Chapter 29 Fight Against Landlords


    As Mandy was lost in her thoughts, Essie took out a deck of cards from her bag and said, "Ladies and


    gentlemen, let''s have some fun, shall we?" With three people, they could y one of her favorite card

    games. She began shuffling the cards and arranging the deck.


    Mandy turned to her with a disdainful look. Though they had always yed this game with Eva, but this


    would only bore Zac who was used to ying golf, polo and yacht. How could she force him to y


    such cheap card games?


    Just as Mandy had guessed, it was true that Zac had never yed such card games before.


    Nevertheless, his curiosity was piqued and he was soon very interested in it. "How do you y it?" he


    asked innocently.


    Essie''s eyes widened in amazement as if she had just heard the biggest revtion of the century. "You


    don''t know how to y ''Fight Against Landlords''?"


    "Is it strange?" Zac asked while raising an eyebrow.


    Essie was puzzled. This was the most popr poker game in China. Primary school students often


    y this game, so howe he didn''t know how to y it?


    "Do you know how to y ''Go Fish''?"


    Zac shook his head.


    "What about ''Old Maid''?"


    Zac continued shaking his head.


    Essie was speechless. She was starting to think that this man was not from the same as her.


    Was he from Mars?


    "Do you know how to y poker?" continued Essie.


    Zac shrugged. Actually, he rarely yed with cards. When he was in New York, he had learned about


    poker but he only yed it asionally.


    In his silence, Mandy took the opportunity to cut in, "What''s the fun in cards? Zac, let''s go sailing, shall


    we?" She smiled sweetly and hoped that she could finally have a moment with him.


    Zac ignored her words. Instead, he looked at Essie and said, "You can teach me how to y."


    Essie took a nce at her upset friend and feigned nausea. "Oh! Why do I feel dizzy all of a sudden?"


    She held her forehead and continued in a weak voice, "It must be because of the seawater I had


    swallowed earlier. I''ll take a nap first. You guys should go to the speedboat."


    Sadness shed through Zac''s eyes. Was she ying the same trick again to push him away?


    Was he really nothing to her?


    "Teach me, right here, right now! I won''t let you off until I learn it!" Zac snarled at her in frustration. Her


    inexplicable words and actions made him want to squeeze into her heart to see what was in it. How


    could she ignore him easily?


    Feeling helpless, Essie rolled her eyes and raised her hands in surrender. She had tried her best for


    her friend. Zac was just too smart to be fooled easily.


    Mandy was extremely disappointed. She put on her sunsses to cover her red eyes. She had been


    the apple of everyone''s eyes since childhood. Everyone wanted to make friends with her, and many


    men had run after her. Why was Zac treating her so coldly?


    Shey on the back of the chair and secretly gazed at him through the sunsses. He was so


    excellent and perfect. There was no one else in her eyes other than him. She would never be


    discouraged, and in whatever way, she would try her best to impress him!


    Essie started exining the rules to him, and turned on the game application on her phone to let him


    practice. Zac had already grasped the mechanics of the game, but he deliberately pretended not to


    know and let her guide beside him.


    After winning five rounds, Essie sighed deeply, as if she was tired from finishing a tough task. "You are


    a promising student and my efforts had not been wasted. Finally, I can take a nap." She covered her


    mouth and yawned deliberately. Mandy saw this as an opportunity. She stood up and asked Essie to


    apany her in buying a swimming ring.


    She was stunned for a moment and didn''t react immediately. Narrowing her eyes, she asked, "Why do


    you want a swimming ring?" Mandy was a good swimmer and as strong as a fish. How could she need


    a swimming ring?


    "I don''t know how to swim. Of course, I need to buy a swimming ring," she replied in annoyed tone.


    Then, Mandy dragged her away, not wanting her to spill the beans.


    While walking towards the stall, Mandy released her hands and stared seriously at Essie. "From now


    on, I can''t swim. Keep it a secret!"


    Essie nodded in a daze. What trick was she ying?
