Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 149 The Conflict of the Engagement Day

Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing both noticed He Lin and Xu Pingtao leaving the main building.

Gu Jinxing asked Shen Wancheng if she wanted to go take a look.

Shen Wancheng thought about it and decided not to disturb He Lin and Xu Pingtao.

Judging from He Lin's attitude at the dinner table, she seems to have acknowledged Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.

But Shen Wancheng didn't want to bring this up.

Because once things are laid bare, the original owner's mother and grandmother will inevitably be mentioned.

Shen Wancheng was able to benefit from Xu Pingtao by using the original owner's identity, and she was even willing to get close to Xu Pingtao because he treated her and Shen Yao well.

But Shen Wancheng felt that when it came to the past, she had no right to forgive Xu Pingtao on behalf of the original owner's mother and grandmother.

Therefore, it's best not to talk about the past.

Seeing that Shen Wancheng didn't want to talk about Xu Pingtao and He Lin, Gu Jinxing changed the subject.

"Shen Yao is calling you."

"Ok?"

Shen Wancheng turned around to look.

Sure enough, Shen Yao was waving at her.

"sister."

Shen Wancheng said to Gu Jinxing.

"Go talk to your dad and the others, I'll go check on them."

Today is the first time Shen Wancheng has faced the Gu family's close relatives, so she can't just stay alone with Gu Jinxing and talk to him all the time.

Gu Jinxing's grandfather, Gu Mingqian, had one son and two daughters. One daughter got married, and the other was adopted by a man.

If a man takes a son-in-law as his wife, the child born will be included in the Gu family genealogy and will bear the surname Gu, thus making him a cousin of Gu Jinxing.

Gu Jinxing thus has two female cousins, one female cousin, and one male cousin.

Perhaps they thought that the presence of the Gu family would create a lively atmosphere and show their importance, so all of them came today.

In just a short while, Shen Yao became acquainted with one of Gu Jinxing's cousins. The two stood together, and Shen Yao called Shen Wancheng over.

Shen Wancheng approached and first gave her cousin a polite smile.

He then asked Shen Yao, "What do you want?"

"They want to play mahjong, but I don't know how. I'd like you to join the table."

Once again, Shen Yao didn't consider whether Shen Wancheng could do it or not; she assumed in her heart that Shen Wancheng was omnipotent.

Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "You can't play mahjong, but you've learned the slang."

The girl next to Shen Yao said to Shen Wancheng.

"Sister Wancheng, we're one short for our three-man game, are you coming?"

Because today is the engagement day, Gu Jinxing's sisters haven't changed their address to him yet.

Shen Wancheng smiled and agreed, "I can come."

The servants had already moved the square table to the garden.

Shen Wancheng only realized belatedly when she saw the ordinary wooden square table that there were no machine mahjong tables in this era.

Mahjong is still played entirely by hand.

Shen Wancheng immediately regretted saying she would hit him.

After playing mahjong with machines for too long, I really dislike the idea of ​​manually shuffling tiles.

But she had already agreed, so she couldn't go back on her word.

The other three are Gu Jinxing's cousins.

The woman who was just with Shen Yao is Gu Jinxing's younger cousin, Cai Xinyi. She is eighteen years old this year, the same age as Shen Wancheng.

Cai Xinyi's older sister is Cai Xinya.

In addition, Gu Jinxing's cousin is named Gu Jintian.

All three were around 20 years old and probably still in school, but when they sat down at the table, they all said they wanted to give money, and the amount was quite large, starting at HK$100.

In mahjong, there are various ways to double your winnings in almost every round. It sounds like it starts at HK$100, but in reality, you pay several hundred dollars per round. If you win an exceptional hand, you might win four or five thousand dollars in one game.

For example, the highest score of Thirteen Orphans in the Pinghu game is HK$5120 if you win by drawing the winning tile yourself.

This is equivalent to two or three months' salary for an average Hong Kong Island resident.

For example, Shen Yao's current salary at the horse farm is only HK$2000 a month.

Shen Wancheng used to play Sichuan Mahjong, which is very different from Guangdong Mahjong. She only had a general understanding of the rules of Guangdong Mahjong.

