I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Then a scoffing laugh entered Xu Nianying’s ears.
Xu Nianying’s face turned iron blue as he looked up: “Are you playing with me?”
Casually, Chen Xixi spoke: “Perhaps that person made a mistake.”
Grinding his teeth, Xu Nianying was infuriated, yet in a blink, something occurred to him, and a sneering smile appeared on his face: “The person Zhou Jinyuan loves could not possibly be you. Stop daydreaming.”
“Then who does he love?” Chen Xixi tilted her head, suddenly remembering: “Right, you mentioned last time that Zhou Jinyuan was going to become your brother-in-law, could it be that he loves your cousin?”
Mentioning his cousin, Xu Nianying grew even more irritated!
If it hadn’t been for the constant reminder to himself that Chen Xixi was now protected by Zhou Jinyuan, he really would have wanted to have her thrown out of the banquet hall and then kicked out of the entertainment industry!
It’s too annoying, she only says things that irritate him!
His plan had been perfect, marrying into the other family, his cousin controlling Zhou Jinyuan, and their Xu Family controlling the well-established Zhongjing Group. This way, their fundamentally unstable Xu Family could compensate for its shortcomings.
Then their family would no longer fear the Bai Family and, looking across the business world, wouldn’t have to succumb to anyone’s threats!
Unfortunately, Zhen Mei Qiu’s words shattered his beautiful dream.
His cousin even gave him the distasteful suggestion to go seek an alliance through marriage!
He was so furious that he hadn’t slept well for several nights. Unable to sleep, he had gone to beat Xu Mu.
But Xu Mu had run away the day before yesterday, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
He didn’t know who had emboldened this darn kid to run away. Once captured, he was determined to break the legs of this troublemaking rat!
Xu Nianying pursed his lips into a smile, mercilessly shattering Chen Xixi’s dreams: “The world of the wealthy isn’t as simple as you think. The sweet taste you savor now is temporary, and it will be returned twofold later.”
Chen Xixi smiled, looking at Xu Nianying and repeated: “Yes, the sweetness is temporary, and it will be returned twofold later.”
Like how the Xu Family uses despicable means to gain benefits and success, all will be vomited out twofold later!
Xu Nianying could clearly discern the underlying meaning in Chen Xixi’s words.
He gritted his teeth, thinking about how to deal with this sharp-tongued girl without involving Zhou Jinyuan!
Xu Nianying’s eyes shifted suddenly, then he asked: “Do you play cards?”
“A little.”
“Care for a game?”
Chen Xixi’s eyes curved, revealing an innocent smile: “Sure.”
Inside the banquet hall was a small exquisite hall. Walking to the front of the small hall, Chen Xixi blinked, turning her head to Xu Nianying and asked: “I’m not very good at this, you won’t cheat me, right?”
Xu Nianying hooked his lips, his smile revealing a hint of wickedness: “Of course not. You are Zhou Jinyuan’s friend, thus my friend too, why would I cheat you? But there are rules at the card table, and whether winning or losing, everything must follow the rules.”
“Okay.”
There were quite a few people inside the small hall, with noisy voices and swirling smoke, approximately five or six tables; they were all major company shareholders and bosses attending the dinner, idling and playing cards for fun.
Chen Xixi waved her hand to disperse the choking smoke in the air and thought that this high-end gambling didn’t seem to differ much from the card games at their village’s local store.
Once she understood the rules, she found out there were differences.
Like in high-stakes games, not only could one win large sums of money, but you could also win people, shares, and properties; you could win anything you wanted.
It seems Xu Nianying wanted her to lose everything here, turning into a desperate gambler.
As soon as Chen Xixi entered, Xu Nianying suddenly clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention: “Ladies and gentlemen, today I’ve brought a new friend. Any boss interested in playing can join, and the stakes are high!”
Before Chen Xixi could even start saying what and how she wished to play, Xu Nianying suddenly made his move and left her in a tight spot.
Stakes are high?
Where does she have hefty betting chips?
All the money on her was used to acquire the empty shell of Dingxin at a low price and to invest in the movie starring Han Qianyi. The remaining one million here isn’t even enough for ten minutes of play.
Xu Nianying is really trying to put her in a deadly situation!
After Xu Nianying finished speaking, as if knowing what Chen Xixi was thinking, he turned his head towards Chen Xixi and kindly said, “No worries, I have money, I can lend you some.”
Chen Xixi smiled subtly and responded, “Well, that would be great.”
The other bosses at the tables, seeing Xu Nianying bring a good-looking and attractive woman, immediately had their eyes glued on her.
Having a hefty betting stack is one thing, but to win a beauty would be perfection!
Then people started lining up to play with Chen Xixi.
Chen Xixi looked at their greedy smiles and raised the corners of her mouth in a thought-provoking smile, “You guys go ahead, I’m still not very good at this. Let me learn a couple of hands first.”
A man with few hairs on his head smiled maliciously and shouted, “Why don’t I teach you!”
As soon as the man finished speaking, the others also began to chime in, leering at Chen Xixi, all saying they want to teach Chen Xixi how to play cards.
Chen Xixi stretched her leg and hooked a chair next to her, then in front of everyone, she brazenly sat at the position by the front door, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall.
“You guys play first, I’ll see who has good skills and ask him to teach me.”
Chen Xixi’s words appeared to be about learning card skills, but her demeanor seemed more like ‘I will deal with anyone who is not behaving’ and ‘I am sitting right here, no running away’.
Lastly, Chen Xixi added, “I like skilled brothers.”
This “brother” suddenly enchanted everyone, making them somewhat disoriented, directly overlooking Chen Xixi’s unladylike posture.
With such a beauty present, the men’s desire to win flared up instantly!
After finishing her speech, Chen Xixi didn’t forget Xu Nianying beside her, who was watching the show unfold. She said, “President Xu should go too. I’m rather curious about President Xu’s card skills.”
Xu Nianying agreed cheerfully, “Okay.”
He also played cards usually, and as long as he could get Chen Xixi into this trap today, demonstrating his card skills to Chen Xixi couldn’t hurt.
However, just as Xu Nianying sat down, he received a call from his assistant, “President Xu, Zheng He seems to have disappeared!”
Xu Nianying frowned and impatiently replied, “He’s just a pawn; if lost, just replace him.”
Xu Nianying didn’t care and hung up the phone to start playing cards.
Twenty minutes later.
At the entrance of the banquet hall.
As Zhou Jinyuan got out of the car, he saw a dozen police cars parked at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Assistant Xu curiously muttered, “Is this year’s banquet coinciding with a police uncle’s conference?”
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips slightly curled up, his expression suggesting he was ready to enjoy a show, he calmly said, “It seems I’ve missed an exciting performance.”
Assistant Xu: “Should we still go in, President Zhou?”
“Of course, we go in.”
To pick up his wife.
Zhou Jinyuan took long strides into the banquet hall, without seeing Chen Xixi anywhere.
He casually asked someone, “Have you seen Chen Xixi?”
When the person saw Zhou Jinyuan, he thought his eyes were deceiving him as Zhou Jinyuan never attends any events. The man was stunned for a moment and then said, “She… she was just taken away!”
