Chapter 25
On the court, the fifth game ended with a score of 5 to 2, and the Huo team won.
"Wow, we won!"
"Really? We won. We defeated the Liang family boys and their gang."
The children from the Huo family school cheered.
The result of the competition was somewhat unbelievable to the women present. Everyone originally thought that the child from the Liang family would win, but unexpectedly they lost.
"Tian Ji's Horse Racing!" Gu Xinyu looked at Luo Chaoyan. This woman is quite clever.
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"Tian Ji's strategy in horse racing is to use the weak against the strong, the strong against the middle, and the middle against the weak. I think the young master of the Huo family knows the strength of the young master of the Liang family and others, so he asked their team to choose their opponents in the second game." Gu Xinyu said slowly.
Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on. They never expected that these kids could use strategies and tactics in a ball game. They couldn't help but praise Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo again.
Although the young master of the Huo family is a troublemaker on weekdays, it must be said that he is indeed smart.
Liang Qianyi pouted, somewhat unconvinced, and deliberately asked: "Sister Gu, if the young master of the Huo family fought against Ah Mo and the others with strength, he would not lose in a fair competition!"
She bit the word "tangtangzhengzheng" particularly hard, as if mocking Huo Rui's cheating.
Madam Liang glared at her and said, "It's just a game between children. Why are you making such a fuss?" The girl didn't even consider the occasion.
Madam Liang smiled and said to Madam Huo, "Sister, it seems that your little Rui has inherited Ajin's intelligence. Congratulations!"
"Sister, you have never seen how naughty he is! He can even tear down the mansion." Old Madam Huo said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed and said that their naughty children were making a fuss and so on.
Gu Xinyu looked at Luo Chaoyan with an ambiguous expression and said, "Come to think of it, Young Master Huo actually got some advice from Madam Huo!"
Luo Chaoyan and Su Qian were eating snacks and talking about them. She was still chewing a snack in her mouth. When she saw everyone looking at her, her mouth was bulging and she couldn't chew or swallow anything.
Seeing how funny she was, some people present couldn't help but purse their lips in laughter. I want to laugh but I'm too embarrassed to do so, so I have to hold it back.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Huo was so angry that she almost went crazy. If she hadn't had to maintain her dignified dignity, she would have roared on the spot.
Su Qian said, "Mrs. Liang, your dim sum is really good. Not only does Mrs. Huo like it, I like it too. I wonder if your chef made it or bought it from Xiangsulou?"
Madam Liang smiled and said, "This is made by our chef. If you like it, I'll have someone bring some back for you later."
"Thank you very much!"
After Su Qian finished speaking, she winked at Luo Chaoyan mischievously.
"Great-grandmother! Grandmother!"
At this time, Huo Rui and the Liang brothers came over.
Mrs. Huo took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped Huo Rui's sweat, then smiled and looked at the other children of the Huo family and said, "You are all good children!"
Xu from the eldest wife of the Liang family looked at Liang Chuxun with some concern, and felt relieved when she saw that her son did not look worried at all.
Liang Chumo had a depressed look on his face, and was pulled into the arms of Mrs. Liang Er with a somewhat sullen look.
Liang Qianyi saw how devastated he was and felt a little distressed: "A-Mo, don't be discouraged, you guys didn't lose!" She glared at Luo Chaoyan and said, "Mrs. Huo gave Huo Rui some advice, asking them to learn the strategy from Tian Ji's horse racing game to deal with you, so they were the ones cheating."
Liang Chumo pointed at Huo Rui in anger and said, "Huo Rui, you cheated, you won unfairly! You even let adults give you advice! It's not fair!" He said that it was obvious that the people on their side were stronger, but they lost in the end.
"So what? You didn't say that we can't ask for help and advice!" Huo Rui looked like he deserved a beating.
Liang Chumo was furious, "You! You have no shame!"
"Amo, no matter what, we lost. All's fair in war! As a member of the Liang family, how can you be so violent? This is a taboo in military strategy!" Liang Chuxun frowned.
"Cousin!"
Luo Chaoyan said inwardly: Tsk tsk! I never thought that a ball game for this child would allow her to see what precocity means! Look at this young master of the Liang family. He is worthy of being from a military family. He has such a broad mind! This pattern! He is much more pleasing to the eye than that little devil Huo Rui. It’s a pity that his face looks a bit like Huo Jin’s old-fashioned face.
Old Lady Liang nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Axun, you're right!"
"Amo, do you know you are wrong?"
She said to her two great-grandsons earnestly, "On the battlefield, when two armies are fighting, it is not only about strength, but the most important thing is to stay calm at all times, so that you can come up with a good strategy to put yourself in an invincible position. Do you understand?"
"My grandson will follow my great-grandmother's teachings!"
The two replied in unison.
Look! Although both are parents, the elders of the Liang family are very sensible. They point out mistakes without ambiguity or covering up. They are different from the old lady in their family who is only protective of her child. If it weren't for the father Huo Jin to suppress him, the little devil would make trouble every day in different ways. It seems that as a stepmother, she must play a role in the little devil's growth.
Luo Chaoyan walked up to Old Lady Liang, with an apologetic look on her face, and said, "Old Lady Liang, this is all my fault. I really shouldn't have interfered in the competition between these children." She then sincerely apologized to the young masters of the Liang family, "My two young masters, I'm really sorry."
Liang Qianyi didn't expect her to apologize. She snorted, "You still have some conscience."
"Our little Rui is very competitive. If he loses today's game, he will definitely make a scene when he gets home. Grandmother is not in good health and mother has a lot of things to do at home, so I am doing this to make things easier for them."
Luo Chaoyan's words were so sincere and heartfelt that people felt that her filial piety was commendable. But to Madam Huo, something always seemed unsatisfactory.
Mrs. Huo felt that what she said was true. She smiled and tapped Huo Rui's forehead, scolding him, "You, you really make me worry!"
Luo Chaoyan said, "My two young masters, I heard that the trophy of your competition is the toy Rubik's Cube in Huo Rui's hand, right?"
"Yes! Yes!" Liang Chumo replied.
"Well, their victory today was indeed due to trickery. To express my apology, I will let him take you there. Will you calm down?"
"no!"
"no!"
Not only Huo Rui, but even Huo Yu, who had nothing to do with the matter, could not stay still any longer. What would he do if the Rubik's Cube was given to Liang Chumo? Huo Rui promised to give it to him. He looked at Huo Rui, motioning him to say something quickly.
Luo Chaoyan looked like a loving mother and said, "Xiao Rui, a real man should be broad-minded. It's not worth it to hurt the friendship between you two playmates for a Rubik's Cube."
Huo Rui gritted his teeth. This woman never forgot to make trouble for him whenever she had the chance. He hurriedly tugged at Madam Huo's hand, hoping that she could speak for him.
Mrs. Huo felt that this was not just a friendship between children, but more broadly, it was about the long-standing relationship between the Liang and Huo families. So she agreed with her daughter-in-law and said seriously, "Xiao Rui, your mother is right. You can't hurt your friendship for a toy."
Huo Rui pursed his lips. Seeing that his great-grandmother was silent after hearing what his grandmother said, he knew that he had lost again this time.
"My grandson knows."
Liang Chumo smiled like a cat stealing fish, and said, "Huo Rui, you promised, you can't regret it, have someone send it to me tomorrow."
Huo Rui and Huo Yu glared at him fiercely, thinking that the villain had succeeded.
