Chapter 379 Am I stupid?

Chapter 379 Am I stupid?

"I……"

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless after being asked by Li Chenxu. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she could only look at Li Chenxu with a pitiful expression and remain silent.

Fortunately, Li Chenxu knew when to stop. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, he immediately said, "Alright, I didn't mean to blame you. Just like you said, those were things from when you were little. You were just a child back then, what did you know? Besides, am I such a petty person? Why would I be so calculating about something that happened when you were little?"

Li Chenxu appeared extremely magnanimous, but Mu Xiaoyu desperately wanted to criticize what he said.

She didn't know if Li Chenxu really cared about what she had just said, but she knew very well that Li Chenxu was a very meticulous person when it came to these things.

He's acting so magnanimous now, isn't it just because his mother is in front of him?

Mu Xiaoyu mentally complained about Li Chenxu, but on the surface she still looked happy: "It's good that you're not angry, Brother Chenxu. But you said you wouldn't hold it against me. Mom heard everything, so you can't go back on your word."

"Of course I won't hold it against you."

Li Chenxu answered immediately. He always answered these kinds of questions very decisively. After all, he had plenty of ways to 'punish' Mu Xiaoyu. Even Mu Xiaoyu herself couldn't tell that it was punishment, so she naturally wasn't worried about anything.

The three of them ate lunch around 2 or 3 p.m. There were several maids who stayed behind to clean up, so after lunch, the family of three called another maid to join them for a game of mahjong.

Mahjong is an indispensable part of almost every family's Chinese New Year celebrations. In the past, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were not close, and the Li family's old house didn't have the usual festive atmosphere during the New Year, so Mu Xiaoyu almost never saw them playing mahjong.

So, in all the years she's been married to Li Chenxu, she has almost never seen him play mahjong.

Seeing Li Chenxu's skillful movements while playing mahjong, I was so surprised my eyes almost popped out.

When did you learn to play mahjong?

When Li Chenxu played mahjong, his posture was more relaxed than usual. At this moment, he rested his chin on one hand and fiddled with the mahjong tiles with the other. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Mu Xiaoyu with an extremely lazy gaze, saying, "I've been learning since I was little, but I've never had the chance to play mahjong with you. Xiaoyu, let me make this clear, today we're playing mahjong, just the few of us. I won't let you win, so be prepared."

Back when Mu Xiaoyu lived in the countryside, there were far more people playing mahjong during the Spring Festival than in the capital. Although Mu Xiaoyu didn't have much practical experience, she believed that her skills were definitely much better than Li Chenxu's.

So when she heard Li Chenxu's words, she immediately snorted disdainfully: "Then I can say it first, when I play mahjong, I don't let anyone win, so don't cry if you lose money."

Li Chenxu didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply gave Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful smile.

With Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's permission, the only maid was no longer as timid as usual. Although she was a little hesitant to play mahjong, it didn't affect Mu Xiaoyu and the others. Everyone was quite happy when they played mahjong.

Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were both very confident in their card skills. In their opinion, even if the elders were good at cards, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was definitely no match for them because of her age.

Who knew that after several rounds, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu didn't win even once; the winner was always Mu Xiaoyu's mother.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's expressions became very good. Before the fight started, the two were full of confidence, but after a few rounds, they were completely crushed.

Moreover, the current situation is quite clear: Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's card skills are nowhere near as good as Mu Xiaoyu's mother's.

They were all financially well-off people, so it wasn't that they cared about such a small amount of money. What they didn't expect was that Mu Xiaoyu's mother was such a good card player. They had even made some harsh remarks in front of her before, and now that they thought about it, Mu Xiaoyu herself felt a little embarrassed.

She covered her mouth and coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, then chuckled twice at her mother and said, "Mom, I had no idea you were so good at mahjong."

After spending a few days with Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was noticeably more relaxed than before. Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

“You know our family situation back then. There were hardly any people who played mahjong with us. The few who did play with us were even better at it than my mother. Actually, my mahjong skills were just so-so.”

If she's just average, then Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's card skills are probably too embarrassing to watch.

Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu exchanged a glance, and in the end, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh.

Thinking of Li Chenxu's domineering presence in the business world, almost omnipotent, and then thinking of how he's been humiliated in a mahjong game, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

As for herself, she admits that apart from being a little clever in some areas and being good at drawing, she doesn't seem to have any other strengths. She's not good at playing mahjong, but that doesn't matter.

Mu Xiaoyu's unrestrained laughter immediately attracted the attention of others. Even the maids in Li Chenxu's house looked at Mu Xiaoyu. Seeing Li Chenxu's indescribable expression, the others also tried to suppress their laughter.

"Oh, Brother Chenxu, don't take it to heart. After all, it's the New Year. I know you didn't really care about playing mahjong. Besides, Mom's here, so you wouldn't feel comfortable winning, would you?"

Mu Xiaoyu tried to "explain" for Li Chenxu, but it would have been better if she hadn't said anything at all, as it only made the suppressed laughter on the faces of the others even more obvious.

At first, Li Chenxu's expression was indescribable, but when she heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, she suddenly laughed: "You're right, but my card skills are indeed far inferior to Auntie's. I'm just curious, why didn't you inherit Auntie's excellent card skills, Xiaoyu?"

"I'm stupid."

Mu Xiaoyu was very frank at this moment, and was not afraid of Li Chenxu at all.

Anyway, if Li Chenxu punishes her for this, then Li Chenxu is being petty. She can use this incident to threaten Li Chenxu in the future. If she dares to tease her again, she will spread the word!
