Chapter 1178: Chapter 1223: Just Playing Around

"Yuyang, you are seriously aweso!"

"Yuyang, you were incredibly cool just now! The look on that guy’s face was just too funny."

"Driving a asly Benz and acting all that, they scratch it and they still have to suck it up with no temper, haha, that was too satisfying."

As soon as everyone got back to the hotel, they surrounded Zheng Yuyang with non-stop flattery. For many, being bullied naturally ans cursing the unfairness of society, cursing the rich for showing off, but when you can bully others, it feels incredibly satisfying. No one would consider if such an act is right or not; it’s human nature’s worst trait—always considering one’s own gain.

Li Yifei doesn’t claim to be any more noble; he always stands up for his family, thus he doesn’t try to play the saint. At the very least, for his classmates, Zheng Yuyang was a huge help to Hou Jianwei. Plus, there’s a bit of jealousy towards the rich; owning a Benz ans wealth, so slapping a rich person’s face feels even more exhilarating.

"Zheng Yuyang was really quite sothing just now," ng Xiaofei said with a giggle, winking at Li Yifei. "But sohow, it still doesn’t feel as badass as when you do it."

Li Yifei and ng Xiaofei, heads together, chuckled softly. "Is that so? But can I say I wouldn’t be as foolish as him?"

ng Xiaofei chuckled mischievously, "Exactly, he’s just foolish. Before anyone else could say anything, he started showing off. We should let the other side act cocky first, then go ahead and smack them down. That’s the real thrill."

"You must have read too many novels."

"You joke, but I’ve really been reading quite a bit lately, especially a silly one called ’The School Beauty’s Personal Master’. In it, the protagonist always slaps people’s faces when they’re full of themselves. It’s so satisfying; I get quite a kick out of it."

"Is that so? Maybe I’ll check it out when I’m free."

"Do that, you’ll definitely enjoy it. Oh right, they’ve even made that book into a ga. It’s lots of fun. Brother Li, do you want to give it a go?"

"Forget it, when do I have the ti for gas? You go ahead and play." After a bit of banter, Li Yifei said softly, "I have a feeling this isn’t going to end here; the other party will surely send soone."

ng Xiaofei’s eyes lit up with excitent, "That’s great, even more drama to watch! So Brother Li, do you think which side will be tougher?"

"If you ask ... Zheng Yuyang is likely to face so disadvantages."

"Are you going to help him then?"

"That... depends on the situation. After all, he is your classmate. If things get unsolvable, then I’ll step in to help. But in this case, we’re not really in the right, so it’ll be tricky for

to handle."

ng Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yeah, we’ll see how it goes. We all ca out to have fun today, and it would be a sha if the mood got spoiled."

Zheng Yuyang was basking in the adulation of all his classmates, looking very pleased with himself. Of course, what he hoped for the most was for ng Xiaofei to look at him with the sa admiration. But at this mont, ng Xiaofei was busy whispering with Li Yifei, which irked him.

Breaking away from the others, Zheng Yuyang approached Li Yifei and ng Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, Li Yifei, aren’t you two being antisocial, whispering over here? Can’t these whispers wait until you’re ho?"

Shen Yuying laughed, saying, "Exactly, Xiaofei, you and your boyfriend are just dripping with love. I’m telling you, showy couples end quickly; better to take it easy."

ng Xiaofei laughed, "Alright, alright, no more public displays of affection. Co on, let’s do sothing fun together, like playing cards or dancing. Standing here chatting is so boring."

"Yeah, yeah, we should all find sothing fun to do together." Everyone agreed.

Zheng Yuyang frowned slightly. ng Xiaofei steered the conversation away, as he hadn’t had enough of his mont yet, but since everyone was on board, he waved it off, "No problem, we’re here for a class reunion to have a blast. Look, I’ve got everything ready. If you want to play cards, there are tables over there with mahjong and poker; if you want to dance, we’ll put on so music straight away. Just do whatever is fun."

And upon the ntion of cards, Zheng Yuyang had an idea, smiling at Li Yifei, "Li Yifei, would you be interested in playing?"

Li Yifei shrugged and said, "Sure, but I don’t play much usually, so I’m not very good."

Zheng Yuyang laughed, "It’s just for fun, nothing serious. I don’t play often either, but today’s about having fun."

When ng Xiaofei heard about playing cards, she said excitedly, "Great, great, Yifei, let’s go play together."

Li Yifei said indulgently, "If you want to play, then let’s play."

ng Xiaofei grinned, "Good, I want to play, you help ."

"Sure, you play however you like." Li Yifei’s readiness to agree was as cheerful as ever, his smile still carried that indulgent quality.

Zheng Yuyang said, "Xiaofei, it might be better for you to join the girls. It can get boring for a girl to get involved when n are playing cards."

ng Xiaofei quickly retorted, "Who says so? I know you guys play big; I won’t enjoy it if it’s a small ga. Yifei, am I right?"

