Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: Up to His Old Tricks Again
Jin Chenye’s gaze remained calm, as if he had predicted that Yu Xiuzhun would definitely say this, his face unruffled.
“Senior…”
Upon hearing Jin Chenye agree, Ye Mingi sat up straight with nervousness.
Her hand unconsciously gripped the hem of his shirt.
Originally, she didn’t want Jin Chenye to gamble with Yu Xiuzhun, and now there was added stakes.
Yu Xiuzhun was a scher, never playing by the rules, who knows what kind of devious plan he has in mind now.
“It’s fine, we’re just playing around, Mr. Yu wouldn’t gamble for lives.” Jin Chenye’s gentle eyes flickered slightly, a dark light rising.
He reached out to pat the back of Ye Mingi’s hand, signaling her to calm down.
Those words were also ant for Yu Xiuzhun to hear.
“That’s not certain.” Yu Xiuzhun sneered, “Everyone knows I’m cold-blooded and ruthless, it’s not surprising if I really gambled for lives.”
“We’re not playing anymore!” Ye Mingi’s face turned pale, as she stood up abruptly, reaching out to pull Jin Chenye.
“Senior, I’m not feeling well, would you accompany to greet Mr. Dan and then take ho? Please?”
Ye Mingi, with her pale little face, claiming to be unwell actually sounded sowhat believable.
But Jin Chenye knew that she was frightened by Yu Xiuzhun’s words.
“Oh, the ga hasn’t even started and soone wants to back out.” Yu Xiuzhun leaned leisurely against the back of his chair, his voice neither loud nor soft, just enough for those in the card area to hear.
Imdiately, everyone’s gaze was focused on that spot.
The ga started by Yu Xiuzhun already had many people watching, and now most of the tables had stopped, crowding around.
“If Mr. Yu needs more players, just say the word, we’ve all been waiting. If soone lacks the courage, there’s no need to force them.” Soone nearby started to mock.
“Exactly, I was wondering who it was, turns out it’s the new head of the Ye Group. It’s said Mr. Jin manages the group well, but who knows if he can handle himself at the card table too. If he can’t play and is too scared, it’s no surprise, right, everyone? Haha…”
Those wanting to curry favor with Yu Xiuzhun took this opportunity to fan the flas.
Everyone knew that the Yu family’s style was always decisive and ruthless; offending soone like Jin Chenye, the gentle gentleman, was better than offending one of the Three Big rchant Families, the Yu family.
Especially since the current head of the Yu family was Yu Xiuzhun.
Anyone with sense would know how to choose.
“Mingi, are you really not feeling well?” Jin Chenye glanced at those fanning the flas, his face showing no major emotional changes, but instead, looking worriedly at Ye Mingi beside him.
His inquiry carried a hint of probing.
If Ye Mingi was really unwell, he’d lose face, and Jin Chenye would take her away.
But if she wasn’t, then he couldn’t withdraw from the gambling ga now.
“I…”
Ye Mingi opened her mouth, glanced around at the people, knowing what Jin Chenye ant.
After hesitating for a mont, she lightly shook her head.
“I’m fine, I can endure a bit longer, if you want to play, Senior, I can accompany you.”
“Are you sure you’re fine?” Hearing her say this, Jin Chenye instead reached out and touched her forehead, concerned that she might really be unwell upon seeing her pale little face.
“Yes.” Ye Mingi pulled down his hand, biting her lip, just nodding more firmly.
“Since there’s no problem, can we start?”
Yu Xiuzhun’s hawk-like eyes remained fixed on Ye Mingi.
