The skills of the owner of this private restaurant exceeded Jiang SE’s expectations. She had a light taste. The owner had added a little more cooking to the ingredients so that the freshness of the food was the main focus. There were no additional condiments. Thus, the skills of a chef were particularly important.

Jiang se and Chang Yuhu were in a good mood after the meal. When they were done chatting and left the restaurant, they watched Chang Yuhu leave. Jiang se looked at the time and saw that it was almost ten O ‘clock.

PEI Yi sent a few text messages after nine O ‘clock. She had muted her phone when she met with Chang Yuhu, so she did not hear them.

She dialed PEI Yi’s number and he picked up the phone almost as soon as it rang.

“You’re done?”

He had thought that it would be noisy when he was with nie dan and the others.

However, when he spoke, the surroundings were very quiet, as if there was no one else around.

“Wait for me at the door, I’ll be there soon.”

He said that he would be here soon, and indeed, he would be here soon. In the open-air parking lot next to the restaurant, an off-road vehicle made a turn and stopped in front of the restaurant. When the window was rolled down, PEI Yi’s face was revealed.

The car was air-conditioned, and there was a folded blanket on the passenger seat. Jiang se found it strange.

“Don’t you have an appointment?”

When she left in the afternoon, nie dan and the others called him a few times to remind him not to be late. She had originally planned not to disturb him after meeting Chang Yuhu, but he had been waiting in the parking lot early.

“I’ll leave after I’m done eating.”

He mumbled, “I had nothing to do anyway, so I went back for a while. I was waiting to pick you up.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on his side lit up. Nie Dan’s name was flashing on it.

PEI Yi picked up the call. After exchanging a few words with nie dan, he turned to Jiang se and asked, ”

“A ‘dan said that he’ll go over to visit at this time. Do you want to go?”

The exams were approaching, but Jiang se did not fall behind on her usual homework. Recently, she had been looking for the questions from previous years to do. Hence, she did not cram for the exams like the others.

There were two classes in the afternoon tomorrow. Since she had nothing to do, she agreed.

When they arrived at the court of pilgrimage, it was already half-past midnight. When PEI Yi brought Jiang se over, nie dan said in a strange tone, ”

“Oh, my brother Yi is here. I’ve heard that love can make people lose their way, so I always thought it was an artistic embellishment. Now I’ve realized that art comes from life.” Finally, he looked at Jiang se. sister-in-law is here too.

A table of Mahjong was set up in the hall. Halfway through the game, a pile of chips was placed in front of everyone. The moment PEI Yi arrived, the people in the court of pilgrimage had already received the news and came to see him.

His mother was the largest shareholder in the company, and the moment he arrived, the crowd treated him as if he was the Crown Prince. PEI Yi waved his hand impatiently and ordered the servants to prepare some food for him.

The food was delivered. While Jiang se went to the washroom, he took the opportunity to gobble down the food. When he saw his expression, he shook his head at qiuran.

“We should! Are you hungry? You didn’t come when I told you to come earlier. You learned from Wang Baochuan and waited for me at the humble abode. Now, you’re sneakily eating something. Brother Yi, are you out of your mind?”

As PEI Yi gobbled up his food, he stretched out his leg to kick Qiu ran. He handed Qiu Ji a glass and stopped the two of them from playing around.

“Brother Yi, Sister Feng Nan is calling me again.”

He looked at PEI Yi, pulled a chair over, and sat down in front of him.

“You have to give me a definite answer on how to deal with this.”

If it were in the past, the brothers would know which side they should side with without even thinking about it. Feng Nan was like PEI Yi’s lifeblood, and no one could touch him.

But now? Ever since he got together with Jiang se, it had been a long time since he mentioned Feng Nan. Whenever he talked about her, it was Sese. It was as if he had shifted all the attention he used on Feng Nan to Jiang se.

“Why did she call you?”

When PEI Yi mentioned Feng Nan, his tone was not as nervous as before, as if he was talking about a treasure. Xiang qiuji was stunned for a moment, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

“He asked where I was and wanted to come over to sit.”

Feng Nan had been calling him non-stop since eight o ‘clock that night. He wanted to meet him and seemed to have something to say.

Thinking back to how she had asked him not to make things difficult for Zhu pan during the day, he could not guess what she was going to say.

Xiang qiuji found it strange. Among the brothers, Feng Nan had always been the closest to PEI Yi. Even if there was something wrong, he should not have called him. Instead, he should have called PEI Yi. If there was anything, wouldn’t it be more convenient to ask PEI Yi for help?

“Did she tell you that she changed her phone number?”

“I didn’t ask,” PEI Yi took a sip of water and took a handkerchief from the waiter to wipe his mouth.

“If she wants to come over, then let her come.”

Come to think of it, ever since he discovered Jiang se, he had not tried to contact Feng Nan again. Other than the last time he accidentally saw Feng Nan and Zhao junhan at home, he had not seen ” Feng Nan ” in a long time. It would be good to meet her now so that he could get a better understanding of her.

He crossed his legs and the corners of his mouth were raised. When he mentioned Feng Nan, he did so casually, which was very different from his usual behavior.

This time, Xiang qiuji was not the only one who felt that something was amiss. Even nie dan and the others could tell. His contempt for Feng Nan was evident in his words. The brothers exchanged glances. It seemed like Jiang SE’s influence on him was greater than they had imagined.

The few of them had an idea of what was going on. Xiang qiuji went out to make a call. When Jiang se came out, they were all sitting on the sofa. PEI Yi waved at her and gestured for her to sit beside him.

“Do you want to play poker?”

PEI Yi spread his arms on the sofa and wrapped them around her. He lowered his head and asked her with a smile, ”

“How do we play?” Jiang se had never played this game before. She waved her hand and gestured for someone to bring her poker cards and chips.

“It’s very simple, I’ll teach you.”

Nie dan and the others also sat down and went to the server in the court to bring the poker cards over. There were many people present, so they chose the ‘three cards’ method. After drawing away the Kings and Kings of poker, there were 52 cards left. Each of them only had to play three cards.

The rules were simple. In the three cards, they were either a pair or a pair of leftover cards. They just had to compare the size and suit. It was very simple. It was psychological tactics.

After explaining the general rules, Cheng runing said,

it’s useless to say all this. Once I get started, I’ll just have to try a few more.

Jiang se nodded. When she picked up her cards, PEI Yi saw the numbers ‘two’,’ three’, and ‘five’ on her cards. His expression did not change.

“Do you want more chips?”

In fact, she did not really understand it yet. However, after hearing PEI Yi’s words, she also wanted to see how they were going to play it. Thus, she nodded.

There were red, blue, and yellow chips in front of PEI Yi. Each color was different, with a picture of a Bauhinia and different numbers. The three chips were printed with the Arabic numbers ‘10,30, and 50’ respectively. Once she nodded, PEI Yi asked her, ”

“Which one do you want to add?”
