295: Can't you even give me some time to think about it? What's with the rush?
Atapong spoke with full confidence, as if he had already won.
At this point, Atapong stared intensely at Su Cha and roared, "He must be bluffing; he doesn't have any good cards at all! He just wants to scare me, wants me to fold!"
"So, I can't fall for his trick! I absolutely cannot fall for it!"
The people in the yard saw Atapong's loss of composure and felt it was very gratifying.
Atapong had been so arrogant and looked down on others before; now it was finally his turn to be anxious and flustered.
"Hahaha! Seeing Atapong like this is truly satisfying! Wasn't he quite arrogant before? Calling us poor and saying we've seen nothing of the world; why is he as anxious as a dog now?"
"Exactly! Atapong said Su Cha was acting on impulse, but I think he's the one who's lost his head!"
"To be provoked by a few words from Su Cha into betting his factory, what an idiot!"
"My family has a relative like Atapong too. My Older Male Cousin used to be the same; as soon as he had a little money, he'd always lord it over us, criticizing everything we did. Later, our family's situation improved and we became richer than him, then he behaved himself and didn't dare show off in front of us anymore."
"My Eldest Uncle is also like that. When my parents were wealthy, his expression would be very sour; he felt he was the eldest and my parents shouldn't be richer than him. Later, when our family business failed and our situation worsened, he would come to our door every day to mock us, saying we deserved it. People like him and Atapong are truly disgusting!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, one can only say gambling really ruins people! It was originally just a small game for a dozen or so yuan for fun, but now it's turned into a million-yuan game! If this is lost, two families will be destroyed!"
"The gambling table's biggest taboo is losing one's mind. Atapong is clearly out of his head now. His wife is quite clear-headed, knowing Su Cha is tricking him into raising the stakes, but unfortunately, Atapong won't listen."
"Heh, that's the gambler's mentality! Atapong and Su Cha are both thoroughbred gamblers! To win, they'll dare to bet anything!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Nala couldn't take it.
She knew everyone was laughing at their family, and the fire in her heart burned even brighter.
She suddenly stepped forward, fiercely grabbed Atapong's chest, pulled hard on his clothes, and snapped.
"Atapong, wake up! Look at the people around you; they're all laughing at us!"
"Su Cha's family is already so poor, yet he's desperately raising the stakes with you. Do you think he's just doing it to scare you???"
"He must be certain he can beat you to dare play with you like this! Don't be so stubborn anymore!"
Atapong was stunned for a moment when Nala grabbed his chest.
Then he shoved Nala away.
"I'm telling you, you stupid woman, don't get in my way! I play for hundreds of thousands out there; when have I ever lost!"
"What kind of good cards could a poor kid like Su Cha have? He's just bluffing! If you dare say another word, I won't let you off!"
Atapong's gaze was terrifyingly fierce.
Nala was pushed back a few steps and almost fell, trembling with rage.
"You idiot, you're an irredeemable idiot!"
"Do you think I'm joking with you? I'm telling you the truth! Su Cha must be sure he can beat you, otherwise he wouldn't dare play with you like this!" Nala shouted hysterically.
Atapong was extremely impatient and roared in fury, "Shut up!!! Shut your dog mouth!"
"If you dare say more, don't force me to slap you right here!"
He raised his hand, making a gesture as if to hit Nala.
Seeing this, Songphong quickly stepped forward to pull Atapong back: "What are you doing! She's your wife, how can you hit her!"
Su Cha stood opposite, watching the bickering couple, feeling very gratified!
This was so satisfying, so damn satisfying!
In the past, Atapong was always high and mighty in front of him, showing off and treating him like air, humiliating him however he pleased.
Now, Atapong was forced by him to act like a mad dog, arguing with his own wife and father, even betting his factory—this was karma!
He felt triumphant.
"Atapong, you finally have your day!"
"The humiliations you heaped on me and my father in the past, I will definitely pay them back twofold today!"
"Don't you think you're very rich and great?"
"I'm going to make you lose everything, to let you know that money isn't everything!"
Having seen enough of the Atapong family's farce, he cleared his throat.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you two argued enough? Is there no end to this?"
Su Cha pointed at the property certificate on the table and looked at Atapong, saying, "I'm asking you, do you want to use your factory to bet and then call my hand? Give me a straight answer!"
Atapong stared fixedly at Su Cha without speaking, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing.
He was very conflicted now; on one hand, he felt Su Cha was bluffing, but on the other, he was influenced by Nala's words and hesitated.
Seeing him not speaking, Su Cha said coldly, "Don't play dead! Speak up! Are you calling or not!"
Being snapped at by Su Cha in front of so many people, Atapong felt an unprecedented humiliation.
Su Cha, this dog-like creature he used to look down on, this poor kid who didn't even dare to breathe heavily in front of him, actually dared to show off and speak to him like this today!
At the thought of this, the fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed, erupting like a volcano.
He roared directly at Su Cha in fury, "Su Cha, fuck your mother!!!"
"You dog, I've really given you too much face!"
He pointed at Su Cha, his hand trembling.
"What's wrong? Can't you let me think? Why are you rushing me!"
Su Cha's wife, Pinya, was standing right next to him. Hearing Atapong's foul language, she instantly became enraged.
She stepped forward, blocking Su Cha, and shouted at Atapong, "Atapong, we don't owe you anything, stop barking like a dog! Keep your mouth clean!"
Pinya usually had a gentle personality and rarely lost her temper like this, but Atapong had gone too far today, not only humiliating Su Cha but also insulting Su Cha's mother; she really couldn't bear it anymore.
Atapong didn't expect Pinya would also dare to snap back at him. He was stunned for a moment, then trembled with rage: "You... you! You woman dare to talk back to me too!"
He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the fire in his heart, turned his head, and pointed at Su Cha again.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll remember the embarrassment you've caused me today! I'll definitely settle this score with you later!"
"But, who said I was calling!"
Atapong's tone shifted, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"What if I don't call, but keep following instead???"
