Chapter 481: The Great King and the Little King

“A 3!”

When Huo Jun threw the card, he almost jumped up.

Jinglan’s apartment was almost within reach.

Miss Lu surely wouldn’t want it, and even if she did, since it was a joint victory, she ought to compensate him with some money.

He was short on cash recently, and so was his family, or else his father wouldn’t have sought help from Huo Linxi’s father.

He tried to signal to Lu Zhenzhen with his eyes, but Nan Jiaojiao had to play her card first.

“Small joker.” Nan Jiaojiao laid a single card lightly on top of the stack she had previously played.

Huo Jun’s expression changed abruptly.

Lu Zhenzhen laughed, “Can’t follow.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked at Huo Jun.

Huo Jun was still in shock.

He wanted to swear, but when his gaze caught Bo Yanching sitting behind Nan Jiaojiao, he forcefully suppressed his anger, “Didn’t you call ‘pairs’?”

At the end of each round, if you’re getting close to running out of cards, by the rules you must call out.

If you have a pair of cards left, you have to tell your opponents by calling ‘pairs’, and if it’s only one card, you must say ‘single’.

Nan Jiaojiao: “Did I call out?”

“Whether you called out or not, you had two cards left, so it should have been ‘pairs’!”

Nan Jiaojiao slapped the remaining card down on the table, and gave Huo Jun a cold look, plainly indicating that she was done playing.

If he liked making arrangements so much, he could do it himself.

Huo Jun swallowed hard, staring intently at that card, “I didn’t mean that, just felt…

so you’re calling ‘single’ now, right?”

Nan Jiaojiao replied indifferently, “Yes.”

“Okay, okay, you call ‘single’.”

Huo Jun weighed his options.

He still didn’t know what cards Lu Zhenzhen held—five remaining.

If four of them could make a bomb, then no one could beat her cards at this point, and the very last one, even the smallest number, would win.

He wanted Lu Zhenzhen to give him a hint, but either she didn’t see it, or she sensed it and intentionally ignored him.

Huo Jun gritted his teeth and played a 2.

This was already the biggest single number.

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t possibly have a bigger card, unless she was cheating.

“Big joker.”

Nan Jiaojiao flipped over the facedown card.

A colorful ghost card.

A smile spread across Bo Yanching’s lips, his expression holding a touch of indulgence, “You’re really cheeky.”

Nan Jiaojiao dodged to the side, avoiding Bo Yanching’s hand tousling her hair, and shot him a look.

The man conscientiously straightened the messed-up tuft of hair for her.

Lu Zhenzhen laughed loudly, “I lost, the racetrack is yours.”

She tossed her cards down.

Huo Jun saw everything, and it suddenly dawned on him that the single cards Lu Zhenzhen had left were all previously played ones.

She had split her pairs!

Intentionally claiming she only had single cards left, Huo Jun played pairs several times, only to be suppressed by Nan Jiaojiao.

Even though Lu Zhenzhen could follow, she chose to hold back her cards.

Nan Jiaojiao was no saint either; she had a pair of jokers that she could have played together but chose to split and play them separately.

“Nice, so you teamed up to play me!”

“You guys!”

Huo Jun pointed angrily, his hand raised without direction, inadvertently pointing at Nan Jiaojiao’s face.

Subconsciously he felt it was less risky to offend Nan Jiaojiao than Lu Zhenzhen.

At least he hadn’t heard of Bo Yanching having a public girlfriend, so he presumed the relationship with this woman was casual.

“I’m not giving up Mountain Villa, it’s clear you set a trap for me!”

At these words, dark pupils narrowed, a chilling light flared within.

Bo Yanching also raised his head, his cool gaze moving inch by inch up to Huo Jun’s face, surrounded by an intimidating low barometric pressure.

Huo Linxi caught a glimpse of Bo Yanching out of the corner of his eye, and shuddered with fear, bellowing sternly, “Huo Jun, shut up!”
