Meeting is doomed, falling in love is doomed

Chapter 20

Hidden cards are not easy to play. It requires not only superb card skills, but also excellent memory.

When the cards are played, the table is usually silent, and everyone is so busy memorizing the cards that there is no time for distracted speech.Even so, it is inevitable that the average master will occasionally misremember one or two cards.

The four people who got together to compete today are all masters with outstanding poker skills.Among the four of them, Lao Guan and Mu Mu remained silent all the time, and they devoted themselves to counting cards and counting cards without any other distractions; Gu Chen and Xu Tong were never quiet. The interest is so strong that it seems that the conversation is extremely speculative.During the conversation, neither of them delayed the speed of drawing and playing cards.

Gu Chen played a card, "Three of a Kind." He didn't look at Xu Tong, but asked casually, "Yaoyao, did you lie to me?"

Xu Tong yelled: "Touch!" Stretching his arms, he went to him and picked up the card he had played just now, and placed it on his side. The other fingers of his left hand were slightly raised, and the middle finger tip moved quickly from right to left on the row of cards. Swipe, suddenly stop on one of the cards, twist it out and bring it into the palm of your hand, swipe your thumb lightly, after confirming that you want to play the card, slap your own card on the table, and call out: " Whiteboard!" Then he looked at Gu Chen, and answered him with questions, "I said no, would you believe it?"

Lao Guan was about to grab a card, but Gu Chen stopped his movement and said softly: "I'm bar!" He picked up the card from Xu Tong and said with a smile: "I'll ask you a few questions, if you can do it well Well done, I will believe it!" After a pause, he asked the first question, "You told me that night that your mother died, are you lying to me?"

Mu Mu didn't know what the two were talking about, he couldn't hear it clearly; he didn't want to be disturbed by their conversation, so he calmed down, drew cards by himself, secretly calculated and memorized them, and played them out.

It's Xu Tong's turn.While keeping her hands on, she calmly smiled and said jokingly, "I guess, Young Master Gu knows the answer to this question, but he still asks me without shame, which shows that Young Master Gu is a real gentleman; I think this On the question, I didn’t lie to you. My mother did die of cancer. It’s just not recently. It was when I was in high school. I told you that day, my mother couldn’t take it anymore, she left, and she left me alone; but I didn't say when - maybe it's now, maybe it's before, so it shouldn't be considered that I'm lying to you!" She smiled all the way, her voice was clear, her expression was charming, and her tone was leisurely.It seemed that she was talking about the most ordinary thing, but after careful savoring, it was not difficult to find that there were many lonely thoughts hidden deep in her voice.

Gu Chen looked at her, his eyes were dim and dim, and his emotions and anger did not show on his face.After a while, he smiled and decided to accept her answer without thinking too much about it.His subordinates kept moving, and the question continued, "You said Yaoyao is your nickname, and Xu Tong is your real name. Do you really have the nickname Yaoyao?"

Xu Tong's mind was racing, taking into account both the game and the problem.

"Everyone in the old street knows that my mother kept calling me Shake when she was alive. But it's not the Yao next to the word Wang, it's Shake. You may not believe it even more. I cried a lot when I was young, and someone had to hug me non-stop. Shaking and shaking, I can hold back my tears. My mother said I was a little grinder, and gave me the nickname "Yao Yao."

She remembered that when her mother called her to shake, her face was full of love and pampering for her, her heart warmed up unconsciously, and the smile on her face began to become sweet.Suddenly remembering that her mother was already gone, and that she would never see her smiling kindly at him again, she couldn't help feeling sad, her eyebrows tightened for a moment, and although the smile was still barely hanging on her face, her expression became more and more depressed.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, and withdrew his eyes from her face.

This girl was full of tricks, so cunning that she didn't seem to be in her early twenties, and after looking at it, he was afraid that he would fall into her bitter ways again.

He remained calm and asked the next question, "You call yourself an abandoned daughter."

Xu Tong couldn't help but screamed, "Ha! Young Master Gu, I don't think I need to answer this question; I don't believe you don't know the relationship between me and Zhang Zhentong now; if you do know, then you should agree with me ——I said that I am an abandoned daughter, it is absolutely true!"

"But I heard that Mr. Zhang Wannian doesn't want to abandon you." He took the time to reply.

Xu Tong used a little force to play the card, and the crisp "pop" showed the deep disdain and anger in her heart at the moment.

Mu Mu flinched in shock, and screamed tremblingly: "I, I, I decided to touch! Hitomi... Sister Tong, the card... please give me... okay..."

Xu Tong picked up the cards and threw them to him.

