The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!
Chapter 20 Qiongqi Hydrangea Performance
The so-called private room was just a small area separated by screens, which could not block the enthusiastic cheers from the gambling house.
Mu Luan had never been to such a crowded and noisy place before, and she felt a little nervous. She reached out and pulled the brim of her hat down a little, trying to keep only her eyes visible.
She stood by the railing, blinking and looking towards the first floor.
The informant said that Qiao Yuanan was on the first floor. Mu Luan didn't expect that this gambling house looked small from the outside and seemed only as big as the entrance.
But after entering, I was surprised to find that this place is a different world. There are no less than a hundred people playing chess on the first floor.
Some were thinking while playing chess, some were shouting angrily, some were blushing and howling at the sky, and some had already stood up to argue and quarrel...
What a chaotic scene.
"Miss, look there," Yun He lowered his voice and pointed to the left front of Mu Luan.
In that corner, there were two people sitting, one gray and one white.
The person in gray clothes with a blue ribbon tied on his head is Qiao Yuanan!
He looked extremely excited and made several quick moves in succession. It seemed that his luck was good today.
Looking at the man in white opposite him, his brows were furrowed, as if Qiao Yuanan was destined to lose this game if he continued to go smoothly.
After a short while, the man in white suddenly smiled happily, and he looked a lot more relaxed as he made his moves, as if something had taken a turn for the better.
And that was indeed the fact. Qiao Yuanan had a hard time moving forward. The chess piece in his hand took a long time to drop, and his other hand made a few empty moves on the chessboard, as if he was looking for a way out.
Mu Luan observed for a while but didn't see anything suspicious about the man in white.
After staring for a long time and seeing no sign of Qiao Yuanan leaving, Mu Luan couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her swollen eyes.
Is gambling chess really that fun? It could make Qiao Yuanan, like his father, deeply addicted to it.
To her, it was really boring.
Seeing how excited Qiao Yuanan is, I'm afraid it won't end in a short time.
"Miss, please sit down. I'll be watching you," Yun He said at the right time, pointing to the chair next to the carved railing.
I was completely focused on Qiao Yuanan just now, and now that I have come back to my senses, I feel a little tired.
Mu Luan didn't try to show off, he just brushed his clothes and sat down.
The gambling house was always warmer than the snowy day outside because of the burning charcoal.
This gambling house is three stories high.
But the third floor is completely closed and no unusual movement can be seen.
A layer of bead curtain is set on the outer edge of the top of the second floor, and warm light shines down from above.
Therefore, people on the second floor can clearly see the situation downstairs, but people downstairs cannot clearly see the situation upstairs.
The furnishings on the first floor were very simple. Apart from the necessary tables and chairs for playing chess, there was nothing else and there was no extra spacious space.
The second floor is different. Not only does it have a private room, but it also has a stove for making tea. Smoke rises from the kitchen, and if you ignore the complicated sounds, it feels like playing chess.
And when I went upstairs just now, I saw a sign at the entrance of the stairs, which stated the rules for going up to the second floor.
One hundred taels for a private room!
Mu Luan sneered, how greedy!
No wonder Qiao Yuanan was on the first floor. With the one hundred taels, he might as well play two more rounds on the first floor.
Mu Luan was looking at the structure of the gambling house alone, when suddenly a rough and foul curse came from the next door, "Damn it, I lost again, are you trying to cheat me..."
This voice...why does it sound familiar?
Mu Luan frowned slightly and couldn't help but move her hood back to expose some of her ears.
Then the man called "boy" on the other side said in a trembling voice: "Brother, I wouldn't dare to do that even if you gave me hundreds of guts."
As he spoke, Mu Luan heard him push the table again, and there was the sound of stones colliding.
The boy added: "Consider these as my honor to you."
"You know what's going on!"
Mu Luan listened and thought that the "big brother" seemed satisfied this time, but the violent voice sounded more and more familiar.
The elder brother left some silver for the boy and said as if giving alms: "You are a smart boy. Why don't you take this money and gamble with me?"
The boy thought to himself: What a bullshit bet, damn it, in the end it will all go into your big guy's pocket.
But he smiled and said, "No more gambling, no more gambling. How can I gamble better than you, big brother?"
The eldest brother was not happy about this. He slammed the table, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the floor. He then shouted at the top of his voice: "I haven't even told you what to bet on yet, and you don't want to bet? Do you look down on me?"
The boy was startled and quickly squatted to pick up the chess piece, saying flatteringly, "Then, big brother, what do you want to bet on?"
The eldest brother was relieved now. He hooked his finger at him and said, "We're going to put the meatball into the arena later. Let's bet on how long the meatball can last. I bet it'll take a cup of tea. What about you?"
The boy bent over, smiled and waved his hands, blurting out: "Impossible, I bet that in just a moment, with that creature's bite force, that meat ball won't be enough to fill its teeth!"
The eldest brother lowered his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and said, "Okay, then you bet on a moment, and I bet on a cup of tea. If a moment passes but less than a cup of tea, I win, and if a cup of tea passes, we're even. How do you say that?"
The boy smiled stiffly, realizing that he had been fooled, but could only nod slowly, wishing he could jump up and beat him to death.
Over the years, very few people have been willing to gamble for even a moment, because that guy is very playful and usually has to toss the meat ball around for three or four times before swallowing it.
What's the difference between betting and not betting? In the end he will lose, and he will at most be unscathed.
At this moment, a delicate figure behind the screen suddenly trembled.
Mu Luan had never intended to eavesdrop, she just felt that the voice was familiar, and it was really familiar...
She recognized that it was the person who chased Jun Zhao and shouted for killing that day, and was also the one who dragged Jun Zhao away later.
Through the gap between the screens, she could clearly see the ferocious and rough face.
Mu Luan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Miss, come quickly," Yun He called Mu Luan.
Mu Luan raised his hand to pat his restless heart, took a breath, and walked towards the carved railing.
When she looked towards the first floor, Qiao Yuanan had already stood up, as if he was about to leave.
Yun He pointed to a place about ten feet in front of Qiao Yuanan's right, and said solemnly, "This person just stuffed something into Qiao Yuanan's body when he passed by him just now."
"What are you waiting for? Let's catch up with him," Mu Luan turned around and was about to leave the private room, but at this moment there was a sudden commotion on the second floor.
The manager of the gambling house shouted, "Everyone, the monthly Qiongqi Hydrangea Show is about to begin!"
"A new round of gambling is about to begin. In a moment, a cup of tea, or a quarter of an hour, you can only choose one of the three options. This is a rare opportunity. Hurry up and place your bets."
I don't know where the sound came from. It feels quite empty, mysterious, yet makes people's blood boil.
