Chapter 236: Friend, Companion, Family
As they were walking, Bai Zhou suddenly leaned towards Jian Ai. He looked ahead and said, “Sect Master, since you wanted to come to Macau, it’s not because of the casino, right?”
Jian Ai glanced at Bai Zhou and smiled. “Otherwise? Do you think I’m here to see the sea?”
Bai Zhou: “…”
Bai Zhou was slightly disappointed. As expected, the Sect Master could not spend his money with a clear conscience.
“I know your loyalty.” Jian Ai suddenly opened her mouth and said gently, “I also know that you have a lot of money, but I still want to rely on myself.”
As she spoke, Jian Ai smiled at Bai Zhou. “Bai Zhou, you have already done me a great favor. If not for you, I might have to wait for a long time before I can have my own company. What you have done is enough.”
When Bai Zhou heard this, he lowered his head in horror. “Sect Master, don’t say that. I am willing to give up everything for you, even my life.”
This was not the first time Bai Zhou had said this, and it was always very sincere.
Jian Ai was touched. She never doubted Bai Zhou’s loyalty to her, but she couldn’t help but smile. “Your life is yours. No matter what, you can’t sacrifice it for me.”
With that, Jian Ai kept her expression and looked up at Bai Zhou with a serious expression. “Perhaps in your heart, you and I are master and servant. This kind of relationship might be deeply rooted in you, and I might not be able to change it for a while. But in my heart, you are a friend, a companion, and even a family member to me.”
Seeing the determination in Jian Ai’s eyes, Bai Zhou’s heart seemed to have been struck by a blow. His eyes turned slightly sour and tears almost fell.
“Sect Master…”
Jian Ai pursed her lips and smiled. She gently held Bai Zhou’s hand and said gently, “So, no matter what, I won’t let you give up your life for anyone, even if that person is me!”
Bai Zhou’s handsome face was filled with gratitude, and his heart was like a gale that blew past his knees!
What kind of honor was Sect Master’s words to him just now?! He regretted not recording it so that he could copy it for everyone else!
‘I’ll let them see that although I, Bai Zhou, have nothing other than money, the Sect Master said these words to me sincerely. She treats me as a friend, a companion, and even a family member. She can’t bear to take my life!’
‘As for you? Hah.’
‘Be envious, mortals!’
He would have to prepare a recording pen with him at all times in the future.
“Sect Master, are you planning to use your mental cultivation techniques?” Bai Zhou came back to his senses and pulled back the topic. “To cheat?”
“Tsk!” Jian Ai looked at Bai Zhou disapprovingly. “How can it be considered cheating?”
That was because her eyesight was better than others, so she could see what others couldn’t.
“Isn’t that so?” Bai Zhou still thought that it was.
Jian Ai said with certainty, “Of course not!”
“Alright.” Bai Zhou didn’t argue and asked again, “How much does Sect Master plan to win this time?”
Jian Ai paused. She had not thought about a specific sum, but she could not win a few billion yuan at once. That would be too conspicuous. She might get assassinated before she could even leave Macau.
However, tens of millions of yuan seemed to be too little. It was common to win or lose tens of millions of yuan a day in Macau’s casinos. Even if they won a hundred million yuan, they would not be able to last long after they’ve returned to China and invested it in the company’s operations.
“It depends on my mood!” Jian Ai raised her eyebrows after a while.
Anyway, there were a few days. She was not stupid. She would not win a few hundred million yuan a day. She could just split the sum up.
