Lin Man thought about Pei Xiuhe's words and silently agreed with them.

If she had been able to keep quiet and just take the compensation and leave, she would have lived a good life, but she insisted on making a fuss, and in the end, she even lost her life.

She really admired Pei Xiuhe for this, as her thinking was so advanced.

Just as I looked up, I found Pei Xiuhe had already opened the door.

Zheng Xu had already woken up. His face was flushed and he looked at Gan Tian with smiling eyes. They were chatting animatedly.

Pei Yan leaned against the wall. He saw Zheng Xiuhe and Lin Man looking at him, but he didn't say anything. He just lit a cigarette. The smoke made it impossible to see their expressions clearly.

Lin Man watched as Zheng Xu got very close to Gan Tian. When he reached out to pick the willow catkins from Gan Tian's nose, Lin Man could feel Pei Xiuhe holding her arm tightly.

She laughed. She said she was open-minded, but which woman really didn't mind? It was just like a man, wearing a turtle mask on his head.

“I’ll go first…”

Before she could finish her words about leaving, Pei Xiuhe pulled her over and said, "Hubby, someone from the west of the city came to make trouble just now. Mom asked you to go back to the old house tonight."

Sure enough, after Pei Xiuhe finished speaking, Lin Man could feel Zheng Xu's face darken instantly, as if he was disappointed to mention this person. "Got it, I'll go back tonight."

Lin Man couldn't find a chance to interrupt.

Gan Tian started chatting with a few people around her, deliberately leaving Lin Man alone.

But when it came to chatting, only Zheng Xu and Pei Xiuhe answered her. Lin Man and Pei Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end.

In the end, Gan Tian suggested playing board games.

Zheng Xu: "Okay! It's good to play board games. Ah Yan and I often played them when we were abroad. Xiu He can play too, right?"

"I don't play."

“I don’t participate.”

Two voices sounded at the same time. Pei Yan and Lin Man looked at each other at the same time, but quickly looked away.

"This..." Zheng Xu was a little at a loss.

The scene was silent. Zheng Xu patted Pei Yan on the shoulder and said, "A Yan, what's going on?"

"Xiu He, thank you for your clothes. I'll go back and buy you a new one. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Man turned to leave, but Zheng Xiuhe suddenly stopped her, "Hey, Man Man, what are you talking about buying or not? I really treat you as a friend, and it's being too formal for you to say that."

Zheng Xu: "That's right, Ah Yan, it's rare for Tiantian to come here, why don't you stay and play with us for a while? No matter how big the work is, it won't hurt to stay for a while."

“I don’t have a job.”

Zheng Xu opened his eyes wide, "Then you still want to leave?"

"I don't want to play."

He stamped out the cigarette.

Zheng Xu's hands froze in mid-air and he smiled awkwardly.

Pei Xiuhe chuckled, "Manman, since President Pei is not going, you can come and play with me for a while, and ask your friends to come as well. I will send a car to take you back later."

For a moment, Lin Man couldn't say no.

She looked at Pei Xiuhe and felt that this woman was really...

Even if Zheng Xu kills someone one day, she will help destroy the body.

Lin Man didn't want to make close friends with this kind of person, but today was Pei Xiuhe's wedding, and she suddenly barged in. She felt guilty towards Pei Xiuhe anyway, and she struggled in her heart.

Lin Man nodded reluctantly, "That's troublesome."

Zheng Xu kept blinking at Pei Xiuhe, not understanding what she was doing.

Gan Tian interrupted at this time, she pulled Pei Yan's sleeve coquettishly, "A Yan, come with us, it's a rare day that everyone is free, and today is Sister Xiu He's wedding banquet, she wants to play so much, let's just accompany her."

Pei Xiuhe glanced at Gan Tian without saying anything.

Zheng Xu no longer had any hope, and just kept looking at Gan Tian, ​​"Tiantian, forget it..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yan had already walked out, "Let's go."

"???"

Zheng Xu was dumbfounded.

Gan Tian glanced at Zheng Xu with pride, "A Yan didn't want to go, just because I didn't ask."

Is this possible? Zheng Xu scratched his head.

Pei Xiuhe glanced at Zheng Xu in a corner where no one could see her, and her eyes were full of disdain.

Zheng family villa.

Zheng Xu made a phone call, and soon someone brought a lot of cards. The clerk explained, but Pei Xiuhe looked a little disgusted. It was obvious that she didn't often come into contact with these things. "Are there no other ones?"

Pei Xiuhe felt it was a bit rude.

"Sister Pei, this is how cards are played abroad. You feel embarrassed because you are not used to it. I used to play with A Xu a lot, so I am used to it."

