Chapter 629 - 631: Do You Look Down on Your Aunt?
When Yu Nana called her like that, Mo Shu had to respond; otherwise, she would gain a reputation for disrespecting her elders.
She had just married into the family and still had to deal with all sorts of relatives from the Yu Family for a lifetime.
After sitting down, Yu Nana asked, "Mo Shu, do you play?"
Mo Shu shook her head honestly, "No, I never gamble."
"Oh, but I see your dad is always around these kinds of places, haven’t you learned a thing or two from him?" Aunt Yu’s obvious sarcasm came through, "The other day he was gambling with my husband, they say he lost a lot."
"Is that so," Mo Shu remained expressionless, "If he’s lost, then he’s lost; as long as he’s happy, that’s good."
Happy indeed?
Who are you kidding?
Everyone knew how strained the relationship was between Mo Shu and Mo Jiantao; Aunt Yu wasn’t bringing up Mo Jiantao to get such an answer and continued, "It seems like your dad often loses, his luck is just so bad. I heard he lost five or six million last time; he was so distressed his eyes were red, and he even threw a tantrum... You didn’t know, did you?"
Mo Shu truly didn’t know.
But five or six million?
There wasn’t that much money in Mo Jiantao’s personal account.
After giving Aunt Yu a glance, Mo Shu smiled faintly, "His luck indeed isn’t very good."
"Right," Aunt Yu’s face carried a ’just as I thought’ expression, "If you’re that unlucky, why keep playing cards? Isn’t that just throwing money away? Oh, even if the Mo Family is rich, you still shouldn’t squander it like that, right?"
Mo Shu’s eyes swept over, her smile tinged with mockery, "It’s not a lot of money; let him have his fun how he likes."
Aunt Yu felt secretly resentful inside.
Five or six million, not a lot of money?
She knew how thrilled she was inside, having just won three million.
This Mo Shu, wasn’t she blatantly slapping her face?
Zhang Zifa covered her mouth and laughed, giving Mo Shu an approving look before asking Aunt Yu, "Didn’t you want to gamble; how would you like to play?"
"However we usually play," Aunt Yu got a bit excited talking about gambling, "Since Mo Shu doesn’t know how, we’ll play something simple, let’s play Texas Hold’em, everyone knows the rules, and I figure a clever person like our niece by marriage will get the hang of it as soon as she sees it, right?"
Seeing Aunt Yu so happy, Mo Shu cooperatively asked, "How do you play Texas Hold’em?"
Aunt Yu looked at her genuinely clueless expression, her smile deepening, "It’s really simple; first, you deal two cards, a hole card and a face-up card. Whoever has the higher card speaks, and to speak means to bet. If your hole card is bigger than others’, you can bet a bit more. It’s very simple; just watch and you’ll learn."
Mo Shu appeared a little embarrassed, "Maybe I shouldn’t play after all, Aunt Yu, you play with Mom and the other aunts, I’ll just watch."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yu became anxious, "How can that be? You’ve just married into the family, why not join your aunt in a game? Are you looking down on your aunt?"
Finding such a tender lamb was rare; Mo Jiantao had notoriously bad luck, infamous for always losing in gambling, so everyone was eager to play with him.
Even though Mo Jiantao lost, he was very prompt in paying up.
As Mo Jiantao’s daughter, Mo Shu had an air of wealth about her, who else would they fleece if not her?
"This..." Mo Shu pretended to hesitate before saying, "Alright then, but you must go easy on me, Aunt."
Aunt Yu was overjoyed, "Don’t worry, I certainly will!"
