“Si…” The spectators all sucked in a breath of cold air. Some people’s gazes towards Su Ruoxi had changed, but most of them still felt that Su Ruoxi was mentally ill.
“Since you’ve agreed, then I’ll challenge you. If Madam wins, then this gambling den would be yours. However, if Madam loses, the lives of the three of you would be mine.” A murderous intent flashed across Lan Zeyu’s eyes.
Su Ruoxi was nonchalant towards the murderous intent in his eyes. In this world, there were only things she wanted or not wanted, and never things that she could not get.
“Okay, how would Owner Lan like to bet?” Su Ruoxi laughed.
No matter what he said, the other party still had a light smile on her face which made Lan Zeyu’s face become slightly distorted. This feeling was as if he punched cotton.
This made his blood boil, but he could not release his anger anywhere, causing him to feel terrible.
However, he was very confident about his gambling skills. If he lacked in them, he would not be able to be in charge of Heavenly Phoenix Gambling Den for so many years.
“Madam, how would you like to bet?” Lan Zeyu asked with a darkened face.
“‘The guest will follow the owner’s will. In case you won’t be convinced when you lose,” said Su Ruoxi directly.
“Damn it, I think you’re seeking for death. How dare you mock our Master? I’ll kill…”
“Don’t you dare be fierce to my mother!” Baby glared at the man talking with her big eyes in dissatisfaction.
At that moment, the other party’s mouth was left agape but he could not make any sound.
The crowd looked at the guards beside Lan Zeyu in confusion. They saw his face filled with anger and his mouth was opening and closing, as if he was saying something, but no sound came out of it at all.
“What did you do?” Lan Zeyu only discovered Baby then and asked. He was certain that his subordinate was poisoned. If not, this would not have happened.
“Hmph, his words were too rude. He should just shut his mouth temporarily,” said Baby casually.
“Madam, what is this supposed to mean?” Lan Zeyu could not be calculative with a child, so he turned to ask Su Ruoxi instead.
It was now then he realized that the pair of mother and daughter did not look normal at all. However, it was impossible for him to retreat in front of so many people.
“What is this supposed to mean? Did Baby say the wrong things? If I recall correctly, this should be a gambling den, right? Then, is it right for him to scold as and when he wished here? Does Heavenly Phoenix Gambling Den have this as a sideline business?” Su Ruoxi looked at Lan Zeyu sarcastically and asked.
Upon hearing that, Lan Zeyu was taken aback. It was obvious that the other party was being unreasonable, but he could not say anything to counter her. What could he say? The person who opened his mouth and scolded them was his own man. Was he supposed to say that scolding people randomly was correct? He turned back and glared at the people around him. “All of you keep your mouths shut!”
The spectators were secretly in awe of Su Ruoxi’s speaking abilities. It was clear that she had poisoned him, but she was still able to justify it with so much logic. She was incredible.
“Can we begin?” Su Ruoxi asked in her good mood.
“Of course. Since we’re gambling, we should follow the rules. I think it’s better if we write an IOU.” Lan Zeyu said coldly.
“Of course. I was still worried that Owner Lan would not be able to take out the deed to this gambling den after you lose.” Su Ruoxi laughed.
“Somebody come over!”
After Lan Zeyu finished his sentence, someone passed him a gambling contract that the gambling den specifically used. On the contract, the rules were already written very clearly. Both parties just had to write down the name of their wager, followed by their thumbprint and sign their names.
Su Ruoxi directly wrote Su Su, Mo Lian, and Baby Su’s names, before signing and pressing her thumbprint onto the paper, without any hesitation. This made the crowd watch curiously.
They did not know if this woman really had the capabilities or her brain was damaged and she did not want to live anymore.
Watching Su Ruoxi’s actions, Lan Zeyu’s eyes wavered. However, when he thought that she was just a mere woman, he wondered how capable she could get even if she knew how to gamble. What happened previously was just a coincidence…
“It’s now your turn, Owner Lan. Don’t tell me that you were just joking. If you don’t have the authority to decide who this gambling den goes to, then hurry on and get your Master here.” Su Ruoxi said accusingly.
“Hmph, Madam, you don’t have to worry about that.” After he finished his sentence, Lan Zeyu also signed and pressed his thumbprint on the gambling contract. Then, he took out the deed to Heavenly Phoenix Gambling Den from the ring on his finger.
After seeing it, Su Ruoxi nodded in satisfaction. Initially, she was thinking if this person could not make the decisions, then she would not want to waste her time and play with him.
Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Lan Zeyu looked at Su Ruoxi and said, “since we’re all prepared, let’s do a best of three to decide the winner. Madam, you’re the guest and you’re gambling with your life. I can let you call your bet first.”
“Actually, I’m fine with anything, but I don’t want people to spread rumors. Also, I believe that Owner Lan would not cheat when you’re gambling with a woman, so I’ll trouble you to start first. Let’s get on with it.” Su Ruoxi said while pushing the responsibility to him.
“Okay, since you insist, I’ll respect your decision.” After Lan Zeyu finished his sentence, he slammed the table and the dice flew into his hand.
This time, he was no longer shaking casually like before. The dice in his hands was as if demonic, as he shook them furiously, and one could not even hear the sound clearly.
The spectators held their breaths as they watched Lan Zeyu. A few experienced gamblers sighed. “Owner Lan is indeed Heavenly Phoenix’s Gambling God. How is she going to guess if it’s big or small?”
“Exactly. It seems like this mother and daughter pair is going to lose. She’s so young, but she’s learning the wrong things. Why would she come here to gamble?”
Su Ruoxi ignored the whispers of the crowd and did not look at Lan Zeyu closely. She just continued playing with Baby’s hair calmly.
“Mother, stop playing around. We’re betting with our lives.” Baby said intently.
“Mm, I know.” Su Ruoxi laughed.
“Then why are you not looking carefully? What if you guess wrongly?” Baby said, but her face was filled with excitement and void of nervousness or worries.
“Okay, I’ll look.” Su Ruoxi said before she turned to look at Lan Zeyu, who was shaking the dice cup with all his might.
Upon seeing this situation, Lan Zeyu’s lips started twitching. If her daughter did not say anything about it, would she not look at him? Since when did he lose all of his charisma?
However, he only wanted to end this bet as soon as possible. If this carried on and Master found out that he was gambling with a woman, and had even betted the gambling den, he would definitely be severely dealt with.
When he thought of this, Lan Zeyu’s hands became even faster, and it made people’s eyes blur as they could not see what was going on.
Piak! The dice cup landed on the table.
“Madam, go ahead,” said Lan Zeyu confidently.
“Mm, then I’ll continue guessing small.” Su Ruoxi thought for a while, before picking up a chip and putting it on the ‘small’ position.
Upon hearing this, something flashed in Lan Zeyu’s eyes. He asked, “Madam, are you sure?”
“Yes, it’s small.” Su Ruoxi said. “Then, Madam, keep your eyes wide open.” Lan Zeyu said as he directly opened the dice cup. When he counted the numbers on the dice, he was immediately stunned.
