Chapter 1229. It Was the First Time He Saw Her Smile so Brightly Because of Him


    Its because of bad luck. Nian Junting felt humiliated, Do you think I want to y the game now? I dont. But if I quit the game, Id look like a coward. I cannot let that happen. I have already lost my face, so I cannot lose my reputation too.


    Luosang sighed. While transferring money to his ount, sheined saying, I dont know what you guys are thinking. He is a physicist and an astronomer. When you guys were still trying to solve Olympiad math problems, he was already calcting universe data. Youre disying your slight skills before an expert. What gave you confidence? Your history of being a good student?


    Nian Junting stayed silent. He recalled telling her that morning, that that he was good at studying.


    Luo, Im good to go. Dont worry. Ill try my best to earn my money back.


    Once the money arrived in his ount, he left as quickly as possible.


    The game wasnt over until Sister Lan told everybody that dinner was ready.


    Nian Junting, Xiao Si, and Mo Liuxi seemed to be relieved. Mo Liuxi usually didnt care about losing money, but he had lost too much today.


    Junting, dont ever invite me to y cards with this guy again, thank you, said Xiao Si. He was even shambling when leaving. He had lost a lot.


    Nian Juntings face was as cold as ice. He gave Jiang Yuning a frosty nce, then walked away.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, then turned to Nian Xi and said, I think people dont like me.


    Its okay. I like you. Nian Xi really liked him at that moment.


    How could such a smart person exist in this world? She was so lucky.


    Jiang Yuning blushed. He hurriedly pushed the thick stack of money on the table toward her and said, I won this money and I still have some in my WeChat ount. Ill transfer the money to youter.


    No. Nian Xi quickly shook her head and said, You won the money yourself. You should keep it.


    But I won it for you, said Jiang Yuning. What can I do with all this money? Maybe I should give it back to the others.


    After saying that, he stood up. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, Why? They never gave me a refund when they won money from me. Forget it, Ill take the money. Wow. I havent held so much money since my Mom cut my allowance. Im going shopping!


    Seeing her happy face, Jiang Yuning felt sweet in his heart.


    It was the first time he saw her smile so brightly because of him. He felt as if he finally figured out what he could do for her.


    Thank you. After spending a few seconds feeling thrilled, Nian Xi raised her head and said to him, Ive never won so much money. I always lose in card games, and my brother has always bullied me.


    Why did he bully you? Jiang Yuning didnt understand. Arent you his little sister?


    Some brothers bully their little sisters for pleasure. Nian Xi sighed.


    Its okay. If he ever bullies you again, you cane to me, said Jiang Yuning with a smile. I wont let anyone bully you.


    If those words came out of someone elses mouth, Nian Xi wouldnt believe them. However, when Jiang Yuning said those words, Nian Xi felt touched and safe. He wasnt exaggerating at all. She felt that she finally had someone to rely on. After all, Jiang Yuning was much smarter than her brother.


    Facing Jiang Yuning, her brother had nothing to show off.


    Before dinner, Jiang Yuning was still helping Nian Xi count the money instead of going to the dining room.


    The other guests had sat down at the table. They all learned about what happened in the afternoon and felt deep pity for Nian Junting and the other two.


    Its all right. Mo Jinforted the three of them. You are all rich. You shouldnt care about losing money.
