You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Refuse To Admit

Wu Nian was left with no choice, so she sat down beside Gu Mingchen, with Su Xuyan opposite her.

“We’re playing show hand. You know the rules?” Stephen amiably asked.

“Yeah, I know. But I’m not good at it.” Wu Nian let off an awkward smile.

“It’s okay because we’re not good at it either. Every call has a minimum charge but no upper limit.” Stephen wickedly explained.

The mention of ”no upper limit” made her knew they were playing it big.

However, she had an advantage because show hand was all about playing with luck and psychological warfare.

“Hope everyone will show me some mercy,” Wu Nian said.

Stephen burst into laughter hearing what she said. He gave out the cards.

Wu Nian did not look at her hidden card. Her face-up card was an A, Su Xuyan’s was a J and both Gu Mingchen’s and Stephen’s was a K.

Because they had lesser players, they played with a French-suited deck of 32 cards, consisting of 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace in four suits each.

Every time Wu Nian initiated a call, she’d raised the lowest bet. In the last round, Wu Nian’s cards face- up were AQJ10, and Gu Mingchen’s was KKQQ. Stephen gave up at the third round as he had a low hand of 107Q. Su Xuyan’s cards face-up were K101010.

Wu Nian stole a glance at her hidden card and put it back without an expression.

“Three of a kind, tens. It’s Xu Yan’s call,” Stephen said.

“The two of you are betting on a K. If one of you has a hidden K, then the other one doesn’t have it. I’m betting ten thousand. But I don’t have that much cash with me. Perhaps I could use a cheque?” Su Xuyan asked.

“Cheque? I have spare cash with me, so you can just transfer me a hundred thousand,” Stephen said.

“Sounds good.” Su Xuyan then transferred to Stephen.

Stephen went to get some cash upon receiving the transfer.

Gu Mingchen folded his cards.

Wu Nian smiled. “Mr. Su, do you think one hundred thousand is enough? I’m betting a million.”

Su Xuyan was a little stunned. He glanced at Wu Nian and asked, “there’s already three Ks faced up, are you sure you’re betting this much?”

“You can doubt me but just give me a million, Mr. Su.” Wu Nian calmly replied.

Su Xuyan frowned. He took a glance at Wu Nian and another glance at Aaron.

Aaron didn’t make any expression but only a soft smile.

“Are you sure you’re gonna let your girlfriend do that?” Su Xuyan asked him.

“As long as she’s happy, I can afford that,” Aaron affectionately responded.

Gu Mingchen looked at Aaron coldly. His peaceful gaze had a hint of rage. His expression only cleared when he withdrew his gaze.

Su Xuyan lifted an evil smile on his face. He covered his cards and looked at Wu Nian. “You’re a girl, so I don’t want to scare you. You’re the winner for this round.”

“Thank you.” Wu Nian showed Su Xuyan her hidden card. It was an 8.

Su Xuyan laughed.

Stephen came over and saw everyone’s cards covered up. He curiously asked, “So who’s the winner? What’s your hidden card, Wu Nian?”

“An 8.”

“Amazing. You’re nowhere inferior to us,” Stephen applauded.

Su Xuyan threw a stack of notes to Wu Nian. “I admit defeat.”

On their next three rounds, Wu Nian didn’t get good hands. She folded after she drew the third card every round.

She watched the cash flowing on the table.

Every round’s bet was at least ten thousand.

In the fifth round, Wu Nian’s cards face-up were JQ910 after five draws. Gu Mingchen’s was 10QJK, Su Xuyan’s was 88KK, and Stephen folded after two cards which were 8K.

“Ten thousand,” Su Xuyan said.

Gu Mingchen folded his cards.

Wu Nian took a glance at him.

Gu Mingchen looked back at her with a darkened gaze.

She thought Gu Mingchen gave in to her deliberately.

“One million,” Wu Nian said.

Su Xuyan frowned. “You’re doing this for real?”

The ends of Wu Nian’s lips curved up into a grin. “To you, you’re playing with your own money. But to me, I’m not at a disadvantage even if I lose, yet I get to earn money if I win. So tell me, do you think I’m playing it real?”

There was a flash of disgust in Su Xuyan’s eyes as he looked at Aaron.

Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “The woman I love is indeed smart.”

Su Xuyan pulled a forced smile. “One million, I’ll give it to you.”

Wu Nian flipped her card over and it was an 8. She had a set of straight 8910JQ, while Su Xuyan only a pair. He lost.

Su Xuyan smiled. “Great job. I’ll transfer it to you. Send me your account number. My mobile number is…”

Su Xuyan used the cards to form his phone number on the table.

Wu Nian did not bother to hold back either and immediately texted him Liu Yan’s account number.

Su Xuyan saw Liu Yan’s name on the account number he was given. He knitted his brows and looked at Wu Nian.

“It’s the same as we’re very close,” explained Wu Nian.

Su Xuyan puckered his lips as he transferred the money over and then showed Wu Nian the text.

“I don’t feel like playing anymore, Aaron. I’m a little tired,” said Wu Nian as she turned to Aaron.

Aaron left a kiss on her forehead. “Go and rest, goodnight.”

Wu Nian reciprocated with a similar peck on his forehead. “Goodnight, darling.”

Su Xuyan frowned because he realized Wu Nian wasn’t Bai Rong after their interactions.

Then, he sized Gu Mingchen up.

Gu Mingchen looked down. He didn’t seem to have a change of expression. It was as if he was not involved with the happenings around him.

Su Xuyan felt a little discouraged.

He tried to sound him out a couple more times, but he did not get an answer he wanted.

Wu Nian went back to the room to find Liu Yan looking at her phone mysteriously. “Nian, it’s weird. My account has an extra one million all of a sudden. What should I do? Should I report it to the bank to return to its owner?”

“I just won that and it’s my gift to you. You’ll need it when you go to Dartan.”

“You won it? Shen Yiyan just gave me ten million so I’ve got enough money. You should keep it yourself. You could neither be a doctor nor a psychologist now, and your salary’s not high too. On top of that, you can’t use your savings from before.” Liu Yan got more worried as she went on.

“I’ll be working as a tutor for Gu Mingchen, so I won’t have too many expenses.”

“Forget about that. Gu Mingchen is such a temperamental guy, so who knows when will you get fired? I was intending to leave a few million for you before I leave.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Wu Nian held onto Liu Yan’s hands. “I won’t get fired this time, I promise.”

There was a sudden bang outside at this moment.

Wu Nian and Liu Yan jumped up in shock.

“What’s going on? Is Stephen playing with firecrackers?” Liu Yan asked.

Wu Nian had a bad feeling. She was just playing cards with Stephen a while ago so it can’t be him.

She opened the door and looked down.

The main door had been kicked open. A group of masked men dressed in black barged in from the main door. They looked skilled as they held onto their submachine guns…
