Chapter 280: All Poisoned by No. 6!
After returning to his friends and family from the VIP window with the bet slip, Pepe's good mood was completely restored!
Sure enough, the healing effect of money is unmatched!
Pepe's mood at the moment is no longer described by the word "cool"! It should be said that it is "violent"!
"After leaving the racecourse, no one should rob me of dinner, and I will pay for all the expenses tonight!" Pepe flicked the bet slip in his hand and said to everyone with a rich face.
"Pell, it looks like you're the biggest winner today!" Austin's father, Oliver, glanced vaguely at the betting slip in his daughter-in-law's hand, and then smiled meaningfully.
Pepe rubbed his chin and replied triumphantly: "It's okay, hehehe, thanks to the excellent performance of the Triple Crown, I earned a total of eight figures today!" ”
"Eight figures?" Qin Wanyu looked at her daughter in surprise, and then lowered her head and counted her fingers like this-one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand God! - "You've made 10 million in one day today?" Qin Wanyu blurted out a question.
"Didn't you put at least $10 million in principal into it?" After thinking about it, Qin Wanyu was not happy for her daughter, but her face became not very good-looking.
She gave her daughter a wink and motioned for her to come to the corner.
Pepe deliberately pretended not to see the eyes of his mother, turned his head and waved his hand at everyone to continue the topic just now-
"Let's discuss, what should we eat at night? We can drive off Highway 2 and go straight to West Hollywood in Beverly Hills. There are plenty of three-Michelin-starred restaurants to choose from! Do you want to eat Gordon-Ramsay at the West Hollywood London Hotel? Or go to The-Bazaar-by-José-Andrés at the SLS Hotel for Spanish food? Or you can also choose the Bel Air Hotel Wolfgang. Parker? After everyone has thought about it, you can raise your hand to vote! (See Note 1)
"I could choose to be Wolfgang tonight. Parker, The-Bazaar-by-José-Andrés tomorrow night, Gordon-Ramsay the night after tomorrow? Lillian raised her hand and coaxed.
"Honey, stop messing around!" William slapped Lilian's raised hands down, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The London Hotel is a little bit away by car, or we are still in The-Bazaar-by-José-Andrés or Bel Elfgang. Parker, choose between the two! ”
"The-Bazaar-by-José-Andrés is more suitable for you young people, you young people will take care of the tastes of our older generation tonight! I mention yì to go to Wolfgang. Parker! Ms. Vera and her husband looked at each other and interjected with a smile.
"I accept!" Mark Quinn shrugged his shoulders and said.
"We're okay!" After Mr. and Mrs. Casaro exchanged a few words in a whisper, Mr. Jabri's wife, Ms. Claudia, followed suit.
"Then we'll drive our own cars, and everyone will meet at the Bel Air Hotel." Li Chenghua grabbed before his daughter spoke. The clapper made a decision.
Wolfgang. Parker is a world-famous star chef. He has 20 top namesake, more than a dozen namesakes and 80 restaurants around the world called "Wolfgang. Parker Fast Food". He and his eponymous restaurant are highly well-known and influential all over the world.
Because of the advantage of geographical location. That's why a lot of Hollywood's biggest stars and celebrities are very fond of visiting Wolfgang at the Belel Hotel West Hollywood. Parker's restaurant of the same name.
It stands to reason that this restaurant only accepts advance reservations and does not accept individual customers without reservations. But who made several of these people members of the Centurion Black Gold Card?
Because it was Pepe who offered to pay for the invitation, it was up to her to take care of the table in the restaurant.
Pepe pulled out his phone. A phone call was made to Miss Monica, the life assistant of the Centurion Black Gold Card.
After explaining the task in a few words. Pepe hung up. Then he looked up and gave everyone an OK gesture to indicate that it was done.
At this time, Qin Wanyu began to give her daughter a look again.
Pepe can't continue to play stupid. I had no choice but to walk up to my mother's side and ask with a shy smile, "Mommy, is there anything wrong with you calling me over?" ”
Qin Wanyu glanced at her daughter silently, and asked softly: "You tell me honestly, how much money did you invest in the Triple Crown competition?" ”
"I said Mommy, why are you asking so carefully?" Pepe looked at him left and right.
"You kid, I won't talk about you if you've been spending money since you were a child! But I warn you! Don't indulge! Do you hear that? When Qin Wanyu said these words, her volume was extremely low.
"Mommy~~~~~ don't be so alarmist, okay! I'm measured! Pepe quibbled as she glanced at her grandmother and motioned for her to come to the rescue.
