n“Send?”

nThe staff member nodded. “Yes. If you lose, then we’ll pay for the loss. But if you win, the money is yours.”

nLin Yueqi’s face stiffened and she refused, “Free food doesn’t fall from the sky! Old Lu, let’s go! Even though your grandfather is the richest man in the country, you can’t be so reckless with money. You’re already a father so you can’t be prodigal anymore.”

nWhile dragging Lu Ting outside, she just happened to bump into Zhuang BOshan who was walking over with Le Xiao.

nAfter hearing Lin Yueqi’s last words, Zhuang Boshan immediately interjected and said, “Lu Ting, we’re both dragons here among mountain chickens. As the saying goes, a dragon should be paired with a phoenix. How can you pair with a mountain chicken? Your families really aren’t well-matched. Just look, you come out here to play and to spend some pittance, but you still have to be controlled like this. I feel tired for you.’

n“…” Even though Lin Yueqi lost her memory, she still recognized the man in front of her.

nHe was her old boss, Zhuang Boshan.

nIn the beginning, this man terminated her contract ruthlessly for Qin Xue.

nShe fumed, “Who are you calling a mountain chicken? Just look at your face full of pockmarks and your big belly. What are you, a mountain pig?”

nZhuang Boshan frowned. “Oh, has Film Empress Lin grown a temper? Your temper is even hotter than before.”

nLin Yueqi snapped back at him. “Look at you, making fun of other people. On what basis? Because you’re rich? You’ll lose all that money sooner or later. I cherish every single penny that I earn, so what qualifications do you have to look down on me?”

n“Because I was born in a better position than you. Because I have more money than you.”

n“You—”

nLe Xiao was watching happily at the side. She didn’t expect a prodigal son like him would be able to snap so sharply at a person.

nBut before Lin Yueqi could finish speaking, she was pulled into Lu TIng’s arms. Looking as serious as usual, he said to Zhuang Boshan, “You’re good at provocation. I’ll disobey Miss Lin today and make a bet with you. Are you interested?”

n“Of course! If Mr. Lu wants to make a bet with me, then of course I’ll accompany you.”

nLucy who was standing by the side closed her folding fan, tapping it on her palm and smiling. “This way, please.”

nWhen they entered the room, Lin Yueqi frowned and tug on the man’s sleeve, whispering to him, “Old Lu, there’s no need to let our anger get the best of us. Why bicker with money? It wasn’t easy for Old Man Lu to make his family rich back then, so why be such spendthrifts as the youngsters?”

nLu Ting reached over and rubbed her hair. “We’re not being swayed by emotions when we have a backup plan.”

nAfter entering the room, the cards were laid out on the table. Both Lu Ting and Zhuang Boshan took to one end of the table.

nLin Yueqi had known Lu Ting for such a long time but still never seen him gamble. And in her impression, Lu Ting was the responsible type of rich second generation, not the type to gamble or play around with women. For a “good boy” like him, how can he beat an old veteran prodigal gambler like Zhuang Boshan?

nHer face was filled with worry. Lucy patted her shoulder and leaned over to whisper in her ear. “Don’t worry, Miss Lin. Guys like Zhuang Boshan are his favorites to gamble with.”

n“??” Lin Yueqi came to her senses and asked, “You know each other?”

n“Yes, we’re old acquaintances.” Lucy swung open her fan and gently fanned herself. From the waiter’s tray, she took two glasses of red wine and handed one to Lin Yueqi. “So no need to be so worried. Just watch. If he doesn’t squeeze some blood out of Zhuang Boshan tonight, then he won’t know that his original surname is actually bastard.”

n“…”

nBut if Lu Ting were to lose tonight, then wouldn’t he be the bastard?

nThen meanwhile, Tuantuan’s name will become… Bastard Jun Yi? If she marries out, then does she become…Madam Bastard?

nThat’s…scary.

nThe two of them were playing blackjack. Cards 2-9 are given the same points as the card’s number, while the royal cards are counted as 10 points. Aces can be used as either 1s or 11s. The number of points in their hand must not exceed 21, and any hands past that are considered “burst”. The player with exactly 21 points or the highest total is the winner.

nThe dealer deals the cards.
