Liland is a famous art sanctuary, and at the same time, it is also a world-renowned gambling city.
There are countless devout art pursuers, as well as countless crazy gamblers.
Some people poured their enthusiasm and love on that land, and some people gambled all their wealth and life, fighting for life and death.
Some people become famous overnight, while others get rich overnight.
Of course, more people spend their lives in obscurity, and more people go bankrupt.
Paradise—the Garden of Eden.
The largest underground casino in Leeland.
He and Shen Li visited once three years ago, but after that time, they left Lilan and never mentioned it again.
The host city of this World Racing Championship is scheduled to be in Liland, Shen Li, as the captain of LY, has no choice but to go.
This is a forced choice, and there is no other way but to do so.
But now, Shen Li actually offered to go to Paradise? !
Shen Li had expected his reaction long ago, so she didn't care about his words, and only said:
"I didn't drink at night, I'm sober now."
Couldn't be more sober.
But obviously Wen Xiao didn't think so.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound calm:
"... Ali, I don't care if you drink or not, I will not agree to this matter."
"I've made my decision."
Shen Li's answer was straightforward.
The meaning of her words is obvious: she has already thought about it, and she will definitely do it. At this time, she is not discussing with him, but notifying him.
Wen Xiao was dying of a headache.
When she said that, it proved that she really made up her mind and would not change it.
No matter what he said, he probably wouldn't be able to persuade him.
but-
"Why?"
Hearing Xiao Fu's forehead, he couldn't understand it,
"Isn't the loss you suffered three years ago not enough? You still have to go now? I didn't say that you will pay off the debts you owed back then—"
"Paid off."
Shen Li interrupted him calmly, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, as if smiling,
"The debt relationship between me and Saint has been discharged."
Wen Xiao reacted for a while before she understood what she was talking about:
"Have you paid it off? You advanced—no, that's not the point, anyway, it's just a matter of these few days..."
He thought for a while, finally understood, and almost laughed:
"You have just paid off your debts, and you are going to repeat the same mistakes? Ancestor, I know you have money now, but it's not such a waste of money, right? You—"
"Whether the same mistakes are repeated, no one can say until the last moment."
Shen Li leaned on the back of the chair, and the man's low and smiling voice came back to her ears.
—It's a pity.
Her slender white fingers tapped the table lightly:
"At that time, Saint will also go."
Wen Xiao suddenly became quiet.
After a while, he asked in disbelief:
"you sure?"
Shen Li gave a faint "hmm".
Wen Xiao was silent for a long while, and then said:
"... So, you actually went after him this time?"
Shen Li didn't need to answer, he already had a clear answer in his heart.
He could feel the cold and dangerous aura through the phone.
That's right, Saint cheated her three years ago, and this time the horse race betting has stabilized her. Of course, she is not convinced.
Can…
Wen Xiao pressed his temple, and reluctantly persuaded:
"Have you figured it out? Ari, that's Saint."
If it is against other people, her winning rate should be very high, just like in Liland, she won all the bets she participated in.
But if the opponent is Saint, it's really hard to say, after all, the only game she lost at that time was against him.
Including this horse bet, she still lost.
From Wen Xiao's point of view, even though he didn't want to admit it, he did feel that Shen Li still had no chance of winning against Saint again.
"Aside from other troubles, even if you can match him in the end and lose again—what should you do?"
Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself
The corners of Shen Li's lips raised silently, forming an arc.
She said:
"This time, I won't lose."
Wen Xiao heard her tone was determined, only as if she was angry at losing to Saint again in the horse betting.
Persuasion is not enough, he can only let out a long sigh:
"...Forget it, I'll talk about it when I wake up tomorrow. Since you caused so many troubles in Lilan back then, if you want to go again, you will be in trouble, let alone Paradise."
Although it was a complaint, Shen Li knew that he agreed.
"Thank you, Uncle Wen."
Wen Xiao felt that her "thank you" was not enough to make up for her mental loss tonight.
"Okay, hang up."
He hung up the phone, put the phone down, and went back to sleep.
Holding the phone, Shen Li clicked on Lu Huaiyu's dialog box, and after reading it for a few seconds, she typed a few words slowly.
[Good night.]
Saint.
…
Although Gambler's early repayment was somewhat unexpected, Lu Huaiyu didn't pay too much attention to it.
Lu's recently had several major projects that he needed to personally handle, so he returned to Beijing the day after the horse race.
The secret contest at the Jockey Club was also because he was sure that he would win, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
In short, everything about Gambler seems to end with the end of the Jockey Club and the repayment of the last debt.
Shen Li stayed in Hong Kong City.
Shen Zhijin stayed here with her for two more days, but then left because of work.
However, Shen Li still lived a fulfilling life every day.
Sometimes I chat with Mr. Gu, and sometimes I drink tea with Mrs. Gu.
At other times, I either paint or go to Mier Lab, and I spend most of the day there.
This morning, brothers Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng called her and invited her to play at home.
Shen Li remembered that she had indeed promised to help them with their homework when she had time.
In fact, with the grades of the two of them, she doesn't need extra help to make up lessons. This invitation is purely because of her.
So Shen Li simply cleaned up and prepared to go.
When going out, I happened to see Gu Tinglan in the living room.
"Little uncle."
She said hello.
Gu Tinglan asked casually, "Where is Ah Li going?"
Shen Li said: "Second uncle's house."
Gu Tinglan smiled slightly:
"To help Siqi and the others make up lessons?"
Shen Li paused and looked over slowly.
Gu Tinglan had already stood up:
"Coincidentally, I also have something to go to the second brother's house, together?"
Shen Li: "..."
…
Half an hour later, the two of Shen Li arrived at Gu Tingchuan's house together.
The two brothers really didn't have much homework to study, but they ran over with a few copies of "Universe".
Shen Li simply told them about the research direction and content of her thesis.
Of course, it was in the living room, and Gu Tinglan and Gu Tingchuan were also there.
Gu Tinglan looked at the harmonious picture of Shen Li and the three sitting together, and suddenly smiled and said:
"By the way, Ali, when is your next painting going to be auctioned?"
