Old Qi nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.
The young girl was not very old, but she possessed quite a bit of spirit.
Old Master Tang nodded repeatedly, "We certainly do not want to win unfairly."
The guessing game ended quickly.
Old Qi moved the red piece first.
Lin Wu was a step behind with the black piece.
Lin Wu’s playstyle was very aggressive. Right from the start, she had captured two of Old Qi’s major pieces.
The chariot and the cannon!
Old Qi no longer underestimated her as a child and immediately got serious.
But getting serious seemed to have little effect.
It wasn’t long before.
Old Qi found himself in a difficult position.
Many onlookers gathered around them to watch.
"The little girl is pretty impressive!"
"Indeed quite skilled."
"She even won against Old Qi."
"Old Qi is our local undefeated champion."
"Old Qi should have moved his horse just now."
"No, no, moving the horse would be a trap, and the girl’s chariot was waiting for him right there."
"Whose family does this little girl belong to? She’s so impressive."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang immediately perked up and declared with a thump on his chest, "My family’s! This is my eldest granddaughter!"
His voice was loud,
as if afraid he wouldn’t be heard.
Old Qi: Have someone take this show-off out!
A few minutes later,
the outcome of the game was clear.
Old Qi looked at Lin Wu, "Little girl, I’ve lost."
"You gave me the advantage," Lin Wu replied indifferently.
Old Qi then asked, "Are you a professional chess player?"
Lin Wu shook her head slightly, "I just like it."
Just like it?
Hearing this, Old Qi’s eyes were full of surprise.
Just liking it and still this impressive!
Old Master Tang added, "How about it, Old Qi Tou? I told you my granddaughter was impressive! Do you admit it now? This is what we call the new waves pushing the old waves; each wave is stronger than the last! Not like some people whose successive generations can’t beat anyone from our Tang family!"
Old Qi: Quite annoyed!
"Little girl, can we have another game?"
"Sure."
Old Master Tang taunted, "Old Qi Tou, do you want her to give you a two-piece handicap? Beg me, and I will graciously let my granddaughter give you a two-piece handicap."
Old Qi: "Scram!"
Old Master Tang: "I won’t scram, I won’t scram! I’ll annoy you to death! Ha ha ha!"
Lin Wu giggled at this scene.
Turns out the old master was quite adorable.
No doubt,
Lin Wu won this round as well.
Seeing Lin Wu continuously win, someone else couldn’t resist rubbing their hands together, "I don’t believe Old Tang’s granddaughter can be that impressive. Little girl, let’s have a game together!"
Lin Wu didn’t directly respond to him but turned to look at Old Master Tang.
Old Master Tang, brimming with pride, said, "Eldest granddaughter, since Grandpa Liu has said so, go ahead and play a game with him."
"Alright." Lin Wu nodded slightly.
That afternoon,
Lin Wu dominated in the little park,
making these old men pale in talk.
At the same time,
she became a legend in their mouths.
From then on, whenever they played chess, everyone talked about her.
Old Master Tang, having gained both respect and face from this trip to the little park, was naturally very happy, humming a tune all the way home.
"Lin Wu, you really made your grandpa proud today!"
The afternoon was the highlight of his life.
Even at night, when he talked about it again with Fang Youling, Old Master Tang was very excited.
"Youling, you didn’t see the faces of those old men today. They wished they could snatch Lin Wu away to be their own granddaughter!"
"Too bad, Lin Wu is my only granddaughter."
"Nonsense!" Fang Youling glared at him.
"How am I talking nonsense?" Old Master Tang frowned slightly.
Fang Youling said with a smile, "And me, too?"
Realizing his omission, Old Master Tang laughed and said, "Right, right, right, Lin Wu is the granddaughter of both of us."
"That’s more like it," Fang Youling nodded.
Old Master Tang picked up a cup to pour some water, "Do you want some water?"
"I’m not thirsty."
Old Master Tang took a sip and said, "Tell me, our Lin Wu is so beautiful and smart. What kind of person would be worthy of her?"
This question indeed stumped Fang Youling.
Because she felt no one was worthy of her precious granddaughter.
"Our Lin Wu is only nineteen and hasn’t even been to college yet. Why discuss this now?"
Old Master Tang nodded and smiled, "Talking about this now is indeed a bit early, but the moment I think about Lin Wu getting married in the future, I feel very..."
Before he could finish his sentence,
thump.
The water glass dropped from his hand,
and he fainted to the ground.
Fang Youling was startled and immediately rushed over, "Shaowei! Shaowei, what’s wrong with you?"
These days, she was too happy!
So happy that she forgot her partner was still sick.
Now that they had finally found their daughter and granddaughter, they hadn’t even had time to enjoy their family reunion.
Her partner couldn’t have an accident!
He absolutely couldn’t have one.
But no matter how much Fang Youling called, the fainted Old Master Tang had no response at all, looking deathly pale.
"Someone! Quick, someone!" Fang Youling shouted.
"What’s wrong, ma’am?" The servant immediately rushed in from outside.
Fang Youling tried to calm herself down, "Call Doctor Wu right away, ask her to come over."
Her partner’s health had always been in Wu Muzhen’s care.
She was such a skilled doctor.
She must have a way!
