<h4>Chapter 785: Chapter 0787: Keep Your Distance</h4>


    Lin Zhao had barely finished speaking when Lin Dong, without waiting for Chu Ge to respond, raised his hand and thumped Lin Zhao’s body violently.


    "Are you stupid? How could she possibly be Mr. Chu’s fiancée? That’s not even legally allowed."


    Lin Dong spoke earnestly, as if he really understood the situation well.


    Lin Zhao red at him irritably, "You say what you want, but why resort to hitting!"


    It was so embarrassing with so many people watching, especially here on his own turf. Moreover, many of his brothers hade to the Gambling Stone Field today.


    Lin Dong saw through Lin Zhao’s thoughts. He looked at him with contempt, tutting, "Those fair-weather friends of yours? Forget it, they’re only cozying up to you because you’re doing well now. Think back to when you were jailed; how many of them came out to help you?"


    Lin Zhao fell silent because what Lin Dong said was true. When he was jailed, none of these people were willing to help him.


    But now things were different. Although Lin Dong had beening to the Gambling Stone Field longer than him, luckily, Lin Zhao had made some notoriety in this area. Although it was an infamous reputation, at least it had some deterrent power. Therefore, he was now in charge of most of the security issues at the Gambling Stone Field.


    Moreover, the Gambling Stone Field was backed by the Nangong Family, and everyone reckoned that Lin Zhao had risen to prosperity, so they wanted to butter him up. Lin Zhao was well aware of all this.


    But visitors were guests, after all. Since they hade, he, as an employee of the Gambling Stone Field, couldn’t just shoo them away, could he?


    Lin Zhao sighed softly, feeling quite helpless.


    Meanwhile, Ouyang Die was busy and very amused. Maybe because she was beautiful, Ouyang Die found this new experience fascinating. Initially, since she didn’t understand, she could only stand curiously to the side and watch.


    But her presence intensified the gamblers’ desire to show off.


    They rolled up their sleeves, even their voices growing louder, as if only by doing so could they appear moremanding.


    Despite their efforts to impress Ouyang Die, her attention had already been captured by the stones. She reached out curiously to touch one when suddenly, someone grabbed her hand.


    "You’re a novice, aren’t you?"


    The man was dressed in a ck suit and looked refined with gold-rimmed sses, though his eyes gleamed with greed.


    Ouyang Die, annoyed at having her arm grabbed, stared coldly at the man and demanded, "Let go."


    The manplied without further words, releasing her hand and exining, "Touching the stones with your hands is really frowned upon here. Be careful next time, miss."


    Ouyang Die then realized she had misunderstood the man. She thought he was a rogue at first.


    Embarrassed, Ouyang Die coughed lightly and shed an apologetic smile, "Sorry about that, it’s my first time gambling, I’m not familiar with the rules."


    The corners of the man’s lips curved imperceptibly. He nodded slightly, "It seems like you don’t frequent ces like this. Are you here apanying a friend?"


    If one wants to woo ady, one needs to understand her thoroughly. After all, if the woman is already taken, all his efforts would be in vain.


    The man harbored beautiful thoughts, but soon, Ouyang Die dashed his hopes.


    "Yes, I came here with a friend."


    To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ouyang Die merely told him she was with a friend and didn’t n to reveal that this ’friend’ was actually the owner of the Gambling Stone Field, Chu Ge.


    A hint of disappointment shed in the man’s eyes. It was rare to see such a beautiful woman at the Gambling Stone Field, especially since she was also here with a friend.


    The man couldn’t help feeling a bit reluctant, "Is he your boyfriend?"


    Ouyang Die smiled, a hint of coyness in her smile. She shook her head gently, "No."


    She would indeed like to be Mr. Chu’s girlfriend; sadly, he already had a girlfriend. No, wait, a fiancée.


    The man instantly caught the fleeting look of dejection in Ouyang Die’s eyes. In a brief moment, he made his decision.


    Clearly, Ouyang Die was interested in someone who didn’t reciprocate her feelings. To him, people with unrequited love were easy to woo.


    Because these people have limits to their affection and dedication, if they don’t receive a response for a long time, they feel very disappointed.


    And that’s exactly when they need someone caring and warm beside them. If such a man appears at the right time, they are likely to win their love.


    The man’s thinking was beautiful, but he didn’t understand the person before him, Ouyang Die.


    Although Ouyang Die had feelings for Chu Ge, it was mainly admiration for his capabilities. As the heiress of the Ouyang family, she had her own pride.


    She wouldn’t do as the man imagined.


    Of course, Ouyang Die had no idea what the man was thinking at the moment. After answering his question, she resumed her curious observation of others gambling on stones.


    The man didn’t n to leave, but instead stood there, exining to Ouyang Die, "There’s a technique to gambling on stones. Don’t judge by the ugly exteriors of these stones; you never know what beautiful jade might be inside."


    Ouyang Die thoughtfully nodded. There were gambling stone venues in Shanghai, and although she often visited, she never really participated in gambling.


    Before she met Chu Ge, she had seen this activity as bad behavior. But now Chu Ge had opened a Gambling Stone Field, and she felt a sudden impulse to try it.


    Seeing Ouyang Die’s interest, the man suggested progressively, "If the miss is interested, we could set up a separate table for a game."


    Ouyang Die wasn’t familiar with the rules inside the Gambling Stone Field. She looked around; although the space wasn’t small, there were only a few tables. Where could they find an extra one?


    The man also noticed Ouyang Die’s concern, but to be able to be with a beauty, these difficulties were not really difficulties.


    "If the miss really wants to gamble, I could take you to another Gambling Stone Field, which is a bitrger."


    Ouyang Die smiled and waved her hand, "No need, I’ll just watch from here."


    Ouyang Die was notcking in suitors and could sense this man’s interest, so she deliberately maintained a distance, nning to move to another table instead.
