Liu Su's smile widened. "Miss Shi, what kind of chess are you best at? Chinese chess or Go?"
"I can play a little bit of both types of games, but I like Go the most."
"Oh my," Liu Su feigned surprise, "What a coincidence! Miss Shi, you probably don't know, do you? I happen to be a retired Go player, and I was once quite famous internationally, but that's all in the past. They say it's rare to find a worthy opponent, so I wonder if I have the honor of playing a game with Miss Shi today?"
"sure."
Liu Su smiled and continued, "However, this game wouldn't be fun without a prize. Miss Shi, if you lose, how about you give me the East Sea Mermaid Pearl that the Si family head gave you as a prize?"
There are two East Sea shark pearls in total.
It is a family heirloom of the Si family.
To show the outside world how much she valued Jiang Ning, after discussing it with her eight sons, Madam Si decided to give one of the pills to Jiang Ning.
If Jiang Ning were to lose the East Sea Mermaid Pearl to Liu Su, she would not only be losing the Si family's heirloom, but she would also be humiliating both the Si and Shi families.
If Jiang Ning were to refuse Liu Su at this moment, he would lose his role as the heir of the Shi family, making him a laughingstock in front of everyone at the banquet hall.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shi frowned slightly. What exactly was Liu Su doing?
When they bullied her, was there no one else at home?
How dare they treat her Sheng Bao like that!
Just as Madam Shi was about to take a step forward, Jiang Ning grabbed her arm. "Grandma, I can do it."
With just a simple sentence, he calmed down Madam Shi.
Madam Shi nodded.
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Su, "Miss Liu, since it's a competition, it should be fair. The East Sea Mermaid Pearl is a family heirloom of my Si family, and there are only two in this world. If you lose, what do you have to offer me as a prize?"
Liu Su directly removed the necklace from her neck. "This necklace is called Ocean Star. It has been passed down from my great-grandfather's generation. Miss Shi, do you have the guts to bet with me?"
Jiang Ning smiled faintly, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
These words were spoken.
Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.
"Miss Shi, have you gone mad? Liu Su is an undefeated master!"
"It is said that no one in the Go world can make Liu Su lose, except for N."
This N was once a popular international Go player.
But he retired two years ago.
This person is particularly mysterious. When participating in competitions, they never show their true face. They always wear a mask and hat and verify their identity by fingerprint. Therefore, no one knows their true identity. Because of the official protection, no one even knows their true gender.
Could Jiang Ning be even more powerful than N?
Absolutely impossible!
The reason Liu Su dared to bring out her family heirloom, the Ocean Star, to compete with Jiang Ning was because she knew she wouldn't lose.
Jiang Ning's words startled both Grandpa Jiang and Madam Si.
Madam Si quickly turned to her sons, "Hua Wen, Hua Wu, all eight of you, think of ways to help Sheng Bao! Sheng Bao is about to be bullied by an outsider! The East Sea Pearl is our Si family heirloom!"
Si Huawen smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, Shengbao isn't that kind of impetuous child. She won't lose the East Sea Mermaid Pearl. Besides, she's a member of the Si family! How could a member of the Si family not be able to solve such a small problem?"
Si Huawu nodded, "Big brother is right, Mom. Shengbao has just arrived in the capital, and she needs an opportunity like this to let everyone know that the heir of the Shi family and the little princess of the Si family are not so easy to mess with!"
Upon hearing this, the other six uncles of the Si family all nodded.
Madam Si and Grandpa Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Su looked at Jiang Ning and continued, "Miss Shi, I am, after all, a professional Go player. I have the advantage when playing against you, and winning is nothing to brag about. If you don't want to play, you can still back out now, but once the game starts, you can't back out! Why don't you think about it again?"
"No need to think, I'll compete with you." Jiang Ning looked at Liu Su and said, word by word.
Oh!
That village girl has quite the big mouth.
The mockery in Liu Su's eyes became even more obvious. She smiled and said, "It seems Miss Shi is very confident in herself?"
Jiang Ning laughed, "I just think beating you is pretty easy."
The voice was very soft and faint, yet it was resounding and carried an inexplicable force.
Yue Qianlan's eyes lit up. "Twelfth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, look how cool Ningning is!"
Si Qiliang and Si Qiming looked at Jiang Ning with pride in their eyes.
The other eleven brothers of the Si family also looked proud.
They all believed in Jiang Ning's abilities.
If Jiang Ning wasn't confident of winning, she definitely wouldn't have said those words.
These words sparked even louder discussions in the banquet hall.
"Has Jiang Ning gone mad? Does she even know who's standing in front of her? That's Liu Su!"
"It seems that the Si family's heirloom will now belong to the Liu family."
"Losing even a family heirloom is truly shameful!"
Liu Su looked at Jiang Ning and snorted coldly, "There's no turning back now. I've already given Miss Shi a chance, but she didn't cherish it. All the distinguished guests here are witnesses! Also, a reminder: Miss Shi, don't cry if you lose!"
