71 Playing Mahjong
◎ Is Miss Song so afraid of me? (Additional update)◎
"Can you beat up that lunatic Liang Minchi again in private?"
Song Shixi curled her lips and couldn't help but reveal her true thoughts.
If it wasn't on the Liang family's territory and today wasn't the old man's birthday, she wouldn't have needed to waste time talking and could have just let Qin Yue take action. After all, she had seen his skills before, so wouldn't it be easy for him to take care of that pretty boy Liang Minchi?
That kind of person is a scoundrel and deserves a slap!
Of course, she chose to take a step back. The most important thing was that if they really broke down in public, it would not be a good thing for Qin Yue and the Qin family.
It's not their fault, why should they bear unnecessary losses?
But now that she'd calmed down, she couldn't help but worry. She'd publicly humiliated Liang Minchi. Would that lunatic, irritated and angry, turn on them? This was Hong Kong, after all. In this day and age, the underworld and the underworld were interconnected. Would the stories from those old Hong Kong movies not happen to them?
Moreover, his previous words made people break out in cold sweats when they thought about them. He was actually spying on them!
Just as she was about to talk to Qin Yue about this, she heard his serious reply: "Okay."
Song Shixi subconsciously turned her head to look at him, and met his gaze. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her. His eyes were incredibly gentle, and there was a hint of admiration and relief in them, as well as a hint of pride. As if she had done something to make him proud.
She thought it was her own illusion, but Qin Yue said bluntly: "You scolded me well just now."
To be honest, she didn't think it was a big deal, but now that she heard him say that, she felt her cheeks getting hot, and her heart was filled with ripples. She scratched her palms uncomfortably and said coquettishly, "You just know how to make fun of me."
Qin Yue's eyes fell on her face without missing a beat, and he said with a smile, "How can this be a joke?"
It's not a joke, it's sincere.
In the noisy environment, she could clearly hear her heartbeat getting faster and heavier.
If it were someone else in the situation just now, they might not care about the injustice she suffered at all, and would only blame her for being a beauty and causing trouble, causing the relationship between the two parties to further reach a freezing point. Even more bizarrely, they would ask her to apologize and take the initiative to ease the relationship.
But Qin Yue didn't. From beginning to end, his expression and words seemed to tell her that no matter what she did, he would always stand behind her, be her strongest backing, and affirm everything about her.
I have to say, this feels really good.
Song Shixi curled his lips and chuckled, then expressed his concerns.
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." Qin Yue's expression did not change, and he held her hand with his fingers clasped together.
Feeling the heat and strength coming from his palm, Song Shixi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Liang Fucai and others caught up with him. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a strange middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Qin, Miss Song, we apologize for not welcoming you in person. Our master invites you."
Song Shixi raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. It seemed that although Mr. Liang had been staying in the room, he was well aware of the situation outside. Otherwise, he would not have sent someone so timely and accurately said her last name.
Yes, how could someone who can support such a big business be someone who turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside?
She silently stopped talking and continued walking forward with the crowd, stopping only when they entered a large room. As soon as the two of them arrived, everyone who had been sitting on the sofa stood up and took the initiative to give up the seat closest to the main seat.
"Coming?"
Mr. Liang is nearly sixty years old and has a lot of white hair, but you can still tell that he must have been very handsome when he was young. He wears a pair of round-framed glasses on his nose, which blocks some of his deep and deep eyes. He has a kind smile on his face and his tone is friendly but not overly enthusiastic.
Qin Yue took Song Shixi's hand and walked straight to the main seat. He extended his hand to greet Mr. Liang and said a few words of birthday wishes.
Mr. Liang smiled even more deeply and pulled him to sit down with him. He seemed to be completely unaware of what had just happened. He asked them in a casual and relaxed manner how they had been doing in Hong Kong these days. The casual conversation eased the atmosphere a lot.
With him like this, Qin Yue and Song Shixi certainly wouldn't take the initiative to mention unpleasant things.
Not long after, a woman who was unknown to be Mr. Liang's concubine walked up behind Song Shixi, half bent down, patted her shoulder, and asked, "There are a few mahjong tables next door. I wonder if Miss Song is interested?"
Song Shixi sat upright on the sofa, waved the man's hand away without leaving a trace, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he said ambiguously: "I'm not very good at fighting."
Proposing to take her to play mahjong alone at this time was obviously an excuse to get her away. They had something to talk to Qin Yue about alone.
But no matter whether Qin Yuetong agreed to the invitation for a private chat or not, he couldn't agree to it so easily.
No matter when, you must take the initiative in your own hands.
Hearing that Song Shixi was not completely uninterested, the man rolled his eyes and said with a subtle smile: "Then how about this, the newcomers will fight with the newcomers, we won't bully Miss Song."
Then he said to Qin Yue jokingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, she won't get lost. I will take good care of her."
What this means is that no matter who loses miserably today, that person will not be Song Shixi.
Song Shixi pretended to hesitate and glanced at Qin Yue. Their eyes met in mid-air. She looked away, pursed her lips, then stood up and said, "Okay then."
"Have fun." Qin Yue held her hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Song Shixi nodded, pulled his hand back, and followed the man away.
After chatting, Song Shixi realized that the person in front of him was Liang Fucai's mother and Mr. Liang's third concubine.
When they arrived at the chess and card room, there were already four tables set up. Hou Wenmin led her to a new room and left.
