Although the manager’s voice wasn’t loud, many people still heard it.
The scene was inexplicably awkward.
Tang Li pondered for a moment. The original owner of the body had a lot of dowry, but after she married Qi Yihan, she didn’t bring the dowry with her. Instead, she asked her family to invest her dowry in stocks. In other words, she really couldn’t afford it now.
Xiang Wanwan felt a little apologetic when she saw how awkward the atmosphere was. “Madam, thank you for your kind intentions. I’ll think of a way to get the money myself.”
“How will you get the money yourself?” Xiang Guangqiang was furious when he heard that. His daughter was a fool because she didn’t want to take advantage of Tang Li. Did she really want her father’s arms and legs to get chopped off?
“Shut up. Since she said that she will help us pay it back, let her figure out how.”
Xiang Wanwan was furious. “Daddy, are those words supposed to come out of a human?”
“Do you want them to chop my hand off? Let me tell you, Xiang Wanwan, I won’t let them chop my hand off. When the time comes… I’ll sell you off.”
“Then I’ll see you in court!”
“You wicked witch!”
Tang Li felt that this female lead was not stupid and had a sense of right and wrong. She did not hate her at all, so she said to the manager, “How about this? Lend me 100,000 yuan first, and I’ll try a few rounds. When the time comes, I’ll pay you back double.”
The manager considered it for a moment. Although Fourth Master had said that he would not let Fourth Madam spend his money tonight, Fourth Madam must have money as well. What was more, Fourth Madam’s family was definitely not poor by any means. He would only need to lend 100,000 yuan to get 200,000 yuan, so why not?
“Sure, sure. Fourth Madam, is 100,000 enough? If it’s not enough, I can lend you more.”
“It’s quite enough.”

Qi Yihan sat alone in the private room with a wine glass in his hand. He lowered his head and was thinking about something. After some time, the door was suddenly pushed open and Xu Shize and Situ Jin walked in.
Situ Jin was handsome, but he had been sick since he was young. His skin was abnormally pale, and his lips were dark green. When one took a look at him, one could immediately tell that he was sickly. After he entered, as soon as he called out “Yihan”, he covered his mouth and started coughing.
Seeing him like this, Xu Shize said for him, “Qi Yihan, hurry up! Go and rein in your woman. She is going crazy…”
Qi Yihan’s sharp eyes fired up instantly. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but his eyes were much gloomier than usual, like a freezing winter that sent shudder down everyone’s spine. Xu Shize felt goosebumps after being stared at like that and stopped speaking.
Situ Jin paused for a moment before lowering his hand. With a hint of helplessness, he said, “I didn’t expect Tang Li’s gambling skills to be so good. She only used one hour to make my men lose close to 100 million. Can you go down and ask her to show some mercy?”
Qi Yihan froze. He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never expected such a situation.
As long as that woman didn’t cause trouble, he didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
However, after Situ Jin said that, he decided to take a look. He put down his wine glass and followed the two of them to the second floor.
…
After Tang Li hung up the phone, Bai Qingyang could no longer call her. He grabbed the phone tightly and asked Zhou Qian, “Zhou Qian, what should I do now?”
Zhou Qian panicked as well, but she still tried her best to stay calm. She first called the front desk to ask, and when she found out that Tang Li had come to the clubhouse, she said to Bai Qingyang, “Let’s split up and look for Miss Tang now. If we find her, you can beg her. She will definitely forgive you.”
“Okay.”
The two of them split up to look for her.
…
On the second floor.
The news that Tang Li had won close to 100 million within an hour spread quickly, and many people rushed over to watch.
At once, the second floor was crowded with people.
Xiang Guangqiang, who was standing behind Tang Li, rubbed his hands and blushed. At the same time, he said to Xiang Wanwan, “Wanwan, we really met a benefactor today. This is the first time I’ve seen someone so good at gambling. This madam is even better than the God of Gambling.”
Xiang Wanwan had mixed feelings. She didn’t expect things to develop in this direction.
Xiang Guangqiang already had other ideas in mind. He even said confidently, “Since this madam is gambling because she wants to help us, she has already won so much money. Later on, you can beg her to not let us pay back the money. Also, you can ask her to help us pay back the money we owed previously.”
“Daddy, why do you have such thoughts!” Xiang Wanwan frowned. “Even if she wins a lot, it’s still hers. We have to pay back what we owe.”
“Are you stupid? She has already won so much. She won’t mind us not paying it back!”
Xiang Wanwan was about to speak again when she and Xiang Guangqiang were pushed aside forcefully by someone behind them. Then, a person walked up behind Tang Li and called her, “Tang Li.”
The way he called her “Tang Li” gave Xiang Wanwan and Xiang Guangqiang goosebumps.
Tang Li tilted her head and looked at Bai Qingyang, who was standing behind her with an aggrieved look on his face. He looked like he was about to cry but was trying to hold it in. She said with a cold and distant gaze, “Step back.”
Bai Qingyang obediently took two steps backward.
Tang Li then turned to look at him.
The crowd started discussing.
“Do you want to go on playing or not? We’re all waiting.”
“Isn’t that celebrity Bai Qingyang?”
“What’s their relationship?”
In the past, Bai Qingyang did not want others to know that he was Tang Li’s man. He always felt that it was a humiliation to him, but now, he did not care at all. Instead, he was glad that there were many people here. He felt that he knew Tang Li very well. As long as he was willing to get close to her, she would immediately soften her heart.
“Tang… Li, it was my bad. Can you forgive me this time?”
Tang Li looked at Bai Qingyang coldly, and she couldn’t understand why the Host was into him. Although she had never been in a relationship before, she knew that there was something wrong in the relationship between the Host and Bai Qingyang.
If the Host felt lonely, she wouldn’t find someone who would always take anger out on her.
Wasn’t that insane to spend money to get someone to take anger out on you?
At this thought, Tang Li’s expression turned colder. “What do you want?”
“I…”
Bai Qingyang’s body trembled. Tang Li’s tone was so cold that it sounded as if they were not close at all. Bai Qingyang could not bring himself to say what he had planned.
A strong sense of humiliation overwhelmed Bai Qingyang. He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to turn around and leave. He felt that Tang Li was trying to embarrass him in public because she was angry at him. For the sake of the one million yuan spent tonight, he put on his usual act. “Tang… Li, can we talk?”
A cold smile appeared on Tang Li’s face. This person was probably unable to fork out the money he had spent tonight, which was why he was acting so weak in front of her. She turned around and said, “How about this? Bet me one million. If you win, the money will be yours, and I will talk to you again. If you lose, we will follow the rules of the casino.”
Bai Qingyang goggled at her in disbelief.
Tang Li’s voice turned forceful. “If you want to bet, go over and sit down..”
