Jesdaporn was infuriated by Nan Yan’s audacious and arrogant words.
He even let go of the cigar in his mouth and glared angrily at Nan Yan.
Meanwhile, the Chinese gamblers in the casino cheered, relieved to see Jesdaporn’s arrogance being suppressed by Nan Yan. It was a satisfying sight.
“Go, little sister!”
“You’re amazing, young lady!”
“Keep going, piss him off!”
“Young lady, don’t be afraid of him, teach him a lesson!”
A group of people stood behind Nan Yan, cheering her on.
Even the owner of the casino stood on the upper floor, observing the situation from above.
On the other hand, Shen Junqing pulled out a chair, casually leaning back on it, crossing his long legs. His peach blossom eyes were filled with layers of playful smiles as he placed his hand on Nan Yan’s shoulder. “Sis, go ahead and play. If you lose, it’ll be on me.”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow. “Alright, if I win, I’ll split the winnings with you.”
Jesdaporn understood Mandarin and was almost infuriated to the point of vomiting blood. His previously calm expression vanished, replaced by a dark and angry glare at Nan Yan.
If looks could kill, Nan Yan would have been dead a long time ago. He clenched his teeth and asked, “What game do you want to play?”
This damn woman, he wanted to make her leave with just one game!
Nan Yan lazily raised her eyebrow. “It’s up to you, choose whatever you want, and I’ll accompany you.”
Her words were sharp and piercing, igniting the atmosphere.
Jesdaporn’s expression grew darker as he chose his favorite game, poker.
After the dealer dealt the cards, he looked at the cards in his hand, and his gloomy expression finally showed a hint of improvement.
With a smug look, he pushed 50 million chips forward.
On the other hand, Nan Yan had only 50 million chips in front of her.
Any more, and she wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Nan Yan remained composed, casually pushing her 50 million chips into the middle of the table.
In a cold voice, she said, “Call.”
The dealer dealt the cards once again.
Jesdaporn pushed another 30 million forward, a proud expression on his face. “Do you still have chips?”
Nan Yan was about to ask the manager to exchange for another 100 million in chips.
She had her money in the bank and could access it anytime.
Shen Junqing reached out and placed a black card on the table. “Sis, follow him.’
Nan Yan glanced at him and put back the card she was about to take out, calmly saying, “Call.”
Jesdaporn angrily pushed all his remaining chips forward, attempting to settle the outcome right then and there.
The atmosphere grew tense.
The onlookers, who were cheering before, now dared not make a sound, watching nervously, afraid to disturb Nan Yan.
With a casual flick of her hand, Nan Yan pushed the black card forward, a faint smile playing at the corner of her lips.
Her relaxed and careless demeanor sharply contrasted with Jesdaporn’s bulging veins and furious expression.
Both players revealed their cards simultaneously.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Nan Yan’s hands, holding their breath, afraid to even exhale, their heartbeats racing.
In comparison, Nan Yan was much more at ease. She casually revealed her cards and rested her chin on her hand, saying each word clearly, “You lost.”
Jesdaporn stood up directly, his face resembling someone who had eaten a fly as he stared at the cards in Nan Yan’s hand. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“It’s impossible…”
He counted the cards, that card would never be in her hand!
“Are you cheating?!”
He couldn’t believe that he had lost to a woman!
His words offended all the Chinese present.
Shen Junqing pressed his tongue against his cheek, a touch of fierceness in his peach blossom eyes.
“Can’t accept losing?” Nan Yan’s smile faded, and she said slowly, “Then today, I’ll make you submit.”
Jesdaporn’s face darkened, and he started to take the game seriously.
This round was definitely a mistake.
He was certain he could turn the tide.
However, Jesdaporn suffered the biggest and most devastating blow of his gambling career.
He experienced a torment akin to hell!
Regardless of the game or the type, he lost to Nan Yan in every single one.
In the end, he not only lost all the money he had won but also lost the 300 million he brought with him. He left the casino in despair.
After Jesdaporn left in despair, cheers erupted in the casino.
The casino owner personally came down to thank Nan Yan and handed her a card containing 30 million as a token of gratitude.
He even personally invited the two of them to his office to express his gratitude.
This time, Nan Yan made a significant profit. After deducting the casino’s share and giving half to Shen Junqing, she took home 180 million.
She was one step closer to her laboratory.
Back in the car, Shen Junqing was unusually serious. “Nan Yan, the way Jesdaporn looked at you before he left wasn’t right. He might come after you. It might not be safe for you to live alone.”
He paused and suggested, “My place is big, with many rooms. Why don’t you stay at my place for a few days?”
“No need, I’ll go home.”
“If you’re worried that it’s inappropriate for the two of us to live together, I can find another place to stay. There are more people there, and the security system is better than your residential area.”
Nan Yan raised her head and calmly said, “If he comes looking for trouble, it’ll be a good opportunity to test the efficacy of my new poison. It saves me the trouble of finding someone to test the medicine.”
She smiled mischievously, a touch of laziness in her beautiful eyes. “It’s rare for someone to come knocking on my door. Bro, don’t disturb
Shen Junqing was speechless.
What kind of sister did he end up with?!
Why is it that the more he gets to know her, the less he can understand her? Thinking back to the race when she unhesitatingly made Ta Sen’s car fly off the cliff, he didn’t know if he should worry that Nan Yan might be in danger or feel amused by Jesdaporn’s self-destruction.
“Since you don’t want to go, just remember to call me if something happens, okay?”
Nan Yan asked, “Should I call you to come and observe the reaction to the medication?”
Shen Junqing:
Back at the Jingtai Garden residential area, Nan Yan remembered his earlier suggestion of going upstairs for a cup of tea and tentatively asked, “Bro, do you want to come up and have a drink?”
Shen Junqing’s lips curved into a charming smile, his enchanting peach blossom eyes filled with amusement. “Since Little Yan Yan has extended such a gracious invitation, then Big Bro will come up for a glass of water.”
“I originally thought that even though we’re siblings, it might not be appropriate for a single man and woman to be alone together
Nan Yan:
She shouldn’t have asked in the first place!
But since she asked, she couldn’t take it back, so she could only regretfully lead Shen Junqing to her place.
The elevator door opened, but before they stepped out of the elevator, Nan Yan saw a tall figure standing at her door.
Immediately, she closed the elevator door that had just opened.
Then she turned to the side and said to Shen Junqing, “Brother, it might not be convenient for you to come to my place today.”
“Why don’t you go back first?”
Shen Junqing: “Heh…”
Don’t think he didn’t notice!
