Song Qingyou rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

As Grandpa Xu cracked his whip, Song Qingyou spoke softly, "Grandpa Xu, do you still remember Uncle Jiang Chu?"

"Jiang Chu? Jiang Xun's father?" Old Master Xu's attention was indeed diverted: "Isn't he king of Binhai? What happened?"

Song Qingyou said, "That's right. He once presented me with a chess game that was full of dangers and unpredictable twists and turns. It is said that many masters would hesitate to play it. He sent me this chess game before the New Year, but I am not good enough to find a way to break it after several months."

She paused for a moment and then smiled and said, "Actually, bringing tea tonight was just an excuse; my real intention is to discuss this chess game with Grandpa Xu."

Grandpa Xu gave Song Qingyou a meaningful look.

His own grandson really knows how to find help.

He knew that the more than ten million yuan worth of tea hadn't been acquired for nothing.

Besides, Xu Li loves playing chess, and he had a falling out with Jiang Chu years ago. If he could win this game...

Song Qingyou cleared her throat and continued, "Grandpa Xu, since Young Master Xu is so unfilial, why don't we just let him kneel here and talk about it after we finish our game of chess?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu lost all hesitation and turned to Xu Zezhan, scolding, "You kneel here right now, and you're not allowed to get up unless I tell you to!"

Xu Zezhan nodded without any objection: "Understood, Grandpa."

Grandpa Xu flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, turned around and took Song Qingyou's hand, "Let's go, my good girl."

Song Qingyou was taken aback; this was the first time someone had called her that.

She nodded and followed Grandpa Xu upstairs to the study.

As soon as the study door closed, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Xu Zezhan: "You're going to make me so angry, you'll lose your mother if you do!"

Xu Zezhan pursed his thin lips, his expression inscrutable: "Mom, I remember when I was little you told me that you hoped I would be able to pursue what I like in the future."

Qin Yi almost choked: "But I didn't ask you to pursue men! Isn't this just nonsense?"

Qin Yi, who was still about to teach him a lesson, remembered that there was another person in the living room. She coughed a few times and said, "Wen Zhou, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Fu Wenzhou's lips curled slightly. "What kind of talk is that, Aunt Qin? Haven't I seen enough jokes about Xu Zezhan? One more won't make a difference."

Qin Yi: "...Hehe, you're right."

She gave a dry laugh, glanced back at her son, and her anger flared up again, but she was more worried than anything else.

She knew her son's temperament all too well; he had completely inherited his grandfather's stubborn personality, and it was probably impossible to get him to get married and have children.

Qin Yi sighed, "Ze Zhan, you've been independent since you were little, and you like to make your own decisions. Your grandfather and I don't interfere with you too much. Your liking for men is also related to our indulgence. In the end, we are also at fault."

Xu Zezhan's Adam's apple bobbed: "Mom, please don't say that."

Qin Yi said, "Since you've made your decision, Mom won't say anything more. You chose this path yourself, so you have to bear the hardships yourself. As your mother, I can't control you anymore."

Xu Zezhan remained silent; he knew that his mother had relented.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Mom."

Qin Yi snorted, "Don't be too happy yet. Let's get past your grandfather first."

Xu Zezhan smiled for the first time that evening: "Okay."

After Qin Yi left, Fu Wenzhou slowly walked up to Xu Zezhan, his eyes slanted upwards, and he smiled roguishly: "Tsk, I have to take a picture and post it on my WeChat Moments."

Xu Zezhan gave a forced smile: "Fu Wenzhou, are you ever going to stop?"

Fu Wenzhou took out his phone and took pictures of Xu Zezhan from every angle, while saying in a cheeky tone, "Aren't you done yet? You used this self-inflicted injury ruse just to get Gu Bai to see it, right? If I don't help you, then your self-inflicted injury ruse will have been for nothing."

Xu Zezhan fell silent again, then scoffed after a while: "Even you figured it out, Gu Bai probably figured it out too."

In the end, his self-inflicted injury scheme was all for naught.

Fu Wenzhou kicked him, his voice lazy and casual: "Can't you speak properly?"

After a long pause, Xu Zezhan finally asked, "Qing... can my sister-in-law persuade my grandfather?"

Fu Wenzhou thought for a moment: "Have you offended her before?"

Xu Zezhan shook his head: "No, I already explained it to Xu Qingran at the bar before."

Fu Wenzhou got angry when he heard him mention the bar incident and kicked him hard again.

Anger flickered across Xu Zezhan's face: "Are you fucking never going to stop?!"

Fu Wenzhou looked displeased and coldly glanced at Xu Zezhan: "In the future, do less immoral things. In the end, you'll still have to rely on my wife to help you."

Xu Zezhan was speechless: "That was Shen Guannan's idea, what does it have to do with me? Besides, this happened so long ago, can you please stop bringing up such old and trivial matters!"

Fu Wenzhou snorted coldly, sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and acted like a big shot. "I advise you to be polite to me, or I'll have my wife add fuel to the fire."

Xu Zezhan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm himself down: "Yes, it was my fault, I'm sorry."

Fu Wenzhou was very satisfied: "Good attitude."

Looking at his smug expression, Xu Zezhan really wanted to twist his head off.

If it weren't for Song Qingyou...

Xu Zezhan held back, forcing a smile, but his words came out through gritted teeth: "Fu Wenzhou, you'd better not ever ask me for anything."

Fu Wenzhou clicked his tongue: "Don't worry about that, I have Youyou, why would I need to ask you bunch of trash for help?"

Xu Zezhan: "Yes, yes, your wife is the best, your wife is the most amazing."
