"That child had a bad life. When she was a teenager, we were fleeing from war, and she was forcibly taken away by the invaders," came the old lady's weathered voice.
In that chaotic era of war, what other fate awaited someone who was dragged away?
A perfectly good girl was humiliated and eventually committed suicide because she couldn't bear it.
Grandma Bai felt like crying whenever she thought about that time; it was her first child.
Such a good girl, and she's gone like that...
Little Yuzu clenched her little fists, her face contorted in a fierce expression: "Damn it!"
Time will pass, but the scars left behind will not.
"It's all in the past."
Grandma Bai patted Xiaoyouzi's head: "We lost our only daughter. It's the Bai family's fate."
The Bai family doesn't have a single girl.
Bai Tingting was an accident; she was the only girl in the Bai family, but she was wicked and could not be respected.
She originally planned to bring Bai Tingting over for education.
Unfortunately, her mother refused, and ended up raising the child in a way that went astray.
Little Yuzu saw that Old Mrs. Bai was truly sad, and the atmosphere around them was filled with bitterness.
She reached out and patted Grandma Bai's hand, smiling, "Grandma, don't be sad. Shall I take you out to play?"
Seeing the little girl's smile, Grandma Bai smiled and said, "Okay."
There is a large garden outside the ancestral home, with beautiful scenery, perfect for a stroll.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Xiaoyouzi was about to push Grandma Bai out the door, Grandma Bai stopped her.
Little Yuzu looked at her, puzzled: "What's wrong, Grandma?"
"Wait me a moment."
Grandma Bai took a set of jewelry from a cabinet and gave it to Xiaoyouzi: "Xiaoyouzi, this is a gift from your great-grandmother to you. Take it."
“But Grandma, you already gave me a gift, I don’t need so much.”
Little Yuzu frowned slightly.
She didn't want so many of these expensive gifts.
Otherwise, everyone would think she's a greedy child.
Although she does love money.
But she earned it all herself!
Grandma Bai smiled kindly: "Little Youzi, your mother is my granddaughter. You are my only precious great-granddaughter, so you must accept her."
Upon hearing what Grandma Bai said, Xiao Youzi knew Bai Tingting's status in the Bai family.
"Well then, thank you, Grandma." Little Yuzu stopped refusing and accepted the gifts.
She pushed the old lady downstairs, chatting as they walked.
"Little Yuzu, how have you been all these years? How did your brother find you?" Grandma Bai asked curiously.
Little Yuzu smiled slightly and said, "When fate brings us together, we'll meet. Let nature take its course."
This ambiguous answer was not what the old lady wanted.
But she didn't intend to ask any further questions.
If someone is unwilling to talk about it, it proves that they have scars in their heart.
Little Yuzu may not be doing very well.
Grandma Bai spent a long time lost in her own thoughts.
When I came to my senses, Little Yuzu had already pushed me into the bamboo forest.
"Listen to the bamboo?"
Little Yuzi read the name of the bamboo garden aloud: "This name sounds nice."
Your great-grandfather's name was Bai Tingzhu.
Grandma Bai said with a smile, "Later, after we got this house, I named it Bamboo Garden."
The old man has been gone for so many years.
He's nowhere to be found, yet he's everywhere.
Xiaoyouzi didn't know what to say about the two's relationship, nor did she intend to say anything more.
He has been dead for decades, and he was a person of great merit. No matter how long he has been waiting in line, he has long since entered the cycle of reincarnation.
Grandma Bai didn't intend to continue, and asked with a smile, "Little Youzi, there's a chessboard over there, want to play chess?"
Following the direction pointed out by the old lady, Xiaoyouzi saw the pavilion in the bamboo forest.
The tables and chairs inside that pavilion were all made of wood, and the chessboard was carved into the table.
Little Yuzu said happily, "Great! Perfect, I know a little bit of that."
"That's great!" There are very few younger people in the family who learn to play chess these days, so it's nice to have someone to play chess with.
Grandma Bai called out to the maid behind her, "Xiao He, come and clean up."
It turned out that while the two were taking a walk, three or four maids were following behind them.
They were all arranged by Bai Li to protect the old lady.
"Yes, madam."
A maid named Xiao He took out a handkerchief and cleaned the table and chairs, then pushed the old lady to the chessboard.
Little Yuzu sat on the stool, and another maid placed the chess box next to her: "Miss Yuzu."
"Thank you, sister!"
Faced with the sweet and adorable little pomelo's smiling face, even the maid couldn't help but blush.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Bai raised her hand and said, "You may all leave."
"yes!"
The group retreated and stood outside the pavilion.
The old lady felt sorry for him and said, "Just sit on the side and don't disturb our chess game."
"Thank you, Madam!"
Four maids sat down behind the two men, two on each side.
Grandma Bai then said, "Let's play chess, little pomelo."
After bowing to Old Lady Bai, Little Yuzu took the black chess piece and left first.
At first, both players played relatively easily, and everyone knew what was going on.
Later, Grandma Bai, who had initially been just playing around like a child, gradually became serious: "Little Youzi, who taught you this chess skill? Your technique is sharp."
"I learned from my master, so-so."
Little Yuzu smiled politely.
The old lady Bai looked at her with even more kindness.
Grandma Bai lost the first round, but she smiled and said, "Let's play again."
