After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 482 - 376: Lost Everything
Approaching noon, in the Ning family living room.
Zhao Sui, who came to play and relax, has already lost miserably.
"Am I possessed by the God of Misfortune today? Did Shi Wangyue come just to jinx me? I refuse to believe it, hey..."
He could hardly believe that he, who learned to play mahjong in kindergarten with his mom, would lose to Shi Wangyue, who just learned the rules this morning.
But soon, the dwindling stack of cash taught him a lesson.
During the Chinese New Year, cash is especially useful.
Ming Jinxin had exchanged a lot of brand new consecutive bills from the bank in advance and kept them at home.
Playing mahjong at home on the Day of Welcoming the God of Wealth.
She thought it was necessary for everyone at home to enjoy the auspiciousness of money, so she gave the four young masters a thick stack of cash each to play with.
Ming was generous; she gave the money away without blinking an eye.
How could the young masters want her money? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
They all expressed their intention to transfer the money back to her.
She said, "Consider it your New Year’s red envelopes, just for good luck. I wish you a prosperous New Year."
Fortune must not be refused.
The four young masters didn’t mention transferring the money again.
"Today is really strange!" Yet, Zhao Sui still felt extremely uncomfortable with losing, "No matter how good my skills are, I can’t withstand several rounds of shooting."
He originally came today to make money and get some luck.
Never did he expect to be crushed by a newbie like Shi Wangyue.
The disparity between expectation and reality was too great for him to accept.
"I’m also unlucky, okay?" Sitting next to him, Zhou Tang was sweating despite the cold winter.
He felt like he was witnessing a ghost today!
Whenever he made a move, it was wrong; whatever he needed never came.
Clearly, the game started well, but it didn’t take long for things to take a turn for the worse, from smooth sailing to going against the wind.
"I’m off my game today, the cards are against me."
He felt dejected but had to force himself to find a way out.
"Thanks for letting me win." Shi Wangyue curled his lips, pushing the pile of cash he just won in front of Ning Youyu, who was sitting by him, watching him play seriously, "Little Fish, can you help me sort this out? When you’re done, the money I won today will be split between you and your sister."
Ning Youyu instantly widened his eyes in joy, "Really?!"
"Of course, can you do it?" Shi Wangyue asked with a smile.
The gentle tone conveyed a soothing feeling meant for a child.
"I can!" Ning Youyu immediately stood up from his stool, smiling from ear to ear as he helped Shi Wangyue organize the pile of cash he won.
"Little Fish, your brother Wangyue is just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, you know?" Zhao Sui was dead annoyed.
"’Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha’ is a phrase, I know."
Kids are adorable no matter what.
Using his chubby little hands, he neatly stacked the bills one by one, it was adorable.
Answering seriously but off-topic was adorable too.
Zhao Sui, who had been feeling down, suddenly felt much better.
"Wow, Little Fish even knows idioms." Zhou Tang chimed in nearby, "Where did you learn them from?"
"From the idiom dictionary." Ning Youyu answered seriously, "Saw it on the computer, I knew it since kindergarten."
"Then do you know what ’borrowing flowers to offer Buddha’ means?" Zhao Sui smiled and asked the boy again.
"Yes, it means borrowing someone else’s stuff to show generosity." Ning Youyu gave a precise answer.
This standard answer surprised the elder brothers present.
"Amazing, Little Fish has the potential to be a top student." Zhou Tang smiled, playing a one bamboo tile.
"That’s right." Ning Youyu paused his movements, earnestly telling Zhou Tang, "I will study very well in the future."
"How do you know you’ll study well in the future?" Zhao Sui continued teasing the boy. "What if you turn out to be a lousy student?"
"I just know!" Ning Youyu said while nodding, his voice growing louder, "Because my brother and sister are top students, I will be excellent in the future like them."
Ming Chao’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, "I’m thirsty, Little Fish, could you pour me a glass of water?"
"Brother, let someone else help you pour; I need to help Brother Wangyue organize the money." Ning Youyu continued seriously organizing the cash in hand.
He didn’t forget that organizing the money was the most important thing for him right now.
"Then I’ll let sister pour it, I’ll give all the money I win today to her." Ming Chao’s voice was laced with laughter.
Then, he turned to Ning Youguang, "You..."
Ning Youyu immediately became anxious and quickly interrupted him, "Brother, I’ll go pour the water for you!"
He then looked at Shi Wangyue, "Brother Wangyue, can I pour a glass of water for my brother first and come back later to organize?"
Shi Wangyue nodded gently, "Of course you can."
Ning Youyu happily ran off right away.
...
While Ning Youguang was doing acupressure and acupuncture for Ning Yi, she inadvertently looked up and saw Shi Wangyue sitting at the card table. Surprisingly, she saw a bit of the meaning of "Sitting and watching the clouds rise at the end of all waters."
One must admit, children are really good-looking.
Actually, all the young people present were good-looking, not to mention Ming Chao’s handsome and charismatic appearance. Even Zhou Tang, the top idol in China’s entertainment circle, with a top-notch appearance. And then there’s Zhao Sui, though not as handsome as Zhou Tang and Ming Chao when viewed alone, he’s still upright and heroic. Among the second generation in Beijing, he absolutely counts as a young master with both wealth and looks.
But Ning’s Teacher was partial; at this moment, her eyes could only hold the picturesque eyebrows and clear, elegant face of Shi Wangyue.
After inserting the last acupuncture needle in Ning Yi’s neck, she chuckled as she walked over to his side to watch him play cards.
Seeing her arrive, Shi Wangyue instantly put on a smile.
"These are for you and Little Fish to split evenly, he went off to earn some extra pocket money, didn’t finish organizing, you help share the load a bit."
"Little money grubber." Ning Youguang smiled and started organizing the slightly chaotic pile of cash in front of her.
Counting money, she was more than happy to oblige.
To say she’s grown this big, it was the first time she experienced counting money at the card table until her hands felt tired.
The boyfriend is really reliable!
She exchanged a knowing look with Shi Wangyue, her eyebrows curved happily.
Shi Wangyue understood her look, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
They hadn’t said a word.
But no one around could ignore the warmth and love flowing between them.
Jeez!
Zhou Tang and Zhao Sui exchanged a glance.
Why were they so insensible, coming here to be tormented during the New Year?!
Then, they both looked at Ming Chao with dissatisfaction.
Ming Chao, as steady as Mount Tai, calmly discarded a three dot tile.
"I won." Zhou Tang exhaled a long breath, his eyes revealing a smile, looking at Ming Chao without any dissatisfaction, even with a hint of gratitude.
Zhao Sui glared at him like he was looking at an idiot, then continued shuffling and drawing tiles.
Among those present.
Except for Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang, who, as a couple, didn’t know Zhou Tang well due to limited interaction.
The rest were well aware of Zhou Tang; his card skills are poor, yet he loves to show off, likes making unconventional moves, and has a tendency to mess around.
In previous games, although he occasionally won a few rounds, if the game lasted a bit longer, he often ended up as the bottom player. 1314
