Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 957

Their unkind words put both Nita and Lily in a difficult position. They were hesitant and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Everyone else at the table was jittery and impatient. Among them, a man in his forties sitting opposite Lily glared rudely at her and said, "Manager Wei, let me be clear. We are willing to let you play with us for Ms. An's sake. Your quitting now would be a slap in the face for us, do you understand?"

"I didn't..." Lily wanted to explain.

A smile appeared on Nita's face. She tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Li, this is a misunderstanding. We..."

However, Mr. Li ignored Nita and interrupted, "Misunderstanding? Miss An, we're all adults. Do you think we will believe this crap?"

As he finished speaking, the rest of the people at the table nodded; their faces were unhappy.

Lily and Nita both felt embarrassed by the situation.

However, Fade came up to the two women and asked softly, "Sister Lily, Nita, what happened?"

Seeing Fade, Lily and Nita heaved a sigh of relief. They felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Lily quickly explained to Fade in hushed tones, "These are the big shots in the cosmetics industry of Jade City. Earlier, Miss An introduced us to them. We were just going to exchange some words over some drinks. I wasn't expecting them to begin gambling as soon as we reached the high seas. They even dragged both of us into their game."

"I couldn't refuse, so I played along for a few rounds. In the end, I lost everything so I quit. They aren't very happy about it, though."

Fade nodded as he took in the whole story. He then asked quietly, "Sister Lily, how much did you lose?"

Lily pointed at the few chips left in front of her that were on the table and said, "I've cashed in five hundred thousand in chips, but I lost four hundred thousand in three rounds. That's too fast." While speaking, a touch of pain flashed across her face.

Fade understood her. Lily was the human resource manager of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. In addition, she was filling in for the chairman, and her annual salary was over five million yuan. In addition to the shares of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc she owned, her net worth was already more than 100 million yuan.

The loss of several hundred thousand yuan was nothing compared to her net worth. However, Lily had watched over the company for some time now, so she understood how difficult it was to make money. It was understandable that she wanted to cut her losses short after a few rounds.

Fade and Lily continued whispering to each other, making the gamblers at the table feel awkward and impatient.

Mr. Li said impolitely, "Manager Wei, so many of us are waiting for you. What are you trying to pull here?"

Lily's expression soured. Fade picked up the remaining 100,000 yuan worth of chips and said, "Please continue and excuse us. We will be taking our leave."

After that, Fade prepared to leave with Lily.

However, everyone at the table was upset. One of them said coldly, "So this is Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc! You think you can do whatever you want! You think that we are all insignificant!" The rest of the gamblers murmured unpleasantly in agreement.

"Manager Wei, if you don't give me face, I don't think it's necessary for us to cooperate anymore."

"I can close one eye if you don't want to give Pedro the time of day, but to refuse Mr. Li of Mizzy Cosmetics? This is outrageous!"

"Mizzy Cosmetics!" Hearing the name, Fade felt a little familiar. He looked at Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li, are you from the Li family?"

Thereupon, Mr. Li's face darkened. He looked at Fade coldly and said, "It seems that you have recognized me. My name is Eden, and Derick is my son."

Fade's expression stiffened when he heard this. He looked at Lily and said, "Sister Lily, he's from the Li family. The collaboration they spoke of was impossible from the very beginning."

Lily finally understood now. After all, the conflict between Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Mizzy Cosmetic only took place recently. Fade had not only injured Derick, but also Harrox, Derick's cousin. He was definitely an enemy of the Li family.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Eden had no intention of collaborating with them. He was merely using the cooperation as a pretext to get Lily into the game and win her money on the gambling table. When Lily understood the situation, she was furious. She turned to Fade and said, "Let's go. We are done here."

Since she knew that the collaboration was never possible, to begin with, there was no need for her to curry favor with them.

However, Eden snorted and said, "How dare you simply blow us off like this and leave! In that case, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is now the common enemy of the entire makeup industry in Jade City." "That's right. I support what Mr. Li said," a man chimed in.

"We won't show mercy when dealing with enemies," another boss added angrily.

At the sound of the clamor and threats, Lily's face darkened. She glared at Eden and the others furiously and shouted, "What more do you want?"

Eden smiled and said, "We are trying to be reasonable. We're just asking you to abide by the rules. You'll have to play at least ten rounds. Otherwise, you should not have sat down with us in the first place." "You..." Lily was furious. This was daylight robbery, so how could she possibly agree?

Just as Lily was about to refuse, Fade pulled on Lily's arm and said to Eden and the others in a clear voice, "Only ten rounds? I'll play with you."

"Fade, they..." Lily tugged at Fade's clothes and persuaded.

Fade gave Lily a reassuring look, then gently pinched her delicate hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose."

Eden sneered, "Mr. Chen, look how confident you are!" The bosses at the table looked at each other and laughed.

They were all old acquaintances, and even older friends on the gambling table, so they had a good grasp of how each other behaved at the gambling table. Moreover, they were very well coordinated with each other, and were flawless when it came to the execution of tricks.

Fade didn't seem to pay them any heed. He still smiled and said confidently, "Of course I'm confident. However, ten rounds are not enough for me. Where's the enjoyment in that?"

Hearing this, Eden grinned from ear to ear and said, "If ten rounds isn't enough to satisfy you, Mr. Chen, how many rounds do you want to play?"
