Chapter 20: Might Need Fourth Young Master's Help

"My stomach's acting up, can't get up, might need Fourth Young Master to carry me~" Gu Mingzhu responded softly, afraid of angering him. But with her earnest tone came an inexplicable coquettishness, sounding like she was flirting.

Yan Jingcheng's eyes darkened, letting out a cold laugh, "Seems like you're still drunk."

"I..."

Before Gu Mingzhu could finish her sentence, the call was already disconnected, replaced by a dial tone.

Angered, Gu Mingzhu threw her phone onto the dressing table and cursed Yan Jingcheng's ancestors several generations back to vent her frustration.

On the other side, after ending the call, Yan Jingcheng said in a deep voice, "Chen Qing."

Secretary Chen Qing quickly entered the room, "Fourth Young Master."

"Tell Qingya to prepare, pick her up at six."

"Yes."

After Chen Qing left the room, Yan Jingcheng pressed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his gaze cold.

Tonight, there was a game at the casino, and he needed to bring a woman along.

Previously, he usually brought Qingya, but this woman seemed to have developed some inappropriate feelings recently.

At dusk, half-past six.

Gu Mingzhu wore a salmon-colored evening gown and arrived at the largest entertainment city in Xijiang City—Royal Entertainment City.

The entire entertainment city covered over ten thousand square meters, housing various entertainment facilities and renowned as Xijiang's golden land for spending.

The bottom two floors were bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues. Above were several floors of an international shopping mall. The top two floors, the purpose of Gu Mingzhu's visit, housed the only legal casino in Xijiang—Royal Casino.

Glancing around, Gu Mingzhu easily spotted Xu Xingbai sitting at a gambling table, eyes red from excitement.

Xu Xingbai sported fiery big waves in her hair, wearing the latest black deep-V dress, adorned with a dazzling diamond wristwatch, and next to her was a limited edition bag worth a small villa. She was sexy and flamboyant.

With freshly manicured golden nails, it was almost like she had 'I'm wealthy' written across her face, making it hard to ignore her.

Gu Mingzhu sat beside her and greeted softly, "Xiao Bai."

Xu Xingbai tilted her chin toward the opposite direction, "He's over there."

Following her gaze, Gu Mingzhu saw a man in his thirties sitting diagonally across. He was decent-looking, but his skinny stature made him less imposing. Years of gambling had left dark circles under his eyes, detracting from his appearance.

This man was none other than Yang Shihao, the biological brother of her stepmother Yang Huiru.

Over the years, Yang Huiru had schemed against her, often using him. Especially during the years after her mother's accident, she had suffered losses because of this pair.

Seeing his flushed face and the towering stack of chips in front of him, Gu Mingzhu commented, "He's having good luck."

Xu Xingbai was irritated, "Good luck? More like unbelievably lucky!"

As they spoke, a new round of betting began.

Xu Xingbai and Yang Shihao were at a baccarat table, where players could bet on the banker, player, or tie. The side with the total closest to nine wins. If both sides have the same score, it's a tie.

"What will Miss Xu bet on? Let us know in advance. I'm sure everyone will win if we bet against you!" Yang Shihao taunted Xu Xingbai, eliciting laughter from the others.
