After all this happened, John Jiang came back after finishing her hair in the toilet for four or five minutes.

As soon as he sat down, Michael Shen said: "Mr. Xiao Jiang, do you want to buy some for the finals? My cousin has already bought it from me."

As his true cousin, John Jiang rolled his eyes at him and asked curiously: "Zachary Cheng, what did you buy?"

"I bought Germany and Argentina 1:0." Zachary Cheng said frankly.

He knew that John Jiang would soon ask him how much he bought, so he took the lead and continued: "If I believe Brother Cheng, I will buy it."

"I trust you, but you don't understand football." John Jiang said angrily.

Michael Shen asked: "Mr. Xiao Jiang, do you want to buy it or not?"

"Buy, just buy Germany and Argentina 1:0, buy two thousand." John Jiang said.

He doesn't understand anything. He doesn't understand anything about odds or courage, and he doesn't care.

He just follows and buys and feels more involved.

"Oh, don't you believe me?" Zachary Cheng said with a smile.

"I don't believe you, it's me who has a vague intuition!" John Jiang said: "You're lucky, so I'll buy it too. I'll give you a luck boost, and you'll definitely win."

Zachary Cheng shrugged, noncommittal.

He knew John Jiang's temperament and knew that he would definitely buy exactly the same thing as him.

The purpose is to be emotionally unified in the end. If we lose, we will curse together, and if we win, we will be happy together.

Zachary Cheng naturally wouldn't talk much and asked him to buy more, even though John Jiang must have enough capital.

"Small gambling makes you happy, big gambling hurts your health, gambling on dogs will bring you a bad death."

"Just have fun, don't let him taste too much sweetness and get off to a bad start." Zachary Cheng thought to himself.

He personally insists that those who gamble on dogs will not die a good death.

"But this is not gambling. Not knowing whether to win or lose is gambling. This is pure cheating."

"Exclusively for idiots, don't learn from idiots."

After Michael Shen helped John Jiang place a good bet, he immediately said to his sister with a smile on his face: "Xiao Ning, I'll buy some for you. If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine."

"No need." Serena Shen said directly.

"It's okay, otherwise you would be bored here. I won't buy more for you, just buy the same ones as Mr. Xiao Jiang." Michael Shen insisted on pleasing his sister.

As mentioned before, Michael Shen is straightforward and loves to show off. His sister is so beautiful and has such a good temperament, which makes him more famous in the circle, so he still favors Serena Shen and feels that no one around him is worthy of being a brother-in-law.

As a man, he understands men too well.

You guys still want to chase my sister, what are you dreaming about?

Seeing how insistent he was, Serena Shen didn't say much.

"Whatever you want, send me home before twelve o'clock. If you want to watch the game, come back by yourself." She said to Michael Shen.

The finals didn't start until 3 a.m., and she couldn't bear it. It was not good for her skin.

"Okay, you see, I didn't even take a sip of wine." Michael Shen said with a playful smile.

Everyone was talking to each other so much that John Jiang temporarily forgot to ask Zachary Cheng how much he bought the ball.

On Li Lina's side, on the other hand, Rachel Chen said with a troubled face: "I kind of want to watch the finals here, but I can't go home so late."

She knew nothing about football, but after all she had invested five hundred yuan and felt that the atmosphere in the bar was quite good, she wanted to jump on this trend.

She had just posted a post on her WeChat Moments about buying football, and had blocked all her family members. A dozen boys had left messages there. She liked the feeling of having a common topic with the boys.

"Then you make a call later and tell me you'll stay at my house today." Lina Li said.

"Yeah!"

Of course, Lina Li will also lie to her parents later that she will stay at Rachel Chen 's house today.

Ray Li listened with great joy, which meant that he was the first man to accompany Lina Li to play outside until dawn!

He even started to feel sweet.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Serena Shen stood up and asked Michael Shen to take her home first.

"Mr. Xiao Jiang, cousin, I'll come back as soon as I go!" Michael Shen said with a smile.

After Serena Shen got up, she said a few words to Michael Shen, and then went straight to the bathroom.

