Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

It was only because Mrs. Yu had left, otherwise she would have definitely guessed something...

.........

On a luxury cruise ship on the high seas, Chen Xu, who was being talked about, was making a huge bet with someone.

"Mr. Liang, I think we should stop here today..." (You have no more chips)

It was a fate destined by heaven. Even though they didn't meet at the same time, Wang Manni and Liang Zhengxian still met.

What's even more cliché is that after knowing that Wang Manni has a boyfriend, Liang Zhengxian still didn't give up. Today, he even provoked Chen Xu in the cruise ship's casino.

If he met the honest man Chen Xu, he might be a little hesitant. For someone like Liang Haiwang, he would just give him a lesson, and then Chen Xu let him experience the feeling of losing to the point of jealousy.

"I still have this, shares of two high-quality superior companies, worth 50 billion. Let's make another bet. Do you dare?"

Liang Zhengxian's identity in the outside world is a financial genius, but he is actually a white glove for some government officials. In the gambling game just now, he lost something that did not belong to him, so now he has no choice.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liang to have such a fortune. I'm really disrespectful. But after all, our dispute is just a matter of pride. Is it necessary to make it a big bet?"

After winning cash and real estate, Chen Xu, who had already won more than 3 billion from Liang Zhengxian, was obviously talking without any worries.

"Don't talk to me about this. Just tell me if you dare or not."

Liang Zhengxian, who was almost dead, really had no idea what gentlemanly manners were.

Chen Xu didn't say anything, but glanced at the capital verification personnel next to him. They were already there when Liang Zhengxian started losing real estate an hour ago.

"Mr. Chen, there is no problem with the assets provided by Mr. Liang."

"Okay, then I'll risk my life to accompany you, but it's getting late, and my little beauty is still waiting for me to go back and favor her, so let's decide the outcome."

When Chen Xu mentioned the little beauty, Liang Zhengxian's eyes twitched noticeably; beauty is a disaster, if he could live again, he would definitely choose not to mess with that woman, no, he didn't even want to get on this boat.

Since the outcome was determined by choosing one hand, Chen Xu directly chose the open card.

"Three Aces, Mr. Liang, show your cards."

Chen Xu spoke calmly, but his expression was always fixed on Liang Zhengxian, trying to see if the desperate man would do something desperate.

"You are a cheater. You are a gang up on me. Give me back my money..."

Facts have proved that Chen Xu was overthinking. Liang Zhengxian was just a normal gambler. He didn't know how to do high-end operations like changing cards. He could only act like a rogue like a normal person who had lost a lot of money.

"It's boring..."

Chen Xu stood up and prepared to leave, looking disappointed.

"Don't leave, stop right there and give me back my money..."

Liang Zhengxian rushed towards Chen Xu, looking like he wanted to beat him up.

Of course, the parties involved didn't need to take action in this situation. The casino security guards who had been standing by all night finally came in handy. Before Liang Zhengxian could get within two meters of Chen Xu, he was pinned to the ground by them.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to have frightened you."

The person in charge of the casino stood up and apologized to Chen Xu.

He started investigating the backgrounds of the two men after the gambling amounted to hundreds of millions.

Liang Zhengxian was investigated clearly, and Chen Xu, at first it was just a machine failure, but then the five major gangsters' violent agencies sent continuous warnings, which frightened him. Who is this harmless guy in front of him? (Star Trek is so awesome.)

"Then what should he do?"

Chen Xu pointed at Liang Zhengxian who was pinned to the ground and said.

"I promise you won't see him on the cruise ship again. If he loses the property to you, we will complete the transfer before you get off the ship."

With the 10% handling fee, apart from Chen Xu, the people in the casino can be said to be the biggest winners today.

Chen Xu would never put himself in a difficult position, especially when he was out having fun, so he and Wang Manni stayed in the most luxurious private room on the boat.

"I'm home…"

As soon as she heard the door open, Wang Manni came out.

What is reserve? It is an attitude of not completely giving up oneself. Wang Manni no longer has much reserve towards Chen Xu.

"Are you anxious to wait?"

