I'm Here to Join You

Zhou Wanwan looked at her with a face full of sympathy and said:

"Madam Nie, why do you always think so badly of people?"

I'm not actually here for revenge; I'm here to join you.

If you're comfortable with that, I can cure his illness too; you just need to pay me.

Zhou Wanwan felt she was being too generous; Madam Nie treated her so badly, yet she still treated Nie Feng!

Is there anyone in this world as good as her?

Madam Nie, holding Nie Feng, said, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Zhou Wanwan quickly nodded and said:

"Alright! What are you waiting for? It's time to divide the spoils!"

These ladies are really generous; thank you all for participating.

Lu Lan looked at her jewelry and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you already have so much gold and silver jewelry, you probably wouldn't even look at a speck of dust on this stage, would you?"

Let's forget about our gold and silver jewelry!

Zhou Wanwan chuckled:

"Who would complain about having too much money? I think the craftsmanship of these pieces is quite good. You can have them back, but don't even think about it."

"Someone, put these things away for me."

Madam Nie shouted loudly:

"Wait, who dares to put these things away?"

Zhou Wanwan, you've angered my son so much, and you still have the nerve to gamble with these stakes? Who gave you the courage?

Zhou Wanwan really wanted to say, "Of course it was Liang Jingru gave it to me..."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Madam Nie and said hysterically, "A bet is a bet. Doesn't Madam Nie understand the principle of accepting the consequences of one's bet?"

Madam Nie sneered:

"Pass down the order to gather all our people here."

Zhou Wanwan, if my son doesn't wake up today, you'll have to pay with your life.

Zhou Wanwan was speechless. What exactly was going on with Madam Nie?

He's like a lunatic.

She looked at Madam Nie and said:

"Madam Nie, you are truly a man of your word!"

It was clearly agreed that whoever won would get all these things, but now they've changed their tune.

Is your Nie Residence a sore loser? It's alright if you can't afford to lose; just say one word in front of so many people.

Madam Nie looked at her and said, "What do you want me to say?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"Since Madam Nie insists on going back on her word, just say it three times in front of so many people: My Nie Residence cannot afford to lose."

I'm not taking any of your bets.

How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Nie immediately roared in anger:

"Don't even think about it! My Nie Residence is a prestigious and noble family, of such high status."

How could I possibly say such servile things! You're dreaming if you expect me to admit defeat!

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"Refusing to talk? That means the Nie Residence can't afford to lose, yet they're unwilling to lose face. They want to cheat, but they also want to keep the stakes."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Accepting the consequences of a bet is basic manners.

Madam Nie can't even do this much, yet she still bullies others by relying on her power.

Is the intention to make it clear to the whole world that the Nie Residence not only lost the competition, but also their character?

Madam Nie was speechless, her face turning pale and then flushed.

Nie Shi'an quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, and said in a deep voice:

"How could my Nie Residence possibly be unable to afford to lose? It's just some gold and silver jewelry; you can take it if you want."

We were just heartbroken for our son, and you made him faint. That's why my wife lost her temper for a moment.

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him indifferently and said:

"What's there to be angry about? He just wasn't good enough and fainted because he lost the game."

If you want to discipline or teach your son, you should do it yourselves; it has nothing to do with us.

Madam Nie's face stiffened, and the surrounding ladies whispered among themselves, "That's true, what they said is right. To cheat after losing is just too ridiculous."

"These barbarians from Jiangnan are truly unreasonable; they can't accept defeat."

"His son is bad at his craft, and he's blaming it all on some little girl. What did that little girl do to deserve this?"

Madam Nie coughed and said, "They're just ordinary trinkets. I'm not such a sore loser. Take them away, take them away."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Madam Nie is indeed very magnanimous. I was thinking that you would definitely not make things difficult for a child like me."

Madam Nie felt like she was about to vomit blood. She waved her hand and said, "Take these things away quickly, they're an eyesore."

Zhou Wanwan's men came over and carried away all the gold and silver jewelry.

Everyone stared in disbelief. Zhou Wanwan took out two boxes and said, "Auntie, these are for you."

Madam Shen quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh dear! I was just joining in the fun, I don't need it."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Let's just do what we're supposed to do. You won this."

Unable to refuse, Madam Shen had no choice but to accept it.

Shen Congrong looked at the two boxes of jewelry and couldn't stop smiling:

"Wow! I never expected to get so much stuff."

My wife really is farsighted!

Nie Shi'an's face instantly darkened.

Madam Shen pinched him and said, "Alright, even a cornered dog will jump over the wall! You're talking nonsense all day long."

Shen Congrong chuckled and said:

Isn't this a matter of accepting the consequences of a bet?

I'm just furious that he actually tried to force my perfectly good daughter to marry his useless, good-for-nothing son.

I get so angry just thinking about it, but now the more I look at Zhou Qingchen, the more pleasing he seems. What's going on?

"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Cheng Chao, Fang Zhiyuan, and Shen Wanjun and said, "What are you waiting for? Take your portions."

Shen Wanjun beamed and said, "Boss, I got a share too? Consider it a token of my respect for you."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "It's okay, take your share. You won it, you don't need to give it to me."

Shen Wanjun chuckled and said, "Boss, you're so great! I'll do anything for you from now on, even go through fire and water."

Cheng Chao took his share and then gave Zheng Xing'an his, saying, "Wife, everything I own from now on is yours."

Zheng Xing'an didn't stand on ceremony, carefully putting the bag away and saying, "Just let me know when you need it."

"Okay, I got it!"

Fang Zhiyuan excited. "100,000! I made 100,000 in one go, hahaha! Brother Gu, your sister is amazing!"

Gu Sinian smiled and said, "She's always been very good at it; no one who bets with her has ever won."

Fang Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Really? Then I've hit the jackpot today! Tonight it's my treat, let's celebrate!"

The rest were all carried away by Zhou Wanwan's men.

Madam Nie looked at her subordinates and said:

"When this brat moved in with us, none of these people were with her. How come they've been appearing and disappearing like ghosts?"

And why would someone carry so much gold and silver jewelry with them?

These people, of course, had no idea that these were Zhou Wanwan's personal guards, who usually lived in the trees.

Then there were those trees that protected her, near the Shen Clan's residence, and she did indeed carry those gold and silver treasures with her.
