Out of control and sinking

Chapter 97 Brother Bo, can't you just let us off the hook?
"Don't play this one." The man's voice entered her ears like a deep bass cannon. He easily put down the card in her hand and then casually played another card.

“Sell this,” he said.

Jiang Ruan immediately realized that she had almost gotten herself into an even worse situation.

Startled, she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked up at him, stuck out her tongue, and said sweetly, "Thank you, I was just spacing out."

It was as if she was explaining to him.

Bo Ye replied, "Mm."

Seeing their tender affection, Si Chen's dissatisfied voice came: "Brother Bo, can't you just let us off the hook?"

Bo Ye replied calmly, "No."

Si Chen almost cried: "You've been tormenting me all night. I thought my sister-in-law would be my savior when she finally came, but it's just a disaster."

"You two are truly a perfect match, both of you are ruthless in your cruelty to people."

Si Chen strongly complained.

After all, they lost several villas.

It's impossible not to feel the pinch.

Bo Ye sat back in his chair, his long, slender fingers holding the Buddhist prayer beads, his dark eyes slightly narrowed.

He scoffed, "You have the nerve to say that."

"How many years have you been playing mahjong? You can't even beat her, let alone me?"

"I'm not ashamed."

"That's because you, Brother Bo, are there to guide your wife. I'm not," Si Chen retorted, unconvinced.

In Bo Ye's eyes, he was just like a child.

“Feng Meiling gave you a lot of pointers just now, but you still went your own way.”

Bo Ye said calmly, "You chose this path yourself, so regardless of winning or losing, don't blame others."

With just one sentence, Si Chen was silenced.

Si Chen was discouraged, sighed, and stopped talking.

But Jiang Ruan clearly felt that Bo Ye's words had a deeper meaning.

But I didn't have time to think about it in detail.

Her mind was completely focused on the card table. She didn't want to lose, even if there was only the slightest chance.

The group played until 2 a.m.

I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Bo Ye spoke, and that was the end of it.

The waiter came in to collect the cards and count them. Over the course of the night, Bo Ye and Jiang Ruan had won more than twenty cards together.

More than a dozen villas.

Apart from Bo Ye and Jiang Ruan, the others' teeth were almost worn down.

"Make a note and have them sign it." Bo Ye held a cigar between his fingertips, took a puff, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and laughed, "So that no one will recognize it after tonight."

The waiter replied, "Yes."

Soon, three IOUs were brought over.

The other three people signed.

Out of politeness, they had to smile apologetically at Bo Ye before going home separately.

Only I know the bitterness in my heart.

Soon, only Bo Ye and Jiang Ruan remained in the private room.

Jiang Ruan finally couldn't help but laugh, laughing until her stomach hurt. She clutched her stomach and said, "They probably won't play mahjong with you again. Tonight was definitely a nightmare for them."

Seeing her laughing so hard she could hardly breathe, Bo Ye bent down and stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.

He said confidently, "No."

"why?"

"You swindled so many villas from them, and they still want to play with you?" Jiang Ruan asked doubtfully, pouting. "Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Bo Ye stood up, his purple embroidered silk shirt making him look noble and gentlemanly, exuding the air of a superior in every gesture.

With a cold and expressionless face, he patiently explained to her, his voice magnetic and languid: "The Si family is a wealthy and prestigious family in Beijing with a history of over a hundred years. They built half of the villas in Causeway Bay in the early days. Later, they sold them off as investments, but their core business is still real estate. Now, you know that the most prosperous streets, commercial buildings, and detached villas in Beijing and Nanjing are almost all owned by the Si family."

"I heard they also bought several islands and plan to build villas on the water. Each island is quite large, about a thousand square kilometers."
