My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce - Chapter 675

Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Is Chen Yuan Working for the Xie Family?

Lu Yanxi glanced guiltily at Lu Lingche sitting across from her, jumped the gun and said, “Um, I was just a bit curious. It seems like others get addicted when they gamble, and they might squander their entire fortune. So, I was wondering if someone like me would also fall into that trap if I tried?”

“You won’t. Owei Island attracts a large number of tourists every year. A lot of them are drawn there specifically for the legal casinos on the island. However, most of them are just there for the experience. Many young girls like you will go, play a few hands just for fun, then leave”

Xie Xingchen must deal with these kinds of questions frequently since his answer came as smoothly as the routine acts of eating or drinking,”Of course, there are also veteran gamblers who would go bankrupt, borrow money from everywhere, just to gamble. However, you don’t have to worry. I wouldn’t let any of my friends become overly obsessed like that. Besides, all the casinos on the island are very legitimate now. If one loses too much money, there would be people advising against continuing.”

Listening to his words, Qiao Yin started to feel a strange sensation.

Previously, because of the car Xie Xingchen sold her, she perceived him as a good person. However, she now felt that he was not as harmless and gentle as he seemed.

Owei Island is the only place where gambling is legal in the country, and the casinos on the island are all government-controlled.

Qiao Yin hadn’t paid much attention to this matter before. It was only now she recalled that the owner of the largest casino on Owei Island seemed to bear the surname Xie, the same person who previously donated a whopping five hundred million to an earthquake-stricken area.

Probably because of his charitable act, many mainland tourists, when visiting Owei Island, would prefer to gamble in the Xie family’s casino.

Isn’t gambling, gambling, after all? If they were to lose money at a casino owned by a charitable boss, they could comfort themselves by thinking that they had merely donated to a disaster area.

Could Chen Yuan be working for the Xie family?

Yet, when he saw Xie Xingchen last night, it was clear that he did not recognize him.

Perhaps Chen Yuan’s ranking is too low, and he doesn’t have the qualifications to meet the Xie family’s young master?

Lu Yanxi shared the same thought with Qiao Yin. She believed that Chen Yuan could be working for the Xie family, luring customers to gamble for a commission. However, he hadn’t attracted many customers yet, so he had no access to people of Xie Xingchen’s level.

She hesitated for a moment before asking what she wanted to know most, “Do you hire people to draw in customers to gamble on the island? What I mean is, would you deceive people into gambling by pretending to be their friends?”

Xie Xingchen laughed, “The type of person you’re talking about is called a bate-ficha, essentially a middleman. They do exist. Many high-rollers are meticulously handled by these bate-fichas, which makes it easier for them to earn high commissions. However, there is no such thing as deceit. Everyone is there voluntarily.”

Lu Yanxi’s heart sank at these words.

Could Chen Yuan have really become a casino intermediary?

Even though the gambling industry on Owei Island is legal, she still didn’t think it was a proper career, and she definitely didn’t want Chen Yuan to fall into it.

In her heart, Chen Yuan was the kindest and sunniest of men, he should not be reduced to a shadowy figure luring people to gamble.

The always silent Lu Lingche suddenly asked, “Lu Yanxi, isn’t your auction house enough for you to play with that you have to go gamble as well?”

Lu Yanxi heard his harsh tone and hurriedly shook her head, “No, no. It’s just out of curiosity. I’m just asking. There’s absolutely no other intention!”

“Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you planning to bring Qiao Yin to the casino?”

“No, absolutely not! How could I do such a thing!”

Lu Lingche, in truth, was not worried about Lu Yanxi taking Qiao Yin to gamble. With Xie Xingchen there, if they were to go, he would know immediately.

He casually commented, “I haven’t asked you yet. What were you doing lurking outside someone else’s office earlier?”
