Xu Bai led Gu Jingchen inside, putting on a smiling face, but inwardly he wasn't particularly satisfied with Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen has a handsome appearance and a good family background, but Xu Bai doesn't quite like him.
It wasn't that Xu Huanyan liked this person and was afraid her sister would be taken away; rather, seeing Gu Jingchen reminded him of Su Ning.
Su Ning wasn't the most beautiful or the smartest person he had ever seen, but she was the one he remembered the most.
Especially after Su Ning had an accident on his own island, he had a series of nightmares during that time, all of which were of Su Ning smiling and talking to him.
It's really strange! He couldn't help but suspect that he had fallen in love with Su Ning, otherwise why would he be so heartbroken when she had an accident, and why would he hate Gu Jingchen so much?
Gu Jingchen was the same; he disliked everyone in the Xu family.
He went with Xu Bai to Xu's garden, where the old man had already brewed tea in the pavilion.
The Gu family of Nancheng has risen even faster in recent years. The first time Old Master Xu noticed Gu Jingchen was many years ago when he saw news in Nancheng about the eldest son of the Gu family confessing his love to the daughter of the Su family.
After that, he paid attention to the Gu family's affairs.
Knowing that the Gu family opposed Gu Jingchen's relationship with Su Ning, knowing that after Su Ning's accident, the Gu family and Gu Jingchen stood by and did nothing, and knowing that Gu Jingchen had seized power in the Gu family over the past four years and firmly held the reins of the Gu Group.
Regardless, Old Master Xu didn't have a good impression of the Gu family and Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen wants to marry Xu Huanyan, which is none of his business, but now he has to interfere if he wants to marry Su Ning.
"Old Master Xu!"
As the person approached, Old Master Xu, who was lost in thought, looked up and saw a thin man.
He had seen Gu Jingchen's photo, but after seeing him in person, he felt that the man had lost his former charm and exuded a kind of desolation that made people inexplicably uncomfortable.
Do you know how to play chess?
The chess set was laid out on the stone table. Gu Jingchen smiled faintly and sat down opposite Old Master Xu. "I can!"
The Xu family didn't invite him over just to play chess.
Grandpa Xu was quite skilled at chess. When he played chess with others, most people would let him win, except for Mr. Xu himself.
Every time Mr. Xu sat down to play chess with him, he would ignore his pleas for mercy and his anger, and would not stop until he had completely defeated him.
When he encountered Gu Jingchen, the old man planned to kill him without hesitation, leaving him with no pieces. However, not long after the game started, he lost a knight.
"Do you even know how to play chess?!"
The old man, who was used to being fawned over, said unhappily.
"eat!"
Ignoring the old man's annoyance, Gu Jingchen raised his hand and ate the old man's "car".
One "horse" and one "chariot" were devoured in quick succession. This was even more ruthless than Xu Sheng's actions, showing him no mercy whatsoever.
"You're incredibly arrogant when you do things, you don't give anyone any face at all."
"Saving face is for those who deserve it!"
Gu Jingchen replied calmly. He was focused on the game and saw the loopholes in the old man's chessboard. He planned to capture them one by one until the old man was left with only the "general".
These words greatly displeased Old Master Xu. He wanted to marry their daughter, yet he was so arrogant and disrespectful.
"snort!"
The old man sneered, "Mr. Gu, what do you think of our daughter?"
He didn't say it was Xu Huanyan!
Following this, Gu Jingchen concluded that it was Xu Huanyan.
"Not good!"
He gave a cold reply and rudely took the old man's piece again, which angered the old man so much that he didn't want to play anymore.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare let the old man lose too badly.
The three grandsons, including Xu Bai, will make the old man lose by a step or two.
