Chapter 135: Xi Shaoqi, It’s Over
Xi Shaoqi and Lin Mubai were sitting face-to-face, with Zuo Qingfeng and Lan Luo sitting on either side.
As the only boy in the Lan Family and Lin Mubai’s cousin, Lan Luo’s personality was always exceptionally lively. Wherever he was, there was never a worry about the atmosphere going cold.
Sure enough, his humorous nature came into play once again: "Ladies and gentlemen, on such a beautiful evening, how could we not make the most of it? Let’s get happy, shall we?"
Xi Shaoqi and Zuo Qingfeng exchanged a glance while touching their mahjong tiles and smiled helplessly at each other. Only Lin Mubai frowned more and more tightly. Lan Luo, ready to continue raising his voice, caught this glimpse out of the corner of his eye, quickly straightened up and said, "Yes, yes, mahjong, let’s play mahjong. It’s my turn. Three bamboos."
The mahjong game had just made it through three rounds when suddenly the box’s door was pushed open from the outside. Seeing who it was, Xi Shaoqi immediately stood up to welcome them, his face full of surprise: "Xi Yu, weren’t you supposed to be attending a film festival abroad? When did you come back?" While speaking to his sister, Xi Shaoqi didn’t forget to greet the woman next to her: "Yuwen, you’re here too."
Xi Shaoqi wasn’t too fond of Gao Yuwen, but since she was his sister’s friend, it wouldn’t be right not to give her face.
Gao Yuwen clearly noticed the difference in treatment, but she was, after all, a professional actress, maintaining a perfectly graceful smile without showing any displeasure.
"Brother Shaoqi, long time no see. I missed your birthday as I was abroad, I’m sorry. This is a birthday gift for you, I hope Brother Shaoqi won’t mind," said Gao Yuwen, handing over a delicate gift box that was plainly of considerable worth.
