Chapter 181: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
After getting the answer he wanted, Wei Miao didn't bother to ask the following questions.
You can understand it from the literal meaning, Baixu means opium.
What are you doing here? Drinking coffee or tea, or gambling when you have nothing to do. Two hundred dollars is not enough.
Lu Pingsheng chatted with the waiter in a casual manner, like a young boy who had not experienced much of the world, which was quite novel and enjoyable.
After chatting for a while, the waiter knew everything about me.
"We also offer couples' baths here." The waiter whispered in Lu Pingsheng's ear.
Lu Pingsheng gave the waiter a smile that only men could understand, but he was really good-looking and a little shy, so he didn't look vulgar.
After buying the chips, he handed ten to the waiter and said casually:
"Where is Zeng Baoyi?"
The waiter thought it was about money, but then he realized he was asking about this ancestor.
Suppressing the surprise of the man who called Fourth Master Zeng by his name, he pointed to the busiest place in the hall and said with a smile:
"Look, where there are the most people, that's where Fourth Master Zeng must be."
Lu Pingsheng nodded in thanks, and the waiter touched the ten chips in his hand, thought for a moment, and then spoke again:
"Master Zeng is a frequent visitor here. He never cares about winning or losing, he just wants to kill time. If you go to his gambling table, you won't lose much."
Lu Pingsheng looked satisfied. He thanked the host gently again before taking Wei Miao to the restaurant upstairs.
The waiter tossed the money in his hand and looked at the young men and women in the hall, who were shouting and acting coquettishly, indulging in sensual pleasures and living a life of debauchery.
After feeling envious, he sighed.
"Why are you sighing, kid? Don't ruin your good luck."
The woman behind him, who was wearing a black cheongsam, had delicate makeup and looked middle-aged, but her eyes moved too fast, revealing her commercialism and shrewdness.
"Sister Yu." The waiter called respectfully.
Sister Yu looked in the direction where Lu Pingsheng left and asked him:
"Did those two people just now figure out who it was?"
The host calmed down and replied seriously:
"He is the young master of the antique dealer Lu family. It is his first time here and he has never been to a casino before. What he is holding looks like calligraphy and painting. After buying the chips, he directly asked Mr. Zeng Si."
Sister Yu's hand, wearing a black silk glove, gently stroked the delicate curly hair, slightly raised it, and said casually:
"Where's the boy next to him?"
Sister Yu has seen many people like Lu Pingsheng, but she has also seen people who bring teenagers to the casino, but they all have names.
The waiter didn't dare to look at Sister Yu's expression, and lowered his eyes and said respectfully:
"Mr. Lu said it was his brother."
Sister Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't heard Lu San say that his cousin has two sons."
After that, she laughed and ordered:
"Look for people to pay more attention. If they come to the table, let them win a few hands first..."
The waiter nodded quickly and watched Sister Yu go away, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
This woman, as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, is feared by everyone in the casino. This time, the young master of the Lu family has attracted her attention, and his family is not far from being destroyed.
This is a common tactic used by their casinos against newcomers. With two hundred chips, they can gamble for fun or indulge in the life of luxury.
I don’t know how many people think this is a huge pie in the sky.
But where in the world can pie really fall from the sky?
This young master Lu had an open and polite temperament, unlike other young masters who looked superior. The young master he brought with him had clear and bright eyes.
What a pity.
The waiter touched the money in his pocket and the chips in his hand, thinking that he might as well give it a try later, just in case he could make a comeback.
Sister Yu twisted her waist like a snake and left the casino.
She greeted the old customers one by one, sometimes laughed out loud, occasionally covered her mouth shyly, or glanced around, dealing with men and women with ease.
Wei Miao looked at the various tricks in the casino and observed them carefully. Just by looking and listening, he roughly knew the rules.
"Brother Lu, are we going to look for Master Zeng again this time?"
Wei Miao saw Lu Pingsheng looking down at the scene below with an indifferent expression, and the pursed corners of his mouth showed that he was occasionally angry inside.
Wei Miao looked down in the direction of Lu Pingsheng at the gambling table in the distance, the gorgeous and dim chandelier, the men and women snuggling together, the noisy and lively scene, and the debauchery that was just like this.
No wonder he was unhappy again.
Although he was used to it, Wei Miao seemed to understand his helplessness. This was the shortcoming of people with pure faith.
No matter how well you disguise yourself on the surface, people can still feel the helplessness and sadness emanating from your bones.
Wei Miao reminded him, "Brother Lu, I think this is not a good thing for you to do."
Lu Pingsheng turned his head to look at Wei Miao, smiling brightly, his eyes teasing, showing a row of white teeth, and said:
"You little brat, I fooled you."
Wei Miao curled her lips, and because she saw that he was feeling bad, she was too lazy to expose him.
Anyway, apart from someone as sensitive as myself, no one should be able to notice the inner emotional contrast of Lu Pingsheng, a seemingly playboy.
Besides, she felt that Brother Lu would only indulge himself for a moment when he was with her, which was quite pitiful.
The most important person now is Zeng Baoyi. She thinks it is not good to always catch a sheep and fleece it.
"Zeng Baoyi is Mr. Zeng's fourth brother after all. Isn't it a bit unfair for us to do this?"
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao with some confidence, as if trying to convince himself:
"He's always going to lose anyway. It doesn't matter if he loses to others or to us. If he loses to us..."
Wei Miao nodded very pertinently. Yes, Mr. Zeng would probably be angry if he lost to others.
But Mr. Zeng should be happy to lose to them.
Lu Pingsheng wanted to knock the little brat's head again. It seemed that she didn't understand everything.
No wonder he got on Uncle Zeng Bao’s pirate ship so easily last time. At first he thought it was the bait that tempted him, but later he realized that the little brat was just taking advantage of the situation.
After running a lap of horse racing, he got a piece of iron luck quietly, and all the pressure was blocked by Uncle Zeng Bao.
For a moment, he even felt a little sympathy for Uncle Zeng Bao, the sickly guy who schemed against others every day.
Wei Miao looked at his expression, feeling slightly pleased, and said:
"I know very well that there is no free lunch in the world. What Brother Zeng wants does not conflict with what I want."
Lu Pingsheng smiled bitterly: It seems that I am not accepted by anyone.
Lu Pingsheng said to Wei Miao, who kept looking towards the restaurant:
"Go eat, and remember to keep a low profile."
Wei Miao curled his lips: I am a person who wants to make back my investment, how can I keep a low profile.
Lu Pingsheng was thinking about what he was going to do and suddenly changed his tone.
"Then you can eat as much as you want, and it would be best if you could eat out two thousand dollars."
Wei Miao didn't know what his little plan was.
But following Brother Lu, she had food and drink! She was very happy.
So she unbuttoned a shirt button on her blazer. Eating and swallowing gold were her only two hobbies.
It was great that this place of spending money could satisfy her now. If the food tasted good, they would not go out to a restaurant next time and would come here directly.
After eating, he exchanged the chips and got the two hundred yuan back.
It’s a complete waste!
