Shen Jingxuan raised her head and glanced at Xiao Chen's handsome face. Her heart was filled with happiness. She didn't expect that she could still live with Mengying and Xiao Chen peacefully after going through so many hardships.
"Uh … Actually, I don't really know how to play mahjong. How about … I play this!" Xiao Chen scratched his head and pointed at a mahjong tile.
Xiao Chen didn't use his divine sense to look at the cards of the other three families. It was unnecessary, and he was too lazy to do so. So, he just pointed at a tile.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Shen Jingxuan nodded with a smile on her face. She picked up the mahjong tile and slammed it on the table. She shouted, "Thirty thousand!"
"Aiyo, I won! Hehehe, thank you, Boss Shen! Little brother Xiao Chen is really a lucky star! "
"Eh? I think I won too … Shuangshuang, help me take a look. Am I right? "
"Let me see … Yes, yes, don't worry. You can push it down. I won too, hehe!"
Xie Fei, Lin Ke-er, and Lu Shuangshuang pushed the mahjong tiles in front of them onto the table. The three of them looked at Shen Jingxuan at the same time and extended their palms upwards, preparing to ask for the gambling stake. Then, they stared at Xiao Chen with a sinister smile, rejoicing in his misfortune.
"Ah?! Three shots in one shot … Xiao Chen, did you do it on purpose? " Shen Jingxuan was instantly dumbfounded. She patted Xiao Chen lightly and said coquettishly, "You must have peeked at their cards, then turned around to trick me! What you did was wrong! "
"Uh … I really didn't. I just randomly pointed at one. Who knew it would be so accurate!" Xiao Chen touched his nose awkwardly and defended himself weakly.
Looking at the three fair palms in front of her, Shen Jingxuan glared at Xiao Chen and scolded, "It's all your fault. You made me fire the firecracker. You have to pay for this round!"
"Oh, alright …" Xiao Chen nodded his head in embarrassment. He reached into his pocket and took out a few spirit crystals. In the end, he only took out a few pieces of spirit crystals. He couldn't find any cash for a long time, so he could only smile sheepishly and say, "That … Why don't I use the spirit crystals to pay off the debt first? I'll pay you back when I have cash later! "
Shen Jingxuan tried her best to keep a straight face, but when she saw Xiao Chen's pitiful look, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I was just joking! Look at how poor you are. I'll just pay myself! "
Xie Fei covered her mouth and laughed, shaking her head as she glared at Xiao Chen. Lin Ke-er and Lu Shuangshuang whispered in each other's ears for a while, their gazes occasionally drifting towards Xiao Chen. It was unknown what they were talking about, but Lu Shuangshuang started giggling, while Lin Ke-er's face turned slightly red, and she punched Xiao Chen unwillingly.
Xiao Chen was about to ask Lu Shuangshuang what they were talking about when Shen Jingxuan suddenly pointed to the backyard and said, "Oh right, Hong Zhu and Hong Yan seemed to have had a little conflict just now. Why don't you go and ask them what happened? You won't be able to help anyway. Instead, you'll cause me to lose money because of you! "
"No way, the two sisters haven't reconciled yet?" Xiao Chen asked in bewilderment. Seeing that Shen Jingxuan didn't know the reason, he hurriedly walked toward the backyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Chen saw Hong Zhu and Hong Yan arguing about something. Both sides seemed to be unwilling to give in. Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoye and Song Huawu were standing to the side, trying their best to mediate between the two.
"Big Sister, how can you say that? These two are clearly an adulterous couple, yet you're still speaking up for them? I really don't know what's going on in your head! " Hong Yan angrily pouted and shouted with a flushed face. Her chest was heaving up and down. It was obvious that she was very angry.
"I say, did you even read that book properly? Ximen Qing is clearly a very successful businessman. He even solved the employment problems of many middle-aged women. Moreover, a fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in. Pan Jinlian abandoned Wu Dalang and married Ximen Qing for the sake of a better quality of life. What's wrong with that? I think there's something wrong with your worldview! "Hong Zhu was not to be outdone. She waved her little fist and argued.
"You … you're simply taking things out of context …" Hong Yan shook her head in a very unconvinced manner. Just as she was about to continue retorting, Song Huawu hurriedly stopped her and mediated, "Alright, alright, both of you, stop arguing. What's there to argue about such a trivial matter? Since our viewpoints are different, there's no need to discuss it any further. Both of you should calm down! "
"That's right. Everyone, have some juice! It's a good way to cool down on such a hot day. This is fresh orange juice that Steward Yue just squeezed. It's quite delicious! " Ye Xiaoye casually picked up two glasses of juice from the side and placed them in front of Hong Zhu and Hong Yan. When she saw the two women drink the juice, her expression relaxed and she lightly patted her chest.
"I say … aren't you two a little too senseless? Is something like this really worth arguing about? " Xiao Chen, who had been listening to the side for a long time, finally understood the reason behind the two women's argument. He could not help but chuckle.
Rather than saying that the two sisters were quarreling, it would be more accurate to say that they were bickering. In any case, the two sisters had very different viewpoints, and they would basically have opposite opinions on every matter.
Previously, after the two of them had untied the knot in their hearts, they would still have minor conflicts from time to time even though they had reconciled. However, it was very rare for them to truly break up because of this. In the past, everyone would surround them and mediate between them. Later on, they had gotten used to it and would only send two people to stop the quarrel.
"Husband Xiao Chen, you've come at the right time. Hurry up and help Big Sister teach her a lesson! Really, she doesn't even have the slightest sense of right and wrong. I'm so angry! " Hong Zhu immediately stood up when he saw Xiao Chen walking over. She gently leaned against his shoulder and made a smug face at Hong Yan.
Hong Yan rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen and shouted in displeasure, "Big Sister, how can you be like this? Colluding with outsiders to bully me? Isn't this too unfair?"
"Xiao Chen is not an outsider! He's Big Sister's official husband … "Hong Zhu straightforwardly hugged Xiao Chen's arm and said with a grin. However, before she could finish speaking, the melodious sound of the doorbell rang out from outside.
Although Yue Shaojiao was in the kitchen, her ears were very sharp. She was the first to react and appeared behind the door with a 'whoosh'. She first looked through the peephole to see who it was and found that she did not recognize them. She then immediately opened the door.
"Hello, three beautiful little sisters. I'm Butler Yue. May I ask who you're looking for?" As soon as she opened the door, Yue Shaojiao revealed a sweet and beautiful smile and asked in a sweet voice.
