Chapter 548: 548, Gambling on New Year’s Eve
Is Huo Zhexi planning to bring Bai Ruwei ho?
“Yeah, so funny, what kind of girl would be interested in him?”
Mada Huo couldn’t help but criticize, “This stinker, all he does is loaf around, he is entirely aimless. The only thing pleasant about him is his good looks, but can good looks fill your stomach?”
Su Wanwan imdiately responded, “No, they can’t!”
“Can good looks provide for your life?”
Su Wanwan continued, “No, absolutely not!”
“Exactly, that’s why I say, I need to get a good look at who this blind girl is! She must have a serious case of nearsightedness!”
Su Wanwan let out a stifled laugh, unable to hold back any longer.
What a blood relative! She sports pinpoint accuracy in her criticism!
**
A black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the X District mansion.
Mingzhu put down her phone and looked at her son,”Zhexi, are you still in contact with Bai Ruwei?”
“Mom, how many tis have I told you, we’ve broken up!”
“Really?” Mingzhu looked skeptical.
She had seen too many girls like Bai Ruwei.
The Ming Family was also a prestigious family in Nancheng, Mingzhu’s own father, Ming Xiaowei, was a womanizer. They only had two daughters because her mother wasn’t able to have any more children despite the desire for a son. Because of this, Ming Xiaowei was very dissatisfied with her mother.
The patriarch of the Ming Family had a bit of an old-fashioned mindset. Since the elder son had no heir, he gradually allocated his family business shares to his second son.
Over the years, Ming Xiaowei had contemplated divorce many tis, and there were many won who wanted to use various thods to beco the matriarch of the Ming Family. But in the end, all their plans were thwarted by the collective efforts of the mother and her two daughters.
Thus, there was even a rumor in the outside world that the most formidable won in Nancheng were all concentrated in the Ming Family, claiming it was too overwhelming and eerie!
Yet, Mingzhu was fully aware, had it not been for their collective efforts to deal with the mistresses, the Ming Family might no longer be a place for the mother and daughters.
As a woman, you can’t show any rcy or leniency.
Especially in matters of marriage, one act of leniency and the one who suffers in the end is most likely to be you.
No matter how well Bai Ruwei may hide it, Mingzhu believes her judgnt is still fairly accurate after these years.
Clearly, Bai Ruwei is unhappy with playing second fiddle and wants to use Huo Zhexi as a stepping stone.
Only her son is so naive that he does not realize he’s being used.
“We really did break up!” Huo Zhexi looked at his mother impatiently, “Mom, you promised to et with Xiaowei last ti. We waited for you in the restaurant for an hour, but you and Dad went to a friend’s house for tea. Xiaowei thinks you dislike her and won’t agree to let us be together. So she broke up with on the spot, and she hasn’t paid any attention to since.”
“Hehe.” Mingzhu smirked with her red lips, “She broke up with you just because I didn’t agree? Is she marrying you or ?”
Huo Zhexi’s handso face twisted with frustration, “Mom, when Xiaowei and I were together, you said she was vain. Now that we are not together, you still bla her? Isn’t it always your say?”
“You foolish son!” Mingzhu pointed her finger at Huo Zhexi’s forehead in annoyance, “Do you understand the aning of playing hard to get? This is a woman who knows how to manipulate, but she can only fool an idiot egg like you!”
Huo Zhexi squird in pain, “She hasn’t responded to my ssages since we broke up, and now I can’t even track her down! It’s all your fault! I will get angry if you go on!”
“You little rat, do you want to anger to death?” Mingzhu was infuriated, just about to pull his ear.
“Madam, we’ve arrived.” The driver reminded.
Mingzhu could only glare at her foolish son, “Since you’ve broken up, you’re not allowed to contact her anymore, do you hear ?”
Huo Zhexi grumbled, pulled the door open and left the car.
“You little rat, stop right there!” Mingzhu was so angry she could hardly cope, she had to order the driver to hurry out with the stuff.
**
Huo Zhexi stord into the living room, and upon seeing Su Wanwan sitting on the couch with a naughty smile, he couldn’t help but feel more irritated.
If this brat hadn’t leaked information and badmouthed Xiaowei behind her back last ti in the restaurant, Xiaowei wouldn’t have broken up with him.
