Chapter 155: Who’s Lucky?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The surrounding people clicked their tongues silently at Gao Qiao’s lackey attitude and they started making guesses at Ye Yao’s identity.
The game began. Ye Yao slowly picked up the tiles. Actually, she was not very familiar with mahjong.
“3 Sticks.” Xu Zhicheng threw down a tile and said to Ye Yao provocatively, “Didn’t you say that you’d win on a tile thrown out by me? Here, is this your winning tile?”
Just as Xu Zhicheng was about to pick up a new tile, Ye Yao suddenly said, “Wait. ”
Xu Zhicheng chuckled. “What is it? Don’t tell me this is your winning tile?”
Ye Yao frowned, then laughed out loud. “Yes, I indeed!” As she spoke, she revealed her hand. Not only did she win, but she won big!
Gao Qiao sucked in a breath of cold air. “You’re indeed the boss! It’s a huge win! Awesome! Hahaha, you’ve won back all the money I’ve lost tonight in a single game!”
Everyone around the table was dumbfounded by Ye Yao’s hand. Even the onlookers were dumbfounded. In mahjong, this sort of hand was rare! Heavens! Her luck was too good!
“Wait a minute…” Xu Zhicheng couldn’t believe it. He stared at Ye Yao’s tiles for a long time and finally confirmed that it was a huge win. His expression instantly turned ugly.
Gao Qiao danced around in joy. “Let me tell you, you’d better believe it. Ye Yao
has nothing but good luck! Her luck is so good that you’ll doubt your own existence!” Gao Qiao even sometimes wondered if Ye Yao had used her jinxing ability to snag Huo Buyu. Otherwise, how could she have become Huo Buyu’s girlfriend?
Gao Qiao was thoroughly convinced. He had always felt that Huo Buyu’s feelings for her were unexplainable. Hence Yao must have used her special ability.
Xu Zhicheng pursed his lips. Ye Yao’s tiles were clearly laid out, so it was useless no matter how much he questioned it.
“Another game!” Xu Zhicheng pushed the tiles away. “The first round doesn’t count. I won’t let you win the next round.”
Ye Yao smiled. “Is that so? Then I think you’d be able to give me another winning tile for this one.”
They began to shuffle the tiles. As it was an entertainment game, the mahjong tiles were set up by themselves. This time, after collecting their tiles and playing one round, Xu Zhicheng collected a new tile and laughed when he looked at it. “To think this tile would come to me. Just watch. I’ll definitely win this game!”
Ye Yao smiled at Xu Zhicheng. “Is that so? I think you’re about to throw down my winning tile.”
“I don’t believe that!” Xu Zhicheng threw down a tile. “9 Wan!”
“I won!” Ye Yao was overjoyed. “9 Wan indeed!”
Xu Zhicheng was incredulous. “You won again?!”
Ye Yao shrugged. “That’s right. Not like I have a choice. I was lucky.”
“Another game! Another game! I don’t believe it.” Xu Zhicheng had seriously come up against Ye Yao this time. Gao Qiao was grinning from ear to ear. He had to let Ye Yao teach Xu Zhicheng a lesson. Otherwise, the man had no idea what true luck was!
After that, Ye Yao kept winning from the tile thrown down by Xu Zhicheng.
Gradually, Xu Zhicheng’s forehead was covered in sweat. Gao Qiao noted that
Ye Yao repeatedly remarked that she’d get her winning tiles from Xu Zhicheng, and realized that Ye Yao did not know how to play mahjong. Hence, he reminded the girl appropriately, “In a mahjong game, your winnings double, and you also get money from all the other players, if you drew the winning tile yourself.”
Ye Yao glared at Gao Qiao. “Why didn’t you say so earlier! Then from now on, I won’t get my winning tiles from others. I’ll just draw them myself!”
When Xu Zhicheng heard this, he said angrily, “You think you can draw the winning tile just because you say so!’
Ye Yao replied, “Just watch me. See if I’ll be able to draw my winning tile.”
A new round began. After collecting their tiles, Xu Zhicheng threw out a tile. “Six Wan!”
The next two people also threw down a 6 Wan each. It was Ye Yao’s turn to draw a tile. She laughed and revealed her hand. “Here it is. 6 Wan. Self-drawn winning tile!”
The three people at the table looked at each other.
Xu Zhicheng immediately exploded. “You can’t do this. You didn’t take the winning tile when we threw down the 6 Wan, but took the one drawn by yourself. This doesn’t count!”
Gao Qiao couldn’t take it anymore. “How is it not counted? There’s no rule that you must take a winning tile thrown down by someone else. Hurry up and pay up!”
It didn’t take long for Ye Yao to win a lot of money. Of course, the money she won added up to only a few hundred yuan. Although these people were all rich second-generation heirs, the stakes they played were very small. One or two yuan for each game. It was considered significant if they even won or lost about 100 yuan a night. To them, playing mahjong was just to pass time, not to gamble. Therefore, no matter how lucky Ye Yao was, she only won just over 100 yuan. Of course, she also won back the money that Gao Qiao had lost previously..
