Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 579: Chapter 577 I Lost

Song Xiaochen couldn’t stay calm any longer. He was very clear that this woman surnamed Huo couldn’t possibly be cheating at dice, but she kept guessing correctly. That absolutely couldn’t just be a matter of luck!

Song Xiaochen noticed Huo Sining’s series of expressions during the process of guessing the dice, from the start of shaking them to the final reveal, this woman’s face always had a very faint smile, neither nervous nor excited.

Song Xiaochen suspected that Huo Sining could listen to the dice, but he didn’t notice any special changes in her facial expressions during the process of shaking.

Even at one point during the shaking of the dice, she chatted with the two women beside her, obviously distracted.

This realization made Song Xiaochen feel defeated.

He had always thought he was a cut above the rest in the casino. Though he couldn’t win against his father, Song Lifeng, he was still considered one of the elites in the gambling world. Yet this woman, without showing any expression, had directly brought him down with her actions.

Song Xiaochen became acutely aware of what a grave mistake he had made. In this world where talents abound, there is always someone better out there. He was only slightly better than others, but he didn’t have much capital to be arrogant.

By the last round, seeing Huo Sining’s indifferent smile, Song Xiaochen’s mind was in complete disarray; he had no intention to listen to the dice anymore, only coming back to his senses when the dice cup landed on the table.

Song Xiaochen’s father had told him countless times that at the gambling table, the person who could really bring you down wasn’t your enemy, but yourself.

In the past, Song Xiaochen didn’t understand the meaning of these words, but now he finally comprehended what Song Lifeng had said and clearly recognized that in this round of gambling, he had lost to this woman.

Because he had been thoroughly disturbed by her, he could no longer calm his mind to listen to the dice.

”I lost,”

Song Xiaochen’s complexion turned pallid, and he wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, the previous arrogance gone.

Huo Sining was stunned upon hearing Song Xiaochen’s words. Right now, the fifty million chips in both their hands were still untouched. How could they speak of winning or losing?

”I’ve been around the Ao City casino for many years. I’ve been dealing with these things since I was young, and I’ve only ever won against others. Never have I lost as miserably as today. Out of twelve rounds, I didn’t win a single one. For me, this is too much of a failure.”

Song Xiaochen sighed, looked up at Huo Sining, and said, ”Miss Huo, you won!”

Huo Sining was at a loss for words, not expecting Song Xiaochen to concede defeat on his own.

Song Xiaochen was a man of his word. Since he had admitted defeat in this gambling game, he would naturally fulfill his earlier promise.

He stood up, took out the contract that Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian had brought over, and without a word, signed his name and stamped it swiftly. Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian were overjoyed and quickly signed their names on the contract as well.

”In fact, before you guys came, my sister had already given me an ultimatum not to sign this contract with you. But since I lost to Miss Huo, I must sign it whether I want to or not.”

Song Xiaochen said to Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian with a smile, ”I hope our future cooperation will be pleasant!”

Relief appeared on the faces of Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian. The contract negotiations had gone smoothly, and their purpose for the trip was achieved. They needed to hurry back to prepare for the project’s planning and implementation. Therefore, the group didn’t delay, quickly packing up and standing to leave.

As he reached the door, Song Xiaochen suddenly thought of something and called out to Huo Sining who was about to leave, asking curiously, ”Miss Huo, what do you do for a work?”

Huo Sining paused, turned her head back with a smile, and said to Mr. Song, ”Mr. Song, I believe I mentioned that what I’m best at is gambling on stones and appraising antiques.”

A group of seven left the Grand Lisboa and were getting ready to take the ferry back, planning to rest in Xiangjiang for the night and then catch an early flight back to S City.

”Miss Huo, please wait a moment!”

Just as she was about to board the ferry, the croupier who had been rolling the dice in the casino earlier suddenly caught up from behind, calling out hastily, ”Miss Huo, please hold on a moment!”

Huo Sining stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at the croupier questioningly. The croupier had run all this way, his face flushed and panting heavily. As soon as he had steadied himself, he pulled out a small gift box from his chest and handed it to Huo Sining.

”This is a welcome gift from President Song. He has asked me to tell you, he hopes that the next time you come to Ao City, there will be another chance to gamble with you!”

Huo Sining accepted the small gift box, thanked Song Xiaochen for his kindness, and settled onto the boat before curiously opening the box.

”What is this card?”

Su Qingqing was the most eager, seeing Huo Sining take a card made of gold and silver from the box, she couldn’t help but snatch it and turned it over and over in her hands.

Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian saw the card and their faces showed surprise:

”A Platinum Card from the Grand Lisboa! Has Song Xiaochen gone mad, why is he so generous today, actually willing to give it away?”

Huo Sining looked up, puzzled, ”What? Is it very precious?”

Ouyang Jun responded with exasperation, ”Precious? It’s priceless! In the whole Hong Kong and Macau region, including the Mainland, there are no more than a hundred people who own this card!”

Huo Sining wondered, ”What’s the use of this thing?”

”The person who holds this card can eat and stay for free in any part of the Grand Lisboa. Not just that, but with this card, your status in Grand Lisboa becomes that of a VIP. When you go to the casino, you will be received by a dedicated person, and you don’t need to exchange for chips – the casino staff will take care of it for you. Beyond that, with this card, you can overdraw up to fifty million in cash at the Grand Lisboa Casino without any collateral.”

Huo Sining was somewhat surprised when she heard this. She hadn’t expected that Song Xiaochen would give her such a big gift without any apparent reason, which made her feel somewhat uneasy about holding onto it.

”Just keep it. Ignore his flattery—no good deed comes without a motive. The guy is normally very stingy. I guess he must want something from you, otherwise he wouldn’t have given you something so valuable,” Ouyang Jun assured her with a smile.

Huo Sining nodded; she vaguely guessed why Song Xiaochen was doing this. He must have wanted to know how she was able to listen to the dice.

But Huo Sining couldn’t possibly reveal her secret to Song Xiaochen, because her Heavenly Eye in itself was a miraculous BUG. Once known to others, what would await her was a disaster.

One should not accept rewards without earning them. Huo Sining secretly placed the card into her Space, planning to return it the next time she went to Ao City or if Song Xiaochen came looking for her.
