Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: A Base Person Is Always Overly Sentimental

Luo Liansheng liked playing mahjong and even had mahjong sets in the small mountain village in the Northwest. However, he was reluctant to socialize much with the villagers, let alone invite them over for mahjong, so when bored, he would play a few rounds with just Luo Ziling.

As a result, Luo Ziling learned how to play Jiangzhe-style mahjong, just without ever playing it seriously with others.

Wuyue, Luo Yuqing, and Ouyang Huihui didn’t know how to play, but they were still interested when they heard Ziling mentioning playing mahjong.

The three women, each with an indescribably complex relationship with Ziling, would definitely have overt and covert competitions for his special attention when staying together. So when Ziling suggested playing, none of them objected, since he said he would teach them.

Among the furniture prepared by Luo Liansheng was an automatic mahjong machine.

A group of people who had never played mahjong gathered together at Ziling’s beckoning.

Since only Ziling was familiar with the rules of mahjong, he was the one who set them.

“Ziling, what do we win?” Luo Yuqing asked seriously as they were about to start playing: “Are we playing for money? Or some other kind of bet?”

“Whatever you like. If you want to play for money, that’s fine too. You can win back the red envelopes you just received, and have grand meals every day when school starts.” Ziling merely wanted to kill some time; he didn’t care about winning anything in particular.

Thus, everyone agreed unanimously to play for money.

Before they started playing, the women did not know the rules of Jiangzhe-style mahjong and had never touched mahjong tiles before. They had no idea how to play. Even though Ziling had explained the rules, they still played haphazardly when the game began.

As a result, Ziling won three consecutive rounds at the beginning.

Sitting to his right, Luo Yuqing immediately got a bit angry and lashed out at Ouyang Huihui: “Huihui, are you intentionally feeding tiles to Ziling? Whatever he needs, you give him. It’s enough that you do it normally; do you have to do it in mahjong as well?”

“I didn’t,” Ouyang Huihui, who hadn’t fully gotten into the groove, retorted immediately, “I just played the tiles I didn’t need.”

“I think you are doing it on purpose,” Luo Yuqing said with a huff: “Otherwise, why doesn’t he take tiles from us, but only takes yours?”

“You can’t ‘eat’ tiles from the following player, you can only ‘eat’ from the preceding player!” Ouyang Huihui continued to be forbearing, not confronting Luo Yuqing directly.

“All right, all right, just play for fun, or I might as well win all the red envelopes in your pockets.” Ziling chuckled, interrupting the dispute, and swiftly took a tile from the ones Ouyang Huihui played, “I need this two of bamboo, I’ve won.”

Seeing that Ouyang Huihui “discarded” again, Luo Yuqing, who already harbored prejudices against her, became even more dissatisfied.

After four rounds, the seating was rearranged, with Luo Yuqing sitting to Ziling’s left, and Ouyang Huihui to his right.

Strangely, Luo Yuqing’s played tiles could never be claimed by Ziling, whereas the cards played by Ouyang Huihui sitting in the next seat were often bumped by Ziling. Luo Yuqing became even more convinced that Ouyang Huihui was deliberately showing favor to Ziling, playing whichever tiles he needed.

As a result, Luo Yuqing vented her dissatisfaction again.

She wasn’t concerned with winning or losing, she just couldn’t stand to see Ouyang Huihui getting along well with Ziling.

As a rival in love or whatever other relationship, she would not allow Ouyang Huihui to run wild in front of her.

Although Wuyue had never been involved in romantic affairs, she had been with Ling Ruonan for many years and had seen a lot.

She observed all of Luo Yuqing’s behaviors at times like this, completely understanding why the two women were arguing.

Of course, these matters were unrelated to her. If the two were fighting, she felt a sense of gaining from their disputes.

Aloof by nature, he didn’t reveal much, simply watching quietly.

Ouyang Huihui was already feeling quite aggrieved today, and with Luo Yuqing cornering her like this, she couldn’t hide her irritation anymore.

“Luo Yuqing, why do you have to target me like this?” Ouyang Huihui, regardless of Luo Ziling sitting aside, said angrily to Luo Yuqing: “It’s my first time playing mahjong. I’m not good at it and was just messing around. Why do you care so much?”

“Actually, you shouldn’t have come today,” Luo Yuqing said with an elder’s poise, meaningfully: “Have you considered how everyone will look at you for showing up so rashly? Tomorrow when your sister arrives, how will you two sisters get along? After all, your sister and Ziling were once betrothed. Who do you think you are?”

“And what about you?” Ouyang Huihui lashed out in anger.

“What’s the point?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but interrupt the quarrel between the two women, “It’s the New Year, let’s all be happy.”

“Exactly,” seeing Luo Ziling taking her side, Ouyang Huihui couldn’t help feeling smug and retorted: “Do you think you should be here? Have you not noticed the weird looks Mrs. Ling gives you? Like someone with no manners.”

Luo Yuqing was taken aback by Ouyang Huihui’s words and became instantly annoyed and embarrassed.

“Alright, stop arguing,” Wuyue finally spoke up, “if they hear us, it will be a laughing stock.”

Although Wuyue was only Ling Ruonan’s assistant, her words carried some weight, so Luo Yuqing and Ouyang Huihui dared not say more.

In fact, Luo Ziling was quite curious to see how the two women would argue, he even hoped they might physically fight.

Two beautiful women fighting in front of him, it would certainly be amusing to watch.

And frankly, Ziling often really does have a wicked sense of humor.

“Hmph, if I were Ziling’s sister, I would never allow him to be with you,” Luo Yuqing finally couldn’t help but snort in disdain.

“Mind your own business, I don’t need you to meddle in mine!” Ouyang Huihui also huffed in response.

“Let’s stop playing,” Wuyue, feeling deflated, looked at Luo Ziling and suggested, “Let’s take a break. We have things to do tomorrow!”

“Alright,” seeing Wuyue suggest this, Luo Ziling raised no objections. “Why not, let’s rest in the guest room, maybe get some sleep.”

Two guest rooms and two bedding sets had been prepared. Originally, Luo Ziling would sleep in one, and Luo Yuqing and Wuyue would share another.

But now with Ouyang Huihui here, the room arrangements became difficult.

“Wuyue, you and Ouyang Huihui squeeze in together. Ziling and I have some things to discuss, we’ll just squeeze into any room, after all, we’re siblings,” Luo Yuqing immediately made her suggestion.

“I have things to discuss with Luo Ziling,” Ouyang Huihui also put forth her request, “I won’t sleep tonight. I’ll just talk to Luo Ziling, and later I can just take a nap sitting up. You two sleep in one room!”

At this moment, Ouyang Huihui and Luo Yuqing both had the same scornful thought about each other: A jealous woman can be so melodramatic.

Wuyue was quite surprised to see the two women so confrontational, feeling rather uncomfortable inside.

“Stop arguing. You know each other well, just share a room. I will sleep in the car after talking to Wuyue for a bit.” Saying this, he grabbed Wuyue’s hand, “Wuyue, let’s go!”

Seeing Luo Ziling make such a choice, both Luo Yuqing and Ouyang Huihui were left astounded.
