In the subtly charged atmosphere of the card room, Chi Mu Jiu's gaze inevitably fell upon the golden-haired women. She had previously been puzzled as to why there was no shuffling machine in such a high-end establishment as Du Heng Yan's, but in that moment, it seemed she finally understood.
She secretly mused to herself, Ah, so he came here to admire the beauties.
As if sensing her thoughts, Du Heng Yan leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "I can tell your eyes haven't strayed. Just because you don't see a shuffling machine doesn't mean there isn't one. Besides, these are gold-plated cards; wouldn't it be a pity if they got damaged?"
Chi Mu Jiu: ?! Enlightened!!
The game began, and Pei Jin politely gestured, "Ladies first."
Chi Mu Jiu remained unhurried, a calm smile gracing her face. "Every guest is welcome; hospitality must be upheld. Please, go ahead."
Pei Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, surprise flickering in his eyes at her words.
Then he spoke up, "In that case, I’ll go first. The opening bet is five million."
As soon as Pei Jin finished speaking, the stunning golden-haired woman beside him added chips worth five million into the central pot.
Chi Mu Jiu calculated her next move and showed no hesitation. It wouldn’t be so easy to intimidate her right from the start.
With a slight lift of her chin and an air of calm confidence, she raised the bet. "Ten million."
Her tone was steady, and she wore an expression of unwavering composure, not even glancing at her cards.
The sound of chips clinking echoed once more in the pot.
Pei Jin and the other two players exchanged glances, somewhat perplexed by Chi Mu Jiu's strategy.
How could she raise such a large amount without even looking at her cards?
Pei Jin narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Madam, you truly have great resolve. Then I shall raise it by ten million more."
Chi Mu Jiu spoke without hesitation, adding to her bet. Her demeanor suggested that she had an endless supply of money; winning or losing was of no concern to her, as long as she was having fun.
Nearby, Du Heng and his subordinates were puzzled, wondering why their lady was so focused on betting without even glancing at the cards.
Pei Jin's inquisitive gaze fell on Chi Mu Jiu, who responded with a beaming smile, as if indicating that it was now his turn to play.
Reluctantly, Pei Jin withdrew his gaze. "Let’s warm up for the first round, Madam. Please reveal the cards."
He gestured for her to proceed, and the blonde dealer next to him laid out two cards before him.
In the card room, the atmosphere shifted from tense to filled with suspense. All eyes were fixed on the table.
One card showed a Club, and the other a Heart, displayed for everyone to see.
The blonde dealer announced in fluent Chinese, "The total points are nineteen, with the Club doubling. The opposing player must pay an additional seven million in chips."
In this game, Clubs indeed held the highest value and came with special rules; the player holding a Club not only added to their points but also compelled their opponent to pay chips corresponding to the doubled points of the Club.
Mr. Pei had good fortune with his cards, starting off with a Club. "Then please reveal the cards," he said.
Chi Mu Jiu's voice was calm and steady, showing no signs of anxiety.
Another blonde dealer cautiously revealed her cards beside Chi Mu Jiu. The first card was a Diamond, followed by a Club.
A hush fell over the room before gasps of astonishment erupted.
