Huang Feiyan shook her head; she didn't want to sit.
Seeing this, Su Xiao did not insist and turned to look at the chessboard.
The game was fierce, and it seemed that the two players were evenly matched.
After the game was over, Grandpa Gu had a slight advantage, and he was so happy that he chuckled and said, "Oh, I knew I was going to win today."
The old man opposite him was unconvinced and mocked, "You only win two out of ten games, what's there to be proud of?"
"Look at what you're saying," Old Master Gu said with a smile, pointing to the chessboard. "Want to play again?"
The old man opposite shook his head, "You have guests today, so I won't disturb you."
With that, he stood up and said to the people around him, "Everyone can leave now."
Seeing that there was nothing more to see, everyone dispersed.
It was immediately clear that only a few of them remained in the pavilion.
"Grandpa Gu, how have you been lately? Shall I take your pulse?" As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Su Xiao had developed the habit of taking the pulse of any acquaintance she met whenever she asked about their health.
"Great!" Old Master Gu couldn't have been happier.
Grandpa Gu's health is quite good. As for some of his old ailments, Su Xiao also brought out her best-kept secret and gave him a bunch of ointments for treating gout.
"Keep applying the plasters. I'll make some more when I get back and bring them to you next time." Su Xiao withdrew her hand, quite satisfied with Grandpa Gu's health during this period.
Yes, Su Xiao came here today specifically to meet with Grandpa Gu and have him checked out.
As for why I didn't go home... well...
She had learned from Gu Tingjiang that Su Peipei was in Kyoto. To avoid arguing with the two of them whenever they met, she avoided them for the time being.
It's not that I'm afraid of her, I just don't want to see her.
She had heard the story of Su Peipei's reunion with her relatives, and all she could say was, "What a talent!"
Her only flaw was that jade pendant she was trying to pass off as genuine. It seemed unnecessary; otherwise, her chances of winning would have been fifty-fifty.
However, she was still very curious about how Su Peipei left the farm.
Finally, she obtained the most detailed information from Old Master Qin.
When Su Peipei and Liu Cuihua first arrived at the farm, they suffered quite a bit. Two women, especially Su Peipei who was so beautiful, were bound to attract attention.
Su Peipei is also a ruthless person. After the initial hesitation, she quickly realized that she was in a precarious situation and had to make some changes if she wanted to live a good life.
She was clever and quickly hooked up with the farm's top leader.
With someone protecting you, life becomes much easier.
She certainly wouldn't just resign herself to fate and waste her prime years on the farm.
But once you're in, leaving isn't so easy.
And so, she worked in a labor camp while looking for opportunities.
A few months later, another group of labor reform prisoners arrived at the farm, and she saw Wang Biao in the crowd.
Wang Biao was also arrested, which she never expected. She remembered that in her previous life, Wang Biao had a smooth life, eventually becoming rich and powerful, and eventually becoming the big boss of a group.
Seeing Wang Biao reminded her of many things, and a thought suddenly came to mind.
Opportunity knocks but once.
So she immediately took action and approached the soldiers who were escorting the prisoners.
Su Peipei didn't know what she talked about with the soldier, but soon after, Wang Biao was secretly taken away. She, on the other hand, received a reduced sentence.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao suddenly felt admiration for Su Peipei; this woman was ruthless enough.
