<strong>Chapter 1219: Chapter 1231</strong>
Wei Xiang looked at Chu Ge with a stern gaze, lightly pursing his lips, and said, “It seems I’ve underestimated this Mr. Chu. He must have something extraordinary, or else Miss Man Sha wouldn’t favor him.”
Chu Ge curled his lips slightly, “It’s just a matter of fate.”
He felt Nangong Man Sha’s soft touch on his arm, a tingling sensation on the surface of his skin.
He discreetly twitched his arm, but Nangong Man Sha held on tighter.
Nangong Man Sha sensed Chu Ge’s intentions. She looked at him and lowered her voice, saying, “Mr. Chu, if we’re going to act, we have to keep it up. How could I bear it if you suddenly pull your hand away?”
Nangong Man Sha said this while ncing at Chu Ge, appearing to outsiders as if the two were flirting.
Wei Xiang’s face was extremely displeased, and he stared at Chu Ge, asking, “Mr. Chu, I really want to see what makes you extraordinary. Please, Mr. Chu.”
Chu Ge nodded slightly, affirming what he said.
Because Wei Xiang spoke loudly, everyone around heard it, understanding that Wei Xiang was interested in Nangong Man Sha, but now there was an extra Chu Ge, promising an interesting show.
Everyone followed Wei Xiang and Chu Ge to the gambling stone field area. This gambling stone field wasn’t a temporary event but a specialty of their hotel. To gamble here, one must dine or stay at their hotel; only hotel guests have the opportunity to gamble here.
Of course, attendees of the banquet also have the privilege to y in the gambling stone field area, though they must bear the costs themselves.
The entertainment for the upper-ss is about fun and thrill; they don’t have a special concern for money. Setting up a gambling stone field here naturally makes for booming business.
Chu Ge only just found out that a gambling stone field was set up here, with facilities far more refined than his own, every piece of furniture exuding luxury.
Nangong Man Sha was a regr here before, and as she walked in, the person in charge of the gambling stone field greeted her.
“Miss Man Sha, it’s been a while since youst came.” The person in charge was a middle-aged man of about fifty, wearing a Tang costume, looking kind and amiable. Despite his calm appearance, he had quite a criminal history in his youth, even having spent time in jail.
Nangong Man Sha smiled at him and said, “Boss Wang, even after a few days, you’re still as impressive.”
Boss Wang chuckled twice, looking curiously at Chu Ge and asked, “Miss Man Sha, who is this gentleman?”
Seeing Nangong Man Sha holding Chu Ge’s arm with a floral smile, he suddenly understood andughed heartily, “I was wondering why Miss Man Sha suddenly stoppeding. Turns out she’s been in love!”
His eyes sized up Chu Ge, nodding approvingly, “Not bad, not bad. The person chosen by Miss Man Sha is indeed a fine gentleman. Young man, you’re lucky to have caught Miss Man Sha’s eye, which shows you’re quite capable, as everyone knows Miss Man Sha has high standards.”
Chu Ge chuckled, “You’re too kind, Boss.”
Boss Wang looked at Chu Ge, feeling he was somewhat familiar, but didn’t think deeply. Just then, Wei Xiang strode over and said to Chu Ge irritably, “What, afraid topete?”
Boss Wang looked at them, puzzled, “Mr. Wei, what’s wrong? Who’s upset you, that you’re so angry?”
Wei Xiang red at Boss Wang and scolded, “Why do you care so much? Quickly arrange it, I want to properly y a few rounds with Miss Man Sha’s new boyfriend.”
The air was thick with tension, spreading around them. Boss Wang sized them up, seeming to grasp something.
Wei Xiang had previously openly courted Miss Man Sha in the gambling stone field; the spectacle was grand but the oue wasn’t ideal, causing quite a stir and bing gossip in the upper-ss for a while.
If Miss Man Sha does have a boyfriend now, and he isn’t particrly impressive looking, Wei Xiang would certainly feel unwilling, but it’s not just him; many others feel the same but don’t express it.
Wei Xiang is an expert in the gambling stone field, hardly anyone can beat him. Many are happy to see Wei Xiang stand in to teach Chu Ge a lesson.
Manager Wang didn’t ask much, turned to order preparations.
This is no ordinary gamble; the opponent is the eldest son of the Wei Family of the Six Major Families, also the future heir of the Wei Family. The other is the future son-inw of the Nangong Family, another major family, and regardless of whether he bes the son-inw, he’s not someone to be taken lightly.
Moreover, Miss Man Sha is present, how could he dare to disregard Chu Ge.
Preparation took some time, and amidst preparations, bets were already starting. Most bets were naturally ced on Wei Xiang, though some were on Chu Ge. Those betting on Chu Ge included Nangong Man Sha and Yuwen Kangli.
Chu Ge looked at Yuwen Kangli with surprise, curious as to why he’d have such faith in him.
Actually, it’s not that he has confidence in Chu Ge, but he was once defeated by Chu Ge before, knowing he possesses some skills. More importantly, he absolutely wouldn’t bet on Wei Xiang, leaving him no choice but to silently hope Chu Ge doesn’t mess up at the crucial moment.
Nangong Man Sha saw Yuwen Kangli’s resolute expression, jestingly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Chu won’t let you down.”
Yuwen Kangli pursed his lips, cleared his throat, and said, “This is my entire fortune, Mr. Chu, please don’t let me lose too badly.”
Since he was released, from various aspects the Old Master had urged him to be frugal, including his living expenses. Hispany position was suspended, cutting off extra ie sources, leaving him to rely on meager living expenses.
Now, he’s bet his entire month’s living expenses on Chu Ge. He doesn’t quite know what pushed him to do it, but seeing everyone betting stirred something within him,pelling him to join.
Nangong Man Sha looked at their meager bets and said somewhat helplessly, “Looks like we’ll be quite wealthy tonight, Young Master Yu Wen. If we win this big, you’ve gotta treat us to a meal!”
Yuwen Kangli was taken aback, then scratched his head with embarrassment, as it was the first time Miss Man Sha joked with him.
