nChapter 311: This Doesn’t Make sense
nAfter blocking the door and windows, Xue Fanxin and the others lived an ‘isolated’ life in the stone house. They had enough food, so it was not a problem for them to survive for three to five months. They comfortably lived in the stone house, eating, drinking, sleeping, and having fun.
nXue Fanxin took out a deck of poker cards and taught everyone how to play Fight the Landlord as entertainment when they were bored.
n
n
nIn the beginning, a certain lord looked very disdainful, but later on, when he saw everyone playing so happily, he couldn’t help but join in. In the end, he beat everyone until they were utterly defeated and miserable.
n“This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense at all. I was the one who taught you how to play Fight the Landlord. Why did I lose?” Xue Fanxin looked at the smiling Ye Jiushang. She felt that this guy was definitely not human.
nHow could anyone be so lucky? He had good cards every time, and often, he would have both jokers and bombs. There were times when they would be hit with his bombs before they even had the chance to put down their cards.
nThe loser would be drawn on the face by the winner. Look at her face. It had already been painted black. It was obvious how badly she had lost.
n
n
nZhuri, Fuyun, Gu Jinyuan, Ah Wei, and others also suffered the same fate. Even Little Lei was no exception. Everyone had been beaten by Ye Jiushang.
nIn the beginning, Little Lei was quite interested in Fight the Landlord. He was especially arrogant when he won, but ever since Ye Jiushang joined, he never won again. He had lost so much that he did not dare to fight with Ye Jiushang anymore.
n“Wuwuwu… I lost again. Master, I’m not playing with you anymore.”
n
n
nLittle Lei was not alone in thinking that; everyone else also had the same thought. They really did not want to play with Ye Jiushang. The feeling of losing was really depressing!
n“You can even lose such a simple game. Sigh… I’m really lonely at the top!” Ye Jiushang had been opening up to everyone. Under Xue Fanxin’s influence, he had become much more humorous. At the very least, he no longer had a cold expression. He would often joke around, and his aloof aura was also gone. Sometimes, he made people feel quite amiable.
nAll of Ye Jiushang’s changes were because of Xue Fanxin.
nGu Jinyuan saw all of this and was even more clear-minded. He was over Xue Fanxin. However, he, the dignified Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, had his face painted black. If this matter were to spread, wouldn’t he lose his reputation?
nBut what could he do? He was the one who had lost.
n“I’m not playing. You always win. We’re always the ones who lose. How boring.” Xue Fanxin threw away the cards in her hand. She did not have the courage to play cards with Ye Jiushang anymore, as she would lose miserably.
n
n
n“I won’t play either.” Little Lei also threw away the remaining cards in his hand. He secretly decided that he would never play cards with a certain lord again.
nGu Jinyuan followed their example. He wanted to throw them away as soon as possible, but he had to pretend to be serious. He changed the topic in an attempt to hide his guilt. “The wind has already been blowing for four days. Why hasn’t it stopped?”
nThese winds would at most last three days. No matter what, it would not exceed three days. But this time, it had already been four days. There were still no signs of it stopping.
nIf this continued, many people from the four great families would starve to death. After all, they did not have as much food as them.
n“The wind will stop tomorrow.” Ye Jiushang played with an ace in his hand and had a faint mysterious smile on his face. Although he was speaking casually, his tone carried an affirmation.
nHe was certain that the wind would stop tomorrow.
