Yan Nuo had just returned to school when a girl blocked his way. Yan Nuo frowned as he looked at the elegantly dressed girl standing in front of him, wondering why this woman wanted to see him.
"You...want to see me about something?"
Yan Nuo didn't recognize the girl in front of him and didn't know why she had come to see him.
"I heard you and Wen Lu have a good relationship? You don't know about the things she's done?"
Upon hearing the girl mention Wen Lu's name, Yan Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly. His relationship with Wen Lu at the school wasn't particularly obvious, and she didn't quite understand why she had approached him.
"What do you think is the relationship between me and Wen Lu? Why are you looking for me? And who are you?"
At this moment, Yan Nuo's mind was blank. He couldn't understand why this person was looking for him, and he was completely bewildered.
“Wen Lu was adopted by the Wen family, and I am now the Wen family’s daughter. I just want to tell you that Wen Lu is not as simple as you think. Don’t be fooled by her…”
The moment Su Yu uttered those words, Yan Nuo instantly recognized who the person in front of him was. It turned out that this was the one who spread rumors about Wen Lu. He had to admit, he was really brave to stand up like that. Well done, he just happened to have no chance to deal with this person.
Knowing Su Yu's identity, Yan Nuo relaxed completely. He looked at Su Yu with indifferent eyes and smiled gently.
"Do you have some time right now? I'm quite interested in what you're saying. How about I treat you to dinner?"
Hearing Yan Nuo take the initiative to invite her to dinner, Su Yu was slightly taken aback. She thought she would have to waste some words to get a word in with Yan Nuo, but she didn't expect Yan Nuo to take the bait so easily.
"Of course, what preparations do you need to make?"
Su Yu looked at the suitcase in her hand and asked in a sweet and gentle voice, while giving Yan Nuo a sweet smile.
Looking at Su Yu's innocent appearance, Yan Nuo felt that if she didn't know what kind of person Su Yu was, she would have fallen for her trap. Unfortunately, she was not that naive.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll take my things back to the dorm first, and then I'll wait for you at the school gate."
As she spoke, Yan Nuo walked past Su Yu toward the dormitory.
Su Yu watched Yan Nuo's retreating figure with an expectant expression, feeling that her plan was about to succeed.
When Yan Nuo reached the corner, she turned around and walked towards the infirmary, then left the school through the back door of the infirmary.
It's unbelievable! He never expected to get entangled with this kind of person. If he didn't know what she did to Wen Lu, he would probably think that Su Yu was a good person.
After leaving school, Yan Nuo made a phone call. It's unclear what she said on the phone, but she hung up quickly.
When Wen Lu came out of the room, she saw the same people who had dragged her to play cards sitting at the table again. This time, instead of mahjong tiles, they had playing cards in front of them. They were playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), and this time, the person playing with them was Wang Jinyu.
In front of Wang Jinyu was a pile of chips similar to those she had yesterday. Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but glance at those people again. She thought they were really brave, truly becoming more courageous after setbacks.
Wang Jinyu turned around and saw Wen Lu walking over. He waved to Wen Lu, handed her the cards, and then gently pulled her aside.
"You play this game for me first, and I'll go prepare some food for you."
Wen Lu frowned slightly as she looked at the bad hand in Wang Jinyu's hand. Without saying anything, she took the card from Wang Jinyu and casually sat down in the seat Wang Jinyu had been in. Her calm demeanor made those who had seen Wang Jinyu's hand sweat for her.
Wen Lu glanced at the tense expressions on everyone's faces, put the cards in her hand together, held them in her palm, and asked in a somewhat nonchalant tone.
"Let me ask first, what are the stakes?"
When Wen Lu asked about the bet, Shen Yinan, who was standing to the side, smiled lightly and said indifferently, "Fourth Master has a horse farm in the southern suburbs of the capital. These two guys have their eyes on Fourth Master's horse farm and want to bet with Fourth Master on the operating rights for a year."
Upon hearing this, Wen Lu suddenly found it interesting. She smiled gently, then raised an eyebrow at the two people sitting opposite her.
"So if you lose, what are you prepared to lose?"
Wen Lu knew Wang Jinyu's character. If Wang Jinyu didn't have something in mind, he certainly wouldn't be sitting here playing cards with them, much less taking his own things to gamble.
The key point isn't the one-year operating rights to the horse farm, but rather that a year is a considerable period. If any problems arise along the way, the losses could be substantial. Since Wang Jinyu is playing with them, their bargaining chips must be quite powerful.
"If we lose, we'll lose to Fourth Master's piece of land in the north of the city."
As they spoke, the two men looked smugly at the cards in their hands, their eyes filled with an air of certainty. If they couldn't win with such a hand, they would be willing to jump into the sea.
Seeing the two men's determined expressions, Wen Lu smiled gently. In her opinion, if she didn't teach these two a good lesson, she would really be letting down Wang Jinyu's purpose in having her sit here.
Wen Lu looked at the three cards remaining on the table, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gently tapped the table with the cards in her hand.
"Judging from your appearance, it seems the land has already been allocated, so I'm the landlord, right?"
"Yes, Fourth Master said that we'll only play this one round, and it'll count as both of us winning together, with him being the landlord."
At first, they were a little nervous, thinking that Wang Jinyu was setting a trap for them. But after seeing their cards, they weren't nervous at all for several days. With such good cards, they couldn't possibly lose even if they wanted to.
"Alright, let's reveal our hand."
Wen Lu raised her hand and flipped over three cards on the table. Everyone held their breath, hoping that one of the three cards would be useful and save Wen Lu's hand full of broken cards.
But as it turned out, things didn't go as planned, and the three additional cards were completely useless.
The people standing behind Wen Lu all involuntarily gasped, as if they could already foresee the outcome.
"Wait a minute, if we're going to play, let's go big and make everyone feel involved. You onlookers can also set up a bet and experience the thrill together."
