Chapter 38
"Why are you looking at me like that? Can I still lie to you?"
A man will never cry until he sees the coffin. Fu Zhan felt a little guilty, but he hid it very well. He believed it if Jiang Ling was really a dog.
If the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way. It works every time. Jiang Ling starts to purr softly: "Ang woo... Ang woo..."
He looked at Fu Zhan with extremely eager eyes. If his paws slipped a little, he would hold on tightly again and kick with his hind legs.
Fu Zhan finally gave in to the cute and pitiful puppy whose eyes were full of his master. He picked up Jiang Ling with one hand and stroked his soft fur to coax him: "Okay, okay, if you keep whining like this, I'll think I'm a heinous villain. I'll take you there."
"Woof!"
He had to learn his lesson after getting the upper hand. He rubbed Fu Zhan's chest and jumped to throw himself on his shoulder, but he was a small Bichon Frise and could not jump up. His little tongue could only lick Fu Zhan's face in the air.
Seeing that the puppy couldn't lick it, Fu Zhan took the initiative to move his face closer.
Hiss, I licked it.
Jiang Ling: “!!!”
I am just pretending, are you serious???
Jiang Ling stuck out his tongue into the air and said, "Pah, pah, pah." Fu Zhan had just played with a woman two days ago. He didn't want to lick this thing.
But there was a trace of doubt in his heart, he had never smelled any perfume on Fu Zhan.
Maybe it was washed clean afterwards?
When they got outside, Fu Zhan held the puppy in his hands and looked at the horizon in the distance, and then he started to talk nonsense: "Looking at the situation today, the monster will not come out at night. Since it won't come out, let's do some entertainment."
Jiang Ling: “….”
It's really like sending a Buddha to the west, and acting to the end.
Fu Zhan went to the Qimeng Club again. The cool convertible sports car on the road blew Jiang Ling's head into a big backcombed hair. Fu Zhan held him in his arms and helped him tidy up his hair while smiling.
They followed the manager into the most luxurious chess and card room. Zhao Chengyi and two friends had been waiting at the card table. Their names were Wang Zhixun and Zheng Hao. They stood up and greeted Fu Zhan when they saw him.
Fu Zhan waved his hand lazily: "Come out to play, just be casual."
The two of them agreed immediately.
Zhao Chengyi said, "Why did you bring a dog with you when you came out to play cards?"
He stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Ling's head. Jiang Ling barked fiercely and almost jumped up and rushed out of Fu Zhan's arms.
"Fuck! It almost bit me," Zhao Chengyi quickly retracted his hand.
"Not fierce," Fu Zhan patted the puppy.
Jiang Ling was quiet then. He didn't like being touched by others. He was touched and hugged by Fu Zhan out of necessity. Fu Zhan pulled out a chair and sat down, saying proudly, "I can't help it. My little dog only kisses me."
"Tsk," Zhao Chengyi shook his head and said, "Everyone is here, let's get started."
The four of them were playing mahjong. Fu Zhan's upstream player was Zhao Chengyi, his downstream player was Zheng Hao, and his opponent was Wang Zhixun.
Listening to the automatic mahjong table shuffling the cards, Jiang Ling had an idea. As long as he helped Fu Zhan win money, he would have reason to ask for a share of the rewards. Although it was not very glorious, it was a way to make quick money nowadays. Besides, Fu Zhan was rich, and any money that slipped through his fingers would be a huge sum for ordinary people.
"It's a bad hand," Zhao Chengyi, the dealer, cursed and threw out a Dongfeng card.
"Hey, let me touch Dongfeng," Zheng Hao made a timely move, put Dongfeng into his pocket with a smile, pushed a Ming Ke to the corner of the table at hand, and hit the red center.
The game had just begun and we were already in the mood.
Zhao Chengyi: "Touching everything will only make you malnourished."
Zheng Hao: "Could it be that it means that I will have the purple air coming from the east?"
Zhao Chengyi sneered, trying to destroy his opponent's prestige with his attitude.
They had already skipped over Fu Zhan, but Fu Zhan was still slowly putting his cards together. Jiang Ling was getting anxious for him. The cards in his hand couldn't be said to be very bad, they could only be said to be as bad as it could be. There was no missing card from East, South, West, North, White, Zhong, or Fa, but they still couldn't form a pair. There was reason to suspect that Fu Zhan had eaten braised pork with pickled mustard greens for lunch.
The previous player threw out the south wind.
