Chapter 23: Mysterious Ability

  "What do you mean?" The old man narrowed his eyes, pondering how to move this big granddaughter from the side, making her willing to return to the Ning family with a happy heart.

  "Mom isn't also thinking of Ningning, why don't we create an opportunity for them to get to know each other? Let Mom and Hongya go first, then we'll follow up slowly..." After about half an hour, he had expressed his idea, and in his heart, he was very much in favor of this opportunity, but this plan still needed everyone's support and recognition.

  The other three people also nodded in unison when they heard this opportunity.

  The old lady and Lian Hongya were overjoyed, her face slightly red with excitement.

  Leaving the park, she bought a bowl of soy milk and an oil strip from a street vendor and had a simple breakfast. Then she thought about how to spend her first rest day in Beijing, and she couldn't help but plan out her time carefully.

  Suddenly, I saw a TV in the store playing an advertisement, and one of the ads was aimed at 1995. My mind suddenly exploded - wasn't it about making money? Wasn't it that there wasn't enough money to spend? Wasn't there no way to make a fortune?

  Thinking of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, thinking of how many people lost their fortunes overnight, and how many people became rich overnight, all because of this financial crisis. In her past life, she had a deep hatred for Soros, after all, he brought such a huge financial storm to her country, causing it to be on shaky ground. People's evaluation of him was: the embodiment of an angel and a devil; but in this life, this old man has changed her views on him quite a bit, at least, he let her know the inside scoop, letting her know how to reap the greatest benefits from this situation.

  Her past and present identities are vastly different. Now, since it's just for her and her foster mother to live a better life, this established fact is not something that can be reversed or changed by her alone. So, she can only seek her own benefit in this event.

  He patted the pocket with money, took it out and counted it. There were still over 2,000 yuan in the deposit book that hadn't been touched, and there were tens of dollars on his body. He thought that taking more than 2,000 yuan to a casino wouldn't make him look too shabby.

  The corners of her mouth slightly hooked, she had already made a decision in her heart. Spending over 2,000 yuan to enter the casino once, for a family like hers at this age, should also be considered "high-stakes" gambling, right?

  Thinking is not as good as acting. She has just entered the school and cannot skip classes, and there is also work on the library side, so she only has today to go to the casino for a day of fun.

  Rushed back to school, took the deposit book to the bank and withdrew the money, leaving ten yuan on the deposit book. Then went to a clothing store for a stroll, and then took a taxi to the largest casino in Beijing.

  Because she was only eighteen years old, it was natural to need some dressing up. These things had been dressed up before she went to the casino. At this moment, Su Mo Ruo might not even be recognized by her foster mother, Liu Qin, if she stood in front of her.

  A hip-hop cowgirl, wearing a duck-tongue cap on her head, looks just like a street rascal, not at all like a girl. Every move she makes shows off her "masculine style".

  Because it wasn't a high-stakes gamble, but just a small-time gambler, so he only entered the first floor of the largest and most luxurious casino in the capital city. The surroundings were filled with people wearing ordinary clothes, shouting loudly one after another, mixed with some wailing and howling, making Su Mo feel like slapping these people in the face.

  These people's mentality is just wrong. If you come to play, you have to be able to take it, but if you can't even handle losing and cry about it, what's the point of crying?

  The first floor of the casino was crowded with people, playing dice guessing big or small, and various other games were everywhere to be seen. The deafening roar of the crowd, pairs of scarlet eyes, when looking at the cards on the gambling table that were about to be opened or had been opened, all stared wide-eyed, teeth clenched tightly, face flushed red, the entire first floor was filled with tension and shouting, almost bursting people's eardrums.

  For those people downstairs, these things are easy to make themselves bankrupt, and Sumo had only that little money on her body. Wanting to play this thing, she actually didn't have much confidence in her heart, but thinking about the skills she learned from her previous life, which had been practiced a few times, was still quite handy.

  Walking up to a gambling table, this table was playing guess big or small, the surrounding area was already packed with people, looking very intense, red-eyed staring at the opening of each point, voices like mad waves shouting loudly, almost bursting one's eardrums.

  But then she saw someone leave, and Sumo walked over, looking around at the crowd of people surrounding her, all eyes fixed on the dice on the table, as if they were afraid that if they blinked or looked away for a moment, their luck would fly away.

  Such scenes allowed Su Mo Ruo to once again closely recognize gamblers.

  Once a person gets hooked on gambling, they either become a king of gamblers, with money flowing into their pockets at the wave of a hand, or they become a gambler, a lowly gambler who will do anything against their conscience to get their hands on more gambling funds.

  Here, countless ruthless and cruel criminals were also forged.

  Just now, Su Mo walked in and observed the people around her. She didn't want to enter such a place too many times, but winning once was too eye-catching, so she weighed it up and thought it was just right.

  She came to such a big casino because every day, people here make a fortune, and she would win hundreds of thousands or millions each time without causing much commotion. Moreover, in the process, she herself would be mindful of restraint and avoid drawing attention from others.

  Standing there, she didn't bet first, but looked at a hand first, and then started putting the chips that had just been exchanged onto the table.

  After placing her bet, Sumojo also felt a bit nervous, but fortunately she didn't bet much in the first round, just to try her hand.

  So in the first round, she directly and beautifully sacrificed herself.

  She furrowed her brow, glanced at He Guan, listened for a few more rounds, and finally came to a conclusion. She sighed inwardly, realizing that in this place, she would also have to resort to cunning to win. The idea of winning fairly and squarely, which was considered "just" elsewhere, simply didn't work here.

  After some thought, someone suddenly won a big pot with 1,000 chips in it, and the loud, crazy laughter directly entered Su Mo's ears.

  Knitting his brow, looking at everything in front of him, this man had previously bet on it, and the people around didn't think much of it, so he was the only one who bet on that place. The amount of chips was huge, and the odds were high, directly giving him a 1:10 payout. With just one move, he won 10,000 yuan, instantly becoming a millionaire.

  All I can sigh about is why she didn't bet, if she had followed the man's lead and bet one or two thousand yuan, wouldn't she have made a profit of ten or twenty thousand yuan directly?

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, and my mind involuntarily started to silently chant, "If only time could turn back".

  At this time, strange things happened in front of Su Mo Ruo's eyes.

  Suddenly, Su Mo felt that the objects in front of her began to retreat like a phantom. When she saw clearly, she found herself still in the casino, but when her eyes inadvertently fell on the gambling table, she suddenly froze.

  Familiar words whispered in my ear...

  This was clearly something she had just heard, how could it be repeated again? She didn't believe it and listened for a few more sentences, but they were still familiar. If one sentence was a coincidence, then several sentences couldn't be. Suddenly her head buzzed, her eyes fixed intently on the man who had boldly bet 1,000 alone, with a bright light flashing in her eyes. She suppressed the doubts and curiosity in her heart, then quickly put the chips in her hand next to the man's.
