Chapter 837 — Having No Choice but to Concede
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Zhen Yingjun took the money and handed it straight to Shen Yushu. "Here is your money. I concede. But do not let me find out you were cheating, or else—hmph, hmph!"
Zhen Yingjun did not say the threat outright, but he was already seething. He had no intention of letting Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu off easily, yet in front of the crowd he could not say so openly, and could only strike in secret.
Having paid, Zhen Yingjun had no face to remain in the billiard hall either. Seeing the mockery on everyone's faces, a surge of fury rose in his heart. He strode quickly over to the beverage counter, casually pulled a bottle from the cooler, opened it, and gulped it all down; it cooled his temper somewhat. He did not even pay for it, and turning on his heel went straight out of the entertainment center through the side door by the billiard hall!
He felt stifled inside and wanted to get out for some fresh air; staying any longer would leave him thoroughly uncomfortable! Because losing the match had cost him face, he did not ask Zou Ruoguang to accompany him, but went out of the billiard hall alone.
Shen Yushu did not actually care about the twenty thousand yuan. If she cared about money, she would not have ignored the game tokens that had come spewing out of the gambling machines in the arcade earlier. She only cared about the thrill of winning the match!
"Who would have thought that I, Genius Shu, am so formidable at everything I do!" Shen Yushu stuffed the twenty thousand yuan straight into Wei Zhao's hands and said, "No more playing, no more playing. It is no fun at all—nothing is a challenge for me. I am hungry. Let us go home and eat!"
"Heh…" Wei Zhao casually took the money and followed behind Shen Yushu and the eldest young lady toward the side door of the billiard hall as well. Going out by the side door led straight out of the entertainment center, so there was no need to pass through the arcade again.
"What Genius Shu? It was only Wei Zhao's help," Gu Mengyao said. Though she did not know how Wei Zhao had pulled it off, she knew this business had surely been his doing—nine parts out of ten certain.
"Oh, I know. Arrow-Brand Brother is by my side, and after he grants me power, I become Genius Shu!" Shen Yushu said carelessly.
"…" Gu Mengyao was rather speechless. She thought to herself, how is it that Xiaoshu seems even more conceited than Zhen Yingjun? And this is supposed to be Genius Shu?
Zhen Yingjun came out of the billiard hall and immediately ran into an old woman who collected refuse. She was disabled from the aftereffects of a stroke—not only was her mouth crooked, but one of her feet was not very nimble. At this moment she was laboriously holding a woven plastic sack, picking up mineral water bottles and drink cans.
"Young man, could you let me have that drink bottle of yours?" the old woman asked, stepping forward when she saw Zhen Yingjun come out of the billiards hall with an empty bottle in his hand. As a rule, people handed her their empty bottles readily enough; after all, finding a trash bin was a nuisance, and giving them to her was as good as a good deed.
But Zhen Yingjun was in a foul temper just then, and a half-paralyzed old woman shuffling up to him out of nowhere gave him a start; on top of that, she wanted to snatch the bottle from his hand. Zhen Yingjun flew into a rage and kicked at the woven plastic bag in her hand.
