Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

The main banquet is over.

Zhou Yi arranged many games for everyone, and Li Yanxiu and several of his familiar friends formed a mahjong table.

At first, Li Yanxiu thought she was bored and wanted her to play, but Lin Qian refused on the grounds that she didn't know how to play.

She sat obediently beside Li Yanxiu and watched him fight.

Jiang Zining sat in the room above him, while Gu Ming and He Mingyan sat in the other two rooms respectively.

At the beginning, Lin Qian was confused.

The more you read, the more you will understand.

She also discovered that Jiang Zining was quietly feeding cards to Li Yanxiu.

This inevitably reminded her of the saying "a wife follows her husband's lead", and she even sided with the person she liked when playing mahjong.

Li Yanxiu leaned back in the chair, holding a lit cigarette in one hand, with a faint smoke rising from the end of the cigarette, and the other hand playing cards casually on the table.

Li Yanxiu: "That's nonsense."

Jiang Zining: "Brother Yanxiu, you are lucky today."

Gu Ming looked unconvinced, "Sister Zining, do you dare to push the cards aside so that everyone can see whether his cards are better or you fed him more?"

Jiang Zining blushed all of a sudden, "Gu Ming, if you lose, just admit defeat and give me the money."

Gu Ming looked unhappy and said with a curled lip, "It seems like if I give it to you, it's your family's money. You're asking for it so actively."

Jiang Zining said proudly, "That's not necessarily true."

Jiang Zining had a smile on her lips, and it was obvious that she was saying this on purpose for Lin Qian to hear.

Lin Qian suddenly felt as if something was blocking her chest, making her feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

The young couple are united as one, so what does she mean here?

Lin Qian stood up calmly, walked out of the room, and leaned against the window in the corridor to get some fresh air.

The wind blew in from the corridor, and she suddenly felt much better.

She looked in from the door several times, but could only see Li Yanxiu's back, while Jiang Zining spoke to him with loving eyes.

I don’t know what happened, but when Zhou Yi went in, Gu Ming stood up and gave him the cards.

Lin Qian turned her head and looked out the window, but unexpectedly, Gu Ming was walking towards the door.

He handed a glass of juice to Lin Qian and held a glass of red wine himself.

Lin Qian took the juice with some surprise and greeted politely, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Ming clinked his glass against hers and took a sip of red wine. "Why are you being so polite? Just call me Xiao Gu."

Lin Qian smiled and shook her head.

"Not used to this kind of occasion?"

“It’s a bit uncomfortable.”

"Even if you are not used to it, you have to adapt slowly. Mr. Li will bring you to such occasions more often in the future."

After hearing what Gu Ming said, Lin Qian subconsciously looked towards the card table.

Li Yanxiu sat lazily in the chair, playing cards with one hand in a casual posture, and talked to Zhou Yi and the others.

After saying this, Jiang Zining covered her mouth and smiled shyly. Then, she raised her head and looked at Li Yanxiu with admiration.

It was obvious that they were having a great time and had no time to care about her.

Lin Qian raised the glass, smiled bitterly, tilted her swan neck, and took a sip of orange juice elegantly.

Li Yanxiu seemed to feel that the seat next to him had been empty for too long, and subconsciously looked towards the door.

Just then, she saw Gu Ming and Lin Qian clinking glasses. Lin Qian smiled slightly and drank the orange juice.

"Yan Xiu." Jiang Zining called him.

"Boom."

Li Yanxiu withdrew his gaze and played a card with a cold face.

Gu Ming had noticed long ago that Lin Qian's eyes had never left Li Yanxiu, so he leaned close to Lin Qian's ear and said.

"You like my big brother, right?"

"I...I didn't." Lin Qian answered hesitantly.

"You are lying!" Gu Ming retorted directly.

"No."

Lin Qian denied it immediately.

Can't explain clearly.

She wasn't sure whether she...liked Li Yanxiu or not.

I can only say that I have a good impression of it.

Lin Qian felt bitter inside. She pursed her lips and clenched the wine glass in her hand. "But your elder brother doesn't seem to care whether others like him or not. I think he seems to be more interested in Miss Jiang."

After saying that, Lin Qian withdrew her gaze, turned around dejectedly, and looked up at the not-so-round moon.

Under the moonlight, the girl in a white dress felt inexplicably lonely.

Gu Ming couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Lin Qian suddenly asked Gu Ming, "If you men don't like a woman, would you still keep her by your side?"

