After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 423

Chapter 423: No One Believed She Could Win
Half an hour later, Zhouzhou, holding the bottle in one hand and snacks in the other, walked towards the arena with great confidence.

Occasionally taking sips of milk, she turned to the Skinny Monkey and said, “Uncle Skinny Monkey, what kind of milk did you buy? It’s really delicious.”

Skinny Monkey chuckled, “As long as it’s good, I’ll bring it to you every day.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou hesitated. She was already a big kid, but this milk… She pouted and seemed reluctant to part with it.

Seeing her expression, Skinny Monkey knew what she was thinking. He whispered understandingly, “I’ll sneak it to you next time, so no one else will see.”

“Deal!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. She whispered back, “Uncle Skinny Monkey, next time put it in a water bottle for me, not this nursing bottle.”

That way, they wouldn’t know she was drinking milk.

She was quite a clever little trickster!

Skinny Monkey nodded with a suppressed smile. The others behind him heard the conversation but remained silent, exchanging glances.

Forget it, give their team leader some face. After all, she’s just a kid, and it’s normal for kids to like milk.

Ye Lingfeng followed behind hands in his pockets, scanning the little girl happily drinking from her bottle. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

How could he bear to let her participate in such a dangerous organization?

His daughter only needed to count money happily.

Before long, they arrived at the arena, which was already packed with people. According to the rules, anyone who cleared the challenges could participate.

Apart from Zhouzhou, nine others had passed. Beneath each person’s name was a pile of money. Ye Lingfeng had the most money piled up, almost forming a small mountain.

Looking at hers, there was only a single coin.

Zhouzhou immediately felt unhappy, pouting and pointing, “What’s that?”

Skinny Monkey glanced and explained, “It’s the usual. Everyone bets on who will win. If they bet right, their money doubles.”

Now Zhouzhou understood. She stared at the single coin. It meant only one person believed she could win.

No, maybe that person didn’t believe she could win either, otherwise they wouldn’t have bet just one coin!

Hmph, they all looked down on kids!

She pouted, clearly displeased.

Just then, a big hand suddenly placed a card under her name.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up as she looked up, stunned. “Dad?”

Excitedly, she asked, “Do you think I can win?”

“I don’t think so,” Ye Lingfeng shrugged, telling the truth. “Anyway, in the end, you’ll lose to me. This money will come back to us, so no loss.”

Not only no loss but not a penny less. It also preserved their father-daughter relationship.

If only he hadn’t said it.

Now Zhouzhou was really annoyed, taking a big gulp of milk and threatening, “Sharp Tongue Daddy, you just wait and see!”

She would win!

After saying that, she didn’t want to talk to him anymore, snorting heavily and turning to sit as far away from him as possible.

Wen Jing looked at the smile on Ye Lingfeng’s face and said helplessly, “Boss, are you really upsetting Zhouzhou?”

Calling him “sharp tongue” isn’t unjustified.

Ye Lingfeng shrugged, “It’s fun.”

Have fun, when you still has her. One day, your little daughter would not recognize you, and the fun would end.

Wen Jing sighed silently and rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with him. She took out a stack of money from her bag and put it under Zhouzhou’s name, then walked over to her, patting her little head. “Good luck! I bet on you to win.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Sister Marvelous! You have much better taste than the Sharp Tongue Daddy.”

Finally, she couldn’t resist a little jab.

Wen Jing couldn’t help but smile and pinched Zhouzhou’s chubby little arm. “That’s because our Zhouzhou is amazing.”

“Yeah yeah!”

That’s right, she’s really amazing.

She’ll definitely beat the Sharp Tongue Daddy!

Seeing the smile on her face, Wen Jing smiled back without saying a word.

Although she knew in her heart that Zhouzhou might not be able to beat Ye Lingfeng, the children still needed encouragement.

Zhouzhou, unaware of the truth, thought she truly believed in her. Her spirit soared, and her dangling short legs swayed proudly.

Before long, Zhao Xinghua arrived.

Seeing Zhouzhou, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he glanced in Ye Lingfeng’s direction, said nothing more, and walked directly to the stage. “I declare, the competition begins now.”

He then explained the rules of the competition.

It was simple enough: in four rounds, strength alone mattered, and fists spoke louder than words.

Today’s competition was no different.

It was still a challenge on the platform: one challenger down, another follows. The last one standing would be the winner.

However, this meant that the first defender might need to face several challengers, which would consume their energy.

But that was inevitable. They couldn’t always be in top form.

As long as there were enemies, even if they were down to their last breath, they would still stand up to fight.

That was their fate.

If they didn’t defeat the enemy, it would be their death.

“Who will be the first?” Zhao Xinghua finished explaining the rules and directly asked.

Zhouzhou’s chubby paw was the first to go up. “Me!”

Skinny Monkey was startled and quickly pressed her hand down, reminding her in a low voice, “Boss, let’s go last to conserve energy. Otherwise, you’ll be too tired at the end and won’t have the strength to fight. It’s too much of a disadvantage.”

He was really worried. She didn’t have much chance to win anyway, and if she didn’t use some strategy, she’d definitely lose.

But Zhouzhou shook her head. “No, Grandpa said what I lack most is real combat experience. It’s good to fight a few more rounds and gain some experience.”

Having said that, she ignored him and jumped down from her chair, looking up at the high platform with no hesitation. She boldly stretched her arms towards Ye Lingfeng, “Daddy, carry me up.”

Ye Lingfeng chuckled softly, lifting her up, but instead of putting her directly on the platform, he lowered his gaze to her. “Are you sure you want to go first? Going first is quite a disadvantage.”

“Yes! I’m sure!” Zhouzhou nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng felt somewhat helpless and had to let go of her hand.

The little girl’s legs were too short. Even to get on the platform, she needed an adult to carry her. And she wanted to fight?

Even though knowing she was the current leader of the Wealthy Team, there were still many people who didn’t think highly of her, shaking their heads secretly.

This was not a joke.

Jinbao was jumping around on Wangcai’s back, excited beyond measure.

Quickly joined in to earn more merit and let it rub against it a little!

Little Goldie also waved his paws at Zhouzhou, foolishly following suit.

Seeing them, Zhouzhou smiled at them, then put her hands on her hips and taunted, “Who’s coming!”