Fu Zhan followed suit: "South Wind."
Then a large pancake was brought in.
Jiang Ling sighed deeply. Fu Zhan only had eight and nine cards in his bad cards, so the big card he picked up was useless. He jumped off Fu Zhan's legs, spread his four short legs and walked around the other three people. He was too short to see their cards, so he had to jump onto the tea table with great effort, and at least he could see Zhao Chengyi's cards clearly.
Zhao Chengyi had seven cakes and a big cake in his hand, and he was hesitating between the big cake and the seven cakes.
Jiang Ling barked to attract his attention.
Zhao Chengyi turned his head and said, "You're still at the table. Why, do you want to help me play cards?"
Jiang Ling: "Woof!"
"Oh, you really want to do that." It didn't matter which card he played, so Zhao Chengyi simply asked the dog to help him choose. "Well, if you think it's better to play a big cake, you bark once. If you think it's better to play seven cakes, you bark seven times."
Jiang Ling: “Woof woof woof woof woof…”
Zhao Chengyi: “….”
Zhao Chengyi called out several times without counting, but it was right to play seven cakes. Snap, a card was thrown out: "Seven cakes!"
Fu Zhan raised his lips: "Eat."
Just right, seven, eight, nine cakes, all ready.
"Hey..." Zhao Chengyi stroked his hair, "If you listen to the little dog, you'll have nowhere to go."
Zheng Hao and Wang Zhixun laughed out loud.
Fu Zhan was in a good mood: "Don't you even look at whose puppy it is."
Jiang Ling returned to Fu Zhan's feet and jumped up. Fu Zhan picked him up and praised the puppy generously: "You are worthy of being my puppy. You are so smart. Whether I can win depends on you."
Although he was praised, Jiang Ling couldn't be happy. If he had to rely on a dog to play cards, how could he make money?
He continued to wag his tail in response.
Zhao Chengyi retorted: "It's just my bad luck, not your dog's cleverness."
As he was talking, Wang Zhixun, who was playing opposite him, had already played a chicken. Zheng Hao, who was playing next to Fu Zhan, had already laid out a straight of one, two, and three on the table. That was why Wang Zhixun had thrown away this card, which was useless. However, Fu Zhan happened to have a pair of chickens in his hand. When Zhao Chengyi was about to play, Jiang Ling stopped him in time: "Woof!"
He pushed Fu Zhan's pair of chickens with his claws and revealed his cards.
Fu Zhan raised his eyes and took a look: "Not bad, we can touch it again."
Zhao Chengyi: “…”
Wang Zhixun said, "Fourth Young Master, your little dog is amazing. If it doesn't play cards for you, once Chengyi's card is thrown out, you won't be able to touch it even if you want to."
Zheng Hao: "Yeah, how come it's so smart? It's just a coincidence."
"Of course it's smart. Who else's dog can be as clever as it?" Fu Zhan praised, but he was also wondering, is it too smart? Can it even understand cards?
He held the puppy in front of him, held its armpits with both hands and shook it gently. Jiang Ling's fluffy white fur also swayed. The more Fu Zhan looked at it, the more he found it cute. He thought to himself that it didn't matter whether it was really smart or just a coincidence, it was cute anyway.
"I really don't believe it. Can it be so smart?" Zhao Chengyi said to Jiang Ling, "Come on, help me play the cards again."
Jiang Ling broke free from Fu Zhan's hand and jumped onto the tea table next to them, in the same position as when he was looking at the cards before.
Zhao Chengyi now has two cards in his hand to play, one is North Wind and the other is Five of a Kind.
"Here," he pointed at the five strips and said to Jiang Ling, "If you want me to play this one, just shout five."
Fu Zhan understood: "It's either five strips or five cakes."
Zheng Hao and Wang Zhixun laughed. Zheng Hao teased, "Chengyi, you are confessing yourself. If you ask us this, we can all know what cards you have in your hand."
"Go away, don't get involved. I'm asking it," Zhao Chengyi pointed at Beifeng and said to Jiang Ling, "Choose this one and make a sound."
Jiang Ling chose to call Wusheng.
Zhao Chengyi immediately slapped Bei Feng, which made the table slam loudly.
"Hahahaha, do you think I will listen to you? I've been cheated once, and I won't be cheated a second time, hahaha..." He was beaming with joy and laughing wildly at the puppy's round face, which was totally sarcastic.
Jiang Ling rolled his eyes.
