“It’s because of bad luck.” Nian Junting felt humiliated, “Do you think I want to play the game now? I don’t. But if I quit the game, I’d look like a coward. I cannot let that happen. I have already lost my face, so I cannot lose my reputation too.”

Luosang sighed. While transferring money to his account, she complained saying, “I don’t know what you guys are thinking. He is a physicist and an astronomer. When you guys were still trying to solve Olympiad math problems, he was already calculating universe data. You’re displaying your slight skills before an expert. What gave you confidence? Your history of being a good student?”

Nian Junting stayed silent. He recalled telling her that morning, that that he was good at studying.

“Luo, I’m good to go. Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to earn my money back.”

Once the money arrived in his account, he left as quickly as possible.

…

The game wasn’t over until Sister Lan told everybody that dinner was ready.

Nian Junting, Xiao Si, and Mo Liuxi seemed to be relieved. Mo Liuxi usually didn’t care about losing money, but he had lost too much today.

“Junting, don’t ever invite me to play cards with this guy again, thank you,” said Xiao Si. He was even shambling when leaving. He had lost a lot.

Nian Junting’s face was as cold as ice. He gave Jiang Yuning a frosty glance, then walked away.

Jiang Yuning blinked, then turned to Nian Xi and said, “I think people don’t like me.”

“It’s okay. I like you.” Nian Xi really liked him at that moment.

How could such a smart person exist in this world? She was so lucky.

Jiang Yuning blushed. He hurriedly pushed the thick stack of money on the table toward her and said, “I won this money and I still have some in my WeChat account. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

“No.” Nian Xi quickly shook her head and said, “You won the money yourself. You should keep it.”

“But I won it for you,” said Jiang Yuning. “What can I do with all this money? Maybe I should give it back to the others.”

After saying that, he stood up. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, “Why? They never gave me a refund when they won money from me. Forget it, I’ll take the money. Wow. I haven’t held so much money since my Mom cut my allowance. I’m going shopping!”

Seeing her happy face, Jiang Yuning felt sweet in his heart.

It was the first time he saw her smile so brightly because of him. He felt as if he finally figured out what he could do for her.

“Thank you.” After spending a few seconds feeling thrilled, Nian Xi raised her head and said to him, “I’ve never won so much money. I always lose in card games, and my brother has always bullied me.”

“Why did he bully you?” Jiang Yuning didn’t understand. “Aren’t you his little sister?”

“Some brothers bully their little sisters for pleasure.” Nian Xi sighed.

“It’s okay. If he ever bullies you again, you can come to me,” said Jiang Yuning with a smile. “I won’t let anyone bully you.

If those words came out of someone else’s mouth, Nian Xi wouldn’t believe them. However, when Jiang Yuning said those words, Nian Xi felt touched and safe. He wasn’t exaggerating at all. She felt that she finally had someone to rely on. After all, Jiang Yuning was much smarter than her brother.

Facing Jiang Yuning, her brother had nothing to show off.

…

Before dinner, Jiang Yuning was still helping Nian Xi count the money instead of going to the dining room.

The other guests had sat down at the table. They all learned about what happened in the afternoon and felt deep pity for Nian Junting and the other two.

“It’s all right.” Mo Jin comforted the three of them. “You are all rich. You shouldn’t care about losing money.”
