But she looked way too little. Lin Che thought that she didn’t even look legal yet.

Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Che and immediately exclaimed, “Ah, Lin Che! I know you. You’re that celebrity, Lin Che, right?”

Lin Che looked at her in surprise, “You know who I am?”

“Of course. My classmates all adore you,” she smiled and said. She turned to Jingze and said, “But nobody has mentioned that Lin Che was already married.”

Gu Jingze said at the side, “This information is still a secret.”

“Ah, I get it, I get it. A secret marriage. It’s a trend nowadays too.”

Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them with an obvious grin on her face.

At the side, Mu Wanqing smiled at Xiao Xiao, “Little Xiao, you know Lin Che?”

Xiao Xiao replied, “Of course. I even binge-watched Sister Lin Che’s role as Chen Yihan. I liked that character a lot. Sister Lin Che is a big star and many people know that.”

Mu Wanqing heard this and was extremely elated. She looked at Lin Che and said proudly, “Yes, yes. Our Lin Che is especially outstanding even when she’s outside.”

Lin Che got shy from hearing all these words.

Xiao Xiao said, “I didn’t think Sister Lin Che would be married into this family.”

Mu Wanqing laughed and said, “Yes. It is our fortune for Lin Che to be able to join our family.”

“Indeed. We all feel that Sister Lin Che is especially interesting.”

“Yes, in our family, she’s our happy pill. The moment she’s here, our entire family becomes particularly happy.”

Lin Che was blushing as she laughed and said, “Mom, my head will go up into the clouds if you continue praising me.”

“Mom is only stating facts. Come, come. Let’s not stand here anymore and go in.”

When they went in, Mu Wanqing saw that everybody was inside. She said to them, “Since there’s nothing to do, let’s play mahjong.”

Gu Jingming said at the side, “I don’t know how to play that.”

“Who says you’re playing? You can watch Xiao Xiao play from the side,” Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che. “Little Che, do you know how to play?”

Lin Che replied, “But of course. It’s mahjong. I’m very good at it.”

Mu Wanqing heard her say this and laughed, “Really? That’s great. You’re in.”

“Great! I haven’t played mahjong in a long while, so I forgot everything. Today will be my comeback. Mom, you won’t hit me if I win too much, right? I won’t go easy on you.”

Mu Wanqing heard and burst into laughter, “Alright, you can win however much you want. I won’t ask for payback no matter how much you win. But don’t come crying to me if you lose.”

Lin Che said, “Ah, I will definitely cry. I don’t have money to lose.”

Mu Wanqing laughed even harder, “If you have no money, then you’ll just be stuck here with me.”

Gu Jingze’s face darkened as he said, “Alright, you can lose in peace. I have money.”

She was crying about being poor outside? She was totally not giving face to her husband!

She was married to Gu Jingze, the big CEO, after all.

If outsiders knew how this Mrs. Gu was always claiming she had no money, she would have been a laughing stock.

Mu Wanqing heard and said from behind, “See? Our second son is starting to protect his wife. You’re so scared that I would make my daughter-in-law stay and keep me company? Relax, I won’t do that. No matter how much she loses, you can take her back. I also want you to be together all day, and every day so that you can give me a grandchild sooner.”

“...”

Gu Jingze’s face was black while Gu Jingming joined in the laughter behind.

The mahjong table was quickly set up. Mu Wanqing and Lin Che sat on opposite sides while Xiao Xiao and some relative whom Lin Che did not know the name of sat beside them.

Big President Gu Jingming sat and watched behind Xiao Xiao. Despite her young age, she was very good at the game. On the other hand, luck was not on Lin Che’s side as she kept losing.

After a while, she had already lost beyond recovery.

Mu Wanqing said, “Look, Little Che. Where is your momentum from just now?”

Lin Che could only say, “Mom, you must be thinking I was just bragging, right? But I’m really not. We used to play it all the time in our hostel. I was the unbeatable champion.”

Gu Jingze looked speechlessly at her but couldn’t do anything. He continued watching her play.

“Okay, play this one.”

“Lin Che, where’s your brain? You just threw out the tile you wanted.”

“Lin Che! You’re going to lose. Where are your eyes?”

Gu Jingze had to hand it to her. She dared to claim to be the unbeatable champion while playing like this.

Mu Wanqing chuckled as she watched the two of them. She exchanged a look with Gu Jingming. Her thoughts were obvious.

They finally saw the day this blockhead of theirs would have someone to bicker with. And now, his relationship with Lin Che was really becoming better and closer.

Eventually, with the help of Gu Jingze, Lin Che turned her luck around and even won quite a bit.

Xiao Xiao lost terribly. She said speechlessly to Gu Jingming, “Mr. President, did you intentionally lose to your siblings? You didn’t make yourself useful at all.”

Gu Jingming said, “How much did you lose? I’ll return it to you.”

Xiao Xiao only pouted and looked at Gu Jingze, “You two are a formidable combination like a pair of ninja warriors. I’m not playing anymore. I see you guys are basically dog abusers. As sweet as honey, you’re out to torture single dogs like me.”

Just like that, everybody dispersed.

Lin Che took the chips to change money and realized she had won a few million in an instant.

“Wow, your family plays big,” Lin Che did not expect it and she quickly patted her chest, “Thank God I didn’t lose. Otherwise, I’d have lost even my clothes.”

Gu Jingze shook his head and looked at her, “Don’t claim to know how to play in the future. Just look at the rubbish you played just now.”

“What? What? I play well,” Lin Che was adamant. “I was just unlucky today.”

“No, you didn’t even use your brain to play.”

“Why should I use my brain for a game?”

“Don’t tell me that you don’t think about what tiles the next person has and what tiles you should discard? Don’t you know how to feel the tiles or guess what the other player may discard?” Gu Jingze asked.

Lin Che said, “How do I deduce all those...”

“...” Gu Jingze shook his head. He just knew it would be useless to say anything more, “With your brain, don’t go playing mahjong carelessly anymore.”

Lin Che said in contempt, “I think playing mahjong is all about entertainment. It’s for relaxation. Why is there a need to make it so complicated by calculating this and that? It would be as taxing as work, wouldn’t it? If it’s going to be so taxing, then what’s the point of playing? You might as well go back to work and count your votes.”

“...” Gu Jingze felt that he could not come up with a reply for that.

This girl’s brain was filled with all this warped logic.

More importantly, whatever she said made people think that she did have a point.

Gu Jingze thought that he should distance himself from her a little. Otherwise, he would easily become infected by her intelligence.

Why else would he feel like what she said was actually right?
