"Congratulations, Mr. Yu, for winning the first round so quickly." Yang Meilan happily grabbed Yu Xiuzhun’s arm, leaned forward, and planted a kiss on his handsome face.

The next second, she shyly backed away.

Ye Mingmei’s face turned pale, watching as Jin Chenye indifferently stretched out his hand, took a glass of strong liquor handed over by the waiter, and downed it in one go.

"Come on, the second round."

Jin Chenye looked at Ye Mingmei and gestured for her to continue shuffling the cards.

"...Okay."

Ye Mingmei quickly picked up the cards, cut them a few times, and laid them out on the table again.

This time, she was a little bit quicker than the first.

Jin Chenye still drew first.

He moved swiftly, placing the card face-up on the table.

"Seven of spades." This time, luck was much better; a seven was quite a high point.

And it was the seven of spades, so even if Yu Xiuzhun drew seven points, he would lose to Jin Chenye.

Unless Yu Xiuzhun could draw an eight, nine, or ten, otherwise Jin Chenye would win this hand. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Ye Mingmei breathed a small sigh of relief and looked up at Yu Xiuzhun.

Yu Xiuzhun didn’t seem to care at all about what Jin Chenye drew, as he continued sipping red wine and flirted with Yang Meilan.

Seeing Jin Chenye’s card, he merely raised an eyebrow and reached out to draw a card.

This time he was much quicker.

It was the same swift move, drawing a card and pushing it in front of Yang Meilan with a wicked smile.

"You’re having good luck tonight, let’s see you turn it over."

"Hmm." Yang Meilan smiled happily, quickly reaching out to take the card and glanced at it.

The joy in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

With a flick of her wrist, she revealed Yu Xiuzhun’s card, and everyone gasped.

Another ten.

This time, Jin Chenye still didn’t speak, instead, he directly took the glass from the waiter’s hand, drank it all, and proceeded to the second glass.

The next round would mean drinking four glasses.

Such strong liquor, Ye Mingmei broke into a sweat for Jin Chenye.

The following rounds were equally without suspense.

Jin Chenye always drew first, and no matter what high number he got, Yu Xiuzhun consistently drew a ten.

Four tens seemed to be in his grasp, summoned at his will.

Jin Chenye did manage to draw a ten once, but because the suit was smaller than Yu Xiuzhun’s, he still lost.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Chenye had already consumed a third of the liquor tower.

And Yu Xiuzhun hadn’t lost a single round.

"Senior, there’s no way it’s just a coincidence, he’s obviously cheating!" Ye Mingmei, watching Jin Chenye drink one glass of strong liquor after another, was anxious to the point of tears.

At this rate of losing, even a great tolerance for alcohol wouldn’t hold up.

The next round, if he lost, he would have to drink thirty-two glasses directly!

Although the glasses weren’t big, with such high-proof liquor, Jin Chenye lost five rounds in a row, drinking a total of thirty-one glasses, his face already beginning to look a bit off.

If he were to drink thirty-two glasses in one go, it could really lead to alcohol poisoning.

But the cards were shuffled by her, Yu Xiuzhun hadn’t even touched them.

At this moment, she couldn’t say Yu Xiuzhun was cheating, or others would just say they were sore losers making excuses.

"Can we stop playing?"

Ye Mingmei, frightened, clutched Jin Chenye’s arm, whispering softly.

She didn’t understand the pride of men, she just didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of her.

Yu Xiuzhun was trying to teach her a lesson, but it was Jin Chenye who ended up suffering.

If something really happened to Jin Chenye, Ye Mingmei would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Jin’s face seems a bit off, if you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to push through."
