"Whatever you like, it's better than having a stepmother."
Wen Lu really couldn't accept the title of "little aunt." She was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she simply couldn't accept hearing this title.
The group looked at each other and realized that Wen Lu was actually quite approachable now, not as unapproachable as they had previously thought. It seemed that Wen Lu could still get along with them.
Wen Lu sat down at the card table, looking at them indifferently. "Don't worry, if I can afford to gamble, I can afford to lose. If I lose, I will definitely give you money."
Unexpectedly, Wen Lu said that. Chi Yanzhou scratched his head a little embarrassedly, smiled slightly, and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone.
"I'm so sorry, I know Sister Lu is rich, but Sister Lu saved my life today, how can I win her money? Don't worry, my main goal today is to make Sister Lu happy."
Chi Yanzhou is a very perceptive person. It is because of his smooth personality that he was able to infiltrate Wang Jinyu's circle. Otherwise, given the status of the Chi family, it would have been extremely difficult for him to get in touch with Wang Jinyu.
Hearing Chi Yanzhou's flattering words, Wen Lu smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "There's no need to make things special. Playing cards is just about having fun. If you're going to act like this, then there's really no need for that."
Over the years, Wen Lu has always relied on her own abilities to get things done, and she has never let anyone go easy on her. She likes to conquer everyone with her strength, and the same goes for playing cards. She is willing to accept defeat and has the best sportsmanship.
After listening to Wen Lu's words, the three of them looked at each other and gave each other a thumbs up, saying, "Sister Lu is so straightforward."
After the group finished chatting, Chi Yanzhou pressed a button on the table a few days later to start shuffling the mahjong tiles. The sound of the tiles clattering in the shuffling machine was exceptionally crisp.
Gu Yao naturally pulled up a chair and sat down behind Wen Lu. She looked at the men at the mahjong table, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She wondered if they would still be so happy when the game ended.
Chi Yanzhou was completely oblivious to the danger. He continued to look at Wen Lu ingratiatingly and chatted casually with her.
"Sister Lu, how's your mahjong game? Do you need me to explain the rules to you? Have you ever played this kind of card game before? I've heard about your past. Families like the Wen family wouldn't allow you to have any leisure time, would they?"
Chi Yanzhou looked at Wen Lu with sympathy. It was no secret that Wen Lu was having a bad time in the Wen family. These people were all shrewd and had already investigated Wen Lu's identity after learning about her relationship with Wang Jinyu.
Wen Lu looked at Chi Yanzhou's concerned expression and nodded casually. She didn't deny her card skills, nor did she boast. She just gave them an expression and let them judge for themselves.
Looking at Wen Lu's expression, these people naturally assumed that Wen Lu's card skills were not very good. Since Wen Lu's card skills were not very good, they felt that they should let her win. Their purpose today was to make Wen Lu happy, and they couldn't really win Wen Lu's money.
If they bullied Wen Lu badly today, Wang Jinyu would definitely find another way to retaliate, so they were very smart and knew what they should do.
Having figured out how to do this, Chi Yanzhou gave the other two people at the card table a wink, signaling them not to bully anyone.
The other two would quickly give Chi Yanzhou a look, indicating that they understood.
Gu Yao sat to the side, taking in all the eye contact between the people. She smiled gently, stood up, poured a glass of water, and placed it beside Wen Lu.
Wen Lu smiled gently as she watched Gu Yao take care of her so naturally. It was indeed more natural to get along with her after acknowledging her identity; otherwise, the awkwardness between them was quite uncomfortable.
Qian Lailai didn't understand why Wen Lu and Gu Yao's relationship had suddenly become so good. They used to be so strange to each other, how come they're like best brothers all of a sudden?
After watching for a while, Qian Lailai felt a headache coming on, so she went back to her room to rest.
It was Wen Lu's turn to be the dealer. She took the dice, tossed them twice in her palm, and threw them out. It was seven, which was exactly the number she was taking from in front of Chi Yanzhou.
Wen Lu arranged the cards, held the fourteen cards on both sides with his fingers, slid them smoothly, aligned them with the edge of the table, flipped the whole row over, and then pushed them forward.
Using almost all ten fingers at once, she rearranged the cards in a second, her swift and efficient movements attracting the attention of everyone watching.
The group of people looked quite professional, and it seemed like they were having a good time in Wenlu.
Then, when Wen Lu lost three games in a row and handed over 100,000 yuan to each of the three people at the table, everyone looked speechless. They didn't expect that Wen Lu was just a show-off.
At this moment, Chi Yanzhou spoke up again, feeling that they had gone a bit too far, and immediately stopped them.
"Oh dear, we were just saying we'd let Sister Lu win, but now look at this, we have 100,000 chips in our hands! We can't live with ourselves!"
Chi Yanzhou knew that Wen Lu's card skills were not good, but he never expected that Wen Lu's card skills were this bad. If he had known, he would have let Wen Lu win more.
He really couldn't figure out Wen Lu's playing style. He was trying his best to match Wen Lu's strategy. He felt that every card he played was what Wen Lu needed, but in the end, Wen Lu neither touched nor ate them. He was so worried that he wanted to just look at Wen Lu's cards directly.
But he didn't dare.
Looking at the 100,000 yuan in his hand, Chi Yanzhou's face turned somewhat awkward, and he sincerely apologized to Wen Lu.
"I'm sorry, Sister Lu, maybe it's because I'm sitting across from you that I've affected your mood and your card playing skills."
After hearing Chi Yanzhou's words, Gu Yao, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spit it out. It was the first time she had heard such an outrageous statement, and she had never heard of winning or losing being related to the person sitting opposite her.
Wen Lu listened to Chi Yanzhou's words, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. It was the first time she had heard such a statement, and she nodded indifferently.
"Indeed, I don't really like your card-playing skills. Your fawning attitude is too obvious and it's affecting my mood. If you can play, then play properly. If you can't, then find someone else. This isn't very comfortable."
Feeling a little embarrassed that Wen Lu had seen through his little tricks, Chi Yanzhou coughed lightly and apologized to Wen Lu.
"Sister Lu, I didn't know you didn't like my playing style, but don't worry, I definitely won't do it again. I promise I'll play better next time, and this money..."
"It's alright, you won. I've said before, I can afford to lose as well as I can afford to play," Wen Lu said expressionlessly. "Besides, this is also my gift to you."
