Chapter 151 Playing Mahjong Also Requires Intelligence
Gu Jintian pursed her lips.
"What's there to be proud of?"
After drawing all the cards for one side in the next round, Shen Wancheng finally spoke.
"I won, I drew it myself, and I got a pure suit."
In the next round, Shen Wancheng won again.
"You've set the tone, a complete success."
Shen Wancheng didn't say a word the whole time, she just silently accepted the money.
Mahjong is a game for four people, not just two. Over the next hour, the Cai sisters experienced both wins and losses.
Only Gu Jintian didn't win a single hand.
Actually, she had a pretty good run of luck and sometimes managed to win, but thinking about how she had given Shen Wancheng several amazing hands in a row, she didn't want to win small hands; she just wanted to win big and get her money back.
But every time she was about to win, someone else would win.
Especially when the Cai sisters just win a regular hand, ruining her chances of winning, she gets really angry.
Gu Jintian also came to hate Cai Xinyi and Cai Xinya.
Shen Wancheng was the biggest winner in that hour, and besides winning by herself, she also got caught by Gu Jintian's discards.
In half an hour, Gu Jintian lost nearly HKD 100,000, most of which went into Shen Wancheng's pocket.
Gu Jintian is still in university, and her monthly allowance is only HK$100,000.
Losing HK$100,000 to Shen Wancheng was not only painful for her, but also incredibly embarrassing for Gu Jintian, who felt she was being watched by so many elders of the Gu family.
Gu Jintian started with 5 pairs and quickly won with 6 pairs after just a few rounds.
Looking at the six pairs of cards neatly arranged, Gu Jintian felt refreshed.
However, the next moment, she heard Shen Wancheng say.
"Self-draw, Thirteen Orphans".
Gu Jintian's face darkened instantly.
"What incredible luck!"
While accepting the money from the Cai sisters, Shen Wancheng spoke to Gu Jintian about nothing other than winning the game.
"It's just a little money loss, why are you making such a fuss? Did you run out of money to lose?"
Gu Jintian took out the cash she had just gotten from her brother, counted out 5120, and slammed it on the table.
"You think I can't afford to lose with your sarcastic remarks? I'm not a poor wretch."
Shen Wancheng put the money into her drawer and said with a smile.
"I didn't mean that, I was just reminding people who are losing money to be more decisive."
A new round started, and Gu Jintian had a good starting hand, which quickly took shape.
But she had been losing a lot and was really frustrated. She just wanted to win one last time to vent her anger, so she started to hesitate about whether to expand and grow her business.
She hesitated whether to withdraw all her cards, then looked back at her brother Gu Jinhao and pointed to two cards.
It means asking her brother which card he should play.
Before Gu Jinhao could react, Shen Yao's voice came out.
"Who said that a true gentleman observes chess in silence?"
Gu Jintian glared at Shen Yao, then angrily picked a card and played it.
Shen Wancheng immediately flipped the card.
"I won."
Gu Jintian took a deep breath, a string of curses bubbling up inside her.
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingqian, who was standing behind Shen Wancheng, suddenly spoke.
"Wancheng, you're really good at playing cards."
Gu Mingqian didn't stay at the mahjong table the whole time; he left for a while and then came back with Xu Pingtao.
Xu Pingtao continued Gu Mingqian's words.
"Mainly because she's smart."
"Haha, Wan Cheng and Jin Tian playing this mahjong is just like playing in the mud with the kids."
Hearing her grandfather and Xu Pingtao say these words, Gu Jintian felt even more indignant.
Shen Wancheng had just said that this was her first time playing mahjong.
Moreover, Shen Wancheng clearly lost to her by a large margin at the beginning.
Gu Jintian didn't dare to contradict Gu Mingqian, and could only mutter under her breath.
"It was just good luck."
"Why is your voice suddenly so soft? Are you afraid I'll hear you? But I heard you."
Shen Yao said with a grin, "My sister played well and was lucky too, aren't you angry?"
Gu Jintian found that Shen Yao would always argue with her no matter what she said, so she simply ignored Shen Yao.
Shen Yao snorted, "Boring."
Shen Wancheng and the others played a few more rounds, but Gu Jintian kept losing, and even though she was giving away money every time, she still kept asking to continue.
