Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang had no idea that those supposedly free five hundred US dollars' worth of chips were something they alone "enjoyed." Even guests staying in the same type of room would not receive any free chips.
That was because Wang Ye had specifically instructed the hotel to give them to the two of them.
His purpose, of course, was not to let Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang experience gambling. Just like last time, he intended to use the slot machines to give Liu Xiaoxiao an "unexpected windfall"!
The amount did not need to be too high. It would be enough if Liu Xiaoxiao could take home a little over two hundred thousand US dollars after taxes.
That would be enough for them to buy a large, well-located apartment in the capital back home...
As for why he did not simply give Liu Xiaoxiao a sum of money directly and instead went through all this trouble to have her win it on the slot machines, Wang Ye naturally had his own considerations.
He and Liu Xiaoxiao were only cousins, after all, not biological siblings. If he suddenly gave Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang that much money, what would they think?
Although the money was insignificant to Wang Ye, it was an astronomical sum to Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang!
Liu Xiaoxiao might only marvel at how wealthy Wang Ye had become, and how she, as his cousin, had benefited from it.
But what about Zhang Guang...
As a man, he was unable to give his wife a comfortable life. He could not even afford a home and had to rely on his wife's cousin to practically "hand him" an apartment. How could he ever hold his head up in that family afterward?
It would hurt his pride too
