Although he was forced to sit at the card table, Fu Sheng's eyes never left Ji Yuqi.
He said to Yan Ce with a faint smile on his face, "Yan Ling should know that I am from Ye City. The customs there give women high family status. Even though I am mixed in the 'Ye clan', I still can't change my henpecked nature. Not only am I soft-hearted, I am also a coward, and I have very low status."
The words were spoken in a teasing tone.
Obviously a joke.
However, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Not only did no one answer.
Yan Ce and Gong Xian both looked choked.
The man sitting in the main seat picked up the black cigarette box with the Pei family's Teng diagram printed on it from the storage table, took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He slowly lit it with a lighter, then cast his cold and gloomy gaze straight at Yan Ce, who was still holding Fu Sheng.
When Yan Ce received Pei Yucheng's gaze, he was obviously a little confused.
When I understood the message, I felt a little aggrieved.
Why are you still glaring at me?!
It was Fu who was shameless and had to distort the facts to gain favor in front of Ji Yuqi.
What does it have to do with him? !
Even though Pei Yucheng only took a glance.
It moved away in an instant.
But Yan Ce was still frightened.
The man surnamed Fu is really too insidious and scheming, and he is very good at climbing up the ladder.
Of course Yan Ce didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that derogatory words could always be made so sound.
While he was secretly thinking about how to embarrass the Fu family, Pei Yucheng took a deep drag on his cigarette. After slowly exhaling the white smoke, he said in a hoarse, low voice: "This is the imperial clan circle, what's the point of talking about the Ye clan circle?! If you really can't adapt, then there's no need to mix with it anymore."
“…” Ji Yuqi.
What's the subtext of Pei Yucheng's words? !
Are you not allowing Fu Sheng to enter the imperial clan?!
I have known Fu Sheng since childhood.
Fu Sheng seems to have a very good temper, but in fact he is not easy to mess with.
Fearing that Fu Sheng and Pei Yucheng would start arguing, Gong Xian quickly jumped out and said, "Don't we want to play cards?! Time is running out, quickly ask the waiter to bring the chips."
Gong Xian signaled his female companion to press the call bell.
The female companion did as she was told.
Pei Yucheng sat in the main seat.
Just now, Yan Ce pushed Fu Sheng to the seat on the right side of Pei Yucheng.
When choosing a seat, Gong Xian of course chose to sit opposite Fu Sheng.
And Yan Ce naturally sat opposite Pei Yucheng.
Services in the fortified areas are all one-on-one.
Seeing Gong Xian's female companion, after pressing the call bell, she sat on the small chair next to Gong Xian. While Ji Yuqi was still wondering where to sit, the door of the private room was knocked.
The door was pushed open.
The waiter stood respectfully at the door and asked if you needed any service.
Gong Xian: "Take four boxes of chips."
Waiter: "What denomination of chips do you need?!"
Yan Ce: "The largest denomination."
After the waiter closed the door, Ji Yuqi hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the card table.
According to the rules of viewing cards at the table, one usually sits on the left side of the player. Since she was the female companion brought by Fu Sheng, it was natural for her to sit on Fu Sheng's left. And on Fu Sheng's left was Pei Yucheng.
But Pei Yucheng was smoking.
Worried that inhaling too much secondhand smoke would be bad for the baby in her belly, Ji Yuqi planned to move the small chair to Fu Sheng's right side.
However.
Just as she put the small chair down, Yan Ce suddenly said, "Don't sit next to me. There will be no room for Ye Wanqing to come in later, and the people sitting on the other side will block my way to draw cards."
