Chapter 16: Winning at Every Bet

Chapter 16: Winning at Every Bet

May 19, 2024

Gu Mo Xi was stunned as he lowered his head to look at his sister-in-law's cards, then glanced at her. Shocked, he couldn't help but ask, "Sis, how much did you win?"

Zhan Yan glanced down at her cards, played them, and casually replied, "Not much, just a few million."

"Damn." Gu Mo Xi couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with disbelief. He glanced at Su Chengrui, whose expression was growing increasingly gloomy. Finally convinced, Gu Mo Xi's handsome face lit up with excitement. If it weren't for his brother holding his sister-in-law, he would have almost jumped up to hug Zhan Yan. But seeing his brother's stern expression, he didn't dare to push his luck any further, just swallowing hard and saying, "Sis, you... are too amazing! I've only sung for a while, and you've won millions?" Just earlier, he owed Su Cheng tens of thousands from singing. His sister-in-law was truly remarkable. He hadn't expected her to win. Where did she learn to play like this?

Gu Mo Xi stared at her face, his eyes dark and unreadable. Just because they didn't notice didn't mean he didn't. As the saying goes, outsiders see things more clearly than those involved. As an observer, he saw everything clearly. His wife had taken over each round, always managing to outplay them at minimal cost. This meant she knew exactly what cards they held and what they would play next. Such a keen understanding of the game, such meticulous planning—Gu Mo Xi couldn't help but admire her, though his expression remained calm, his mind was in turmoil. However, he had misjudged. Zhan Yan's card skills were indeed exceptional, but it wasn't because of cunning strategizing; rather, she simply had a natural sensitivity to numbers, allowing her to memorize the cards.

Su Chengrui's inner shock was complex. Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to this woman. After all, she was just a woman to him, merely a tool for pleasure. Even if she won a round, he didn't care. But as the game progressed, he grew increasingly alarmed. This woman seemed to know exactly what cards he had and how to counter them. At first, he chalked it up to luck, but as she consistently outplayed him, he began to wonder: how did she know what cards he held and what he would play next? And every time, she guessed right, leaving him astonished.

Gu Mo Xi's face grew darker, almost indescribably gloomy. He pursed his lips around the cigarette butt, then spat it into the trash can. Gu Mo noticed his displeasure and quickly poured a glass of water for him. "Drink up. Don't talk nonsense." After all, Su Chengrui had watched him grow up, and he had to show some respect.

Zhan Yan knew he was speaking to her indirectly. Unfazed, she stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

After she left, Gu Mo Xi sat on the sofa, his hand resting casually on the armrest. He had taken off his gray suit, leaving only a white shirt with two buttons undone, exposing his muscular chest. The dim light illuminated his deep features, making his already stunning face even more radiant. He seemed to take your breath away, and his eyes shimmered with barely perceptible ripples, fleeting yet profound. Then he spoke softly, "Chengrui, she's my woman." His elegant voice carried a clear warning. No one was allowed to discuss her, not even a bit.

"Bro, what does Chengrui ge mean?" Mo Cheng stared at his back until he disappeared at the door.

Gu Mo Xi elegantly took a sip of tea from his cup, his gaze thoughtful, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

Zhan Yan emerged from the bathroom, and Su Chengrui leaned against the wall, puffing on a half-smoked cigarette. Seeing her come out, he extinguished the cigarette butt with one hand, squinted his eyes, and shot a sharp, cold glare at her. A smirk formed on his lips. "So, you're Zhan Yan! I'm really curious about what kind of magic you've used on Gu Shao to make him so infatuated with you. Oh... and also the circle around Mo Cheng. I have to say, you're the most cunning woman I've ever met." His expression turned cold, and cold light flashed in his eyes. "Being smart is a good thing, but I don't like women who are too smart for their own good."

Zhan Yan met his warning gaze calmly. "Oh? So, what does Su Shao want from me?"

"Leave Gu Shao. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences." He gripped her hand forcefully, pressing her against the wall. The two of them were close, their breaths audible to each other. Su Chengrui stated his intentions directly.

With disdain in her eyes, Zhan Yan met his gaze steadily, her expression unchanged. After listening to his words, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, she suddenly burst into laughter. At this moment, the scar on her face accentuated her icy demeanor. Although she smiled, the smile didn't reach her eyes. With a sudden change in demeanor, she appeared aloof and cold. "Do you dare to threaten me?"

