Chapter 40: Angry Uncle
This is not the first time Lu Zheng has been here in Yuzhifang. Every time he comes, he can feel that the lights inside are more dazzling and dreamy. Of course, under the red lights and wine, he gradually becomes a kind of degenerate luxury.
Lu Zheng followed the address left when Carl and Iris talked on the phone, and came to Room No. 3 of the building, but he didn't expect that outside, he was stopped by a bald man in a suit. The bald man looked at Lu Zheng with his eyes slanted, and asked, "Who are you? Can you have your friends here?"
Lu Zheng was slightly surprised. The bodyguards of the Sandru family were not so superficial according to the principle. Did he go to the wrong room and ask: "Are Carl and Paul inside? Two Germans."
The bald man was stunned.
Lu Zheng knew that he had found the wrong room and said, "You go in and say, my name is Lu Zheng."
The bald man thought about it and pushed the door into the house. The moment he opened the door, the noise and turbid heat in the room rushed over.
After a while, the bald man came in, he pushed open the door when he came back, ticked his chin, and said, "Go in."
Lu Zheng ignored his rudeness and flicked into the house, but saw a lot of sitting on both sides of the wide coffee table.
The extremely tall and strong Cole was very eye-catching, and she had not changed a lot from her appearance a few years ago. Among the people sitting next to him, there was a tall and thin white young man, very handsome, probably his cousin Paul, but at this moment, Carl and Paul were very busy. When Lu Zheng came in, Carl just raised his hand to signal Lu Zheng, turned his head, and shook the dice again.
Opposite Carl, there was a short and fat man, smiling happily, the beautiful women beside him hugged each other, and there were also a bunch of idle figures cheering.
Lu Zheng sat in a corner of the sofa, watching them play.
"Haha, you lost again." After Carl shook three, four and five, the short fat man quickly shook four, five and six, and then laughed happily.
Carl's face turned pale and he took out a few green bills and threw them on the table. It should be US dollars. The short and fat man picked it up and kissed it on his mouth, laughing and said, "Thank you, buddy."
Paul smiled and said, "Carl, it seems that you are not as lucky as this one, so let the goddess of fate give it to him.
Anger appeared on Carl's face, and he touched his pocket, as if he had no money, so he turned to Paul and said, "Do you still have money?"
Paul advised, "Forget it, stop betting, you can't win."
Carl gritted his teeth and said, "No, I don't want to lose to the Chinese."
The short and fat man smiled and said, "Two young masters from the Federal Germany, you are both rich people. Don't you think the gambling method is too boring now? I think this way, let's bet 10,000 US dollars at a time, and if you keep betting, whoever loses can't stand it, then leave and win, Xiaoyu, of course, is the prize." As he said, he smiled and pointed to a girl sitting next to Carl. He glanced at Carl again, "How about it, do you dare to bet with me Lao Ba?"
When Lu Zheng heard this, he gradually understood that it must be Carl and Paul going to the bar. I don’t know why the girl had a dispute with this short and fat man named Lao Ba, and finally started gamble.
In fact, although the girl named Xiaoyu was born pretty, she had never seen any girl with Carl's family background. At this moment, she was just alcohol and gambled. And listening to her words, although her cousin Paul kept persuading her, she felt that it was adding fuel to the fire and making things worse and worse. I don't know if it was an illusion.
"How is it, let's forget it if you don't dare." Lao Ba looked arrogant.
The translator who was following Carl whispered to Carl and Paul was saying something, probably the short and fat man's words. Then Carl gritted his teeth, took off his watch, put it on the table, and said, "I bought this watch for more than 30,000 US dollars, which is 20,000."
Lao Ba laughed and said, "Okay, I can trust you, but in front of me, I can collect the watch, but I don't want your clothes, shoes and hats. Although Lao Ba is so smart, I can tell that they are all good things." The idle people next to me burst into laughter.
Carl had a blue face and made a gesture, "Come"
After two consecutive games, Carl lost, so Lao Ba took the watch on the coffee table and smiled and said, "Come on, this watch is good." He put it on his wrist with great pride.
Carl's face looked extremely ugly, and he was whispering something to Paul, as if he was going to take off Paul's watch and ring.
Lao Ba smiled and said, "Young Master, if you want to bet, I will accompany you. It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. I can trust you. You can write an IOU and I will take it with you when I look back."
Paul lowered his voice and said to Carl: "Stop betting, Grandpa knows that you will be punished. You know, Grandpa doesn't like you at all."
Carl suddenly shook Paul away and said to Lao Ba: "Come again."
Next, although Carl occasionally won, he lost more than he won. Within a few minutes, he was owed 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly. For the Sandru family, this amount of money is naturally a drop in the bucket, but Carl and Paul should only be training in the family business and do not have the ability to pay large sums of money. When they come to China, checks cannot be used, and they will not carry so much cash with them. Moreover, when they come to China to send their sister to get married, they bet with others in the bar. If the news is leaked, Carl will definitely be a playboy in the family. Perhaps, if this continues, he will be the marginal figure of the family like him and Iris' father. In this way, he will naturally lose the opportunity to inherit and run the family business.
Lu Zheng walked over and squeezed Paul away, sat beside Carl, and said with a smile: "Carl, I'll bet with him. If I can't do it, you can take over."
Paul frowned and looked at Lu Zheng who was honest and rude and pushed himself away, but he quickly smiled and stretched out his hand, "You are Lu from China, I'm really sorry. I've been persuading Carl and didn't have time to say hello to you.
In fact, Lu Zheng could feel that when he entered the house, Paul looked at him and focused on the gambling table. Obviously, he didn't take himself seriously.
However, Lu Zheng also smiled, shook hands with him, and said, "Paul, I'm glad to know you."
While Carl was hesitating, Paul said to him: "Carl, let Iris's husband help you. Lu is a Chinese and should be a good gambling player."
In Paul's words, it seems that Chinese people are gamblers, which is also the image of Chinese people in the eyes of many Westerners. Prostitutes standing on the street, thin gamblers, dirty restaurants, and the Chinese world is like this in the eyes of the upper class of Western society.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Carl seemed particularly taboo to put Lu Zheng and his sister together. He was hesitant, but then he shook Lu Zheng's hand away and said in a muffled voice: "I'll do it myself."
Lu Zheng gently pressed his hand that was about to get the dice, lowered his voice and said in Carl's ear: "If I can't do it, come again, Carl, I know you don't think I'm worthy of your sister. To be honest, I don't like you either, but God's arrangement has made us relatives, and I won't harm you."
