Chapter 233: Chapter 233: I Love You (7)

About fifteen minutes later, three people sat at the mahjong table, with Gu Lili being dragged over. She kept stating she didn’t know how to play mahjong, but Antonio insisted on including her in the game.

"Since you’re so enthusiastic, let’s play for money," Gu Lili said with a slight smile, "That way I’ll actually be motivated to learn how to play."

"Are you sure you, a novice, want to play for money with me?"

"What else?" Gu Lili was dead serious. "Only the two of us will use money. The other two, win or lose, won’t use money. Dare to play?"

"You really don’t know how to play mahjong?" Antonio asked suspiciously, seeing her so confident.

"Honestly, I really don’t, but that’s ok, I’ll learn." Gu Lili chuckled, "Antonio, are you in?"

"Of course, how much do you want to play for per game?"

"Let’s keep it small, five hundred yuan a time."

"Five hundred is too little. If we’re going to play, let’s play big, five thousand a time."

"Isn’t that too much?" Gu Lili smiled brightly, "Small betting for fun is fine, but high stakes are harmful."

"Are you getting cold feet now?" Antonio asked leisurely.

"Not at all. It’s just fun and games among friends. We’re one short now, we still need one more person to join."

"Long Yubei, call one of your men over."

Long Yubei was about to call Tang Qingli over but happened to see Long Tianjiao coming over with a gloomy face.

"Tian Jiao, wanna play mahjong?"

"Sure."

Long Tianjiao sat opposite Gu Lili, her mood was obviously downbeat.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Hm? What’s wrong?" Gu Lili smiled, "You look upset, who annoyed you?"

"I dropped out of school." Long Tianjiao didn’t dare to look into Long Yubei’s eyes, speaking to herself, "My brother is definitely going to scold me."

Unexpectedly, Long Yubei didn’t scold her, "It’s your life, your own choice, as long as you think it’s the right thing to do and you won’t regret it in the future, that’s fine."

Long Tianjiao looked at him, surprised, "Brother, I’m a bit shocked to hear these words coming from you."

"Your sister-in-law never attended school; her master graduated from a prestigious university and imparted all his knowledge to her. That’s why you see a sister-in-law coming out of the mountains but not a silly girl. Knowledge might not change one’s fate, but it gives you a wider range of choices. Naturally, I wish you could finish your studies. But since it’s really not your forte, I think if you can settle down and seriously study another profession, that’s good too."

While shuffling the mahjong tiles, Long Tianjiao said, "Right now, I don’t want to do anything. I just want to be a celebrity."

"Being a celebrity, you will face a lot of rumors and slanders. Those who dislike you will attack you personally, try to smear you, and moreover, if you want to become popular, you need solid acting skills. That’s something you’ll have to work hard and study earnestly to achieve. The family can provide you with resources, but whether you can make it big still depends on you."

Gu Lili chimed in, "I think what your brother said makes a lot of sense. Tian Jiao, you really need to think it through."

"Brother, sister-in-law, I’ve thought it all through." Long Tianjiao’s mood improved a bit, "I’ve never wanted to do something this much before. This time I want to change myself and not just drift through life anymore. I also don’t want to rely on the family for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Long Yubei actually smiled, "Having this mindset shows you’ve grown up."

After three rounds, Gu Lili had lost all three.
