Since Mr. Kang retired, he has not played chess with anyone for many years, except for teaching his closed disciples.
At this moment, when the guests heard that Mr. Kang was playing chess with someone, and his opponent was the eldest lady of the Wei family, whom they had never heard of, they all wanted to go and take a look, regardless of whether they knew Mr. Kang or liked playing chess.
However, in the past, the Wei family had always held banquets, big or small, in the East Courtyard. Therefore, everyone knew that the East Courtyard of the Wei family was antique, luxurious and exquisite, but no one knew where the West Courtyard was or what it looked like.
At this time, Lin Qing, who had been eating silently, put down the food in his hand, walked up to the front, and looked at Wu Mei with a strange expression, "West Courtyard, isn't that where your servants live?"
Lin Qing's words caused a small uproar.
Why would the dignified eldest lady of the Wei family play chess with Mr. Kang in the servants' quarters?
Today is the Wei Group's anniversary party, and it's also Wei Chengzhi's birthday. The eldest son, Wei Chen, is a fool, so it's fine if he doesn't attend. As the eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest young lady should be present.
The guests' discussions made Wu Mei feel embarrassed, and she glared at Lin Qing viciously.
She knew that Lin Qing had always been more of a hindrance than a help, and always opposed her in everything.
However, Wu Mei had no intention of teaching Lin Qing a lesson right now. The curiosity of the guests present had been aroused, and she had to find a way to divert their attention. She couldn't really go to the West Courtyard.
She had been busy for so many days preparing for such an important day, and it couldn't be ruined like this.
Wu Mei glared at Zhu Xiang, "Go, go and invite Mr. Kang again."
Zhu Xiang was in a dilemma. He had left his people there and had been inviting Mr. Kang. However, Mr. Kang had a hot temper and would scold anyone who interrupted him while he was playing chess.
They couldn't just force themselves on Mr. Kang, so they had to bring him over.
But Zhu Xiang couldn't say this.
Wu Mei looked at Wei Chengzhi's face cautiously, feeling anxious, and looked at Wei Yan for help.
Wei Yan pursed his lips and said, "I'll go ask Mr. Kang to come over."
"No need." Wei Chengzhi's deep voice sounded, "I'll go there myself."
After saying that, Wei Chengzhi took a step and walked directly towards the door of the banquet hall.
Wu Mei and Wei Yan looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly tensed.
Wu Mei quickly caught up with Wei Chengzhi, "Husband, let Yan'er go and invite Mr. Kang over. You are the protagonist today, how can you abandon your guests and leave?"
Wei Yan also followed, "Yes, Dad, I'll go and invite him. I was the one who invited Mr. Kang here in the first place. If I invite him over, he will definitely give me face."
"You're going to invite them?" Wei Chengzhi didn't stop, "I'm afraid you don't have the face to do that."
Others may not understand Mr. Kang’s temperament and character, but Wei Chengzhi does.
He was a proud and aloof person, and most people looked down on him, so he would not easily play chess with others. But if he could take the initiative to sit down and play chess, and would not allow anyone to interrupt him, then he must have regarded the other party as his opponent.
Wei Chengzhi was very curious about the person who could be regarded as an opponent by Mr. Kang.
What made him even more curious was that this person turned out to be his despised eldest daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, Wei Chengzhi quickened his pace.
Wu Mei bit her lip. Since she couldn't persuade Wei Chengzhi, she could only follow him and deal with the situation as the time went by.
When the guests present saw that Wei Chengzhi had gone, some of them who were very curious followed him, and the group walked towards the west courtyard in a mighty manner.
