Chapter 136 Casual Chat During a Mahjong Game
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. I already made plans with Ye Huan, and I've invited Old Ye too. Plus Mary, I'm going to party all night!"
Aunt Xiao stretched her arms and said to Long Ni'er, "Ni'er, you're not allowed to leave today. You're my lucky star. Every time you're by my side, I feel incredibly lucky!"
Long Nier clung to Aunt Xiao's arm and shook it, pleading, "Sister, I won't leave, I'll stay with you!"
"Where are you two brothers?" Aunt Xiao gestured towards us with her chin.
"Sister Yu, there's a bed in the room anyway, let's go to sleep if we're tired!"
I said.
"Alright, you two can ask for whatever you need!" Aunt Xiao said.
About forty minutes later, everyone had arrived.
Besides Ye Huan, the other two were old acquaintances. Aunt Xiao introduced Ye Huan to us and then started playing mahjong.
While they were playing mahjong, Fatty Lin and I took the opportunity to observe Ye Huan.
"You're crazy! This woman is strange; she exudes an evil aura!"
After watching for a while, Fatty Lin nudged me and whispered something.
"What do you mean? Is she raising a ghost or something?" I asked.
"It's not as simple as raising a ghost child!" Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "She exudes an evil aura from the inside out!"
"Let me open my third eye and take a look!" I said after thinking for a moment.
"Take a look!"
Fatty Lin stroked his chin, looking at Ye Huan thoughtfully.
I took out the Ghost Eye Paste, poured two drops into my palm, rubbed it together, closed my eyes and rubbed it a couple of times. When I opened my eyes again and looked at Ye Huan, I understood a little why Fatty Lin said she was evil.
She lacked the brightness of a normal person; she was hazy and dull. If you called her a ghost, she didn't have any ghostly aura; if you called her a human, she didn't have much human energy.
"What's going on?"
After watching it, I was a little confused.
"I don't know!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Third Master said that Jin Gu has a deep connection with the Dark Society. Could it be that Jin Gu sent his goddaughter, Ye Huan, to the Dark Society for 're-education'?"
"That's possible!"
I said.
After studying it for a long time, my brother and I still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Old Ye, do you know who just came?"
Just as I was pondering this, Aunt Xiao said this.
"Who is it?" Ye Yingzi asked.
"That bitch Lan Lan!" Aunt Xiao snorted.
"Why is she here?" Ye Yingzi asked.
"They need something from me!" Aunt Xiao said smugly.
"Sister Yu, would you like some more fruit?"
Upon hearing this, I immediately interrupted.
Third Master had repeatedly warned her not to get involved in the affairs of the Lan couple, nor to speak carelessly. But Aunt Xiao's mouth really had no way of keeping quiet.
"No!" Aunt Xiao waved her hand.
"Sister, I've already taken it!" Long Nier pointed to the card at the opportune moment.
"Yes, yes, yes, it was touched!" Aunt Xiao hurriedly said.
This interruption diverted the conversation, and Ye Yingzi was clever enough not to ask any further questions.
Aunt Xiao harbored a great deal of resentment towards Host Lan.
It wasn't just Lan who harbored resentment towards Xiao Yitai; she had always held a lot of grudges against all the hosts in the industry.
The reason is simple: those people looked down on her.
Aunt Xiao attended many gatherings in the circle. Every time she attended, those people were very polite to her on the surface, but as soon as she was out of Third Master's sight, they immediately turned cold.
To put it bluntly, they looked down on Aunt Xiao.
Unlike those minor celebrities in the entertainment industry, Aunt Xiao could deal with things as she pleased and take revenge as she pleased.
Behind every female microphone, there's a powerful figure behind her; she can't get revenge even if she wanted to.
As a result, the resentment grew deeper and deeper.
After this outburst, Fatty Lin and I dared not let our guard down, fearing that Aunt Xiao might say something else we shouldn't.
They played mahjong until 5 a.m. before the game ended.
Ye Huan didn't say anything nonsensical; he just kept flattering Aunt Xiao.
Besides that, we hear mostly gossip.
For example, Ye Yingzi asked Sister Mary how things were going with Gu Jun.
Mary said they are still in contact and it won't be a while before they break off contact.
Upon hearing Mary's words, Ye Yingzi perked up and asked Mary if it was because Gu Jun was so capable that she couldn't bear to part with him.
Mary didn't shy away from the topic, saying that she really couldn't bear to part with him. She also mentioned that in order to maintain her relationship with Gu Jun, she not only gave Gu Jun's wife a sum of money but also a house.
However, the house will not be registered under Gu Jun's wife's name. Instead, it will be registered under the child's name when Gu Jun has a second child, and the child will be recognized as his godparent.
Mary said that this was something she and Gu Jun's wife had personally discussed and agreed upon.
"Old Liu, you really know how to play the game. Unlike Liu Xian, who could only admit defeat when caught!"
After hearing this, Ye Yingzi said this and then told us about Gu Jun and Liu Xian.
When Gu Jun and Liu Xian were filming that martial arts blockbuster starring Zhang Da Hu Zi, they couldn't help but develop feelings for each other during their scenes together. As a result, they couldn't control themselves and caused quite a stir on set.
After learning about the affair through gossip, Gu Jun's wife immediately went to catch Liu Xian in the act and gave her a good talking-to.
"Liu Xian has actually benefited from this misfortune. Following Gu Jun, she could only have fun. After Gu Jun's wife caused trouble, she got involved with Big Beard, and thanks to Big Beard, she has benefited a lot in the past two years!"
After recounting that experience, Ye Yingzi commented on Liu Xian.
Ye Yingzi didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Xian's actions, and Mary did the same.
For them, forming a couple in a drama series is as simple as eating and drinking.
After talking about Gu Jun, Mary mentioned Xie Xiaohu, saying that Xie Xiaohu and Zhang Piaopiao were getting married.
"Wasn't Lao Xia Xie Xiaohu's white moonlight? How come Xie Xiaohu turned around and married Zhang Piaopiao?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yingzi became sarcastic again.
"What a load of rubbish!"
Mary scoffed at this, saying, "Xie Xiaohu's pursuit of Lao Xia is ill-intentioned. He wants to use Lao Xia's fame to climb the social ladder. We advised Lao Xia against it back then!"
"Also, Xie Xiaohu broke up with Lao Xia for Zhang Piaopiao. You saw how heartbroken Lao Xia was. Lao Xia is Xie Xiaohu's white moonlight? It's more like Xie Xiaohu is Lao Xia's white moonlight!"
"Zhang Piaopiao is a slut. After Xie Xiaohu's cover-up case ended, she came to Lao Xia begging to get back together. Wasn't Zhang Piaopiao with that Xie Jiaxi from Hong Kong?"
Aunt Xiao also joined the fray.
"It's just jealousy!"
Mary is incredibly shrewd; she understands the psychology of those up-and-coming actresses perfectly. "I suspect Zhang Piaopiao didn't use normal methods to win Xie Xiaohu back!"
"I heard that Zhang Piaopiao was searching all over the world for some unorthodox methods during that time!"
"You should have said so earlier! It's too late now. Old Xia has already married that good-for-nothing Xiao Jing, and they even have a child!"
Aunt Xiao chuckled and shook her head.
"It's no use saying so earlier. You all know Old Xia's temper; he's unpredictable!"
Ye Yingzi summarized it in one sentence.
