Chapter 926: No Problem, I’ll Follow You
“Of course.” Xiao Ruilang smiled. “Do you dare follow?”
“No problem. I’ll follow,” Young Master Huo said calmly with a straight face.
Xiao Ruilang smiled and said, “Does that mean you can fork out one billion yuan? I didn’t know the Huo family was so rich.”
Everyone else was confused after hearing his words.
Xiao Ruilang would take out a billion yuan if he gritted his teeth. Although it would hurt, it wouldn’t hurt him, but the Huo family was just an ordinary rich family. It wasn’t that they couldn’t fork out a billion yuan, but they would definitely empty their pockets. This young master of the Huo family wouldn’t have done such a reckless thing in the past.
“Do you want to think about it, Young Master Huo?” Young Master Cheng advised.
The others also urged Young Master Huo to calm down.
However, Young Master Huo turned a deaf ear to it and said, “How can I back down when Mr. Xiao is willing to do me the favor?”
Xiao Ruilang chuckled and said, “Young Master Huo surprised me.”
Ye Shengge’s heart sank when she heard that.
Xiao Ruilang was doing it on purpose. He was testing the man opposite him, and he was starting to suspect Young Master Huo’s identity!
If it were the real Young Master Huo, he wouldn’t have bet so recklessly. However, to Ji Shiting, a billion yuan was just a drop in the ocean.
That man was unexpectedly cunning.
However, Young Master Huo was still calm. He smiled and said, “I’m just very confident in my skills. Let’s begin, Mr. Xiao. You decide what to play.”
The others, Young Master Huo, insisted and gave up trying to persuade him. Instead, they started to look forward to the bet.
“Let’s play blackjack then.” Xiao Ruilang smiled. “How about that?”
“No problem.” Young Master Huo raised an eyebrow. “Who’s going to be the dealer?”
“Why don’t…” Xiao Ruilang looked at the woman beside him and smiled. “Let Meimei do it.”
Ye Shengge took a deep breath and looked at the man opposite her. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
…
Two minutes later, Xiao Ruilang and Young Master Huo sat at both ends of the gambling table, and the others sat around them, trying to guess which side would win.
Ye Shengge stood at the dealer’s seat, holding a poker card.
The rule of blackjack was very simple. The dealer would deal each person an open card and a secret card. The numbers of the cards should add up to no more than 21 points in total, and the person whose cards add up to the highest number would be the winner. J, Q, and K would all be considered 10 points. The ace card could be considered 11 points or 1 point, and 2 to 10 points would be determined according to the number on the card. If the two cards added up to 21 points, it would be a sure win.
“Then, I’ll start shuffling the cards,” Ye Shengge said, her heart beating fast.
“Come on, Meimei. You’ll bring me luck, right?” Xiao Ruilang suddenly said to her.
Ye Shengge forced a smile and said, “Of course.”
However, she prayed that Young Master Huo, whom she suspected was Ji Shiting, would get lucky.
She didn’t dare make eye contact with the man in front of everyone, but she could feel the man’s gaze being fixed on her.
Ye Shengge calmed herself down and started to shuffle the cards. She rarely played cards, so her shuffling was a bit clumsy. The people at the huge gambling table could only hear her shuffling, but no one urged her.
Soon, she was done shuffling the cards and took a deep breath. “I’m going to start dealing the cards now.”
They both nodded.
