"There's no need to speak anymore nonsense. Mr Su, open your cards." Bai Zhen urged.
Chen Xuefei's heart was stuck in his throat. He said that he was going to accompany to play cards with him, and before the chair was hot, Su Bei had bet all of their chips in the first match, and it was an impulsive big risk.
The customers at the nearby table were also attracted by the game. When Angel and Liu Hanyan walked closer, they saw that it was actually Su Bei.
Liu Hanyan turned her head and was about to leave, but Angel pulled on his arm immediately. Didn't you say that you guys are fine?
"Hehe, just a scum." Liu Hanyan was extremely vexed, she was not clear about the financial situation of Liu Group, he anxiously bought his share of the shares and sold it to Hong Wei, it was already a great injury to her, and now Su Bei was actually using the money he had to sell his shares for, spendthrift.
As Liu Hanyan's best friend, Angel naturally leaned towards her. However, Angel couldn't say out her bitterness, she was sure that Su Bei had done all these for Liu Hanyan's own good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given the information regarding the Aunt Zhong to Liu Hanyan.
Su Bei gently lifted the card in his hand and casually threw it on the table: A spade.
Boom!
Everyone cried out in alarm. The limit of the blackjack skill was 21 points, but who would be so stubborn as to chase after the blackjack skill? All they needed to do was to be bigger and bigger in this area.
Su Bei glanced at the badge, and heaved a sigh of relief, then chuckled: "Seems like my luck is quite good."
Chen Xuefei gaped at the cards in front of her. Her mind raced, and she felt that Su Bei knew that her trump card was A from the beginning. After all, there was something that ordinary people did not understand in Su Bei's body.
"Hehe, Mr Su is indeed brave, I admit defeat. This will stop until today. If Mr Su is interested, we can continue tomorrow. " Bai Zhen was not depressed at all. He got up and left the game table.
Chen Xuefei looked at Su Bei in astonishment, "You … Why are you taking such a risk? " Actually, she wanted to ask if you cheated, but there were too many people around, so he could only put it differently.
Su Bei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if we all get done in this, the next round will still be the same. It's also the same if we bet for an entire night. "Although I don't know how to gamble, this kind of stalemate will always occur. Director Bai isn't someone who takes money seriously."
Chen Xuefei frowned, but then she relaxed and thought about it again. Both sides were not short on money. No matter how many games they played, they would always fight for the last card. Rather than wasting more time and luck, it was better to just be like Su Bei and bet everything on this card.
At the same time, Chen Xuefei was very touched, because Su Bei's gamble did not involve her in this dangerous and exciting contest. It was even the first time a man stood in front of him, shielding himself from the wind and the rain. Looking at Su Bei who was younger than him by five or six years, Chen Xuefei's heart once again moved.
As she was speaking, Su Bei's smile suddenly froze. He saw that familiar yet extremely unfamiliar face of Liu Hanyan. Although it was just a glance, she had lost a lot of weight compared to a few days ago.
"Hur hur, isn't this Chairman Liu?" When Chen Xuefei raised her head and also saw Liu Hanyan, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared completely. She had never had a good impression of Liu Hanyan to begin with, because regarding Su Bei, she was even more disgusted with her.
Liu Hanyan frowned, her mouth raised into a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing, she then looked at Su Bei, her gaze becoming disdainful, and suddenly said in a low voice: "He really is a genius that eats soft food."
"…" Su Bei had nothing to say. No man would like the reputation of eating soft food, but it didn't matter to him anymore. He and Chen Xuefei wasn't related to each other in the first place, and even if there was, it was just a level of relationship, not a benefit to him.
Su Bei was angry because his place in Liu Hanyan's heart was actually so low. But what made Liu Hanyan angry was that regardless of whether you won or lost, you used the money from selling off your Liu Group and shares to come here and spend time and effort.
"Angel is here too." When Chen Xuefei shifted her attention back to Angel, she deliberately ignored Liu Hanyan, pointing at her and ridiculed her: "Three days and you already have a whole new level of respect for me. Girl, you're getting prettier and prettier, I even want to introduce you to my little brother, haha."
Angel laughed: "Others are fine, but your brother is fine. What do you think, Su Bei?"
Su Bei heard these words and felt that these three women should have a good relationship with each other. They did not have any deep grudges, and their parents were even good brothers who fought together. However, from the looks of it now, they were talking shamelessly and were even more furious than enemies meeting each other.
"Since we're here to play, I have an opinion." Just as he was about to stop her, he heard her say, "Hanyan and I are only here to play a few rounds, but Hanyan doesn't know anything about gambling, and of course I'm not very good at it either. "Why don't we go to the sports hall tomorrow morning and play football to build up our physical fitness? Let's enjoy ourselves when we have a chance to gamble. How about that?"
As expected, once Angel said those words, both Chen Xuefei and Liu Hanyan started to tacitly agree, and there were even some anger, as if they wished to ruthlessly teach the other party a lesson right now.
As matters stood, Su Bei could only blame Angel for fanning the flames.