When Gu Ming heard this, he came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the little sister was trapped in love.

Gu Ming drank the remaining red wine in the glass and did not speak for a long while.

Lin Qian looked at him in confusion.

After a pause, he glanced at Li Yanxiu with a smirk on his face, "It's possible, but you can't completely ignore his inner feelings. He keeps you by his side because he has a good impression of you, but it's not to the level of love. You can't say that he doesn't like you at all, right?"

Lin Qian shook her head. She didn’t believe that Li Yanxiu had any feelings for her.

"Do not believe?"

Gu Ming curled his lips, and as if he had evil intentions in mind, he set his sights on Lin Qian, and said playfully, "This is not easy. Let's try it and we'll know."

Lin Qian frowned, feeling a little tempted, "How do I try it?"

She was just curious about how to try it, but she didn't expect Gu Ming to have already pulled her into the house.

Li Yanxiu watched Lin Qian being dragged into the house by Gu Ming. He felt a little unhappy inside, but his face was very calm.

Lin Qian was still questioning Gu Ming's credibility in the previous second, and in the next second, she was dragged into the house by him.

Gu Ming pulled her into the house, yelling at them to take a walk as they walked.

Everyone at the card table looked towards the door.

Maybe because she had been with men for too long, she seemed to feel that someone was looking directly at her.

Lin Qian subconsciously shook off Gu Ming's hand, lowered her head, and obediently slipped back behind Li Yanxiu.

He just chose a card and played it with an indifferent expression, without even looking at her.

Lin Qian's eyes darkened unconsciously. Isn't it said that one would be jealous if the person he likes is with someone else?

But when he saw Gu Shao pulling her, he seemed to have no reaction.

"Stop playing, stop playing. You've been playing for so long, are you annoyed?" Gu Ming ruined the game.

Then he moved his position, walked to the sofa next to him, and shouted loudly.

"Come on, come on, let's play a game, truth or dare. Come on, come on, what are you still standing there for?"

He stood beside the sofa and kept waving towards the mahjong table, looking just like a saleswoman in a shopping mall.

The girls next to them looked at each other, stood up and walked towards the sofa together with great interest.

"The girls are all here, what are you guys still dawdling about for? Come on, my brother, come on."

Li Yanxiu stood up, gently put his arm around Lin Qian's waist, and walked towards the sofa.

Jiang Zining originally thought that this kind of game was stupid, but when she saw everyone going over, especially Li Yanxiu, she followed.

Li Yanxiu pulled Lin Qian to sit beside him, while Jiang Zining walked to Gu Ming, kicked him and signaled him to move aside.

Gu Ming snorted and quickly made way for the seat, looking at the group on the left seat with a smirk on his face.

Li Yanxiu leaned lazily on the sofa, his long legs crossed, one hand casually resting on his leg, and the other hand resting on the back of the sofa.

Lin Qian sat on his left, with a slight distance between them, and the man's body moved slightly closer to her.

Jiang Zining sat on the right side of Li Yanxiu. Compared with Lin Qian's well-behaved appearance, she looked more like a hostess.

Lin Qian's situation looked extremely awkward.

Compared with Jiang Zining's status, she was just like the woman sitting next to Gu Ming and Zhou Yi opposite her. She was just a girl brought by Li Yanxiu, and she was forgotten after being replaced in three or five days.

"Lin Qian, you didn't participate in any activities today, how about we play together?" Gu Ming asked sincerely, winking at her secretly.

Everyone looked at her, waiting for her answer.

Lin Qian clenched her fists, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lin Qian looked at Li Yanxiu.

Li Yanxiu glanced at Lin Qian, as if the scene he just saw made him unhappy. He had a blank expression on his face and had no intention of helping her out.

At this time Jiang Zining smiled and said sympathetically, "Gu Ming, don't joke with Miss Lin. She is timid and can't stand your big adventure."

Lin Qian clenched her fists.

Lin Qian just felt disgusted. She said she couldn't afford to have fun. She had been pretending to be considerate all night.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Li Yanxiu felt a little soft-hearted and said calmly, "If she doesn't want to play, just let her watch from the side."

Zhou Yi also spoke up, "Yes, yes, Gu Ming, don't force Lin Qian. This person is enough. Let's get started."

At this moment, a voice came from the corner, soft but firm, "I'll participate!"
