Chapter 149 Card Game In
  the Meng family's living room, a card game was unfolding.

  Fang Qing, Wen Ning, and the other four sat around a solid wood coffee table, each holding a deck of cards, staring intently at the cards on the table, but the expressions on their faces were different.

  "Master, what is three sixes with two threes?" Zicheng held up the cards in his hand. Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, he finally sorted out the cards, but was bewildered by Wang Haihua's series of card moves.

  Wen Ning played a card, suppressing Wang Haihua, giving Fang Qing the opportunity to play a card, and then explained this poker method to Meng Zicheng.

  Wang Haihua, who was sitting opposite, saw Wen Ning suppressing her without any hesitation, and explaining it to Zicheng without any hesitation, even personally sorting out the cards in Meng Zicheng's hand. Finally, she couldn't help but speak out to dissuade him.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, this is a poker game, take it seriously! Even if he doesn't know how to play, you can't look at his cards..."

  But Wen Ning acted as if he hadn't heard him. He slowly arranged the cards and pressed them into Zicheng's hands. "If it weren't for Zicheng learning about poker, do you think I'd play with you? If you have any objections, then we won't play anymore."

  Hearing this, Wang Haihua held her breath in anger and opened her mouth to retort, but stopped. She had finally had the opportunity to sit so close to Wen Ning, and she wasn't going to

  fall for his tricks over such a small matter. "I didn't say I have any objections. Okay, okay, then, continue, continue!" Fang Qing had no experience with poker, and on several occasions, Wang Haihua had her hands tied, preventing her from playing a single card. If Wen Ning hadn't intervened, Fang Qing would have lost everything.

  But what no one expected was how quickly this little guy, Zicheng, learned.

  At first, like Fang Qing, he was completely overwhelmed by Wang Haihua's cards and unable to play anything. But after a round, he was actually able to independently analyze the cards on the table and play them skillfully.

  As the sun set, the heavy rain outside the window gradually subsided, and the people fighting at the table inside the house finally decided who was the winner.

  Meng Zicheng looked at the scattered banknotes in his arms, his face full of excitement. "Master, I actually won over thirty yuan."

  Wen Ning smiled and pushed the money in his arms towards Fang Qing. He smiled a little when he heard Meng Zicheng's words. "Playing cards is just for fun, to relax. You played so well on your first try, which shows that you are very smart. But the teacher hopes that you can use all this energy to study and never let it distract you."

  Meng Zicheng showed the money to the old housekeeper with a smug look, then showed off a little and ran back to the house to save it.

  Wang Haihua no longer had the high spirits she had before the morning card game. She stared at her empty wallet in disbelief, unable to believe that she, always so invincible, would actually lose it all one day. She

  looked up and saw Fang Qing, counting her money with a smile on her face. For some reason, Wang Haihua found her pretty face and sweet smile piercing.

  "Why am I the only one losing while you three win?" I Aihua slammed the table. "You... you must be cheating! You three teamed up to screw me!"

  Wen Ning rubbed his sore neck, stood up, and shook out his pants. "You wanted to play in the first place, and you were the one who gambled the money. Now that you've lost, you're turning your back on me. You really can't handle it."

  Wen Ning's words made Wang Haihua feel a little uncomfortable. While she had indeed initiated this, she hadn't expected these three to be so skilled at cards. They had actually won all her money!
  "I don't care! I've lost all my money now. I don't even have enough for my ticket home! You need an explanation!"

  Wen Ning had been about to head upstairs to rest, but upon hearing Wang Haihua's words, he stopped himself. He looked at Wang Haihua with a rare smile, "I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

  It was a simple idea: have the old housekeeper lend her money, and then they could continue their duel.

  "If you can beat me three times in a row, or double your winnings if you don't, then you'll get all your losses back and maybe even your original loan back. What do you think? Want to try?"

  Wen Ning, smiling like a cunning fox, kindly counseled the stunned Wang Haihua across from him. Fang Qing looked at the scene, which seemed utterly familiar, as if he had seen it on TV somewhere. Wang Haihua,

  in turn, was mesmerized by Wen Ning's gentle, jade-like face. She felt as if she were lost in a bubble of rosy dreams, her mind no longer obeying her will.

  She shook her head quickly. After listening to Wen Ning's words, she pondered carefully. While there was a certain risk, she had already mastered Wen Ning's card skills. As long as she didn't make any mistakes, it wouldn't be difficult to beat him three games in a row.

  People are often like this: after losing money, as soon as there's a glimmer of hope, a gambler's mentality suddenly erupts, thinking that if they win, they will get their principal and interest back.

  Wang Haihua was in this state at the moment. She had once been unbeatable in the village, but for the first time, she had suffered such a huge setback in front of others. Whether for the sake of face or financial considerations, she had to defeat Wen Ning.

  After everyone had finished dinner, Wen Ning and Wang Haihua began their match.

  The servants of the Meng family, after finishing their work, gathered around the card table, observing the game with nervous excitement.

  At the start of the game, Wang Haihua had already won two games in a row, which made her very excited. "Little brother, I've already won two games. In one more game, all your bets will belong to me. Although I like you very much, I will not show mercy at the table. Don't cry when the time comes!"

  Wen Ning smiled faintly and asked the old butler to reshuffle the cards. However, the direction of this game was completely beyond Wang Haihua's expectations. No matter what card she played, Wen Ning firmly suppressed her. Wang Haihua lost the third game.

  Although she didn't achieve three consecutive wins, Wang Haihua was not discouraged. Winning two games in a row gave her great confidence. She ignored the dissuasion of those around her and threw out a few more chips. "Double!"

  The big clock on the wall had already struck nine times, and the servants who were watching had long since gone back to rest.

  The two people still battling in the living room were now in completely different states. Wen Ning had a large pile of chips beside him, while Wang Haihua, across from him, was looking at the only chip in her hand in distress.

  Wang Haihua was sweating profusely, pulling her hair to calculate, but no matter how she calculated, she was clearly aware that she could not win.

  As Wen Ning played the last red ace of hearts, Wang Haihua finally closed her eyes in despair, "You have been playing tricks on me since the beginning."

  At this point, if Wang Haihua still couldn't understand, then all her years would be in vain.
