In the blind district.
Twenty shiny golden boxes were placed upright on the golden velvet table in a row.
No one knew what the raw stones inside looked like or if they were priceless or useless.
From the outside, one could only tell that there were big and small stones.
The largest box was half the height of a person.
The smallest was as small as a jewelry box.
No matter the size, the raw stones in all the boxes were priced the same—5 million dollars.
Five million!
Let alone buying raw stones, even if she went to a jade trading company to choose a ready-made piece of good jade, she could at least choose casually.
However, to open up top-notch jade stones above the glass type, she still had to rely on such a big gamble to have a chance!
That was why people said that stone gambling was life-changing In the blink of an eye, a rich man in a city might be created, or he might be defeated until he was a beggar with nothing left.
There were already a few old businessmen who had paid the check and were deliberating over which piece to gamble with.
Seeing Young Master Wang walk over, a few rich businessmen nodded. They knew that his father was the chairman of the jade trading company and that his family had some strength.
This Young Master Wang was also a regular customer of the casino and had outstanding gambling results.
However, when Gu Qiqi walked over casually, the few rich businessmen frowned.
“Not just any random woman can enter a blind district!”
“This kind of woman who relied on her looks to play isn’t satisfied with fishing for money in the bidding area. She actually came to sully the territory of our professional stone gambling experts!”
“Waiter, hurry up and drive this poor woman out!”
The waiter was sweating profusely. He couldn’t raise his head after being reprimanded by the big shots in the business world. He stammered, “This lady is also here to gamble…”
“Her? How much is she worth from head to toe? What capital does she have to gamble?!” The few big shots snorted.
Amidst laughter, Gu Qiqi pinched the black card in her hand.
She knew that if she threw her card out now, she would be able to slap their face until she felt good.
But…
She curved her lips.
She preferred to use another method to slap his face.
“I don’t have the capital, so I am betting using the stones.” Faced with everyone’s doubts, she said lightly.
Betting using stones!
These were the words of the stone gambling dens in the Imperial Capital.
In other words, even if one didn’t have the capital, they could still gamble. If they opened up a priceless treasure, then half of this treasure would be given to the stone gambling den to offset the capital. It was also known as stone collateral.”
But if it produced a useless item…
Then, she had to repay her capital double! If she didn’t repay it on the spot, she had to pay a considerable amount of interest!
Many gamblers who didn’t care about their lives ended up bankrupt because of gambling stones. They even owed a huge debt and were harassed for the rest of their lives. Some of them even worked hard in the stone gambling den to repay their debts. The women would even be sold to that dark place to do it!
Thus, when Gu Qiqi said that she didn’t have the capital and could only bet on stones, the entire blind district revealed a trace of disdain and ridicule.
This woman was indeed poor!
It seemed that her outcome today was either being toyed with by Young Master Wang or being sold to the stone gambling den for… that kind of dirty business!
Tsk tsk. What a pity for such an exquisite and beautiful face.
A rich businessman immediately revealed a confused look. “Tsk. Why are you still betting on stones? I’ll pay for you…”
Young Master Wang immediately said, “CEO Liu, that’s not good, right? If you want to interfere, wait until I’m done gambling with her before we talk…” He spoke as if this girl was his to enjoy.
CEO Liu smiled. “Young man, take care of your body. If you can’t, we can do it together. Let’s take turns…”
The rich businessmen laughed.
Gu Qiqi turned a deaf ear to these vulgar old men’s unrestrained teasing. She walked to the golden velvet table and swept through the 20 raw stones across the box as fast as she could.
Finally, she chose the smallest piece and said coldly,
“I’ll bet on this!”