After the old lady received the look of her precious granddaughter, she quietly gave her granddaughter an OK gesture, and then pushed the little grandson next to her and said, "Go and call your mommy!" ”
Li Peihao was standing in a position where he could clearly see the eyebrows between his grandmother and his sister, so he didn't want to go over for no reason to relieve his sister. So, the young man gave his grandmother a gesture of money, which meant "instructing people to do things, and you must always give some benefits." ”
When the old lady was about to take out her wallet and stuff her grandson with benefits, Old Man Li "cough cough" next to her.
"Don't let Xiao Hao mess around!" Old Man Li patted his little grandson on the shoulder and motioned for him to play by himself. Then he lowered his voice and said to his old lady: "If you want me to say, this girl is too bold!" You can win tens of millions. It means that the principal she bet on is at least tens of millions! It's just not money for money! It's a good thing that I didn't lose, but what if I lose? ”
"Didn't you lose that?" the old lady muttered.
"Money came too easily, do you think it's a good thing?" The old man glared and said, "It's okay to use it once or twice as a pastime!" What if you get addicted? Have you heard less stories about bankrupt people because of gambling/gambling? ”
The old lady also knew that the old man had a point, so she pursed her lips and stopped arguing.
Pepe, on the other side, after receiving the old lady's "love can't help" look, her eyes glanced around, hoping to find someone to come over and help her out of the siege.
It's a pity that everyone at this time has already turned their attention back to the scene of the game, Pepe had to listen honestly to the mother's chicken soup for the soul, and then swore for a while before finally blocking the mother's nagging.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Pepe sat back down beside her husband. He looked up at his watch.
At this time, it was just close to about three o'clock in the afternoon. It's still a long time before dinner.
She knows that many of these people are betting on the "Triple Crown" as well as other sports. Especially in the main race, the senior race, everyone has their favourites and the amount of money bet is different.
Today's last graded event is played at half past five in the afternoon. There will also be an hour of equestrian show time after the competition.
Just now, when the mother was nagging non-stop. Miss Monica had already sent Pepe's phone a message, "The restaurant has been decided." Reservation time at 19 o'clock".
Drive from Santa Monica Racecourse to West Hollywood on Highway 2 and take up to half an hour without traffic jams.
Pepe discussed it with Austin. Considering that it is usually around dinner, the streets of West Hollywood are often congested with traffic. So I decided not to watch the equestrian show, and as soon as the official schedule was over, I gathered everyone to leave the racecourse and drive to the Bel El Hotel to meet.
At this time, another graded event for adult horses had just ended. Everyone around them was sighing at each other at this time, and at first glance, they didn't bet on the champion horse's expression, and they all began to tear up the void betting slips in their hands.
"Thankfully, I didn't bet much on this event! If you knew this, you might as well invest all your money in this event in the Triple Crown! What a loss for nothing! William said as he tossed the confetti in his hand into the wind. (See Note 2)
"How much did you lose this time?" Mark had just finished tearing up the voided bet slip at this time, scattering the confetti in his hand, and then turned his head to look at William and inquired curiously.
William raised a finger to Mark in frustration.
"Ten thousand?"
"Add one more zero!" William added.
Mark got up and walked to William's seat, motioned to his niece Lilian to change positions, and then sat down on the seat that Lillian had vacated, and patted the young man on the shoulder with affection and said, "Then you have a lot less loss than me!" ”
"What horse are you betting on? How much was lost in total? William asked, turning to Mark.
"The number of the Triple Crown winner is number 6, so I think number 6 will be my lucky number today! Alas~~~" After Mark sighed, he raised two fingers at William, and then added: "It's five zeros in total!" ”
William's expression was very strange at this time, and he stretched out his palm to signal to Mark, "Man, shake hands!" I also bet on horse number 6 in the race just now! ”
The two frustrated men shook hands with each other and comforted each other.
Pepe watched the movements of these two people and couldn't help but laugh with a "flutter".
When the two of them heard the laughter, they turned their heads in unison.
Mark was the first to ask, "What number of horses did you two buy just now?" ”
"I didn't buy it!" Pepe shook his head and said, "Except for the tournament in which the Treble won the tournament, I didn't buy any other events!" ”
At the same time, Austin's expression at this moment gave people a look of hesitation: "Do you have to answer?" ”
"Don't tell me that you bought the No. 6 horse in that race?" Mark suddenly felt a sigh of relief.
I saw Austin rub his nose in embarrassment, and then spread his hands and smiled: "Bingo!" Looks like we've all been poisoned by No. 6! ”
So, the three frustrated people who were all poisoned by No. 6 hooked their shoulders and exchanged (to be continued......
