This card was a bad one, and the other three women seemed less unhappy.
Mrs.
Jian's card skills are notoriously bad among Shanghai's elite circles.
Winning the "tiger head" was so easy that Mrs.
Jian, who had always lost every bet, became addicted to gambling.
Mrs.
Jian's almond-shaped eyes were filled with uncertainty.
She looked up at the flowers and listened for a moment.
Then she took back her empty hand, pulled the silk and carefully wiped her tobacco-stained fingers.
The smile on her face deepened, and her words could not conceal her pride. : "Help me catch a few more laps."
But he refused to give up his seat.
Hua Ting stood beside her, leaning slightly, looking at the cards and pursed her lips.
There was no extra expression on her face, and she looked like she was serious about having fun.
From Jian Yi's line of sight, she could just see her edges.
The distinct mandible slightly retracted, and he played another hand of cards.
Mrs.
Jian covered the corner of her mouth with a piece of silk and smiled secretly.
She was in a very good mood, and even the way she looked at Hua Ting became different.
The atmosphere at the card table suddenly reached a deadlock, and everyone was no longer interested in playing cards anymore.
Mrs.
Jian modestly smoothed things over, motioning for everyone to play a few more rounds, and generously gave up her seat to Hua Ting, while she was poor.
The man brought over the newly made Panlong Cake and said, "Everyone, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."
The other ladies didn't have any appetite.
They just stared at the dominoes in their hands, fearing that they would accidentally light the cannon again for Hua Ting.
After another round, Hua Ting won back the money she had just lost for Mrs.
Jian.
Upon hearing this, Mrs.
Jian even smiled at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
She happily took her hand and sat down beside her, "My family My daughter-in-law is just lucky."
Her attitude changed completely.
Now she admits that Qihuating is the daughter-in-law of their Jian family.
Mrs.
Jian is really greedy for money.
Mrs.
Jian's silk was twirled around her fingertips, and she smiled deeply when she looked at the dominoes in Hua Ting's hand.
It was already dinner time, but she didn't even realize it, clamoring for another round.
After this round, Hua Ting won a lot of money for her again, so she smiled.
The familiar coquettish smile rose from her throat and hummed in her nose, but it lacked her usual contempt and disdain.
The three ladies left angrily.
Mrs.
Jian's fingers dyed bright red were dexterously counting the pile of banknotes in front of the table, and she did not forget to warmly greet her to dinner.
As soon as Hua Ting sat down at the dining table, Mrs.
Jian took a bright-colored jade pendant from the room at some point.
As soon as she sat down, she handed it to her and said, "Hua Ting, this is passed down from the ancestors of our Jian family."
Shi Qing Jade Pendant, I think it has been some time since you have been married to our Jian family, and it is time for this jade pendant to be handed over to you. " Hua Ting took it and took a look.

The jade was fine mutton-fat jade, with fine pores and a fine surface.
There is no auspicious pattern of auspicious clouds, gold and jade carved, only a magnolia flower is slanted, simple and elegant, strung with azure colored glass beads, and made into a plum blossom network.
In fact, Hua Ting was not interested in jade or gold at all.
Just when she was about to refuse, Jian Yi snatched it from her hand and put the jade pendant around her neck before taking a closer look. .
The jade is indeed of the finest quality, its tentacles are warm, and its veins happen to be hanging on the heart, protecting the chest and ribs.
Whatever you want, just wear it, it’s not a loss anyway.
Seeing the happy scene of this family, Jian Maosheng's eyes were filled with joy, and his appetite was greatly increased.
Three bowls of rice were not enough.
Hua Ting felt like laughing inexplicably.
Does this mean that she has officially married into their Jian family?
Look at her unconscious actions just now, she actually solved this everlasting "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem" properly.
It's just right, it's amazing I learned from Jian Maosheng that Bai Qihong seemed to have encountered some troubles recently.
It was said that he wanted to buy a piece of land in the southern suburbs from Chen Shu, but he couldn't bear to sit at the same wine table with this yellow-haired boy. , saying that the age and seniority gap is far apart, which detracts from his status as the "Hong Ye" of Shanghai, but he covets the land in his hands, and is currently in a dilemma.
Then the opportunity comes.
"Let me go."
Hua Ting was eager to give it a try.
"Oh" Jian Maosheng was surprised and at the same time there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"I have some friendship with Gang Leader Chen.
He asked me to go talk to him."
The next day, Hua Ting sent someone to the Bremen Cafe to invite Gang Leader Chen to the Juxintang Tea House to listen to a play and have afternoon tea.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, a cool soft-top convertible car parked in Las Vegas.
Pull outside the casino.
The streamlined body resembled the figure of a cheetah galloping.
Hua Ting got into the back seat of the car under envious eyes.
Before she could sit firmly, Chen Shu stepped on the accelerator, and a roaring sound started.
Chen Shu's steering wheel turned left and right.
Circling, the car was going very fast, and turned into the main road in the blink of an eye.
"When did you learn to drive?"
Hua Ting asked casually.
"Five or six years ago."
Chen Shu replied calmly.
Hua Ting didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shu's taste has improved since he became the leader of the Dragon Gang.
Hua Ting originally invited him to have a cup of afternoon tea at the Juxintang Teahouse, but he didn't expect that he took it upon himself to drive the car into a price restaurant at the corner of the city center.
Expensive hotel for foreigners.
As soon as Hua heard about the car, her sharp eyes saw a familiar black old Jim car following her ten meters behind her to her right.
The car stopped at a corner, and Jian Yi stepped out of the door.
She wore a beige plaid shirt, a slim dark suit, a pair of small trousers, and a pair of matte designer cowhide shoes.
She walked towards the convertible Standing next to the car, it looks like a moving male peacock.
Sure enough, he still couldn't change his bad habit of following her.
"Let's go, you must like this afternoon tea."
Chen Shu threw the car keys to the waiter outside the door, and turned to look at Hua Ting's face with some worry.
"It's up to you."
Hua Ting followed indifferently.
Of course Hua Ting knows this Lisa Hotel.

