"Where is it? If you want to leave, can I take you back?"
How could Zhou Si see her like this? Bai Xingyi refused without thinking, "Thank you, but no, I can go back by myself. Thank you for your hospitality today."
Bai Xingyi put away her cell phone and was about to go home when she received a call from Liu Qingli.
She didn't want to answer the call, and waited until the call was about to hang up before she came to her senses and answered it. Her voice was cold and indifferent: "Mom."
Liu Qingli is very gossipy: "Xingyi, how did you go out with Mr. Zhou? Did he say that we will play together next time? If he didn't, you must say it, otherwise he won't call you in the future. What should I do?"
Bai Xingyi frowned hard as he listened to her words. She didn't want to say too much and said perfunctorily: "I know what to do. Did you call me for anything else?"
Liu Qingli said: "Please come back in two days."
Bai Xingyi didn't want to go back, so he found excuses to excuse her, "I'm very busy at work. I don't know if I will work overtime in a few days. If I work overtime, I won't be able to go back."
Liu Qingli's face turned gloomy when she heard what she said, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. The family banquet will be attended by the Zhan family, and you must be there. As for work... It's best if you marry a rich man. Good future."
Family dinner...
Bai Xingyi felt as if a stone had been pressed against his head. If he wanted to return to his old home, he would definitely meet him again.
But the Zhan family has strict rules, so she had to agree even if she didn't want to: "Okay, I understand."
After Liu Qingli gave some more instructions, Bai Xingyi hung up the phone and returned to the company, handing the second version of the design draft to her boss. For many days that followed, she focused on her work and tried her best. The more her mother wanted her to find a rich man to marry, the harder she had to work.
Only by making enough money and climbing to a higher position can she not be so passive in relationships.
Mid-Autumn Festival.
The moon is bright and round.
Bai Xingyi returned to the Zhan family's old house with gifts. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw women playing mahjong, including her aunt Liu Qingyan.
Liu Qingyan lost money frequently and felt very uncomfortable. She almost couldn't hold it anymore. She found Bai Xingyi not far away, as if grasping a life-saving straw, waving to Bai Xingyi, "Xingyi, come here, you Give me a few blows, my aunt wants to go to the toilet."
Bai Xingyi glanced at the young woman next to her and didn't want to agree.
Lin Wanwan is back, and Zhan Shaoting must be there too.
Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Bai Xingyi wanted to go to the room to hide and reduce his sense of presence.
"Aunt, I can't."
Liu Qingli was determined to let her play: "It's okay, you can learn if you don't know how. Sit down quickly, aunt is gone."
She directly pressed Bai Xingyi onto the chair.
Bai Xingyi was on pins and needles.
Lin Wanwan looked at Bai Xingyi, feeling that she disliked her very much, but she kept her face very well, and there was no difference at all: "Miss Bai, your aunt is right, you can't learn. And you are highly educated, so I want to come." He has a very smart mind and can learn quickly.”
She said that deliberately.
Bai Xingyi smiled reluctantly: "Even if I learn how to play, I'm afraid my performance will be mediocre. I'm afraid of disturbing the fun of the ladies. The ladies play very well. I'm a novice who won't interfere with the masters."
This is a double entendre, which not only expresses the unwillingness to play, but also flatters the wives.
The ladies couldn't help but tease Bai Xingyi.
"Xingyi's mouth can still say it, it's sweet."
"Yeah, we were just playing around and saying we were masters."
Bai Xingyi smiled: "No way, I'm just telling the truth."
Lin Wanwan saw that she was pleasing to the eye, so she squeezed her hand tightly. Originally, he wanted to make Bai Xingyi look embarrassed, but he didn't expect that it would lead to the current situation.
She immediately changed her explanation, "Is it because Xingyi doesn't work very hard and doesn't make much money, and is afraid that she can't afford to lose without money? If this is the case, the loser is mine, so sit down and play."
Her strong desire to win made her very unwilling, and she made up her mind that she must let Bai Xingyi sit down and play mahjong.
Bai Xingyi could tell that she was mocking her for having no money, so she took a deep breath and denied it softly.
By chance, Zhan Shaoting appeared with a cup of coffee and casually sat down on the sofa nearby. His simple posture showed that he was full of nobility.
He glanced at Bai Xingyi and looked at Lin Wanwan with a gentle look, "How can I ask you to pay? I'll do it."
Lin Wanwan looked at him coming over and her voice became gentler: "Shaoting, it's better for you."
The wives also spoke up: "Xingyi, sit down and play together. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the atmosphere is all about playing. Now Shaoting has also said that if they lose, it's theirs, so you can play with ease."
When Bai Xingyi saw Zhan Shaoting coming over, he even spoke for Lin Wanwan, showing that evil comes from cowardice. Since Zhan Shaoting gave her this opportunity, let's see how she borrows his money to make money.
"Thanks to the love of the ladies, I will give it a try."
"Then let's get started, keep going."
Zhan Shaoting seemed to see Bai Xingyi's little thoughts and sat closer to Lin Wanwan. This is to help Lin Wanwan and others fight.
When Bai Xingyi first started, he was not very proficient. He lost two games in a row and was a little discouraged, so he spent more time every time he played a card, and then he won wildly all the way.
"bump!"
"Bang!"
"All colors."
"What a fool."
Almost everything was like this, and Bai Xingyi made a lot of money. Joy appeared on her face, and it was so bright and dazzling.
Zhan Shaoting looked a little lost when he saw her like this.
The ladies were a little annoyed to see Bai Xingyi winning all the time.
"Xingyi is so lucky. He has won several games."
"It's good to be smart." The second master's wife seemed curious and asked Bai Xingyi, "Does Xingyi still remember cards?"
Bai Xingyi noticed the change in the atmosphere and became more modest, "Maybe it's because I'm still a novice protector. I'm lucky. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky as this time."
The ladies looked like "it should be so".
Lin Wanwan saw Bai Xingyi, a beginner, winning several rounds without any help. She was very angry when she thought about how she was stepped on the ground by a novice to win.
She was unwilling to give in and wanted to teach Bai Xingyi a lesson. Her mind was so confused that she couldn't even listen to Zhan Shaoting's suggestions, so she lost even more.
Either lose to Bai Xingyi alone, or lose to the three of them.
The more she loses, the more Bai Xingyi wins.
The card playing time was a bit long. One of the ladies yawned and pushed the cards forward: "Oh no, I won't play anymore. I'm too tired. I'll go upstairs and take a rest."
With that said, the person left directly.
The other one didn't see enough people and left too.
Just as Bai Xingyi was about to leave, Lin Wanwan grabbed her wrist: "Don't leave, keep playing, I'll call two more people over."
She wanted to win Bai Xingyi's money back and give her a slap in the face.
Bai Xingyi accepted it as soon as she could, and was not polite to her: "I won't play anymore. I'm very tired from work recently, and I want to take a rest. If you want to play, ask someone else to continue."
