Chapter 870: Chapter 868 The Viscountess’s Olive Branch

The Viscountess drew a queen of clubs.

The Chinese man played his cards.

The Viscountess was unwilling to give up and insisted on seeing it through to the end, "I’ll bet one million!"

"Sorry, madam, but right now the highest hand on the table is three aces, and it’s Miss Chen’s turn to bet," a staff member interjected.

The Viscountess could only retract her hand in embarrassment.

"All-in!" Helian Qiao announced boldly with a wave of her hand.

This little bit by little bit betting is so boring!

The crowd was instantly abuzz!

Bai Weiyin reminded aloud, "Qiaoqiao! Do you even know what all-in means?! That’s five million you’re talking about!"

Even with Charlie backing her, she hadn’t even glanced at her hole cards!

She looked over at Gu Tingyun, expecting him to say something to dissuade her, only to hear him reply indifferently, "Whatever Guibao likes."

This... this is too capricious!

Even Charlie, sitting nearby, placed his case on the table without a word of complaint.

On the contrary, he felt honored that the Princess spent his money!

Suddenly, the area was filled with onlookers.

The Viscountess was taken aback. She could fold and leave the game, but with so many people watching, leaving now would be like admitting she was scared off by her opponent!

Now she found herself in a difficult position to back down from!

"Madam, please place your bet or fold," the staff member reminded her once more.

The Viscountess hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Helian Qiao also hadn’t checked her hole cards, she thought that Qiao was just bluffing.

"I’ll call!"

The servant behind her placed a case on the table as well.

Suddenly, the pile of chips nearly stacked up to the height of a small mountain.

This was a whole ten million in chips.

The Viscountess flipped over her hole cards, three kings, one ace, and one queen.

Her gaze fixed intensely on Helian Qiao’s cards as her heart pounded like a drum.

The staff member stepped forward, turned over the card, and announced, "Miss Chen, three aces with a pair of jacks, a full house, the highest hand! Miss Chen wins!"

The Little Princess, however, expressed her disdain, "This is no fun at all, not even as enjoyable as playing mahjong!"

Two million spent on an auction diamond would at least get you a diamond.

But now, just after one game, she lost five million, and the Viscountess felt as if her heart was bleeding, yet she had to pretend not to care.

So as not to be looked down upon by others.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel relieved that Chen Jiao didn’t hold a grudge and insist on continuing to gamble with her.

She suddenly saw her in a new light!

With a genuinely warm smile, the Viscountess recommended some delicious pastries to Helian Qiao, "Miss Chen, the chefs on the cruise are famously skilled; I had the kitchen prepare some especially for you to try."

Of course, she took the initiative to be nice because Helian Qiao was of a higher status and not someone she could afford to provoke!

"Let’s try them!" Helian Qiao, with no resistance to tasty treats, nodded in agreement.

The Viscountess immediately instructed the kitchen, and soon an assortment of sweets were brought to the table.

Helian Qiao was not stingy and called out, "Weiyin, come join us and have a taste."

"Okay." Bai Weiyin wiped her hands with a napkin and sat down next to Helian Qiao to share the pastries.

Standing aside, the Viscountess had expected to be invited too, but after calling over Bai Weiyin, Helian Qiao didn’t mention her.

Not getting upset, the Viscountess turned away gracefully to attend to other guests.

By the time the cruise ship returned to port, it was the wee hours of the morning.

As she left the pier, Bai Weiyin paused and said softly, "Qiaoqiao, I’m going home. You should head back and rest too, and we can arrange to meet up again another time."
