Chapter 223 Playing Pigs to Eat Tigers

Mr. Fu suddenly became excited and said, “Could it be Shen Qiuming, Mr. Shen?”

Su Qian said: "Yes, do you know my grandfather?"

Mr. Fu said excitedly: "No wonder!"

He said, "You may not know this, but Mr. Shen is a master! Anyone who studies Go knows him."

Who would have thought that Su Qian studied under Shen Qiuming?

No wonder, there's no way he can win!

Su Qian said, "I didn't know my grandpa was so good. I thought he was just an old man who was good at chess."

Mr. Fu was amused by Su Qian. He said, "If Mr. Shen knew you said that about him, he wouldn't know what to think."

Su Qian said, "That's how my grandfather described himself. He said he was just an old man who liked to play chess in his spare time. He had to go to school during the week, so he could only play chess in his free time."

"Sure enough, sometimes people still need some talent." Mr. Fu sighed.

Fu Yan looked at Su Qian with disdain and whispered to Su Manli, "Mommy, I think Su Qian has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. She said it on purpose at this time."

Su Manli nodded and said, "I always feel that she is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

Mr. Fu didn't care what other people thought, but the more he looked at his granddaughter-in-law Su Qian, the more he liked her.

Fu Xiao looked at Su Qian and said, "How about you play a game with me?"

Su Qian smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing to me?"

Fu Xiao laughed and said, "It's just a game of chess. You don't have to die if you lose, so why are you afraid?"

Before, everyone thought that Fu Xiao refused to play chess with Su Qian because he didn’t want to embarrass himself by losing to Su Qian in front of everyone.

Now, Fu Xiao finally broke the rumors himself.

Watching Mr. Fu and Su Qian play chess was already exciting enough, but it was their first time watching Su Qian and Fu Xiao play chess. They were curious and felt it was a novelty.

Fu Zhenguo said to Cheng Zhilan, "Do you think my daughter-in-law will win or my son will win?"

Cheng Zhilan smiled and said, "Is there any difference? We are all family."

Fu Zhenguo said, "That's right. I was going to make a bet with you. If I win, you give me a fishing rod. If you win, I'll give you the bag you want most."

Originally, Cheng Zhilan didn't want to make a bet with Fu Zhenguo, but the conditions proposed by Fu Zhenguo were quite tempting.

She said, "Okay, I'll bet with you that Kanan will win."

Fu Zhenguo said, "Okay, I'll bet on Fu Xiao."

Mr. Fu suddenly intervened and said, "Then I'll make a bet too. I'm betting on Su Qian."

"Dad, if you want to gamble, you have to raise the stakes."

Mr. Fu said, "Look at how promising you are. How could I possibly be without your fishing rod? I'm just afraid you can't afford to lose."

"What can I not afford to lose?" Fu Zhenguo said.

Mr. Fu said, "Okay, I want the white marble chessboard in your study."

Fu Zhenguo finally reacted, "Dad, are you waiting for me here?"

"No way? Didn't you say you would definitely win?" said Mr. Fu.

Fu Zhenguo was almost driven into autism by this.

While setting up the chess pieces, Su Qian was thinking that Fu Xiao's love of digging holes was hereditary.

In addition to Fu Zhenguo and his friends, others were also betting.

Some people think Fu Xiao will win, like Fu Jingfeng, Fu Hongtian, and Fu Jie. The men all consciously believe that Fu Xiao will win.

The women thought Su Qian would win.

Suddenly the family was divided into two camps.

Su Qian whispered to Fu Xiao, "Oh, the pressure is a bit great."

Fu Xiao curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about them, let's play our own game."

"Um."

Fu Hongtian said: "Don't discuss it secretly. We in the Fu family are all upright and honest people."

Fu Jingfeng nodded: "That's right."

I don’t usually see them so united, but today they are surprisingly united.

When Su Qian played chess with Fu Xiao, she felt pressure for the first time.

When she played chess with her grandfather in the past, she felt very relaxed, as if she was just having fun, because most of the time, her grandfather was guiding her.

But when she played chess with Fu Xiao, she felt oppressed.

They seemed to be fighting a war without the smoke of gunpowder. She was a female general who was as brave as any man, while Fu Xiao was a general of equal strength and majesty.

The two of them fought back and forth, neither of them was better.

Later on, they made every move very carefully, because they might lose if they were not careful.

The people watching the battle on the sidelines didn't dare to breathe, fearing that a small movement on their part would affect the outcome.

It was the first time for them to feel as if they were watching someone leading two teams of soldiers in a war while watching chess, and the fighting on the battlefield made them terrified.

"General." Su Qian said.

Fu Xiao frowned. He had made a wrong move out of haste.

"Wait a moment……"

Su Qian raised her hand to block Fu Xiao's move to regret his move and said, "If you don't regret your move, you lose."

Fu Xiao smiled awkwardly. He never expected that one day he would actually lose the game.

Seeing that Fu Xiao lost, Fu Hongtian and Fu Jingfeng both looked incredulous.

"Fu Xiao, did you give up the game on purpose?" Fu Hongtian said.

Fu Xiao said, "Second Uncle, are you doubting Su Qian's ability?"

"Well... I didn't mean that, it's just..." Fu Hongtian frowned slightly. He was anxious just now, and no one else spoke.

"No, that's not what I meant. Su Qian is really amazing." Fu Hongtian said.

Su Qian said: "No, I just won by luck. If I were to win again, I might not win."

Everyone thought Su Qian was being modest, but only Su Qian knew that Fu Xiao's strength was not inferior to hers. She was just being more calm because she noticed that Fu Xiao started to get anxious later on.

Fu Xiao said, "How about another round?"

"Still coming?" Fu Zhenguo said, "I'm almost broke."

Cheng Zhilan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's play another round."

Mr. Fu also said enthusiastically: "Don't forget my chessboard."

Fu Zhenguo couldn't do it, so he had to run away quickly.

Even though they had left, Su Qian and Fu Xiao were still playing chess very seriously.

Just as Su Qian said, there are wins and losses, and Su Qian does not win every time.

However, the subsequent results are no longer important to others.

"Grandpa is asleep." Su Qian pointed at Grandpa Fu who was dozing off beside her.

Fu Xiao looked at the dozing old man Fu. He suddenly felt playful and called out to him, "Grandpa."

"Ah?! It's dawn?" Mr. Fu said in a daze.

Su Qian and Fu Xiao both laughed: "Grandpa, go back to your room and sleep. You are so sleepy!"

Mr. Fu said, "I'm not sleepy, continue."
