Chapter 68: Wishful Thinking

But soon their worries disappeared because Sheng Yang’s movements while playing mahjong revealed she was definitely a novice, and this was probably her first time playing.

Sheng Yang had just learned how to play mahjong by watching them play it earlier, so she was rather rusty at it.

Seeing this scene, these old women smiled secretly. They didn’t dare to be too tough with Grandmother Sheng, but Grandmother Sheng obviously disliked this girl, so they could cheat her of her money to their hearts’ content.

They could earn as much as they wanted from her!

Grandmother Sheng had her servant place a chair behind Sheng Yang then she sat on it. She didn’t worry about Sheng Yang at all. The more Sheng Yang lost, the better. Then she would have a good reason to scold Kang Weizhen and make her surrender something she wanted.

Old Sheng was quite glad that Sheng Tai persuaded Ming Qi to cooperate with them and said he would give one percent of shares to Sheng Tai after they succeeded.

Although Sheng Tai’s wife hadn’t protested, Grandmother Sheng thought it was too little.

Kang Weizhen held almost 20 percent of the shares in her hands. She was just an outsider. Why did her beloved little son have so few shares?

If this girl lost a lot of money, she could use this as an excuse to snatch some shares from her mother and give them to her little son. Anyway, she should repay her daughter’s debt, shouldn’t she?

Kang Weizhen viewed this girl to be as precious as her own eyeballs, so Grandmother Sheng could take advantage of this weakness.

With this in mind, Grandmother Sheng cracked a smug smile.

It was the first round, and Sheng Yang didn’t lay out her mahjong tiles that quickly. Grandmother Sheng glanced at the mahjong tiles in Sheng Yang’s hands.

Oh my god, with these mahjong tiles, she simply had no chance of winning!

So Grandmother Sheng didn’t bother to watch anymore. She closed her eyes to take a nap, waiting for the final result.

She was too old to maintain her energy after playing mahjong for so long.

Until…

“Hey, how can you play this way?” She heard an indignant voice that belonged to one of her mahjong partners. Grandmother Sheng opened her eyes slowly, glanced at the tile that Sheng Yang threw out, then glanced at her mahjong partner’s tiles. No wonder the latter was angry. Sheng Yang had just destroyed her chance to win.

But Grandmother Sheng was astonished. Could mahjong be played this way?

“She didn’t cheat,” Grandmother Sheng said.

The other woman couldn’t help complaining, “But we don’t usually play this way. Her way of playing mahjong is so strange.”

Grandmother Sheng didn’t say anything. Yes, her way of playing mahjong was really strange. She seemed to be able to guess the mahjong tiles the other three players had and easily destroyed their chances of winning when they were already close at hand.

Thinking this, Grandmother Sheng couldn’t help but look at Sheng Yang’s gorgeous yet expressionless face.

Was this girl just lucky or really good at playing mahjong? But from the way she laid out the mahjong tiles, she was obviously a novice.

But so what? Grandmother Sheng yawned. Anyway, the mahjong tiles Sheng Yang had drawn were too bad and she would have no chance to win.

Thinking this, Grandmother Sheng glanced at the mahjong tiles in Sheng Yang’s hands casually then her eyes suddenly widened. She rubbed them before she looked at the tiles again, and in the end, she picked up her reading glasses on the table.

The mahjong tiles were arranged in a strange way which she had never seen before.

At this time, Sheng Yang pushed the tiles down proficiently. “Pure one suit.”

“…”
