Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1344: Chapter 1378: I’m the Queen of Squandering (Fourth Update)

”Hey, little lackey, do you know that Gu Yimeng? I saw a weird look in your eyes when you looked at him just now. And when we left, I turned around and saw that guy seemed to recognize you.”

At this moment, Beiming Lan seemed to remember something.

”Him? Who is he? I don’t know him.” Lin Zifeng shook his head, only a fool would know him.

”Then why did you give him such a strange look just now?”

”Because he just suddenly offered you a watch worth more than seven hundred grand. With such a big spender, how could I not take a few extra glances? Maybe I could catch on to his coattails someday.” Lin Zifeng was exasperated. Such a simple reasoning and she didn’t get it. It seems this chick is just simple-mindedly extravagant, really quite clueless about anything else.

However, Beiming Lan’s extravagant behavior was deserving of Lin Zifeng’s sympathy.

After all, behind every squanderer, there’s usually a heartbreaking story...

”Alright then, but that Gu Yimeng is really annoying. He’s been pursuing my sister for more than a year. When he couldn’t win her over, he often came to bother me. He wanted to get close to me and win my sister’s favor, but this guy is downright wicked, and his lifestyle is just awful. That’s why my sister doesn’t even look at him. Actually, his biggest failure is his conscience. Riding on the fact that his father is Gu Tianjiao, the Medicine King of the Chinese Medicine Family in Dragon City, he opened several herb companies.

And without any regard for his conscience, he sells herbs at exorbitant prices. I don’t know how many people have been swindled by their lousy herbal store. Even I don’t fancy someone like him, let alone my sister, who has such high expectations.”

Beiming Lan pursed her lips, glancing around to see if there were any suitable gambling tables. She was eager to play a few rounds.

Anyway, with money to blow, a bit of indulgence couldn’t hurt.

”So, Gu Yimeng is that wicked, huh?” To cater to this young miss’s taste, Lin Zifeng put on an animated expression of shock.

He thought to himself, I’m not that innocent either...

”Wicked? More like something that goes against one’s conscience!”

Then she seemed to have found something interesting, her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran to the table.

”...”

Originally, Lin Zifeng wanted to ask about the Beiming Family, but it seemed that wasn’t going to happen.

The time spent with Beiming Lan was too short. If he pressed her, it might arouse suspicion.

”Hey, isn’t this the second young miss of the Beiming Family? What, are you planning to play a few rounds today too?”

The appearance of Beiming Lan immediately drew a lot of attention.

This prodigal girl, who spends money like water, was famous for being extravagant in Dragon City.

Besides, she had frequented this kind of place many times.

So, her presence brightened a lot of eyes, as if the God of Wealth was delivering fortune—why wouldn’t they welcome her?

”Are you playing Three of a Kind?”

Beiming Lan loved Three of a Kind the most, a game where money talks. She loved games that tested wits and courage, all crushed by money.

If you have it in you, you can squish me with your money too.

Even if your hand was bigger than hers, many gamblers, without money or guts, would give up and fold their cards.

After all, following each round means slamming down ten thousand at a time. Even the super-rich can’t withstand such losses.

”Yes, does Miss Beiming want to play a few rounds?”

Five burly gamblers, smoking cigarettes with greasy faces, stared with greedy eyes at Beiming Lan’s voluptuous chest.

But more than that, they were eyeing the money in Beiming Lan’s pockets.

About ten people surrounded them.

Everyone knew a sucker had arrived today, and if they didn’t fleece her, it would be a waste.

”Of course, I’m going to play! How could I miss such a fun game?”

Beiming Lan smiled, sat down at the round table, pulled out her bank card, and waved: ”Change all the money in here to cash for me. Exchange as much as you can.”

The casino attendants rushed to change money for Beiming Lan.

”What kind of stakes does Miss Beiming want to play with, ten thousand, or something bigger?” The slick-faced fat man opposite smiled at her.

”I didn’t bring much money today, just a few hundred thousand. If I lose, let it be charity, and if I win, it’s just a little recovery. Ten thousand is too much, let’s bet with a one thousand bottom, and the upper limit for each round is five thousand. I don’t have much to spare after that.”

”Haha, Miss Beiming, you must be joking. With your Beiming Family’s vast resources, how could you not be able to afford this little money?” The fat man opposite rubbed his bald head and laughed heartily: ”Isn’t that right, everyone?”

”Yes...”

The crowd joined in the jeering.

”Go, go, go, let’s play first. If you don’t want to play, forget it. Hurry up, deal the cards.”

Beiming Lan was already impatient.

She urged them to deal the cards quickly.

Lin Zifeng stood quietly behind her, watching the fat guys teasing Beiming Lan.

As long as they didn’t go too far, he wouldn’t provoke those guys.

In Three of a Kind, each person gets three cards, and then each looks at their own hand. If their hand was big, they’d feel confident and might compete.

If the hand was small, it depended entirely on one’s smarts to read the opponent’s mind, trying to force them to fold. But there are always exceptions; if the other’s hand was much bigger, winning was unlikely.

Life was like having a good hand, it all depended on how you played it...

After the cards were dealt, Beiming Lan casually grabbed the three cards in her hand.

Then she opened them one by one.

It started with an ace.

Very pleasantly surprised, then the second card turned out to be another ace!

”Damn! Could the last one also be an ace?”

Everybody knew the biggest hand in Three of a Kind was three aces, once she got that hand, she’d bet big and surely win.

However, as the third card was turned over.

Beiming Lan was completely stunned, it was indeed three aces.

But when she got three aces, those guys just followed for a round and then all of them folded.

As a result, after the round, everyone else folded their cards, leaving only Beiming Lan with a hand.

She cleaned up the money...

”Oh my God! It really was three aces!”

Lin Zifeng secretly activated his x-ray vision and was almost startled by Beiming Lan’s luck.

”Alright, let’s deal the cards again.”

Beiming Lan quietly covered her three aces, not showing them to anyone.

But her face showed no joy at all.

A faint disappointment flashed through her heart for no reason.

But after playing dozens of rounds, the final winner was still her, and now Beiming Lan was getting anxious. She couldn’t sit still.

”I came here to squander, what’s with this situation where I don’t lose money, but win fifty grand instead? At this rate, those guys won’t want to play anymore.”

Thinking of this, Beiming Lan suddenly turned around, pointing at Lin Zifeng, ”Hey, little lackey, you play a few rounds for me. Play as you like. If you win, it’s yours; if you lose, I’ll take the loss.”

If she came to squander, it should be a true squandering.

After all, this lady is a famous prodigal girl.

(Staying up for the fourth update, hope everyone can be satisfied.)
