Ren Yaoqi shook his head and replayed the previous games one by one, but his style of play changed drastically later on, causing Ren Yijun to lose most of his points each time.
By the end, Ren Yijun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ren Shimin watched the game in amazement. Finally, he sighed softly and patted Ren Yaoqi's head: "Okay, Yaoyao, don't be angry with your third brother. He hates it most when others don't respect their opponents when playing chess."
"Hmph!" Ren Yijun snorted coldly and turned his head away, very angry.
Ren Yaoqi casually said, "Father once said that he could tell a person's character from the way they played chess. Young Master Han is a very skilled chess player, but he likes to hide his true strength. He can win beautifully, but it's not refreshing enough. I always feel that it's a bit too... accidental."
Ren Shimin couldn't help but think deeply when he heard this.
Ren Yaoqi slowly picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and carefully placed them one by one back into the fine white porcelain chess pot.
"Originally, I thought we were very compatible and wanted to make friends in the future. But now, it seems that people with this kind of personality are really unpleasant!" Ren Yijun said with a cold face. He himself had a weird personality and often changed his face like turning the pages of a book. At this moment, his face returned to his usual gloomy look.
Ren Shimin sighed: "No one in this world is perfect, and those who are both talented and virtuous are still very few. Young Master Han is also from a merchant family. He is the only male in the Han family in his generation. From what he said, he usually spends his time at the academy in Yunyang City and traveling around with his family elders. It is normal for him to be influenced by the cautious nature of a businessman." Although the Ren family is also a merchant family, Ren Shimin has always looked down on businessmen.
This analysis is reasonable, Ren Yaoqi thought happily as he closed the chess jar.
She didn't really care about the saying "chess character reflects one's character". She also didn't care whether Mr. Han really gave up the game on purpose or whether his original chess skills were really similar to those of Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun.
She just didn't want the two men in front of her to have too good an impression of Han Yunqian, so good that she wouldn't be willing to accept him unless she took him home as her son-in-law and brother-in-law.
Although she didn't know whether the Han family had a hand in the Ren family's misfortune in the previous life, it was the safest approach to keep a distance from the Han family.
She did not feel the slightest remorse for having thus secretly denigrated a man's character. She detested a man who broke his promise of marriage, whatever his reasons.
The man broke off the engagement, but could still marry his beautiful bride. However, the woman's life was ruined. In her previous life, Ren Yaohua's tragedy was caused by both the Han and Ren families.
Two days after this incident, the Han family sent an invitation to Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun to visit the Han residence. Ren Shimin was busy mounting a painting at the time and politely declined. Ren Yijun simply claimed to be ill and did not even meet him.
After that, the Han family invited them twice more, but Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun did not go. However, the fifth master Ren Shimao and the eldest son Ren Yiyan went once.
The end of the year is almost here, and this winter is particularly cold. People stay at home if possible, and there are fewer social events in winter. The Han family hasn't sent any more invitations.
Ren Yaoyu's house arrest was finally lifted, but she could no longer return to the old lady's courtyard. From then on, she and Ren Yaoying became enemies. However, her attitude towards Ren Yaohua, whom she had originally considered an enemy, softened considerably.
Another change is that the third young master, Ren Yijun, who had a strange temper and a cold relationship with all his siblings, has suddenly become more amiable towards the fifth sister. He often braves the wind and snow, cane in hand, to play chess with the fifth sister, Ren Yaoqi, at Ziwei Courtyard. This leaves everyone in the Ren family baffled and incredulous, except the third young master, who remains calm and composed. *******Thanks to keeffe and Naga Xuefei for the gifts~^^****** Meinan's completed story:
