69: Chapter 69: The Mighty Brother-in-Law!
One round to determine the winner?
A sports car worth over a million!
Just a simple gamble and the ownership gets decided?
Why not just go for rock-paper-scissors?
Wouldn’t that be even simpler?
Tang Kun’s brow was knitted tightly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, sowhat hesitant.
Tang Le and Tang Wei, however, smiled as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
The two of them were only high school students, with not much pocket money, and didn’t dare to gamble big.
“I think it’s exciting!” Tang Xin added fuel to the fire, “Kun, isn’t it because you want to win back the Porsche?
Then just make a bet with Jie, simple and brutal is thrilling!”
Bang!
Tang Kun slamd the table hard and picked up a die.
“Alright!
I’ll take you up on that bet!”
“But my car keys are at ho.
If I really lose, I’ll have the car delivered to your door!”
Wu Jie tossed the Porsche keys onto the table and picked up another die.
“You’re the guest; you throw first!” Tang Kun said with a smile.
“Are you sure?”
“Of course!
If I say throw, then throw!
Hurry up!”
A sneer flitted across Wu Jie’s lips as he weighed the die in his hand, then casually threw it.
Clatter!
The die tumbled across the table, rolling several tis before finally coming to rest under the gaze of many eyes, six points facing up.
“Damn!
Impressive!”
“Brother-in-law is so amazing!”
“Six points!
Kun, you’re done for!”
“Haha!
Lost the Porsche, and now the Audi R8 too.
I wonder how you’ll street race after this, Kun.”
…
Amidst shouts of alarm and cheers.
Even Tang Xiao furrowed her brows, sowhat astonished.
As for Tang Kun…
Bang!
“You’re cheating!!”
Tang Kun abruptly stood up, “You must be cheating!
No, you’re skilled in martial arts, so you can precisely control the strength of your throw.
You decide the number and then throw it, you’re swindling !!”
This shout alard the elders at the nearby tables who were playing cards and mahjong.
“Kun, what are you shouting for?” His dad, Tang Feng, angrily scolded with a cold face: “Didn’t we agree to accept the outco of a bet graciously?”
His mom, He Hui, also scolded: “Knowing how formidable your cousin-in-law is, you still gambled with him.
Are you looking for a beating?”
The other elders also chided Tang Kun in turn.
The loudest by far was Tang Xin.
“Unbelievable!
In front of everyone, there’s no cheating with the die, plus you were the one who let Jie throw first!”
“You say Jie is using martial arts to cheat you, but can you do martial arts too?
Just throw a six and keep it going!”
“You’re already shouting before you throw, what kind of ‘gracious loser’ are you?
Are you even a man?”
…
Regardless of the ti, Tang Xin has always been Wu Jie’s best wing woman!
And sure enough, after a barrage of comnts, Tang Kun hated Wu Jie even more.
Ding!
[System: Hatred from Tang Kun 2000]
A person’s gambling manner reflects their character.
Not having lost yet, he was already anxious, seems like Tang Kun isn’t the carefree type!
Of course, it all cos down to an expensive Audi R8 sports car, after all!
Even as a second-generation rich kid, Tang Kun couldn’t afford such back-to-back losses!
Wu Jie was secretly chuckling to himself.
Seeing Tang Kun’s furious expression, he picked up the die.
“Since you say I’m swindling you, let’s not count this round then!”
“Your turn to throw first, or even, we can switch the die before throwing!”
Wu Jie spoke with a smile, gentlemanly and generous.
At this, the elders all expressed their admiration, and Tang Kun had no more excuses to pick on.
Taking a deep breath and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Kun threw the die.
The die tumbled and finally ca to a stop…
Suddenly!
Many people burst out laughing.
And Tang Kun, his face instantly turning purplish red, then blood-red with bulging eyes, wore an expression of disbelief.
“No…
this is impossible!
There’s…
sothing wrong with the dice!
My…
my standing position is bad!”
“The dice are too old, the table is too small, too many spectators, I’m in bad form!” Tang Xin laughed and shook her head, “In short, you just have rotten luck!”
Pfft!
As soon as Tang Xiao said this, many people in the room burst into uncontrollable laughter.
And Tang Kun’s face completely transford.
Twisted and ashen.
Tang Feng and He Hui, the couple, however, couldn’t manage to laugh at all.
Previously losing the martial arts competition to Wu Jie was acceptable, as it was a case of lesser skill.
Now playing with dice, not being able to roll good numbers, they’re accusing Wu Jie of cheating.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
Now look, the whole family is bursting with laughter.
Tang Xiao, standing behind Wu Jie, secretly shook her head.
Tang Kun is really an irreparable disappointnt!
Dammit!
He could only roll a one, even if Wu Jie wanted to lose to him deliberately, it would’ve been totally impossible.
“Little Kun, do we need to roll again?” Tang Xiao asked with a smirk.
Tang Kun sneaked a glance at his parents, and then said through gritted teeth:
“Roll!
Of course, we have to roll!
What if he also rolls a one?”
Wu Jie laughed, “Yeah!
What if a miracle happens?”
Amidst the laughter, Wu Jie casually tossed the dice.
Suddenly, the room fell deadly silent, all eyes glued to the tumbling dice.
As the dice slowed, everyone’s heartbeats raced faster and faster.
Just as the dice ca to a halt, many people were about to scream and shout, but then…
Crack!
The dice split!
Incredibly, it split into several pieces, shattering into a pile of dust.
Boom!
Everyone, except for Wu Jie, was utterly astonished.
Tang Kun was the first to snap out of it.
“Haha!
I won!
I’ve won!!”
“His dice split, if it’s split it ans no points!
I win with my single point, I won, Oh Yeah!”
…
Tang Kun was beside himself with excitent, starting to dance with joy.
Many onlookers were stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief.
How could this happen?
How could the dice just suddenly split?
Could it be…
Bang!
Tang Xin slamd the table and got up, “What the hell are you happy about!
It’s obvious that Jie let you win on purpose!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Kun turned in shock to look at Wu Jie, his tone harsh and arrogant, “Did you deliberately let win?”
Wu Jie gave a faint smile, “What deliberate?
Everyone saw my dice break.
I’m willing to accept the loss, you’ve won!”
“Haha, did you hear that?” Tang Kun said proudly, lifting his head arrogantly, shouting at Tang Xin, “The cousin-in-law has admitted it in his own words, what else do you have to say?”
Tang Xin had a sudden realization, “Oh!”
“If I were the cousin-in-law, I’d let you win too, with you being such a sore loser?
Haha!”
With that, Tang Xin picked up her backpack and walked away.
“You’re the sore loser!
You stop right there!!”
Tang Kun snatched the car keys and then chased after Tang Xin.
“The cousin-in-law is mighty and aweso!
Aweso!”
Tang Xin yelled as she ran into the distance, not forgetting to turn back and shout.
“You little brat, you stop right there!” Tang Kun roared.
Tang Le and Tang Kang didn’t want to be third wheels, so they left too.
Wu Jie turned around to see Tang Xiao’s frosty face.
“You still went easy!
Why bother?
Did you want him to be grateful to you, or did you not want to make a bad impression the first ti you t my family?”
Wu Jie grinned, “Whether it’s sparring or playing dice, isn’t it all just for fun?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Kun’s father Tang Feng ca over.
“Jie, well done!” Tang Feng said with a thumbs up, smiling, “Not only are you skilled in martial arts, your character is beyond reproach, and you’re knowledgeable in electrical automation too.
If you ask , don’t waste your talents being a security guard, co to my company, you’d be at least a manager!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao’s eyebrows knitted in a frosty glare.
“Uncle Three, what are you implying?
Poaching in front of ?”