"Well, I'm afraid that man will cause you trouble, so why don't we get off the boat early."

Wang Manni, who used to work in a luxury store, could see that Liang Zhengxian was rich, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Xu because of herself.

"It's rare for us to come out and play, so of course we have to have fun. Don't worry, I'm here for you."

For fear that Wang Manni would be frightened, Chen Xu did not tell her what had just happened in the casino.

"Well, let's go take a shower..."

Refusing such invitations has always been Chen Xu's weakness, and obviously, he failed again this time.

In the luxurious box, the most primitive movement began; in the bathtub in the bathroom, on the cashmere carpet, in front of the French window under the moonlight, their footprints were left everywhere...

Chapter 179 The Wives Reunite

The wives' group basically gathers every Monday, and this time they gathered at Mrs. Wang's house. Gu Jia had just sent Xu Ziyan to school when she was called to help.

"You really spent a lot of money. I asked someone to look for this bag for a long time, but I couldn't buy it. Who did you get it from?"

As soon as Gu Jia walked in, Mrs. Wang was attracted by the bag she was carrying.

"He's wasting a lot of effort on a good friend. You took me into the group, so I can't lose face for you."

After asking around, no one was able to buy a bag that would not be inferior to the others, so Gu Jia gritted her teeth and used the one that Chen Xu gave her that day; and she also wore the emerald jade bracelet that looked very valuable on her wrist.

"Well, today we are teaming up to make them look bad. That Mrs. Liu always taunts me in Shanghainese at every party, and I think I don't understand. I just don't want to argue with her."

The collision between emerging industries and traditional industries has also extended to the wives' circle. Every time Gu Jia thinks of this, she feels a little amused.

"Look, these are for the tea party. I specially ordered the tables, chairs and tableware from France. They are all made of rosewood."

“Why are there only high tables?”

The relationship between the two was much better than before, and the tea party was still in the preparation stage, so Gu Jia spoke frankly.

"Isn't a high table good? A high table looks classy and elegant."

"In France, high tables are used to entertain servants so they can continue working after eating, while low tables are used to entertain distinguished guests."

There's a reason why Mrs. Wang is often laughed at for being uneducated yet pretending to be classy.

"That's true, but it's too late to find a similar set now. If I had known this, I would have checked it online before placing the order."

In the Internet age, many things can be found out by just searching on the Internet, sighed Mrs. Wang after checking the news on her mobile phone.

"Mrs. Wang, don't worry. I have an idea. With the limelight today, we will really make a move."

Just like in the drama, Gu Jia was cut out of the group photo of the first gathering, which was why she wanted to save face.

"Hello, Xiaoqin, are you home?"

Gu Jia called Zhong Xiaoqin.

"It's okay. I just want to borrow the set of dining table and chairs for afternoon tea. You don't have to send it to my house. I'll pick it up myself later."

Now the set of afternoon tea dining table and chairs in Zhong Xiaoqin's house is made of golden nanmu; Chen Xu mentioned it before, but at that time Gu Jia thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously.

After learning about his strength from Mrs. Yu some time ago, Gu Jia remembered the matter again; taking the opportunity to visit the pregnant Zhong Xiaoqin, she confirmed again that it was the real deal.

It turns out that the most expensive thing Chen Xu gave to his brother was not the house, but this set of dining table and chairs.

It was because the nanmu wood was strong and she really wanted to prove herself today that Gu Jia made the suggestion.

"That's all you can do, borrow furniture from someone? I might as well ask the driver to go to the furniture store and buy a set now."

Mrs. Wang looked down upon Gu Jia's idea.

"Mrs. Wang, my friend's furniture is made of golden nanmu wood. It's in short supply and there may not be many sets in China. Are you sure you don't need it?"

What Gu Jia said was not nonsense. There may be quite a few furniture made of golden nanmu in China, but the only family that can use golden nanmu to make Western-style afternoon tea tables and chairs is probably Chen Xu's family.

Yes, this was one of his achievements in the Republic of China.

"A dining table and chairs made of golden nanmu wood, is your friend willing to lend it to you so confidently?"

