Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 838: Young Master Letting Others Win

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Young Master Letting Others Win

During the New Year, the only one who was most familiar with playing Mahjong for entertainment was Zhou Yu.

Among them, Zhou Yu’s family background was the poorest. His father usually lived day to day, spending all his time soaked in a card room, completely ignoring his son.

Since middle school, Zhou Yu had been earning his own money for school and living expenses.

Fortunately, he was tall and excelled at basketball, winning lots of games and prize money.

"... Every New Year, relatives and friends come to visit our home just to play Mahjong. Sometimes, we play several nights in a row," Zhou Yu said. "None of you must have such experiences."

This was true.

In Gu Shiting’s family, his parents were busy all year round. During the New Year, they either went on holiday or spent time with their grandparents. Even when they were free, they had social engagements, tea parties, or golf sessions.

Qin Lin’s family was similar to Gu Shiting’s.

As for Sheng Tang, her parents were not too busy, but they strongly opposed gambling activities like Mahjong. Sheng Tang’s father couldn’t even recognize all the Mahjong tiles.

"We rarely do," Sheng Tang said, "But it’s fun."

Zhou Yu: "As long as there’s no gambling involved, it’s quite interesting. But I really dislike it when they gamble."

"Gambling is a bad habit, and it’s forbidden in our family too," Gu Shiting chimed in.

While playing, they started chatting about their respective families.

Although they gambled, it was only small amounts, and whoever won the most usually had to treat everyone.

Gu Shiting was exceptionally smart.

Although he wasn’t skilled at Mahjong, he quickly figured out the rules after a few rounds.

He was also good at mental arithmetic.

During the next few hands, he deliberately lost to let Sheng Tang win.

Zhou Yu was the first to notice something amiss and said to Gu Shiting, "Are you pampering Tangtang or harming her? Whoever wins the money has to treat everyone. Tangtang wins seventy or eighty bucks, yet she has to spend a thousand on treating us. Can you do the math, young master?"

He followed Qin Lin in addressing Gu Shiting as young master.

Gu Shiting: "..."

Sheng Tang laughed uncontrollably.

She hadn’t been this happy for a long time.

She tapped Zhou Yu: "You’re sharp-eyed! If you’re capable, why don’t you cheat too!"

Then, she said to Gu Shiting, "No worries, I’m willing to treat. I can afford it! Keep losing to me; I want to win!"

"Okay," said Gu Shiting.

Zhou Yu: "..."

Qin Lin: "Blatant cheating, do you still have any gambling spirit?"

"What gambling spirit?" Sheng Tang replied nonchalantly, "It’s all about trickery and cunning."

Everyone laughed.

Gu Shiting soon took control of the whole game.

Qin Lin, due to his impudent mouth, lost the most, several times falling victim to Gu Shiting’s wins.

Zhou Yu wanted revenge, but the tall athletic guy had limited mental prowess, having no chance for revenge, and could only be bullied alongside Qin Lin by Gu Shiting.

Sheng Tang was laughing nonstop on the side.

She hadn’t been so happy for years.

Even winning Best Supporting Actress at the Qinglan Awards hadn’t made her this pleased.

By five thirty in the afternoon, they calculated the scores, and Sheng Tang indeed won the most.

She knew a very nice club and called them to inquire. They were open on the second day of the New Year, so Sheng Tang invited them there for dinner.

Gu Shiting drove his unimpressive little car over.

Zhou Yu volunteered to be the driver, and Sheng Tang sat with Gu Shiting in the backseat.

"Brother Zhou, have you bought a house yet?" Sheng Tang asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu: "Not yet."

"Not enough for the down payment?"

"I’m too lazy to make a down payment; I plan to pay in full, but I still need a little more," Zhou Yu replied.

"How much for the full payment?" Sheng Tang asked.

"Nine million, not particularly large, around eighty square meters," Zhou Yu said.

Sheng Tang suddenly also wanted to buy her own house.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t use the money just yet. Even though Zheng Weiwei’s settlement had come through, Sheng Tang still had to wait until "Genius Girl" was released.

If the movie flopped, she would have to return Zheng Weiwei’s bonus to Gu Jiahui.
