Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 151 Coughed Up Blood

For Chen Xiaobei, who was not one to let go of grudges, there was no way he would let Song Chengdong off the hook. But giving someone a hard time did not necessarily have to involve fists. Since Song Chengdong loved to gamble, Chen Xiaobei would tempt him, lead him down the rabbit hole, and ultimately make it impossible for him to ever recover. This was far more effective than simply beating him up.

"Wow! That girl is so lucky, isn’t she? She just won a hundred thousand yuan in one go?"

"Could she really be blessed by the Goddess of Luck?"

"There’s no need to overanalyze it. She’s only won a single round."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and it had to be said, everyone was looking at Xia Xue with shimmering eyes. Turning ten thousand yuan into a hundred thousand was a rare sight at Ting Yu Xuan. Even Xia Xue herself was getting excited, never expecting her luck to be this good.

Despite this, Xia Xue was not feeling particularly addicted and simply suggested, "Xiaobei, let’s go. Winning a hundred thousand is more than enough!"

"Why leave?" Chen Xiaobei shook his head vigorously. "Sister Xia, you’re on a lucky streak right now. Trust me, keep betting, and I guarantee you’ll win even more! Don’t you want to help your father? That’s a huge sum of five million yuan. Let me tell you, I can’t come up with that much money right now, so you’ll have to rely on yourself!"

"Alright then." A trace of helplessness flickered in Xia Xue’s eyes. She placed her entire 100,000 yuan in chips on ’Big’ and declared, "This time, I’m betting on Big again!"

Meanwhile, many of the surrounding gamblers started to follow Xia Xue’s lead and bet on Big. In just half a minute, the chips on the table amounted to nearly a million yuan. If the result was Big again, the casino would have to pay out at a loss.

"Come on, place your final bets! Final bets now!" the beautiful croupier called out. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A croupier like her had undergone years of professional training, her hands capable of shaking out any desired number. Plus, she had a remote control at her disposal. Even if she made a mistake with her hands, she would not have to worry about the wrong result showing. Seeing that the bets on Big had already exceeded a million, she discreetly used the remote to set the dice for a ’Small’ result.

Chen Xiaobei, his Nine Nether Eyes active the entire time, witnessed her changing the outcome. At that same moment, he sent a strand of True Qi into the dice cup, instantly forcing the dice to show ’Big’.

"Since there are no more bets, I’m revealing the results!"

SWISH.

The next second, the beautiful croupier lifted the dice cup.

"Holy shit! Am I seeing things? It’s really Big?"

"Hahaha, we’re rich! We’re rich!"

"Oh my God! This lady’s luck is insane! She hit it again!"

"A true Goddess of Luck! She’s absolutely a Goddess of Luck!"

For a moment, the gamblers at the scene went wild.

The most stunned person of all was the beautiful croupier.

I clearly remember changing the result to Small, so how could it possibly have turned out to be Big when I opened the cup? This is outrageous!

From this single round, the casino would have to pay out two million yuan. But since it had already happened, she dared not say anything more. Besides, two million was pocket change for a place like Ting Yu Xuan. Soon, the croupier paid out the winning chips. Xia Xue’s 100,000 yuan had instantly turned into 500,000.

Xia Xue was completely stunned. As a well-behaved girl, she had never seen so much money in her entire life, let alone acquired it so easily. Some doors to new worlds, once opened, are very hard to close again.

Just like that, energized as if on a stimulant, Xia Xue gritted her teeth and pushed her entire 500,000 yuan in chips onto the ’Small’ betting area. "This round, I’m betting on Small! All in!"

At her words, the gamblers went completely crazy. They all followed her lead, and in no time, the chips on the table swelled by another three million yuan. Of that amount, Song Chengdong had staked 100,000.

As a professional gambler, Song Chengdong was still relatively rational. He had not bet at all in the first two rounds, and for this third round, he did not just blindly follow the crowd. He refused to believe Xia Xue could be this lucky or that she could keep winning every time! But in the next moment, Song Chengdong was left dumbfounded.