But Shen Wancheng found it boring.
After Gu Jintian lost to Shen Wancheng in another top-tier game, Shen Wancheng said...
"The game is one-sided, it's boring, I don't want to play anymore."
Then she looked at Cai Xinya and asked, "Do you still want to fight?"
Cai Xinya and Cai Xinyi exchanged a glance, and Cai Xinyi gently shook her head.
Cai Xinya began, "Then no..."
Before Cai Xinya could finish speaking, Gu Jintian interrupted her.
"Why did you stop playing? Have you never seen so much money before? Are you trying to leave now that you've won?"
As soon as Gu Jintian said those words, Gu Mingqian's expression immediately darkened.
Gu Jintian noticed the cold gaze that Gu Mingqian was casting on her.
He secretly scolded himself for being impulsive.
She said softly, sounding aggrieved.
"That's how you play cards; the winner never calls for a stop first."
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow and said.
"I didn't know there were such rules when playing mahjong. Sorry, this is my first time playing mahjong, I didn't know these rules."
Because Gu Jintian's previous words disrespected Shen Wancheng and also embarrassed the Gu family.
Gu Qinglan knew that Gu Mingqian's change in expression meant he was very angry.
So, in an attempt to salvage the situation, she praised Shen Wancheng.
"You managed to outmaneuver all three of them on your very first game of mahjong. Wan Cheng, it's a waste of your brain to use it like this."
This statement directly compares and contrasts Shen Wancheng with the three children of the Gu family.
Gu Qinglan was thinking that even though she felt sorry for her own child, she would still bring her sister's two children along to get her sister's family to join her on the same side.
But Gu Jintian didn't understand the deeper meaning behind her mother's words.
He retorted directly, "It's just that I was unlucky and lost money. How can you say that I, Xinyi, and Xinya were all arranged so clearly?"
"Mom, do you still consider me your daughter? You're indirectly calling me stupid."
Gu Qinglan felt a tightness in her chest from Gu Jintian's words.
Shen Yao saw Gu Qinglan's face darken instantly and chuckled softly.
"You're so stupid! How many brainless things have you said today?"
"Shen Yao, you..."
Gu Jintian had barely finished speaking when her brother, Gu Jinhao, interrupted her.
"Stop playing. You've been playing for over an hour and you still haven't figured out the other players' skill level."
Gu Jintian was really getting anxious.
"Brother, even you aren't on my side."
Gu Jinhao chuckled.
"Didn't you notice that you're the only one losing money? Everyone else has figured out your hand every time. They've already decided who will win and who will lose before the game is even half over. And you blame me for calling you stupid? I'm just telling you the truth."
Gu Jinhao's words showed no mercy to Gu Jintian.
After Gu Jinhao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Gu Mingqian.
Thinking to himself, he and his mother had already embarrassed Gu Jintian in front of everyone, defining Gu Jintian's words as her own willful remarks. This should prevent Grandpa from being angry with their family.
Gu Jinhao was genuinely furious with Gu Jintian.
As I grew to 20, my ability to spend money increased day by day, but my mind didn't grow at all, and I never thought about what the family's situation was like.
Gu Jintian didn't hear a word Gu Jinhao said, thinking he was overthinking things.
Will Shen Wancheng, who is playing cards for the first time today, be able to count other people's cards?
She played mahjong with her classmates in high school, but she still can't count the cards.
How could Shen Wancheng possibly do that?
However, Gu Jintian's cautious nature made her realize that she couldn't argue with anyone at this point.
After all, there were so many members of the Gu family present, and not a single one of them spoke up for her.
This made Gu Jintian a little wary.
Gu Jinhao's words also served as a reminder to the Cai sisters, who, like Gu Jintian, were still confused about what had happened.
Cai Xinya spoke up on her own initiative.
"It turns out that Sister Wancheng is so smart. She was able to count cards on her first game. I must say thank you, Sister Wancheng, for going easy on us."
Cai Xinyi also said.
"Yes, my sister and I only know the rules; we never use our brains when playing cards."
Shen Wancheng said modestly.
"Everyone's just having fun, having a good time is the most important thing."
Cai Xinyi and Cai Xinya laughed at the same time.
Everyone except Gu Jintian seemed to be having a good time playing mahjong.
