Su Little Six pounded on his chest. Of course, I have enough. This is my house. Its a guarantee that I can pay for however much I lose.

The corners of Yan Qingsis mouth twitched. He sounded arrogant when he said that, butpaying for however much he lost. Why did it sound so strange?

I cant play with you for too long. I have another shoot tomorrow.

Dont worry. Well play for as long as we can. Arent you here as a guest appearance this time? You dont have too big of a role, right?

Yan Qingsi nodded her head. Mmhmm. This shoot has been pretty stress-free so far.

The third uncles wife flurried over when she heard the word mahjong. Little Six keeps saying that youre an excellent player, she said, I have to see it for myself today.

Mom, you cant even beat me, Su Little Six said when he heard that, and you want to play with Auntie. Its enough that theres one loser in the family.

The third uncles wife took a chopstick and whacked Su Little Sixs head. What are you talking about? I let you win before. Did you know that? Tell Little Four to come back tomorrow. The two of you better go and get matchmade.

Su Little Six shrank instantly. All right, all right he quickly said, trying to appease her. Mom, eat, eat

Yue Tingfeng de-shelled a crab for Yan Qingsi. The crabs are still pretty big at this time of the year. One should be enough for you. Its too cooling for your body.

Yan Qingsi bobbed her head. Okay.

The way the Su family members interacted with each other was so different from what she had imagined. There was a very familial atmosphere in the air, and there were not many strict rules in place. There was also a feeling of warmth that radiated from them. No wonder Mrs. Yue had grown up into such an innocent character.

Su Little Six was so eager that he told someone to set up the mahjong table.

Auntie, come, come Take a seat.

After Yan Qingsi sat down, Su Little Six and his mother quickly snatched up the seats. Brother, come on, Su Little Six said, youre the best mahjong player in our family. Come and play with us.

Su Zhen had not wanted to play, but he was dragged to take a seat.

A horde of people clustered around them as they played. Even Yue Tingfeng and his three uncles watched from the side.

The third uncle stood behind his wife. Jeez. Why did you throw the bamboo out he could not help but to voice out after she lost the first round. Youre just donating your tiles now.

His wife glared at him. Why dont you play if youre so good at it Youre no match even for me.

Mrs. Yue was cracking melon seeds as she sat behind Yan Qingsi. Hah! Im ready to fill my pockets today. Qingsi, all of them are rich. No need to hold back

Then can I really play my heart out? Yan Qingsi said, grinning.

Just play. They have money anyway.

Grandpa Su watched them play energetically. Let them have fun at creating ruckus then, he said with a smile.

Then he angled his body away slightly, toward his eldest son. My soncome with me, he said. I want to talk to you about something.

They went into the study. Yes, Dad? the eldest son asked.

Grandpa Su took the photograph out. This is a picture of your mom and Aunty Peiwan, taken decades ago when they were young. Do you see anything strange?

The eldest son studied the photograph and immediately thought of Yan Qingsis face. Surprise filled him. Thisthis How could they look so similar?

Grandpa Su nodded. Thats right. They look too similar. Its not just Yan Qingsi and Peiwan who look similar though. Your sister said that she has seen Yan Qingsis mother, and she looks very much alike with Peiwan. Your mother and I have been mulling over this for days now.

The eldest sons expression turned somber. Is it a coincidence? he asked.

Ive investigated Yan Qingsis background, he continued, Even thoughher slate isnt completely clear, shes not an open book either but Im very clear about her family background. Her parents were from a village near Luo city. Her father had married her mother in the village a long time ago.
