<h4>Chapter 1043: Chapter 1037: You Lost</h4>


    Seeing Chen Hao’s inquiring look, Xue Man dryly said, "The chairman of Modu Bai Group is his wife. Do you think he has money or not?"


    "So you’re the lucky guy everyone’s been talking about in Modutely, Bai Zhiqing’s husband."


    Chen Hao widened his eyes at Lu Tianxing. Although the photos of Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were quickly removed from the inte, Chen Hao had still seen the news. After all, for someone dreaming of striking it rich overnight, the best way is to find a rich woman—it’s safe and not illegal, and Bai Zhiqing is a typical rich woman.


    "Yes, that’s me."


    Lu Tianxing rubbed his nose and said, "Since you know who I am, you should know I don’tck money. So, do you dare to gamble?"


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man’s face changed. She urgently said, "Lu Tianxing, you..."


    Before Xue Man could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted her, "Minister Xue, rest assured. I know what I’m doing. Just watch."


    Pausing, Lu Tianxing looked at Chen Hao and said, "Do you dare? If you beat me, I’ll give you a million."


    Upon hearing this, Chen Hao’s eyes lit up. He cautiously nced at Xue Man first, then said to Lu Tianxing, "You’re not lying to me?"


    "Do I need to lie to you?"


    "Fine, I’ll bet with you," Chen Hao said heavily, feeling confident that he would win.


    "Good, then let’s start."


    Lu Tianxing nced at Chen Hao, stood up directly, and removed his coat, revealing the white shirt underneath. He then rolled up his sleeves.


    "What are you doing?"


    Chen Hao was startled by Lu Tianxing’s actions.


    "I’m just letting you see if I have any cards hidden on me or in my hands."


    Chen Hao scoffed at Lu Tianxing’s words. Who did he think he was? Did he think he could switch cards like on TV?


    Ignoring Chen Hao’s attitude, Lu Tianxing took the cards Chen Hao had ced on the table, casually cut them twice, and put them back on the table.


    "Pick for yourself! Three-card brag, three cards, and reveal them after you look."


    Chen Hao nced at Lu Tianxing and reached out to pick a card, with Lu Tianxing following suit.


    "K."


    Chen Hao’s first card was a K, which was already one of the highest cards, second only to an A, in three-card brag.


    Lu Tianxing ignored Chen Hao, picked up his card, and ced it in front of him without bothering to look at it.


    Continue picking!


    When the second card was in hand, Chen Hao’s face showed a slight smile because it was another K. Now he had a pair of Ks, already a strong hand; this time, he was sure to win.


    "K, K..."


    As he picked the third card, Chen Hao was extremely tense, a low growl escaping his lips, his eyes showing a gambler’s unique craziness.


    Meanwhile, Xue Man was also extremely tense. She wasn’t a fool; Lu Tianxing intended to use this method to turn Chen Hao back from his path, so her heart was in her throat. What if Lu Tianxing lost? Would he really give a million for Chen Hao to gamble again?


    Lu Tianxing, however, kept a smile on his lips, as if he had never taken the bet to heart. He unhurriedly picked up the card and casually ced it in front of himself.


    "Hahaha, three Ks, I won, you lost."


    At that moment, Chen Hao suddenly shouted, mming his cards heavily on the table. His face was full of excitement and flush. He had won, finally turning his luck around this time. With this million, he could surely make aeback.


    "Lu Tianxing..."


    Xue Man’s face changed. She was about to speak but was stopped by Lu Tianxing’s gaze. Seeing that look, Xue Man was slightly stunned, feeling her tension suddenly disappear into thin air, reced by a calmness.


    "Do you think I lost?" Lu Tianxing asked calmly, looking at the excited, flushed Chen Hao.


    "Yes."


    Chen Hao replied excitedly, "This time you must have lost. I’ve got three Ks; the only way to beat me is with three As, but there’s no way you could have three As."


    "Is that so? Why don’t you pick up my cards and see what they are?" Lu Tianxing said indifferently.


    "Fine, I’ll look."


    Chen Hao sneered, thinking Lu Tianxing was just bluffing.


    As he spoke, Chen Hao picked up Lu Tianxing’s three cards and flipped them over. Three As, an almost impossible hand, appeared in Chen Hao’s eyes.


    "No...impossible, how could this be, how could this be, how could this be, I...I was clearly about to win."


    Chen Hao’s face suddenly lost all color as he staggered back. He had lost; he had the second-best hand in three-card brag, but he lost. How could this be?


    "No...impossible, you cheated, you must have cheated, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence," Chen Hao suddenly raised his head and shouted hysterically at Lu Tianxing.


    Lu Tianxing nced at the somewhat crazed Chen Hao, slowly lowered his sleeves, and then calmly put on his jacket, "You’re right, but so what? Do you know I cheated? Do you have evidence? The cards were yours; I just picked up the cards. Didn’t you say winning or losing is a matter of luck for you? Well, your luck arrived, but you still lost. Do you really think the TV shows on gambling addiction with card-switching videos are fake? Let me tell you, if I wanted, I could give you a big hand anytime. At the card table, if I want you to win, you win; if I want you to lose, you lose. You have no choice."


    "You..."


    "To be honest, I, Lu Tianxing, despise people like you who rely on women. You have no skills whatsoever and yet dream of overnight riches. Aren’t you quite proud? Don’t you care about your face? But do you deserve it? You’re just a gambler, a useless person. What face do you have? You have no money or power. Even in gambling, you rely on borrowing from your cousin. Don’t you have any shame?" Lu Tianxing sneered.


    Chen Hao, provoked by Lu Tianxing, retorted with his eyes red, shouting, "My dad saved my cousin’s entire family’s life..."


    "Shut up."


    Lu Tianxing abruptly interrupted Chen Hao, his voice suddenly cold, "Do you have the right to say that? Yes, your dad saved Xue Man’s entire family, but it wasn’t you. Your cousin has helped you enough. Losing tens of thousands in a day, unhappy, so you borrow from loan sharks—you think you’re a three-year-old child,mitting crimes without consequences? You’re an adult; you need to be responsible for your actions, understand?"


    "In my eyes, you’re just a waste, a piece of trash. No, you’re even worse than trash; you’re society’s garbage. If I were you, I’d have found a crooked tree to hang myself long ago. A top student of Beijing University, eventually expelled—if I were your father, I would have pped you to death the moment you were born. And you still have the nerve to constantly ask your cousin to bail you out. Do you have any face left? Garbage."
