Chapter 554 Encounter
The old man likes to play Go very much. Whenever there are guests, he will invite them to play Go together.
When Xu Zhuo heard Gu Ruochu say that he knew a little, he was a little surprised: "Didn't you not know how to do it before? Who taught you?"
Gu Ruchu smiled, and the man's face appeared in her mind.
She really didn't know how to play chess, but after spending a long time with Ye Mubai, she was influenced by him.
The old man and the child were playing chess enthusiastically, and Gu Ruchu no longer felt the embarrassment he had when he first arrived.
Outside, the doorbell rang. Zhang Xiaomei hurried to open the door. When she saw the man behind Lao Xu, she was stunned for half a second, then her brows lit up with joy. She quickly greeted him, "Mr. Ye, you're here!"
In the past, Ye Mubai would come to visit Old Xu's house from time to time and play chess with the old man, but he hasn't been here for more than a year. It was a bit surprising to see him today.
Ye Mubai nodded coldly.
Old Xu said, "Is that brat from Xiaozhuo back?"
"Here you are, bringing your girlfriend to say hello to Grandpa?"
Hearing this, Old Xu couldn't believe his ears: "Did you really bring it?"
"Why would I lie to you? I really brought her here, and she's so cute. It would be great if she could really be my daughter-in-law!"
Zhang Xiaomei said this, then she realized that there were other guests at home, so she quickly greeted Ye Mubai: "Mr. Ye, please take a seat first!"
Ye Mubai nodded.
Old Xu smiled and said, "I'll go call that brat from the small table over here!"
"No need, I'd better go over and see the old man!"
Old Xu nodded and took Ye Mubai to the old man's room.
At this moment, Gu Ruochu was still concentrating on how to keep himself handsome. Xu Zhuo heard the knock on the door and went to open it. When he saw Ye Mubai, he said excitedly, "Uncle Ye, long time no see!"
Before Ye Mubai could speak, Lao Xu said with a smile: "Did you bring your girlfriend?"
Xu Zhuo nodded shyly: "Is she still my girlfriend?"
"Then you have to work harder!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ye Mubai said calmly: "At 22 years old, it's time to have a girlfriend!"
The girl, who was originally holding the chess piece and preparing to play, froze when she heard the familiar voice. She lost her grip on the cannon and it fell directly onto the chessboard.
She didn't dare turn around and just sat there stiffly.
The old man noticed something was wrong with the girl, so he said with some concern: "Ruchu girl, are you okay? You don't look very well!"
Ye Mubai, who was standing outside, heard the old man's words and unconsciously looked behind the screen.
Xu Zhuo followed Ye Mubai's gaze and said awkwardly, "She and Grandpa are playing chess?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mubai strode towards the screen.
When Gu Ruchu heard the footsteps approaching from far away, her face turned pale. She kept comforting herself in her heart that it was impossible, it was just a coincidence, there were so many people in the world with the same voice.
Thinking of this, the girl seemed to feel better. However, before her nervousness could ease, she saw the old man stand up with a smile on his face, walk behind her, and say with a smile: "Mu Bai, you finally come to see me, an old man."
Ye Mubai reached out and took the old man's hand, and said lightly: "I've been too busy with work recently!"
In one word, Gu Ruochu knew that he was finished.
Then Ye Mubai's eyes fell on the girl sitting on the tatami, and he casually asked, "Who is this?"
"The girlfriend of this little table!" the old man said excitedly.
Xu Zhuo, who was standing by, quickly explained, "It's not done yet. We're just friends!"
As he spoke, he quickly reached out and patted Gu Ruochu's shoulder: "Achu, say hello! This is Uncle Ye,"
Gu Ruchu stood up, turned and looked at Ye Mubai, lowered his eyes and dared not speak.
Ye Mubai looked at her carefully without saying a word. When Old Xu saw that it was Gu Ruchu, he was completely stunned.
What the hell is going on? My daughter-in-law is actually my boss’s mistress?
He quickly looked at Ye Mubai, only to see that Ye Mubai's expression was indifferent, without any fluctuation. Ye Mubai didn't speak, so he didn't dare to speak either. He could only observe Ye Mubai's expression secretly.
"Hello!" Ye Mubai spoke lightly.
After saying that, he reached out his hand towards Gu Ruchu. Gu Ruchu was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xu Zhuo on the side quickly chimed in: "She's quite shy, Uncle Ye, please don't mind!"
Ye Mubai glanced at the girl and said meaningfully, "Really?"
But the hand he had extended showed no sign of being retracted, so Gu Ruchu had no choice but to bite the bullet and reach out to shake his hand: "Hello... Hello!"
She thought Ye Mubai would give her the cold shoulder and humiliate her on the spot, but no, Ye Mubai did nothing. Even the handshake was just a light touch before letting go.
Xu Zhuo took the girl out, and Ye Mubai played chess with the old man. Old Xu wanted to go out and say something, but Ye Mubai stopped him.
He also knew to give up and stay here to keep her company.
After coming out of the room, Gu Ruchu was still very nervous, especially because of Ye Mubai's behavior just now, which made her a little unable to guess what he was thinking.
"Xu Zhuo, I want to go home!" After saying that, she took out the gift she bought for Xu Zhuo from her bag and handed it to him: "Happy birthday!"
Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then took it with a grin: "Thank you! Can I open it now?"
Obviously, he automatically ignored the girl's words about leaving.
