Chapter 50 You can play as much as you want, but if you lose, it’s mine.

Miss Qin's birthday party was unusual in style. She wanted it to be lively, so guests came one after another. In addition to those who were invited, some people brought their friends without permission. The young lady was simple and easy to talk to, so she didn't care about these things.

The banquet was not to begin until dark, but the place was already bustling with melodious piano music as accompaniment. Everyone kept chatting with acquaintances. Qin Fang, as the "person in charge" chosen by the eldest lady, had to show up early.

Fu Songzhi arrived a little later, brought a glass of champagne, and the first thing he asked was Pei Yu, "Brother Pei hasn't arrived yet?"

"Not yet," Qin Fang shook his phone, "soon."

Everyone fell silent at the same time, somewhat puzzled. It was obvious who the "Brother Pei" these two people were talking about. Miss Qin was so influential that she could even invite Pei Yu to her private birthday party.

Next to him, a man with a rose on his chest came up and asked in surprise, "Brother Pei is here too?"

Qin Fang glanced at him and found his face familiar. He was the youngest son of Wanke Electronics, a second-generation rich man. He smiled faintly, but his eyes were contemptuous, "You also call him Pei Ge'er?"

The man was stunned by the look and felt uneasy. His friend beside him tried to smooth things over and pleaded for him, "Don't mind, Mr. Qin. He is drunk and talking nonsense. His words are out of context."

Qin Fang smiled again, looking very tolerant, "You can't call him Young Master Qin, just call him Mr. Qin."

The man nodded repeatedly, his expression fell. Before they came, their parents told them to be smart and scan their faces more often. This time they did scan their faces, but it had the opposite effect.

Qin Fang was disdainful of arguing with them. He lowered his head to look at his phone, silently counting down a few numbers, put away the phone, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and called Fu Songzhi, "Let's go, our Pei brother is here."

The banquet hall was covered with roses of various colors starting from the carved columns at the entrance. They must have been airlifted in early in the morning. The petals were fresh and beautiful. The gift boxes at the door were piled up like a wall. For people like them, even if it was just a birthday party, there were relatives and strangers. Gifts from unfamiliar friends would not catch Miss Qin's eye and could only serve as decoration here.

The carpet in the hall was thick, and Shen Zhiyi didn't step firmly, so her heels swayed. Pei Yu noticed it and helped her stand steadily, "Are you hurt?"

The two of them were standing right at the entrance to the hall, attracting quite a lot of attention. Even Shen Zhiyi, who was used to being stared at, felt uncomfortable. She shook her head, her hair swaying as she moved. "No."

"Brother Pei!"

The timing was extremely precise. As soon as Pei Yu entered the venue, Qin Fang came to greet him. He only called Fu Songzhi, but there were more than a dozen people following him inconspicuously. They all came for Pei Yu as he was afraid of neglecting him, but they were stunned when they saw the people, feeling surprised and confused.

Pei Yu actually brought a female companion?

Those with good eyesight recognized Shen Zhiyi and were surprised but also understood something.

It turns out that the news that came out a while ago was true. It turns out that the little lover was Shen Zhiyi. However, the fact that he brought her to such an occasion was enough to show Pei Yu's attitude.

Not caring what others think, Pei Yu nodded calmly as a greeting to the two brothers, and casually said, "The carpet is too thick."

"Is it thick?" Qin Fang looked down and said without thinking, "I asked someone to withdraw."

He handed Shen Zhiyi a glass of juice with a smile, "Nice to meet you again, Miss Shen. Do you have any plans today?"

"No," Shen Zhiyi took the cup and greeted the two people.

A group of people walked into the hall. Everyone passing by looked at them sideways, not daring to disturb them. Qin Fang led the way in front, saying as he walked, "The private room is ready. If you don't like the noise here, go sit in the room for a while. Wait until my sister cuts the cake and then come out to show her support. That girl will definitely say that I lied to her if she can't see anyone."

Because it was Miss Qin's birthday party, all the participants were young people, most of whom had family contacts, and a few of them were quite familiar with Qin Fang. There were already a few people sitting in the box, and when they saw Pei Yu come in, they all stood up and greeted him. The identities of these people were more special, neither close nor distant. Shen Zhiyi noticed that they called Pei Yu "Mr. Pei".

Probably a childhood playmate.

Pei Yu nodded, sat down in the empty seat left by a few people, and glanced at the playing cards on the table, "Catch the black A?"

This was the way they often played. Fu Songzhi smiled and asked, "Who won?" Someone raised his hand and showed off the watch he won on his wrist. "Does Mr. Pei want to play?"

"That depends on what your bets are."

If there is no one this person likes, then naturally I am too lazy to play.

Everyone present was smart and quick-witted. The one who won the watch took out the photo on his phone and said, "Flawless emerald, 20 carats, I just took the photo. Is Mr. Pei interested?"

The person asking was Pei Yu, but his eyes were looking at Shen Zhiyi, as if he was guessing whether she was interested or not. Unfortunately, Shen Zhiyi lowered her head and no expression could be seen.

He was generous, and the others couldn't admit defeat. They showed their stakes, mostly jewellery. Those who didn't know would have thought that Shen Zhiyi wanted to play with them.

A glass of juice was almost empty. Shen Zhiyi peeled a candy bar and heard Pei Yu ask, "Do you want to play?"

She blinked, "Me? I don't want to play anymore. I've never played before and I'm afraid of losing."

Their game was simple, but the stakes were incredible, and she had nothing to lose.

Guessing what she was worried about, Pei Yu curled his lips and chuckled, "Go ahead and play, if you lose, it's mine."

That's not okay.

Shen Zhiyi looked up at him and said, "I still like to win. Come on."

"Think I can win?"

Pei Yu took the poker cards from the table and asked, "Are you bored?"

"It's okay, just watch you guys play," Shen Zhiyi bit the candy and spoke a little vaguely. He had no confidence in himself, but inexplicably trusted him, and whispered, "I think you can win."

Pei Yu really smiled this time and raised his eyebrows, "If you win, it's yours."

The two of them were talking as if no one was around, and everyone around was watching. Pei Yu's words and actions all showed that he was indulging the female companion next to him. He finally had a chance to show his favor, so he was naturally attentive.

In this game, winning is losing and losing is winning.

Several people were playing cards, Shen Zhiyi was sitting nearby and watching. Pei Yu had both black Aces in his hand, so the game became three to one. Shen Zhiyi didn't understand the rules very well, and Pei Yu explained them to her while they were playing. He didn't seem to be afraid of exposing his cards, which made Fu Songzhi, who was also in the game, laugh helplessly, "It would be too embarrassing if we could lose this game."

Whether it was embarrassing or not did not affect Pei Yu. The cards in his hand became fewer and fewer. He put down the last card lightly and took the "first place". The other three were caught and he lost all.

Fu Songzhi put down his cards and laughed angrily, "How can you lose this?"

"Don't default on your debt. Send all the bets to Hua Ting."

Shen Zhiyi was still pondering over this new way of playing. Pei Yu ignored the others and spread out the cards to explain to her in detail, "Want to play a round?"

I was a little tempted, but Shen Zhiyi had a request, "Then let's not place a bet."

Pei Yu smiled faintly, "No."

He even thought about what the bet was.
