What if My Brother is Too Good?
chapter-32

Mo Ze stroked his chin and in an indifferent tone, he said, “Let’s play five-card stud. Let’s set forth a wager. If I win, then she will belong to me. President Huo, what do you think?”

T/N: five-card stud is the original form of poker (card game). You randomly select 5 cards and whoever has the higher valued cards win.

There was a hint of provocation in his voice.

Mo Ze didn’t even mention what would happen if he happened to lose. He appeared confident that he would not lose at all.

He had a relaxed smile on his face.

Huo Wu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his words.

So, he wanted to use me as a prize in a gamble with Huo Yusen?

Mo Ze was different from Huo Yusen. Huo Yusen was born from the legal wife of the Huo Family while Mo Ze was just an illegitimate child of the Mo Family.

Mo Ze was born after the head of the Mo Family had a one-time affair with a woman.

Huo Wu remembered clearly that Mo Ze returned to the Mo Family when he was fifteen. That meant that he had wandered around society by himself for 15 years.

His mother did not care whether he lived or died. In order to survive, he worked as a construction worker, washed dishes, and worked at the barracks. He had worked many tiring and difficult jobs. He lived in poverty for a long time, and barely had anything to eat. Mo Ze lived in fear that he would starve to death the next day because he had nothing to eat.

It was due to this upbringing that he was able to cultivate such an excellent temperament.

Mo Ze returned to the Mo Family because Mo Ze’s grandfather told Mo Cenfeng to bring him back to the Mo Family. But even after Mo Ze returned to the Mo Family, he still lived a difficult life as an illegitimate child.

He had two half-brothers that were older than him and a younger sister.

Except for Mo Ze, his other three siblings were all legitimate children born by Mo Cenfeng’s legal wife.

It was not difficult to imagine how he was treated while he was living in the Mo Family.

However, he was now 25 years old and half of the Mo Family’s company had already fallen into his hands. The other half of the company will fall into his hands soon. Just based on this, it can be deduced that Mo Ze had extraordinary skills and capabilities.

Huo Wu remembered that in the novel, Mo Ze had made his fortune in a Las Vegas casino.

She was not clear how he specifically earned the fortune because the book never described the event in much detail.

This was because the novel was not focused on Mo Ze’s life story, but rather it focused on the love story between the male and female lead.

When Mo Ze and Huo Yuqing met for the first time, Mo Ze had already earned his fortune. According to the current timeline, Mo Ze had not met Huo Yuqing yet. The two of them would meet each other in half a year.

After the two met, Mo Ze had spoiled Huo Yuqing by spending a lot of money on her. By the time they met, Mo Ze’s childhood would’ve been completely sealed away. Even those who knew of his true upbringing didn’t dare to casually gossip about his poverty-stricken past.

Much of Mo Ze’s past and his upbringing was still a mystery. Not many people knew the truth.

Huo Wu guessed that she was probably the one who knew the most about Mo Ze’s past.

She even knew that Mo Ze’s ability to cheat in gambling had reached almost perfection.

Even if he was under heavy surveillance, no one could detect the subtle movements he makes throughout the game. Even the cameras can’t detect that he was cheating.

He had made a large fortune by cheating in gambling. This was the starting fund he had earned for himself. It was also due to this event that he had caught the eye and earned the respect of the man who owned the largest casino in Las Vegas. It was not long before the two men formed a business alliance.

The man who owned the largest casino in Las Vegas could be considered as a talent scouter. It was thanks to him that Mo Ze was able to establish a foothold in the Mo Family.

Since Mo Ze proposed to play this game, then he must already have a card up his sleeve. This game was probably a child’s play to him.

So…will Huo Yusen agree to play?

Will he agree to take the gamble?

Only a few seconds had passed even though so many thoughts had raced through Huo Wu’s mind.

She subconsciously glanced at her elder brother as she waited for his response.
