Chapter 155 - 155 Promise
155 Promise
Fu Sui didn’t really believe what Le Wan said.
Zhai Jing was just a high school student. He had no connections and no money. How could he sell the game in such a short time and at such a good price?
If what Le Wan said was true, that she didn’t pay for the surgery and that Zhai Jing had raised all the money himself, the kidney replacement surgery would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if he was the one who bought the game, he wouldn’t be so generous as to pay such a high price so easily.
He was more inclined to believe that Le Wan was spouting nonsense to save Zhai Jing’s face. However, he didn’t have any evidence and he couldn’t say that Zhai Jing’s game was not worth the price. After all, he had said that he hadn’t seen the game designed by Zhai Jing with his own eyes. He couldn’t slap his own face. Hence, he simply held his breath and kept his mouth shut.
When Le Wan heard him flaunting his prowess and distorting the truth, she was naturally unwilling to let him off so easily.
“So you didn’t know that he sold his game? I thought you were taking this opportunity to get your hands on the game since you agreed to the bet so readily.”
Fu Sui, whose thoughts had been exposed, panicked for a moment. How did she know his intentions? However, he then consoled himself that this was only Le Wan’s guess and she didn’t have any evidence. If he didn’t admit it, what could others do to him?
“How could this be? Wasn’t the bet a joke? I didn’t even take it to heart.” He lowered his gaze. “It’s just a game. There are plenty of gaming companies out there. There’s no need to be so fixated on this game.”
Speaking of this, he didn’t forget to promote himself.
“And the project we prepared is almost completed. We’ll just wait for the college entrance examination holiday and then release it to the public.”
Le Wan ignored the advertisement at the end and grabbed the first part of his sentence.
“No way! We made a bet in front of so many people, how can you treat it as a joke?” Le Wan looked at him suspiciously. “You didn’t say that it won’t count because you predicted that you might lose, did you?”
Before Fu sui could refute this, Le Wan took advantage of the victory and continued,
“Of course, I know Brother Fu isn’t such a petty person. You’ll definitely keep your word, right?”
Fu Sui naturally didn’t dare to deny it in front of everyone, so he could only agree.
“It’s only fun if you keep your word,” said Fu Sui while clapping his hands.
Because she didn’t know what happened to her son in school, Fu Sui’s mother, who had been anxious but couldn’t interrupt, finally found an opportunity to talk when she saw Le Wan and Fu Sui bickering with each other.
She asked,
“What’s the prize you won from the bet?”
Le Wan raised her index finger.
“A promise.”
Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Sui, who nodded in agreement. She frowned. Was a promise that broad? What if Le Wan made an outrageous request?
From the confrontation between the two of them, Mrs. Fu could clearly feel that Le Wan was a little resentful toward her son. Moreover, from her son’s expression, she could guess that her son had lost the bet between the two of them. He had always been proud of his academic results, but he had actually lost to Le Wan, who was at the bottom of the class.
Mrs. Fu couldn’t figure it out, but it wasn’t the time to be calculative about it. She was more afraid that Le Wan would use this bet to make some excessive demands to take revenge on Fu sui.
“A promise is too broad. I think we should discuss and set up the bet before the result is announced.” Mrs. Fu placed her hand on Le Wan’s body affectionately. “Since everyone’s here, we can study it together.”
Mrs. Fu thought that Le Wan probably wouldn’t ask for too much in front of so many people.
Of course, she was afraid that others would think that she was protecting her son, so she added,
“Ah, Fu Sui is usually too narcissistic. Now that there’s a rare opportunity to make things difficult for him, let me have some fun too. So just say the word. With me here to support you, I’m not afraid that he won’t agree.”
From the first time Le Wan saw Fu Sui’s mother today, she could clearly feel the distance between her and him. He understood that compared to an outsider like her, Fu Sui’s mother would definitely stand on her son’s side.
Seeing her come upstairs so affectionately again, Le Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. So, when she heard her say this, she pretended to hesitate and said,
“This isn’t good, is it? What if I make some outrageous request and embarrass Brother Fu? What should I do?”
