After her reminder, He Jiashan suddenly recalled who she was. However, she looked more elegant and charismatic tonight than the time when she was at Old Master Shen’s birthday banquet. His eyes suddenly brightened while he placed the cigarette into the ashtray.
“Ms. Shen, what are you doing here?”
Shen Youran blinked, and her dark eyes looked very bright and clever. “I am here to find my brother-in-law. Have you seen him, Young Master He?”
He Jiashan shook his head. “No.”
She gave a faint “Oh” and the gloom in her face could be seen. Just as she was about to leave and close the door, He Jiashan said, “Come in to have some fun. President Gu might be busy. I can accompany you to find him later.”
She awkwardly glanced at the others and slightly blushed. “But I don’t know any of your friends.”
His friends were also understanding people. One of them said, “It’s okay. We may be strangers at the first meeting, but we will get closer. Besides, Young Master He’s friends are our friends. We will be more familiar with each other after getting to know each other.”
Shen Youran pretended to look hesitant and unsure. He Jiashan stood up and walked toward her before holding her hand to bring her into the suite. He pushed her down to the seat where he previously sat and said, “You can play it.”
“I only know how to play a little.” She glanced at the table and saw that they seemed to be making big bets, with one round costing around thousands of yuan.
“If you lose, everything is on me. If you win, you can take the money.” The woman beside her understandably gave her seat to He Jiashan and He Jiashan sat down beside Shen Youran.
Shen Youran jokingly said, “If I lose all of your money, wouldn’t I have to be your mortgage?”
The others gave a peal of laughter while throwing coquettish looks at both of them.
He Jiashan leaned closer to her and said in a flirty tone beside her ear, “If you are willing, I am more than happy to take you in.”
Shen Youran gave a light chuckle and remained quiet, only continuing to look at her mahjong tiles.
She was not lying when she said that her playing skills were poor. However, with He Jiashan giving her pointers coupled with his friends purposely giving way to her, she won quite a lot and lost very little money.
As she played a few games, she consciously chatted with He Jiashan.
However, He Jiashan seemed a little out of sorts. She had sprayed some perfume and they were sitting really close to each other. The faint and refreshing scent had already made him fall head over heels for her.
She put out a mahjong tile. “Young Master He, I heard that Mayor He is going to be the Deputy Governor soon. Your dad’s career keeps getting better. What did the He family do to get such luck? I am so envious of you.”
He Jiashan gave a light chuckle and did not carry on the conversation.
She was very aware that hastiness would not do the trick and focused on playing.
The man in front of Shen Youran lost all of his money, and someone initiated that the loser would drink alcohol.
As such, they changed the bet from money to alcohol.
The other people stopped giving way to her and Shen Youran lost one game after another, causing her to continuously drink a lot of alcohol.
Whenever she did not know which tile to put out, she would ask He Jiashan. However, regardless of which tile she was holding, he just nodded. She did not doubt him and put the tile out, causing the others to win many times.
She put out a tile and casually asked, “Is Mayor He really going to be promoted to become the Deputy Governor?”
He Jiashan curled his lips up to give a casual yet evil smile. “Only my dad knows about it. How about I bring you home and you can ask him yourself?”
In response to his flirty words, she only laughed it off. If it wasn’t because she wanted to get some information from him, she would have left long ago.
Although her alcohol tolerance was not bad, after drinking one glass after another, she started to feel a little dizzy. She said “excuse me” to the others and staggered her way to the washroom.