Michael Shen went to the bar first to look at the general ledger of the bar tonight.

Lina Li had been observing this side. When Rachel Chen saw Michael Shen walking into the bar, she couldn't help but said, "Why did he walk in and still talk to the waiter?"

"Could this person be the boss here?" Rachel Chen made a bold guess.

After speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Ray Li .

After all, Ray Li said on the way here that he was very familiar with Jiuyin's boss.

Ray Li 's expression changed drastically, and he said wisely in a hurry: "Maybe he is also one of the shareholders, but he is not the boss I know."

Rachel Chen and Lina Li looked at each other, and the two girls began to discuss in low voices again, discussing why Zachary Cheng sat at the same table as Jiuyin's shareholders.

In fact, what Rachel Chen gossiped about the most was the woman sitting opposite Zachary Cheng. Her appearance and temperament were so outstanding that she was definitely a goddess in school.

And she looked like a flower of wealth in the world, with a strong aura of gold.

But Rachel Chen was smart enough not to talk to Lina Li about this.

"Hey, why did Zachary Cheng stand up? Oh, he went to the bathroom." Rachel Chen said like a war reporter.

Lina Li suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go and have a few words with him!"

With a calm face, she walked quickly towards the bathroom.

Ray Li looked at this scene and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He felt panicked for a moment.

Outside the bathroom, Zachary Cheng was stopped by Li Lina.

"Zachary Cheng! What are you doing in the bar?" Lina Li said as soon as she came up.

Zachary Cheng glanced at her, ignored her, and continued walking towards the men's room.

The bathroom area is separated from the outside world by a curtain, which makes Lina Li more bold in speaking and doing things.

She pulled Zachary Cheng directly and asked angrily: "What is your attitude!"

Zachary Cheng looked at her speechlessly, feeling that this little fairy had a serious problem in her head.

"Sure enough, people are different." He said in his heart.

In his previous life, he had seen some girls at about the same age who were so "sensible" that they would hug his neck tightly, then put their mouths to his ears and say: "It doesn't matter inside, I will take the medicine myself."

But there are also some girls who are so domineering that they never think there is anything wrong with them.

The two quarreled this time because Lina Li got a "Boyfriend Answer Sheet" from Weibo and asked Zachary Cheng to answer the questions. Then she would correct the answers, give him points, and said that if he failed, he would be better!

Zachary Cheng took a look at the bursting questions and instantly lost interest in answering them.

It's all the weird questions like "Your mother and I fell into the water together, who do you save first?"

Zachary Cheng didn't want to do this kind of answer sheet, and Lina Li got mad at the words you said to me.

Later, she started to break up again, but this time Zachary Cheng didn't tolerate her.

At this moment, Zachary Cheng stood there and stared at Lina Li until he saw her let go of the hand holding Zachary Cheng's clothes.

For some reason, Lina Li felt a little panicked when she met his gaze. She felt that Zachary Cheng's eyes were different from before, but she couldn't tell.

"It's okay to do something when we were in love. Now that we've broken up, let's get together and relax, okay?" He said calmly.

"Is it because of this?" Li Lina's temper got worse again and she glared angrily.

Of course it's not just because of this, but it's not a long-distance relationship yet, and the subsequent events haven't unfolded yet.

At this time, Serena Shen walked out of the women's restroom. After a casual look here, she didn't say anything and went to wash her hands at the sink, treating the two of them like nothing.

Lina Li suddenly felt uncomfortable again and did not continue to speak.

After all, Serena Shen's aura was there, too aloof.

On the contrary, Zachary Cheng didn't care at all. To him, it was the same whether there was anyone around him. He shrugged and said with a smile, "Yes, just because of this. I've mentioned this issue before, right?"

"If you still can't remember it after saying it several times, forget it. If I make you unhappy, it will also appear that I'm not generous." After saying that, he stopped looking at Lina Li and turned around and walked into the men's room.

After washing her hands, Serena Shen took out a tissue and carefully wiped the water droplets on her slender fingers.

"What he just said is quite interesting." The goddess-level senior from the Polytechnic University said in her heart.
