Chapter Ninety-Five: The Game of the Rich

  Why should she force others if they are unwilling?

  Lian Xian Ning heard the bright and clear voice, turned her head to glance at her, she might be because of running earlier, now her face was flushed red, a plain and simple face, sweet and charming, not the trendy sexy woman! Yet, as if there was a fatal attraction, making people unable to help but linger on her face for a moment, the clear and refreshing flavor, seemed like a deep temptation...

  Tong Mai was taken aback by his gaze and felt somewhat ill at ease, giving a slightly silly smile, "Hehe..."

  Being stared at by a handsome guy like this, how can I not be embarrassed?

  When she smiles, a pair of small dimples at the corners of her mouth are absolutely bright and charming.

  Lixian Ning seemed to have realized her mistake and hastily withdrew her gaze, "Sorry."

  "Sir, if you're unhappy, I'll tell you a way to relax and vent. Why don't you try playing some games and having some fun? It's guaranteed to make all your troubles disappear."

  This is her most relaxing and effective way. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten to know Xiaoa and the followers!

  Suddenly thought of Little A, Tong Mai immediately controlled her thoughts to prevent them from getting out of hand...

  Damn little A, narrow-minded little A, she "disappeared" for so many days and nothing happened! Is she thinking of breaking off the relationship? Screw her, break it off then! Who cares anyway?

  Yes, she doesn't care about anything! Whoever cares can go and care...

  Even so, there is still a little discomfort in the heart.

  At the mention of "games", Li Xian Ning became very sensitive, his gaze fell back on Tong Mai again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, did girls nowadays like playing games? Or...

  Perhaps it was because Lian Ning had been thinking about "Ji Mo" too much in her heart, so at this moment, as long as there was someone who had a little bit of similarity with "Ji Mo", she would involuntarily think of her.

  Tong Mai saw the astonishment in his eyes, "What's wrong? Of course! People like you who are rich, how can they possibly enjoy playing games?" Usually it's either bars or picking up girls...

  She could see Lian Xinnings wealth, so he now has this astonished expression, which is also reasonable.

  "Not... it's not what I meant to say, Miss. Do you like playing games?" He knew it was a bit abrupt to ask this way, but why did he feel a sense of familiarity when looking at her?

  Tong Mai hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to answer directly or be more reserved and not reveal all her shortcomings. After all, when girls play games, it's easy to let one's imagination run wild...

  "I'm...fine." A very tactful response.

  However, this answer did not lie to Lian Ning either. She was not obsessed with online games and only wanted to vent her emotions when she felt depressed or under great pressure.

  Li Xian Ning heard this, his heart inexplicably tightened, "You..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tong Mai, "Sir, I'll get off here, thank you." She thought it would be better to get off early, she didn't want to lose too much face in front of this man, although they had just met for a short while, she had already lost face several times in front of him!

  "Stop the car." Li Xian Ning instructed the driver to stop, not intending to ask any more questions. After all, how could it be such a coincidence? The person she met in reality would actually be Mai Zi? Now there are many girls who play games.

  Tong Mai got off the car and thanked him repeatedly, truly grateful from the bottom of her heart. If he had refused earlier on the bus, she might have been beaten until her face was bruised and swollen by now.

  So, in life, it's really better to mind your own business! Don't stick your head out unnecessarily, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourself. Once again, this has been proven true with iron certainty.

  Watching Li Xian Ning's car disappear from her line of sight, she always appears optimistic and cheerful in front of others. However, now that she is alone...she always feels like something is missing, empty and hollow, like a wandering soul, unable to find a point of support.

  "It's all out in the open now! Let's go to Elisa's house!"

  A somewhat dejected person muttered to himself, and also went to see what kind of place that bastard Huo Yize had arranged for the Elisa family...

  ****

  The shrill voice of Old Lady Huo came again from the snowy yard.

  "What a fool! You've been talking for half a day, what exactly have you said? Start from the beginning and tell me clearly!"

  Old Lady Huo brandished her cane with all her might, thumping the floorboards so hard they creaked in protest. Her anger was boiling over, and she spoke each word with extra emphasis.

  "Old madam, please forgive me... I've said all I should say! I really only know this much about that young lady. Normally, it's Young Master Huo who drives himself and doesn't let me follow him, at Elisa's home... This is also my first time seeing this young lady..."

  The driver was stunned by Mrs. Huo's momentum, scared to be sweating all over, and his words were extremely unsmooth. He shouldn't have said it, knowing that Young Master would not be happy if he did, but it was all forced out of him by Mrs. Huo.

