Chapter 631 - 633: Psychological Warfare
But after some consideration, Ms. Xing Mengzheng still followed.
Another round of cards was dealt, and Aunt Yu still had the largest hand, a Spade Q.
Zhang Zifa glanced at their cards.
Xing Mengzheng had Diamond 3, Diamond 4, Diamond 6.
Mo Shu had Plum Flower 9, Plum Flower J, Plum Flower K.
Aunt Yu’s hand was much better, consisting of Spade A, Spade K, Spade Q.
And Zhang Zifa had the worst hand, a Plum Flower 10, Diamond 9, Spade 3, and the bottom card was a K.
Covering her cards, Zhang Zifa scoffed, "I’m out!"
Before the player with the largest hand could speak, Zhang Zifa had already given up.
Aunt Yu glanced at the hands of Mo Shu and Xing Mengzheng and realized they both had a flush, with Xing Mengzheng’s cards even forming a sequence!
Seeing their expressions, which lacked any significant nervousness, Aunt Yu suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
Her own hand looked the largest and was also sequential, but her bottom card was an A, at most making a pair.
If their hands were a flush or even a straight flush, wouldn’t she definitely lose?
But this game was all about psychological warfare.
What if they were just bluffing to scare her?
Aunt Yu observed their expressions, her heart uncertain.
But Mo Shu seemed unfazed. Aunt Yu tentatively said, "My dear niece-in-law, your cards look pretty good, don’t they?"
"Ah, really?" Mo Shu appeared somewhat clueless, "I can’t tell, but I’ll stick with you to the end," she said, smiling sweetly, "Aunt Yu, with the largest hand, could it be a straight flush?"
Aunt Yu became cautious, "You say you don’t understand, how would you know about a straight flush?"
Mo Shu grinned, "Haven’t eaten pork but have seen pigs run, plus you seem so happy, it must likely be a straight flush."
"That’s right," Aunt Yu, visibly excited, blurted out, "Just telling you the truth, if another Spade comes, it’s either a flush or a straight flush, I’ll raise another two million! Are you following or not?"
Aunt Yu appeared joyful on the surface but was actually very nervous inside.
Although Xing Mengzheng’s were all Diamonds and numerically small, at least they formed a flush and were sequential.
Mo Shu’s weren’t sequential, but they were all flushes too.
If their luck was just a bit better, they could both win.
"Of course, I’ll follow," Mo Shu said innocently, "As I said, I’m sticking with you to the end. I wasn’t planning to win; as long as Aunt Yu is happy, that’s enough for me."
Look, how sensible those words were.
That flattery was exceptionally smooth.
Aunt Yu was extremely pleased, giving an approving look, "You are indeed smarter and more understanding than my nephew. He’s lucky to have you."
Mo Shu’s smile widened while the surrounding aunts cast curious glances at Mo Shu.
Xing Mengzheng also increased her bet, and when the last card was dealt, Aunt Yu’s anxiety lessened considerably.
It was a K!
With her bottom card, she now had a pair of A’s and a pair of K’s, two pairs!
Xing Mengzheng, meanwhile, had a Diamond 10.
When Aunt Yu saw it, her heart skipped a beat. Could Xing Mengzheng, so quietly, have a flush?
At Mo Shu’s end, there was also another Q, giving her two Q’s on the board.
From the look of the cards, Aunt Yu’s was still the largest.
Trying to contain her unease, she asked, "Sister-in-law, could you possibly have a flush?"
Xing Mengzheng’s smile was radiant, ever so composed, "Indeed."
Aunt Yu: "I don’t believe it, if it was a flush, why would you admit it? You must be lying to me!"
