The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1600: Chapter 642: Snow (2)

Out of shame and panic, Cui Juncai instinctively followed Cui Min’er for a few steps until Cheng Fengxian’s aloof voice came from the side:

”Brother Juncai, if you leave now, I will have to confiscate the chips you’ve bet... Also, did you forget something?”

With Cheng Fengxian’s reminder, Cui Juncai suddenly remembered that the round was about to reveal the cards. Feeling a lucky streak, he had just gone all-in with all his chips in front of him under the crowd’s encouragement.

That was a full eight million Korean Won (approximately 40,000 RMB)!

Cui Juncai hurriedly freed himself from Cui Min’er’s grip and, ignoring her obstruction, sat back at the gambling table.

”Min’er, just wait a bit, let me see this hand... it’s crucial!”

”Nine, nine, nine!”

The crowd yelled loudly again.

Because this round was identical to the last, the dealer revealed 8 points, and the first card of the player was 0 points, meaning Cui Juncai, who went all-in on the player, needed to pull a 9 to turn the game around.

Cui Juncai’s face flushed red as he vaguely saw the edge of the card in his hand, with four clubs.

In gambling terms, this is called ”four edges,” and in a deck, only the 9 and 10 cards are ”four edges.”

So, Cui Juncai aggressively smashed the card down, but to everyone’s disappointment, this time no miracle occurred. The card on the table was a club 10.

”Player 0 points, banker 8 points... banker wins!”

Amid the crowd’s furious cursing and Cui Juncai’s disbelief, the croupier collected all the chips wagered by everyone on the table.

Cui Juncai had been sitting here since morning.

He felt extremely lucky today, no, it should be said he had never been this fortunate. He just exchanged one million Korean Won in chips and won up to eight million.

He had never won so much money, and now, in just a few seconds, all the money was gone...

The imbalance in his mindset twisted Cui Juncai’s face, and he almost hesitantly turned and shouted to Cheng Fengxian, ”Brother Fengxian, get me another one hundred... no, two hundred thousand Korean Won in chips!”

”Dad, stop gambling, you promised to go home with me!”

Alarmed and scared, Cui Min’er hurried forward to stop him.

Cui Juncai shook off Cui Min’er’s hand and forced a smile, ”Dad will just play for a little longer, just a little bit longer, Min’er, be good and go home first, Dad will be back soon...”

Saying this, Cui Juncai sat back in the original seat.

Cui Min’er endured and endured, barely stopping the tears in her eyes from falling. With red eyes, she once again grabbed Cui Juncai.

”Dad, you don’t have to go with me, but you need to return my bank card to me!”

”What bank card... I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Cui Juncai was taken aback, a hint of panic appearing deep in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head.

”It’s the bank card I brought back. It was gone when I got up this morning... Did mom tell you? Return it to me, it’s my money, you can’t just take it!”

Cui Min’er shouted.

”Min’er, what nonsense are you talking about? I really don’t know about any bank card. How could Dad take your money?”

”Juncai, the next round is about to start, aren’t you betting?”

Just as Cui Min’er was about to say more, Cheng Fengxian, from the side, suddenly reminded him, placing two hundred thousand Korean Won chips next to Cui Juncai.

Cui Juncai immediately ignored Cui Min’er, turned and started pushing the chips out amid the crowd’s noise.

Cui Min’er tried to say more, but her words were drowned in the surrounding chaos as her thin figure was gradually pushed out of the crowd.

Cui Min’er stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at her father who was solely focused on the card table and felt utterly unfamiliar. Her heart gradually turned to ashes.

She didn’t even know how she left the casino. When she came to her senses, she found herself standing on the main street of Jiulong Village.

Cui Min’er crouched down, hugging her knees. At this point, she could no longer control herself, first sobbing softly and then gradually turning into loud cries, but Cui Min’er suppressed all her sobs in her arms with only her body trembling slightly.

After crying for who knows how long, a slightly smudged makeup Cui Min’er raised her head, instinctively pulling out her phone. But after much hesitation, she still didn’t dare to call that number...

It wasn’t so much that she was worried Zhou Wang would blame her for losing the money, but she was mainly afraid Zhou Wang would look down on her. After all, her family situation was already terrible, and now she had a gambling-addicted father.

As Cui Min’er was feeling lost, suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind her:

”Hey, Min’er, so you’re here... I went to your house and couldn’t find you; I thought you’d gone out.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice she hadn’t heard in so long, Cui Min’er quickly wiped her face, turned, and stood up to see a pretty girl standing in front of her.

The girl had good features, plus full marks in makeup skills, and at a glance, she wasn’t much inferior to Cui Min’er, just a bit shorter, belonging to the normal height for Korean girls, with no comparison to Cui Min’er.

”Nana?”

Cui Min’er was taken aback for a moment, an expression of delight appeared on her previously gloomy face.

The girl before her was Sun Nana, a childhood friend with whom she was once very close, and they attended the same high school. However, as Sun Nana’s modeling career started to take off, she became busier, and with Cui Min’er going abroad, their contact became less frequent.

”What are you doing here?”

”I specifically came to find you. Your previous number was unreachable. I thought I might have come for nothing, but luckily bumped into you here...”

Sun Nana chuckled, seemingly feeling no gap, and hugged Cui Min’er.

”Looking for me? What’s the matter?”

”It’s been so long since we last got together. Didn’t I tell you to contact me when you return to the country? Silly Min’er, you didn’t take my words seriously at all!”

Sun Nana punched Cui Min’er’s shoulder and then, without further ado, dragged Cui Min’er to walk forward, ”Since I’ve caught you now, accompany me to a place.”

”Where?”

Caught unprepared, Cui Min’er quickly asked.

”Of course, to get food and drink... there’s a very high-class party today. I got two invitations, but my other girlfriend bailed on me, so you get to go.”

”A party?”

Knowing what means Sun Nana used to become a top model, Cui Min’er immediately became wary, resisting, ”Nana, I’m not going to those circle parties... I have a boyfriend now.”

”I know, I know, you think I’d set you up?”

Sun Nana explained helplessly, ”It’s not the kind of private party you think, it’s a proper entertainment industry party, held by YG Entertainment... you know YG Entertainment, right?”

”Of course, I’m a die-hard fan of Somi.”

Hearing this, Cui Min’er felt relieved and also excited, ”Does that mean Somi will be there?”

”Of course, I heard all the stars from YG Entertainment will attend. Knowing you’re a fan of Jeon So-mi, I specifically came to find you, isn’t that nice of me?”

Sun Nana chuckled and dragged Cui Min’er forward, ”We still have time, let’s get our hair done first; we can’t lose face at such an occasion...”

This time, Cui Min’er didn’t resist anymore and thought it was a good opportunity to relax.

”Huh, it’s snowing.”

After walking a few steps, Cui Min’er suddenly noticed, looked up at the sky, and met the drifting, sparkling snowflakes.

...

”It’s snowing...”

In the suite at Shilla Hotel, as Sura and Xu Wenqian gave Zhou Wang a hairstyle and dressed him up, Zhou Wang noticed snowflakes drifting outside the window. He couldn’t help but get up and walk to the window to watch.

Being a genuine southerner, he always maintained a sense of novelty towards snow.

Xu Wenqian, also full of interest, came over, while Sura, who grew up in the Northeast, yawned in boredom.

”Have the invitation cards for Charles been sent?”

As Zhou Wang enjoyed watching the snow, he casually asked.

Tonight, YG Entertainment was hosting a welcome party just for him, a semi-public one. Zhou Wang, who had canceled Charles’ lunch invitation yesterday, wanted to make it up with this dinner party.
