"Xi Yu, it’s been a long time, you’re still as mischievous as ever."
"Hehe, Brother Mubai, you’re back home this time, not leaving again, right?"
"Yeah, I’ve already taken over the Lin Group." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ⓝovelFire.net
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu jumped up from her chair and cheerfully cheered inside the private room, "Yay, yay, now I can see Brother Mubai often."
That happy demeanor would make those unaware think she liked him, much like Zuo Qingfeng, who sat next to her and had been thoroughly ignored by his own fiancée from start to finish. Eventually, he couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up directly, with a gloomy face, went to the little woman cheering, and without saying a word, took hold of her wrist and walked out of the private room amidst the woman’s astonished gaze, while the little woman’s angry protests echoed in his ears: "Zuo Qingfeng, you bastard, what are you doing, let go of me now."
After the two of them disappeared from the private room, everyone exchanged knowing smiles, and Xi Shaoqi shook his head helplessly, then invited everyone to continue playing mahjong. Because Zuo Qingfeng left his seat, with one person missing, Yu Wenhao, who was originally sitting on the sofa accompanying his girlfriend, filled in, and this time, Xi Shaoqi changed positions, sitting where Zuo Qingfeng had been, becoming Lin Mubai’s upper hand.
The sound of mahjong continued to spread in the private room, and no one paid attention to Gao Yuwen, who had just entered. Her face, which had been relatively calm, could no longer remain so; it gradually turned pale. Moreover, she wore a white dress today, creating a pitiful yet charming look.
Sitting on the sofa, Lan Xinxixi looked up at the four men playing mahjong, then turned her head slightly to glance at Gao Yuwen, who stood pitifully at the door, and shook her head helplessly. These men were still the same, always ignoring women they didn’t like. As a fellow woman, she couldn’t help but feel a little compassion and gently beckoned to her, "Go and watch them play mahjong. I think Xi Yu will be back soon."
Who is Lan Xinxixi? She is Lin Mubai’s eldest cousin, the eldest daughter of the Lan family, and a renowned policewoman in the police field. Usually, she doesn’t like to interfere in such matters, but considering this woman is her sister Xi Yu’s friend, she said a word more. After, she continued chatting with the people around her, without intending to pay further attention to Gao Yuwen.
The latter began to slowly make her way to the mahjong table, eventually sitting down between Xi Shaoqi and Lin Mubai.
Xi Shaoqi merely gave her a nonchalant glance without speaking when she sat down. As for Young Master Lin, he didn’t even spare a sidelong glance throughout; however, Gao Yuwen’s heart was inexplicably excited, feeling a certain place pounding as if it would leap out of her chest.
At the same time, her heart grew increasingly unwilling; she and Xi Yu were college classmates, even roommates. She considered herself no worse than Xi Yu in terms of grades and looks, yet Xi Yu had a better family background. Although she entered the entertainment industry earlier than Xi Yu, the latter thrived, while she could only pick minor roles for a long time. It was only with Xi Yu’s support that she acquired her current status in the entertainment industry. But deep down, she still disliked Xi Yu, and just at that very moment, the feeling intensified. Why could Xi Yu receive such special treatment from these heavenly favored ones? Wasn’t it just because she had a better family background? And where was she inferior? Why was she always ignored by these people from beginning to end? Why?