  "Old lady, don't be angry! What's the point of knowing about that girl? That dead girl isn't worth putting your mind to, aren't you just asking for trouble?" The butler saw that Old Lady Ho had been interrogating the driver for a whole morning, and the driver was already drenched in sweat, his whole body trembling. If they continued like this, he feared the driver would be so scared that he'd pee his pants.

  However, the old lady was still spirited and showed no signs of fatigue.

  "Shut up! I'm speaking, do you need to mutter beside me?" He glared fiercely at the talkative butler, his expression stern and severe, his scorching gaze falling heavily on him, putting pressure on him.

  "I'm sorry... Madam, I was just concerned about you. That girl is so infuriating, the more you mention her, the more uncomfortable you'll feel, why bother tormenting yourself?" The butler replied with a quivering tone.

  "Huh?"

  Old Lady Huo's voice turned cold, dropping several degrees, from then on, even the butler didn't dare to speak.

  "It's precisely because I'm annoyed that I want to discipline her." As she said this, a wicked expression appeared on Old Lady Huo's face!

  The housekeeper heard this and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, and she also couldn't help but worry about the young girl. The old lady of their household was not someone to be trifled with when it came to bullying people!

  "I remember..." The driver suddenly spoke up.

  "Just one word, and Mrs. Huo's dignity was highlighted, comparable to that of the old Buddha."

  "It seems... she had an interview at Fumei before, but wasn't hired." The driver seemed to have seen Tong Mai in the company before, but didn't have a deep impression of her. After all, he saw countless people every day at Fumei.

  Old Lady Hu nodded as if she had expected it all along. It seemed that they indeed knew each other beforehand.

  How could a girl like that, with no manners, no culture, and no breeding, possibly get a job at the Richmei? Mrs. Huo curled her lip in disdain. "And what's more, what was her name again? Wait... you just said something about 'Alisha's Home'? I've never heard of such a place!"

  After listening for half a day, it turned out that she had never listened carefully all along.

  The driver almost got so angry with her that he nearly vomited blood on the spot...

  "It seems that Mr. Ding called her Miss Tong, and people who know her call her Xiao Mai, so it's probably Tong Xiaomai! Elisa's house is the place where the young master wants to develop a shopping center, but the people of Elisa's house are not willing to move away..."

  The driver can only repeat from head to toe again.

  "Alright! I think I understand now. You're saying that Master has arranged a new place for Elisa's family, right?" Old Lady Huo's gaze became sharp.

  "Yes! Please, old lady, you absolutely cannot tell young master that I said it! Otherwise, I will be...I will be..." He didn't dare say the consequences, but he was very clear that young master would not like people who talk too much around him. However, under Old Lady Huo's pressure, he couldn't hide either, so he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

  "Come on, take me to see... I want to meet this Tong Xiao Mai right away!"

  What a tacky name! It's awkward to pronounce.

  It's indeed a blood relation! She and Huo Yize both had the same reaction when mentioning "Tong Mai".

  "Ah... Madam, didn't the young master tell you not to go out? Your blood pressure is high, what if something happens? Madam, let's not go find that Tong Xiaomai, she'll still be rude to you and I'm afraid it will upset you!" The butler tried to dissuade Old Lady Huo from going to see Tong Xiaomai, anxiously advising her against it.

  "Master has passed on, but I'm asking you, is Master older? Or am I?"

  Old Lady Huo stood with her hands on her hips, looking very determined. What she wanted to do, who could stop her?

  "Of course it's you!"

  "What's the delay? Let's go!" Her voice was still so powerful and loud, not showing any signs of her advanced age, with a robust physique.

  The driver and butler both wiped their sweaty foreheads as they hastily went out to prepare the car.

  Even if they would be blamed by the young master, however, they had no choice but to obey Grandma Huo's orders...

  "Madam, this Tsoi Siu-mei may not be at Eliza's place now..." The driver hesitated.

  "What's wrong with not being at Elisa's house? Go on."

  Mrs. Huo sat in the back seat, with a very strong presence.

  The driver could hear Mrs. Huo's anger, "No... nothing."

  "Even if she's not at Elisa's house, you must find her for me! Today... I must see that dead girl!" She never cared whether others could do it or not, but only thought about what she wanted and had to get.

  The driver felt a wave of dizziness, and now he could only pray that Tong Mai was definitely there...

  Old Lady Hu's mood seemed to have improved greatly, thinking that she would soon see this little girl, her heart was eager...

  Tong Xiaomai! Tong Xiaomai... I'm here, where are you? A triumphant smile spread across Old Lady Huo's face...
