After dinner, the guests didn't rush to leave. The Gu family arranged three tables of mahjong.
The younger generation occupied one table, while the other two were left to the elders for their leisure.
Despite his stiff and formal demeanor, Cheng Huai proved to be a seasoned mahjong player.
By the end of the afternoon, he had wiped out every bit of money in front of Chi Yu, Qi Chao, and Gu Qinnian.
Gu Qinnian teased with a hearty laugh, "The one who wins the money treats us to a meal. Brother Cheng, you can't shirk this!"
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Huai nodded earnestly. "I'm currently on annual leave and have plenty of time. Let's discuss a specific date—I'll take care of the arrangements."
His response instantly prompted Gu Qinnian to glance meaningfully at Qi Chao, a smirk playing on his lips. "Brother-in-law, what do you think? When would be a good time?"