Fu Zhan knocked down two identical Bei Fengs and said word by word: "I, touch."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Zhao Chengyi: “..........”
"Woof woof," Jiang Ling barked twice, then fell on the tea table with his legs up in the air, making gurgling sounds and mocking back in kind.
Zhao Chengyi was confused: "...Did it predict my prediction?"
Zheng Hao: “It seems so.”
Wang Zhixun: "It seems that he also mocked you and laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground."
Zhao Chengyi: ""
Fu Zhan also laughed, and his voice gradually became louder, and finally turned into a loud laugh.
Whoosh, Jiang Ling kicked out his hind legs and threw himself onto Zhao Chengyi's legs, then used the force to leap into Fu Zhan's arms, rubbing against him in his warm embrace, flapping his ears and barking with his belly spread out. Fu Zhan stroked him a few times and loved it very much.
Zhao Chengyi came back to his senses: "I was actually fooled by a little dog twice?"
"But speaking of which," Wang Zhixun said, "the puppy is really smart. Fourth Master, how did you teach him?"
Fu Zhan said: "I didn't teach him. He is so smart since I found him."
Zheng Hao nodded: "It's really a treasure."
"That's not right," Wang Zhixun took the opportunity to flatter him, "It's not that the puppy is smart, it's that our Fourth Young Master picked it up, and it's been with the Fourth Young Master for a long time, so it's become smart because of what it sees and hears. If someone else picked it up, it might not be as smart."
"I'm convinced," Zhao Chengyi said to Wang Zhixun, "I don't usually see how capable you are, but your ability to flatter is first-rate."
Fu Zhan was naturally happy to hear good words, and asked with a smile: "What did you say your name was before, Wang Zhixun?"
Wang Zhixun smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."
Fu Zhan nodded slightly.
Wang Zhixun smiled happily. Fu Zhan had remembered him and would take him along for the fun in the future.
Sitting on Fu Zhan's lap, Jiang Ling had a full view of Wang Zhixun's expression and his little thoughts. He thought that if he could speak human words and ask him to flatter him for money, he could say anything, such as "golden gun that never falls", "seven times a night", "unparalleled bravery"... He could even describe Fu Zhan to the point of exhaustion.
With Jiang Ling's help, Fu Zhan had played out all the bad cards in his hand, leaving only one thirty thousand, ready to go all out.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
The manager poked his head in with a smile: "Boss, excuse me for interrupting you, I..."
"Hey, manager, please move aside. I'm an old acquaintance of the Fourth Young Master. Do I need you to inform me specifically that I'm coming to see him?" There was a woman behind the manager. She was dressed very coolly. She only had a tube top on her upper body. Her shoulders and thin waist were exposed to the air. The black leather skirt on her lower body was so short that it barely covered the safety pants underneath.
The manager laughed and walked out.
"Hey, Huanhuan?" Zhao Chengyi looked up first. "You are so quick-witted. How long did it take us to know that Fu Zhan was here after we sat down?"
Wang Zhixun and Zheng Hao both fixed their eyes on Shi Huan.
Shi Huan is the bar's resident singer. She has a good figure and is beautiful. The dancers in the bar sometimes ask her to take over when they have to take leave. She is also a great dancer. With her beautiful figure and hot dancing moves, she is well-known in the bar of Qimeng Entertainment Club.
"What else can I say, Zhao Chengyi? Why didn't you invite me to your birthday party last time? Am I not worthy enough?"
Shi Huan moved a chair and sat next to Fu Zhan. While talking to Zhao Chengyi, she had already wrapped her arms around Fu Zhan's arms. Half of her body, which was filled with a feminine scent, was pressing into Fu Zhan's arms, occupying Jiang Ling's space.
Jiang Ling gave way a little, but was very unhappy. This playboy was really a magnet for all the other girls!
Can I still play cards properly?
Zhao Chengyi then threw out a card and said, "Isn't that because my girlfriend is easily jealous? In her eyes, you are a vixen. Oh no, now you are her ex-girlfriend."
Shi Huan: "Did you break up? It's a good thing you broke up. I saw her staring at Fu Zhan earlier. She wanted to cheat on you."
Zhao Chengyi said: "You can see the feelings, but I am blind."
Fu Zhan glanced at her and smiled faintly: "Have you finished singing?"
Shi Huan said, "I didn't sing today. I danced for Xiaoyue. Didn't you see that I was wearing dancing clothes? Everyone else's eyes were almost glued to me, but how come you don't have any desire in your eyes?"
