Chapter 870 The Viscountess's overtures

The Viscountess, on the other hand, took the Queen of Clubs.

Chinese men play cards.

The Viscountess was unwilling to give up, but she insisted on sticking to her guns, "Place your bet, one million!"

"I'm sorry, Madam, the current odds are three Aces, and Miss Chen will place her bet," the staff member said.

The Viscountess could only awkwardly withdraw her hand.

"All in!" Helian Jiao waved her hand arrogantly.

Betting so little is so boring!

The crowd erupted in an uproar!

Bai Weiying spoke up to remind her, "Jiaojiao! Do you know what 'all in' means?! That's five million!"

Even with Richard backing her up, she hadn't even seen his cards!

She looked at Gu Tingyun beside her, expecting him to say something to persuade her, but he simply said, "Whatever my darling likes."

This is... this is way too capricious!

Even Richard, who was standing to the side, placed the box on the table without a single complaint.

On the contrary, he felt honored because the princess had spent his money!

Suddenly, the area was surrounded by onlookers.

The Viscountess was also taken aback. She could have simply played her cards and left, but with so many people watching, leaving like that would make it seem like she had been frightened by the other party!

Now we're in a bit of a bind!

"Madam, please place your bet, or you can waive it," the staff member reminded her again.

The Viscountess hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Helian Jiao had not looked at her cards, she felt that she was bluffing.

"and!"

The servant behind her also placed a box on the table.

Instantly, the chips piled up almost as high as a small mountain.

This is a stake of ten million.

The Viscountess turned over her cards: three Kings, an Ace, and a Queen.

Her gaze was fixed on Helian Jiao's cards, her heart pounding like a drum.

The staff member stepped forward and flipped over the cards. Helian Jiao's hole card was the Jack of Hearts. The staff member then announced, "Ms. Chen, three Aces and two Jacks, a full house, the highest hand! Ms. Chen wins!"

The little princess looked disgusted and said, "This isn't fun at all, it's not even as fun as playing mahjong!"

If you auction off a diamond for 20 million, you'll at least get a diamond.

But now, having lost five million in just one game, the Viscountess's heart was bleeding, yet she had to pretend not to care.

So as not to be looked down upon by others.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, Chen Jiao wasn't petty and wouldn't hold a grudge, insisting on continuing the gamble with her.

My opinion of her changed instantly!

With a sincere smile, the Viscountess recommended some delicious desserts to Helian Jiao, saying, "Miss Chen, the chefs on the cruise ship are all renowned for their excellent skills. Have the kitchen prepare some just for you to try."

Of course she would take the initiative to be friendly, mainly because Helian Jiao was of a higher status than her, and she couldn't afford to offend her!

"Try it!" Helian Jiao had no resistance to delicious food and nodded in agreement.

The Viscountess immediately gave the order, and the kitchen quickly brought out all sorts of desserts.

Helian Jiao wasn't stingy either, and called out, "Weiying, come and have a taste too."

"Okay." Bai Weiying wiped her hands with a handkerchief and sat down next to Helian Jiao to eat some snacks.

The Viscountess stood to the side, expecting Bai Weiying to invite her, but after calling out to her, she didn't say anything more.

She wasn't angry at all, and gracefully turned around to greet the other guests.

By the time the cruise ship returned to port, it was already late at night or early morning.

As she left the dock, Bai Weiying stopped and said softly, "Jiaojiao, I'm going home. You should go home and rest early too. We'll make plans to play together again next time."
