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

325: Uncle, are you having dinner at my house again tonight?Songphong quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Su Cha: “Su Cha, thank you. Let’s end the card game here. We won’t bet anymore, we won’t bet anymore.”

After speaking, he turned and winked at Atapong and Nala, urging them, “What are you standing around for? Hurry up and collect the stakes!”

Atapong and Nala finally reacted and quickly turned to collect the stakes on the table.

Nala’s hands were trembling. As she collected the money, she calculated in her heart how she would spend it once she took it home.

She had previously worried that Su Cha would keep the stakes. Now, not only did he not keep them, but he also let them take everything back. It was incredibly lucky.

Just as Atapong and Nala were about to finish collecting the stakes, Su Mei suddenly stepped out of the crowd, put her hands on her hips, and shouted at them.

“Wait! Your business with Su Cha might be finished, but the bets you placed with us haven’t been settled yet!”

This sentence instantly froze Atapong and Nala’s movements, and the smiles on their faces solidified.

Nala’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Su Mei, forcing out a strained smile: “Su Mei, what... what do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” Su Mei sneered. “A group of us followed your bet for over three million. Now that your game with Su Cha is over, what about our stakes? You have to compensate us!”

“Three million?” Nala’s face instantly went pale, and her legs felt weak.

She had been so focused on being happy just now that she completely forgot that other people had also placed bets following them.

Three million was not a small amount. How could she possibly produce it?

The ecstasy in Atapong’s heart vanished instantly without a trace.

He looked at Su Mei, frowning, and said, “Su Mei, we already agreed with Su Cha that the card game is over. Why do we still have to compensate your stakes?”

“We didn’t agree with you!” Su Mei insisted relentlessly. “We placed bets following you. Now that you’ve won, you want to leave? How could there be such a good deal? Either you return our stakes, or you split half of the winning money with us!”

The people around who had followed the bet also chimed in.

“That’s right! Su Mei is right! Our stakes can’t just be forgotten!”

“You have to pay us back!”

Nala looked at the angry eyes of the people around her, trembling all over in fear.

She knew she couldn’t produce three million. If she couldn’t, these people definitely wouldn’t let her go.

She quickly walked up to Su Mei and pleaded, “Su Mei, please, just let us go. Su Cha has already let us off. We really can’t come up with three million.

If worst comes to worst, I’ll pour a drink and apologize to everyone. Can we just forget about this three million, okay?”

She spoke while wiping away tears, looking utterly pitiful.

She could only hope now that Su Mei and the others would soften their hearts and let her off the hook.

Atapong stood by the side, unable to utter a single word.

He felt some regret in his heart, thinking he shouldn’t have been so happy so soon. Now, another problem had arisen.

Su Mei looked at Nala’s pitiful appearance but showed no sign of softening.

“No way! What good is an apology? Can it be spent like money? You must pay back this three million today!”

The others also started heckling.

“Right! You must pay! Don’t think about leaving if you don’t pay!”

Nala cried even harder, feeling anxious and afraid, unsure of what to do.

She turned to look at Atapong, hoping he could find a solution, but Atapong was equally helpless, having no idea how to deal with the situation.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Su Cha stepped forward and called out to Su Mei: “Enough, Su Mei, stop scaring Sister-in-Law Nala. Say a couple more words and she’ll be rolling on the floor proclaiming injustice.”

Su Mei was stunned for a moment and said discontentedly, “Brother, why are you still defending her? We bet three million!”

Su Cha waved his hand: “We’re all family; there’s no need to make things so tense. Let’s forget about the money, but don’t ever engage in this kind of betting again.”

When Nala heard Su Cha’s words, her crying instantly stopped.

She looked up, gazing at Su Cha through tear-filled eyes, full of gratitude. She hadn’t expected Su Cha to speak up for her, and the stone hanging in her heart finally dropped.

She repeatedly thanked Su Cha: “Thank you, Su Cha, thank you. You really are a good person.”

After speaking, she looked at Su Mei and the others, carefully adding, “Then... then it’s settled, you can’t ask me for money again!”

Su Mei wanted to say something more, but Su Cha shot her a glare, forcing her to swallow her words. She huffed unwillingly: “I’m letting you off this time only because of my brother!”

Seeing that Su Cha had spoken, the others felt it inappropriate to insist further. They nodded one after another and remained silent.

The matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, and the atmosphere in the room eased considerably.

Wenchalong walked up to Atapong, patted his shoulder, and earnestly instructed him, “Atapong, consider this a lesson learned. From now on, just enjoy some recreation with the family, but you absolutely must never gamble again! Gambling harms both oneself and others. If you fall into it, your whole life will be ruined.”

Atapong nodded heavily, his heart full of gratitude: “First Uncle, I understand. I will never gamble again. Thank you so much this time. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know how messy this situation would have become.”

He had genuinely taken Wenchalong’s words to heart.

After today’s incident, he also understood that family ties were more important than anything, and gambling was truly something that should never be touched.

It wouldn’t be worth it if he ruined his own family because of gambling.

Lei Jun looked at Atapong’s sincere appearance and thought to herself, hoping that this time he was genuinely repentant and not just paying lip service.

But this was someone else’s business, and she couldn’t interfere.

Songphong also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was settled.

He glanced at the stakes collected on the table and winked at Atapong and Nala, signaling them to quickly secure the winnings.

Nala understood and quickly picked up the bag containing the stakes, hugging it tightly to her chest, afraid of any further mishaps.

This time, no one stopped her.

Su Cha looked at Songphong, smiled, and asked, “Second Uncle, are you still eating dinner at my place tonight? I’ll ask Pinya to cook a few extra dishes.”

Songphong was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and quickly waved his hand: “No, no, Su Cha, we won’t trouble you. We have things to attend to at home, so we’ll head back first.”

Right now, he just wanted to quickly take his son and daughter-in-law away from here to avoid any more trouble.

After speaking, he turned to the others in the room and said with a smile, “Everyone, please come to our house for dinner tomorrow! Everyone must come; I’ll have the family prepare well!”

He wanted to use this opportunity to thank everyone for their tolerance today and also to ease the tension in his relationship with them.
