Upon hearing this, Zou Fang felt that he was indirectly supporting Gu Yunche again.
"I'm her biological mother, would I harm her?"
Even though Gu Yunche is rich now, she still can't hand her daughter over to him just because of the eerie feeling she gets from him.
Mr. Luo didn't understand this woman's sixth sense, but he didn't argue much more.
He promised not to see Gu Yunche again, but since they lived so close, it was inevitable that they would run into each other again.
When someone invites him for tea, he can't very well refuse, so he can only go quietly and make sure to come back early.
Initially, when Gu Yunche invited him over, he was busy working in his study while Luo's father was out and about at home, and neither of them disturbed the other.
However, the more often they came, the more often they started talking to each other.
On his sixth visit, Luo's father discovered a chessboard in the house, and it was an old artifact from the Qing Dynasty.
"You play chess sometimes?"
“Sometimes, I play against myself,” Gu Yunche said.
Mr. Luo was itching to play. "How about... we play a round?"
Gu Yunche checked the time. "Okay."
Then, the two of them sat down and played a game with great enthusiasm.
Luo's father was a Go master. Although he couldn't compare to professional Go players in China, he was still a formidable opponent in the amateur Go community.
Playing chess with Gu Yunche felt like finally meeting a worthy opponent.
He stroked the chess piece in his hand, finally deciding on the placement, and glanced at Gu Yunche, who sat opposite him with a calm and composed expression.
"If you move over here, won't your parents come over to this big house?"
Gu Yunche considered it for a moment before answering.
"My... parents are gone."
He couldn't say he didn't have parents, because that would raise suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Luo's father's eyes showed a hint of barely perceptible heartache.
It turns out that his parents died early, which explains his eccentric personality and dislike of interacting with people.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sad story."
"It's alright." Gu Yunche smiled faintly, since he hadn't been saddened by the matter anyway.
The game of chess lasted for two or three hours, and Gu Yunche won in the end, but Luo's father was not angry.
However, his competitive spirit was ignited, and he made up his mind to win next time.
"It's getting late, I'm going back."
Mr. Luo took a sip of tea, then got up to leave.
Gu Yunche escorted the person to the door and handed them a house key.
"Uncle, if you like any of the things in the house, feel free to come and see them anytime."
Otherwise, it would be exhausting for both of them to pretend to bump into each other nearby.
Mr. Luo looked at the key, wanting to take it but knowing it wouldn't be appropriate.
"This... isn't quite appropriate."
How carefree he is! He keeps so many treasures in his house, yet he just casually gives him the keys. Isn't he afraid that the man will empty the house?
"Consider it as me leaving a spare with you," Gu Yunche said, stuffing the key into his hand.
When Luo's father tried to return it, the other party said they had work to do and had already left.
He could only take the keys home and buy groceries for dinner on the way back.
Along the way, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person met her standards for a son-in-law.
He has a respectable and stable job, and he is very generous to his daughter.
Although they have no parents, they can't bear to part with their daughter. Since the other party has no parents, there are fewer conflicts between them and their daughter-in-law. They treat them like sons-in-law who have moved in with their families.
Moreover, he knows how to play chess, so if she becomes his son-in-law, he won't have to worry about not having opponents to play chess with.
