Xia Weilan lifted her head in astonishment. She thought all this was nothing but an accident. She never expected that all this was part of Ouyang Mingqi’s scheme.
Looking at Xia Weilan’s expression, Mo Beichen said to An Shan, “Bring him to see me.”
Nan Fengyan was confused, “Mo-ge, what’s wrong? What had Ouyang Mingqi done? This guy is really annoying. Why don’t we find someone to teach him a lesson? Let’s throw him off the ship!”
Mo Beichen said faintly, “Return to the VIP room first, I’ll take care of it.”
In the VIP room, An Shan brought Ouyang Mingqi over by force. However, he looked calm and collected, as if he was just coming to join a party hosted by his friends.
“President Mo really showed some magnificent hospitality for this invitation and it’s really hard for me to turn down such an invitation.” Ouyang Mingqi looked at the people in front of him.
He ignored everyone’s unpleasant stares and sat down across Mo Beichen.
“President Mo, don’t tell me that you’re inviting me over to play cards?” Ouyang Mingqi swept his gaze across Xia Weilan before looking at Mo Beichen.
Ouyang Mingqi was a little annoyed. He really hated to look at Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan appearing lovey-dovey together. Especially after he’d done so much for Xia Weilan, he felt even more irritated.
“Since you’re here, let’s bet on something big. If I lose, I won’t interfere with any business related to Ouyang’s Family in the next six months.” Mo Beichen’s sharp eyes flashed. He was enveloped with a superior aura.
“Oh?” Ouyang Mingqi’s eyes lit up. He looked at Mo Beichen shrewdly, “What if I lose?”
Since it is a bet, there must be wins and losses.
“What bargaining chip do you have to gamble with me?” Mo Beichen stared at him indifferently.
Ouyang Mingqi found Mo Beichen’s superiority overwhelming. He narrowed his eyes, refusing to show any sign of weakness, he said in a deep voice, “I’ll bet for two billion!”
Mo Beichen smirked playfully. He didn’t expect Ouyang Mingqi to have such courage, so he said, “Let’s start the game!”
When he said the words, the dealer came over and began to shuffle the cards.
The reason for having fun on the cruise ship is that many activities on the cruise ship are allowed; that includes gambling freely when you’re away from the coast.
The dealer distributed the cards.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the two people playing against each other at the table.
Xia Weilan subconsciously clenched her fist. She certainly hoped that Mo Beichen would win, but because gambling depends on luck as well, it left her feeling a little worried.
Although Ouyang Mingqi looked calm, he was actually feeling nervous. He reached out his hand to reveal his deck and saw that the cards in front of him were a 9 and a 6, totaling 15 points.
He gritted his teeth and asked for another card. If the total points are greater than 21, he will lose the game.
The probability of winning is fifty-fifty.
On the other hand, Mo Beichen never took a glance at his deck but stared at Ouyang Mingqi coldly as he watched him pick up his third card.
Ouyang Mingqi looked at Mo Beichen calmly, “President Mo, it’s your turn.”
Mo Beichen smirked, “I can beat you without looking at the cards.”
“You’re really arrogant!!” Ouyang Mingqi was a little furious.
“That’s because I have the right quality to be arrogant, isn’t it? You must be aware that the Mo Family has a wide business circle. I am not even concerned about that little business resource.” He suddenly revealed the cards in front of him.
It’s a 4 and a 10. Totaling to 14 points.
Xia Weilan widened her eyes and frowned subconsciously.
Ouyang Mingqi also frowned. He revealed the cards in front of him. It was 24 points, which was over 21 points. He lost.
He sighed heavily, secretly cursing at Mo Beichen’s good luck.
“I lost.” Ouyang Mingqi said in a deep voice, “I’ll get someone to transfer 2 billion to you immediately.”
Although Ouyang Mingqi was a big spender, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel pain across his heart. 2 billion is equivalent to the company’s annual profit and it vanished just like that. He’s worried that he will be mocked by his family after this.
They will say, “Ouyang Mingqi, look what you’ve done, ever since you took over the company..”
They will say, “It’s true that the Ouyang’s family really has no successors. It’s destined that the company will go downhill in the hands of Ouyang Mingqi.”
A rich young master who has been placed high hopes since childhood was trained as an heir since childhood. He learned all the best skills, and his grades were outstanding. At first, he thought that he could lead the company toward a glorious path after taking over. However, there’s a person called Mo Beichen in this world.
Mo Beichen had better vision than him.
Mo Beichen had a wider social network than him.
Whenever Mo Beichen is around, Ouyang Mingqi bumps into hardship everywhere.
Ouyang Mingqi couldn’t help but turn pale. He looked at Mo Beichen unwillingly. Why is it that Mo Beichen even has better luck than himself?.
“Why? Are you not satisfied with the outcome? If so, we can continue to gamble. The same rule applies. As long as you have something that you can put on the table, I’ll gamble with you.” Mo Beichen said indifferently.
Ouyang Mingqi’s cell phone rang. It was his father who called.
Ouyang Mingqi’s expression changed and he walked to the side to pick up the call. As soon as the call was connected, he heard his father scolded, “Why did you withdraw so much from the company? What have you done?”
He hung up the phone. Ouyang Mingqi walked back with a hideous face, “Sorry, I still have something to do. Goodbye, we shall meet again next time..”
After that, Ouyang Mingqi walked out.
Mo Beichen didn’t give him a hard time. He was well aware of Ouyang Mingqi’s status in the Ouyang family. And he also knew how depressed Ouyang Mingqi was at this moment.
“This is awesome, I bet he was scolded by his old man. Haha, he fled with his tail between his leg.” Nan Fengyan gloated and laughed delightfully.
After that, both of them went back to their rooms to rest because it was already very late.
The ship will sail freely around the sea and dock at the pier in Beijing tomorrow morning.
“Are you relieved now?” Mo Beichen asked Xia Weilan while they lay on the bed in their room. He stared at her side profile and let out a smile.
“Uh-huh. I’m in a good mood now.” Xia Weilan blinked and she indeed looked a lot merrier.
Mo Beichen couldn’t help but stare tenderly at her.
He leaned forward and planted a kiss on Xia Weilan’s forehead, gently hugging her to sleep.
He didn’t touch her as he remembered that she is still seasick.
“It’s almost time for school to reopen, right?,” Mo Beichen asked suddenly.
“Yeah. It’s next Friday.” Xia Weilan whispered softly. Because of the seasickness, she was a little exhausted. She fell asleep very quickly.
Meanwhile.
Nan Fengyan received a call from Rui Li. However, she didn’t say anything after the call was connected. Nan Fengyan could only hear some rustling noise on the other end of the line.
He got nervous, and immediately went out of the room and knocked on Rui Li’s door.
“Rui Li are you all right?”
