Chapter 255: Chapter 275: If You Want to Bet, Bet Big _1

Chu Jiayi?

Lin Chen’s gaze was subtle, as she spoke Chu Jiaxue’s name and with the same Chu surname, her identity was already clear.

It was quite a coincidence to run into someone from the Chu family here.

Gu Yue Xi obviously thought of this as well. Due to her cousin Chu Jiaxue’s experience, she had no good feelings for the Chu family.

"Yes, you are from the Chu family, right?"

Chu Jiayi arrogantly smiled: "Yes, if we go by blood relationship, Chu Jiaxue should call me her sister, but she has already left the Chu family and has nothing to do with them, so it doesn’t matter, so you have even less to do with our Chu family."

Gu Yue Xi laughed in anger: "Who wants to have anything to do with you, don’t flatter yourself too much."

Seeing the two women clashing upon meeting, Bai Sheng was caught off guard and quickly tried to mediate: "Everyone knows each other, let’s play together."

Chu Jiayi had a good attitude towards Bai Sheng and laughed: "Sure, let’s go have fun with the game."

However, the problem arose, three groups of people had only reserved two lanes for bowling. After all, it was more fun to play together.

Gu Yue Xi held the bowling ball in her hand and said calmly, "We were in the middle of playing, why don’t Miss Chu add another lane?"

Adding another lane was a small matter, but the lanes next to them were all taken. If they added another lane, it would be further away, meaning that everyone would be playing separately.

Bai Sheng looked at Chu Jiayi with a side glance and laughed: "I’ll go add it."

Chu Jiayi glanced at Gu Yue Xi and suddenly smiled: "Aren’t you guys here to play together? It’s not good to play separately, why don’t we play together?"

Bai Sheng turned his head to look at Gu Yue Xi, sensing that Chu Jiayi and Gu Yue Xi didn’t get along, though he wasn’t sure why, he suddenly had an idea.

If Chu Jiayi and Gu Yue Xi had an issue, Lin Chen would naturally side with Gu Yue Xi, but wouldn’t that mean that Chu Jiaxue and Lin Chen would become enemies?

Although Lin Chen was indeed good at playing, was it useful against the Chu family?

The Chu family was one of Linhai’s wealthy families and a cultivator’s family; what use would Lin Chen’s skills be, if not like showing off one’s ability in front of an expert?

Gu Yue Xi tactfully refused: "We’re not very good yet, still learning."

Chu Jiayi sneered: "What, afraid of losing? Can’t afford to lose?"

Gu Yue Xi was instantly triggered. Knowing that the Chu family was not to be trifled with, she didn’t want to have any conflicts with them, but their aggressive attitude made her unable to restrain herself.

"Who can’t afford to lose? Come on!"

Chu Jiayi laughed: "There are two of you, and two of us, let’s play in one group."

Thinking of Lin Chen’s strong sense of the game, even though he was a beginner, he didn’t lose to anyone. Gu Yue Xi confidently said, "Let’s play."

Chu Jiayi laughed: "How about adding a bet? This way, it’s more exciting to play."

Gu Yue Xi showed no weakness: "What do you want to bet?"

Chu Jiayi laughed: "No need to bet big since it’s our first meeting. Let’s have a small bet, 1 million for tea money, how about it?"

million was not a small amount, and Gu Yue Xi could afford it, but losing would still sting a bit.

million was enough to buy a decent car or even a house outright in a second-tier city.

Ever since she opened a beauty salon outside, she hadn’t asked her family for money, and all her expenses came from her own earnings.

But she still wanted to bet.

She’d rather lose the money than be looked down upon by the Chu family. Their condescending attitude vexed her, and if she could win against them, it would help to vent some of her anger on behalf of her sister.

Lin Chen suddenly interjected with a smile: "We don’t like afternoon tea, so let’s not bet on tea money."

Chu Jiayi laughed: "Why, you can’t afford 1 million? Judging by your clothes, you seem to be wearing a brand new outfit, did you just buy it?"

Chu Jiayi turned her head to look at Gu Yue Xi: "Miss Gu, what does your boyfriend do for a living, that he can’t even come up with 1 million? Have your sister’s circumstances really fallen so low that you have to lower your standards for a boyfriend?"

Chu Jiayi was mocking Gu Yue Xi, but Gu Yue Xi didn’t get angry. Instead, she seemed to have touched on something interesting and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Him? He’s a security guard."

Chu Jiayi widened her eyes, feigning shock: "Come on, even though your Gu family has fallen on hard times, it’s not so bad, right? At least your sister still has a company. Does she not care about you guys?"

Gu Yue Xi smiled and replied: "Who asked me to like him, right, brother?"

Lin Chen looked at Gu Yue Xi’s smile and knew that she was once again making fun of his security guard job.

She enjoyed seeing others’ shocked expressions upon learning he was a security guard; it amused her as if she was watching the faces of all living beings.

Lin Chen ignored her and stared at Chu Jiayi, smiling: "Miss Chu, don’t be so anxious. I said I won’t bet on tea money, but I didn’t say I won’t bet our expenses before dinner, spending at the bar, or on BBQ. Well, I’m too lazy to do all the calculations, but let’s just play big, otherwise it won’t be exciting enough. How about we bet 20 million?"

Chu Jiayi opened her eyes wide and sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about, 20 million? Can you even afford it? You think just saying it can scare me?"

Lin Chen casually took out the card that Leng Ying had given him, which he had never used before: "There are 20 million in this card. Oh, no, there are only 19,500,000. Let’s bet 19,500,000, shall we?"
