Chapter 235 He’s enlightened
The cards in Ye Wanqing's hand were almost all of the same type, with only a few touches of different colors dotted among them, making them particularly eye-catching.
She glanced calmly at Qin Huai who was sitting opposite her. From his furrowed brow and the occasional smug look on his face, it was not difficult to guess that his cards were not to be underestimated either.
Li Chenfeng casually played a card of one bamboo, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became subtle.
Ye Wanqing gently pointed to the one-on-one tube in her hand, with a questioning look in her eyes: "Can I touch this one?"
"Of course, Miss Ye, please feel free to do so."
As Ye Wanqing announced the card, a 30,000 card came out and landed right in front of Qin Huai. The corners of his mouth curved up, and he secretly thought that the sports car he had bought last year might be found again today at this small card table.
"We're not playing big, just for fun. It's one hundred times. Miss Ye, don't worry. Xuan may not have much else, but he has a lot of money. Millions are just a matter of moving his fingers for him." Qin Huai's words were a bit sarcastic, but they also revealed his determination to win this game of cards.
Li Chenfeng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Young Master Qin's tone is more powerful than the Yangtze River. He lost so miserably last time, and he's still thinking about it?"
"Humph, who will win today is still unknown!"
Qin Huai pretended to be calm, but the anxiety in his eyes was hard to conceal.
He was afraid that his eagerness would be seen by Ye Wanqing, so he quickly changed the subject and said to Ye Wanqing with a smile: "Miss Ye, don't worry, newbies all have auras, you will definitely not lose, if anyone loses, it will be to these two veterans!"
As he said that, he played a nine.
However, just as the words fell, Li Chenfeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in a calm voice: "Bar."
Ye Wanqing looked at Qin Huai curiously, with gossip flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Qin, are you being bullied?"
Qin Huai smiled awkwardly and forced himself to remain calm: "It's okay, it's okay. His bar is also a white bar, there is no way to win."
Li Chenfeng didn't say anything more. In the entire box, Qin Huai's boasting voices continued one after another. Li Chenfeng and Ye Wanqing occasionally interrupted, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Tsk tsk, it seems like I'm in great luck today! Three cards!" Qin Huai shouted proudly.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly pushed down his own cards, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Grab the gang, win."
Qin Huai's expression instantly became brilliant. He looked at Ye Wanqing helplessly, trying to save face: "Look, Miss Ye, your novice aura is really powerful!"
Ye Wanqing's hand was a perfect match of twenty-four, earning her two thousand four hundred yuan in chips. She took it with a smile and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Just as the second round began, Lin Xuan's phone rang, and the words "Old House" flashed on the screen. He glanced at Ye Wanqing with a look of apology in his eyes. "It's my mother calling. I'll go answer it."
"Okay, go ahead." Ye Wanqing responded gently, her eyes full of understanding and tolerance.
It was nearly 9:30, and Mrs. Lin was usually already in bed. The sudden call at this moment made Lin Xuan feel a little worried. He stood up and walked to the balcony and answered the phone: "Mom, it's me."
"Well, I heard that you are with Ye Wanqing?" Mrs. Lin's voice was filled with kindness and concern.
"Yes, mother, we are playing mahjong with Qin Huai and others." Lin Xuan's voice was gentle and patient.
"Oh, so that's the case. It's nothing serious. Yanrong said that she went to play golf with her friends today and met you and Ye Wanqing. She said that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between you two." There was a hint of tentativeness in Mrs. Lin's words.
Lin Xuan's heart trembled, guessing that it was Lin Yanrong who had complained behind his back. He gently rubbed his temples and said calmly, "Mother, don't worry. It was just a greeting. There's nothing unpleasant."
"I understand. You are usually busy with work and rarely have time to relax. You guys continue to play. It's time for me to rest." Mrs. Lin's voice was filled with some relief and assurance.
"Okay, good night, mother." Lin Xuan said softly and hung up the phone.
