My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Chapter 257: This Feels Amazing!

"Exactly, I thought it was strange too. Third Elder Sister-in-law, you should be upset or jealous over the situation but you didn't react at all." Lil Seven who was standing by the side could not resist the desire to comment since he was genuinely baffled.

This fifteen-year-old teenager was overly protected by his family. Besides, due to health conditions, he was not given much opportunity to make contact with other people or experience new things since young. That explained the reason for his naturally innocent personality.

"Young boy, it's understandable that you're confused. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. Third Elder Sister-in-law's heart is an even more profound mystery," Xi Ji commented later as if trying to create more trouble.

The men started discussing the incident that happened earlier. Ye Lanchen who was already frustrated by Chu Wuyou's response became more aggravated by his brother's comment.

Where was her heart then? With Tang Boqian?

His eyes darkened within seconds. He grabbed the wine glass nearest to him and took a huge sip of its content. The wine, which was Leng Jue's specialty, tasted mild at first but a violent aftertaste would grow in one's throat slightly after.

The men were waiting for Second Young Master Zhuo to arrive. He failed to show up on time due to work reasons but he should be arriving anytime. The wine that Ye Lanchen just drank was actually brought over by the waiter for Second Young Master Zhuo.

"Get your act together and treat the game seriously." Tang Ling glanced at Ye Lanchen before hushing the others.

However, the words that came out of his mouth sounded as if he was defending Chu Wuyou.

"Red Dragon[1]." Fifth Young Master Shen dared not comment further upon noticing his Third Elder Brother drinking to drown his sorrow. He drew a Red Dragon playing piece and discarded it on the floor[2] without much consideration.

"I win. Thirteen Orphans[3]. 88 grade[4]. Fifth Young Master Shen, do the math." Chu Wuyou had been waiting for this opportunity. A smile spread across her face as soon as he discarded this particular piece.

"Third Elder Sister-in-law, can I pay you next time?" Fifth Young Master Shen felt sorry for himself. They were betting with large amounts to begin with, and Thirteen Orphans was considered one of the major winning hands. He had been playing mahjong all his life yet this was the first time he encountered this winning hand.

"Nope," she replied without hesitation, leaving no room for further discussion.

Fifth Young Master Shen suddenly remembered that sentence that Chu Wuyou said earlier when she was in the other private room. She mentioned that she never bears a grudge because she always took revenge right there and then.

Indeed, revenge happened almost immediately. He had only teased her a little; must she really be so mean?

Terrifying woman.

Fifth Young Master Shen twitched the corners of his lips as he looked at the pitiable amount of RMB he had left after paying the woman.

He lost almost everything in one game, including his capital and winnings gained from the earlier rounds. All the efforts spent through the evening were gone within seconds.

Besides, he could not shake the feeling that this was only the beginning. He suddenly had an ominous premonition that he would suffer terribly after this.

His inkling was proven to be right. Chu Wuyou defeated him each time after that as if it was all fated.

"Third Elder Sister-in-law, you must be cheating." Xi Ji felt a shiver running down his spine.

"Yup. You better watch out." Chu Wuyou threw a seemingly casual glance in Xi Ji's direction but the simple gaze frightened him out of his wits. Was she planning to "attack" him next?

He had joined in the fun to tease her earlier, hence he figured Third Elder Sister-in-law would not let him off the hook either.

By now, he already understood perfectly that this merciless woman never forgets to take revenge.

He had a sudden premonition of danger.
