Chapter 254 - A Bet for Herself
Chapter 254: A Bet for Herself
Gu Chaoyan had already learned of the history of Saint College, but she felt that Saint College had been drifting away from the original intention of the founder to the present day. Saint College had become a place for many noble ladies to show off. It made them feel quite proud to be part of Saint College so that they could marry someone extraordinary in the future.
The wagon pulled over, and Gu Chaoyan was aware that they had just arrived.
She hopped off the wagon and saw a very magnificent building. The characters Saint College were embodied upon a board on the top.
As she came to Saint College, Gu Ruxue and her servants were taking the lead as if she were afraid of being seen with Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan did not care. She did not want to be seen with Gu Ruxue either.
No one was receiving them at this stage, since it was just an examination. So every participant received a key and picked a room to stay at Saint College.
It was very lively inside Saint College.
Gu Chaoyan saw a crowd gathered in the center. She never liked to be part of the bustling crowd, yet as she passed by the crowd, she heard someone shouting loudly from inside. “Only fools would think Gu Chaoyan could win. County Princess Anxi is so talented, so of course she is going to be the winner.”
She became a wager?
Gu Chaoyan had decided to leave, but then she ceased walking. She walked towards the crowd.
Many people seemed to be interested in this bet. Gu Chaoyan had not expected that her bet with County Princess Anxi had become news to be spread around among all of them.
A cold voice arose. “I think Gu Chaoyan can win.”
Then she brought out a lot of money from her pocket.
Her voice quieted down the whole crowd. They all turned to her with disbelief. They looked at her as if they were staring at a fool.
The useless miss of the Gu Family was never going to win in the match against County Princess Anxi.
“Girl, I am telling you not to take Gu Chaoyan’s side. The money will be gone if you insist.” One man dressed in a set of luxurious clothes sounded very kind-hearted.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head and said, “She is going to win.”
The words caused a lot of laughter. She was not going to win. She was so useless!
The kind-hearted man asked with laughter. “You can’t be her friend, are you? Even if that is the case, you should not believe that she is going to win!”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head. That man thought that he could talk her out of the bet, if she was not her friend.
He was about to talk when Gu Chaoyan added with a calm voice, “I am Gu Chaoyan.”
Having said these words, she passed her money. “You won’t cheat with this bet, will you?”
After all she was going to get ten times this amount when she won. Gu Chaoyan would not be happy if the doubled amount was not given back.
Among the crowd a figure dressed in white came to her with several servants following behind. He had not intended to step out, but this girl did seem interesting to place a bet on herself.
Since she suspected he was going to cheat, Zhou Huaiyu believed that he had to give an explanation. “I set up a gambling house here every year, and I have never cheated. So please don’t be worried.”
Gu Chaoyan almost choked herself with a small cough.
No wonder someone dared to start a bet here – it was a Lord who started all of this.
“But girl, are you taking your own side? It is the first time for me to see such a way of gambling.”
