Gender-swapped Beautiful Girl, the Godly Rich System Takes Me to New Heights!

265: Welcome, welcome!”Everything I just said... was nonsense! Just treat me like a fart and let me go! I beg you, please don’t be angry, and please don’t let my foolish words affect your opinion of Su Qing and Su Ya... They are good children, and they listen to you...”

Wenchalong spoke while cautiously observing Lei Jun’s expression. Seeing that Lei Jun still showed no emotion, he grew even more panicked and nearly knelt down.

Su Qing and Su Ya also pleaded from the side: ”Miss Lei, please forgive our father this time. He is truly confused in his old age!”

”Miss Lei, you are a person of great magnanimity...”

Su Cha also bowed deeply: ”Miss Lei, all the faults belong to my father. I formally apologize to you on his behalf! Please be lenient!”

Lei Jun’s anger subsided slightly, giving face to Su Qing and Su Ya.

After all, this was Su Qing and Su Ya’s father, and if the situation became too tense, it would be extremely difficult for Su Qing and Su Ya caught in the middle.

She admired the sisters and did not want to make things difficult for them.

Wenchalong’s cowardice and shortsightedness, though infuriating, were also somewhat pathetic.

Taking him seriously would only make her look petty.

Thinking this, Lei Jun gently let out a breath.

”Forget it.”

She glanced at Su Qing and Su Ya, who were tear-stained and nervously watching her, and then at Su Cha, who was still bowing, and added.

”For the sake of Su Qing and Su Ya, I’ll let it go this time. I don’t want there to be a next time.”

Hearing Lei Jun say ”Forget it,” Wenchalong felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and he repeatedly bowed and nodded: ”Thank you, Miss Lei! Thank you, Miss Lei, for your generosity! There will absolutely never be a next time! I promise!”

He quickly wiped the beads of cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. The heavy stone in his heart finally dropped, but his back was already soaked.

He secretly rejoiced that Miss Lei did not seem to be the type to be petty or hold grudges, otherwise, this situation truly couldn’t have been resolved today.

At the same time, he was filled with lingering fear and dared never again to underestimate the young Silver-haired Girl.

Su Qing, Su Ya, and Su Cha also let out long sighs of relief, their anxious hearts finally settling down.

They were even more grateful to Lei Jun, knowing that she had given them immense face.

At the same time, their resentment and disappointment toward their father grew deeper... Just as the awkward atmosphere in the courtyard eased slightly, Atapong’s commanding tone came from the card table area.

”Su Cha, Su Qing! Someone’s missing over here, come over and play a couple of rounds with us!”

Several younger relatives who usually kept close to him or wanted to curry favor with him had gathered there, and he was calling them over.

When Wenchalong heard this, he immediately smiled obsequiously, as if he had received a Royal Decree.

”Ah! Good! Good! Go ahead and play, Atapong!”

He turned and looked at his three children.

”Quick, one of you go over and play cards with Atapong! He called for you; it would be disrespectful not to go!”

Su Cha, Su Qing, and Su Ya immediately frowned upon hearing this.

They were still furious over Atapong’s humiliation and their father’s cowardice, so how could they possibly be in the mood to go play cards with that jerk?

The three of them simultaneously turned their heads, pretending not to hear.

Wenchalong grew anxious upon seeing this, and his face became unpleasant.

”You... don’t be like this! Just do it for Dad, okay? If you don’t go and show him this respect, Dad... Dad won’t be able to lift his head in front of all these relatives! It was embarrassing enough just now, don’t make things harder for Dad, I’m begging you!”

Su Cha was burning with anger and was just about to stiffen his neck and refuse when suddenly... a clear, calm voice interjected.

”May I play a round with you?”

Everyone was startled. Following the sound, they saw Lei Jun step forward, her gaze bypassing Wenchalong and fixing on Atapong by the card table.

Lei Jun’s spontaneous request to join the card game was not an impulse.

She had disliked Atapong for a long time.

From his initial flaunting of the audi, to defaulting on debts and then unjustly blaming others, and finally to publicly humiliating an elder, this person’s arrogance, shamelessness, and depravity had made her utterly disgusted.

Playing cards?

Gambling?

She had recently acquired the God-level Gambling Skill and was worried she hadn’t had a chance to test it out, or rather, no opportunity to put it to use.

Using this to teach a lesson to this arrogant upstart was simply perfect.

She could severely curb Atapong’s arrogance, make him lose some money, and ideally make him thoroughly embarrass himself in public, which would indirectly help Su Qing and the others vent their frustration.

Therefore, she stepped forward.

Atapong was startled when he heard Lei Jun’s words, but then fell into ecstasy.

He had been fretting over not having another opportunity to approach the Silver-haired Beauty who occupied his every thought!

During the earlier conflict, the beauty’s cold, disdainful look had made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, but now the beauty was actually asking to play cards with him?

This was practically a gift from heaven!

He barely thought about it, immediately put on what he believed was his most dashing smile, and nodded repeatedly.

”Yes, absolutely, welcome, welcome! Miss Lei, it is our honor that you would grace us with your presence! Please, sit down! Please, sit down!”

He hastily pulled out a chair next to him, acting as solicitous as a waiter.

Playing cards at the same table as such a stunning beauty was a feast for the eyes, and perhaps he could seize the opportunity to flirt, show off his Card Skills and wealth, and recover some impression points.

He could almost see the scene where Lei Jun was impressed by his superb Card Skills and looked at him with admiration.

His wife, Nala, was sitting on his other side. Seeing her husband’s solicitous manner and Lei Jun’s face, which made her mad with jealousy, she angrily pinched Atapong’s thigh hard under the table, making Atapong wince in pain.

But Atapong’s mind was entirely focused on Lei Jun at the moment. Though the pain was physical, he was joyful inside, and he completely ignored his wife’s jealousy, merely pushing her hand away impatiently.

Lei Jun ignored Atapong’s enthusiasm, walking coolly to the card table. She did not take the chair Atapong had pulled out, but instead casually sat in an empty seat opposite him.

Su Qing, Su Ya, and Su Cha immediately followed her. The looks they gave Atapong were filled with undisguised disgust and vigilance.

Atapong was in a good mood now, and he wasn’t annoyed by Lei Jun refusing his seat. Seeing Su Cha and the others glaring at him from behind, he found it amusing, sneering internally, A bunch of paupers.

He couldn’t be bothered to argue, keeping his full attention on Lei Jun.

”Miss Lei, what would you like to play?” Atapong asked with a smile, trying to make his voice sound gentle and polite.

Lei Jun looked up at him, her tone flat: ”Whatever. What do you usually play?”

Atapong’s eyes darted around. He thought they should play something exciting to show off his boldness.

He said cheekily, ”Let’s play golden flower. It’s simple and exciting—betting and calling, with no upper limit. That’s the most fun. What do you think, Miss Lei?”
