"Two thousand. You must have counted until your hands went soft. The Fourth Wife of Jing is certainly delicate." Jie Jingwei's tone wasn't overtly sarcastic, but his words were clearly aimed at Qin Mei.
"It's more than two thousand…" Qin Mei was cut off by Jie Jingwei before she could finish.
"Right, more than two thousand. And the IOU for two thousand you won from Jing Wu." A smile played on Jie Jingwei's lips, and his meaningful gaze went past Qin Mei to land on Jie Jingjue.
Jie Jingjue was quite frustrated. He was getting dragged into this just by sitting there quietly. The two thousand he'd lost was just an IOU, while his second brother and sister-in-law had given their fourth sister-in-law two thousand in cold, hard cash. Jie Jingjue could understand their resentment.
"Do you have to count an IOU?" Qin Mei asked Jie Jingchen, who was beside her, before adding sarcastically, "That would be a first."
