4530 The Other Side 499
Gu Jinglian asked, “Did you know that Baby Chu and Mu Yueyao are in the same ward?”
“Eh?” Yun Shishi was surprised. “I didn’t. All I know is that the three children have been placed in the same quarantine zone.”
“I told the hospital to arrange it that way.”
The man paused for a moment before continuing, “The wards are already quite full. There are six beds in one ward, so it’s just nice for the five kids to be housed together. They can take care of each other.”!!
“Six beds. It’s so crowded.”
“The ward isn’t small. It doesn’t seem too tight.”
Although they called it a quarantine area, it was actually not a complete quarantine. It was far from being fully facilitated as a quarantine zone.
Before they entered the ward, Gu Jinglian and Yun Shishi heard Baby Chu’s voice from afar.
“Aha! Just in time, 19 points. Come, come, come, pay up! WeChat or Alipay will do.”
Gu Jinglian frowned deeply and exchanged a knowing look with Yun Shishi. He quickly walked into the room and saw the few little munchkins gathered around a table. The children were all wearing masks, but they could not hide their aggressive aura.
The twins were sitting at the table with Baby Chu, while Jing Yang was watching from the side.
Yueyao was standing next to Jing Yang with her mask on. Even though she couldn’t understand what was going on, her eyes were wide with curiosity as she watched.
Baby Chu, Youyou, and Little Yichen were gambling.
“19 points and so smug?” Youyou flipped open the cards beside him and snorted coldly. “I didn’t even boast with 21 points.”
When Baby Chu heard this, he immediately leaned over to look at the cards in Youyou’s hand in disbelief.
10, 2, 9… exactly 21 points.
The game was for two to six players, using 52 cards, with the player’s goal being to have a total of no more than 21 points but as close as one could get to it.
The moment a player exceeded 21 points, it was considered busted. If it didn’t bust the limit, then the person with a hand closest to 21 points would be the winner.
This was a classic betting game. Gu Jinglian had taught it to Baby Chu previously.
After being warded in the hospital, Baby Chu secretly took out the poker cards he had hidden away.
The children had been assigned to the same ward under Gu Jinglian’s orders.
The relationship between the Gu and Mu families had eased in recent years. Occasionally, they would interact. They often ran into each other too, at gatherings. The children were already very familiar with each other. They wouldn’t feel awkward or out of place with each other.
Since entering the ward, they had been spending all day indoors. They weren’t allowed to wander around. Other than eating and sleeping, they could only watch boring television programs.
Because the semi-quarantine zone was filled with children, the television was playing Peppa Pig on a loop.
Initially, the children watched it with relish. However, after some time, it inevitably got boring. Hence, Baby Chu suggested playing Blackjack and asked if anyone was interested.
The twins ignored him at first. Then, Baby Chu started to mock them. “I’m not targeting anyone. With all due respect, everyone here is trash.”
With this mockery, the twins were immediately driven to sit down at the card table.
Baby Chu had come to the hospital with tens of thousands of yuan in his pocket, and the twins too, were not short of money. Hence, they started gambling. What surprised Youyou, who initially thought that Baby Chu was just putting on a show, was that the boy was so ruthless when it came to Blackjack.
