Originally, Chen Rou firmly believed that the original body was her past life.
But she dreamed of the original owner of this body a while ago, and she began to doubt her own judgment.
Nie Zhao insisted that she and the original owner of this body were two different people.
But it didn't matter anymore; Chen Rou wasn't dwelling on it. It was already 10:30 at night, and she had to go to work.
She cupped Nie Zhao's face in her hands and kissed him deeply on the forehead: "Don't wake A Yuan, wait for me to come back."
She doesn't like wearing high heels. To match her cheongsam, she has to wear leather shoes, but they are low-heeled and made of soft sheepskin. They make no sound when she steps on the soft, thick carpet.
As she walked through the service corridor, a group of men in black suits stood silently at the entrance to the guest rooms until she came out.
When she turned back, she was already wearing sunglasses. Her hair was black and slightly curly. She wore striking red lips and a dark green cheongsam. She smiled at Nie Zhao and then turned to leave.
Fearing that there might not be enough manpower if a fight broke out, Nie Zhao sent everyone out, leaving only Secretary An by his side.
My wife just said not to wake A-Yuan and to let him get some sleep.
But Nie Zhao watched her leave, then turned back, grabbed a jacket, and pulled back the covers: "A-Yuan?"
A-Yuan sat up abruptly: "Hmm?"
Nie Zhao was afraid that her son would throw a tantrum if she didn't bring Coke, so she grabbed his little backpack, wrapped him in her clothes, picked him up, put on her sunglasses, and went out: "Mom is going to work, we have to wait for Mom."
Upon hearing this, A-Yuan pushed his father forcefully, shouting, "Wait, wait a minute!"
She added, "Alcohol, Mom loves to drink, so bring beer."
Today, Mom didn't drink his Coke. After thinking about it, A Yuan figured it was because Mom preferred beer.
The thoughtful child didn't forget to bring beer when picking up his mother from get off work.
Secretary An guessed that the boss wouldn't be waiting here, so she didn't rest and just stood in the corridor.
Seeing the boss carrying his little boss, who was wrapped up like a ball, out, he quickly said, "Let's take the elevator down one floor, exit from the northwest side of the restaurant, and then take a taxi there."
The paparazzi from Hong Kong are all blocking this gate. If they keep an eye on Nie Zhao and he goes over there, Nie Jiayu will be exposed.
Nie Zhao nodded and followed Secretary An through the fire escape, down the elevator, and around to the other side.
Meanwhile, Chen Rou had already gotten out of the car at the entrance of the casino. Right there at the entrance, Master Er and Master Dong were with a bunch of gangsters and a large group of onlookers. Of course, Hu Xiaotian, Ah Si, and Chen Jinbao were all there.
Yes, Hu Xiaotian was wearing headphones and was in constant communication with his second wife.
The moment Chen Rou stepped out of the car, Hu Xiaotian was stunned by her dark green cheongsam, her slightly taller stature than the average woman, her slightly curly hair, and her red lips. He trembled on the spot: "My God, it's the First Madam!"
The second wife of the Nie family was in the monitoring room, watching the surveillance footage at the main entrance.
The lighting would degrade the image quality, and at the moment Chen Rou got out of the car, she vaguely felt that it was a familiar old friend.
Although she was terrified, she possessed courage and boldness, and she angrily retorted, "You're crazy!"
He added, "Cheer up! Either you win this match, or you'll have to chop off your own legs."
Hu Xiaotian took a deep breath, smiled, and squeezed forward: "Tonight, Mrs. Nie is truly radiant and peerless."
Master Dong glared at the traitorous dog and said, "Fool, what right do you have to judge my Arou's appearance?"
Master Er smiled gently and said, "You only know the surface and not the substance, Director Hu, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
The streets on both sides outside the casino were packed with people, including gamblers, reporters, and gamblers.
Inside the casino, there weren't many people gambling in the main hall today; most of them were crowding around the entrance.
Tonight is the final battle, and the stakes are public: if Hu Xiaotian loses, he will have to cut off both of his legs.
This incident has already caused a sensation throughout Macau, especially since the opponent is the wife of Hong Kong's richest man.
The onlookers, the dealers, the thugs—everyone was watching.
There was something that the second wife, who was hiding behind the scenes, was very curious about. The gambling king, Mr. Wen, was also very curious. Of course, all the underlings and paparazzi in Hong Kong were also very curious, but they just didn't have the chance to ask.
Tonight, Boss Wen is staying at his second wife's house, testing the children's studies. The second wife also plans to finish this gamble, deal with Chen Rou, and then go home. She also plans to have Hu Xiaotian find out the reason behind it so she can tell her husband when she gets back.
Therefore, she told Hu Xiaotian through her earpiece: "Stop talking nonsense and ask the questions you need to ask."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled awkwardly and changed his words to Chen Rou: "Mrs. Nie, if I lose tonight, I'll have to cut off my own legs. But I haven't asked you to raise the stakes or ask for bets at the gambling table. I only have one question. We've met by chance, so could you please answer my question before we get to the gambling table? If I lose, I won't hesitate to cut off my legs on the spot."
Chen Rou could actually guess: "You want to ask me how I became such a close friend with those two fathers from Hong Kong?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and bowed, continuing with a forced smile: "I'm really curious to know."
What Chen Rou knew was that the Second Wife wanted to ask, and the Second Wife was also observing her throughout the video.
She also knew that the second wife considered herself a heroine, but she was not. If there was a true heroine, it should be her daughter, the second young lady, who was able to break free from the constraints and shackles imposed on women by society and live her own life.
But of course, her relationship with the two bigwigs involves too many things and will eventually become an unsolved mystery of the century.
She was only there for a brief visit to the casino, to intimidate and gather intelligence. She had no obligation to share anything with the local bullies, so she wouldn't answer Hu Xiaotian's questions, and she also wanted to give the second wife, who was watching her, a warning.
