Since Gu Anxi was coming home that night, Mrs. Bo was overjoyed and personally cooked a table full of mouth-watering dishes.
Wang Keru was stunned.
Granny Chen floated by. "Look at that!"
Overwhelmed with shame, Wang Keru eagerly decided to learn.
As a result, she almost caused a fire in the kitchen!!!
Granny Chen floated by again. "It seems there are things you just can’t force."
Wang Keru wanted to stomp her foot.
But one look from Granny Chen made her swallow her protests. Wang Keru complained to Mrs. Bo, "I’m living like a grandson!"
Mrs. Bo consoled her patiently, "Let Anxi take the lead; Granny Chen loves her the most."
Wang Keru instantly saw a glimmer of hope again.
Everybody was afraid of Granny Chen, but Granny Chen seemed to fear Anxi, so essentially, Anxi held the most power. And since I’m Anxi’s mother, after some thought, it ultimately meant that I, Wang Keru, was the most powerful! This realization made Madam Wang ecstatic for half a day. That’s the logic!
As they were talking, Bo Xichen’s car pulled into the villa’s driveway. Mrs. Bo immediately went to embrace her dear darling. "Baby, are you hungry? Mommy Bo has cooked lots of delicious food."
Bo Xichen, who had just gotten out of the car, heard his mother call Anxi that way and raised an eyebrow at Gu Anxi.
Leaning against Mrs. Bo, Gu Anxi made a face at him.
Bo Xichen simply smiled and carried the painting into the living room.
The moment he entered, Mr. Bo eagerly approached, took the painting, and began to examine it closely, unwilling to miss a single inch.
A masterpiece indeed!
While examining the painting, Mr. Bo offhandedly asked, "How come Qin Han was willing to let it go?"
Gu Anxi replied earnestly, "It was probably too painful for him to keep it at home now. Plus, he needs money."
"How much did you buy it for?" Mr. Bo was extremely satisfied.
Gu Anxi whispered a price.
Mr. Bo raised an eyebrow. "So low, huh."
He then chuckled. "Our Anxi is really capable."
Looking at his son, he remarked, "You’re really blessed."
Bo Xichen just smiled, standing next to his father.
At this moment, Granny Chen called everyone to dinner, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
After dinner, Mr. Bo was eager to admire the painting again. Mrs. Bo had been away from Beicheng for several days, and her hands were itching for a game, so she called everyone to play Mahjong.
She was one player, and Wang Keru another. Granny Chen didn’t join because her eyesight was poor, but Bo Xichen did. They needed one more player, so in the end, Gu Anxi was pulled to the table.
While shuffling the tiles, Gu Anxi softly said, "I’m not that proficient at Mahjong."
Mrs. Bo said cheerfully, "Don’t worry, Xichen will go easy on you."
Gu Anxi obediently murmured, "Oh," and then joined the game.
In the first round, Gu Anxi had a minor win, and everyone chatted and laughed.
In the second round, Gu Anxi won with a Pung hand.
Everyone grudgingly handed over chips worth two hundred thousand. Mrs. Bo, while shuffling the tiles, said, "Pretty good, considering you said you didn’t know how to play."
Gu Anxi smiled. "I’m just having good luck."
In the third round, a pure suit. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
In the fourth round, a pure suit.
In the fifth round, a pure suit.
Gu Anxi kept winning every round.
Mrs. Bo looked at her son. "You can’t go *that* easy on her! Let us win a round too, or we’ll all get sleepy."
Bo Xichen smiled. "I’m not going easy on her."
Everyone stared at Gu Anxi, utterly shocked.
Did she do this herself?
Her Mahjong skills were outrageously exceptional?
But she just said she didn’t know how to play!
Gu Anxi wore an innocent expression. "I really haven’t played much before!"
