"Excuse me... can you let me say something?"
Just as Yu Linling was furious and the live stream audience was indignant, Shen Lang, who had been silent, spoke.
Shen Lang looked at Yu Linling and smiled, "I know a little medicine. If I'm not mistaken, she's not poisoned, she just needs to go to the bathroom."
"What?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, whether it was Yu Linling, Yang Ce, Ah Xiu, or Wang Yuyan, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Kid, you think I'd believe that?"
Yu Linling was stunned for a moment, then furious, "Are you treating me like an idiot?"
"Uh... Sister Linling, actually, he's right."
After Yu Linling finished speaking, Wanwan, enduring the pain, said, "I'm not used to the climate, and I ate a spicy crayfish tonight, so I got an upset stomach."
With that, Wanwan looked at Shen Lang, not sparing any praise, "Amazing, you figured that out. Ah, no, I can't hold it anymore. I'll pause the game and continue after I go to the restroom."
After speaking, Wanwan stood up and rushed towards the casino's restroom.
"This..."
Seeing this, not only Yu Linling was stunned, but Yang Ce, Ah Xiu, and Wang Yuyan were all dumbfounded.
And while Wanwan was speaking, the live stream had resumed, and those who had been scolding Yang Ce were utterly bewildered.
No one could have imagined that the truth was this.
However, regarding scolding Yang Ce, there were no apologies in the live stream comments.
As if! Why would they apologize? Had they been wrong to scold Yang Ce?
Yang Ce must have intended to harm Wanwan, but he just hadn't found an opportunity.
Although Yang Ce was innocent, it didn't mean he was guiltless.
"Next time, stay calm and don't be so irritable."
After Wanwan left, the casino staff immediately sealed the cards on the table with a transparent cover.
Shen Lang stood up from his seat and looked at Yu Linling, whose pretty face was as cold as ice, "There aren't that many good people in this world, but there aren't that many bad people either. Don't always think of the world as so dark."
"Are you telling me what to do?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Linling sneered, "In this world, besides Young Master Kong, no one is qualified to tell me what to do. You are not worthy."
"Sigh... I don't know what kind of love potion that bastard Kong Wudao fed you to make you so loyal."
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Some people haven't seen rivers, so they think streams are the most beautiful. Some people can see the entire autumn from a fallen leaf."
"Kong Wudao might be an extraordinary powerhouse in your eyes, but in my eyes, he is nothing."
"One day you'll understand that the Kong Wudao you revere as a god will become a clown in borrowed robes if he encounters me."
"So, instead of being loyal to him, you might as well betray him and be loyal to me now. Whatever Kong Wudao can give you, I can not only give you, but ten times more."
"Shut up—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Linling immediately shouted, "Shen Lang, how dare you compare yourself to Young Master Kong?"
"If Young Master Kong is the sun and moon in the sky, you are merely a firefly on the ground. Your light is never on the same level. How can the light of an insect contend with the sun and moon?"
"If Young Master Kong deals with you, it's like a boulder crushing an egg, crushing you to death."
Shen Lang heard this and smiled, "Is that so? I hope Kong Wudao himself has as much confidence when he sees me as you do."
Shen Lang didn't dislike Yu Linling. He could sense the loneliness in her heart, a loneliness that stemmed from not having anyone to care for her as she grew up.
Before meeting Chu Ge, Shen Lang's mindset was similar to Yu Linling's.
And it was precisely because of this inner loneliness that she would repay anyone who was a little good to her with unwavering loyalty.
Soon, twenty minutes passed, but Wanwan was still in the restroom, showing no signs of coming out.
And while Wanwan hadn't come out, Gu Qinghan and Ye Shishi had already arrived at the entrance of the White Horse Club.
Gu Qinghan set out from the Wudao Department, and Ye Shishi set out from the dormitory building of the Nanning University professor, and they bumped into each other.
"Gu Qinghan, is that you?"
Seeing Gu Qinghan appear, Ye Shishi frowned, her expression displeased.
It wasn't that Ye Shishi was unhappy, because as long as Gu Qinghan was around, Shen Lang, that scoundrel, would always focus his attention on Gu Qinghan and find fault with her.
"What Gu Qinghan? Have some manners, call me sister."
Gu Qinghan could see Ye Shishi's displeasure but understood it perfectly. She walked up and patted Ye Shishi on the shoulder, saying, "Since childhood, you've always called me sister. What, after only a few days apart, you're not calling me anymore?"
"So what if I don't call you?"
Gu Qinghan was a little older than Ye Shishi, but only a little. So, when they were children and even at school, Ye Shishi had always called Gu Qinghan "sister."
But after Shen Lang appeared, Ye Shishi knew that Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan were getting together, so she stopped calling her that.
"It's fine if you don't call me. I'm not forcing you."
Gu Qinghan smiled, "You say you don't like that stinky brat, but why did you come here as soon as you heard that stinky brat was gambling with someone?"
"My business is none of your concern."
Ye Shishi let out a cold snort and said, "Gu Qinghan, I don't know why, but I really dislike you now, so stay away from me."
"Are you guilty because I've hit a nerve?"
Gu Qinghan knew her good friend's personality all too well. However, the two had played together since childhood and were accustomed to attacking each other.
The more guilty the other person felt and the more angry they became, the happier Gu Qinghan would be, and she would intensify her attacks.
"Hmph, little bitch."
Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Ye Shishi let out a cold snort and then walked in directly.
"Hello, the White Horse Club is not open to outsiders tonight. We apologize."
As Ye Shishi entered, Tang Wuzui, the receptionist, immediately walked over and smiled.
"Not open to outsiders doesn't mean not open to people."
Ye Shishi looked at Tang Wuzui and smiled, "If Yang Ce knew I was Ye Shishi, he wouldn't dare to stop me."
After speaking, Ye Shishi glanced at Gu Qinghan behind her and said, "She is the recently popular Gu Qinghan from the Wudao Department, my good friend. Are you sure you want to continue stopping me?"
"Good friend?"
Hearing Ye Shishi's words, Gu Qinghan's smile froze.
Good heavens, Gu Qinghan was speechless.
Just now she was calling herself a little bitch and wishing she could sever ties with her, and now, less than a minute later, she had become a good friend.
Although Gu Qinghan knew Ye Shishi's fickle and unpredictable nature, she was still taken aback by this move.
Upon hearing that they were the renowned Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan, Tang Wuzui was very tactful and let the two of them in.
