Chapter 38

  At this time, everyone started shuffling the cards. After everyone had arranged their cards, Wen Rentao suddenly said: "This time we won't play with IOUs, let's play with money instead. Last time I was stuck with a big loss by Xueying and my face was completely lost. This time I must win it back."

  Hearing this, Kyoto asked, "What's going on? How could he not know?" He turned to Zhao Mei Mei beside him and said, "Mei Mei, what's happening?"

  Zhao Meimei looked at Wen Ren Kyoto with a puzzled expression and said: "It was the first time we met Sakura Yuki in the hospital, we were bored so we played Mahjong. But we didn't play for money, instead whoever lost would stick a piece of paper on their face, and whoever won would remove one. As a result, Dad, Mom, and I all had our faces full of stickers, but Sakura Yuki didn't have any. Otherwise, how could I let you win at cards today? Hehe, now it's just the two of us, let's see how you can win."

  Situ Yuxue said to Zhao Meimei who was provoking her: "Meimei, don't talk big, don't forget that we are also two people."

  Hearing that it's going to be a big deal, I've been itching for action. Seeing everyone talking, I quickly said: "Alright, alright, let's stop talking and see who's the real champion at the card table!"

  Then everyone started playing cards.

  After playing for a while, Situ Xue suddenly couldn't see one of the cards and started asking Wen Renxiang behind her for help: "Wen Renxiang, how should I play this?"

  Wen Ren Zhao Xian pointed with his finger at one of the cards, indicating that it should be played.

  "Wen Ren Xiang is too clever." said Si Tu Ying Xue with a smile while playing cards.

  Zhao Mei Mei was about to play a card when Wen Ren Kyoto stopped her, "No, can't play this one, should play that one."

  Zhao Mei Mei refused to listen and insisted on hitting her own chosen target. After she hit it, she heard Si Tu Xue Xue say: "You missed."

  "Alas, why is it me again?"

  "It serves you right, let him hit this one, but you wouldn't listen." Wen Ren heard from Kyoto said.

  Originally unhappy about losing points, and now being told by Wen Ren Kyoto, Zhao Mei Mei angrily said: "I'd love to play, what's it to you."

  Xīng Yǔ saw that Wén Rén was about to get angry, so he quickly said: "Alright, Měi Měi, hurry up and shuffle the cards. I'm still waiting for you to win against me."

  Zhao Mei Mei was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly shuffled the cards.

  "Wait a minute, this card is wrong." Wen Ren Xiang stopped Si Tu Ying Xue who was about to play the card.

  Situ Yuxue had no choice but to put it back and wait for further instructions. Wen Renzhao pointed to a piece of paper next to him and said, "Hit this one."

  Situ Yuxue obediently went out.

  This round is over, no one has won, after everyone pushed the cards, Situ Xue Xue only discovered that she was just playing the card that Wen Ren Tao wanted.

  Although I didn't win, but Si Tu Xue Xue was also very happy and said to Wen Ren Zhao Xian: "Wen Ren Zhao Xian, you're so great! How did you know Uncle Wen wanted to play this card? If it wasn't for you, I would have lost big time."

  After Situ Xue said that, everyone went to see her card. When they saw her card was nothing, but the card in her hand was what everyone wanted.

  She didn't know how many rounds she had played, but the money in front of Suo Xue was like a small mountain and couldn't be put away. Then she simply handed all the money over to Wen Ren Zhaoxian, now Wen Ren Zhaoxian had something to do, not only did he have to help her watch the cards, but also help her manage the money.

  As they chatted, Xīu Xuě unknowingly leaned against Wén Rén Zhāo Xián's shoulder. Since she was sitting sideways, Wén Rén Zhāo Xián knew she was tired and to make her more comfortable, he let her lean into his embrace.

  All of this was seen by Wen Rentao, who was sitting across from them. Although he was playing cards, his mind was very clear. Wen Jingyu and Zhao Meimei were a couple, but they didn't get along well and often quarreled over whose turn it was to play a card. On the other hand, Wen Zhaoren and Situ Xue were not a couple, but they worked together seamlessly, with Situ Xue being very obedient and occasionally praising him.

  From tonight's events onwards, Wen Ren Tao became even more resolute in his conviction that choosing Sakuya as the young mistress was correct, because she truly had the demeanor of an elder.

  Today, Wen Ren Zhao Xian also asked Wen Ren Tai why he wanted to pair up Si Tu Xue with him instead of introducing her to his third brother, as their ages were just right.

  Wen Ren Ta said there were two reasons. Firstly, the Wen family's current status was all thanks to the help of the Situ family. Although Third Brother was also a member of the Wen family, he had taken over his maternal grandfather's business and was considered to have left the Wen family. However, he had taken over the Wen family's business and was now the master of the Wen family. The daughter of the Situ family could only marry the master of the Wen family. Secondly, Situ Yingxue's personality was suitable for being a young mistress.

  At this time, Wen Ren Tao was a bit angry because he didn't get the card he wanted, and Si Tu Xue Xue noticed it, so she started to bluff and even deliberately picked cards that would make Wen Ren Tao's hand worse.

  At first, Wen Ren Xian wanted to stop her, but after taking a closer look, he found that Situ Xue was doing it on purpose, in order to make Wen Ren happy.

  Zhao Mei Mei and Wen Ren Kyoto were a big letdown, and they even occasionally heard Wen Ren Tao's card. Si Tu Ying Xue had no choice but to keep losing.

  Until he had spent all his money, then looked at Wen Ren Zhao Xian with a pitiful expression and said: "Wen Ren Zhao Xian, I don't have any Hong Kong dollars, only RMB. Can you lend me some?"

  Looking at the pitiful Xue, Wen Renxian said in a doting tone: "You forgot, we made a bet, what was it again? I'll cover all your wins and losses for tonight." After saying that, he took out his wallet and handed it to Xue.

  Xīng Xǔ Huā Xuě took the wallet and immediately excitedly hugged Wén Rén Zhāo Xián, happily saying: "Wén Rén Zhāo Xián you're too good!" After that, she turned around and continued playing cards.

  This hug stunned everyone else, staring blankly at the two of them. Wen Renxiang was caught off guard by this sudden action and his face turned red. As for Situ Xue, it was as if nothing had happened.

  She turned around and saw everyone staring at her like a monster, puzzled and said: "What are you all looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"

  Everyone quickly said: "No, no, play cards." While shuffling the cards, they secretly smiled at each other.

  After a while, Si Tu Xue said: "Okay, okay, let's stop playing."

  Wei Ren heard that Taizheng was very happy and asked in a hurry: "What's going on?"

  Xīng Tuó Yīng Xuě took out Wén Rén Zhāo Xián's wallet and said: "You see, I've lost all of our family's Wén Rén Zhāo Xián's money, just short of pawning his gold card."

  As soon as she spoke, everyone present was shocked, except for herself.
