Hi, my ass!

Faced with Ji Haoyu’s greeting, Jian Ai rolled her eyes in her heart and did not respond.

Moreover, she had already greeted him earlier on. She would never show him her kindness in the game.

Jian Ai’s expression was indifferent as usual, and she was about to continue betting.

Unexpectedly, Ji Haoyu looked at her and suddenly said, “Let’s not

‘kill each other,’

alright?”

Jian Ai froze and looked at Ji Haoyu. She suddenly laughed and said, “Mr. Ji, killing each other means hurting someone of our own. I think you have some misunderstanding about the definition of our relationship.”

They were not even friends, let alone family. They only knew each other. Furthermore, it was only Jian Ai who knew him unilaterally.

Jian Ai could guarantee that he could not even call out her name.

“Oh… you’re right.”

Faced with Jian Ai’s alienation and coldness, Ji Haoyu was not angry at all. The smile on his face remained. He looked at Jian Ai and raised his handsome eyebrows slightly. Then, he said, “If you insist on betting, why don’t we bet on something interesting?”

Jian Ai frowned and looked at Ji Haoyu curiously. “What is something interesting?”

Ji Haoyu naturally leaned back. He immediately looked at the one hundred and seventy million yuan worth of chips on the table and pursed his lips. “These chips would belong to the winner, and the winner could propose a condition to the other party. How about that?”

Hearing this, Jian Ai slowly retracted her hand from the chips. Her gaze landed on Ji Haoyu’s face as she asked, “Any condition?”

Ji Haoyu nodded and looked at Jian Ai with amusement in his eyes. “Don’t tell me you want my life?”

Jian Ai shook her head. She looked at Ji Haoyu and said calmly, “I want one of the Ji Group nightclubs.”

Ji Haoyu blinked. “Are you that sure that you will win?”

Jian Ai didn’t comment. She looked straight into Ji Haoyu’s eyes and said word by word, “You’re going to lose!”

The two of them suddenly started chatting, causing the others to be unable to help but reveal puzzled expressions. Everyone was waiting to see who would win in the end, but they never expected the two of them to speak one after another as if no one was present.

Fortunately, the conversation stopped there. Jian Ai looked at Ji Haoyu and said, “Show your cards!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s gazes turned to the cards in front of Ji Haoyu.

Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. If he didn’t remember wrongly, this girl’s family situation shouldn’t allow her to appear in such a place. Her action of throwing out tens of millions of yuan at once was even more abnormal. The silver-haired man standing behind her had an extraordinary temperament. One could tell with just a look that he was not an ordinary person. What was the relationship between the two of them?

Moreover, she did not ask for the condition if he won. It seemed that she was certain that she would win?

Although he did not know where this confidence came from, at that moment, Ji Haoyu already had a strong interest in Jian Ai.

He flipped over the first card. It was an ace of spades.

He turned the second card. An ace of hearts.

Everyone’s breathing stopped. The entire gambling table fell silent. Everyone looked at Ji Haoyu’s hand without blinking.

His long fingers flipped the last card again. It was a joker!

“Empress!”

At that moment, when they saw Ji Haoyu’s three cards clearly, someone could not help but exclaim!

When a joker appeared alone, it could be used as a universal card to replace any card. In other words, the last joker was the third ace. With three aces, it formed the largest combination of Empress!
