with a morbid excitement.The old man listened silently, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. “But your purpose is not just to avenge Mingjian, is it You also have your eyes on the wealth of their pala...The lights were dim, casting the man in a pool of warm yellow. He sat on the edge of the sofa like a king, elegant yet commanding. His long arms rested against the armrest, his expression placid, but his black eyes were as cold and deep as a winter lake.

He sat there, radiating a coldness that made one reluctant to approach.

Who called her here

A low, icy voice echoed through the room, breaking the silence. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say or do.

Under immense pressure, no one dared to speak.

After a long silence...

"Brother, it was Bai Xiyao who called my sister-in-law over, I had nothing to do with it." Huo Baizhou immediately sold out Bai Xiyao.

Bai Xiyao's brow twitched, almost leaping up to punch him, "You little..."

"It was I who asked him to tell the address. I'm coming here myself." Shen Ningran spoke calmly.

Bo Jin's eyes flashed, narrowing slightly. "Looking for me"

"Well, I found you. There's something I need to talk about." Shen Ningran's voice was clearly laced with anger.

Bo Jin Yu found it quite interesting. She extended two fingers and beckoned, "Come here."

Shen Ningran stood still.

Bo Jin's expression seemed good, but her voice was laced with sarcasm, "Aren't you here to find me Do you plan on talking from so far away"

"I want to talk to you privately."

The place was dimly lit and noisy. He even had two beautiful women sitting beside him, definitely not the right atmosphere for a conversation.

Bo Jin lowered his voice with a chuckle, withdrawing his gaze. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and pulled the woman beside him closer without looking at her again.

Aloof and heartless.

It was very clear he refused.

At this moment, all eyes in the box were fixed on them, filled with curiosity, surprise, and confusion.

Someone hesitantly asked, "Brother Bo, is she really...your sister-in-law"

Bo Jin Yu slowly exhaled a plume of smoke, "I don't know."

Don't know

Bai Xiyao and Huo Baizhou looked at each other.

BoGe, are you sure you want to play like this

Bo Jin's denial of knowing Shen Ningran changed the latter's situation in this private room slightly.

A drunken CEO noticed Shen Ningran as she entered. Thinking she was Bo Jinyu's woman, he dared not overstep his bounds.

But now that Bo Jin Yu said she doesn't recognize her, it's obvious that this woman is probably someone Bo Jin Yu played with and abandoned.

Since that's the case, his behavior instantly grew bolder. He reached out and grabbed Shen Ningran's arm, "Little beauty, since you're here, why not have a drink with me."

Shen Ning dodged the salty pig hand nimbly, her brow furrowed. "I don't drink."

"What are you putting on Everyone here drinks, don't tell me you're not a drinker. What, you looking down on me, refusing to drink with me" The boss sized Shen Ningran up and down.

Shen Ningran was dressed in a white professional suit today. The waist-cinching blazer accentuated her slender figure, and the white wide-leg pants made her legs look extra long and straight.

Her flawless features, simple yet elegant attire, and aloof demeanor exude an air of refined sophistication.

Even though she didn't reveal anything, she already outshone all the scantily clad beauties in the room.

Such a beautiful creature is rare to see. The boss looked at her, his face full of lewdness, wishing he could immediately bring her to justice on the spot.

Shen Ningran felt very uncomfortable facing such gazes.

Bo Jin Yu's face grew even more sinister as the CEO brazenly ogled Shen Ning Ran.

But he didn't speak, he was waiting. He wanted to see how long this woman would last in this den of wolves, without asking for his help.

Shen Ningran tightened her grip on her bag, her icy gaze fixed on the man who seemed oblivious to the situation. "I really have something important to discuss with you. What will it take for you to talk to me alone"

Bao Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, lifted a finger, and pointed to the bottle of wine on the table. She curled her lips at Shen Ning Ran, "As long as you can finish this bottle of wine, you can talk about anything."

Shen Ningran's delicate eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the bottle of freshly opened vodka on the table.

Vodka, with an alcohol content of around forty degrees.

Shen Ningran's brows furrowed even tighter, staring at the bottle of vodka. She couldn't drink.

Hu Bai Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to step forward and help Shen Ning Ran out of the predicament, but Bai Xi Yao pulled him back. Bai Xi Yao curled his lips into a smile and said softly, "It's just a little marital dispute between the two of them. We wouldn't be able to persuade them even if we went up."

"Will Bo Ge definitely not end up in a wife-burning cemetery"

Bai Xiyao hooked his shoulder on Huo Baizhou, grinning wickedly, "That's Bo Ge's business, when the time comes, he'll be the one crying. We just need to watch the show."

"Bai Xiyao, you are really a bad person."

……

Bo Jinyu raised an eyebrow, sitting on the sofa and staring at Shen Ningran with amusement. "Shen Ningran, my patience is limited."

"I can't drink alcohol."

"Reason"

She has one less kidney, so she can't drink hard liquor, let alone an entire bottle of vodka. Wouldn't that kill her

Shen Ningran's gaze swept around, landing on the card table beside her. Her eyes fixed on Bo Jin yu. "Let's play a round," she said. "If I win, you have a private conversation with me. If you win, I'll drink this bottle of wine."

Want to play cards

To dare to put forward such a request in front of Bo Jinyu takes real courage.

To know that Bo Jin Yu has never lost in this kind of game.

Many women in this situation would still be able to remain so calm, which immediately piqued these men's interest.

Bo Jin Yu smiled, her hawk-like eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth slowly rising.

He wants to see how long she can hold on.

Bo Jinyu didn't speak, which could be considered acquiescence, but he didn't join the card table and signaled for others to play with Shen Ningran.

Shen Ningran walked to the poker table and sat down. Several interested men sat in the remaining three positions, Bai Xiyao among them.

Bai Xiyao held a cigarette between his fingers, smiling playfully. "Sister-in-law, we're not going to let you win. Are you sure you still want to play Don't cry when you lose later."

"Don't call me sister-in-law, let's get started."

Knowing Shen Ningran had a temper, Bai Xiyao didn't say anything.

Bo Jin looked on silently, her face betraying no emotion. Only the air around her grew colder, sharper. She drained her cup in one gulp, even the act of setting it down imbued with a hint of hostility.

"So, let's get started. The bet is ten million. I won't take it easy on you. Best of three. How about it"

"Hmm."

Shen Ningran lowered her eyes calmly, arranging the cards in her hand. A crowd of people gathered around curiously.

These people were seasoned gamblers, and Shen Ningran was in their eyes like a lamb to the slaughter.

Everyone's card plays were nonchalant, clearly not taking Shen Ningran seriously at all.

But the fact is, Shen Ningran even made several mistakes in her cards. In the first game, she lost miserably.

Bai Xiyao saw Shen Ningran's cards and burst into laughter, "Miss Shen, are you not good at this"

Shen Ningran didn't appear flustered. She held a card, recalling the order and techniques they had used when playing cards earlier. "Hmm, the second time playing."ed his eyes, a sarcastic sneer curling his lips, "Do you even believe what you're saying"I'm not lying, there will be a palace banquet in two days. Someone who looks exactly like me will appear at the...
