Chapter 164: 164 God of Gamblers

Seeing Jiang Chen, Li Shuru quickly stood up to greet him, her face blossoming with a smile that hadn’t appeared from the time she left the school gates until now.

"You’re here," she said.

Jiang Chen nodded his head.

Sun Xiyu saw this, kept his cool, didn’t put on any airs, and even took the initiative to greet Jiang Chen with a smile.

"Hello, I’m Shu Rui’s friend, Sun Xiyu."

Jiang Chen looked at him, reacted just as quickly, with no hint of stiffness, and gave a very naturally enthusiastic smile.

"Sun Shao, I’ve long admired your reputation."

Zheng Jingjing’s mouth twitched as she watched Jiang Chen ingratiating himself, and she curled her lip.

Okay then.

She hadn’t been thinking about anything just now herself.

Sun Xiyu, on the other hand, showed no arrogance or overbearing behavior and didn’t display a hint of entitlement or hostility. It was like friends meeting, as he smiled and asked, "They’re playing Texas Hold’em, do you want to join in?"

Jiang Chen, unsurprisingly, shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"I don’t know how."

You don’t know how?

I bet you just don’t have the money.

Zheng Jingjing muttered to herself.

Fortunately, she knew her place and just thought it to herself, without saying it out loud to embarrass Jiang Chen.

She and Jiang Chen, that was a personal conflict. No matter what, they were alumni, and in front of outsiders, they needed to stick together. When it came down to the big picture, Zheng Jingjing knew where to draw the line.

"Then what do you know, Jiang Shao?"

What did Sun Xiyu call Jiang Chen?

Jiang Shao?

Guo Ran’s pupils dilated slightly, wondering if she had heard wrong.

Even if Sun Xiyu came from a wealthy family and was well-cultured, this seemed overly polite, right?

Zheng Jingjing, preoccupied with her thoughts, didn’t notice the subtlety in Sun Xiyu’s address,

and Jiang Chen seemed not to notice either as he glanced at the lively gambling table.

"I only watched Chow Yun-fat’s ’God of Gamblers’ as a kid in the movies."

"Are you talking about Show Hand?"

Sun Xiyu chuckled, "Perfect, I also find Show Hand more interesting than Texas Hold’em."

Look at how he talks.

He wasn’t giving Jiang Chen a chance to refuse.

Immediately after, Sun Xiyu turned and walked toward the gambling table.

"Anyone want to play Show Hand?"

At that moment,

Xu Siyi, who had already lost nearly two hundred thousand, didn’t want to play anymore, quickly left the table, her interest in gambling crushed by harsh reality.

Thankfully, it wasn’t her money.

"I will."

"Count me in."

This group of wealthy young men had noticed Jiang Chen, but instead of showing off their bravado all at once, they just looked at him with amusement in their eyes, though not without a hint of malevolence.

"Do you know how to play Show Hand?"

Li Shuru asked.

"I understand the rules, but I’ve never played."

Jiang Chen admitted frankly.

As a proper, earnest student in the past, how could he have engaged in gambling? However, having seen a series of gambling films many times, he was naturally familiar with the card games they portrayed, but he had zero practical experience.

"And you still agreed to play?"

Even Guo Ran, who was usually reticent, couldn’t help but stare incredulously,

Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile.

"Where did I agree? I think I only mentioned that I’ve seen ’God of Gamblers.’"

"Then do you have money?"

Zheng Jingjing was still as direct as ever.

It didn’t matter if your skills were lacking as long as you had money to lose. It was just like how Si Yi had stepped in to play for someone earlier.

The real fear was being both unskilled and broke.

If this were a real casino and you lost without the money to pay, that could get your hands or feet chopped off.

Even though it’s not the end of the world, it’s still very embarrassing!

"Hurry up and say you don’t want to play."

Zheng Jingjing urged, although being nervous is a bit embarrassing, it’s better than losing later and not having the money to pay.

"It’s okay, I still have four hundred thousand."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, seemingly suffering from the same problem that plagues most men: preferring to save face rather than avoid suffering.

"Where did you get four hundred thousand?"

Zheng Jingjing was astonished.

"You forgot? That Vacheron Constantin watch..." Guo Ran reminded.

Zheng Jingjing suddenly realized, and then angrily said, "That’s Shu Rui’s money! You are going to gamble with Shu Rui’s money?"

"It’s fine."

Li Shuru turned her head to look at Jiang Chen, seemingly without a worry and smiled brightly.

"Make sure to win."

The furious Zheng Jingjing suddenly paused, unable to take her eyes off her.

She had never seen Shu Rui acting so demurely.

Sun Xiyu had already put together a group of people. Like Texas Hold’em, Show Hand can be played by two to a dozen people, but to avoid chaos, Sun Xiyu only organized five players.

Of course.

This time, he personally joined the game.

With no retreat, a certain Mr. Jiang who was forced into a corner had to walk over to the table.

"Good luck."

Xu Siyi softly cheered him on as she passed by him, her eyes brimming with allure.

Show Hand, also known as Crabs, is decided by the arrangement of five cards, their numbers, and the suits’ ranks.

To start, each gambler is dealt one hole card; this card is kept secret. After the second card is dealt, the player with the highest card face decides the bet, and the others can choose to "call," "raise," or "fold."

After all five cards have been dealt, players reveal all their hole cards to compare. The game is simple, intense, and while it’s a clash of luck, it also challenges players’ skills. This method of gambling is widely popular and can be considered the most favored poker game among audiences.

Sun Xiyu asked a waiter to bring over a new deck of playing cards.

"Shu Rui, why don’t you deal the cards?"

Li Shuru was startled.

"Sure, let the sister-in-law deal."

One of the gamblers, a rich kid with ear studs who was laughing, nodded in agreement. This guy, named Zhong Yongfeng, was in the transportation business, and during the previous Texas Hold’em game, he won the most.

Jiang Chen, as if nothing was out of the ordinary and as if he hadn’t heard that deliberately used nickname, sat down on a chair.

Seeing him act so sheepishly, the smiles on the other players’ faces grew even more brazen.

Those not participating in the gambling voluntarily stood up and gathered around.

Although she didn’t gamble, Li Shuru naturally knew how to deal cards.

She didn’t reject the offer and took the deck of cards that Sun Xiyu passed to her, tearing off the plastic packaging.

"A little gambling is entertaining. So, each person starts with five hundred thousand. If that’s not enough to satisfy, we can add more later. What does everyone think?"

Sun Xiyu inquired.

"Sure."

"I have no objections."

"OK!"

Jiang Chen nodded as well.

Everyone was given five hundred thousand, still using chips like they had for Texas Hold’em, where each chip was worth ten thousand.

"Let’s start."

Sun Xiyu nodded at Li Shuru.

A beauty is still a beauty. Although her technique isn’t as professional as a croupier’s, her simple and unadorned motions were still pleasing to the eye. After shuffling the cards, Li Shuru even bent over to spread the cards in a fan shape on the table.

This act garnered many admiring glances from the young masters.

"How is Shu Rui so good at this..."

"Never eaten pork before, but you’ve seen a pig run, haven’t you?"

Guo Ran said softly, "Even I know that."

This time, they weren’t just watching from the sidelines; they were tensely crowded around the gambling table, all standing behind Jiang Chen.

A poor boy with nothing to his name was now seated at a table filled with rich second-generation players—that scene seemed so out of place.

Yet the key thing was, Jiang Chen himself appeared very calm, and no one knew where he got a piece of chewing gum from, casually putting it into his mouth.

If it had been chocolate instead, it certainly would have been even more in the style of a gambling god.
