The onlookers were dumbfounded.
However, Ye Yao knew her limits. After winning 4,500 yuan, she looked at the onlookers and waved her hand. Then she grinned at Huo Buyu and even sighed pretentiously. “It’s lonely at the top. No one can be my match.”
Huo Buyu rolled his eyes in anger. There were so many people here and Ye Yao was using her Verbal Virtuosity technique so openly, without worrying that someone might find it fishy? However, he was also observing the people around him and realized that they were all clapping and surprised. They seemed to think that Ye Yao was so capable and did not question other possibilities.
For the first time, he felt that he was worrying for nothing. Every day, he was worried that Ye Yao would spout nonsense, afraid that others would realize her ability, afraid that she’d be taken away as an experiment subject. But the fact was that no one around her suspected her at all. Even Qin Jiao, who was watching everything that happened, did not question it. She only felt that Ye Yao was very strange. Perhaps she had done something to the balls, such as placing a magnet in it and deliberately showing off in front of so many people. As for other possibilities, such as Verbal Virtuosity, it was simply beyond her imagination.
Ye Yao walked to Huo Buyu’s side and whispered, “Remember to transfer the money to me.”
At this point, Gao Qiao wailed, “Ye Yao! Heroine Ye! Come and save me! I’ve lost so much that I’m almost down to my underwear! Boohoo!”
Gao Qiao rushed out of the crowd and clung on to Ye Yao’s thigh, crying miserably. He liked to play mahjong because he always had luck. He often defeated the others to the extent that they’d be in tears. However, for some reason today, he was extremely out of luck. He had not won a single game!
In the end, Gao Qiao lost so badly that he had no dignity left in him. She could only ask Ye Yao for help!
Xu Zhicheng also walked over, looking radiant. It was obvious that lady luck was shining upon him. He looked at the disheveled Gao Qiao with a smile and said, ‘Gao Qiao, it’s not good for you to be like this. Usually, whenever luck is in your favor, I don’t run away halfway through just because I’ve been losing.
We haven’t even warmed up, why are you running away? Hurry up and get on with it. It’s rare that luck is on my side. You can’t stand me up halfway.”
Gao Qiao was usually a despicable person. When he was making money, he’d brag about it. Now, the tables had finally turned! Of course, Xu Zhicheng would not let go of a good opportunity to take advantage of Gao Qiao!
Gao Qiao clung tightly to Ye Yao’s thigh and refused to let go. He shouted at Xu Zhicheng, “Let me tell you, Xu Zhicheng, don’t be smug. My boss, Ye Yao, is here. You have to admit defeat when it comes to her luck and skills! I was taught by her. If she takes over, I guarantee that you won’t have a chance of winning!”
Xu Zhichengs luck today was extremely good, and he was unhappy when he heard Gao Qiao’s words. “I don’t believe it. With my luck today, let me tell you, I can defeat anyone!”
At this moment, Xu Zhicheng finally understood that one would naturally be smug and want to brag when one’s luck was good! He couldn’t control himself!
As for Ye Yao, what she hated the most was others showing off in her face. She waved her hand. “Come on! Let’s have a challenge!’
Huo Buyu had no intention of stopping her. He wanted to see the reactions of the people around him and know if he was worrying unnecessarily.
“Boss, please take a seat!” Gao Qiao pulled out a chair for Ye Yao and massaged her shoulders obsequiously. His attitude was extremely flattering. This was because everyone had been watching Ye Yao play billiards just then. Now that she was going to play mahjong, a group of people followed her to watch.
Xu Zhicheng sat opposite Ye Yao and smiled at her. ‘Gao Qiao was sitting in your seat earlier on and had really tough luck. What do you think? Would you like to change seats with me?”
“That’s not necessary,” Ye Yao said indifferently. “I don’t rely on my seat to play mahjong. I rely on myself.”
Xu Zhicheng smiled. Ye Yao’s tone was too arrogant. Moreover, Xu Zhicheng had already forgotten Ye Yao. The last time Gao Qiao brought Ye Yao to a nightclub, Huo Buyu had asked the man for her, and Gao Qiao had given her to him. He hadn’t taken this matter to heart and had forgotten about it after that. Moreover, he had only met Ye Yao once before, so it was not surprising that he didn’t remember her.
But this time, Xu Zhicheng wasn’t going to forget her in a hurry. After all, her tone was unbearably arrogant!
Xu Zhicheng started to roll the dice and said to Ye Yao, “Since you don’t wish to change seats, don’t cry if your luck isn’t good later.”
Ye Yao didn’t think much of it. “Gao Qiao’s luck isn’t good, but mine is. Moreover, you’ll definitely lose the first game.”
Gao Qiao immediately gave Ye Yao a thumbs up.. “Boss is awesome!”