At midnight, the sea temperature did not change much. However, without the sunlight, the sea breeze felt very comfortable on his face. At this time, most of the guests had already gone back to their rooms to sleep. There were very few who had become successful and were still enjoying the romance of the night.
Chen Xuefei hugged her shoulders as she looked at the end of the pitch black sky which connected with Hai Tian. The Bai Zhen of today left a lingering fear in her heart, to the point where the more she thought about it, the more scared she was.
Now, his younger brother Chen Zekai accepted the Shengshi Real Estate Group, but he was still a kid after all. It was precisely because of this, that Chen Zekai, who had an overzealous and competitive nature, would probably be linked to this Bai Zhen. What she was most afraid of was that Chen Zekai would set off a storm of internal strife, and more worried that there would be people instigating things from behind the scenes.
"Go back to sleep." Su Bei said softly.
"I'm not too sleepy, but what about you?"
"Me too." After Su Bei finished speaking, he laughed, "It's not good for a woman's skin if she sleeps too late."
"Good and bad, you don't need a big sister. A woman will take care of herself, hehe."
"Who said I don't want it?"
Chen Xuefei snuggled up to his arms with a smile on her face. Sometimes she really needed someone to rely on, in the past, when Chen Yuvliang was here, she could rely on her father, and then on her brother when he returned. But now that Chen Zekai had changed and changed into an appearance that no one knew, Chen Xuefei suddenly realised that since she had made so many friends and dignitaries, the only one she could rely on was Su Bei. Even if the two of them could never be husband and wife and could only be siblings, the deep feelings in their hearts had finally found a place to place their trust in.
"Do you sleep very little?" Chen Xuefei touched the stubble on Su Bei's chin.
"You must be used to it."
"You." On the dangerous journey to send Chen Zekai back to the Jianghai, she had heard Er Zi say that his Brother Su Bei had not slept for a week.
Su Bei's insomnia wasn't something that could last one or two days, sometimes he would feel extremely sleepy as well. However, as long as he closed his eyes, he would wake up immediately.
In the dead of night, for the sake of the passengers' sleep, the passenger motor was shut off, leaving only the sound of the ship breaking through the waves. Chen Xuefei gently pressed on his shoulder until she was completely wrapped in warmth. Even though she was in a clear state of mind, the two of them were actually immersed in one dream after another. The harmony and happiness that the dream and reality interweaved created made the two of them feel as if they were in the clouds, rising and falling, and the entire world became as quiet as before.
Before dawn, Su Bei finally remembered the diagnosis and treatment methods of the President Shen. He wanted to find someone who was well-informed to pour out his heart and wipe his wounds with the person he loved. He had originally thought that this person would be Liu Hanyan, but in the end, he had changed into Chen Xuefei. It was an unforgettable night, like a dragon sloughing off its heavy carapace and leaping out of the pool to become a soaring dragon.
Looking at it from the bottom of his heart, Chen Xuefei's lonely heart for ten years was filled with the fragrance of the Gardenia Flower. It was clearly a low point in her life, yet it had become the happiest period of her life as a woman, as if the one conquering her was not Su Bei, but the ocean and the night sky. She was merely a small island floating in the ocean, and compared to the vastness of the ocean, she could only obediently wait to reclaim land once again. In her heart, she had secretly counted a total of ten melodies from her dreams.
At daybreak, the two of them arrived at the dining room covered in sweat.
"Beef and eggs?" Su Bei asked Chen Xuefei who was sitting in the corner and tidying up the filth on her skirt.
"Is the milk hot? It's a little cold." Chen Xuefei laughed.
Although it was a self-service restaurant with running water, the breakfast time was relatively later. After all, none of these rich merchants were the ones who would wake up early to practice, as their milk and coffee hadn't even been brewed yet. Su Bei took two servings of hot soy milk and placed it in front of Chen Xuefei.
"You've never tasted this, have you?"
Although he was not used to it, it was still warmer than milk. He smiled lightly at Su Bei, and without knowing if it was on purpose or not, he bit on the straw with his teeth.
Su Bei embarrassedly put a piece of cake into his mouth, "What are you laughing for, it's so evil."
"I'm laughing at you. Hehe, you still haven't escaped from my palms."
"It was you who said the opposite, right? I wonder who begged first, hur hur." Su Bei retaliated.
"Alright, I won't joke around with you. After I finish eating, I'll go back and sleep for a while. My body is a bit uncomfortable. If Angel and Liu Hanyan really want to play ball with me, help me push them off. "
"Okay, I'll talk to Angel later. Are you sure you're okay?"
Chen Xuefei stared at him softly, blaming him for asking such an obvious question. When he left the dining hall, his body swayed a little, and he felt like he was about to collapse at any moment due to paralysis.
Just as Su Bei was about to send her off, he raised his head and saw a fat figure walking towards him from the entrance of the restaurant.
"Hehe, Mr Su is so early."
"No, President Hong was even earlier, but I heard that the bugs that woke up early were eaten by birds."
