His Stunning Doctor Wife novel 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.