"Three... three... two... eight points... Small?" the beautiful croupier stammered, her eyes bloodshot and welling with tears.

I clearly changed the numbers in the dice cup to Big, so why did it still turn out to be Small when I opened it? It makes no sense!

"Hahahaha, awesome! I’m getting rich, I’m rich!"

"This girl really is a Goddess of Luck! Hurry up and follow her bets; the God of Wealth is at your door!"

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and pay out!"

The gamblers’ eyes were also bloodshot as they descended into a frenzy.

Song Chengdong’s face, however, was a mask of gloomy regret. It was all his fault for being too cautious. If he had gone all-in with her, he could have won 1.5 million yuan in that single round. At this moment, as he watched Xia Xue holding a massive 1.5 million in chips, Song Chengdong’s eyes glittered with greed.

"Xiaobei, am I... am I really that lucky? This seems too unreal, doesn’t it?" Xia Xue asked in disbelief, feeling dizzy.

"Sister Xia, didn’t I tell you? You’ve got the Goddess of Luck on your side. Whatever you bet on, you’ll win," Chen Xiaobei said, wrapping his arm around her slender waist. "Believe me, keep betting! Let’s turn that 1.5 million into 3 million!"

He then called out to the crowd, "Friends, I’m not just bragging! My girlfriend is blessed with the karma of a Ninth Life Bodhisattva; she’s naturally lucky. If you want to get rich, you’d better follow her bets. An opportunity like this won’t come again!"

Upon hearing this, the scene completely erupted. The red-eyed gamblers looked like they wanted to build a shrine and worship Xia Xue.

Turning back to look at Song Chengdong, who also had bloodshot eyes, Chen Xiaobei said teasingly, "How about it, Principal Song? My girlfriend’s luck isn’t bad, right? See what happens when you’re too cautious? Look at how much money you just lost."

"Uh—" Song Chengdong’s face darkened as he grunted, "I was just waiting to see how things played out, but I must say, Teacher Xia’s luck is truly exceptional. Teacher Xia, what do you plan to bet on next? I’ll follow your bet 100%!" He added, "When we get back tomorrow, I’ll promote you to Director of Student Affairs."

"I don’t need your promotion," Xia Xue said with a slight frown. But she was indeed on a winning high and declared, "This round, I bet... Small!"

As she spoke, she placed 500,000 yuan in chips on ’Small’. Although she was euphoric, she still had her wits about her and did not dare to bet everything.

But just because she did not dare, it did not mean others felt the same. Meanwhile, the surrounding gamblers had gone completely mad. Song Chengdong, in particular, gritted his teeth and maxed out all his credit cards, scraping together a total of 3,000,000 yuan in chips. If this bet hit, after paying off his credit cards, he would still net 4,000,000 yuan. He would finally strike it rich.

"Final bets! No more bets!" At that moment, the beautiful croupier’s hands trembled. If this round turned out to be as outrageous as the previous ones, the casino stood to lose at least ten million yuan—a consequence that a low-level croupier like her could never bear. But the arrow was nocked and had to be fired.

Seeing that no one else was placing bets, she reached out to reveal the roll. Just then, however, Chen Xiaobei placed a one-million-yuan chip on the triple-fours jackpot.

The other gamblers, seeing that it was Chen Xiaobei who placed the jackpot bet, paid it no heed. Their attention, including Song Chengdong’s, was fixated on Xia Xue’s bet on ’Small’.

"Hahaha, I’m getting rich! I’m getting rich!" the gamblers who bet ’Small’ roared in anticipation.

Song Chengdong prayed incessantly in his heart: Small! It has to be Small!

The croupier opened the cup. "Three fours... a triple... a jackpot?"

PFFT.

At the same time, both Song Chengdong and the beautiful croupier spat out blood.