So for the first half hour, Shen Wancheng was familiarizing herself with the rules and played very conservatively, going for a winning hand whenever she could, even with the smallest hand.

It looks like there are wins and losses, but the drawer where the money is actually kept is missing one or two thousand.

Gu Jintian, who was sitting opposite Shen Wancheng, had a very good luck and made a lot of big-name items.

In the last hand, Gu Jintian won by drawing Thirteen Orphans.

Each of the three families received HK$5120.

"Wow, I've lost two and a half months' worth of salary."

Shen Yao casually sighed.

This statement immediately caught the attention of the other three people at the table.

Cai Xinyi, who had just gotten close to Shen Yao, was only slightly surprised.

Curious, she asked, "Shen Yao, are you at work? Aren't you in school anymore?"

Shen Yao nodded, "Yes, I don't like reading."

Cai Xinya said, "It's good to get a degree from university."

Shen Yao still said, "I don't like it."

Gu Jintian asked, "You only make two or three thousand a month at work?"

Shen Yao didn't think it was anything shameful and said frankly, "Yes, two thousand a month."

"puff."

Gu Jintian chuckled, "You're really cheap."

Gu Jintian's laughter was too mocking, so Cai Xinya turned her head and gave Gu Jintian a meaningful look, trying to get her to tone it down.

Gu Jintian pretended not to see it.

She asked as she touched the cards.

"Wancheng, what about you? You're not at work too, are you?"

Shen Wancheng first called Gu Jintian's card before calmly replying to her.

"I'm not at work."

"Oh~" Gu Jintian said with an expression of understanding.

"That's right, Wan Cheng will soon be our cousin's wife, so our Gu family's daughter-in-law won't be short of money."

As soon as Gu Jintian said this, Cai Xinyi and her sister, as well as Shen Yao, all stopped smiling.

Shen Yao and Shen Wancheng are both granddaughters whom Xu Pingtao recently recognized. The only difference is that Shen Wancheng is about to marry Gu Jinxing.

Gu Jintian's words seemed tactful, but everyone understood what she meant.

That means Shen Wancheng only knows how to use the Gu family's money.

"you...."

Shen Yao wanted to scold Gu Jintian, but just as she opened her mouth, Shen Wancheng gently kicked her shin, and Shen Yao swallowed back what she was about to say.

Shen Wancheng remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to Gu Jintian's sarcastic remarks, her attention entirely focused on the card game.

Shen Wancheng tapped the desktop.

"You're married now."

Gu Jintian's face darkened instantly.

"how is this possible?"

Although Shen Yao doesn't know how to play mahjong, she knows from TV dramas that "xiang gong" means either having too many or too few tiles.

Shen Yao counted the bills one by one with exaggerated movements.

"One, two, three, four..."

"There really is one missing, Gu Jintian. You even miscounted, you idiot."

"Shen Yao, who are you calling an idiot?"

"Whoever is my husband, I'll scold them."

Gu Jintian slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Shen Yao, speaking aggressively.

"Shen Yao, believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Shen Wancheng pulled Shen Yao behind her and looked at Gu Jintian with a stern face.

“Gu Jintian, this is the He family home, not a place where you can run wild.”

Gu Jintian chuckled coldly.

"So what if it's the He family? Everyone knows how this marriage alliance came about. It's all because..."

"Gu Jintian, what are you doing?!"

Gu Jintian was stopped by Wen Nan before she could finish speaking.

Wen Nan was originally talking to Gu Hengzhi's two younger sisters, namely the mother of Gu Jintian and Cai Xinyi and Cai Xinya.

Seeing Gu Jintian suddenly stand up and point at Shen Wancheng in a condescending manner, she walked over in a few steps.

Wen Nan is now the one who knows the relationship between her son and Shen Wancheng better than anyone else. Their marriage was entirely due to her son's request.

If Gu Jintian is rude to Shen Wancheng and her sister at the He family today, it could cause complications in Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's marriage.

Gu Jinxing was about to devour Gu Jintian alive.
