Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Not the Least Bit Flustered
But Nianyang thought it over and over, and currently, apart from Jiang Huan, all the white lotuses that needed to be dealt with had been taken care of, right?
Logically speaking, there shouldnât be any more enemies, except for that old enemy from the Chu Family.
But that should have nothing to do with the Jade King, right?
The Jade King curved his lips into a smile that wasnât quite a smile, and his voice grew even lower,
"Letâs bet on who the ruby will end up with tonight. If I cut out a ruby, then you have to be my assistant for three months, at my disposal. What do you think?"
Nianyang was stunned. She truly hadnât expected the Jade King to propose such a stake. Isnât this too strange?
By normal logic, she wasnât familiar with the Jade King nor did she know him, so the Jade Kingâs reason for betting with her must be for his own benefit.
Normally, people would use money as the stake, but the Jade King wants her to be his assistant???
Nianyang didnât think she had offended the Jade King, so the only explanation was that the Jade King definitely knew her.
Narrowing her eyes, Nianyang was about to speak when Jiang Huan jumped in,
"Since itâs a bet, why not make it bigger? If you lose, you pay for the jade stone I buy. Conversely, if I lose, Iâll pay for the jade stone you buy, regardless of the price. Do you dare?"
Whoa!
Everyone gasped!
The stakes are enormous; itâs practically pushing someone to a dead end!
In such a gamble, the winner earns a fortune, while the loser might not be able to pay even if they sold themselves!
Considering the exorbitant prices of jade stones, even the most ordinary ones cost hundreds of thousands. Itâs imaginable that a stone containing a ruby would surely be worth millions.
Whoever wins in the end, the other side will suffer a severe loss. The key is you spent a ton of money, but it becomes a dowry for the other party.
The Jiang Family has the backing of the He Family, along with the Jade King on their side, while the Ruan Family has nothing, just a little girl.
This kind of bet where the outcome is obvious, who would agree to it?
Just when everyone thought Nianyang would refuse, who knew she didnât even think about it and nodded.
"Okay, I agree!"
What the hell!
She actually agreed!
She must be out of her mind!
The crowd looked at her as if she had an intellectual disability, feeling deeply sympathetic for the Ruan Family. You might expect just hiring a girl to gamble on stones to end with losing their entire investment and being laughed at, but this girl seems to have issues with her brain too. Now youâre not just going to be laughed at but will end up with your whole family in debt.
Alas, it seems that after today, the Ruan Family will cease to exist.
Ruan Jinhua couldnât hold it in and shouted, "Hey! Who let you recklessly gamble with them? Do you want to kill our family?"
Ruan Weidong coldly warned, "Shut up! I said today, we all have to listen to Nianyang, not a word more!"
"But Dad, weâre going to lose everything. Donât go crazy!"
Ruan Jinhua was about to lose his mind. He didnât trust Nianyangâs stone gambling skills at all, and now theyâve gotten into such a big bet. Itâs forcing the Ruan Family into a dead end!
"I told you to shut up, so shut up! Donât cause trouble. Say one more word, and you can get out!"
Ruan Weidong said expressionlessly. Although his heart was trembling over this stake, seeing Nianyang so calm and unperturbed made him think back to when he first met Nianyang.
