19 Everything Good Had Been Given to Him

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

She only managed to catch a serious, clear look at him this very moment, but it was enough to give her some insight into his character.

Not a single hair was out of place. His eyebrows were so long they almost reached his sideburns. A pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes accentuated the high, chiseled bridge of his nose and the firm line of his thin, unfeeling lips.

Even the lower contours of his jawline were perfect.

Indeed, the heavens had favored him with many gifts. Everything good had been given to him.

It was precisely a person like this who exuded an incomparable aura that could destroy heaven and earth!

Such a man was too perfect and too dangerous!

Bai Ran could feel her heart race merely by sizing him up in silence.

As expected, he was a remarkable man...

Just when Bai Ran became enraptured by Quan Rui, he had already placed his bet. When he turned his head back to look at Bai Ran, he noticed her looking at him as if in a daze.

In a rare moment of mischief, Quan Rui nuzzled closer to her and smiled wickedly, "What's up? Have you already fallen for me?"

Quan Rui's evil voice dragged Bai Ran out of her fantasy and back to reality. She threw him a dirty look before she looked away quickly and anxiously, fearing that Quan Rui would sense her oddity.

"Don't be so smug. I'm just waiting to see how you will lose. You actually dared to bet fifty million dollars when you didn't even look at your cards. Are you crazy?"

"Didn't you already look at them on my behalf?" Quan Rui threw the question back at her in a self-righteous tone of voice

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment. I did look at the cards, but what does that have to do with him?

When it was Meng Fan's turn, it was clear that he was struggling slightly.

He found it rather hard to guess Quan Rui's tactics now.

He didn't even look at his cards, so why did he have the guts to bet fifty million dollars? Could it be that money meant nothing to him? Or was something else going on?

Besides, didn't the woman in his arms say earlier that his cards were terrible? Was it just a show then?

Meng Fan's shifty eyes flitted back and forth between Bai Ran and Quan Rui continuously in an attempt to pick up on any clues. He was visibly perplexed.

"I'll follow!" Meng Fan gritted his teeth and pushed his fifty million dollars worth of chips out.

Jiang Hao passed on the round.

He had a bad hand too, but if he were to give up now, it would be extremely embarrassing for him.

After the three players expressed their stance, the dealer knocked on the table and added more cards.

The fourth card, which was to be shown to the public, was dealt out. It was the jack of diamonds.

With this as well as the three open cards from before, there was a jack of hearts, a ten of spades, a king of spades, and a jack of diamonds.

There was already a pair of cards among the four cards (the pair composed of of a jack of hearts and a jack of diamonds).

Meng Fan became excited the moment the fourth card was dealt and threw down sixty million dollars.

"I'm raising my bet by sixty million!"

Meng Fan raised his brows high and flashed Jiang Hao a smile. Jiang Hao immediately understood his intentions and discarded his cards.

Before the round of gambling began, Jiang Hao and Meng Fan had already come to an agreement that the party whose cards were higher in value would signal to the other party whose card value was lower and that the party would discard his cards.

Bai Ran sensitively picked up on the exchange in looks between Meng Fan and Jiang Hao. She gave a disdainful, cold snort. "Rely on your own abilities if you are truly capable. If you're not, please don't embarrass yourself."

Bai Ran was one who would hold onto grudges. Her mother was severely ill, and the Jiang Family had even cut off all funding for her school fees. She had pleaded with her supposed legal second brother, but he couldn't bother to look her in the eye. She was on her own.

Bai Ran had never had a good impression of these people.

After Bai Ran spoke her mind, Jiang Hao and Meng Fan froze. While some of the onlookers had not understood what Bai Ran was referring to, others were seasoned players. Though they did not detect anything shady at the beginning, they quickly caught on after Bai Ran pointed it out, and they began to criticize Jiang Hao and Meng Fan behind their backs.
