Chapter 240 An Unpredictable Man

Elder sister Xin asked me to take a seat at her bar. I said I didn't have time, so I declined.

The next night, I went.

"I was working overtime yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't make it." I smiled and looked at her.

"It's okay. What do you want to drink? Put it on my tab." Elder sister Xin said generously.

Today, she was dressed very classically, in a cheongsam dress, which complemented her figure very well. Especially when she was drinking with a glass of wine, she was so charming and boneless that even a woman like me would be tempted to look at her.

"You're so beautiful." I raised my glass and touched hers.

She laughed, her laughter relaxed, and her smile expanded, but her features were still so straight and beautiful. "Chen Qing, you really know how to talk. Come to my bar more often. I'll make sure you have a good time with me."

I didn't answer. I watched the people on the dance floor swaying with the music, not interested in joining in.

"Do you like the bracelet I gave you?"

I lifted my sleeves and revealed the bracelet. "If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it every day."

"This bracelet is actually a pair. I bought it from Shanghai." Her Shanghai accent came out again. "I really like these bracelets."

"Then in order to give me away, you only have one. Didn't I take your heart?" A smile rose from the corner of my mouth.

She gave me a gentle slap on the arm. "What are you talking about? You can have a lot in your heart, but you only have one."

We clinked glasses again. I took a sip and stopped drinking.

"Chen Qing, you know how to play mahjong. Actually, it wasn't me who asked you out yesterday. It was Master Hu. He didn't know where he heard the news from. He wanted you to come over and play."

When I got the call, I was prepared for her to come to me for something, but I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I found an excuse and pushed it away. Now that I think about it, I'm glad that my brain was spinning.

"Then I didn't come. Didn't Master Hu make things difficult for you?" I asked.

She waved her hand. "Master Hu is not that bad-tempered. He's not the emperor. If he's not happy, he'll chop people down."

I said "Oh," sat down for a while, and looked at the time. It was time to go. Elder sister Xin walked me to the door. After I said hello, I turned around and saw Master Hu walking towards me. Wouldn't that be a coincidence? Why do I feel like I'm being watched?

"I asked ah xin to ask you out yesterday, but I didn't." In a flash, Master Hu was already in front of me.

I smiled. "The company was busy yesterday. I worked late."

"I heard you know how to play mahjong. Let's go and play with me. I can't do it again this time." He walked straight into the bar.

I don't even have a chance to make excuses. Damn it, I hate the feeling of being oppressed by invisible pressure.

There were separate rooms in the bar, only a few. Master Hu walked into one with ease. Elder sister Xin and I followed side by side. On the way, elder sister Xin quietly comforted me not to be afraid. I was not afraid, but I was not afraid. But I didn't want to get involved with such a tiger, or a tiger that even my own father could eat.

"No mahjong machine, hand rub." Master Hu said, glancing meaningfully at me.

I saw him looking at me from the corner of my eye, but I ignored him.

"Master Hu, how much fun are we having today?" Elder sister Xin asked.

"It's too boring to play with money. Let's make a bet. The first bet is on what you have." Master Hu glanced around and finally his eyes fell on the bald man next to him.

"Big brother, I don't have anything. Just this arm." He put his arm on the table and I was so scared that my face turned pale and my heart almost jumped out.

"Baldy, don't be so rude. What if you scare Chen Qing?" Elder sister Xin glared at him and turned to Master Hu. "Why don't we gamble? I don't need anything. I need money."

I hurriedly said, "Me too, me too."

"One million each, one million more in a row."

I can accept this, better than the lost arm, my small arms and calves, I love it.

Playing mahjong is simple and difficult for me. If it's a small gamble, then it's easy. Just play it. But now that I'm playing so much, I don't dare to take it lightly. I don't dare to make mistakes. I don't dare to play cards that no one else plays.

The first time I won, the banker changed from tiger master to me.

I was sitting three times in a row, and elder sister Xin was losing so badly that I deliberately made a mistake and let Master Hu play one.

"I heard that you are the champion of this city's mahjong competition." Master Hu said.

I grunted. "My grandparents, uncles, and aunties are dazzled. I won the championship by luck, but I don't really know how to play."

"What do you call excessive modesty?"

I swallowed and couldn't keep my smile.

"It's called lying." He told me seriously.

The bald man immediately replied, "My big brother hates people lying."

The corner of my mouth involuntarily twitched. "Actually, I know how to play mahjong."

Master Hu smiled. I actually found out that this horrible man had a tiger tooth. This tiger tooth must be blind. Why would it grow on that fierce and cold face?

After two laps, elder sister Xin coquettishly said no more. She and the baldy both lost miserably, and I won the most.

When I got the money, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out with the three boxes of cash.

"Elder sister Xin, can I put the money here first? I feel weird carrying so much money home at night." I said awkwardly.

Elder sister Xin smiled and gave me a blank look. "You're still the boss of a public company. What's wrong with this amount of money? You can save it for me. Give me your bank account. I'll transfer it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, great."

This is the first time I've seen such a big mahjong game. It's all in cash. Maybe poverty has limited my imagination.

After I gave the money to elder sister Xin, I had to leave. I was especially afraid that Master Hu would say he would give it to me or leave me for something, so as soon as I got out of the bar, I made up my mind that I would come less in the future.

When I got home, I drank a few mouthfuls of water to calm myself down. I kept thinking about what Wu Ying said on new year's day and then Master Hu's face. Well, it's better not to see him again.

I took a bath to get tired. Before I went to bed, Tan Jie called and asked me if I was okay. I told him everything was okay, and he hung up.

Tan Jie was like my brother, and like my brother. In short, he was like a family. It was good to have a family.

I thought about Chen Lai again, about what happened between us, shook my head and went to sleep.

On weekends, I went from going to the Wuyingjia to seeing my kids to eating at her house, packing up leftovers and taking them away.

"Grandma wu, has Fu Jing come to see tingsheng recently?"

"What, miss him?" Wu Ying's tone was unkind.

I looked down. "I just want to know if he cares about Tingsheng."

"It doesn't matter whether you care or not. Can you still give him the child?"

I shook my head and hugged the child in my arms. I would never give it to Tingsheng. Without Tingsheng, I couldn't live. My son was my life.
