Chapter 60 This is the pocket money your husband gave you.
The little incident at the hospital did not affect Shi Yang's mood.
Ji Peiheng led Shi Yang to a private club.
On the way, I told her, "It's Wen Huai'an's birthday party tonight, I'll take you there."
When they arrived, the others were already there.
Shi Yang took Ji Peiheng's arm and went inside. She could clearly feel everyone fall silent for a moment, with all sorts of curious eyes looking at her.
Wen Huai'an was the first to break the deadlock: "You're late again. You'll have to drink a penalty shot later."
Shi Yang sent his birthday wishes to Wen Huai'an: "Happy birthday."
Wen Huai'an smiled back: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xie Ran waved lazily to her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
The others followed suit and greeted him as well.
Xie Ran said, "My brother has kept you hidden so well, how could he bear to bring you out today?"
This can be considered Shi Yang's first formal meeting with Ji Peiheng's friend.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Fortunately, everyone seemed easy to get along with.
Ji Peiheng is considered the most mysterious figure in the industry. There has never been any news of him having a woman by his side. He is like the bright moon in the sky, hanging alone.
Suddenly they got married, and even though they were married, they didn't make it public until today. Who would have thought they'd suddenly show up with their wives today?
Shi Yang wasn't very familiar with anyone, so she sat quietly next to Ji Peiheng.
He listened to their conversation with a calm expression.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
A lively female voice rang out from the doorway.
Shi Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl dressed in a trendy outfit, wearing a leather skirt, Martin boots, and a high ponytail.
"Wanwan, have some manners," Wen Huai'an scolded.
Wen Wanwan stuck out her tongue, ignored him, and continued to say to Ji Peiheng, "Brother Peiheng, you are so lucky to have found such a beautiful sister-in-law."
Wen Huai'an introduced, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, this is my sister, that's just her personality."
Ji Peiheng lowered his head and added, "They are twins, a boy and a girl."
Xie Ran said, "Wanwan, you're not being fair. You greet your Pei Heng brother but not your Xie Ran brother."
Wen Wanwan snorted and dodged his embrace: "Who doesn't know that you, Young Master Xie, have been with a string of women? I'd better stay away from you."
"Hey, you little brat."
Shi Yang looked at Wen Wanwan curiously. She and Wen Huai'an were indeed twins, they looked very alike.
But their personalities are completely different.
Wen Huai'an is easygoing and quiet, while Wen Wanwan is lively and outgoing.
Since Wen Wanwan arrived, the scene has become much more lively.
Wen Wanwan can talk to anyone, and her mouth is never still.
She sat down next to Shi Yang, her curiosity practically written all over her face: "Sister-in-law, how did you and Pei Heng meet?"
Shi Yang said, "We've known each other for a long time."
"Sister-in-law, I've been studying abroad and just came back recently. When I heard that Pei Heng got married, I was stunned. I thought he would never get married again because of that girl."
Upon hearing those key words in the conversation, Shi Yang was taken aback.
Wen Wanwan never thinks before she speaks, and no one knows what she'll say next. Wen Huai'an didn't even have time to stop her and elbowed her from the side.
Wen Wanwan realized something was wrong and abruptly changed the subject: "Ahem... I meant you guys... Hahaha, let's drink..."
People are always busy when they're in an awkward situation.
She gulped down most of a glass of wine by herself and then went to find Xie Ran to play.
We left this temporarily awkward place.
Shi Yang wasn't oblivious to Wen Huai'an's nervousness; she turned to look at the man beside her.
He was wearing a more casual suit today, his figure was tall and slender, and his demeanor was refined and elegant. He sat languidly on the sofa, the flickering light on his face carrying a hint of listlessness.
He acted as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't heard what Wen Wanwan said at all.
Before Shi Yang could think it over again, Wen Wanwan waved from the other side: "Brother Pei Heng, sister-in-law, come and play mahjong."
"Brother Xie Ran said that Brother Pei Heng won against him last time because he wasn't prepared, and he's going to get revenge this time."
Ji Peiheng scoffed: "Then tell him to find a master and study for another two years."
He asked Shi Yang, "Want to play for a while?"
Shi Yang shook his head: "I don't know how to play, I'll watch you guys play."
She sat close to Ji Peiheng, watching them play mahjong.
Ji Peiheng was always the first to push out his cards: "Clean hand, five flowers."
Xie Ran retorted, "Damn it! I just got close to winning!"
The next round started quickly, and not long after, Ji Peiheng pushed out another tile: "Luxury Seven Pairs, self-drawn."
After several rounds, Shi Yang watched as Ji Peiheng won from beginning to end.
Wen Wanwan scattered the cards, a smirk playing on her lips: "Playing with Pei Heng is always the most boring game; he just crushes us one-sidedly."
Wen Huai'an sighed in defeat: "Who doesn't know that Ji Peiheng is good at counting cards? Playing with him is like having too much money to burn."
Xie Ran shouted, "A bet's a bet! A bet's a bet! Give me the payment code!"
Ji Peiheng tilted his head and said, "Take out your phone."
Shi Yang took out his phone and opened the payment code.
At first, she thought it wasn't much money, but she was stunned when she saw the numbers appearing one after another!
Two million eight hundred and fifty thousand!
Xie Ran and his team lost three million to Ji Peiheng!
Are we playing this big?
Wen Huai'an noticed her surprise and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so surprised. Xie Ran lost a car to Pei Heng not long ago."
That's too many.
Shi Yang swallowed hard and said softly, "Or maybe I should just transfer it back to you."
Ji Peiheng patted her head and smiled, "This is pocket money from your husband."
Wen Wanwan refused to play with Ji Peiheng anymore and turned her bright eyes to Shi Yang: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let my brother rest for a while and you play with us for a bit?"
If Shi Yang still had the desire to play back then, he wouldn't dare to now.
What if she loses several million?
"Hey sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Anyway, your brother just won over two million to cover your losses. Why don't you give it a try..."
Ji Peiheng put his arm around her shoulder and pinched her earlobe with his fingers: "Play for a while if you want."
Since things have come to this point, it would seem petty for her to refuse again.
She switched places with Ji Peiheng: "I know the rules, but I haven't played much, so please go easy on me."
"Haha, no way..."
Ji Peiheng is always very busy, and he gets a lot of work calls when he's out. He stood up and said, "You keep playing, I'll take this call."
"Uh-huh……"
Shi Yang ignored him; her eyes were fixed on the cards.
Surprisingly, Shi Yang won a few rounds, which greatly boosted her confidence.
He straightened his back and became increasingly bold.
Just when she thought her luck had turned around, starting from the fourth round, she embarked on a path of losing every single round.
Either she's the one who gives Xie Ran a winning hand, or Wen Wanwan is the one who wins by herself.
Shi Yang belatedly realized: "You guys weren't doing that on purpose in the first few rounds, were you?"
Wen Wanwan smiled slyly: "That's why I say sister-in-law is smart. What if we didn't give in to her and scared her away from the start?"
When Ji Peiheng returned, he saw Shi Yang with a mournful little face.
"I gambled away all my allowance."
