Wei Chengzhi's indifference made Wei Yan feel cold in his heart. At this moment, he could more or less understand the despair in Wu Mei's heart over the years.
The man in front of him, the man he had called father for more than twenty years, was so heartless and indifferent to him.
She didn't even want to listen to him finish a complete sentence, let alone offer him a word of comfort.
His father clearly knew how difficult his current situation was, but he was too stingy to offer even a word of comfort. Instead, he let him figure out how to keep his position as heir on his own.
What does this mean?
Are you going to give up on him?
But he clearly did nothing wrong, he was clearly his son.
Wei Yan was confused, angry, and aggrieved. All the emotions flooded into his mind at once. He just watched Wei Chengzhi sitting in Shuxin Pavilion, which was known to everyone as Wu Jing's favorite place.
Without saying anything more, Wei Yan turned around and left with a lot of emotions.
Only when the surroundings became quiet again did Wei Chengzhi look towards a corner and said, "Come out, you've been looking for a long time."
The next second, Ye Qin walked out from the corner without changing her expression, not feeling ashamed at all for being discovered by Wei Chengzhi.
She had no intention of peeping, she was standing there openly, it was just that her position was special and Wei Yan couldn't see her.
Ye Qin walked into Shuxin Pavilion and sat directly opposite Wei Chengzhi.
After Wei Yan's rash attempt to claim credit and pretend that he had solved Mr. Kang's chess game was exposed, Wei Chengzhi had removed the chessboard from Shuxin Pavilion. But now, he had it put back in place.
Ye Qin glanced at the chessboard and said nothing.
Wei Chengzhi, who had always looked down on his daughter-in-law, was the first to speak. "Jing'er really likes this place. After marrying me, she comes here almost every day. So I put the chessboard here, and whenever I have time, I come over to play chess with her to relieve her boredom. She's not very good at chess, and she always loses to me, but she never tires of it and won't let me win. She's such a strong-willed and stubborn woman, and I just can't do anything about her."
Ye Qin didn't say anything and listened to Wei Chengzhi quietly.
"Later, she passed away..." Wei Chengzhi paused and casually picked up a white chess piece. "I often sat here playing chess by myself. Traces of her became fewer and fewer in this house. Only here can I still find traces of her. For example, this is the chair she liked to sit on, and the cracks on the stone table were caused by her carelessly."
Ye Qin glanced at the edge of the stone table and found a thin crack there, which was impossible to see without careful observation.
"This was supposed to be a day to commemorate her, but so many things happened. Jing'er must be unhappy."
Although he didn't like Wu Mei, Wei Chengzhi had treated her with respect over the years and tried not to show his crazy longing for Wu Jing in front of Wu Mei.
In a year, the only day of the anniversary was when he could openly remember Wu Jing. However, he did not expect that this time, even the only day of the year would be ruined.
"You are very good at playing chess. Please play a game with me." Wei Chengzhi took the initiative to invite Ye Qin to play chess.
Ye Qin did not refuse and directly picked up the black piece and started playing against Wei Chengzhi, without saying a word until he forced Wei Chengzhi's white piece into a desperate situation.
Wei Chengzhi frowned, holding the white piece in his hand, but he couldn't make a move. This was a chess game that was even more difficult than the one Mr. Kang had played before.
"This... I lost..." Wei Chengzhi smiled bitterly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed defeated by Ye Qin.
"It can be solved, and you can win." Ye Qin said.
