Chapter 109: Very Skilled at Seduction

  "What? What did you say? Something about being a gentleman or not! I'm just a young lady." Tong Mai said with a hint of surprise.

  She grew up abroad from a young age and received a British education, so she's not very familiar with these tongue-twisting classical Chinese phrases...

  Old Lady Hu glared at her with a stupid expression, her face full of sarcasm. "Illiterate!" The two words slipped out of Old Lady Hu's lips with disdain.

  "What!" Surprised and annoyed!

  Damn it, she's actually illiterate!

  Don't get angry! Don't get angry! How could this small insult easily provoke her anger? She must calm down.

  "Old lady, you really said it right, I'm indeed illiterate, and I don't understand what you mean by 'true gentleman', but I can guarantee that you will win against Huo Yize..." Tong Mai raised an eyebrow with a hint of provocation.

  Huo Yize snorted disdainfully, what could she rely on? Let her blow it!

  "Who are you?" Old Lady Huo asked with extreme skepticism, her eyes darting back and forth as she looked at her, filled with suspicion.

  "Mm-hmm." Tong Mai nodded firmly, "I'm telling you, I'm a master in the game!" Cough cough, this so-called master... although it's a bit exaggerated, but she's not bad either!

  Mentioning the game, Huo Yize's face changed from disdain to coldness in an instant. Those who followed Xiaoa, Xiaoa's followers... These people made Huo Yize very unhappy and uncomfortable.

  "Is that so? You're a gaming expert? Doesn't look like it! Tong Xiaomai..." Old Lady Huo's face was filled with disdain, and even more disdain...

  "Don't believe me? Let me try then! I can definitely beat Huo Yize!" Tong Mai clenched her fists, a determined look on her face, as if she was ready to fight to the death. She noticed that Old Lady Huo's expression still hadn't changed, showing her distrust. "Old lady, you're already about to lose to Huo Yize anyway... can't you just trust me this once? I promise I'll make you win."

  Xiao Mai patted her chest to guarantee that she would make eyes at Old Lady Huo and show off her charm, as the elderly and children are all to be coaxed! From now on, she planned to change her tactics and use "sugar-coated cannonballs" to "pamper" Old Lady Huo...

  "Huo Yize, Huo Yize... You dead girl, who do you think you're calling out to? Are you familiar with him? No, what's the relationship between you and our little Zhe?! What right do you have to call him like that!" Old Lady Huo's shouting grew louder, her excitement causing her spittle to start flying everywhere.

  "My name sounds good and has a lot of meaning... so, Tong Xiaomai likes to call me that way. She just likes it, but she should pay attention to her own identity!" Huo Yize said calmly, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes as before. Then, he elegantly shifted his gaze to Old Lady Huo's face, "Grandma, don't worry, I have no relationship with her."

  Apart from sleeping together countless times and being intimate numerous times, they didn't have any real relationship.

  Tong Xiaomai

  Damn it, he even learned his grandmother's nickname for her, calling her Tong Xiaomai? It sounds terrible! Now I want to distance myself from her haha!

  Damn it! When you were on top of her, why didn't you say it was no big deal?

  "Oh... old lady, sorry! I shouldn't have called him that, I should have called him Young Master instead!" Tong Mai suddenly became serious and put on a pitiful expression.

  "Hmph... This is more like it! No one is allowed to be impudent in our Huo family! Don't you know that?" Old Lady Huo said, gesticulating as if she were a government official giving a speech.

  Upon hearing this, Tong Mai nodded in agreement with her statement, "Old Lady, you're right, it should be called Young Master, Huo Young Master... However, Old Lady, you should have time to watch TV dramas and such, right? Usually in these situations, the so-called Young Master and the so-called female servant... will more or less happen to have some interesting things happen between them, and then... how to put it... this ending, usually ends up being very melodramatic. So, Huo Old Lady, you can think about it yourself."

  This shouldn't be considered as angering her, should it?

  She is now quite modest in both attitude and language.

  "What...what are you talking about? Tong Xiaomai, tell me clearly!" Old Lady Huo seemed to be in a daze, as if she was trying to solve a riddle, her head completely muddled for the time being.

  "It's nothing! Old lady, you're so clever, you must understand. Let's play chess! I'll definitely help you win and make a good impression."

  Tong Mai instinctively ignored her problem, rolled up her sleeves, and sat down with a big swing, the ultra-short skirt flipping to the base of her thighs... She didn't care either, focusing all her attention on the chessboard in front of her.

  Huo Yize's face was full of disdain, his silent expression still exuding the oppressive aura he carried with him.

  Tong Mai doesn't care if it's oppressive or not...

