Chapter 581: 581 is going, I’m treating you to a meal
Yuan Tianbo originally had no desire to encounter Mu Hanyan, but after being incited by Yao Guangcheng, he was tempted by the idea of Cangxuan Cloud Silk, which led Yao Guangcheng to set a trap for Mu Hanyan.
He never expected that his attempt to steal a chicken would result in losing rice—the trap was not even fully set before Mu Hanyan won several million. The thought of losing millions made Yuan Tianbo cringe, and he no longer dared to covet the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, wanting instead to withdraw from the game.
"What old times are you talking about? I have nothing to discuss with you. If there’s nothing else, step aside. I’m not done playing yet," said Mu Hanyan impatiently.
"They’re just a few broken stones; what’s so fun about them? If you like them, I can give you a few," Yuan Tianbo offered with a forced smile, not wanting her to continue winning.
While he said this, Yuan Tianbo inwardly despised Yao Guangcheng. He could’ve just stayed away and all would’ve been fine. Your self-proclaimed brilliance has led us here—now look, usually, you praise your alchemy to the skies, yet you mistook such a rare Meteorite Gold Stone like Purple Cloud Star for a useless stone, causing a loss of millions for nothing.
Regardless, Yuan Tianbo made up his mind that he couldn’t let her continue to play. Mu Hanyan, any encounter with him surely spelled trouble.
"What broken stones? These are high-quality Meteorite Gold Stones. How about it, give me a few more like this Purple Cloud Star?" suggested Mu Hanyan.
Since the one scheming behind her back was Yuan Tianbo, Lady Mu, of course, would not be polite with him. Moreover, she wanted to try her luck again—naturally, if luck was no longer on her side, she would quit while she was ahead.
Yuan Tianbo choked with frustration. He had never imagined that his family’s mine could produce Purple Cloud Star; this was the first-ever encounter. Where could he find more to give to Mu Hanyan? Besides, even if he did, would he be willing to part with them?
This Mu Hanyan truly was someone not to be messed with. Once involved, the hassle never ended.
Yuan Tianbo regretted so much that he wanted to drag Yao Guangcheng out and thrash him, but after thinking it over, it seemed he couldn’t win against him, so he could only swallow his anger.
"Fine, if you want to play, continue playing then. Manager Yao, step aside. I want to see just how lucky he really is," Yuan Tianbo thought furiously, his stubbornness flaring up again, no longer bothering to speak with Mu Hanyan, he moved aside with a cold face.
In his view, Mu Hanyan’s so-called good fortune was partly due to them deliberately baiting her, and partly due to Yao Guangcheng’s self-assumed cleverness.
If it were really up to her own luck, so many gamblers at their Stone Tasting Conference had lost everything, he couldn’t believe Mu Hanyan would do any better.
From his experience, picking out Meteorite Gold from raw stones had an extremely low probability—one or two out of a hundred would be considered good, and the majority were of low grade. It would be fine if Mu Hanyan stopped now, but if she dared to gamble further, not to mention the millions she had won previously, even a fortune of tens of millions would be lost completely.
By this time, a crowd had already gathered around.
Ever since Yuan Tianbo started this Stone Tasting Conference, countless families had been ruined, some even meeting their demise. Despite dreaming of overnight riches, when they calmed down, they knew that this so-called conference was actually a gambling den, luring them in only to devastate their families, having fallen too deep to pull themselves out.
Therefore, seeing Mu Hanyan repeatedly lucky and watching the gambling den lose made them quite delighted.
"Go for it again, let them scheme; you have to win until they’re ruined," some people even cheered Mu Hanyan on.
Ruining the Yuan Family? That was not a bad idea.
She remembered in her past life when the Mu Family was besieged, the Yuan Family also exerted much effort. If given the chance, Mu Hanyan certainly wouldn’t mind eliminating this threat for the Mu Family ahead of time.
