Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Beat Up Every Time They Meet?
“Who else could Bai Yaning be but Bai Yaning?” she indeed had seen the world. She stood up, smiled faintly, and reached out her hand first, “Hello, it’s nice to meet you for the first time. Please take care of me.”
No, don’t shake that hand! Brother Fei, can’t you just see her as a woman!
Sure enough, Brother Fei didn’t let Wang Hao down, “Oh, hello, hello, truly a big star, look at how soft this hand is…”
Then Wang Hao saw Bai Yaning shudder from head to toe—Brother Fei didn’t just shake her hand, he grabbed it with both of his, and not only did he grab it, he rubbed it…
We’re going to die, we’re going to die!
You absolutely can’t let her take advantage of our big star!
...
“Uh, that’s enough,” Wang Hao mustered his courage to pry Wang Mengfei’s hand away, “Don’t scare her…”

This guy was definitely not simple; you can’t let her take advantage!
“Alright, for your sake,” Wang Mengfei let go, then looked at Zhao Zhenhao, “Little Haohao, it’s been two years since we last met, how have you been recently?”
This is definitely gossip!
Wang Hao saw everyone nearby perk their ears up, the fire of gossip burning bright in their eyes.
“I’ve been alright,” Zhao Zhenhao’s forehead started to sweat, “You’ve been okay too, right? Let me just say, this is a formal occasion, not a taekwondo club, we’re here to eat, not to fight!”
Wang Hao was instantly stunned—looks like their relationship was very complex! Oh gossip fire, heaven help us!
Wang Mengfei chuckled and shrugged, “Don’t worry, I’ll take some care of your image.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” after all, coming from a prominent family, Zhao Zhenhao quickly changed the subject and looked at Ren Xing with a smile, “May I ask how to address this brother?”
“Ren Xing,” Ren Xing replied with a grin, “Wang Hao’s childhood friend. I heard he was eating here so I thought I’d come and see. My apologies for any disturbances.” And then his beady eyes started to glance over at Bai Yaning…
At first look, one could tell that he was Bai Yaning’s superfan. Zhao Zhenhao didn’t call him out but hurriedly smoothed things over, “Come, come, it’s more fun with more people. Everyone sit down, let’s play some cards to relax.”
“Poker, huh? I can do that,” speaking of which, it wasn’t clear what relationship Brother Fei and Zhao Zhenhao had, but she didn’t consider herself an outsider, “Count me in, count me in.”
“Everyone’s included, everyone’s included,” Zhao Zhenhao broke into a sweat and quickly nodded in agreement, “Come, come, sit down quickly.”
Wang Hao’s curiosity was through the roof!
These two definitely had a story!
Even Bai Yaning sneaked a poke at Wang Hao and whispered, “This friend of yours, does he know Zhao Zhenhao?”
“I’m not sure either,” Wang Hao murmured back, “I’ll ask for you.”
He discreetly nudged Wang Mengfei, “Do you know Mr. Zhao?”
“Yeah,” Wang Mengfei looked at Wang Hao as if he were an idiot, “Can’t you see? This guy used to provoke me in the taekwondo club. Since then, I’ve beaten him up every time I saw him. It’s normal for him to have a psychological shadow.”
Wang Hao: “…”
Bai Yaning: “…”
The rest of the onlookers: “…”
No, it’s NOT normal, okay?! You’ve beaten up this badass Mr. Zhao every time you’ve met?!
“Ah, it’s all in the past now. It’s a joy to have friends from afar,” Zhao Zhenhao decided to let loose, “Let’s not talk about that. The Asian Gambling Saint is here, let’s relax. Shall we play a round?”
Of course, no one objected to this suggestion, so everyone quickly sat down.
Finally, it was the Asian Gambling Saint’s time to perform. He coolly spun the deck of cards on the outside of the box, skillfully tore off the plastic wrapping, and took out a pack of cards. After shuffling them swiftly, he said with a smile, “These cards, to me, are like living sprites. Whatever card I want them to turn up, they’ll turn up.” After shuffling the cards three times, he turned to Wang Hao and asked with a smile, “Mr. Wang, what card would you like?”
Is he asking me to pick a card? Wang Hao immediately called out, “The Joker!”
