3 Something That Was of Greater Interest to Him

"This is Meng Fan, the famed King of Poker! He's won countless competitions." Jiang Hao became agitated as he spoke. It was Jiang Hao's nature to enjoy life and gambling, so he considered Meng Fan a perfect match when they first became acquainted.

He especially admired Meng Fan's skills at card games.

As Quan Rui listened, he glanced casually at the flamboyantly dressed supposed King of Poker, who sported a few feathers on his suit shoulder and lapel.

Quan Rui didn't usually like to sit with such ostentatious people.

At the same time, Meng Fan was watching Quan Rui. When their eyes met, a cloud of mutual dislike seemed to hang over the two men.

"I haven't touched these in a long time…" Quan Rui was about to turn Jiang Hao down, but before he could finish his sentence, a lady stood up beside him and gazed at him fervently.

"Rui, just play one round with us, all right? Second Brother especially invited Meng Fan for your sake," she implored.

Quan Rui glanced sideways at her; as he did so, there was a slight change in his expression.

Without a word, he took his seat at the spot that Jiang Hao had just offered him.

When Jiang Hao saw Quan Rui sitting down, he laughed and said, "As expected, brother-in-law will agree readily when Eldest Sister makes the request."

There was nothing that Jiang Hao cared about more when he fooled around.

Quan Rui gave a barely noticeable frown when he heard the words "brother-in-law."

The lady who spoke earlier was Jiang Bangyuan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family and the one with whom Quan Rui had a prenatal marriage agreement.

Although Quan Rui had no feelings for Jiang Bangyuan, the marriage agreement had been fixed by his father.

In the eyes of the onlookers, however, his cooperation just now was interpreted as a display of affection.

"Quick, look! Master Quan, who has Sanjiang City eating out of the palm of his hand, is actually a tender and passionate man who obeys his wife!"

"Yeah! The Quan Family's wealth is almost immeasurable. I heard they have enough to buy out half the earth. Now that they're going to have a political marriage with the Jiang Family, it seems as if they'll be abusing their power to have things their way now!"

"Tsk tsk! Jiang Bangyuan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, also exudes the aura of a celebrity. Look how beautiful she is!"

The bystanders enjoyed gossiping, and their remarks conveniently helped add fuel to the fire, which brought the party to life.

Quan Rui, Meng Fan, Jiang Hao, and Jiang Bangyuan sat around the oval casino table.

A pretty lady croupier wearing a low-cut dress with ample cleavage sat across the four of them. In layman terms, she was the dealer.

After the four individuals took their seats, the round of gambling began in earnest.

"There's no limit to the bet for today's poker match. The cap is a hundred million. The big and small blinds are one million and two million." As the dealer explained the rules, she took one glance at the four people seated across from her before she continued, "The big blind and small blind may place your bets."

After the dealer said this, Jiang Bangyuan and Jiang Hao put their chips down.

After both parties placed their bets, the dealer dealt the cards.

She dealt the cards in order from left to right, and each player received two cards each.

Jiang Hao was the first to look at his cards. He frowned with a rather ugly expression.

Jiang Bangyuan also looked at her cards. By comparison, she appeared relaxed. She only came to keep them company today, so there was no need for her to be too serious.

Only Quan Rui and Meng Fan did not look at their cards.

Quan Rui's attention was never focused on the game at the casino table. It was just a game, and he never took it seriously.

At the moment, something of greater interest was occupying his attention.

Quan Rui realized that if he discreetly looked past the crowd and turned his head slightly, he could fix his eyes on the girl on the lawn.

She was still there.

It seemed that she hadn't yet found the object she was searching for.

Her bright, calm, and crystal clear eyes would always linger in his mind unwittingly.