"If you want to play big, we’ll play big, just don’t gamble

into poverty."

ng Xiaofei imdiately puffed out her chest and said, "Did you hear that, Big Monitor Zheng, do you dare to co play? It’s perfect because I’ve been needing so pocket money lately, and I want to win so from a tycoon like you."

Zheng Yuyang had originally intended to win so money from Li Yifei, then make him look foolish and embarrassed, but ng Xiaofei was eager to play, which might make him feel reluctant to go all out. Yet, the prospect of playing cards with ng Xiaofei was a delight in itself.

Shaking his head, Zheng Yuyang pretended to be reluctant and said, "Alright then, since Xiaofei wants to play, I’ll join in for a bit of fun. But what shall we play? You tell ."

ng Xiaofei blinked and said, "I saw this cool God of Gamblers on TV, what was the ga he played again?"

"So-Ha," Zheng Yuyang imdiately explained.

"Right, So-Ha, let’s play that," ng Xiaofei said excitedly.

"It’s okay to play that, but isn’t it a bit much? We’re all classmates, and it wouldn’t be nice if the stakes were too high, would it?"

"What’s the problem? I just want to win from you, the tycoon. Co on, let’s play this," she insisted.

Zheng Yuyang chuckled inwardly - he was no stranger to gambling and had played So-Ha many tis. He had no confidence against pros, but against a novice like ng Xiaofei, he saw no issue.

They sat down at the table and called over two other classmates who enjoyed playing gas, so the four of them sat around the table, with Li Yifei sitting behind ng Xiaofei to assist her.

"Xiaofei, you’re a girl, how much do you want to bet?" Zheng Yuyang asked with a grin, looking at ng Xiaofei.

"This...I’m not sure, but I know it’d be best to go all in with a hundred or eight hundred thousand. That would be thrilling," she said.

Everyone’s faces turned dark. Aside from Zheng Yuyang, all present were just ordinary people. At best, so made five to six thousand a month, and at worst, about three thousand. Not to ntion hundreds of thousands, they couldn’t even afford a bet of a thousand or eight hundred.

Zheng Yuyang laughed, "Isn’t that a little too much?"

ng Xiaofei imdiately replied, "Not at all, not at all. Otherwise, how could it be thrilling?"

Zheng Yuyang said, "If you put it that way, then only the two of us can play."

ng Xiaofei eagerly responded, "Okay then, just the two of us it is."

"Xiaofei, you’re not joking, are you?" Zheng Yuyang looked at her doubtfully.

ng Xiaofei said seriously, "Of course I’m not joking. I’ve never played anything this exciting as I’ve grown up. Big Monitor Zheng, as a tycoon, you’re not backing out, are you?"

"Of course not, but... does your boyfriend have that much money?" Zheng Yuyang provocatively looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "As long as Xiaofei likes it, I’m not afraid even if we lose everything. I can still co up with that one million."

Everyone was already focusing on Zheng Yuyang, but the prospect of playing cards had attracted everyone else’s attention. They were all startled by such a scenario – a million-dollar betting ga, sothing they had only seen on television and never in real life. Although Li Yifei was sowhat better off than the rest, the fact that he would cough up a million for ng Xiaofei to gamble with was an extre indulgence.

Shen Yuying hurriedly pulled ng Xiaofei aside and whispered, "Xiaofei, don’t be rash."

But ng Xiaofei hurriedly retorted, "I’m not being rash, I’m serious. Don’t worry, I’m sure to win."

Zheng Yuyang laughed heartily and said, "Since Xiaofei is so confident, let’s play then. The limit’s one million, with a minimum bet of ten thousand. What do you think?"

"Great, let’s play," ng Xiaofei imdiately said with excitent, rubbing her hands together. This girl, always so reckless whenever it ca to playing.

The dealer was Yang Yudong – his card shuffling skills were indeed impressive as he shuffled the deck with a rustling sound, then dealt each of them one open card, followed by one hidden card.

As soon as ng Xiaofei got her cards, she excitedly declared, "I bet a hundred thousand."

Everyone was shocked. The minimum bet was already an outrageous ten thousand, but ng Xiaofei’s first bet was a direct hundred thousand – weren’t they going to see an outco on this very round?

Zheng Yuyang was also taken aback, as ng Xiaofei was playing far too aggressively.

However, as soon as he saw ng Xiaofei’s cards on the table, Zheng Yuyang burst out laughing, because ng Xiaofei had actually flipped over her hidden card.

The most important aspect of So-Ha is to win with the hidden card, but there went ng Xiaofei, revealing hers without much thought – that’s not how the ga is played.

"Oh no! I forgot, the hidden card isn’t supposed to be revealed. Sorry, sorry, this round doesn’t count," ng Xiaofei said as she pushed the cards, looking very natural doing it.

Zheng Yuyang had a dark expression. He had thought ng Xiaofei was feigning ignorance like a poker-faced pro, but as it turned out, this girl really had no idea how to play.
