The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1647 - 1646: Mahjong

Although it wasn't broad daylight, Bei Lin didn't believe in ghosts, and when she lifted the blanket, she quickly confirmed this."Tang Rao, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be at Sister Hongxiu's today?"

Zhang Kexin realized she'd asked too much after the question. How could she know exactly where someone was supposed to be? Had she been prying too early?

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I thought Tang Rao was supposed to be somewhere else today, so I came to Sister Bei Lin's place. Please don't misunderstand me."

"I didn't misunderstand, but with all your explanations, now I'm starting to think I might have misunderstood."

Isn't there a saying, "You reap what you sow"?

Zhang Kexin wore a mournful face, wanting to pass the blame to Bei Lin. Luckily, Bei Lin was kind-hearted and helped to shoulder the blame.

"Maybe you should say less. Don't forget, this is my place. Aren't you afraid I'll make trouble for you since you came without permission?"

Brushing aside the previous topic, Bei Lin started to look for a way to make Tang Rao uncomfortable. Was he trying to take revenge for being upset during the day?

How did Bei Lin end up with such a petty man like Tang Rao?

"Your territory is my territory too. Between husband and wife, you haven't fulfilled your duties as a wife, so it's reasonable for me to come here. But without my consent, you brought my woman here, so I'm here to settle that."

To Zhang Kexin, Tang Rao was always the reasonable type, who wouldn't hesitate to resort to force if reason failed. But today, Tang Rao seemed odd, spouting all sorts of logical reasoning, wanting to shamelessly stay?

"Tang Rao, I came here with Sister Bei Lin on my own. You can't blame her. If you want, I'll leave now and won't bother you, just don't take it all out on Sister Bei Lin."

Zhang Kexin felt very guilty. She could easily leave, but she feared that after she left, Bei Lin might suffer, and she wouldn't be there to help her.

"No need. Since you're already here, why not stay and play some interesting games with us? How about it?"

Seeing Tang Rao's expression, both women felt uneasy. Play some interesting games? What kind of games?

"If you dare speak of anything in bad taste, I guarantee you'll regret sneaking into my room!"

Two women and one man, what kind of game would it be?

Bei Lin and Zhang Kexin hoped that what Tang Rao wanted to play was different from what they imagined.

"It would be even better if we had one more person. With one more, the game would be even more fun."

One more person?

What was Tang Rao thinking? Playing a game and even specifying the number of participants?

Besides, who in the dead of night would come to play games with Tang Rao instead of sleeping?

"I've always lived alone in my yard. If you really want to find someone to play with, why not try the other sisters' rooms? I'm sure one of them has the energy to play with you, as for me and Kexin, we're exhausted and don't want to stay up any longer."

Bei Lin's words had little impact on Tang Rao. Before she finished speaking, a square table and four stools appeared before her.

On the table were small rectangular objects of equal size, each with similar patterns on one side and incomprehensible symbols on the other for Bei Lin and her company.

"What is this? Is this the game you mentioned earlier?"

The patterns on the rectangles were quite peculiar, some neatly arranged, others quite strange. Zhang Kexin was very curious as she picked up a couple to study them, asking with fascination.

"Weren't you bored? Then hubby will teach you how to play Mahjong!"

Mahjong?

Bei Lin and Zhang Kexin exchanged glances, and from their puzzled expressions, it was clear they didn't know what Mahjong was.

"By the way, Jinxiu and Lei Li know how to play Mahjong. I'll have them teach you. Once you learn how to play, I'll open a Mahjong parlor for you to pass the time!"

Just the thing to do!

He had built many houses on Kao Shan Road. Some were already in use, while others were still being planned. If he opened a Mahjong parlor, there was a house that would be perfect.

Fang Jinxiu and Lei Li were called over, along with Bai Xiaotong.

Bai Xiaotong stared at Tang Rao like a resentful wife, giving him goosebumps, making him question in his mind whether he had done something wrong, and why his aunt was looking at him that way.

"Aunt, um, Li Li, Jinxiu, you're all here?"

Luckily, Bei Lin's room was spacious, and even with so many people, they could all fit in.

After greeting the three women who came, Tang Rao awkwardly arranged seats for them.

Originally intending to show off his many talents to these inexperienced women, Tang Rao didn't expect that just when he thought of a way to showcase himself, the women occupied his spot immediately and invited the sisters to sit down.

"You're not just playing Mahjong, right? What Tang Rao can teach you, I can also teach. Come, come, sit down! Now we're not short of one player, we can play a few rounds."

Bai Xiaotong was never particularly interested in Mahjong either, occasionally playing a couple of rounds when with close friends. To strangers, it might not be clear whether she knew how to play Mahjong, and even Tang Rao only now realized that Bai Xiaotong had this skill.

Fang Jinxiu and Bai Xiaotong each taught one person hand in hand. After playing a few rounds, they gradually became familiar with the rules. Later, Zhang Kexin, who had a poor memory, frequently messed up her tiles, while Bei Lin, with her quick thinking and good luck, scored self-draws, pure colors, and "flowers on tiles" several times, making Bai Xiaotong almost lose interest.

"Lin Lin, be honest, are you cheating? Why do you keep getting good hands while I can't even draw a decent one?"

Bai Xiaotong, being the outspoken aunt, didn't hold back her dissatisfaction. Even Bai herself couldn't figure out why she was getting so riled up over a game of Mahjong.

"Oh dear, it seems my aunt can't handle losing. You already suspect someone else after just a few rounds of Mahjong?"

When Tang Rao pointed it out, Bai Xiaotong's face turned red in an instant.

"What suspicion? I'm not suspicious. What are you talking about? Come on, come on, let's continue. I don't believe that I, Bai Xiaotong, a veteran Mahjong player, can't handle you all!"
