When Lan Xi was ntioned, everyone instinctively looked around, but sure enough, she was nowhere to be seen.
"Wasn’t she just here?" Ning Ze asked in confusion.
"Who said that? I clearly saw her next to Brother Lu Hao," Dong Le chid in.
Jian Shaohan chuckled, "Since she’s with Brother Lu Hao, there’s no need to worry."
The others agreed, knowing full well about Lan Xi’s feelings for Lu Hao.
On such an important day, she would certainly have sothing to express to him.
Zheng Lu Hua thought this made sense too and sat next to Jian Shaohan to watch him play cards.
Jian Shaohan was having a particularly unlucky day, losing constantly, his face looking quite unpleasant.
Zheng Lu Hua watched him play a few rounds and noticed he was overly eager to win, playing without thought.
She offered a few tips, and sure enough, Jian Shaohan followed her advice, stopped losing, and even won a few rounds.
Dong Le teased, "Shaohan, you’re lucky to have Huahua’s guidance. Otherwise, you’d be losing badly today."
Jian Shaohan looked a bit smug and kissed Zheng Lu Hua on the cheek in front of everyone.
This made Zheng Lu Hua a little embarrassed, and she snuggled into his arms.
Mu Yan noticed that Zheng Lu Hua, usually a calm and reserved girl, seed like a different person around Jian Shaohan.
"Why don’t you teach too?" Jiang Jingheng’s voice suddenly ca from beside her.
eting his amused eyes, Mu Yan quietly said, "I don’t know how to play."
Ning Ze imdiately chid in, "Sister-in-law, co on, Brother Jiang has won so much. You need to help him lose a bit."
"Yeah, yeah, sister-in-law, co on. Let us win so back. Otherwise, my allowance for this month is gone," Dong Le looked at her pitifully.
Mu Yan, "..."
She felt like she was being set up as the fool.
So should she agree or not?
Faced with Ning Ze and Dong Le’s pressure, she looked at Jiang Jingheng and quietly asked, "What if I lose?"
He ruffled her hair gently and said softly, "Our family has plenty of money, just lose as you please."
"Okay." Mu Yan gave him a sweet smile.
The crowd watched the two of them spreading love everywhere, utterly speechless.
But with sister-in-law around, Brother Jiang was always agreeable.
Ning Ze seized on this and said to Jiang Jingheng, "Brother Jiang, you can’t coach sister-in-law."
"I’m fine with whatever," Jiang Jingheng said casually, getting up to switch seats with Mu Yan.
Dong Le and Ning Ze exchanged a glance and shared a sinister smile.
If they couldn’t beat Brother Jiang, could they at least outplay sister-in-law, the novice?
However, once the ga started, they found that things did not turn out as expected.
Mu Yan may be playing for the first ti and lack skill, but her luck was unbeatable.
Seeing her flip over four A’s, they were utterly exasperated. How could soone get such a hand?
Mu Yan collected the chips from the table, smiled at Jiang Jingheng, and said, "I won!"
Jiang Jingheng, seeing her pleased expression, couldn’t help but pinch her cheek and praised, "You’re amazing!"
"Keep going, keep going!" Ning Ze shouted.
He didn’t believe that sister-in-law could stay so lucky.
In the second round, Mu Yan outright flipped a straight flush, winning big.
Ning Ze and the others, refusing to believe this turn of events, kept playing, third round, fourth round...
Until all of Ning Ze’s chips were gone, and he finally realized.
Oh my, it seed he lost even more badly than when Brother Jiang was playing. Sister-in-law’s winning left no room for hope.
Mu Yan didn’t expect to be so lucky, beaming with joy from her wins.
The others were all looking dejected. Zheng Lu Hua, seeing Jian Shaohan unhappy, whispered, "I told you to listen to earlier."
Upon hearing this, Jian Shaohan’s face darkened instantly, throwing his cards on the table harshly, and shouted at Zheng Lu Hua, "Fine, since you’re so good, you play!"