She sneered and said, "Oh! Someone originally raised a puppy, and one day he suddenly got a new one, so he lost the original one; a few years later, he had a seizure and wanted to get back the original dog. What do you think, Young Master Gu?" Isn’t this ridiculous? That abandoned dog has been living on its own for many years. When it’s sick, hungry, cold, sad, and about to die, what is that person doing? I am happy to throw it away if I want it, don't I have to consider the puppy's feelings? It's a joke to think of myself as sacred!" Seeing him frowning, she couldn't help but sneered, coldly Said, "Young Master Gu thinks that I don't need to humiliate myself and compare myself to an abandoned dog, right? Oh! Don't get me wrong, my fate is actually worse than that abandoned dog! At least it can wander quietly , but I have to be harassed by Zhang Zhentong's absurdity from time to time!"

Her words contained sarcasm, and her voice revealed coldness and hatred.

Gu Chen's brows became tighter and tighter, as if displeased.

No woman dared to speak like this in front of him, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Xu Tong could see what was going on in his mind from his expression, snorted lightly, took out a card from his own card list, stretched his arm and hit it in front of Gu Chen, smiled at him and said, "I'm so sorry, I sometimes I don't know how to talk, it seems that Gu Shao is not very happy; this card, I know, Gu Shao, you have been waiting to touch it, so I won't keep it, play it out to honor you, it will be regarded as a gift to you Make amends!" She retracted her arms, her smile suddenly brightened, she blinked and looked at him and said, "That one is, Nine Tubes!" Her expression was extremely determined, and she firmly believed that he had been waiting for this card for a long time. .

Sure enough, Gu Chen put away the cards, and said with a wink and smile at her: "Come here and not indecent; you are so generous, I should give you one back!" Rub it out, push it in front of Xu Tong, and say softly: "I guess you've been waiting for it for a long time, now you can make up for it!"

After Xu Tong touched the cards, he raised his eyebrows high.The expression looked somewhat similar to him.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, "thanks a lot!"

Underneath the smile, there was a bewildering surprise in his heart that was hidden—he was right about what she was trying to argue.

She has been playing mahjong with Tang Zhuang for a long time, she has played a lot and practiced a lot, counting cards and memorizing cards is of course a no-brainer, but she never thought that Gu Chen, a busy businessman, would be as good at black cards as she is, which really surprised her .

When it was Lao Guan's turn to play, he said, "Get rich."

Xu Tong yelled crisply: "Hu!"

Looking away at Gu Chen, with a smile on his face, there was also a hint of complacency.

Gu Chen watched her smile, and the smile became bigger and bigger. He looked at her slowly, softly, and said word by word: "According to your old street rules - I will cut your ass off!"

Xu Tong couldn't help but startled when he heard the sound.She never thought that she would fall into the hands of outsiders in her own territory because of her own rules.

Gu Chen opened the cards, Xu Tong carefully looked at them again and again, and finally had to admit sourly that he was right from the beginning to the end.

Even though she was still unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to bow her head and admit defeat at this moment.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "I still have questions to ask." He turned his head to look at Lao Guan Mumu, and asked politely: "Can you avoid it for a while?"

The two looked at Xu Tong; Xu Tong nodded to them, "Go out, Gu Shao can't eat me!" His eyes turned to Gu Chen, and he blinked vigorously, looking at him provocatively and seductively and asked : "Really, Young Master Gu?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled back, without making a sound.The upturned angle of his lips made Xu Tong feel inexplicably familiar - just like when she first saw him, there was ridicule and sarcasm there.As if laughing, since she knows that she has lost, she just bows her head obediently; she knows that he will not give up easily, so why bother to flirt in front of him with more scheming.

Lao Guan and Mu Mu got up and left.

Xu Tong waved his hand generously, "Master Gu, please continue!"

Gu Chen said lightly: "You said you are a college student."

Xu Tong smiled calmly and replied: "I am indeed; due to some personal reasons, I happened to be absent on the day of the graduation ceremony; yesterday I just went to the school to get back my degree certificate and graduation certificate. From yesterday onwards, I should be counted as a university student. So, Young Master Gu, this really shouldn’t be regarded as my cheating on you!”

Gu Chen laughed out of her sophistry, nodded and said, "Okay, you are well-rounded and well-organized, so it's good that you didn't lie to me. Then, the next question," he smiled suddenly As soon as he pulled back, his expression became solemn in an instant, as if an invisible breath gathered around his body, as he opened his mouth, that breath spread over her, forcing her chest to feel constricted, and her breathing stagnated for no reason.

He asked in a deep voice, "Who came up with the idea of ​​the disc?"