Back in the box, he saw Ye Wanqing concentrating on playing cards. On the other side, Mrs. Lin put down the phone with a satisfied smile on her face. The housekeeper saw the clue at a glance: "Madam, are Axuan and Miss Ye really together?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded. "Yes, Yanrong is narrow-minded and doesn't like Wanqing. She's complaining about her brother being partial to outsiders."
Mrs. Lin made this call, naturally, not to question Lin Xuan, but to confirm her son's emotional state. She had lived for so many years, how could she not tell the truth from the falsehood in Lin Yanrong's words?
But if Ye Wanqing is not that "outsider", wouldn't everything have a reasonable explanation?
When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Yanrong's complaint that "my brother would rather help an outsider than me", she already had the answer in her heart. It was likely that feelings had already sprouted between Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing.
Lin Yanrong knew it clearly in her mind, but she just didn't want to admit the fact that Ye Wanqing was about to become her sister-in-law.
Although the phone call did not ask directly and Lin Xuan did not reveal too much, the fact that he took Ye Wanqing to play mahjong with Qin Huai and others was enough to explain everything.
Lin Xuan was raised by her, and Qin Huai and others were also friends that Lin Xuan had known since childhood. The four of them would get together several times a year, and every time they got together, it was basically just the four of them.
Once upon a time, Xu Xinyi seemed to have tried to integrate into their circle, but this was not the case.
If you pay a little attention, you will find that Xu Xinyi often appears in occasions with more than just a few of them, but whenever they get together, Xu Xinyi is never invited.
Therefore, Mrs. Lin never believed a single iota of the rumors about Lin Xuan and Xu Xinyi. She knew her son intimately.
When the housekeeper heard what Mrs. Lin said, he couldn't help but clasp his hands together, his eyes sparkling with joy: "It seems that it is really fate that Ah Xuan and Miss Ye are together after all!"
Mrs. Lin still remembered the past. She sneered, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "Don't be too happy too soon. The girl may not be willing to marry him!"
The housekeeper smiled even more when he heard this: "Don't you want Miss Ye to come back?"
"What can I hope for? If it were you, could you stand Lin Xuan's temper?"
There was a hint of helplessness and doting in Mrs. Lin's words.
The housekeeper had a different opinion: "Didn't you say before? If Ah Xuan wants to pursue Miss Ye, it will take some time! Now that they are together, I think it won't be long before Ah Xuan completely wakes up!"
Mrs. Lin said something tough, but her heart had softened. "No more talk, no more talk. That's his blessing! It's getting late, I should rest too!"
"You can sleep well, you will have a good dream tonight!" the butler said softly.
"Now you have learned how to coax people!" Mrs. Lin scolded with a smile.
The housekeeper tucked in the quilt for the old lady, then turned and left the room.
After Lin Xuan hung up the phone, he did not return to Ye Wanqing immediately, but called Lin Shuhuai first.
Lin Yanrong's hostility towards Ye Wanqing has been around for a long time. In the past, she was abroad and the two rarely met. In addition, he had no special feelings for Ye Wanqing, so he didn't take it to heart.
However, now, Lin Yanrong has repeatedly spoken rudely to Ye Wanqing, and today she even ran to her mother to complain. He cannot sit idly by.
Lin Yanrong is no longer a child, and he will not force her to like Ye Wanqing, but if she cannot even show the most basic courtesy and respect, then he can only say that he does not have such a sister.
After Lin Xuan finished the call, he returned to the mahjong table and saw that Ye Wanqing had lost two games in a row.
She had just accidentally given Li Chenfeng a card, and although it was only a small win, it still cost her two points. In the third round, Qin Huai won a self-draw, and each player had to pay him six points.
Seeing this, Qin Huai said triumphantly, "You've been on the phone for quite some time. Look, Miss Ye is almost done for."
What Qin Huai said was really biased. Although Ye Wanqing lost two games, she won a hand of twenty-four straight cards at the beginning, and now she still has more than a thousand chips in her hand!
Lin Xuan glanced at Qin Huai, then turned to look at Ye Wanqing and said gently, "Don't listen to his nonsense. The game has just begun."
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness and helplessness in her eyes: "I'm really not very good at this."
