How the Queen is made

Yanjing Cheng is the most sought-after young tycoon in Xijiang, and he has always known that Gu Mingzhu is not a good person.

But he never expected that one day he would love her to the core, wishing he could give her everything, even his life... —One day after marriage— Yanjing Cheng tore up the divorce agreement with a grim expression, his gaze coldly fixed on the woman in front of him. "Huh, divorce? Don't even think about it!" Gu Mingzhu was stunned. "But you promised me..." Yanjing Cheng loosened his tie, a cold smile playing on his lips as he threw her onto the bed. "I changed my mind." Gu Mingzhu pushed away his kiss, furious. "You have no shame!" He chuckled. "What's the use of shame when I have you?" ... Everyone thought Yanjing Cheng was cold and noble, but only Gu Mingzhu knew that he was nothing but a despicable hypocrite, a wolf in sheep's clothing! No matter what hardships you have endured, there will always be someone willing to brave the storms to love you.

Chapter 33:Reaping What You Sow

The surroundings were eerily silent. Yang Shihao's lecherous gaze swept over Gu Mingzhu from top to bottom, "Miss Gu, why don't you take off your clothes?"

He wanted to see if this 'little vixen' could still smile after that!

Before he could relish Gu Mingzhu's reaction, Yang Shihao's attention was again drawn to the more than two billion chips in front of her.

In Blackjack, the payout ratio was 1:2. So, not only had he won back the one billion he lost earlier, but he had also won an extra billion from Gu Mingzhu. This was worth all the years he had spent working hard for the Gu family!

At the thought, Yang Shihao felt his heart racing, blood boiling, and his eyes reddening with uncontrollable excitement.

Seeing his reaction, a smile appeared on Gu Mingzhu's lips as she calmly said, "Mr. Yang, if you want me to take off my clothes, you'll have to win against me first."

Yang Shihao furrowed his brows, forcing himself to look away from the chips, and snapped, "Gu Mingzhu, with so many people as witnesses, do you intend to cheat?"

Gu Mingzhu remained unmoved, leaning back and watching him quietly with a slight smile on her lips, showing no signs of panic.

Yang Shihao felt something was off. He looked around and realized the entire casino was in silence, with onlookers watching him quietly.

Instead of the anticipated excitement and jealousy, the eyes looking at him were filled with doubt and pity. Some even shook their heads in disappointment.

A sense of unease crept into Yang Shihao's heart. He thought maybe he had been caught cheating, but then he reconsidered; the reactions didn't seem right for that.

Confused, he tried to ask what was going on.

However, before he could turn his head, Gu Mingzhu looked at him with a smirk and said, "Mr. Yang, are you getting old and mistaking a 6 for a 10, thinking you've got a Blackjack?"

"What... What did you say?" Yang Shihao was stunned for a few seconds, then instinctively looked at the two cards in front of him.

On the table, besides an Ace, there was only a 6!

"How... How is this possible?" Yang Shihao's pupils contracted in shock.

It couldn't be! He had definitely swapped that 6 for a 10. How could it still be a 6?

Yang Shihao rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the card on the table remained a 6.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but smile.

Someone finally broke the silence, "Has Yang Shihao lost his mind? Mistaking a 6 for a 10!"

"Exactly! Dreaming that he had a Blackjack! Didn't even see the cards clearly."

"Ah, he must be in shock. He's probably lost everything now!"

"Looks like he's going to streak in the casino. Truly reaping what he sowed."

People started gossiping.

With a cold look in her eyes, Gu Mingzhu smiled, "Mr. Yang's 16 points are less than my 20 points. Looks like you've lost."

Yang Shihao was furious, muttering, "It's impossible... Impossible!"

After a moment, he stood up abruptly, glaring at Gu Mingzhu, "It's you! You must've cheated! My card was clearly the 10 of spades before, you must've cheated!"

Gu Mingzhu smiled, looking somewhat wronged, "With so many eyes watching, Mr. Yang, do you really think I could cheat?"

Yang Shihao was speechless.

But he couldn't figure out why the card he had swapped had changed back.
