Wu Jiefang backed off a little and changed the topic, "Since we've made the bet, no one can go back on their words. But I haven't made the bet yet. I've changed my mind …"
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Mo Dongyang's eyebrows were raised … He knew that Mo Dongyang wasn't someone to be trifled with. Since he was already here, it wouldn't be easy for him to change his mind just like that.
He purposely made things difficult for Wu Jiefang, "It's like this. I've discussed with my friends today. Everyone said that this 1500 yuan is too cheap to bet my brick factory!"
Ah?
This was purely raising the price.
In fact, his real purpose was not to gamble anymore.
In that era, 1500 yuan was a big deal. It was enough to buy a house and land. He only had a small brick factory, and Wu Jiefang had only bought the management rights. This price was already very fair.
When Mo Dongyang heard what he said, he really wanted to give him two big slaps.
He took a deep breath and told himself, "Win people over with virtue. I'll still need this Wu Jiefang in the future. It's best not to be too extreme now. Anyway, I've already come this far. I'll just give him more money."
He pursed his lips and humphed softly, "I understand what you mean. I won't argue with you. Just name a price! Don't dawdle! "
Wu Jiefang also knew the rules. He also knew how much his factory was worth. He also didn't want to offend Mo Dongyang completely. He slowly extended three fingers, "Add this amount."
In that era, who would carry 300 yuan on them?
Mo Dongyang was also a person who did big things. He pondered for a while … "Wool comes from a dog. Anyway, this money will be earned back sooner or later." Alright then! I'll add another 300 yuan. However, I don't have that much cash on me now. I'll put it on credit first! "
Wu Jiefang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, "Master Jiu, how can you put money on credit in a casino? If you have money, you can play. If you don't, you can leave! There's a reason for this! How about this, we'll wait for you to gather the money next time, then we'll start again? "
He simply walked to the door and bowed respectfully … His meaning was clear, he was going to send the guest off.
Mo Dongyang really didn't know how to answer for a while. He was indeed short of 300 yuan on his side. He couldn't possibly force him to the gambling table, right?
He really didn't intend to use force … If he really wanted to use force, he wouldn't have asked Mi Xianger to gamble in the first place.
For a moment, he hesitated …
Should I leave?
I'm not willing!
I've already arranged everything!
I'm not leaving, right?
It seems like I'm not in the right. Reputation is very important in the outside world!
If I forced Wu Jiefang to gamble, if outsiders knew about it, it would really give me the excuse of "bullying the weak"!
Just as he hesitated …
Feng Xiuzhu suddenly spoke …
She was an extremely shy person and usually didn't speak much. When she suddenly spoke in front of everyone, it gave Mo Dongyang a shock. When he heard what she said, he was even more shocked.
Although Feng Xiuzhu's voice wasn't loud, her expression was very firm. "This … comrade …"
She didn't know what to call Wu Jiefang, so she simply called him comrade. "… We've already arrived, but you suddenly changed your mind. Isn't that a little inappropriate? Moreover, isn't it just short of 300 yuan? That's easy! I'll bet myself here. That should be fine, right? I'm also a virgin. If Mo Dongyang doesn't want to pay you 300 yuan, I'll let you do whatever you want to me without any complaints! "
When she said this, Wu Jiefang didn't know the other party's background.
What about Mi Xianger?
She was so shocked that her chin almost dropped.
Feng Xiuzhu, who was usually so shy, suddenly put on such a show in front of everyone's eyes …
She lowered her head and thought about it. She understood the reason behind it … Feng Xiuzhu wanted to help Mo Dongyang. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, she wanted to help Mo Dongyang.
This could also be considered a different kind of confession.
How could Mo Dongyang not understand?
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He stared at Feng Xiuzhu. His heart was filled with emotions, and he didn't know what he was feeling.
Mi Xianger continued to speak. Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. "Wu Jiefang, how could you take back what you said? This temper … really degrades the value of the men in the Northeast!"
These words made Wu Jiefang unable to lift his head.
She used her finger to point at Feng Xiuzhu. "This is my biological sister, Wu Jiefang. I won't leave her with you just because of 300 yuan. I will accompany her to bet here. If I lose, Brother Mo will definitely send the money to you before dawn. It definitely won't be bad!"
Biological sister?
Accompany her to stay?
Feng Xiuzhu's heart felt warm when she heard that.
