Bai Xianyu walked to the supervisor’s side and gave him a reassuring look.
The supervisor took a step back.
“Miss, this person is Liu Jian, the son of Liu Daosheng, the richest man in Jiangnan. He brought a group of people over just now and told me that it was his first time in Liang Province and to serve him the best dishes, which 1 did. In the end, not long after, he said that there were bugs inside. 1 apologized and wanted to make amendments but he was unwilling to accept.”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Jian said, “Yo, looks like you’re his superior?”
“No.” Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows coldly. “My Young Master is in the carriage. Fortune Inn is just one of the many restaurants under his name. There is no room for others to covet it.”
Bai Li,”…”
Even the supervisor was baffled by her words. Could it be that the power behind this girl was her Young Master?
Everyone followed her gaze to the carriage outside the door.
At this moment, the person inside also raised a corner of the curtain, revealing the man’s lower jaw and lips.
Liu Jian did not think much of it. “You’re playing tricks. How much money can a person with a shambolic restaurant have? I’ll definitely buy it today!”
“Our Young Master doesn’t have anything else, but he has a lot of money. You might not be able to compare to him.”
“So powerful?” Liu Jian smiled and said, “In the entire Liang Province city, you’re the first person who dares to speak to me like this.”
Bai Xianyu also smiled. “Then let’s compete?”
“Compete in what?”
“Let’s see who has more banknotes.” Bai Xianyu was simple and crude. “Find a table. You put a banknote down, and 1’11 put double the banknotes. In the end, whoever cannot take out any more banknotes is the loser. The winner can take all the banknotes the other party put out. How about that?”
She was confident. She had come back to Liang Province to set up a martial arts practice and run a restaurant. She had brought a lot of money.
Liu Jian burst out laughing. “Hahahaha!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“What a joke. Eldest Brother Liu, she said she wants to compete with you on who has more money, hahaha.”
“Hahaha, i can’t take it anymore. Let me cool down. My stomach hurts from laughing.”
“Beauty, don’t think that you can provoke our Eldest Brother Liu just because you have a little money on you. In his eyes, you’re all poor people, hahahaha!”
The supervisor was also very worried. “Miss, are you confident?”
Bai Xianyu smiled. “Don’t worry.”
She had never lost to anyone in terms of money.
When the men were done laughing, Liu Jian looked at her and licked his lips. “Alright! Bring the table over!”
The surrounding spectators took the initiative to vacate their seats, waiting to watch a good show. The supervisor asked the waiter to move the table to the center between Bai Xianyu and Liu Jian. The two of them stood at one end each. “Do you want to go first or 1?”
“I’ll go first!” Liu Jian took out a money bag from his attendant, took out an ingot of gold, and slapped it on the table. “You follow!”
Bai Xianyu glanced at it and frowned awkwardly. “That’s all?”
Two times was still too little. She did not have any change.
Liu Jian was stunned. He gritted his teeth and took the entire money bag. “What about now?”
Bai Xianyu did not even look at it and casually took out three banknotes.
Then, she brought a chair over and sat down. “Continue.”
Liu Jian looked at the three banknotes worth 1,000 taels of silver and suddenly felt that something was wrong. However, since things had come to this, he could only console himself that he was thinking too much.
Soon, he had used up all the pieces of silver and gold he had on him!
As for Bai Xianyu, she arrogantly pulled out a large stack and placed it on the table. She counted and said, “There’s 20,000 taels here. Take out 10,000 taels.”
Cold sweat started to form on Liu Jian’s forehead.
“Ten… Ten thousand taels.”
Everyone looked over when they heard his voice. There was a stack of small banknotes and a thousand taels of silver in front of the man. It was obvious that they were put together sporadically.
On the other hand, the young woman’s banknotes were neatly stacked, and she took out a few more in front of everyone.
Liu Jian already wanted to stop, but with so many people here, he did not have the face to go back on his word!
He looked at the people beside him and his face turned green. “Lend me some money.”
The few of them were stunned for a moment before nodding with subtle expressions. They were all Young Masters of rich families, so they would definitely have a lot of banknotes on them when they came out to have fun.
Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t borrowing money against the rules?”
“If they lend it to me, then it’s mine! How is that against the rules? It’s not like I won’t return it!”
Bai Xianyu’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Sure.”
Anyway, the more he borrowed, the more she would win.
Just like that, Liu Jian raised another 10,000 taels!
Bai Xianyu had to take out 20,000 taels, which was 20 notes of 1,000 taels!
