each other and celebrating!

Flushed and red-eared from excitement, they looked especially festive against the casino's gilded decor.

The crowd caught their enthusiasm and joined in the excitement, chatting noisily as they congratulated Ye Jianxiong on his windfall.

Ye Jianxiong also warmly responded to them!

The two quietest people in the room were the losers, forming a stark contrast to the joyous atmosphere around them.

Nan Yue couldn't bear to look at them anymore and turned her face away.

Xiao Ning had her face covered as her shoulders shook slightly, seemingly crying.

Muffled sobs leaked out from between her fingers.

Although Qin Zhao's disappointment did not show overtly on her face, perceptive onlookers could sense her displeasure.

When the commotion died down, Ye Jianxiong asked, "Miss Qin, care to go again? If you're short on chips, I can lend you 1 billion."

Qin Zhao ignored him and turned to Xiao Ning: "Now you've gotten a deeper understanding these past three years of just how powerful Ye Jianxiong is. If losing just a few hands and a small sum makes you completely despair, then you're destined to always be beneath him. There's no way you can avenge your father. Had I known you were so fragile, I never would have taken you on as a partner, because you're not worthy!"

Listening to Qin Zhao's account, Ye Jianxiong could not restrain the pride swelling in his heart. His original intention of hurrying them along gradually transformed into anticipation for Qin Zhao's flattering words. He almost felt like floating.

Under Qin Zhao's verbal lashing, Xiao Ning slowly lifted her head. Her face was smeared with tears mixed with cold sweat, looking utterly miserable.

She mumbled, "Sister Qin, but I want to win. Tell me what I should do."

Qin Zhao wiped Xiao Ning's tears and said, "Xiao Ning, if you really want to beat Ye Jianxiong, you have to be prepared to be pushed into desperate straits and lose everything. The moment you try to leave yourself a way out, you're destined to lose this match! Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Ning leaned on her forehead in thought for a long time before resolutely saying, "I know what to do now, Sister Qin. I believe in you."

Qin Zhao corrected her: "No, you have to believe in yourself. The only person in the world who will never betray you is yourself."

It was as if Xiao Ning had shattered pottery for sunken ships when she nodded: "Okay. If I survive tonight, from now on I will serve you as I would my own sister."

Qin Zhao neither agreed nor disagreed. After all, she had no shortage of sisters.

Xiao Ning called over Zhuang Sister and whispered something in her ear.

Zhuang Sister left to carry out her instructions.

Seeing the two make progress, Ye Jianxiong asked, "Shall we continue?"

Qin Zhao replied, "Of course. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand my next move."

Ye Jianxiong snorted disdainfully, "Every loser has fantasized about their own victory before. We shall see!"𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒
