Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Qi Guanshuangshuang laid the land deeds in her hand onto the gambling table one after another; sometimes she won, sometimes she lost, but the losses outweighed the wins.

At first Qi Guanshuangshuang was still very calm, but later on her eyes reddened; she pressed more and more land and house deeds, and in the end even put her silver notes on the table. The stakes for a single round soared to tens of thousands of taels.

So many silver notes flowing into her own arms like water, Fang Miaozhen was so stimulated her eyes turned red as well; even Boss Zhang grew excited—after all, there was a share of it for her too.

In the end Qi Guanshuangshuang was completely like a gambler gone mad; she directly staked a land deed and a shop contract, actually throwing in the Qi Guan Family’s largest business and tract of land in Yun City, together with over a hundred thousand taels in silver notes.

She waved the silver notes in her hand, eyes blood-red as she stared at Fang Miaozhen and Boss Zhang: ”What I’m staking this time, all added up, is definitely no less than four hundred thousand taels of Silver! Are you in or not?”

Fang Miaozhen had actually gone crazy from winning too; by the end she almost couldn’t be bothered to have Boss Zhang pretend to lose, her eyes bloodshot as she kept pressing her bets for Qi Guanshuangshuang to win.

Now, staring at the silver notes in Qi Guanshuangshuang’s hand, she couldn’t tear her gaze away; she had already won a full three hundred thousand taels of Silver from Qi Guanshuangshuang, round after round.

If she added this money, she might end up winning seven or eight hundred thousand taels of Silver! The moment she thought of that amount, Fang Miaozhen felt as if her heart were about to leap out of her chest, every drop of blood in her body surging.

Fang Miaozhen slapped the table with almost no hesitation: ”I’m in. I’ll stake all the Silver I have on me and bet with you!”

Boss Zhang was actually a bit swept up in the gambling herself; looking at Qi Guanshuangshuang’s flushed face, she truly looked no different from the women in the gambling house who usually went blood-eyed with betting.

In her heart Boss Zhang even felt a bit uneasy, wondering, could Qi Guanshuangshuang really have lost her head to gambling? She glanced at the silver notes on the table, discreetly swallowed; there was really so much!

Boss Zhang even started thinking that if they just schemed Qi Guanshuangshuang’s Silver away like this, that wouldn’t be bad at all. With so much money, if she and Fang Miaozhen split it...

Who would have thought that just as Boss Zhang was thinking that, she saw Qi Guanshuangshuang give her a cold look, those eyes clear and icy, without a single trace of a gambler’s frenzy.

Boss Zhang couldn’t help shivering, snapping out of the daze that the silver notes had blurred her into in an instant.

Boss Zhang finally remembered that the Qi Guan Family was not someone a small gambling-house owner like her, who relied on them as a patron, could afford to offend; not to mention that this Miss Qi Guan was clearly no easy character—she had truly underestimated her in the past.

Boss Zhang steadied herself and immediately followed the plan they’d decided on before. She shook the dice again and then, as if by accident, the roll came up ”big”—Qi Guanshuangshuang won!

Qi Guanshuangshuang immediately swept up all the silver notes, putting on an expression of wild joy as she burst out laughing: ”I won! I won this round! All these eight hundred thousand taels of Silver are mine now!”

Qi Guanshuangshuang was wildly jubilant, while Fang Miaozhen was stunned and heartbroken to the point her heart might bleed; she shot a vicious look at Boss Zhang, almost roaring out what she was thinking—how could you mess it up like this! You actually let Qi Guan win!

Boss Zhang, however, looked at Fang Miaozhen with apologetic eyes, acting as if she had slipped by mistake, then turned to urge Qi Guanshuangshuang on: ”Miss Qi Guan, your luck is really something. Care for another big round?”

Qi Guanshuangshuang glanced at the eager-faced Fang Miaozhen in front of her, deliberately hesitated, and said, ”No, I’ve already won enough. I’m done for today; another time.”

As soon as Qi Guanshuangshuang said that, Fang Miaozhen immediately grew anxious. If Qi Guanshuangshuang didn’t gamble anymore, not only would she fail to make any Silver today, she’d actually have lost a hundred thousand taels.

To have lost so much Silver gambling—no matter how much her mother favored her, she absolutely wouldn’t let this slide. The more Fang Miaozhen thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Seeing Qi Guanshuangshuang already rise and make as if to leave, Fang Miaozhen reached out and grabbed Qi Guanshuangshuang’s sleeve, her features almost twisted as she ground out through clenched teeth: ”No, you can’t leave. We have to play another round!”

Qi Guanshuangshuang shook her folding fan, looking smug as she said to Fang Miaozhen, ”Another round? Fine. Do you still have Silver?

I’ll say this first—if I’m going to keep playing, we still go by the old rule: double stakes, all in. I’m staking eight hundred thousand taels of Silver, and you have to match it exactly; otherwise I won’t gamble with you.”

Fang Miaozhen ground her teeth, her smile stiff and skin-deep as she said, ”Don’t worry, I’ll go back and fetch the silver notes right now. I’m definitely in for this eight-hundred-thousand-tael stake!”

With that, Fang Miaozhen hurriedly rushed out and went home. This time she headed straight for the estate treasury, opened the lock, flipped open the box where she kept her silver notes, took out every last note inside, and counted them—just ninety hundred thousand taels.

The silver notes inside had originally totaled a million taels of Silver, the Fang Family’s bottom-of-the-chest reserve notes, the kind that couldn’t be touched lightly unless it was for a major business affair.
