Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming
Chapter 678: The Wager

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: The Wager

"Fine! If you want to play with fire, then I’m game. We’ll each pick a stone, and whoever buys the stone that reveals something of higher value wins. But if there’s no wager, why would I gamble with you?" Liu Chuanfeng truly looked down on Bai Xiao.

Shang Kaiwen advised with some reluctance, "Bai Xiao! Stop being impulsive. Manager Liu is a renowned figure in this industry. You don’t need to be at odds with him. We can talk about our issues later. Why be stubborn with me?"

She was afraid Bai Xiao might run off halfway.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiao replied, "Since Mr. Liu has said so! Without a bet, it wouldn’t be proper. As you know, I just won twenty million outside. If you win, I’ll give you another twenty million. But if you lose, I want you to swear off the raw stone trade for life. What do you say?"

Liu Chuanfeng sneered, "Are you joking? You think you can buy a lifetime with a mere twenty million? Who do you think you are!" He couldn’t believe the audacity of this woman to say something so preposterous.

"Indeed, it was a bit unfair of me to say that. Then, what do you think would be worthy of your status?" Bai Xiao was determined to make Liu Chuanfeng lose face today. She wouldn’t be Bai Xiao if she didn’t bring him down a peg.

Shang Kaiwen’s eyes flickered, sensing a rare opportunity. She gently tugged at Liu Chuanfeng’s sleeve. Liu Chuanfeng had followed her for years and knew all about her grudges with Bai Xiao, and he instantly understood what Shang Kaiwen was aiming for.

"It’s simple. If you win, I will agree to swear off the raw stone industry for life and leave it behind. But if I win, you must respectfully call Miss Shang ’sister’, acknowledging your heritage and returning to your family roots. Do you dare?" Liu Chuanfeng genuinely cared for Shang Kaiwen.

Shang Kaiwen shook her head sadly, "Don’t push my sister. It’s understandable if she doesn’t want to recognize us. Given time, she will eventually see our true hearts." She had the air of a considerate younger sister, concerned for Bai Xiao’s well-being.

Everyone had already begun to imagine this saga. Is this a tale of sisters recognizing each other or one of mutual destruction?

It seems to be a family affair.

Especially since Liu Chuanfeng is a distinguished expert in the industry—everyone knows him. With his keen eye for stones, he’s practically a living God of Wealth. If it weren’t for his steadfastness, who knows how many people would try to steal him away?

After all, his unwavering loyalty to the Shang Family was like a living billboard.

This young girl challenging him to a bet is bound to lose nine times out of ten.

Bai Xiao couldn’t stand the sight of Shang Kaiwen acting as if she had everyone’s best interests at heart. That act is how Kaiwen had deceived her in the past, and whenever she put on such a facade, it moved everyone around her. In the eyes of others, she was the epitome of compassion, always considering others—a veritable saint.

This is what they call a ’white lotus’, but who sees what happens behind the scenes? How dark can this white lotus truly get?

"Good, since Mr. Liu is so generous, I won’t hold back either. I accept!"

Shao Ming spoke up, "Of course, besides these terms, let’s bet another twenty million. Mr. Liu wouldn’t be scared, right? Twenty million is nothing to you."

It seemed this woman was actually Bai Xiao’s sister. Although he didn’t know the specifics of their feud, he knew even if they lost, it wouldn’t really hold. Even if it did, they wouldn’t push Bai Xiao to her demise.

Little did he know the true relationship between Shang Kaiwen and Bai Xiao.
