--
Shao Hui only wanted to show his wife that even he could be useful in ways that she did not expect from him.
But did he rush things? Was it wrong of him to put such a wager in front of Chen Han? Maybe he did. For the woman was now vigilant against him.
However, his train of thought was broken when there was a sudden ringing sound.
"Excuse me," Chen Han said as she stood up from the chair. Now that they have done playing the game, Lu Shuyu has removed the restriction where they could not call their family. "It is an important call."
After she was done speaking, she turned on her heels and then came to a stop not far from the dining table. She answered the call with a single tap of her finger.
"Mother——"
"You fucking bastard! Have you lost your mind!" As soon as Madam Chen appeared on the screen, she glared at the stupid daughter who had only made things difficult for her ever since she fell in love with that scheming mer called Jiang Zu.
She had tried to stop Chen Han but this daughter of hers seemed to be living in the world of fantasy. Even though Madam Chen had tried everything to separate her from Jiang Zu, Chen Han would still find a way to get close to Jiang Zu.
Just like how she borrowed money in the name of Chen's family for the sake of buying that island. Even now their family was paying for the mistake that Chen Han had made.
"Don't you remember that your grandmother needs the soup made from the fish that is sold on the All Hail Mother Nature site? Why are you refusing such a good wager? If we can get our hands on the card, then we can at least get that fish before it's sold out!" Madam Chen said while clutching her head with both of her hands.
She couldn't believe that Chen Han had forgotten such a grave matter!
"Mother, but there is no certainty that I will win this bet. So why bother?" What was more if the ownership was given to Shao Hui, he might try to kick Jiang Zu out of the show.
Chen Han did not want anything to threaten Jiang Zu.
"Don't take me as a fool !" Mother Chen said in a harsh voice as she glared at Chen Han through the hologram. "I know very well that the only reason you are refusing is because you don't want that little mer's position to be taken away right? Ah Han, is that mer more important than your grandmother? Everyone in the house including your sisters are taking out their savings to buy that fish and yet you are unable to take out an island that is of no use to you?"
"Have you gone mad?"
Chen Han flinched under the harsh words of her mother but at the same time, she hated Shao Hui. Why did he have to make such a bet, now because of him, she was getting scolded for no reason.
"Go and try your luck, even if you don't win try to send a bowl of soup to your grandmother!" Mother Chen ended the call on a harsh note causing Chen Han's head to ache. She knew that her mother was not going to forgive her if she did not get her hands on the bowl of soup today.
She sighed and turned to walk back to the table.
As she sat down, she said to Shao Hui, "I am willing to bet."
"Oh? But I don't want to bet anymore," Shao Hui did not know what happened but he was certain that it was most probably because of the matriarch of the Chen family.
