Tang Shaowei thought that with his granddaughter giving him a two-stone handicap, he would definitely turn the tables against the wind, but unexpectedly, he was quickly pinned down and hammered by Lin Wu.
His granddaughter was simply too awesome!
Although he lost another game, Tang Shaowei was very happy and laughed, "Xiao Wu, after we get back to Capital City, I’m going to take you to crush Old Qi’s arrogance, to stop him from mocking us Tang Family folks for being brave but foolhardy."
Old Qi was Tang Shaowei’s chess buddy, and the two of them always loved to gather together to play chess.
And they would argue every time they played.
Once, they argued over a game so vehemently that they accidentally injured each other, and the next day one came to play chess in a wheelchair, while the other played with bandages on his hand.
"Okay," Lin Wu nodded slightly.
Tang Shaowei was rubbing his hands together in anticipation, "When the time comes, we, grandfather and granddaughter, will teach him a lesson in humility, and see if he dares to be arrogant next time!"
Lin Wu touched her chin, "But Grandpa, wouldn’t that be a bit like bullying?"
"Not at all!" Tang Shaowei said, "He even brought his grandson last time to play against me! Although his grandson is part of a chess club, his skills are not as good as yours!"
By then, he wanted everyone to know just how awesome his eldest granddaughter was.
Thinking about the envious looks of those old fellows, Tang Shaowei’s face was full of pride.
This expression, it was something his face hadn’t worn for the past thirty-six years.
Now.
His daughter had been found.
And he had gained an outstanding eldest granddaughter; next, he was going to enjoy his retirement in peace.
Aunt Shen placed breakfast on the table, "Old Master, Grandma, it’s time to eat."
"I’m not hungry! I still want to continue playing with Xiao Wu."
Tang Shaowei hadn’t enjoyed playing chess this much in many years.
Fang Youling frowned slightly, "You might not be hungry, but Xiao Wu should eat; she’s at the age where she needs to grow."
Hearing this, Tang Shaowei immediately stood up from the sofa, "Let’s go, Xiao Wu, let’s eat."
Lin Wu stood up as well.
Fang Youling looked at Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, your Grandpa is particularly fond of cheating at chess. Don’t play with him next time."
"No way, I think Grandpa has good sportsmanship in chess."
Tang Shaowei was even more proud, puffing out his chest, "Did you hear that? My granddaughter says I have sportsmanship!"
Fang Youling: Huh, so what if you have a great-granddaughter? Acting like she doesn’t have one.
After eating.
Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu accompanied the two elders shopping.
Qing City is a tourist city, so there are many scenic areas. Although Fang Youling had been to Qing City twice, both times were in search of her daughter, and she had no mind to enjoy the scenery then.
But this time was different.
Now that her daughter had been found, and her granddaughter was by her side, she felt like she was the happiest person in the world and of course wanted to appreciate Qing City’s beautiful scenery with her daughter and granddaughter.
The family of four got into a business van.
Lin Guixiang said, "Mom and Dad, shall we go to Su Garden Ancient Town first? There, we can enjoy the scenery, watch performances, have tea, and listen to operas."
"Sure!" Fang Youling nodded in agreement.
Happy times are always fleeting, and soon, the day was over.
It wasn’t until the evening, when she received a message from Grandma Lu, that Fang Youling remembered she still had a dear friend in Qing City!
She immediately made a video call to Grandma Lu.
"Sister Yao."
Even separated by a screen, Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment when she saw Fang Youling.
On the screen, the person was beaming with joy, her eyes twinkling with happiness, and she looked in high spirits.
Grandma Lu even thought she was seeing things, "Youling, have you come across some good fortune recently?"
"Mm-hmm," Fang Youling nodded, "and it’s the best news possible!"
The best news possible?
Grandma Lu was about to say something when Fang Youling continued, "Sister Yao, guess what it is."
Seeing Fang Youling’s face blossom into a smile, Grandma Lu had a bold guess and said incredulously, "You, you haven’t found Qiushui, have you?"
Besides finding Tang Qiushui, Grandma Lu couldn’t think of a second ’best news possible.’
"Yes, I’ve found her," Fang Youling nodded, her eyes welling up with tears.
Clang!
The phone on the other end of the screen dropped to the floor as Grandma Lu disappeared from view.
After a few seconds, Grandma Lu picked up the phone again, "Youling, you’re not joking with me, are you?"
Thirty-six years!
They had been waiting for thirty-six years.
A total of 13,140 days and nights...
Grandma Lu dared not imagine how her old friend had coped over those years.
Now, hearing such good news, Grandma Lu’s heart was truly overwhelmed with emotion.
In the world, aside from Tang Shaowei and Fang Youling, she was probably the one who looked forward the most to their reunion with Tang Qiushui.
