Qi You is not good at cards, you have to let me play
Mrs. Pei was persuaded to go downstairs by her mother, but the anger in her chest never subsided.
When Mrs. Pei was chatting with the ladies of the Yu family to promote their relationship, she heard someone next to her whisper: "Huh? Isn't that a relative of our family? I haven't seen him before. He must be some guy's girlfriend."
." As soon as she looked up, Mrs. Pei saw Bai Xiao coming downstairs.
"I just saw her coming with Yu San. She is really pretty and has a good temperament. I wonder which family she is from?"
Mrs. Pei immediately sneered, which lady... is just a child bride who is living under someone else's roof, or the child bride they prayed for!
At that moment, he said angrily: "That's not necessarily the case. Which of the women in today's society who has some means doesn't climb to the top?"
His words made several noble ladies next to them look surprised. Mrs. Pei proudly curled up her lips and gathered her shawl: "I'm older than you, and I've seen quite a lot of things. I've seen a lot of people who are indolent and indolent."
The little girl tries so hard to please those successful men just to save herself decades of struggle..."
——————————
Bai Xiao, who was standing on the jogging platform, had no idea that Mrs. Pei was sparing no effort to discredit herself.
Yu Shaoting was standing in the crowd talking to several men over forty years old. Most of the time, he acted as a listener and occasionally interjected a word. Bai Xiao found him almost at a glance. He had a crisp suit and angular and cold facial features.
His every move exudes a mature and proud demeanor.
As if he had a tacit understanding, Yu Shaoting also looked towards the stairs.
He said something to some of the cousins around him, and then walked towards her. Perhaps because he was too tall, he attracted a lot of attention at once.
Bai Xiao stood still on the steps, watching him stop two steps away from her. Yu Shaoting put one hand in his trouser pocket and stretched out the other in front of her. She looked down at him, his clear black eyes were straight.
Looking straight at her: "Come down."
Every girl has a Mary Sue dream in her heart, and Bai Xiao is no exception. When Yu Shaoting reached out to her, she felt like a favored princess.
Such a successful and powerful man, standing under her, staring at her like that, without too many sweet words, but the deep and indulgent eyes are enough to show how much he values you. Bai Xiao has to admit that at this moment, he
His vanity was greatly satisfied.
When Bai Xiao put his hand into Yu Shaoting's hand and held it, Pei Qiyou was entering the room. The visual effect at that moment was very dazzling.
Yu Shaoting led Bai Xiao downstairs, put her hand on the crook of his elbow, and rubbed the back of her hand affectionately for a while, ambiguously and openly.
——————————
Mrs. Pei looked at Yu Shaoting's attitude towards Bai Xiao, and the words she just said were like a slap in the face.
The lady next to her who was originally talking about her laughed out loud: "I think it's Yu Sanzhui's family. Who has he been so attentive to before?"
"The thousand-year-old iron tree has blossomed, and the ten-thousand-year-old dead tree has sprouted. Second Auntie will no longer have to wipe her tears, haha..."
There was a lot of laughter, but no one paid any attention to Mrs. Pei anymore.
——————————
The banquet was held at Yu's house and at Political Commissar Liu's house next door.
This engagement banquet was simpler than Bai Xiao thought. As soon as relatives and friends arrived, they began to take their seats, and the helpers began to serve the dishes.
As for the new couple——
Bai Xiao found that the people who came downstairs were not as attracted as Yu Zhanming. They were probably people who had seen big events and didn't care much about this kind of engagement banquet.
Su Manrong always wanted to come over to talk to Bai Xiao but could never find the chance. Naturally, Bai Xiao would not take the initiative to find her.
Yu Lanming pulled Bai Xiao to their table, and Yu Jingxi was also there. The little guy sat next to Mrs. Yu and saw her looking away with a "hum".
Mrs. Yu's feelings for Bai Xiao are still complicated. If it weren't for the complicated relationship, she would really like Bai Xiao, the third daughter-in-law.
"Jing Xi, my aunt and your grandma have something to say. Come over and change seats with your aunt."
Yu Lanming thought that Yu Jingxi didn't like Bai Xiao as his "stepmother", so he couldn't help but kindly mediate the relationship between the two.
Yu Jingxi was reluctant, but she changed her position with Yu Lanming and sat next to Bai Xiao, with a stern expression on her face to show that she was unhappy.