When ordering this batch of rosewood high-legged tables, Mrs. Wang had looked up golden nanmu and knew its approximate price, so she asked this truthful question.

"My friend is my son's godmother. She is also pregnant now. What if she gives birth to a daughter and she plans to marry me?"

"You still have a friend like this, bring her out sometime so we can get to know each other."

Mrs. Wang thought she knew Gu Jia well enough, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated her.

"Next time. She doesn't like to go out much after she got pregnant."

It’s not that Gu Jia is stingy, she just thinks Zhong Xiaoqin will definitely not get along with the people in the wives’ group.

Although it was only a few buildings away, Mrs. Wang specially called a high-end moving company to move the tables and chairs.

"This is golden nanmu, and it looks much higher quality than the red sandalwood I ordered. Gu Jia, where did your friend buy this table and chairs? Can you help me find out?"

Mrs. Wang started again, the only thing missing was the words "I'm not short of money" engraved on her forehead.

“If you ask, I can help you ask, but as I said just now, this thing is priceless and difficult to buy;

And it’s very expensive. My friend told me that her husband’s family spent 3 million yuan on this set of tables, chairs and benches.”

Gu Jia was just making up this price to appease Mrs. Wang and stop her from nagging him.

"It costs 3 million, that's a bit expensive..."

People can deceive others but cannot deceive themselves; just as Mrs. Wang can deceive Gu Jia into saying that the "Water Lilies" in the living room is an authentic Monet, but she cannot deceive herself, nor can she change the fact that the painting was a high-end imitation that she bought for 100,000 yuan.

3 million for a set of tables and chairs was indeed beyond her affordability.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Wang and Gu Jia were almost ready, and the other members of the wives' group also arrived gradually.

"Mrs. Li, how is it? Although my house is not as good as your mansion or villa, it is still okay."

With dining tables and chairs worth 3 million yuan and the home advantage, Mrs. Wang is full of confidence and has dared to challenge Mrs. Li, who used to be the center of the wives' group. As for Mrs. Liu following behind Mrs. Li, who is she?

"Not bad, it's pretty good; our old house, which was built seventy or eighty years ago, can't compare with your new house..."

Mrs. Li was very good at using the Bone-Dissolving Palm, but she was just short of saying that Mrs. Wang's family was not well-off enough.

"Hello, Mrs. Li"

"Mrs. Xu is here too. Hey, your new bag is nice."

Women who are obsessed with comparison are competing for this; Mrs. Wang can tell at a glance what bag Gu Jia is carrying, and the same goes for Mrs. Li.

The only one who didn't speak was Mrs. Liu. Her family was engaged in traditional industries and she even owned a jewelry store. She had been looking at her bracelet since Gu Jia appeared.

"Mrs. Liu, my sister's new bag is nice, isn't it?"

Feeling that Gu Jia brought honor to her, Mrs. Wang even changed the way she addressed her.

"Mrs. Xu is a person who never reveals her true colors. I was indeed wrong last time."

"Oh, and there are times when Mrs. Liu makes mistakes. That's really rare."

In an instant, Mrs. Wang felt that all the anger she had endured from Mrs. Liu in the past few years had been vented.

"Mrs. Liu, you're joking. How can I be considered a real person?"

The goal has been achieved. Gu Jia knows clearly that she is here to make friends, not to make enemies.

"But Mrs. Xu, aren't you afraid of being robbed if you wear a bracelet like this?"

As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li began to look at the emerald jade bracelet that Gu Jia was wearing.

"this…"

When she put it on, Gu Jia realized that the bracelet was of great value, but looking at Mrs. Liu's current attitude, she probably underestimated it.

"What are you talking about? What's the event today?"

Just when Gu Jia didn't know how to answer, Mrs. Yu, an 18th-tier celebrity, arrived.

"There's nothing going on today, so just a few of us will just get together for some afternoon tea and some snacks."

This should have been said by Mrs. Wang, but Gu Jia was eager to change the subject and didn't care about it anymore.

"Is her bracelet valuable?"

After Gu Jia left, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu started whispering to each other; Mrs. Wang, who was standing nearby, looked as if she didn't care, but was actually listening attentively.
