Shi Wu stepped forward.
Only two people were left in the elevator; Pei Yanzhi had even sent his special assistant away.
They reached the top floor.
Shi Wu stood by the window, looking down at the night view of Las Vegas.
“It’s really beautiful,” Shi Wu couldn’t help but exclaim.
This was the feeling of looking down on Las Vegas from a position of absolute power and wealth.
“You like it? It’s yours,” Pei Yanzhi stood behind her, his eyes fixed on her dark hair.
Shi Wu turned around, a faint smile playing on her lips.
“Didn’t you want to make a bet with me?”
“Tell me, how do we play?”
Hearing her words, Pei Yanzhi finally remembered his purpose.
He placed the dice cup on the table.
“You shake it, we guess the number, and the person closest to the correct number wins. The stakes are up to us.”
“It can be money, or it can be people and things.”
People and things?
Interesting.
Shi Wu’s slender fingers tightened, shaking it gently three times. Her long hair, scattered over her shoulders, swayed with the motion, like willow branches stirred by a breeze.
After a crisp clinking sound, it stopped, and Shi Wu withdrew her hand.
“I guess eight.”
Shi Wu’s voice was like a clear wind chimes, every word going straight to his heart, fluttering at its core.
Pei Yanzhi’s thin lips pursed, and he spoke in a cool voice.
“Why don’t you reconsider? There are three dice inside, the maximum number is eighteen.”
Pei Yanzhi grew up in casinos; he knew the number inside just by listening to the sound.
It was eighteen inside; he had already hinted at it.
“What does Mr. Pei guess?” Shi Wu asked.
At this moment, the system’s voice appeared in her mind.
【Host, the 100% win skill only has five seconds left.】
Shi Wu frowned slightly.
If Pei Yanzhi didn’t speak soon, she might lose.
“Five.”
The man spoke.
The next second, she opened the dice cup.
All three were sixes.
“I lost, Miss Shi, what do you want?” Pei Yanzhi asked gently.
“I’ll contact you once I’ve thought about it.”
“It’s a bit late today, I’ll go back and rest first.”
Shi Wu said, then strode towards the elevator.
The 100% win skill had been used up; if she continued to play, she would lose.
…
At this moment, Wen Yitong was resting on a hospital bed.
Her mother had a tumor in her brain and needed craniotomy. The doctor recommended that she invite an expert from the beautiful country to perform the surgery, which would greatly increase the success rate.
The surgery fee, plus the expert’s fee, roughly amounted to three million.
Her savings were less than one hundred thousand.
In her previous life, although she lost to Pei Yanzhi, he later paid for her mother’s surgery.
“There must be another way. There are so many rich people in Las Vegas, I don’t believe no one else can help me…”
Wen Yitong frowned, her eyes looking out at the bright moonlight outside the window.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never be controlled by Pei Yanzhi again in this life.
He was a dark-hearted pervert!
Although he had supreme power and mountains of wealth, being by his side was like being a pet.
He said she was his beloved, but what she got in return was constant abuse and harm.
What a load of beloved nonsense.
He was a possessive maniac with special fetishes.
The strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital made her somewhat unbearable, and Wen Yitong couldn’t help but frown.
She had rhinitis and couldn’t stand such strong smells.
In her previous life, to alleviate her rhinitis, Pei Yanzhi had banned all artificial fragrances in the house, only allowing some natural plant scents.
The room would also be humidified regularly, just in case she felt uncomfortable.
But Wen Yitong felt that Pei Yanzhi did this only because he was a clean freak, and he would do the same even if she wasn’t by his side.
Unable to bear the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, which made it difficult for her to sleep.
Wen Yitong sighed and left the hospital.
She didn’t know how long she walked until a pain came from her feet. She looked down and found that her heels were chafed.
The shoes on her feet were very hard and difficult to walk in.
In her previous life, Pei Yanzhi had her wear custom-made shoes that wouldn’t tire her even after walking all day, and the material was extremely soft.
“I will definitely find a man richer than Pei Yanzhi!”
Wen Yitong secretly vowed in her heart, then took out her phone and searched online for where the rich people of Las Vegas would appear.
She knew that if she worked honestly, she probably wouldn’t earn enough for the surgery in her entire life, so she had to take a shortcut.
She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was with Pei Yanzhi, he had taken her to a party once.
Among them, one of his brothers, Weilike, was very interested in Wen Yitong, and even publicly flirted with her. Pei Yanzhi became jealous and immediately fought with Weilike.
Afterward, he even recalled his investment in Weilike’s family business, and overnight, Weilike’s family fell into ruin, their fate too tragic to behold.
But now she and Pei Yanzhi didn’t know each other yet, and he had no conflict with Weilike. Weilike’s family was also among the top ten in Las Vegas.
Thinking of this, Wen Yitong’s thoughts gradually became clear.
“If I get together with Weilike and use the memories from my previous life to help their family, maybe in the near future, I can step on Pei Yanzhi…”
Wen Yitong’s eyes immediately lit up.
In her previous life, she heard that Weilike was a nightclub prince, so he might still be playing at a bar at this hour.
She decided to go look for him.
…
In the following days.
Pei Yanzhi’s mind replayed Shi Wu’s figure countless times.
Since that day, no one was allowed into the penthouse on the top floor.
Not even the cleaning lady was allowed in.
He felt that Shi Wu’s scent still lingered in the air. He couldn’t quite describe what it was, but he just felt it was there.
And he felt very at peace staying there every day.
It’s just that, he had already left her his contact information, but she hadn't sent a single message.
He had people investigate all information about her.
He only knew her name was Shi Wu, and that was the name she left when exchanging chips.
Other than that, he knew nothing.
This wisp of mist lingered in his heart, circling, circling…
Buzz, buzz.
His phone vibrated; it was a call from his special assistant.
These past few days, Pei Yanzhi didn’t allow anyone on the top floor, so to reach him, one could only call, though he didn’t always answer.
“Speak,” Pei Yanzhi pressed the answer button, his tone a bit impatient.
“Mr. Pei, Grandma is here, at the casino entrance.”
Pei Yanzhi frowned deeply, the wisp of mist in his heart instantly condensing into a dark cloud.
“Hmm, got it,” Pei Yanzhi stood up gloomily and went downstairs.
At the casino entrance, an elegantly dressed, white-haired old lady, leaning on a cane, stood angrily, saying she was waiting for Pei Yanzhi to come out.
Behind her was a line of black-suited bodyguards, looking ready for a fight.
A moment later, Pei Yanzhi emerged from the revolving door.
When he reached the old lady, he bent slightly, lowering his voice and asking softly, “Grandma, what are you up to again?”
As he spoke, his deep and bright eyes were fixed on the kind old woman, a hint of confusion and helplessness in his gaze.
“Go on a blind date!”
The old lady spoke, then forcefully raised her cane and struck the ground, making a dull thud.