Bai Xiao scooped up a spoonful of cashew nuts and placed it next to him: "What else do you want to eat? I'll pick it up for you."
The little guy seemed to be competing with her. He deliberately refused to eat the cashews she brought. He leaned over to get them by himself. He accidentally knocked over the condiment plate in front of him. One of his sleeves was colorful and had a strong smell of soy and vinegar.
Staring at Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao finally had to take him down from the table and go upstairs to change clothes.
Yu Lanming watched the senior and the young children leaving with interest, and said to Mrs. Yu: "It seems that I am too worried. Jing Xi likes Miss Bai very much."
——————————
Bai Xiao took off Yu Jingxi's suit. She went to get some clothes from the closet. When she turned around, the little guy took off his clothes and got on top!
"I won't go down anymore, please tell grandma."
Bai Xiao picked up the clothes he had thrown on the ground, folded them, and asked him, "Would you like to bring you some food?"
Thinking of Bai Xiao's unreliability, Yu Jingxi curled her lips, ignored her, and continued to play the snake-eating game on his small phone.
The smell of soy sauce and vinegar in the room was a bit strong. Bai Xiao went to the bathroom to wash her small suit, and then went downstairs to get some food for Yu Jingxi. When she returned to the room, Yu Jingxi had fallen asleep on the pillow, sleeping face
Quietly, Bai Xiao kissed his soft cheek, then quietly closed the door and went out.
When he reached the stairs on the second floor, he met Pei Qiyou unexpectedly. Bai Xiao's eyes fell on the women's jacket in his hand.
As she retracted her gaze and stepped down the steps, the train of Organza's skirt caught the handrail next to her. Just as Bai Xiao was about to bend down, someone took a step faster than her. Pei Qiyou had already squatted down, but his hand hadn't touched hers yet.
Bai Xiao suddenly stepped back to avoid his fingers.
Pei Qiyou squatted there, the movements of his hands paused in mid-air, until Bai Xiao passed him and went downstairs. Listening to the footsteps, his hands slowly clenched into fists.
——————————
Most of the relatives of the Yu family went back after dinner. Yu Shaoting and Yu Zhanming sat at the same table until all the other relatives had left. They were still drinking, talking and laughing. When Bai Xiao looked over, Yu Shaoting was talking to one of his cousins.
Clinking glasses, holding a cigarette between his fingers, he took off his suit and put it on the back of the chair.
Old Mrs. Yu Da came over and took Bai Xiao's hand: "Let them drink. It's rare that we all get together today."
Pei's mother and Mrs. Pei have already left, saying they are going to the hotel to decorate. Only they know that if they stay here, they won't be much welcomed by others.
Bai Xiao sat with several old ladies for a while, and then Yu Shaoting came over. He smelled of cigarettes and alcohol, but was still awake. He squeezed in with her on the single sofa, causing Yu Lanming to tease: "When did this mistress come?"
Are you so clingy to your wife?"
When he said this, Su Manrong happened to bring Yu Yiwei over. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Yu Shaoting hugging Bai Xiao without hesitation.
Mrs. Yu turned a blind eye, and the others who she didn't know were laughing happily. Su Manrong had mixed feelings, but she was helpless due to this situation.
Yu Yiwei stared at Bai Xiao and muttered angrily: "Shameless!" As soon as she finished speaking, Su Manrong looked sideways and immediately shut up.
"Weiwei, even if you can't treat Bai Xiaoru like your biological sister, you can't talk about her!"
Yu Yiwei pursed her lips disdainfully, put on a smile again when she entered the living room, sat next to Mrs. Yu, and called out to all the elders in the living room.
Old Mrs. Yu Da said: "Yiwei is about to get married, so we can't accept old age!"
"Grandma, please stop teasing me!" Yu Yiwei showed a shy expression, and her eyes turned to Yu Shaoting and Bai Xiao: "Is my uncle going to find an aunt for me?" That tone, that tone
The look in his eyes was like seeing Bai Xiao for the first time.
Su Manrong stopped her in a low voice: "Weiwei, have you forgotten what I told you?"
However, Yu Shaoting took a sip of tea and said: "If you are in a hurry to call aunt, just call first. My uncle will make up for the red envelope next time."
"..." Yu Yiwei is not even willing to call her sister, so how can she be willing to call her Aunt Bai Xiao?