  Pinching the jumping thing in his hand, he jumped very "actively" into Huo Yize's "home".

  Cut...

  Don't underestimate her! She's actually very capable. Don't think she can't do anything, underestimating her will make you all shocked...

  "How's it going? Old lady, I'm still doing all right, huh!" She said with a smirk.

  Old Lady Hu's eyes widened as she stared at her jumping checkers, which quickly jumped to Ho Yize's side. Moreover, she always seemed very pleased with herself for blocking his way, forcing Ho Yize to take several steps before he could reach Tong Mai's "home".

  This way, Tong Mai can be said to have turned the tide for Old Lady Huo's earlier miserable situation, but Old Lady Huo's skills are really too bad! Losing too much in the beginning, it's impossible to surpass Huo Yize by a large margin.

  "Oh... Tong Xiaomai... Although you're illiterate, it turns out you have a good hand at playing Go."

  Although Old Lady Hu's words were still unpleasant to hear, at least she had a slightly different attitude towards Tong Mai at this moment. She even nudged Tong Mai with her shoulder, an action that seemed provocative at first glance but actually showed that she was willing to get close to him.

  "Hehe...... Hehe...... Too kind, too kind!" Tong Mai laughed with her mouth wide open, she loved hearing such praising words.

  "Stinky girl, give you a little sunshine and you're radiant! These crooked ways, messy things you're best at! Books are not read properly... During class, did you go to sleep or talk about love with boys? Useless dead girl."

  Even if Tong Mai helped her turn things around, she couldn't help but want to tease her a bit.

  "Wrong! I went to work during class!" Dating, sleeping... she can't afford such luxury.

  Tong Mai replied fluently, there's nothing to hide! If she hadn't skipped a lot of classes and taken on several part-time jobs during her university days, how could she have afforded the expensive tuition fees?

  Huo Yize paused, his hand hovering over the chess piece. He could imagine Tong Mai's miserable life in London. His heart skipped a beat at the thought, but after a moment, he continued playing...

  On the surface, he looked very serious, but in fact, his mind had already wandered off, with one ear perked up, listening to her conversation with Old Lady Huo.

  "Working? Tong Xiaomai, what kind of job did you do? Tell me, is it also working as a maid in someone else's home and seducing the young master?"

  Old Lady Huo was certainly not a pushover, and no one would dare not counterattack her.

  "This, huh..." Tong Mai deliberately put on a thoughtful look, she knew that Old Lady Huo was intentionally being sarcastic towards her, no big deal! She didn't care at all! Whether it's called seduction or temptation... all of it just stops at the ears, no need to take it to heart.

  Tong Mai also stared at the chess pieces like Huo Yize, but she didn't look serious. "Old lady, your question is a bit deep, I need to think about it carefully and recall whether I have ever seduced someone..."

  Didn't she flirt with He Yize once?

  Thinking of this... Tong Mai's mind wandered far away for a moment... and the chess pieces also moved randomly.

  "Ah... no! Wrong! I made a mistake... I messed up this move of Huo Yize, I need to take it back." Tong Mai hastily stopped him.

  "You don't have a chance to come back! I've already won."

  He still had a confident expression, everything, big or small, was under his control.

  "Ah…… how is this possible? I was clearly about to catch up with you! You must have cheated! Cheated!" Tong Mai's voice started shouting, and she also tried to move the chess piece back to the position where she was about to win earlier.

  Her behavior is very childish, but she has already understood in her heart that she has lost! She really lost.

  "Tong Xiaomai... you damned girl, didn't you say you'd definitely help me win? You were just pounding your chest and saying you'd definitely make me win, weren't you? What about now? What's happened now? Lying little wretch! Swindler! If I had gone up myself earlier, I wouldn't have lost to Xiaoyue."

  Old Lady Huo crossed her arms over her chest, with a look of disdain on her face. "I knew it, that stinky little girl, how could she possibly win against our Xiao Ze! Our Xiao Ze is the greatest under heaven! No one can beat him! Who do you think you are..."

  My goodness! This old lady He is quite cunning, isn't she turning her face a bit too quickly?

  She pursed her lips tightly, suppressing the current anger.

  She really has nothing to say, does she? What else can she say? Losing is losing, it's a fact.

  At this moment, Tong Mai couldn't help but feel a little discouraged!

  Alas...

  She's the most unfortunate one! Just now it was clearly Old Lady Huo who disrupted her thoughts, causing her to lose at the most critical moment...

  Huoyi Ze leaned in close to Tong Mai's ear, "Tong Xiao Mai, how are you so good at playing chess? I think... you're only good at seducing men."
