35 Flaw (2/2)
With so many people around, Ye Yingying couldn't renege on her promise. But 50 thousand dollars was her one-month pocket money, and that Swiss watch was her much-treasured possession. How could she hand them over just like that?
”I want another match!”
Ye Yingying gritted her teeth while she took off her watch and placed it into Xiao Luo's hand alongside her bank card.
”Another match?” Xiao Luo frowned.
”Yes, a rematch.”
Ye Yingying's eyes were about to spurt fire. She finally understood that this guy had been pretending all along. From the moment she challenged him to a snooker match, she had become an idiot, ”If you win, I will give you another hundred thousand dollars. If you lose, return me my bank card, watch, and lick my shoe clean.”
She was furious. This was the first time she got cucked so severely. She was proud of her brilliance in snooker. For her, this defeat was a deep, humiliating disgrace.
Why would Xiao Luo ever say no to free money?
He replied in a faint tone, ”Well, we could, but I don't like empty promises!”
What he meant was, she had to show her sincerity. She couldn't just say it with her mouth.
”There's fifty grand in here!”
Fang Shulan took out a bank card from her pocket and placed it on the snooker table, supporting Ye Yingying till the very end.
Fu Jiawei was no longer pretending to be good brothers with Xiao Luo. He took out a bank card and said, ”I have fifty thousand dollars in here as well.”
”There's exactly 100 thousand over here. Okay, fine. I'll have another match with you.”
Although Xiao Luo wasn't someone whose eyes would glimmer in the face of money, he never turned his thumbs down to it. Oh yeah, ten points, and I'll win? Like just now?”
After hearing this, Ye Yingying, Fang Shulan, and Fu Jiawei almost vomited blood.
Fu Jiawei was holding back his vulgar words as he forced a smile on his face. He said, ”Xiao Luo. You know how to play snooker. If we go with the previous ten points, it won't be fair to Yingying.”
”Do you mean we're going by the normal rules, Jiawei?” asked Xiao Luo.
”Duh! Why must she give you a handicap after we know that you knew how to play snooker?”
”What a shameless person! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
”Taking your underserved gain for granted, why don't you go to hell.”
The people who were close with Yingying and the girls were overcome by anger, wishing they could go forward and whack him together.
”Xiao Luo, stop acting. We won't fall for it,” Fang Shulan said.
”Relax, I'm just saying. I already had one easy match. It wouldn't be great if I get another handicap. Let's have a normal game. Whoever gets a higher score wins,” Xiao Luo looked ever so tranquil, keeping a smile on his face from beginning till the end.
Ye Yingying took a step forward, took a cue, and thumped it on the ground as she said furiously, ”Cut the crap! Break-off!”
Xiao Luo shut his mouth but kept his smile and put on solemn expression. He once again picked up the cue, went to the break-off zone, and started the game with a light thrust.
It was a faceoff between pros, and the atmosphere was tense.
Everyone was looking at the table without blinking their eyes, not knowing who would be the victor.
With the gentle strike that Xiao Luo had taken, the white ball collided with the edge of the clumped up red balls and rebounded to the tiny semi-circular break-off area.
Most people thought it was a tremendous defensive strike. But from Ye Yingying's point of view, Xiao Luo had revealed a flaw in his first shot because one red ball had already detached from the cluster, and it just so happens that it was hittable with the white ball. Even the angulation was just right so that she could get it potted. While doing that, she could seize the opportunity to scatter the red balls, which would be beneficial for her to get more balls potted subsequently and acquire more points.
