Chapter 714: Promote His Buddy

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Zhen was seeing someone so proactive for the first time, suddenly raising his voice and openly shouting, “It seems like my classmate here is quite dissatisfied. Don’t embarrass me today. Let her know how capable men can be!”

His ambiguous words successfully stirred up the others.

Various ambiguous and teasing glances kept flickering between the two.

Mei Shu took it all in stride, her smile becoming more self-satisfied. “Okay, what should we play? Let’s play something you guys are good at.”

The several guys exchanged glances, grinning lecherously. “Let’s play poker, blackjack, how about that?”

Mei Shu had never played before. She innocently blinked and asked, “How do you play? Tell me.”

The guy who first struck up the conversation volunteered to sit beside her. “Beauty, I’m Kang Wei. Let me explain how this game is played.”

“Wait a minute.” Mei Shu looked at him curiously. “Kang Lan, who is he to you?”

Kang Wei hesitated for a moment and said, “He’s my uncle.”

Mei Shu nodded knowingly and then glanced at Li Zhen. “I didn’t expect you to be related to Mr. Kang.”

“He? He’s just a distant relative!” Someone interrupted, grabbing a bottle of liquor and pouring himself a drink. “He and Kang Lan are not familiar at all. It’s just because Mr. Kang’s company is named Kang Wei, so his family gave him the name Kang Wei, hoping to connect him with Kang Lan. But Mr. Kang is too high-minded to even notice this little rogue.”

“Mind your own business!” Kang Wei glared at him unhappily, shrugged off the hand on his shoulder, sounding somewhat annoyed. “Zhao Ping, stop looking down on people! My uncle promised me last month to let me join the company for training. I’m surnamed Kang anyway. Be careful how you talk to me in the future, or you’ll regret it!”

“Okay, so from now on, it’s Young Master Kang taking care of us.” Zhao Ping casually put his arm around Kang Wei’s shoulder, clearly portraying a buddy-buddy image.

Li Zhen said, “Enough, don’t get off track. Quickly explain the rules of the game, and I’ll ask the waiter to bring a deck of cards.”

After saying that, he got up and left, ignoring Mei Shu.

As soon as he left, Mei Shu was immediately surrounded by Kang Wei and Zhao Ping.

“Hey, beauty, are you and Li Zhen really just classmates? Our buddy Li never brings girls to hang out! Tell us properly, what’s the real relationship between you two?”

With that, Zhao Ping successfully drew everyone’s attention.

Even those who were busy chatting with their friends turned their curious gazes over.

Mei Shu said helplessly, “We really are just classmates. I have a boyfriend.”

” What? Who’s your boyfriend? Maybe we know him too!” Zhao Ping immediately started to provoke.

To be honest, he really liked girls like Mei Shu, impeccable in appearance and figure. She could captivate people without makeup, much more appealing than those heavily made-up girls.

He had intended to test the relationship between her and Li Zhen. If they couldn’t develop into a couple, he would make his move!

But unexpectedly, she already had a boyfriend?

Seeing through his buddy’s intentions, Kang Wei came up with an idea. “Is your boyfriend someone in our circle? A girl as beautiful as you, if you casually pick a boyfriend, wouldn’t it be a waste? How about you break up with your boyfriend and try with my brother here!”

The thought of how Lu Si would react to these words made Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh. “Forgive me for being frank, but all of you here together are not as good as my boyfriend.”

Kang Wei, who always held himself in high regard, couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied. “Sister, when choosing a partner, you must keep your eyes open and broaden your horizons. You shouldn’t just think that whoever you see first is the best. My brother is rich and loyal. Many people want to date him, but he doesn’t fancy any of them. Why don’t you exchange contact information first, giving each other a chance to get to know one another!”

Unexpectedly, this guy was quite persuasive.

But Mei Shu still refused, “No need, my boyfriend is really good. If you meet him, you’ll also think so.”

Kang Wei suddenly felt bored, so he put his arm around the beautiful woman next to him and said, “Okay, okay, if you don’t know what’s good foryou, then don’t blame us for showing no mercy to you in the card playing game later!”

Mei Shu smiled innocently, “Okay, feel free to come at me.”

Feeling disappointed, Zhao Ping’s mind raced faster than Kang Wei’s. He held up his glass, grinned, and said, “Alright, forget about what he said. I really didn’t mean it. Let’s just get to know each other as friends. Let me explain the rules of the game to you first.”

The rules of blackjack were very simple. Each player would receive three cards at the beginning. If the total value of the three cards was less than twenty-one, the dealer could continue dealing cards until the player’s total value was close to or reached twenty-one. Then, the players would reveal their cards, and the one with the highest total value would win.