Su Chengrui was shocked by her sudden change in demeanor. His face remained disdainful, thinking she was just a woman. However, the contempt in his eyes grew deeper. "Leave Gu Shao, and I'll give you one million. Otherwise, I'll immediately expose your affair with Lu Chenxi to Gu Shao. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I usually don't lay a hand on obedient women, but as for those who are too smart for their own good, I can't guarantee anything." Su Chengrui's face grew more sinister, and the force in his hand unconsciously increased as he stared at her with gloomy eyes.

Dangerous cold light flashed in Zhan Yan's eyes. She lifted her foot and kicked him hard on the knee. With a loud crack in the quiet bathroom, Su Chengrui, caught off guard, tried to dodge, but Zhan Yan's skills were exceptional. Caught off guard, he took the hit directly, groaning in pain as cold sweat formed on his forehead. He immediately released her wrist, his eyes growing even colder as he pressed his hand against the wall, his expression fierce and disbelieving. "Woman, you're asking for death!"

Seeing her about to leave, Su Chengrui immediately grabbed her hand again, his gaze fierce. This time, he exerted all his strength, almost wanting to dislocate her shoulder. If it were any other woman, her arm might have been dislocated by now, but Zhan Yan remained expressionless. She grabbed his arm with one hand and performed a shoulder throw, slamming Su Chengrui onto the ground. The man, who had been impeccably dressed just moments ago, now looked disheveled. Zhan Yan watched as his face turned pale and blue, veins bulging on his neck. She remained calm and composed as she said, "Su Shao, you have no right to order me. My relationship with Mo Xi and my affairs with Lu Chenxi are none of your concern. I advise you not to interfere, or else you'll regret it. I won't hesitate to act, and you won't be able to bear the consequences." She delivered her threat calmly and lightly, but it sent shivers down his spine. After speaking, she turned and left.

As Su Chengrui pushed open the door again, his limping steps drew the attention of everyone in the room. Mo Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Chengrui ge, what's wrong with you?" He looked at Su Chengrui's stiff face, trying hard to suppress his laughter, his face turning red.

Even Mosquito and Monkey couldn't help but join in, pressing for answers. "Su Shao, what's going on? Did you get beaten up while flirting? But what kind of woman dares to hit our Su Shao? You know, our Su Shao has always been invincible among women!" They spoke with flushed faces, excited at the thought of Su Shao taking a rare beating. Just the idea of a woman daring to disregard Su Shao filled them with the urge to worship her. It was just so satisfying!

Su Chengrui had been caught by Zhan Yan for the second time, and his black face, squinting with danger, made it clear he was not happy. He couldn't understand how this woman could remain so calm after attacking him. Usually, people who had done something wrong would be nervous to the point of trembling, but she remained composed even after hitting him. The disdain in her eyes was something he couldn't bear to see. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to vomit blood. This woman... she was even more arrogant than him!

Gu Mo Xi stood up, with Zhan Yan by his side, and stared at him. Just now, he had seen a flash of anger in Chengrui's eyes when he looked at Yan Yan. Although it was fleeting, he caught it. Tonight, Chengrui had repeatedly targeted Yan Yan for no reason. He had seen it clearly. Logically speaking, Yan Yan had just met Chengrui, so there shouldn't be any conflict between them. There was a glint of light in his eyes.

Su Chengrui sat down, took a sip of wine, and sneered, "Indeed, she's just a woman, but she's nothing more than an overly cunning woman. Can a woman change the world? If she falls into my hands one day, she'll have a taste of her own medicine." He glanced coldly at Zhan Yan, almost grinding his teeth as he said the last sentence.

Zhan Yan seemed to ignore his insinuations, her eyes growing colder. She picked up the cup of tea on the table and was about to drink it when a large hand suddenly grasped the hand holding the cup. The rough hand, with calluses, enveloped her hand tightly, its warmth almost burning her heart. If he hadn't been holding her hand, she would almost have dropped the cup from the heat. Gu Mo Xi finished the wine in Su Chengrui's cup in one gulp, then poured himself a cup of tea from his own cup and handed it to her. His voice was low and soft. "Drink this." He took the cup from her hand, leaving it on the table.

Zhan Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at the cup of tea in her hand, then at her own cup. She took a few sips of resignation and placed it on the table.

All these actions of theirs were seen by everyone present. Mo Cheng's eyes widened.
