Chapter 844: Chapter 841: Just a Fool with Too Much Money

This move used to be almost infallible in the past, but Gu Tingyun was unmoved, still gazing tenderly at his little lover.

He Junlin stood by, his words laced with a teasing smile, "Horse racing is all about the thrill of the beat. If everyone bets on the favorites, there’s no surprise to it. What’s the fun in that?"

Having known countless women, he was well aware that Bai Jingjing was a calculating woman.

"Number five, bet one hundred thousand." Gu Tingyun was even more decisive as he took out his card to bet.

Everyone was surprised, whispering among themselves.

"Young Master Gu is really willing to throw away a fortune just for a smile from his beauty!"

"It’s a pity, though. That money’s as good as gone."

"Isn’t that the truth!"

...

The women were both envious and jealous. After all, a hundred thousand isn’t a lot but isn’t a little either, and anyone present could afford it.

But knowing that it’s like throwing a meatbun to a dog—gone forever—just for a laugh, not everyone is willing to do that.

Bai Jingjing made her presence known, "Young Master Gu, think it over. Though number five isn’t bad, six and seven are also good. They’re the hot favorites to win. Why waste the money?"

"What’s the fun in betting on all the favorites? It’s the unexpected that’s exciting. I’ll also go with number five, twenty thousand!" Bai Weiyin chimed in, placing a bet to support Xiaobai.

After all, it’s just twenty thousand. If it’s lost, it’s lost.

There’s no way she could let anyone look down on Qiaoqiao!

The betting pool suddenly grew by an additional one hundred and twenty thousand in prize money.

The person who picked the winning horse would not only get the racetrack’s odds but would also share the pool prize money.

The others immediately got more excited, eagerly placing bets on other horses, each hoping to win the money, and the odds increased accordingly.

He Junlin also made a small bet just for fun.

The lowest level of the stands was already full, bustling with excitement.

It was almost time for the race to start.

Bang!

The starting gunshot rang out, and the jockeys rode their horses darting out from the starting line.

Everyone started cheering for the horses they had bet on.

"Number one! Go! Run faster!"

"Number ten! Get ahead, overtake them!"

"Number eight! I put all my fortune on you, put some energy into it!"

...

Number five was a bit slow to react, falling behind from the start.

The bystanders had various expressions, all looking like they had expected it. After all, number five was going to retire in two years; despite the presence of many strong and healthy horses, they had chosen an old horse.

A few wealthy individuals who had a bias against mainlanders began to make snide remarks, "Young Master Gu is really generous, coming all the way from the mainland just to give us money. You can’t even stop him if you tried!"

After saying that, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with mockery.

They couldn’t help feeling schadenfreude, thinking that mainlanders were fools with too much money!

Having gained all this money rather easily, of course, they felt happy about it.

"A hundred thousand is just for a bit of fun," He Junlin said, standing by Gu Tingyun’s side.

Some women also made sour comments, "Miss Chen really does whatever she pleases, it’s different when someone dotes on you."

The insinuation in their words was clear—she was arrogant because of the favor she enjoyed.

The onlookers were all too happy to watch the drama unfold.

Helian Qiao didn’t care about what they were saying, because Little Princess just did whatever she wanted; whatever she felt like doing, she would do.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tingyun responded, "As long as Guibao is happy, no amount of money is too much to spend."

Displaying his wealth with such breeziness made everyone else sour!

The race commentator kept on with the narration, "Now, number nine is in the lead, with numbers eight and seven closely behind. Only two laps to go, who will be today’s champion? Number nine is the hot favorite and is living up to expectations by keeping a strong lead. However, the former champion, number five—wait, what’s happening?"
