646: Chapter 646: Please Call the Female Gambling God!
One must have self-awareness!
Tang Kun had repeatedly borrowed money for his gambling addiction, and as the eldest among her peers, Tang Xiao was understandably infuriated.
If only Tang Kun could earn money and save like Tang Xin, Tang Xiao wouldn’t be so angry.
The thing is…
Tang Kun was still a student, spending his parents’ living allowance on reckless gambling.
When he lost, he borrowed money everywhere, which was a completely different matter.
As for tattling?
Tang Xiao took action, and Wu Jie did not stop her.
Clearly, Tang Kun was consud by gambling, completely trapped.
Just now he claid he needed to repay a friend two million, but who knew if that was true or not?
Just like last night, he claid he was short on living expenses, but after borrowing five hundred thousand from Wu Jie, he was actually pooling money to break even.
There’s not a single truth in a gambler’s mouth.
Tang Kun wasn’t inherently bad; he just couldn’t be allowed to continue his downward spiral.
Betting on soccer was like playing cards; once addicted, the more one lost, the more frantic one beca.
If Wu Jie had agreed to lend the money, Tang Kun would definitely have used the two million to continue betting on soccer.
What if the Brazilian team also unexpectedly lost?
Wouldn’t that just increase his debt?
With gambling, the more you bet, the thinner you spread yourself.
Besides, soccer matches are just too unpredictable.
No matter how strong a team is, if they’re unlucky, no matter how many tis they hit the post or the crossbar, they just can’t score.
Although Wu Jie didn’t watch the match, he guessed tonight’s German team probably lost just like that.
He checked the sports news on his phone and it was indeed the case.
Looking at the Monts in the ssaging app…
Sun Liang posted a photo from a high building, looking down; the cars on the street below looked tiny, indicating serious height.
“The German team unexpectedly lost, it’s so cold on the rooftop!
If the Brazilian team also loses unexpectedly, I might just jump down!”
And scrolling down, Xu Wei had posted a comnt:
“After World War II, the German Panzers have once again fallen on Seni Continent soil!
Such is the fate of history!”
As for Mr.
Xu Feng’s activity from Liuli City, it was even more heated.
He posted a picture of a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion along with a caption.
“Now I’m down to half a life.
If the Brazilian team unexpectedly loses too, I’m completely done for!”
The most amusing post was by Bai Fengling.
“What are you betting on next?”
Fang Qingya replied, ‘Coffins!’
…
Continuing to look, the Monts were full of sorrow.
Interestingly though, Fang Guozhi, whom he had just added recently, also had a post.
“Bet against the expected in soccer and you pile up money like the ocean!
One more score and I can retire!”
Obviously.
Fang Guozhi had gambled on the outsider and won.
The stakes on the Super Cruise Ship Brune were even higher than the international betting circles.
The minimum bet was a hundred million Gold Coins.
It looked like Fang Guozhi had made a fortune this ti.
On the other side.
After Tang Xiao finished making the phone call, she kept sighing and shaking her head.
“Tang Kun must not beco a gambling addict!”
“No matter how harsh I am, he won’t listen, so it’s up to his uncle and aunt to discipline him thoroughly!”
“As to whether he can have a sudden epiphany and pull back from the brink, that’s up to Tang Kun’s own destiny.”
As she murmured to herself, Tang Xiao’s phone rang with an international call.
“What?
You want to settle the bet now?
Are you afraid that if the Brazilian team also loses unexpectedly, you can’t afford to pay?”
“I don’t care!
I want to keep betting on the outsiders for both matches.
You opened the betting, so don’t be scared of losing!”
“Don’t worry!
Thirty million Gold Coins is all.
I can afford to lose that much!!”
She angrily hung up the phone, threw her mobile on the sofa, and sat down next to Wu Jie, fuming.
“What’s wrong now?” Wu Jie hugged Tang Xiao to comfort her, saying, “Don’t get angry at the drop of a hat!
Getting angry easily causes wrinkles, which would be a serious damage to your flawless complexion!”
Tang Xiao bit her red lips hard and took several deep breaths.
After composing herself for a while, she couldn’t help but scoff, “Can you believe this?
I finally mustered up the courage to bet thirty million Gold Coins on both Germany and Brazil to lose unexpectedly.”
“Now they say they’ll pay at eight tis the odds, but will close the books on the next match!”
“Because of a double bet, it’s a multiplicative relationship, eight tis ten tis; if I really win both of the outsiders, that’s an eightyfold payout!”
“They would have to pay twenty-four billion Gold Coins, so they’re scared and want to settle early with two billion four hundred million!”
At this point, Tang Xiao glared at Wu Jie with wide eyes.
“What are you staring at?
Don’t you recognize ?”
Wu Jie shook his head in admiration.
“Impressive, my wife!
How many bear hearts and leopard gallbladders have you eaten to dare to bet on two outsiders in a row?
Do you have any idea how terrifying such odds can be?
And to actually put down thirty million Gold Coins!”
“If you win, even the biggest international bookmakers might be emptied by you!”
Tang Xiao chuckled smugly:
“What’s there to fear?
If you’re going to gamble, go big or go ho and sleep!”
“Besides, if the Brazilian team doesn’t lose, not only will they have dodged a bullet, but they would have made thirty million off !”
“And besides, with such a capable and money-making husband like you, losing thirty million is nothing, right?”