“All right, big king,” the Asian Gambling Saint casually pulled a card from the deck, “That’s the right one, right?” Everyone looked, and indeed, it was the big king!
At this moment, Zhao Zhenhao quickly took the opportunity and chimed in, “Miss Yaning, would you pick one too?”
“Okay,” Bai Yaning thought for a moment and said, “Nine of Spades.”
“Nine of Spades…” The Asian Gambling Saint reached out and, sure enough, picked the Nine of Spades!
“Me too, me too,” Wang Mengfei called out, “Two of Hearts!” Hmm, that number suits you pretty well, Brother Fei!
“Okay, no problem!” The Asian Gambling Saint drew another card, and it was the Two of Hearts!
“Indeed impressive!” Wang Hao’s eyes widened, “So does that mean if I were playing cards with you, you could just pick any card you want?”
“Yes,” the Asian Gambling Saint nodded, “Actually, these are all little tricks, good for a bit of fun and to liven things up, but it would be somewhat indecent to use them to try to win money.”
Looks like this guy knows his limits, gotta give him a thumbs-up for that.
The Asian Gambling Saint sighed and said, “Nine out of ten gambles are deceitful, ah, you know about Jinhua, right?”
“Heard of it, what about it?” Wang Hao asked, “Was that also done with a trick?”
“Yes,” the Asian Gambling Saint replied, “That was the most ruthless instance I’d ever seen. Before, everyone was playing fairly normally, with wins and losses. But when it came to the last hand that would decide everything, one person had three Kings, which you could nearly guarantee would win. He had won quite a bit before, but then he kept calling until it came to the showdown, and his opponent had three Aces. Just on that one hand, he lost six billion.”
Holy moly! That’s a brutal loss!
“Sad, but not pitiable,” Bai Yaning shook her head slightly, “It’s all due to greed.” At this point, Bai Yaning suddenly remembered the time she offered Wang Hao a car. This Wang Hao wasn’t greedy, and it was because of this that she was willing to consider him a friend.
“Yes, for gambling, greed is the original sin,” the Asian Gambling Saint said with a smile, “So today, let’s just play for fun, no money involved, just for happiness, how about that?”
Hehe, of course it’s best not to use money—if we used money, I could only watch…
“Sounds good, how shall we play?” Wang Hao asked, “With so many people, Jinhua?”
“Let’s play Jinhua,” the Asian Gambling Saint smiled, “But for fun’s sake, we should still have some stakes. How about we use sticky notes instead? Of course, the three ladies are goddesses, so they don’t need to participate, okay?” You counted one extra, comrade, it’s clearly two…
“I’ll participate too,” as expected, Wang Mengfei did not disappoint Wang Hao, speaking loudly, “Miss Ice Princess doesn’t need to, right?” Then she turned to ask Zhao Zhenhao, “Right, Little Haohao?”
You two definitely have something fishy going on!
“That’s perfectly fine,” Zhao Zhenhao had the heart to cry, but quickly agreed on the side, “However, it’s hard to keep track with sticky notes in Jinhua. So, I’ll give everyone ten thousand cash as base money. Lose it and you stick a note, how about that?”
Great idea, since it’s not my own money anyway. In essence, this ten thousand is just to keep the math simple.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zhenhao immediately clapped his hands, and soon a waiter brought a tray of RMB, all new hundred-yuan banknotes, neatly stacked.
“Come, come, come, one share each,” Zhao Zhenhao distributed the money, “It’s all in good fun, remember to return it after we play!”
“Haha, Mr. Zhao could hardly care about these thousands,” the Asian Gambling Saint let out a laugh, taking the first stack, “Come on, I’m getting impatient, let’s start! The bottom stake is five hundred, each round must raise at least a hundred, and one loses ten thousand, stick a note.”
After all, gambling was just part of the fun in such an atmosphere, so everyone was relaxed; they each took a stack of money and started to play.
The rules of Jinhua are simple: each person has three cards, the highest being three of the same card—or ‘leopard’—with triple Aces as the strongest. Straight flush comes next with QKA being the highest. Then it is flush, straight, pair, and high card.
The waiter, who had been waiting on the side, started to deal the cards.
Zhao Zhenhao first placed the bottom stake of five hundred, and then everyone followed for one round.
Since nobody was trying to win big, everyone was very relaxed, laughing and firing away for three rounds.