However, today is New Year’s Eve, and his whole family was coming ho for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
And currently, there were two outsiders present and even Huo Jingshen was sitting aside. So, all Huo Zhexi could do was bitch in his mind and not dare do anything out of the ordinary on the surface.
He quickly looked away, found a seat to sit down, took out his phone, and started sending Bai Ruwei a WeChat ssage.
[Xiaowei, where are you now?]
“Xiaowei, where are you staying during the school holidays?”
“Today is New Year’s Eve, what are your plans?”
“Xiaowei, tell where you are? I want to see you.”
“Xiaowei, why aren’t you talking to ?”
“Xiaowei, I really miss you.”
…
The WeChat box was full of ssages he sent, filled with words and emoticons, genuine sentints.
But Bai Ruwei was as if she had made up her mind and didn’t reply to him.
Huo Zhexi didn’t understand.
He can reach her by phone, why doesn’t she pick up?
She saw the ssages he sent on WeChat, why doesn’t she reply?
He had already humiliated himself so much.
Huo Zhexi swore, this was the first ti he’d pursued a girl in such an unremitting manner.
It’s not that he hasn’t had a girlfriend before, but every ti it was just a casual fling and after sleeping together, he’d soon get bored and they would peacefully part ways.
He had no idea what’s wrong with him this ti?
Is it because Bai Ruwei was his first?
Maybe all n have that kind of complex?
Whenever he thought about the fact that he was her first man, the night he broke her defenses, Ruwei cried so miserably, trembling like a helpless kitten, holding him and sobbing, “Zhexi, I give myself to you completely.”
There was no exaggeration, his heart had completely lted at that mont.
Moreover, Bai Ruwei was very obedient and docile, never like other won who demanded things from him, whether it was handbags, or jewelry.
She didn’t want anything, and even after they got together she went to work in a store every day. Besides working in a club, she even helped out in the kitchen of a restaurant, not minding getting dirty or tired.
Huo Zhexi knew that her life was tough and her family’s situation was bad, so he wanted to treat her well. He didn’t expect his mother to oppose so strongly.
He didn’t understand, didn’t he even have the right to like a girl?
As Huo Zhexi was dwelling over this, Mingzhu, and the driver ca in.
It must be said that this daughter-in-law was still pretty considerate. Knowing that Mrs. Huo likes orchids, she bought several pots of top-quality orchids. She also brought so premium liquor and snacks such as fruits and nuts.
Mr. and Mrs. Huo were old and had a poor appetite. All these things were mostly for the younger generations.
It happened that this year, Huo Jingshen got married, brought Su Wanwan ho for the New Year, plus there were guests like Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang. Huo Nuanyang also ca ho early for the holidays, so the usually deserted Huo House suddenly had several young people and was bustling. These things were certainly welcod and appreciated.
Upon seeing the room full of younger generations, Mrs. Huo spontaneously suggested, “Since it is New Year’s Eve and we have a lot of people, why don’t we play Mahjong? We have an automatic mahjong table at ho.”
Play Mahjong?
Su Wanwan’s eyes lit up, “Yes, yes!”
She had nothing else to do and she didn’t enjoy watching TV anyway.
Her Mahjong skills were actually pretty good, maybe she could make so money through this. Plus, she would get a New Year’s bonus later; Wow, she was going to be rich!
When Mrs. Huo gave a shout, Mingzhu as her daughter-in-law naturally accompanied her imdiately, “Mom, I’ll play with you.”
“Now, we need one more person.”
Mingzhu looked around and invited with a smile, “Miss Fu, do you know how to play mahjong?”
Being suddenly called upon, Fu Qi waved her hand in a hurry, “I don’t know how to play.”
“It’s okay, once I teach you, you’ll know how to play. We’re playing for small stakes. It’s the New Year after all, we’re just hoping to have so fun.” Mingzhu was incredibly enthusiastic.
But Fu Qi still seed reluctant, “But, I’m a bit slow, I really don’t know how to play these kinds of gas.”
“Grandma, mom, I’ll play with you.” Huo Zhexi suddenly stood up.
As he spoke, his eyes were locked onto Su Wanwan, his mind calculating the odds.
You little brat, a grudge not reported is enough to sha a gentleman!
Wait and see if I don’t win you to death this ti!
I’ll make sure that you lose so much money that you’ll be crying!