Bai Xiao's hand rested on the back of Yu Shaoting's hand holding her shoulder. He suddenly tightened a little, as if responding to her, although he didn't look at her.
Pei Qiyou came in with his coat, and Yu Yiwei had already gone over to hold him: "Why did you bring it?"
"I just took a call." Pei Qiyou put the coat on her shoulders and tightened it for her in a protective gesture.
Bai Xiao's shoulder suddenly felt heavy, and she looked away. Yu Shaoting pinched her shoulder so hard that she almost screamed out in pain.
But he drank tea slowly, and his expression was normal.
She couldn't help but whispered: "Why are you pinching me for no reason?" with a somewhat dissatisfied accusation.
"I couldn't control my strength for a moment." Yu Shaoting's explanation was understated. Bai Xiao didn't believe it. He turned to look at her and said, "Then I'll pinch you back."
Bai Xiao was sure that he had done it on purpose. His low-pitched voice suddenly sounded in the living room, especially his serious tone. When everyone else looked over curiously, Bai Xiao's face was as hot as fire.
Qi You also looked at the two people sitting hugging each other, his eyes secretive.
Yu Lanming suddenly suggested: "Second sister-in-law, don't you have an automatic mahjong table at home? My hands are itchy, let's play a few rounds!"
The only ones in this room who were really in a good mood were Yu Lanming and Mrs. Yu Da.
Finally, Bai Xiao was also dragged to the mahjong table. Jiang Yingmei liked to play mahjong, and Bai Xiao followed her and became familiar with it.
Mrs. Yu was not in a good mood today. Originally, Su Manrong was the last person to come to the table. Yu Yiwei, who did not know how to play mahjong, rushed to play. She even chose Bai Xiao as her boss. When she received Yu Yiwei's provocative look, Bai Xiao
He probably guessed what she was thinking, but just laughed it off.
Yu Yiwei felt that Bai Xiao's smile was full of contempt, and she was so angry that she deliberately said loudly: "How big are we playing!"
Yu Lanming agreed, and Mrs. Yu Da also had no objection. Yu Yiwei turned to Pei Qiyou and said, "If I lose too much, you have to help me pay the bill."
Pei Qiyou responded with a faint smile, but inadvertently glanced at Bai Xiao from the corner of his eyes.
Yu Yiwei played a lot, and Bai Xiao frowned. She used to know that those rich ladies played mahjong a lot, and the unlucky ones could lose millions in one night. She didn't want to waste it with Yu Yiwei just because of good face.
She was self-aware and considering whether to get up and give up her seat, a man's wallet was placed in her hand.
Yu Shaoting had put down his tea cup and stood behind her. He put one hand on her chair and held her shoulder with the other. His tall and straight body enveloped her: "You can play as much as you want, just have fun." He said in a low voice.
His voice was like a reassurance, making her sit back in the chair again.
The two elders are both mature old foxes. They know very well that if they lose too much, Yu Yiwei and Bai Xiao, as juniors, will definitely return the money to them.
After playing a few games, Bai Xiao won a lot of money, but Yu Yiwei lost so much that she sweated on her forehead and was pulled off the mahjong table by Su Manrong.
Pei Qiyou was sitting at Bai Xiao's house. Among the people present, he was the only one who knew that Bai Xiao was very good at playing mahjong. She dared to step into the mahjong table for Su Manrong at the age of eight. Her hands were so delicate that they would slip into his when picking up the cards.
In his sight, he even smelled the faint scent of hand cream.
Bai Xiao basically won after Pei Qiyou came to the table. She felt that he deliberately refused to give her any cards, as if he was exhausted with her.
Yu Shaoting, who had gone to the study, came in at some unknown time and saw a lot. When a call came in from Bai Xiao's mobile phone, he went over and asked Bai Xiao to answer the call. When he sat down in Bai Xiao's seat, Yu Lanming stood opposite him.
Surprised: "Xiaosan, don't you not play mahjong?"
Yu Shaoting smiled, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and he said while dealing with cards: "Playing occasionally is good for cultivating one's sentiments."
Pei Qiyou glanced at Yu Shaoting, and just in time, Yu Shaoting also raised his head and looked over, half-smiling: "I'm not good at poker, Qi You, you have to let me play."

Do you want to see Mrs. Pei deflated? I guess it will have to be in the next chapter.... Do you think the mistress’s recent words are mean?
