"I trust you." Yang Meilan replied straightforwardly without even thinking.

She admired the aura of both righteousness and wickedness on Yu Xiuzhun, arrogant yet not conceited. The ability to draw a ten for five consecutive rounds definitely wasn’t by chance, he had a reason to be proud.

"You don’t dare?" Yu Xiuzhun slowly raised his head, but he wasn’t looking at the reluctant Jin Chenye, instead, he was staring at the stunned Ye Mingmei.

Ye Mingmei was dazed, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and innocence, clearly still not comprehending how the game involved her.

She had just been dealing cards obediently, being a spectator.

Meeting Yu Xiuzhun’s teasing gaze, Ye Mingmei instinctively looked towards Jin Chenye.

"Oh, scared, huh? That last round was played so beautifully, I thought you had some skills. It seems like a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse, getting a lucky break."

Someone nearby began to question.

"I thought it was odd, if they could really win, why wait till the last round? It must have been a stroke of sheer luck."

"It’s really unfair for Mr. Yu to lose like that. If Mr. Yu had drawn first, maybe someone wouldn’t even have a chance to turn the tables."

"Exactly, exactly..."

The sounds of ridicule continued to ring in his ears, occasionally someone wanted to speak for Jin Chenye, but they were deterred by the Yu family’s presence and kept quiet.

Yu Xiuzhun raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, leaning lazily against the chair, seemingly unconcerned about having just lost a round.

Jin Chenye’s expression was indifferent, completely unconcerned with what the people around were saying.

Catching Ye Mingmei’s gaze, he spoke with certainty.

"I won’t bet against him..."

"I agree." Ye Mingmei suddenly opened her mouth, interrupting Jin Chenye.

Her eyes glimmered slightly, looking at Jin Chenye, "Senior, I believe in you, let’s bet against him." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Mingmei!"

Jin Chenye frowned.

The situation was already very clear, everyone around was looking for an opportunity to curry favor with Yu Xiuzhun, waiting to watch them make a fool of themselves.

Unless they could make Yu Xiuzhun lose convincingly, even betting ten more rounds would yield the same result.

No one knew what kind of stakes Yu Xiuzhun would propose next, Jin Chenye himself didn’t care, but he couldn’t gamble with Ye Mingmei’s future.

It was clear Yu Xiuzhun intended to make things difficult for Ye Mingmei.

"It’s okay, anyway, there’s not much time left. After playing one more round, we can leave." Ye Mingmei blinked and smiled faintly.

They had already been delayed long enough, if it continued, the important partners of the Ye Group might leave.

By then, Yu Xiuzhun wouldn’t have any excuse to keep them.

It would be better to just go all out and gamble one more round with him.

"I’m not confident I will win." Jin Chenye admitted honestly.

Yu Xiuzhun was unlike any opponent he had encountered before.

Yu Xiuzhun was more cunning and perceptive than he had imagined, growing up in the unique background of the Yu family, his gambling skills were probably not as simple as they seemed.

To remember fifty-two cards so quickly and accurately draw a ten each time was a skill Jin Chenye had practiced for a long time, but he could see that Yu Xiuzhun was more skilled.

If Yu Xiuzhun hadn’t deliberately shown weakness first and then exploited the chance to draw first, it wouldn’t have been easy to win against him even once.

Now that the rules have changed and Yu Xiuzhun was also cautious of him, he truly wasn’t entirely confident.

"Gambling is inherently risky behavior, there’s no sure win, three parts luck and seven parts effort, let’s give it a try. Even if we lose, I’ll just take it as a way to cool down, I can swim, I’m not afraid."
