A commotion broke out among the crowd as Meng Fan threw in his “ALL IN” card.
“Another hundred million dollars?”
“Oh my god! What’s up with these people tonight?”
“Does a hundred million dollars really mean nothing at all to them?”
“Or are they just too rich for this amount of money to matter?”
Even Jiang Hao could not stay quiet anymore. He turned to Meng Fan and warned him gravely, “You should take it easy, Meng Fan.”
Jiang Hao knew how much money Meng Fan’s family had.
A hundred million dollars was definitely more than everything Meng Fan had put together.
But Meng Fan brushed aside Jiang Hao’s warning in the adrenaline rush of the gamble. He had great cards in his hands. If he played too carefully now, he would lose out on an easy win and regret it later.
“I know the limits!” Meng Fan replied casually in response and quickly glanced at Jiang Bangyuan anxiously.
In his heart, Meng Fan greatly admired Jiang Bangyuan.
“If I win tonight, will Yuanyuan look at me then?”
Meng Fan wondered dreamily, fantasizing about the day he could be with Jiang Bangyuan.
Unfortunately for him, the only person Jiang Bangyuan had eyes for was Quan Rui.
She was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, lavished with abundant praise and indulgent love her whole life. From a young age, she was already made aware of the silver spoon she was born with and had long expected to receive and be endowed her current high status.
A respectable queen like her could only marry a king like Quan Rui!
Yet right now, the man who belonged to her had his arms wrapped around her wretched illegitimate sister’s waist!
“I will not overlook this!”
Jiang Bangyuan found she could soothe Jiang Hao and calm him down but she could not do the same as easily.
When a woman became jealous, nothing could stop her jealousy!
Jiang Bangyuan burned with envy at the intimacy Quan Rui and Bai Ran shared and glared at them fiercely.
“Brother, find a way to chase Bai Ran away,” Jiang Bangyuan said into Jiang Hao’s ear.
Jiang Hao felt cornered by this demand. “My dear sister, it’s almost the most crucial part of the gambling match now. Doing this now seems a little… Also, why are you saying this now when brother-in-law hugged Bai Ran earlier? You’ve already missed the opportunity!”
“It’s not too late yet!” Jiang Bangyuan felt increasingly incensed at the thought of letting Bai Ran get away with this.
But Jiang Hao did not dare to say anything that might offend Quan Rui. He wracked his brains for a solution, then waved his hand to beckon the attendant who was standing behind him and whispered a few things into his ear.
The attendant exited the room silently.
This small exchange between Jiang Hao and Jiang Bangyuan went unnoticed and did not affect the game.
Everyone was still reeling from the shock of Meng Fan matching Quan Rui’s bet of a hundred million dollars with his own.
Quan Rui had not anticipated that Meng Fan would be arrogant enough to mimic what he had done and bet a hundred million dollars as well.
“He’s probably going to lose all the money the Meng Family has like this.”
As this thought crossed Quan Rui’s mind, he felt remorseful.
“If I had known he would be like this, I would have just bet a few million dollars more instead. Putting the cards in my hand aside, Meng Fan does not even have the means to fulfill the bet!
“Perhaps…this is another opportunity for me to win.”
Bai Ran had been leaning against Quan Rui’s chest. She maintained this same straight posture for the entire duration of the game so far and her whole body was starting to stiffen.
As the game intensified, Bai Ran began to relax. Now, she subconsciously shifted her position.
But Bai Ran had forgotten she was sitting on Quan Rui’s thighs instead of a chair.
Her movement naturally affected Quan Rui in some way.
When Bai Ran pushed down with her right hand, she accidentally pressed the area below Quan Rui’s lower abdomen.