Gan Tian looked at Pei Xiuhe, eager to try this deck of cards.

Pei Xiuhe's expression changed, but she still nodded.

Lin Man leaned her head on the bed, watching quietly, taking in everyone's expressions. She probably knew why Pei Xiuhe wanted to change. Foreign cards were more open. Although she was Pei's concubine, she also grew up with a conservative education.

As for Gan Tian, ​​Lin Man looked at her. She was very close to Zheng Xu at this moment, and the two were discussing cards intensely. In the past, Zheng Xu often took Gan Tian to play, but Gan Tian always went for Pei Yan, and gave up after failing several times.

The clerk seemed to have noticed something and started to sell another deck of cards. "Why don't you take a look at the German deck? It's all about strategy. It's all about who has a more flexible brain. Everyone works on their own, and whoever collects enough props first wins."

Each for their own?

Lin Man nodded, "This is good."

Pei Xiuhe felt good about not having to team up with someone she hated. She glanced at Gan Tian calmly and asked abruptly, "I heard that Miss Gan has taken over the family business and is now the chairman of Longteng International?"

Gan Tian was about to be ousted, but who would have thought that at this critical moment, Jiang Xuzhi came back and stabilized the situation for her, so she has now completely taken over the control of Longteng International and has become the chairman.

"Yes." Gan Tian sat upright in the chair and chuckled. She looked humble, but her posture could not hide her pride. She looked down on people like Pei Xiuhe from the bottom of her heart, and she also felt that she was different from Pei Xiuhe.

She graduated from a prestigious university and was once a popular female star. Now she manages a company by herself. She is much better off than those women who rely on their father at home and rely on their husband after marriage.

"My brother thinks I have good abilities and has been training me. He hopes that I can help him manage the company as soon as possible so that he can let go and return to Italy as soon as possible."

Gan Tian's posture was dignified and elegant, but Pei Xiuhe smiled and said, "Really? If I remember correctly, Longteng International has had many problems recently. The capital chain is tight, the accounts are not in order, and many projects signed by Miss Gan have not yet made a profit, which has led to dissatisfaction among shareholders. They want to replace Miss Gan?"

Gan Tian's face changed, and just as she was about to speak, Pei Xiuhe continued, "I'm also very surprised. My father had a lot of business dealings with Jiang Xuzhi and Mr. Jiang in the past. As far as I know, Mr. Jiang doesn't have a sister as old as you."

"She's not even my cousin. I admire Miss Gan for this. Even though we are not related by blood, you can let President Jiang entrust such a large family business to you. This kind of trust is really not something that can be achieved by ordinary relationships."

Pei Xiuhe was almost saying it directly, Gan Tian and Jiang Xuzhi had an unknown relationship.

Gan Tian's expression changed instantly.

Lin Man listened and suddenly looked at Pei Yan. Gan Tian and Jiang Xuzhi met because of Gan Yuxi. When Pei Xiuhe said this, didn't she also include Gan Yuxi?

Will Pei Yan be satisfied when he hears that Gan Yuxi and Jiang Xuzhi have an unknown relationship?

It seemed that Lin Man’s gaze was too strong. Pei Yan, who was originally leaning on the chair, slowly opened his closed eyes.

Lin Man's eyes happened to meet.

"Okay, Xiu He, you've never managed a company before, so you don't know the twists and turns involved. Right now, most companies are in a recession, and bankruptcies are everywhere."

"Tiantian is very capable to have brought Longteng International to this position. As for her relationship with CEO Jiang, don't make irresponsible remarks if you don't know."

Zheng Xu spoke up to explain for Gan Tian. It was obvious that he knew about Gan Yuxi's situation, but he was also obviously biased towards Gan Tian.

Gan Tian looked at Zheng Xu with gratitude in her eyes.

Pei Xiuhe sneered in her heart, but she looked very agreeable, "Yeah, yeah, I don't understand. I have been helping at home for so many years since graduation, and I don't understand the situation outside. From this perspective, Miss Gan is really young and promising."

Seeing Pei Yan's gaze looking at her, Lin Man did not feel embarrassed and simply looked away.

The clerk took out a set of German cards and explained the rules from beginning to end. Lin Man could clearly feel that Pei Xiuhe did not understand.

Zheng Xu pulled Gan Tian aside and had a heated discussion with the shop assistant.

Finally, the clerk started dealing cards, and Gan Tian suggested, "It's meaningless just to win or lose, why not add some spice to it? Ah Yan, didn't you take a picture of a golden Buddha statue some time ago? I've always liked it, give it to us as a reward for the winner!"

