Ye Qingqing's temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast. After lunch, she was no longer angry with Lu Mo and even reflected on her actions for three minutes.

She and Lu Qingquan were indeed too close in the past, so it's normal for Lu Mo to have some reservations. Time will tell, and Lu Mo will definitely feel her sincerity in the future and become devoted to her.

When Grandpa Lu and Lin Shufang learned of Ye Tong's Go talent, they were both very happy. Grandpa Lu, in particular, insisted that Ye Tong play a few games with her.

But he only managed to win the first game by luck. He lost the next three games in a row, and he lost them all.

The old man stared dumbfounded at the messy chessboard, somewhat incredulous, but the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

After a long pause, the old man slammed his hand on the table and burst into loud laughter, "Heroes emerge from among the young! We must nurture Xiao Tong well so he can bring glory to the country in the future! Hahahaha..."

Ye Qingqing repeated Gao Fei's words, and the old man nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense. There's a chess club in our compound. I'll take Xiaotong there to play often in the future. There are a few old guys there who are quite good."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."

Ye Qingqing was overjoyed. She no longer needed to worry about Ye Tong not having a teacher in the short term. She would inquire again after a while to see if there were any Go competitions in the city. She would take Xiao Tong to participate in any competitions that came up.

Winning is great, but losing is okay too; you can gain experience.

In the afternoon, Grandpa Lu took Xiaotong to the chess club to show off. Actually, it wasn't really a chess club, but a senior activity center. The retired old men and women in the compound would go there to sit when they had nothing to do.

Singing opera, playing the erhu, playing ping-pong, or playing chess and walking the birds—a day passes quickly like that.

In the evening, Grandpa Lu returned with Ye Tong, beaming with pride, humming a little tune, his hands behind his back, walking with an air of arrogance that seemed to say "I don't recognize anyone."

Ye Tong followed obediently behind, his eyes sparkling, his face thoughtful. He was recalling the few games of chess he had just played. Although it had only been a short day, Ye Tong's state of mind had undergone a qualitative change.

All he wants to do now is play Go. Even if no one plays with him, he will play blindfold Go in his mind, completely immersed in his own world, and has no reaction to what is happening in the outside world.

"Xiao Tong beat those old guys, hahaha..." The old man showed off as soon as he got home, clamoring for Lin Shufang to make some snacks to go with his drinks, saying he had to celebrate properly.

Any one of the guys Ye Tong defeated could easily crush him, leaving him utterly humiliated. Today, Xiao Tong has finally redeemed him!

"These guys weren't very good today. Let's go again tomorrow. Maybe Old Xu will be there. Old Xu is quite good and can keep Xiao Tong company for a few days."

Grandpa Lu had already made arrangements. He would have those old guys practice with Xiao Tong first, and once Xiao Tong had practiced enough, he would go outside to find opponents. Over time, Ye Tong's chess skills would improve.

If Ye Tong can become a Go master, his life will be taken care of by someone, and Qingqing's burden will be lighter. This is good for everyone.

Ye Qingqing didn't have dinner at the Lu family's house. She hurriedly returned home, guessing that Ye Lan had already finished get off work. She wondered how that bitch's first day at work went, and she couldn't wait to see Ye Lan's miserable state.
