Chapter 280 – FLNC Ch.280 Gambling (4)

Even though it was already December, the temperature on the island was still lukewarm. A table was set up in front of the colorful beach, filled with low-calorie treats.

Tuantuan was wearing a small floral bikini, kneeling on her dining chair and muttering, “Papa, you’re so petty. Are you feeding Tuantuan grass?”

“Did you forget what the doctor said?” Lin Yueqi sighed, seemingly not having slept well. “If you want to be healthy, then you have to eat grass. No fish, no meat, and no randomly stuffing deserts into your mouth either.”

Tuantuan pouted. “Okay…”

She hardly slept all of last night, so just after taking two bites of her food, her head fell to the table with a “bang”, and she fell asleep.

Lin Yueqi, “…”

She nudged Lu Ting. “Old Lu, your daughter can even fall asleep while eating. Amazing.’

“Ahem.”

Lu Ting wiped his mouth with a napkin, and Butler Jin who was standing servicing them during the meal carried Tuantuan up and said quietly, “Sir, Miss Lin, I will look after your daughter for you. You can visit the casino later to take a look.”

“Casino? I’m not a gambler,” Lin Yueqi said.

Lu Ting, “The casino on the island is also one of its unique scenic spots. I’ll take you there to take a look, and you can also try making a small bet.”

“Sure.”

Around seven o’clock in the evening.

Lu Ting took LIn Yueqi to Mara Island Casino, which had four floors.

The first floor was for visitors to tour around or make small bets, while the second floor was for bets starting at 10 million, the third floor starts at 50 million, while the fourth floor starts at 100 million. Lu Ting took Lin Yueqi directly to the fourth floor in the VIP elevator.

As soon as they arrived on the fourth floor, they saw a male actor being dragged out of a room.

The actor’s face was pale, his body covered in sweat, both his legs were weak, and his eyes looked empty as if he was in shock while being dragged out by the staff.

Lin Yueqi looked at the actor and asked in a whisper, “What’s going on?”

The staff member who took them upstairs was a woman called Lucy. She was wearing a qipao and had a beautiful face and figure. Each and every move she took was done in elegance.

Holding a folding fan in hand, she gently waved the fan, explaining, “He just lost 200 million in the casino. Of course his legs will turn weak.”

“200 million? Even if I’m sold off, I wouldn’t be able to pay back that much money!” Lin Yueqi only owned a few properties and had less than 100 million in cash. Even her supermarkets and other properties and cars only added up to almost 200 million. Truly, poverty has limited her imagination. She was probably the most ignorant person in the entertainment industry.

Lin Yueqi gulped and said, “What happens if he can’t afford to pay it back?”

Hearing Lin Yueqi’s words, Lucy explained, “Ordinary people can’t come to this floor. For people of his standing, he’s sure to be able to repay it with some hard work. With his current income, it can be paid off in about seven or eight years. But of course, if he owes money to the casino, then he doesn’t necessarily have to pay the debt. Our boss likes to keep hold of the weaknesses of others.”

Lin Yueqi knew who the boss she was talking about was. It was the legendary “Mr. Si” who was not only young and handsome, but also rich.

Looking at the honest man beside her, she actually had the illusion of “how in the world did Lu Ting become the protagonist”. From what she’d heard of this Mr. Si, he seemed even more domineering than Old Lu here.

Lin Yueqi was so shocked that her legs went weak, and she had to pull on Lu Ting to support herself. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered, “Let’s just go to the first floor to broaden our horizons. Losing a few million is already enough to make my heart and liver hurt, much less a hundred million? That’s ridiculous.”

“The view on the fourth floor is the best. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”

“If I lose that much money then I wouldn’t even be in the mood to look at the scenery, no matter how nice.”

Lucy smiled and said to them, “Please don’t worry, Miss Lin. We can send you 200 million worth of chips.”
