Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

"A bet?"

Gao Ning immediately laughed, looking down on Ye Ling with disdain, "What will you bet with me? That broken Chery of yours? Or these street stall clothes on your back?"

"That's for me to worry about. I can afford to lose, I'm just afraid you don't have the guts to bet," Ye Ling said.

"What kind of bet?" Gao Ning sneered.

Betting with someone who drives a Chery, and he wouldn't dare? What a joke!

"I don't know much about gambling on stones, you suggest something," Ye Ling spread his hands.

Upon hearing this, the waiter Han Lin immediately tugged at Ye Ling's clothes, worriedly saying, "You dare to bet without any knowledge? Isn't that just throwing money away? This Gao Ning is an expert at gambling on stones; many people have lost to him, and it's said that Gao Ning made his fortune through gambling on stones. You better not bet."

"It's okay," Ye Ling shook his head.

Seeing Ye Ling so stubborn, Han Lin really had no other choice.

"Looking at how poor you are, boy, I can tell you haven't gambled much on stones. You still dare to bet with me? Haven't you asked around to find out who I, Wang Ning, am?" Gao Ning scoffed.

The people around also shook their heads, thinking Ye Ling was truly a greenhorn unafraid of tigers, daring to gamble on stones with Gao Ning. It seemed like he was going to lose that Chery today.

"You talk too much, just tell me, do you dare to bet or not?" Ye Ling said impatiently.

"Why wouldn't I? Today I'll let you lose everything you own!"

Wang Ning's face jiggled with fat as he said, "Here's how it'll work. Each of us will choose a rough stone of the same price, sell it on the spot, and if, after cutting, one's stone is worth less than the other's, he will pay the difference."

"For instance, if mine is worth 10,000 after cutting and yours is worth 100,000, I'll pay you the difference of 90,000. Then, you'll still sell the jade on your own, getting twice the profit. How does that sound?"

Just by hearing this detailed explanation, you could tell that Gao Ning truly was a master of gambling on stones.

Other people might not dare to bet against Gao Ning.

Too bad, he was dealing with Ye Ling.

"Agreed," Ye Ling nodded.

"Humph, you're asking for it. Don't kneel on the ground begging me after you lose," Gao Ning warned with a cold smile as he was about to go select a rough stone.

"Wait."

Ye Ling suddenly stopped Gao Ning, saying, "What if I win and you can't afford to pay the difference?"

Before Gao Ning could reply, a burst of laughter echoed from those around them.

"Kid, you should worry about what you're going to do first!"

"This is really amusing; does he actually think the fatso Gao would lose to him? Doesn't he have a clue how much he's worth, daring to gamble on stones without any knowledge?"

"I'd like to know too, if you can't pay the difference, what will you do?"

Gao Ning also turned his head back, as Ye Ling's words served as a wake-up call for him.

A rough stone worth 50,000 or even 100,000, Ye Ling could possibly afford.

But if he ended up cutting a jade worth hundreds of thousands or millions, how would Ye Ling pay him?

Driving a broken Chery, did he also have over a million in savings?

"That's why,"

Ye Ling took out his bank card, tapped it against a rough stone and said, "I have about 1 million in cash on this card, we can have someone verify that on the spot."

"1 million?"

Gao Ning immediately showed contempt, "I really didn't see that coming, that this poor bloke has 1 million in savings. Don't tell me it's an allowance from some sugar mama keeping you?"

"Quit the nonsense," Ye Ling replied.

"Fine."

Gao Ning nodded and took out his own bank card, "I have 10 million in this card. Let's not brag; we can have the waiter check right now. How about that?"

Han Lin looked at Ye Ling and, after getting a nod from him, took a laptop and checked it out, finding indeed over 1 million and exactly 10 million in cash in their accounts, respectively.

"Kid, there's no fuss about gambling on stones; everyone's watching, and no one will dare to cheat. To me, that 10 million is just a small amount. If you have the skills today, feel free to win me over to bankruptcy. Even that BMW outside, I've been thinking about changing it anyway," Gao Ning boasted as many people gave him thumbs up, clearly thinking he was very generous.

Yet Gao Ning's wealth was not without reason; his courage in gambling on stones was well-known.

He had lost before, but never once had he welched on a deal. Those who knew Gao Ning were aware of this reputation.

"Yo, big brother Gao, what are you doing? Why waste time with a youngster? Why not have fun with these big brothers around us instead?"

Just then, a sultry voice carried through the air.

At the sound of this voice, nearly all the men present felt their bones turn soft, as if melting.

Without guessing, it was known to be Wang Ning Mei, the owner of the establishment.

Ye Ling also turned to look.

He saw a woman with a top-grade figure, fair skin, and extreme beauty approaching.

This woman radiated an allure that wasn't feigned but seemed to emanate from within her. Every movement and expression was tantalizing.

Luo You was also a seductive woman, but clearly, she paled in comparison to Wang Ning Mei.

Wang Ning Mei was around 30 years old but looked as if she were in her mid-twenties, with flawless skin.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, Wang Ning Mei's stunning beauty made every man pause and stare.

"Here's our boss, Wang Ning Mei," Han Lin whispered to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling nodded and smiled, "Your boss is quite beautiful. I wonder how many men she has ensnared."

"You better not let the boss hear you say that. Although she might appear irresistible on the surface, her means are quite severe!" Han Lin quickly added.

"Oh, it's little Wang,"

Gao Ning glanced over Wang Ning Mei's figure, smiling, "This youngster is picking a fight with me, insists on betting against me. If I don't bet, how can I continue to mix in the gambling stone circle?"

Wang Ning Mei smiled and nodded at Gao Ning. Approaching Ye Ling, she extended a slender hand, "Hello, I'm Wang Ning Mei, the owner here."

"Ye Ling."

Ye Ling smiled and shook hands with Wang Ning Mei.