Zheng Hao and Wang Zhixun lowered their heads and coughed a few times to cover up their embarrassment.
"We're playing cards. What do you want me to desire?" Fu Zhan said this, but he did not reject Shi Huan's intimacy. At the end, he gave a light "hmm", and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Shi Huan acted coquettishly, her breath was as sweet as orchid: "What do you think?"
Fu Zhan slowly raised his thin lips, touched a card, and exchanged it with a thirty thousand card in his hand. Then he looked at Shi Huan with a romantic look in his eyes: "You say, I listen to you."
It was obvious that the two were flirting. Jiang Ling was anxious. He had looked at a circle of cards before. Zheng Hao, the next player, had two thirty thousand and one twenty thousand in his hand, and Zhao Chengyi, the previous player, already had a thirty thousand stuck in his straight. So instead of waiting to touch the thirty thousand, Zheng Hao might as well draw by himself or take one or four thousand. Then one of his thirty thousand would become a waste card and would most likely be discarded. As long as he threw away the thirty thousand, Fu Zhan could win the game with a single stroke.
When Fu Zhan picked up the ninety thousand, Jiang Ling immediately pushed his arm with his claws.
Hurry up, spend 90,000 and keep 30,000.
But Fu Zhan didn't notice it. He picked up the 90,000 and knocked out the 30,000 that were standing up.
Zheng He clinked his hands and said with a smile, "I almost thought I couldn't win, but I didn't expect that the Fourth Young Master had thirty thousand in his hand. If the Fourth Young Master didn't play this card, I would have lost the thirty thousand."
Sure enough, it was just as Jiang Ling expected.
But it's too late.
Too late!
Jiang Ling is angry!
Very very angry!!
It’s all Fu Zhan’s fault for focusing on women! ! ! !
"Wang Ang!" He yelled at Fu Zhan angrily.
Fu Zhan lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on him, he touched his soft head with his fingers, and asked casually: "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter? I finally had a chance to improve after starting with a bad hand, but you ruined it again!" Jiang Ling barked on Fu Zhan's legs and stood up angrily, flapping his front paws and bouncing with his hind paws, as if he was equipped with high-elasticity springs, and his two ears flew up and down.
"Wang ang wang ang..." very fierce.
“Woof ang woof ang woof ang….” Very fierce!
"Wang ang wang ang wang ang wang ang wang ang...." It was so fierce!
Fu Zhan was confused: "......"
When he was angry, Jiang Ling used his claws to push Shi Huan's arm. If Shi Huan hadn't looked at him with surprise and no malice, he would have bitten him directly: "Let go, let go, don't get involved with Fu Zhan at this critical moment!"
"What's wrong with it?" Shi Huan asked Fu Zhan.
Fu Zhan wanted to ask someone else, but suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind: "Little Maotuan, you...are you jealous?"
Jiang Ling shouted: "Eat your ass, you are jealous!"
Fu Zhan quickly pulled his arm out of Shi Huan's arms. Shi Huan wanted to speak, but the puppy was obviously barking too loudly, leaving her no room to interrupt.
"Okay, little fur ball, be good and don't make any noise," Fu Zhan tried to hug Jiang Ling and catch him with both hands.
Whoosh, Jiang Ling jumped up and Fu Zhan's hand was empty.
Catch again.
Whoosh, Jiang Ling bounced higher than last time, hitting Fu Zhan's face, and her lifted skirt brushed against Fu Zhan's nose.
Fu Zhan clearly saw that his little fur ball had male characteristics. Could a male dog also have possessiveness towards an owner of the same gender? Could he be so jealous?
The other four were also dumbfounded.
Zhao Chengyi: "Does it have its own spring?"
Fu Zhan said to Shi Huan, "It seems that my Maotuan doesn't like you. Go and do your own thing."
Shi Huan laughed angrily: "Fourth Young Master, you spoil the puppy too much. If it doesn't like it, you just let it go. Will it still control whether you have children or marry a wife in the future?"
Fu Zhan's tone gradually turned cold: "I don't know about the future, but not now."
Whether in her words and deeds, figure or dress, Shi Huan is a very hot woman, and she is very popular in the circle of young men, but more importantly, she knows everyone's temper, especially Fu Zhan. On the surface, he is very gentle to all women, but if he doesn't want anyone to get close to him, anyone who gets close to him will undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
"Okay, remember to ask me out when you have time," Shi Huan patted her skirt, stood up and blew her a kiss.