There were three young women sitting in the room who looked to be in their twenties. They were all young and beautiful, and their clothes were well-dressed. It was obvious at a glance that they were daughters of well-off families.
As soon as Song Shixi appeared, they came up to her with smiles on their faces, calling her Miss Song one by one. It was obvious that they had communicated with each other in advance and came to have fun with her.
"Miss Song is so beautiful. I don't think many of the Hong Kong beauties can be as pretty as you."
"Is this dress from Chanel's couture collection? I've seen it before, but I couldn't bring myself to buy it. It suits Miss Song so well, it puts all of us outshining her."
"I heard that Miss Song will be staying in Hong Kong for a few more days. If you are free, please ask me out for shopping. I know which hair perm shop is the best and which facial shop is the most effective. If you ask me out, I will definitely be there at your beck and call."
Everyone was talking at once, almost praising Song Shixi to the skies, but how much truth there was in their talk was only known to them.
They all had fake smiles on their faces, and Song Shixi was no better. With an attitude of neither offending nor making friends, he accepted all the compliments. As for the invitations, he neither refused nor accepted them, but deliberately beat around the bush and just said that he would definitely make an appointment when he was free.
After a few rounds of mahjong, those people were speechless and had some new understanding of Song Shixi.
This person is definitely not as pretty as she seems. She is smart, gets along well with everyone, and takes everything into consideration. She doesn't offend anyone, and yet, no one can find fault with her. She is truly a wonderful person.
"Oops, sorry, I masturbated again."
She is beautiful and she is dressed up today. Her fair face is tinged with a light blush, and her smile makes her look even more charming, making people unable to help but look at her again and again.
"Is Miss Song really a newbie? She wins every time."
Someone said something coquettishly.
Song Shixi collected the chips from the three parties and waved his hand modestly: "Normally, I lose nine out of ten times. I don't know what happened today, but I got so lucky."
She really didn't know how to play mahjong here. The reason she knew the rules was because there was a little girl from Hong Kong in her previous life's team who taught her a few times.
The reason why the game is going so smoothly now is not only partly due to luck, but mainly because the other three players are deliberately letting the game go.
Everyone knows this, but they just don't say it out loud.
After fighting for about half an hour, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside. Everyone heard the noise and subconsciously looked towards the door, and saw a white figure walking in swaggeringly.
Song Shixi frowned and stopped drawing cards.
"Brother Minchi, why are you here?"
The girl sitting opposite Song Shixi suddenly stood up from her seat, her eyes full of surprise and smile.
Liang Minchi didn't look at her, his eyes were fixed on Song Shixi. She was wearing a dark green long dress, her black hair was all tied up in a beautiful and special flower bud style, embellished with a diamond headdress, and the light from the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling sprinkled on her, just as shining as she was.
That delicate little face showed her undisguised disgust towards him, but instead of being displeased, she even felt like laughing.
Liang Minchi's eyes darkened slightly, and he took a step forward with his long legs, landing behind Song Shixi intentionally or unintentionally, only half a palm's distance away from her back. He replied first: "Boring, come and take a look."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and slowly glanced at her cards, then pointed to one of them and said, "Play this one."
As soon as the words fell, regardless of Song Shixi's expression, the expressions of everyone else changed, especially the person who was still standing, whose curious eyes kept darting back and forth among them.
Didn't Auntie Hou say this person was Qin Yue's girlfriend? Why does she seem so close to Brother Minchi?
Song Shixi took in everyone's reactions and cursed Liang Minchi in his heart, while sneering unceremoniously, "If you have nothing better to do than lick the toilet seat, stop bossing us around. Mahjong is what we hate most."
After saying that, he played another card.
For a moment, there was no sound in the room except for the crisp sound of cards hitting the table.
The others suddenly held their breath, not daring to breathe, and their eyes changed as they looked at her. Did she even know who was behind her? How dare she curse so harshly?
This is not just a close relationship, it is obviously a deep hatred.
Liang Minchi himself didn't have any special reaction. He was just stunned for a moment, then walked around to the opposite side of Song Shixi and said, "Indeed, watching chess in silence is the same as playing cards."
He gently pushed aside the man who was still standing and said with a faint smile: "Want to go to the bathroom? I'll help you with two rounds."
The female voice was stunned for two seconds, then came to her senses, "Thank you, Minchi brother."
Since he said so, she had to go even if she didn't want to, or at least pretend to go.
The door opened and closed again, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
"After looking at the cards of both teams, why should we play anymore? I won't play anymore." Song Shixi leaned back and looked at his nails with a lack of interest.
Liang Minchi knew that she simply didn't want to fight him, and the smile in his eyes deepened. Then he glanced at her overflowing drawer and said in an ambiguous tone, "You want to leave just because you win? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
Song Shixi rolled her eyes. Today's card game was specifically for her to win money. Even if she won all the chips, no one would say anything.
"Miss Song, are you so afraid of fighting me?" Liang Minchi shrugged. "If you can't afford to lose, forget it."
If soft tactics don't work, then use hard tactics? Unfortunately, Song Shixi didn't take the provocation. She just pretended not to hear and said to the other two people, "Let's wait until she comes back before continuing."
The two men didn't dare to respond and just smiled awkwardly.
Liang Minchi looked at her stubborn expression, gnashing his teeth. He toyed with a card and said suddenly, "This round doesn't count. I'll pay out to all three parties and we can continue to the next round, how about that?"
