Chapter 69: Follow Suit

Henyee Translations Henyee Translations

“Now give me money.” Sheng Yang stretched out her fair delicate hand, the same way these old women did just earlier.

She learned everything about mahjong just today, including this gesture. When she did it, unlike her usually cool and aloof self, she looked a little cute.

These old women stared at the mahjong tiles dumbfounded. “Pure one suit” was hard to achieve. In this set, they lost a lot of money.

They actually lost to a little girl! But it was an undeniable truth.

Reluctantly forking over the money, they were determined to earn their money back and winked at each other. Already seeing through their tricks, Sheng Yang looked very calm.

However, it turned out that this set was only a start, and what followed was the real storm.

“Big three dragons!”

“All triplets…”

Sheng Yang was here to win money, so she tried her best and showed no mercy.

Over time, these old women who had thought they could cheat Sheng Yang out of a lot of money almost cried. Instead of earning a lot of money as they expected, they had almost lost all their money.

Grandmother Sheng was dumbstruck too, not knowing what to say.

Was it because the old women in the country were all good at playing mahjong? So Sheng Yang picked things up from them?

“I quit.” A mahjong partner couldn’t stand it anymore, pounded the table with her palm, and lunged to her feet, yelling, “Hey, we’re your grandmother’s friends! Where are your manners?!”

The other women also scolded Sheng Yang. They were very distressed to have lost so much money.

However, at this time, Grandmother Sheng stood up and looked at them with dissatisfaction. “I told her to do this! Only you can win, but she can’t? You lost money on her because she plays mahjong better than you, OK?”

These old women didn’t dare to rebuke Grandmother Sheng. After all, they still wanted to swindle money out of Grandmother Sheng and they couldn’t afford to offend the Sheng Family either. “Madam Sheng, we didn’t mean that.”

“Then what do you mean?” Mrs. Sheng scowled and shouted, “How much money have you earned from me? So you think you’re only allowed to earn money and not lose any money?”

At this time, Grandmother Sheng finally realized her “friends” weren’t that reliable.

“Excuse me, Mrs. Sheng, I have something to attend to today, so I’m leaving first.”

“Yeah, me too. I’ve got an emergency at home.”

These women didn’t dare to mess with Mrs. Sheng. Seeing that Grandmother Sheng was upset, they all found an excuse to leave one after another.

After they left, the living room became quiet again. Grandmother Sheng turned her head and looked up and down Sheng Yang for quite a while before she said coldly, “Hmph, it’s all because of you. No one will play mahjong with me anymore.”

Sheng Yang was busy putting the checks away, thinking that this old lady was really weird. How could she blame her for this?

Although Grandmother Sheng blamed Sheng Yang, she was actually quite happy someone could “avenge” her and thought this girl wasn’t as obnoxious as Jiang Xinyi described. However, seeing as Sheng Yang was ignoring her, she was instantly pissed again and was going to throw a tantrum like a volcano about to erupt.

“Grandma.” At this moment, a gentle voice rang in the cold and silent living room, inviting in some warmth.
