Zhen Xi, who noticed this, narrowed his eyes and looked at her, “What did you guys do when you went back?”
“Nothing, they just changed clothes.” Zhen Tian subconsciously increased her volume, trying to fake confidence.
This made Zhen Xi even more suspicious. Something must have happened!
He walked over to Zhen Rui who had followed them to change clothes, “What happened between Chen Zui and Zhen Tian earlier?”
Zhen Rui obliviously asked, “What happened?”
“...” Why do they always answer a question with another question?! Moreover, it is the same question he asked!
“Forget it. Reflect on your mistakes. I’m going to watch them play cards.”
Zhen Rui, “....”
So, what happened between Zhen Tian and Chen Zui?
The job of grilling has been passed on to Ms. Wang Shuzhen. Zhen Rui followed behind Zhen Xi to watch the poker match.
A brand new deck of cards was provided by the villa. The eldest cousin opened the box in front of everyone, “Everyone has seen it. This is a new deck provided by the villa. Don’t blame us if you lose and accuse us of cheating later.”
“That’s right!” The second cousin echoed. Chen Zui sat opposite the two, waiting for them to shuffle the cards.
To prove their innocence, the two cousins handed the job of shuffling to Zhen Tian, “Cousin, hide one of the cards first.”
Zhen Tian took out a card and put it in her bag. Then she took the cards and simply shuffled them twice, "I’m done."
She put the playing cards in the middle of the table and asked, “Who will draw first?”
“Let’s start with Anchor Chen.” The eldest cousin said.
Chen Zui took the topmost card from the deck. Going in a clockwise direction, the next person to draw is the second cousin followed by the eldest.
In a short moment, the 51 cards are divided between the three.
The cards were first drawn in a clockwise direction, now they are playing in a clockwise direction. The eldest cousin first picked from the second cousin’s hand which happened to form a pair. Then the second cousin went to pick from Chen Zui’s hand.
The second cousin’s hand was really good. Initially, he had the fewest cards, and every time he drew a card, he would form a pair. In a few rounds, he cleared all the cards in his hand. After a few exchanges, Chen Zui and the eldest cousin figured out which card was the Old Maid.
Ace of Hearts.
Chen Zui looked at the Ace of Hearts he drew from the eldest cousin. He put his cards behind his back and shuffled them.
Now he has three cards in his hand and the eldest cousin only has two. If he draws a pair, the cousin will win.
At the most decisive moment of the game, Zhen Tian, affected by the situation of the game, became tense. Zhen Xi and Zhen Rui stood to the side and watched the game. However, they are watching on with joy.
“Who do you think will win?” Zhen Rui asked.
Zhen Xi said, "Of the three cards in Chen Zui's hand, two cards are needed by Wang Qin. The probability of winning is two-thirds."
The implication is that Wang Qin has a high chance of winning.
Chen Zui shuffled the cards in his hand and put them facedown on the table for Wang Qin to choose. Wang Qin pursed his lips. He originally wanted to judge the cards he would draw based on Chen Zui's expression, but now that he is not looking at the cards, his plan would not be easy to implement.
“I don’t know which card is which.” As if understanding what Wang Qin was thinking, Chen Zui said this before he pick a card.
Wang Qin clicked his tongue and picked the middle card.
Chen Zui raised the corners of his mouth as he watched him take the Ace of Hearts away.
“Damn.” Wang Qin looked at his cards and imitating Chen Zui, he put the cards behind his back and shuffled them.
Zhen Rui glanced at Zhen Xi beside him, “Your words are spot on.”
Zhen Xi, “....”
Now the situation has reversed. Wang Qin has three cards in his hand and Chen Zui has two. As long as he avoids the Old Maid, he will win.
Wang Qin shuffled his card and like Chen Zui, put the three cards on the table, “I also don’t know which card is which.”
Chen Zui didn’t think for too long and picked the middle card.
Six of spades.
Chen Zui threw out the six spades and the other card in his hand. He looked up at Wang Qin across from him, “The last card is for you.”
Wang Qin, “....”
He actually drew the Old Maid! That can’t be true!
Wang Lin was also surprised. What is wrong with Wang Qin today!
Chen Zui, “Why did you decide to have two people play against me? As long as one of you loses, I will win.”
Wang Qin and Wang Lin: "..."
Why didn’t you say so at the beginning?!
“This round doesn’t count. Let Wang Ling play against you one-on-one!” Wang Qin reluctantly threw out the ace of heart in his hand.
Zhen Tian was the first to voice her disapproval, “Cousin, don’t be a sore loser. You guys were the ones who chose to play Old Maid. The two of you volunteered to play against him together. A real man accepts defeat!”
Wang Qin, “....”
How wonderful!
Chen Zui smiled politely at him, “There are peaks and troughs in one’s fortune, Today, maybe you are on the trough while I am at the peak. That is because I have the goddess of luck on my side.”
Wang Qin was stunned for a moment. He followed his gaze to Zhen Tian.
