Chapter 161

However, for Xiao Ming, who has seen so much of the world and endured so many hardships, it's nothing.

Xiao Ming saw the reaction of the few children, fell silent, and said, "In a moment, I'll take you there to play, just to broaden your horizons."

"Dad, that kind of place, we'd better not go, right?" Geng Jing Shu, although she hadn't been there, had also heard a bit about how deep the waters there are.

"It's fine." Xiao Ming said dismissively, "How that song is sung, society is very simple; what's truly complicated is the human heart. If you can keep yourself in check, that place isn't scary at all. Going to see more of it isn't bad either."

Xiao Ming simply wanted to take a few children there to see the world, so that they wouldn't be overly curious about that place in the future.

His children, Xiao Ming's children, will inevitably have to go in and out of various situations in the future; letting them be frogs in a well is hardly wise.

He used to occasionally go to the casino with some business friends to play, but he always knew that the waters there were too deep; going occasionally was merely to accommodate those business friends.

Over all these years, he has always been able to treat gambling rationally.

"Dad, are we all going?" Xiao Yuchun felt both apprehensive and curious about that place in her heart.

The other few children, although they didn't show it, also wanted very much to go and take a look after hearing Xiao Ming say that.

"Of course." Xiao Ming nodded and said, after finishing the activity at the foot massage center, he took the few children to the casino across the street.

He exchanged 200,000 yuan in chips, distributed them to the few children, and said, "Go play, winning or losing doesn't matter, there's no psychological burden; I brought you here just to experience life."

After hearing Xiao Ming say that, the few children indeed felt much less burdened and all wanted very much to experience what it feels like to sit at a gambling table.

Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu formed a pair; Geng Jing Shu was more interested in the roulette wheel, so he took her to play roulette.

Geng Jing Shu's luck was not bad; after a few rounds, she actually won every time: "Baby, I didn't expect your luck to be this good."

"It's our child's luck that's good; my luck is all brought by him, hehe." Geng Jing Shu smiled in a good mood and rubbed her slightly protruding belly.

Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun, being two innocent girls, lost all their chips in no time.

However, they didn't take it to heart; Dad had said that winning or losing doesn't matter, it's just to bring them here to experience life, and indeed they got a full experience, which counts as having already seen what gambling is like.

Afterward, the two little girls clung to Xiao Ming's side, watching him play.

Xiao Ming chose to play "Flush", a simple and rough game.

Xiao Ming's mind works extremely fast, his judgment is also extremely accurate; he can determine the opponent's confidence, whether they have confidence, from their expression, the speed of their movements, whether they hesitate, etc., and that all depends on the size of the cards in his hand.

Moreover, he doesn't care about winning or losing; after years of mingling in the business world, he has long cultivated an unflappable heart.

Whether the cards are good or bad in size does not affect his mood.

From the moment he joined the table, Xiao Ming has been in a state of small losses and big wins; before long, his chips had multiplied several times.

"Good heavens, Dad, you're too amazing!" Xiao Yuchun exclaimed, seeing this, and cheered happily.

Xiao Ming let Xiao Yuchun sit beside him and started playing with her.

After Xiao Jingrou had her fill, she seemed to lose much of her interest in gambling.

"Dad, I'm going to the restroom for a moment." Xiao Jingrou came to Xiao Ming's side and greeted him; Xiao Ming nodded, and Xiao Jingrou walked toward the restroom.

Xiao Ming felt uneasy, gave a glance to the few bodyguards not far away, and those bodyguards immediately followed Xiao Jingrou.

Those few bodyguards were all hired by Xiao Ming, all female; protecting daughters and daughters-in-law would be much more convenient, they are all highly skilled martial arts experts, their abilities no different from those senior bodyguards around him.

They dress like ordinary people, so no one can tell them apart.

This place is a gathering spot for demons and monsters; he couldn't feel at ease leaving his daughter alone there.

The facts proved that Xiao Ming's worry was not unfounded.

After Xiao Jingrou came out of the restroom, just as she was about to walk toward Xiao Ming's side, unexpectedly, a man in his twenties blocked her path, his eyes lecherously fixed on Xiao Jingrou.

"Beautiful lady, are you here alone? Would you mind making friends?" The man, grinning, approached Xiao Jingrou; he was also a citizen of Wuxingguo and spoke directly to her in Chinese.

His eyes seemed to want to dig out and stick onto Xiao Jingrou's body.

Xiao Jingrou could tell at a glance that the man had ill intentions; she didn't want to bother with him and turned to leave.

But she had barely turned when the man immediately went to the other side and blocked her path again.

"Beautiful lady, let me introduce myself; I'm Chen Moyu of the Qingqu Group." The man paid no heed to Xiao Jingrou's coldness, adopting a posture determined to pester her to the end.

"Get out of my way, I have no interest in who you are." Xiao Jingrou felt a little panicked; such a man, even a second glance made her feel nauseous, and if he kept pestering her, who knows what he might do to her.

Yet Chen Moyu still wore a hippie-smile: "But I am interested in you."

Xiao Jingrou was almost fed up listening; this man was also too despicable, able to utter such shameless words.

At this moment, the bodyguard sent by Xiao Ming to protect Xiao Jingrou stepped forward, shielding Xiao Jingrou behind him, his pair of indifferent eyes coldly staring at Chen Moyu; he said nothing, just tilted his head, indicating for Chen Moyu to get lost.

Chen Moyu had still wanted to pester a bit more, but the bodyguard directly grabbed his wrist; he immediately winced in pain and stepped back a few steps, his face full of anger.

Just as he was about to order his attendants, at this moment Chen Moyu saw the valuable accessories on Xiao Jingrou's hands and neck, and immediately realized her identity was not simple.

The commotion here attracted the attention of everyone in the casino; facing the spectators' gleeful gazes, Chen Moyu suppressed his inner resentment and bowed 2030 to Xiao Jingrou, saying, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Afterward, he left with his attendants.

Xiao Jingrou, still shaken, looked at the woman who had shielded her behind her, and not far away stood several other women who looked very formidable.

Xiao Jingrou immediately understood; this was arranged by her father to protect her.

Dad's thinking was far too thorough; otherwise, we wouldn't know what awaited her.

"Thank you!" she said, hurriedly returning to Xiao Ming's side.

Seeing her complexion not looking good, Xiao Ming asked worriedly, "Jingrou, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Xiao Jingrou told her father everything that had just happened; hearing it, Xiao Ming instantly flew into a rage.
