Raymond was somewhat helpless because of her gaze, "I've never minded your family background." Scarlett raised her eyebrows, "Really?" "Really." Raymond replied while moving a little closer to her. Now they were extremely close and started whispering.
Seeing this scene, Cindy had to run to Stephen's side. Then she found her brother was also looking at Raymond and Scarlett, so she patted Stephen's shoulder, "Stephen, are you very envious?" Hearing her words, Stephen withdrew his gaze and glanced at his sister, "Envious of what? The shrimps they peel are not for themselves? Or having someone grabbing the blanket? Or their low 1Q?" "Hey! My elder brother! You are wrong! Sweet love is someone peeling shrimps for you, sleeping with you, and being childish together! How can you only see the bad and not see the good?" Stephen, a typical non-marriage and nonrelationship person, did not change his mind, "Oh, | don't like the good ones you said. | still prefer to be alone and free." Cindy was so angry that her face was about to twist, "You! Stay single forever! After Raymond, Alexander, and Jake all get married and have their kids, then you can only drink wine alone!" Stephen scowled, "Drink wine? | don't like drinking." Unable to communicate with her straight brother, Cindy gave up to explain.

After the cake was cut, Alexander wanted to play cards. Scarlett looked at the excited Alexander, smiling, "You want to invite us to have some midnight snacks?" She thought in her heart, 'Every time he loses money, but every time he is the first to say he wants to play cards.
Even if he loses tens of thousands, he doesn't care. So generous.’ "Scarlett, don't say it too early. | feel I'm lucky today, | will not lose tonight!" "Oh? Scarlett looked up at Raymond, and they both smiled but did not say a word.
Jake, as the birthday boy, naturally had no time to play with them, but Cindy was here, so they agreed.
Alexander was very familiar with Noble Club and directly asked someone to arrange a box.
Alexander really had great luck today. The game just began, he actually won.
It was the first time that Alexander played cards with Raymond and the others, and he won the first round. He was so happy that he proudly raised his chin, "I told you, | feel I'm lucky today." Scarlett smiled, "You are indeed lucky today." Cindy hummed, "Alexander, this is just the first round. Don't be so complacent!" "Okay, okay, no more complacency! You! Don't cry later!" Cindy rolled her eyes. "I won't cry!" She didn't believe that he was so lucky today. After all, he had always been the loser before.
She was right. That was just the first round.

After more than an hour, they played five rounds. Alexander only won the first round, and the remaining four rounds, he all lost.
Stephen played after Cindy and helped her win. Although Cindy only won one round, she got almost ten thousand dollars.
Scarlette and Raymond won three rounds and got more than twenty thousand dollars. It was enough for them to have a luxurious midnight snack.
It was already after ten o 'clock, Raymond proposed to end the game. After coming out of the box, Alexander was no longer as spirited as he was just now.
Scarlett glanced at him and couldn't help laughing, "You are not good at cards, but you really like it." Raymond added, "Right, meanwhile, he is rich and silly." Alexander, who was following behind them, had nothing to say,"..."