It is the only six-star hotel in Shanghai and one of the three tallest buildings in the city.
Its S-shaped high-rise streamline design and shell-shaped skirting are rated as the most distinctive in Shanghai. architecture.
Sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the 66th floor, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.
Looking around, you can see the rows of tall buildings, the winding Huangpu River, and almost the entire Shanghai at a glance.
After all, it is a high-end hotel.
The snacks are so exquisite that you can’t bear to eat them.
Crispy balls, blueberry yogurt, tiramisu, and the pudding and fruit stand are all very well matched.
It will satisfy your overly hungry stomach.
The child was about to take action and forgot about this important matter.
Chen Shu was obviously a regular customer here.
He skillfully ordered a cup of Blue Lover for Hua Ting.
He didn’t know what it was mixed with.
The whole drink gradually changed from the transparent color at the bottom to lake blue.
Hua Ting just sipped it slightly.
After taking a sip, there is a refreshing fragrance in the mouth, which is sour and sweet.
It is much better than the Paramount cocktail.
Seeing that Hua Ting was enjoying his meal, Chen Shu leaned on the sofa and put his arms back on the back of the sofa, exuding an air of openness and leisure.
"You took the initiative to come to me this time, you must have something to do."
She was really hungry, so she took a small silver spoon and took a mouthful of tiramisu and put it into her mouth.
The rich milk aroma was mixed with the bitter taste of chocolate, and the smooth and sweet aroma of the cake swept over her taste buds.
Finally, there was food in her empty stomach.
She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, "Smart."
"explain."
"It's about the land in the southern suburbs."
A piece of tiramisu had just filled her stomach.
She picked up a golden pastry and put it into her mouth.
It was crispy and sweet, and a sesame seed accidentally stuck to the corner of her mouth.
He quickly licked it with the tip of his tongue and said, "Sell it to me."
"That piece of land."
Chen Shu leaned forward, holding his chin with one hand, staring at her intently with a pair of amber eyes, "That's why."
"Yeah."
Hua Ting responded calmly.
The smile on Chen Shu's lips faded, "You asked me to meet just to tell me this."
"Well, you make a price."
Hua Ting's tone was as calm as if she was really just talking about an insignificant business, a business that had nothing to do with romance, without any personal feelings or emotional warmth.
Chen Shu searched her eyes carefully, but couldn't find any warmth.
She had a pair of very beautiful and heroic eyebrows.
The ends of her eyes were lifted up and radiant.
Even the curves of her eyelashes seemed to be carefully crafted.
It has been carefully considered, even if the eyes don't move, it is still charming.
It's just that this style is cold.
If you look closely, it's still lifeless, like a mask with no popularity.
It seems that she is chatting and laughing with you, and you are confiding in her, but she doesn't take you seriously at all.
Chen Shu's fingers formed a weak arc on the corner of the table.
Even weaker than his fingers was his voice, "Hua Ting, do you think we still have a chance?"

"No."
She raised her head arrogantly, without any warmth in her words.
Chen Shu stopped smiling and looked at her arrogant eyebrows.
The gears in his mind were turning back inch by inch, retreating to the first time he held her cold hand, retreating to the first time she called his name, retreating to her The first time she took the initiative to kiss him, and even earlier, the moment she raised her gun in the Bremen cafe, he liked it.
The long silence made Hua Ting feel slightly uncomfortable.
Although she raised her eyelids, she did not look at him.
She just opened her mouth and asked again, "Chen Shu, do you want to sell that piece of land or not?"
