Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 576: Chapter 574: Defying the Heavens’ Gambling Luck

Fortunately, after Huo Sining’s hole card was revealed, it turned out to be a one-point card.

Upon seeing Huo Sining’s hole card, the croupier also breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand to turn over the first hole card, the three of clubs, and his hand was now zero. As long as the next card was not an Ace, he was sure to win.

Thinking this, a slight smile appeared on the face of the croupier.

But in the next moment, when he turned over the third card, his expression froze, and his smile abruptly ended.

The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded.

”An Ace!”

”How is that possible?! Two ties in a row, this woman’s luck is too incredible, isn’t it?”

”What’s the big deal about two ties? I heard that the Gambling King once went against a big shot in Las Vegas and had seven or eight ties in a row!”

”Wife, see, I told you we should have followed her bet. You dragged me away, and now we’re suffering. If I had just tossed two or three thousand to follow this woman’s bet, we could’ve had the down payment for our house!”

”If this woman bets on a tie again next round, I’m definitely following!”

”...”

Someone shouted, and suddenly the crowd exploded with chatter, laughs, and clamor—everyone except the croupier, who, wearing a long face, pushed the three hundred and twenty thousand in chips towards Huo Sining.

Gambling for fun, Huo Sining was not one to not know when to stop. It was nothing more than a fluke. Good fortune was a good thing, but not when wasted on unnecessary matters.

The onlookers felt disheartened as they watched Huo Sining leave her seat. They had hoped to ride on her winning streak to taste the sweetness of an eight to one payout, only to find that Huo Sining had no plans to gamble any further.

Perspiration beaded on the croupier’s forehead. In just two rounds, as the banker, he had lost three hundred thousand. This woman’s luck was simply too good; he couldn’t wait for her to leave.

In a surveillance room somewhere in the casino, Ouyang Jun’s eyes were glued to that unremarkable baccarat table. Watching the second tie end and the croupier with a face like he had swallowed a fly push the more than three hundred thousand in chips to Huo Sining, Ouyang Jun couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle.

Qin Tian couldn’t help but cough lightly, and only then did Ouyang Jun come back to his senses, awkwardly facing Song Xiaochen who was sitting opposite him.

Song Xiaochen rarely paid attention to what occurred on the second floor because those gambling there were mostly individual visitors. The majority were tourists from out of town, looking to try their luck at gambling for kicks. The bets these people placed were generally small, so the profits and losses weren’t very significant.

The real money in the casino was made on the fourth floor in the VIP rooms, which accounted for seventy percent of the casino’s cash flow and had much larger stakes than the second floor.

But ever since his friend took over the room, Song Xiaochen’s eyes had been fixed on a particular monitor, not even blinking, occasionally curling his lips into a lewd smile, which surprised him greatly.

He had known Ouyang Jun for many years, and there were few who could make this guy show such an expression. Song Xiaochen subconsciously looked at the woman in the surveillance video who had caused a stir; he was sure that this woman had a deep connection with Ouyang Jun.

”It seems her luck is quite good, Jun Zi, is that your new friend?” Song Xiaochen asked with a chuckle, looking at Ouyang Jun and probing him.

Ouyang Jun naturally knew what Song Xiaochen meant by ”new friend,” and couldn’t help but kick him, cursing with a smile, ”Don’t nauseate me with that crap you use on women. You think I’m like you, changing women more often than underwear? That’s Xu Zi’s wife.”

”Gu Xu’s wife? When did that happen?” Song Xiaochen was surprised to hear this and couldn’t help but turn to ask Qin Tian, who was sitting beside him.

”It was last year’s news, they’ve met the parents and made it official, it must be her without a doubt.”

Speaking of which, Qin Tian lifted his head and looked at Song Xiaochen with a half-smiling expression:

”You’d better not underestimate women, let me tell you, this girl is really something. She looks like she doesn’t understand a thing, but I guarantee, if you gambled with her, you might not win against her!”

”Is that so?” Song Xiaochen raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on the woman in the surveillance monitor. A glint flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of a different kind of interest.

Miss Huo had already played on the nearby slot machines and a few other gambling tables and was starting to find it rather dull. She was about to call Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian to leave, but at that moment, a croupier approached them.

”Miss Huo, President Song invites you to play on the fourth floor.”

Miss Huo was taken aback, turning her head to see the croupier looking at her with a smile.

”President Song?”

It was baffling to Miss Huo. She didn’t know any President Song, and besides, this was Aocheng Casino; how did this so-called President Song know her surname was Huo and then invite her to the fourth floor?

Earlier, when she was exchanging chips, Miss Huo had heard the service girl say that the fourth floor was a VIP lounge, where ordinary visitors did not have the chance to enter and gamble.

At that thought, Miss Huo couldn’t help but become wary. Although she’d never been to a casino before, she had seen the trickery within them on television.

The owners of casinos were generally from the underworld, where winning big was common but leaving with earnings was not. She had just won three hundred thousand on the Baccarat table; could it be that this President Song was enraged with embarrassment and wanted to make an example of her?

But then again, on second thought, Miss Huo felt something was off. Such a large casino would have daily financial transactions in the billions; it seemed unlikely that President Song would go to such lengths over her three hundred thousand win.

Perhaps noticing Miss Huo’s furrowed brow and her puzzled look, the croupier explained with a smile, ”Miss Huo, there’s no need to worry. President Song mentioned that your two friends are already waiting for you upstairs.”

Upon hearing the croupier mention her two friends, Miss Huo immediately thought of Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian. Those two had disappeared soon after entering the casino, and she was about to try contacting them; it looked like they had gone upstairs to meet with this President Song, had they not?

Since the croupier had made it so clear, Miss Huo saw no reason to refuse. Thus, the group of five followed the croupier upstairs. Upon reaching the fourth floor, the croupier led them into a private room. Sure enough, upon opening the door, there were Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian sitting inside.

Seeing Miss Huo and the others enter, Ouyang Jun was taken aback, while Qin Tian looked at Song Xiaochen with some surprise, ”What are you...”

Miss Huo was somewhat at a loss, seeing Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian’s reactions, clearly, it wasn’t their idea to invite her up here. It looked more like President Song had taken the initiative, and they were clueless as to why he had summoned her.
