Chapter 339 I owed you two in my past life
Han Xi patted her head with a smile, "You win."
Fang Li was overjoyed, but when she met the surprised looks of the others, she held back and blinked innocently, saying modestly, "I really don't know, I was probably just lucky."
“…” Jian Yunqi was dumbfounded.
Tang Chen took out a handful of chips and handed them over, which Han Xi helped Fang Li put away.
"This is outrageous! I refuse to believe it, let's start over!"
Jian Yunqi refused to believe that a novice could beat him!
Deng Xiulin poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Be careful you don't lose and won't be able to go home tonight."
"Impossible! It's just luck. Does she expect to win every hand?"
Han Xi sat behind Fang Li, a slight smile playing on his lips. He gently stroked the ends of her hair with his fingers and said in a languid tone, "That's hard to say. She's always been very lucky."
"Stop disgusting me. You, sit further away and don't secretly teach her!"
Han Xi glanced at him indifferently: "Do you need to be taught?"
Jian Yunqi felt a tickle in her teeth.
Fang Li smiled, pursing her lips.
He opened with a three-bar handicap, stunning the men.
Little did they know, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
How long does it take for a novice to go from losing to winning? Fang Li only needs two games.
Next, she truly showed Jian Yunqi what a newbie protection period is, what good luck is, and what talent is.
Fang Li remained silent, her card-drawing movements becoming much more practiced. She glanced down at her hand, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table, seemingly deep in thought.
Jian Yunqi confidently played a card: "Three of a kind".
Fang Li looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Argument."
Jian Yunqi: "..."
Deng Xiulin raised his forehead and said, "It's over."
Tang Chen chuckled and slowly took a sip of wine.
As expected, Fang Li won again, and not only this time, but she won the entire round in a row.
He cleared out all the chips from the men's hands, and then won six consecutive rounds on his own side, leaving Jian Yunqi complaining bitterly. When the beautiful woman next to him poured him a drink, he chased her away.
Finally, after Fang Li won against him once again with a clean sweep and a self-draw...
Jian Yunqi slumped in his chair, utterly dejected: "I'm not playing anymore... Did I owe you two something in my past life? It's one thing if you can't beat me, but your wife is just as amazing! If we keep going, you two will wipe out all my assets!"
Deng Xiulin also raised his glass in surrender: "Fang Li, your card skills... are truly impressive."
Fang Li looked at the mountain of chips in front of her and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, this is my first time playing. Maybe I just got lucky?"
"Don't say that, can't you see someone is about to cry?"
Fang Li glanced at Jian Yunqi across from her, her face embarrassed: "How about... I treat you guys tonight?"
Tang Chen chuckled, his gaze sweeping between her and Han Xi, and said meaningfully, "No wonder you two are like family. You're both so thrifty. Using our money to treat us, isn't that showing off?"
"What? You don't want to?"
Han Xi didn't deny it, raising an eyebrow, "If you're so capable, you can too. I'm waiting for you to use my money to buy me drinks."
Tang Chen curled his lip. Well, it was his fault for being so talkative.
After the card game ended, Fang Li squeezed Han Xi's hand a little shyly.
Han Xi looked at her, and she said in a low voice, "You guys sit down first, I'm going to the restroom."
"It's over there."
"I'm going outside."
Han Xi stood up as well, "I'll stay with you."
"Need not."
Fang Li nodded to the group and subtly pressed him back into his seat, saying, "I can manage on my own. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she got up and left her seat.
Han Xi's gaze followed her out the door, while Jian Yunqi behind her said sarcastically, "Don't look anymore, she won't get lost."
Upon hearing this, he finally withdrew his weapon.
-
Fang Li left the private room, went straight to the front desk to settle the bill for the night, and then went upstairs to the restroom.
Five minutes later, she had just come out of the restroom and was about to return to the private room when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the door of a private room. The figure pulled down the brim of a hat and then opened the door to go inside.
Fang Li frowned slightly, confirming that she hadn't misread it.
That person just now was Li Fan.
He was wearing a baseball cap and had a gloomy expression. Although he moved quickly, it was enough for her to see him clearly.
Fang Li subconsciously took two quick steps in that direction, but unfortunately, the door to the private room was already closed when she got there, and she couldn't see anything.
Just as she was wondering, the manager who had just come over happened to be there, and Fang Lilian pulled him away.
"Excuse me, who is in this private room?"
Bihuang Entertainment is a high-end entertainment club that has been operating on a membership-based model since its opening. In principle, it should not disclose guests' information to others at will.
But soon he recognized Fang Li as a guest in the same private room as Jian Yunqi. He hesitated for only a moment before truthfully saying, "This private room belongs to several of Miss Sheng's friends from the Shengshi Group."
Sheng Qianrui?
Looking at the closed door of the private room, Fang Li narrowed her eyes slightly, turned around thoughtfully and walked towards her own private room.
Meanwhile, in the private room behind her.
Several figures were sitting there.
Among them were Yilin and Zheng Fei, as well as another woman I had never met before.
Sheng Qianrui leaned back on the leather sofa, her fingertips swirling the amber liquid in the crystal glass, the lamplight casting dappled light and shadow on her moist eyelashes.
"Qianrui, stop drinking..."
The woman speaking was another friend of Sheng Qianrui, named Li Zhenzhen.
She held her hand, "It's not worth it for a man like Han Xi."
"It wasn't for him."
Sheng Qianrui tilted her head back and drank it all, her throat burning with pain, her eyes bloodshot: "I hate that Xu Fangli! Why, time and time again... What is she anyway, to even deserve to drink from me!"
"Han Xi is blind. Since he chose that woman, you don't need to lower yourself to get entangled with them. Think positively. Men are just for entertainment. Don't get too involved."
"I know... I know everything you're saying."
Sheng Qianrui gulped down a glass of wine, gripped the stem tightly, and gritted her teeth, saying, "But I'm just not willing to accept this!"
Seeing the darkness in her eyes, Li Zhenzhen sighed, took out her phone, and secretly sent a message, "Where are you?"
Less than a minute after the message was sent, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Who?"
"Cousin, it's me."
Li Zhenzhen's eyes brightened slightly as she glanced at Sheng Qianrui and said, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.
Everyone in the private room looked at him.
Zheng Fei, in particular, stared intently at the man standing at the door of the private room, her expression shifting, and her hands on her knees unconsciously tightening.
Li Fan stiffened when he met the gazes of the people above him.
His breathing faltered, his gaze quickly sweeping over the group before finally settling on the figure beside his cousin. He never imagined that the "friend" his cousin had mentioned was Sheng Qianrui!
"Xiao Fan?"
Li Zhenzhen feigned surprise, "Why are you here?"
"..." Upon meeting his cousin's suggestive look, Li Fan paused for a moment before quickly making up an excuse, "My uncle said you went out drinking with friends and was worried about your safety going home alone too late, so he specially asked me to pick you up."
"I see." Li Zhenzhen subconsciously looked at Sheng Qianrui.
Sheng Qianrui was looking at Li Fan with blurry, drunken eyes. Seeing that Li Fan didn't seem to suspect anything, she waved to Li Fan and said, "You've come at the right time. Come over here and let me introduce you."
