By the fourth round, Antonio won again, feeling very smug, "This is really something, Lili, you lost again."
Gu Lili responded calmly, "If you manage to wipe out my savings, only then would I truly be impressed."
"Just watch how I annihilate you in the next round."
Gu Lili just smiled and said nothing. Starting from the fifth round, she turned the tables completely, catching Antonio off-guard.
From then on, she not only won back what she had lost but also earned an extra twenty thousand dollars from Antonio, who kept asking, "Were you just playing possum with me, tricking me all along?"
"Not at all, there’s something I may not have told you." Gu Lili took an ice cream handed to her by a servant, eating and speaking, "I’ve always been a quick learner, and as my husband can attest, I picked up computer studies in no time. A child’s play like Mahjong is something I can learn by just watching."
"Oh my God!" Antonio exclaimed, "You’re a freak. Do you know how long it took me to get this good at Mahjong? I fought through thousands of games to reach this level."
"So thousands of games only got you to this level?" Updates are released by novｅlfire.net
Antonio was deeply hit, "You really are something."
After Mahjong, Long Tianjiao pulled Gu Lili into the bedroom upstairs and spoke very formally, "Sister-in-law, I actually came today to ask you about something."
"What is it? Just tell me."
"How can you make someone who dislikes you like you?"
Gu Lili was taken aback, "Why are you asking me this question?"
"I don’t know who else to ask. My sister hasn’t figured out her own love life; she’s so single-minded that asking her would be pointless."
Gu Lili stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit down on the sofa, "Come sit here."
Long Tianjiao sat beside her, and Gu Lili turned to look at her, "Actually, all of us have noticed that you like Liang He. If you want your sister-in-law to help, then you must tell her the truth."
"Since everyone has noticed, there’s no use in me hiding it anymore." Long Tianjiao looked down at her hands, "I had never shown it before, and too much time has passed. It was only when I heard he was going to have a blind date that I panicked. After that gathering, I didn’t sleep all night, feeling inexplicably suffocated, and only when I heard from mom that his blind date didn’t work out did I breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, I don’t want to pester him relentlessly like Ye Ying does with Brother Congmo—it’s quite off-putting. But I also want to be more proactive because I realize if I don’t take the initiative, he might never notice me. Plus, I know there are many who like him, including his agent who is also always hanging around him. I can’t get close to him, and I don’t know how to bridge the gap between us."
These words clearly came straight from her heart.
"Your brother and I have also noticed that Shi Xiaotian likes him, but she keeps it to herself and hasn’t spoken up. Plus, I heard from your brother that Liang He doesn’t like to get involved with people too close to home, and considering his family, it would not be easy for them to be together. Shi Xiaotian probably understands this too."
"Sister-in-law, you really don’t understand Liang He’s temperament," Long Tianjiao said anxiously. "If he likes someone, he wouldn’t care about his family’s circumstances at all. When it came to his passion for performing arts, he never once asked for help from his family, let alone for someone he likes. Since Shi Xiaotian spends all day with him, it’s natural for her to have an advantage, ’The nearer the church, the further from God’."
