Chapter 83: Showing Off Love, Dying Fast (11)
Lili never expected Shi Che to be so harsh, her smiling face freezing in an instant, her entire being petrified. The host of the event hadn’t anticipated Shi Che’s reaction either and was momentarily stunned. But having battled in the business world, he was quick to react and immediately waved Lili away, "Right, with your vulgar and gaudy appearance, President Shi wouldn’t spare you a glance. Go on, get lost, don’t obstruct President Shi’s view."
Tears suddenly veiled Lili’s wide eyes, on the verge of crying but daring not to let the tears fall. She obediently shrank back into a corner.
Seeing this, the host knew Shi Che was really in a bad mood that night and dared not make any more casual arrangements.
A few men started to play cards, and Shi Che’s luck wasn’t good that night; he kept picking up mediocre hands. But the other three were cunning, fully aware of Shi Che’s foul mood. They deliberately lost, making it look like they were struggling. As a consequence, after several games, it was Shi Che who kept winning.
Shi Che was already irritated, and seeing the three others acting so smugly with their little tricks only added to his irritation. He pushed the cards in front of him away and said with a cold voice, "I’m done playing, you guys go ahead."
With that, he stood up and walked over to the sofa, sat down, picked up a glass of red wine from the table, and downed it in one gulp.
The three men at the card table looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had just happened, unaware of why Shi Che was still in such a poor mood even though they had let him win.