Whoosh, Jiang Ling jumped up again and blocked it!
Shi Huan said "jealous little dog" and left the private room.
Fu Zhan prepares to capture Jiang Ling again.
He predicted that Jiang Ling would jump up, and when his two hands were halfway around him, he suddenly changed direction and clasped them upwards.
Caught nothing.
Jiang Ling did not jump up.
Fu Zhan: “.........”
Jiang Ling: "Idiot."
Shi Huan had only taken a few steps out of the private room when he heard loud laughter from inside.
Zhao Chengyi laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, tears streaming down his face. He pointed at Fu Zhan and said, "Hahahahaha... idiot, you acted like an idiot just now..."
Zheng Hao and Wang Zhixun couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to be as bold as Zhao Chengyi.
Fu Zhan was annoyed. He put his fingers into Jiang Ling's skirt and tickled his belly: "Little culprit, why don't you play by the rules?"
Jiang Ling felt itchy, and used all four paws to push Fu Zhan's hand away, calling him a hooligan.
In this round, Fu Zhan was destined not to win.
The game starts over.
In order to ensure Fu Zhan's victory, Jiang Ling paid attention to any disturbance. No matter who it was, whether male or female, any outsider who wanted to enter the private room would be driven away by him.
The card game lasted until the second half of the night. Fu Zhan's luck was good and he had a high chance of winning. Jiang Ling was not sleepy at all and became more and more energetic.
By three o'clock in the morning, the players finally yawned and were about to disperse.
In the last round, Fu Zhan won, pushed the cards in his hand and said, "Let's rest."
Zheng Hao asked: "I wonder if there is any midnight snack at this time. Should we go out to eat?"
Zhao Chengyi stretched lazily: "It's not that difficult to eat. I just need to make a phone call."
The other two friends, Wei Ze and Li Xin, just called. The song was over and they were shouting over the phone, asking them to go out for a midnight snack. Fu Zhan picked up the puppy and said to them, "Let's go, eat something, and then go home and sleep."
After saying that, his palms were empty. Jiang Ling jumped onto the table and shouted at Fu Zhan among a pile of messy mahjong tiles.
reward!
He wants his own reward!
Zhao Chengyi sighed and said, "Your puppy explodes from time to time. You should deal with it first. We will wait for you outside."
Zheng Hao and Wang Zhixun walked out of the private room with Zhao Chengyi, arm in arm.
Fu Zhan looked at the puppy and asked helplessly, "What's wrong, ancestor?"
Jiang Ling pushed aside the chaotic mahjong chips and picked up one of them to show that he wanted it.
Fu Zhan: “This?”
Jiang Ling couldn't shout as he held the chips in his mouth, he could only make some humming sounds.
"Okay, take it if you like it." It was just a few cards, so Fu Zhan was reluctant to give them to him. He spread out some of the mahjong tiles, picked out a few chips, stacked them together and waved them in front of Jiang Ling, "All of these are for you, okay?"
It couldn’t be better!
Jiang Ling wagged his tail and jumped on the table.
Fu Zhan smiled, picked him up and held him in his arms. Jiang Ling couldn't help but pick up the chips in Fu Zhan's hand and the one in his mouth, and held them all in his arms. The man's eyes fell from above, he held the puppy, and the puppy held the chips, with happiness shining in his eyes.
Fu Zhan couldn't help but smile gently, so cute.
The four men chatted and laughed as they went downstairs. When they reached the front desk, Jiang Ling was so excited that he wanted to stand up from Fu Zhan's arms.
This amount is enough to cover one month's loan repayment.
They arrived at the front desk, and then.....passed by the front desk in a gorgeous manner, and walked away from the front desk...
No money exchange?!
Jiang Ling was shocked.
After Fu Zhan's sports car had driven a long distance, Jiang Ling finally caught the important details from the card game that had taken place all night. No one's chips had been moved. There was no stake in this card game, it was purely for entertainment and to pass the time.
I thought I was going to get rich, but ended up back to the days before liberation overnight.
Jiang Ling was a little discouraged, and he lay down in the passenger seat, looking weak, with only his eyes moving occasionally. Even when Fu Zhan fed him food during the midnight snack, he was unwilling to open his mouth. Fu Zhan just thought he was sleepy, so he ate a few bites and took him home.
Jiang Ling was depressed in his nest for a while.
But he quickly cheered up and rushed upstairs. No difficulty could defeat him.
