Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 933: I Like Rich People

Just as the man’s icy lips were about to touch the back of her hand, Gu Moqian quickly reached out to block them.

"Sorry, my lady doesn’t like being touched by strangers." He looked at the man and spoke lightly, his aura subtly intimidating.

The man was slightly stunned, then released Ji Wei’s hand: "I was too abrupt."

Ji Wei quickly withdrew her hand.

Though these gestures were customary in Europe, Ji Wei couldn’t help but feel uneasy. She wished she could rush to the washroom and wash her hand several times to rid herself of the unpleasant feeling.

"Come on, let’s go inside and talk." The man opened a nearby room door.

Gu Moqian noticed Ji Wei’s reaction and kissed her cheek reassuringly, leading her into the room.

The room was in typical European style, showing no signs of anything unusual.

"Mr. Jin must be curious as to why I invited you up here." The man began speaking proactively: "I like people like Mr. Jin, young, handsome, and wealthy. To put it plainly, I like rich people."

Ji Wei’s lips twitched slightly.

To be so forthright about loving money, truly impressive.

The man looked down at his watch, "The banquet is still half an hour away, why don’t we play something else first?"

What trick is this man planning?

Ji Wei looked at the man in confusion, watching him suddenly walk to an antique vase and gently rotate it. The solid wall in front of them slowly moved aside.

"Please, come in." The man respectfully made a gesture inviting them in.

Ji Wei exchanged a glance with Gu Moqian, silently advising him to be careful, and then they walked in together.

Inside the room was a staircase, and as they descended, the space became larger.

Soon, they heard a cacophony of voices mixed with the sound of dice being thrown.

Upon reaching the last step, Ji Wei suddenly realized this was a massive underground casino!

So, the people here attending the banquet are just a front; they’re really here to gamble!

No wonder this man wants to gather wealthy elites; he’s assembling a team of patsies. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"I’m not leaving! I can gamble again, this time I will win..."

A Middle Eastern merchant, stripped down to only his underwear and with a bushy beard, was shouting incoherently as two bodyguards rudely dragged him away from the casino.

The gambler’s mindset is to want to gamble more the more they lose, but the more they gamble, the more they lose.

In such a large casino, there might be some unsavory manipulation behind the scenes. Most people who come here end up donating their fortune rather than leaving with winnings.

"Mr. Jin, are you interested in a gamble? Just a few minutes, and your wealth could be multiplied several times." The man spoke temptingly, his tone akin to a salesperson pitching a product.

Gu Moqian had seen through the man’s intentions right from the start. People who love money are actually the easiest to deal with, and he felt more relaxed now.

"Alright, since we’re here, let’s try our luck." He replied.

Ji Wei couldn’t believe Gu Moqian agreed, looking at him incredulously. He turned and gave her a gentle smile and patted her soft hand.

Meaning, trust that he knows his limits.

Ji Wei believed he wouldn’t lose like the Middle Eastern merchant earlier, but still had lingering worries.

After all, in gambling, no one can guarantee definite wins.

"Mr. Jin, you seem experienced, this table suits you better. Enjoy yourselves." The man led them to the largest gambling table in the center.
