"Mr. Yu, it’s your turn."

Jin Chenye was the first to reveal the Spade A ahead of Yu Xiuzhun, and it was also a gamble.

Without the Spade A, Yu Xiuzhun had only one last chance left.

"Are you scared?" Yu Xiuzhun didn’t look at Jin Chenye; instead, he gazed directly at Ye Mingmei, whose face had already turned pale.

Jin Chenye landed such a good hand, yet her complexion did not improve one bit; on the contrary, she began to tremble slightly.

Where did that fearless boldness go just now?

Yu Xiuzhun initially intended to teach her a lesson, but seeing her like this, he frowned instead.

"It’s your turn to reveal the card." Ye Mingmei bit her lip, her beautiful large eyes carrying a hint of innocence, fixated on Yu Xiuzhun, who hadn’t yet turned over the card with his hand still pressing down on it.

Her face was very pale, unusually so.

Even her lip color showed no trace of blood.

Her small hand tightly gripped the remaining cards, fingers trembling.

"Very scared?" Yu Xiuzhun’s deep eyes narrowed slightly and asked again, "Answer me."

"..."

Ye Mingmei froze at his shout, "Of course I’m scared."

Wasn’t he stating the obvious?

If Jin Chenye lost, she would have to jump into the swimming pool.

Although nothing major would happen, it was night now, and the pool water was so cold. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Furthermore, there were so many people around at the banquet; if she jumps in here, she probably wouldn’t dare to attend any more parties for a long time.

The gossip from others could drown her.

Ye Mingmei thought she wasn’t afraid, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but tremble gently.

"I lost." Yu Xiuzhun suddenly said, his tall figure leaning back against the chair, coldly raising an eyebrow.

"..."

Ye Mingmei was stunned, her eyes widened as if she didn’t process what was happening.

Yu Xiuzhun said he lost?

So the one who should jump into the water wasn’t her?

"Mr. Yu..."

Now it was Yang Meilan who became anxious.

She had agreed with Yu Xiuzhun’s decision earlier, so now she was the one who had to bear the consequences.

Jump into the pool in front of so many people.

Yang Meilan’s face changed.

"You don’t dare?" Yu Xiuzhun’s handsome face bore no extra expression, merely glanced at her indifferently, his tone aloof.

"I... dare."

At this point, for Yu Xiuzhun, Yang Meilan wouldn’t allow herself to retreat.

If it’s just about losing face, having Yu Xiuzhun owe her—she couldn’t ask for more.

Yang Meilan bit her lip and was just about to stand up when she suddenly realized that the card next to Yu Xiuzhun’s hand hadn’t been revealed.

She could afford to lose, but she needed to lose clearly.

Yang Meilan instinctively reached out to grab the last card on the table.

As she flipped it over, she was stunned.

"It’s the nine of spades, a straight, Mr. Yu, we clearly won!" Yang Meilan’s voice suddenly became very excited.

Yu Xiuzhun’s face instantly darkened, as he pressed down the card she had flipped over, coldly commanded, "Who told you to touch it!"

"You did it on purpose?"

Yang Meilan was shaken by the anger in his eyes, and her mind slowly became clear.

"..."

Seeing the card Yang Meilan revealed, both Jin Chenye and Ye Mingmei were stunned.

The surrounding was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

It was just a game, but it took a very strange atmosphere.

Perhaps besides Yu Xiuzhun, only Jin Chenye understood.

No wonder he thought it strange how Yu Xiuzhun could lose so decisively at a critical moment.

Turns out it was intentional...

Yang Meilan’s grievance made her tears fall instantly.