“???” What does he mean? Want to show off in front of him after winning? He has a girlfriend too!
Naturally, Zhen Tian also understood who the "Goddess of Luck" he was talking about, and felt embarrassed at once. She took out the red ace from her bag and put it on the table. She took Chen Zui and left, "Let's go eat barbeque. If we don't go, Shanshan will eat everything!"
While they were playing, Shanshan could’ve been eating by the grill the entire time.
“Okay.” Chen Zui smiled and followed her to the grill.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen who was grilling meat, saw them coming and asked with a friendly smile, “How was it, did you win?”
Before Chen Zui could answer, Zhen Tian happily replied, “Senior won! Wang Qin was doubting his life!”
“Chen Zui’er is amazing! You can have these mutton skewers. I just grilled them.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen handed over a bunch of skewers to him. Lao Zhen looked at her eagerly, “Honey, where’s mine?”
“Yours? It’s still in the bag.”
Lao Zhen, “....”
So far, he had only eaten chicken wings and they were given by Chen Yiran!
“Auntie, let me do the grilling.” Chen Zui gave all the mutton skewers to Zhen Tian and picked up an oil brush.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen smiled brightly, “You should eat first.”
“It’s okay. You have been grilling for so long you should go rest a while.” Chen Zui smiled at her, “What do you want to eat? I will grill it for you.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s heart melted. She is smiling so hard at Chen Zui that her teeth could be seen but not her eyes. “I’ll eat whatever you cook, I’m not picky. Chen Zui’er is the most sensible. Look at those brats, they only know how to idle their time away.”
Chen Zui silently smiled. Chen Yiran could only scoff in his heart. His uncle really knows how to act!
Whether Chen Zui is acting or not, Ms. Wang Shuzhen was happy to be coaxed by him and Lao Zhen was also able to enjoy freshly grilled meat as he wished. It’s a win-win for everyone.
The whole family ate and drank at the seaside, and returned to the villa one after another, intending to take a rest. Chen Yiran takes an afternoon nap at school every day. After a full day of playing, he was sleepy and fell asleep directly on Chen Zui's body.
He was already cute, but he looks cuter when he is asleep. Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked at him, and her heart was full of maternal love, "Xiao Baobei is so cute. He doesn't make noise when he sleeps."
Chen Zui held him and lowered his voice, “He can be rowdy at times but he is obedient. If you say something to him, he will listen.”
“Zhen Xi was not obedient at all as a child. He will cry when you lecture him.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen complained about her son.
Zhen Xi, “??”
Why is he being put on blast? Zhen Tian was also disobedient as a child, why didn’t she say anything about her?
When the group reached the villa, Chen Zui carried Chen Yiran upstairs to rest. Zhen Tian yawned and followed him up, “I’ll also rest for a bit. Don’t make too much noise.”
“Go, go.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen waved to her, telling her to go upstairs quickly.
As soon as they left, a small meeting was held downstairs led by Ms. Wang Shuzhen.
“Didn’t I already explain it to you before we left, huh?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked at the young and old with a smile. Everyone pretended not to understand and looked elsewhere.
Pudding lay on the floor and let out a dazed whimper.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen sneered, “Chen Zui’er is Zhen Tian’s boyfriend. He is not a bad guy. What were you guys trying to do today? Barbeque, swimming, poker. I didn’t think the Zhen family’s company has a such comprehensive evaluation for their employees.”
“……”
Everyone remained silent.
“Zhen Tian finally found a boyfriend. Are you not afraid you will scare him away? Will you be happy if she can’t find a boyfriend for the rest of her life?”
When she said this, Lao Zhen couldn’t help but express his opinions, “Our Tiantian doesn’t have a boyfriend isn’t because she can’t find one but they are not worth her time.”
“Then do you think it is easy for her to find someone who is worth her time? It’s been twenty years and she finally has a Chen Zui’er. I’ll just leave it at that. I recognize Chen Zui’er as my son-in-law. If you scare him away, I will make you pay twice fold!”
“....” Zhen Xi coughed, “I think your words are biased. We didn’t make things difficult today! Clearly, he was the one who made things difficult for us”
“That’s right!” Zhen Rui and the two brothers from the Wang family nodded in unison. The direction today’s outing went was different from what they had imagined.
“Heh, it’s not that your skills are inferior to others. Our Chen Zui’er is just too excellent.”
“...” Although everyone scoffed at her attitude, Chen Zui did pass all their tests today.
Upstairs, Zhen Tian followed Chen Zui to send Chen Yiran to his room and quietly closed the door as they walked out, “I’m sorry. My brothers lost face today.”
Chen Zui smiled and patted her head, “It’s okay, they care about you too.”
Zhen Tian knew his tolerance toward her brothers was because they were her. Knowing how much he tolerated them meant how much he cares for and likes her.
“Thank you.” She stood on her tiptoes, leaned forward, and kissed Chen Zui on the lips.
