Chapter 844: Just a fool with too much money
This tactic had been almost always successful in the past, but Gu Tingyun remained unmoved, still gazing tenderly at his lover.
Standing to the side, He Junlin smiled wryly and said, "Horse racing is all about the thrill. If everyone bets on the odds of winning, there's no surprise at all. What's the point?"
Having seen countless women, he naturally knew that Bai Jingjing was a scheming woman.
"Number five, bet 100,000 yuan." Gu Tingyun simply took out his card and placed the bet.
Everyone looked surprised and whispered among themselves.
"Young Master Gu is spending a fortune just to win a smile from his beloved!"
"It's just a pity that it's destined to be a one-way trip."
"Who can argue with that!"
...
The women were both envious and jealous, after all, 100,000 yuan was neither a lot nor a little, and anyone present could take it out.
Even knowing it's like throwing good money after bad, not everyone would be willing to do it just to amuse someone.
Bai Jingjing, making her presence known from the side, said, "Young Master Gu, you should really reconsider. Number five is good, but numbers six and seven are also very good and are favorites to win the championship. Why waste money?"
“What’s the point of betting on the hottest numbers? It’s the unexpected that makes it exciting! I’m betting on number five, 20,000 yuan!” Bai Weiying chimed in, placing her bet to support Little Rabbit.
It's only 20,000 yuan anyway, so if I lose it, I lose it.
We absolutely cannot let anyone look down on Jiaojiao!
Suddenly, the betting pool had an extra 120,000 in prize money.
Those who bet on the winning horse will receive the racecourse's odds and will also share the prize money in the betting pool.
The others immediately became excited and placed bets on other horses, all wanting to win the money, which increased the odds.
He Junlin also bought some to play with.
The lowest tier of the stands was already packed with people, creating a lively atmosphere.
It's almost time for the show to start.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and the horseman galloped off the starting line.
Everyone cheered and shouted encouragement for the horses they had bet on.
"Number One! Quick! Run!"
"Number 10! Go! Surpass them!"
"Number 8! I've staked everything on you, so cheer me on!"
...
Number 5 reacted a little slowly and fell behind from the start.
The onlookers had different expressions, all looking as if they had expected it. Horse number five was going to retire in two years anyway, and there were plenty of strong and healthy ones out there, but they insisted on buying this old horse.
Some wealthy individuals who already harbor prejudice against mainlanders began making sarcastic remarks, saying, "Young Master Gu is really kind-hearted, making a special trip all the way from the mainland to give us money. We couldn't stop him!"
After saying that, the group exchanged glances, their eyes full of mockery.
I can't help but feel smug; mainlanders are just naive and rich!
They were naturally happy to have received so much money for no reason.
"100,000 yuan is just for fun," He Junlin said, standing on Gu Tingyun's side.
Another woman remarked sourly, "Miss Chen really does whatever she wants. It's different when someone pampers you."
The implication in her words was that she was arrogant and spoiled.
Everyone else was happy to watch the show.
Helian Jiao didn't care what they said, because the little princess was just like that, doing whatever she wanted.
Gu Tingyun unexpectedly responded, "As long as my darling is happy, it doesn't matter how much money it costs."
They're incredibly wealthy and powerful!
Everyone around was envious!
The horse racing commentator continued, "Number nine is currently in the lead, with numbers eight and seven close behind. There are only two laps left. Who will be today's champion? Number nine is currently the favorite to win, and it has lived up to expectations, maintaining a commanding lead. Meanwhile, the former champion, number five, has been... wait, what's going on?"