Gan Tian's eyes were shining, and Lin Man could see that she was particularly eager for the Buddha statue.

She tilted her head to look at Pei Yan, but Pei Yan seemed not to hear her.

The scene turned cold for a while.

Zheng Xu quickly pulled Gan Tian back and said, "Good Tian Tian, ​​please let A Yan go. The Buddha statue was auctioned for 1 billion yuan. You're just using it as a prize. Isn't that too extravagant?"

"Xiu He, take out the bracelet I bought for you some time ago. Several ladies are here, so use this as a prize."

Pei Xiuhe nodded.

The Nanhai bracelet was bought by Zheng Xu and Pei Yan at the auction together.

Gan Tian also liked it and nodded.

Pei Xiuhe had a hand full of cards but didn't know how to play them. She didn't understand the rules and looked embarrassed.

She looked up at Zheng Xu, looking for help, but heard him ask in confusion: "Xiu He, what are you standing there for? It's your turn to play a card. Everyone is waiting."

Zheng Xu scratched his head.

Pei Xiuhe lost all mood when she heard this. She originally liked the bracelet very much and thought that even though it was used as a prize, she could always win it back. Now, Pei Xiuhe could only pick up a card at random and throw it out.

Seeing this, Gan Tian excitedly picked up the cards Pei Xiuhe had thrown away, "I merged the equipment!"

Lin Man glanced at Pei Xiuhe and saw that her face was getting worse and worse. She sighed inwardly. She really didn't understand the rules. German cards are like this. They require a combination of strategy and wisdom. People who play for the first time are easily confused.

You will get it just by playing a few more rounds.

Lin Man was wondering whether she should help Pei Xiuhe?

"A Yan, why don't we change the rules? Just having a prize is not enough. Why don't we just let the loser take the punishment? How about drawing a beard on his face or putting a note on his face?"

I am bored.

At least that’s what Lin Man thinks. She’s not a child anymore. Why would she stick notes and draw a beard? Could she still…

"I think it's okay." Lin Man's attitude suddenly changed, and she looked like she agreed. Gan Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, two votes in favor!"

"I agree too!" Zheng Xu raised his hand.

Gan Tian: "Then we have three votes. The minority shall obey the majority. It's settled. Don't play dirty later."

Pei Xiuhe looked on coldly without saying anything.

Pei Yan's gaze was directed towards Lin Man.

His dark and calm gaze swept over, and Lin Man looked back generously, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"You guys deal the cards first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Lin Man stood up, walked to the side, and when no one was paying attention, he placed his phone in the middle and started recording the video.

Originally she just wanted to play two rounds, but now she changed her mind.

Back to the seat, all the cards have been dealt.

Pei Xiuhe was about to play a card when Lin Man reminded her, "It's time to change equipment."

Pei Xiuhe seemed to have realized something. She gave up giving points to Gan Tian and started to change her equipment.

Gan Tian smiled coldly, "Man Man, this is not right? It's not fair to others if you remind us of this during a strategy game, and everyone is still on their own."

"Isn't it unfair? Didn't you and Zheng Xu do the same thing?"

When Pei Yan ignored Gan Tian, ​​she wanted to stick to Zheng Xu's arms.

Lin Man was too lazy to look at Gan Tian's expression. She used all the gold coins she had saved to exchange for a bunch of trouble-making props and threw them all to Pei Yan.

For a moment, the props he was about to collect were frozen or swallowed.

Only then did everyone realize that Pei Yan...almost won.

If it weren't for Lin Man's almost mutually destructive fighting style, Pei Yan would have won!

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man without even looking at the cards on the table.

Lin Man shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, "It's just a game, Mr. Pei won't bear a grudge against me, right?"

He raised his eyelids, his dark eyes met Lin Man's, and said in a low voice: "You pressed the corner of my clothes."

Lin Man lowered her head and followed his gaze, only to find that her hand had been pressing on the corner of Pei Yan's suit from the beginning. She coughed twice and quickly raised her arm.

Pei Xiuhe gradually understood and stopped giving points to Gan Tian.

So the current ranking is, Gan Tian first, Zheng Xu second, Pei Xiuhe third, and because Lin Man exchanged too much money to buy props for making trouble, she and Pei Yan became the last one.

Lin Man looked at the handful of cards in Pei Yan's hand and felt a little unsure.

Later on, Pei Xiuhe played better and better. She successfully hid the secret from everyone and was just one piece of equipment away from winning.

Just when Pei Xiuhe was about to pick up the card that Gan Tian dropped, Zheng Xu stopped her hand, "Xiuhe, don't pick up this card."

Zheng Xiuhe reacted strongly, "Why?"