“Once you release your software conversion tool, it’s not just about thirty million; you could make three hundred billion!”
Wu Jie rolled his eyes.
“Keep dreaming!
Three hundred billion…
making three hundred billion would be earth-shattering!”
“That’d be enough for to lose a thousand tis over!”
Tang Xiao stood up smiling, took Wu Jie’s hand, and led him to the office area outside.
“What are you doing?
Do you think the office isn’t exciting enough and want to fight here, too?
Didn’t we agree, once a day?
You’ve recovered already…”
Wu Jie’s words were cut short as Tang Xiao gave him a cold look.
“Could you be any more sleazy?
I want to watch the match, not fight with you!
I’m almost dead from exhaustion!”
“What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and help set things up!”
With a shout, Tang Xiao took command.
Wu Jie let out a silent sigh and hurried to help.
In his heart, however, he wondered, “When will I be able to score twice in one night?”
When Tang Xiao recovers to peak condition?
Because they were given only two minutes, he let Wang Lei and the others leave.
As a result, Wang Lei and the others left in a hurry, without much tidying up.
Soon, Wu Jie set up the projector, connected to the internet to watch the live stream.
The two of them snuggled together, eating snacks while watching the match.
Sleep?
How could they possibly feel sleepy?
Still jet-lagged from their trip abroad and anxious about the potential loss or gain of thirty million and 2.4 billion Gold Coins, sleep was even more elusive.
This night was destined to be sleepless for many.
Two o’clock in the morning.
The Brazil team’s match against Switzerland kicked off right on schedule!
Due to Germany’s shocking loss, this group match attracted much attention.
Countless fans (and gamblers) from all over the world were waiting for a big win or another upset.
Those who’d lost money fantasized about turning their luck around with this match.
Those who’d won hoped to win even more.
Thanks to betting, the match had beco a focal point, and from the start, it assured the majority of spectators.
The five-star Brazil team truly lived up to its reputation.
With Neymar leading the squad, they demonstrated exceptional strength right from the opening.
Executing nearly flawless plays, they dominated the Swiss team on the field.
With their fluid teamwork and ingenious passes, the Brazilians showcased the art of Samba soccer to the world.
Yet these monts made Tang Xiao sigh repeatedly.
If she had known this would happen, why bother in the first place?
With Brazil so strong, where was the chance for an upset?
If she had known, she would have been better off accepting the offer and stopped while ahead, taking that 240 million Gold Coins would have been so aweso!
But who could have known…
Suddenly!
A Brazilian player in yellow robes fired a surprise shot, and the ball flew into the net, making the score one nil.
It was over!
Completely over!
Where was the upset?
Just like Tang Xiao, those who bet against Brazil felt despair.
Such a powerful Samba Army was simply too strong.
Tang Xiao’s thirty million Gold Coins could almost be bid farewell.
And as the match went on, Brazil’s onslaught only intensified, nearly making it two nil before the end of the first half.
With such a turn of events, Tang Xiao had lost all hope by halfti.
In the chat groups, however, there was jubilation.
Clearly, the majority had bet on Brazil; after all, the probability for an upset was really too low.
The battle resud for the second half.
The ga restarted, and the situation was still one-sided.
Watching the ga, Tang Xiao gripped Wu Jie’s hand tightly, frustrated and angry.
However…
To everyone’s surprise, the Swiss team’s ground offense wasn’t effective, but their corner kicks were strong.
In the fiftieth minute, a seemingly inconspicuous corner kick was turned into a powerful header that plowed the ball into the goal.
One all, they actually managed a strong equalizer!
Boom!
Tang Xiao instantly stood up, overwheld with excitent.
Because she had bet on a handicap win!
If the match ended in a draw, then…
She would win 2.4 billion Gold Coins at eighty tis the odds!
Nervous!
Breathless!
Excited!
Frenzied!
Tang Xiao couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up to watch the match, so anxious that she clenched her teeth and fist tightly.
But, faced with a shocking equalizer, the subsequent Brazilian onslaught erupted fiercely.
Neymar led his teammates to continuously create threats.
Unfortunately…
The tenacious Swiss team withstood their attacks, resolutely enduring to maintain the draw until the end.
The whistle blew.
How many hearts around the world shattered and wept was unknown.
Perhaps many had lost everything overnight, maybe so had already t on rooftops.
Perhaps the rooftops were already overcrowded.
An upset!
Another upset!
After Germany’s shocking loss to xico, the less-favored Swiss team forced a draw against Brazil.
One upset might be an accident, but two…
that’s a disaster!!
Wu Jie had no idea how dreadful a loss Tang Kun must be facing, but his wife, Tang Xiao, was ecstatic.
Even winning over ten billion Gold Coins on the cruise ship hadn’t made her this happy.
Maybe it was because she gambled and won herself, or perhaps it was the astonishing odds that led to such a huge windfall.
Regardless, in this private office space with no outsiders, Tang Xiao completely let loose.
She was no longer the domineering CEO or the Special Forces King.
She was simply a lucky goddess who had turned a small bet into a massive win.
She sang and danced, as excited as a child.
With a joyful smile, her radiant face, she curved her proud lips.
“From today on, please call the Queen of Gamblers!!”
With haughty pride, Tang Xiao raised her snowy neck, showing off her victory to Wu Jie.
Picking up her phone, she tried to make the international betting giant pay up.
However, sothing unexpected happened…