Mo Dongyang slammed the table with all his might. Although he didn't have any helpers by his side, his aura and reputation were still there … Ninth Master Mo wasn't someone to be trifled with. "Wu, what do you mean? Are you playing with me? I've already put a living person on the line, and you still dare to drag things out for me? Damn! Today, whether you want to or not, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! "
Since things had come to this …
Wu Jiefang didn't speak anymore.
He could only compare it to the mahjong table. "Then let's play mahjong!"
Mi Xianger shook her head. "Four people playing mahjong, who will lose? Who will win? This is too slow! Pai Jiu isn't straightforward either. My body isn't that good, so let's end this quickly. In my opinion, let's just grab the big and small ones. This is simple, right? Everyone knows how to do it! It's also clear at a glance! If you're the big one, you win! If I'm the big one, I win! That's it! You can't cheat based on pure luck! "
This method was really straightforward.
This was purely a gamble, not a game at all.
Wu Jiefang pondered for a while … He had the temperament of gambling. The more exciting it was, the more he felt that this was life. "Then … Best of three? Or one to determine the winner? "
Mi Xianger was also generous. "Since it's my idea to grab the big and small ones, you decide the rules! I'm fine with a few rounds! "
"Then let's make it a best of three. That's only fair!"
Mi Xianger nodded her head and turned to Mo Dong Yang. "Don't you have a new set of poker cards? Take them out! Since the gambling is so big, for the sake of fairness, we'll use new cards for every round. This will prevent others from saying that there are marks on the cards. Wu Jiefang, what do you think? "
Wu Jiefang thought about it … What she said made sense.
Old poker cards would inevitably be suspected of being "marked" … The stakes were so "big", they should be more particular about it.
Although Mo Dong Yang didn't know what Mi Xianger wanted to do, he still took out the poker cards and slapped them on the table.
Mi Xianger stretched out her hand and tore open the plastic wrapping. She poured out all the cards and spread them out in a straight line. She looked like a 'mediator' in a casino. "Please examine the cards!"
What was there to check the new cards?
From A to K, they were all arranged according to the rules.
Wu Jiefang didn't mind. He nodded his head as a confirmation.
Mi Xianger smiled faintly and folded the poker cards. She separated them into two piles and held them in her hands. "Then I'll shuffle the cards?"
"Hua" …
She skillfully shuffled the two piles of cards … She paused for two to three seconds, then shuffled them again. She paused for a few more seconds before looking at Wu Jiefang. "Is this okay?"
Wu Jiefang often played at the poker table. He felt that Mi Xianger's shuffling was a little strange, but he couldn't find any flaws. He pondered for a while. "Shuffle again. Shuffling the cards three times isn't too much!"
Feng Xiuzhu was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She turned to look at Mo Dong Yang and saw that he was also staring at the cards. His lips were tightly pursed, and it was obvious that he was focused.
Mi Xianger followed Wu Jiefang's instructions and shuffled the cards again. Then, she placed the cards face down on the table and cleared her throat. "Wu Jiefang, if we draw the same cards, then it'll be the highest of hearts. How about that?"
"Okay!"
Wu Jiefang's eyes turned red when he saw the bet. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Look at his excited look. Even if the Seven Fairies were sitting next to him, he wouldn't even glance at them.
He swallowed hard. "I'll go first?"
That was a little advantageous. If he directly got the ace of hearts … Mi Xianger would simply enter the game, and he wouldn't have a chance at all.
Of course, Mo Dongyang knew that there was something fishy going on here. Just as he was about to speak, Mi Xianger calmly waved her hand. "It's okay. Let him draw!"
Looking at her look, she was completely confident. It was as if she had already memorized the positions of the 52 cards on the table.
Wu Jiefang didn't say much. He was afraid that the other party would go back on her words. He quickly drew a card and slammed it on the table. It was the ace of spades.
He instantly danced with joy … In other words, Mi Xianger only had one card to win against him. How could it be that easy to get the ace of hearts?
Wu Jiefang was almost certain that he would win. He grinned with his big black teeth and laughed happily.
Although Mo Dongyang was calm, his face was a little pale. He tilted his head to look at Mi Xianger and didn't say a word.
Mi Xianger's gaze seemed to be a little blank. It was as if she didn't know what had happened. She looked at the ace of spades and blinked for a long time. Then, she turned to Wu Jiefang. "I … will win if I get the ace of hearts?"
Once she finished speaking, she didn't hesitate. It was as if she just casually picked a card … and a card came out.
Wu Jiefang couldn't wait to flip the card over … It was a bright red ace of hearts.
The room was suddenly silent. Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
After a long while …
Wu Jiefang suddenly roared, "You … you cheated!"
