Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 338 - 337: Siege

"Su Mu, help me figure out which doll is easier to catch."

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t pay any attention to the girl, not even a glance at the provoking girl.

The envious look from Jiang Xinxuan that the girl wanted to see naturally wasn’t there.

"This one, let’s give it a try, it doesn’t matter whether we catch it or not."

Su Mu pointed to a doll that was lying on its back, a position where the claw of the machine could probably grab a larger area.

However, Su Mu also knew that without some actual experience, it was indeed very difficult to be successful at claw machines.

"Alright, I’ll try this one."

By now, Jiang Xinxuan no longer had the mindset that he must catch a doll.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu was right, it was just for fun, and there was no rule that catching a doll was necessary for happiness.

For Jiang Xinxuan, having Su Mu by his side was the happiest thing.

Besides, if Jiang Xinxuan showed he was unhappy, wouldn’t that mean the provoking girl had succeeded?

He grabbed three Game Coins and inserted them into the claw machine.

Jiang Xinxuan pressed the green start button, and began to operate the joystick.

"Still just a bit off, but it seems to be closer than before."

His tone wasn’t one of disappointment; Jiang Xinxuan seemed quite happy when he spoke.

The happier Jiang Xinxuan appeared, the more uncomfortable the girl felt.

The girl realized that both the handsome guy and his companion disdained to even look at her, a realization that stoked the flames in her heart even more.

"What are you even doing? You haven’t caught the doll after all this time."

"Can you do it or not? Catching a doll is such a simple thing, and you’re dillydallying. Isn’t that embarrassing?"

The girl’s biting words were addressed to her boyfriend, but they were clearly meant to have a pointed insinuation.

Just because Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan chose to ignore the girl, it didn’t mean that others would have the same level of restraint.

You see, among the five couples there, aside from that boy who was lucky to catch a doll, everyone else was empty-handed.

No spoils of victory at all.

Even though the girl’s words were aimed at Jiang Xinxuan, they were interpreted differently by the other listeners.

It was as if she had managed to insult everyone at once, making all those who hadn’t caught a doll the subject of her mockery.

"What are you saying? Did you catch that doll in your hand yourself? You didn’t even try, and you have the nerve to complain?"

"Exactly! This is just for fun. We can play however we like. Even if I don’t catch a single one, I’m happy."

"What’s there to be proud of? The doll in your hand wasn’t even caught by you. If you’re so capable, why not do it yourself?"

"People who only show off their verbal skills are the most contemptible."

"Just look at her, you can tell. If she really had the ability, wouldn’t she be over the moon?"

...

The other six people collectively started bombarding the girl with words.

Originally, everyone was doing their own thing, not interfering with each other; it was just that the girl’s arrogance had gone too far and she had been a bit too thoughtless.

In her attempt to take down Jiang Xinxuan, she had managed to offend everyone.

"I—I wasn’t talking about you guys; I was talking about my boyfriend," the girl said timidly, seeing she had aroused the anger of the crowd and trying to defend herself.

Now, all she could do was shift the blame onto her boyfriend.

After all, in the girl’s heart, the boy was just a backup. If she could meet someone better, she would certainly kick him to the curb without a second thought.

"Xiao Qing, I was just lucky to catch the doll today. With you rushing me all the time, I really don’t know what to do."

The girl’s boyfriend was indeed an iron blockhead among blockheads.

Being scolded by his girlfriend in front of so many people, he didn’t show any anger at all.

He even explained to the girl why he couldn’t get the doll from the claw machine afterward.

"Shut up and just play for your doll," she told him.

The girl who stopped Xiao Qing had boasted in front of Jiang Xinxuan earlier.

She had said she could get her boyfriend to teach Jiang Xinxuan how to win at the claw machine.

Of course, the main reason Xiao Qing wanted to talk to the handsome guy was to start a conversation.

It would be best to establish some kind of connection, like exchanging WeChat contacts.

Now that her boyfriend had spoken, it was as if he’d directly told everyone that she had lied earlier.

One could imagine how angry Xiao Qing was.

"Someone actually wants such a fierce girl?"

"It’s really eye-opening for me to see that there are still such unreasonable women in society nowadays."

"Now you know how good I am, right? You always complain that I’m not gentle enough. Compared to a certain tigress, I’m practically a little lamb."

"Comparing like this, it’s really true. I won’t say you’re not gentle anymore."

"This guy is just too pitiful. It’s clear that he’s used to being oppressed all the time."

Xiao Qing’s excuses failed to get understanding from the others.

Seeing Xiao Qing start to scold the guy again, everyone just couldn’t stand it any longer.

They collectively started to lambaste her again, maybe because they still hadn’t gotten over how frustrating Xiao Qing’s earlier comments had been.

Even though Xiao Qing found excuses, claiming it was her boyfriend she was talking about,

nobody was fooled. How could they believe Xiao Qing?

"Brother, stand up for yourself a little. Your girlfriend is also quite average-looking. Why treat her like an ancestor, attending to her every need?"

"Yes, brother, show some dignity for us men, will you?"

"Seeing you being scolded by a woman like this, I feel ashamed for you."

After blasting Xiao Qing, everyone started to ’brainwash’ the guy.

It was obvious to everyone that he had been bullied by Xiao Qing for a long time, and they all felt indignant on his behalf.

"You’ve misunderstood; my girlfriend isn’t usually like this," he said.

Waving his hands desperately, the boy seemed to want to change everyone’s impression of his girlfriend.

"Don’t mind them, just focus on getting your doll," she said.

Xiao Qing probably knew that no matter what her boyfriend said, those people wouldn’t believe him.

She pulled the boy aside, feeling that she definitely couldn’t outtalk those six mouths.

Adhering to the principle of not wanting immediate trouble, Xiao Qing had no intention of continuing the argument with these people.

Xiao Qing felt that the only thing that could shut these people up now was her boyfriend’s claw machine skills, which were still the best for now.

"This is our own business, you guys don’t need to worry about it,"

Originally, Xiao Qing wanted to say "You don’t need to be a busybody like a dog trying to catch a mouse."

But then she thought that if she swore, she would definitely be attacked by these people again.

Xiao Qing chose a more tactful way to express herself.

Seeing Xiao Qing backing down, everyone else lost interest in meddling.

If the boy himself was willing, there was nothing the others could do about it.

All one could say was that it was a case of a willing hitter and a willing sufferer; it had nothing to do with outsiders.

With Xiao Qing’s voice no longer causing a commotion, everyone harmoniously went back to their own battle of playing for dolls.
