“This is because Grandpa does not want to have any more regrets in life. After all, if I lost that game in the past, then your grandmother would have definitely been able to live a good life with that old man, Shi Le.”
Zuo Weiyi suddenly felt her heart tightened when she heard her grandfather’s words.
Her grandfather was simply afraid that if he won the chess game today, she would not be able to be together with Shi Yuting properly anymore. Therefore, he did not want to make the same mistake as he did back then. He did not want his granddaughter to suffer the same fate as her grandmother did. He was afraid that his victory would ruin her life. However, Zuo Yi did not want to let Zuo Weiyi marry Shi Yuting just like that. Therefore, he could only use this method to hand his granddaughter over to the Shi family like that.
As she thought about this, Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel a little distressed.
She could see the reluctance in Zuo Yi’s eyes. She knew that his grandfather felt very guilty because of her grandmother’s fate.
However, how could anyone possibly hand someone that they loved over to someone else just like that?
If he had really lost in the game of chess back then, Zuo Weiyi was certain that her grandmother would not just leave him just like that and choose to be with Shi Yuting’s grandfather instead.
When she saw the guilty expression that he had in his eyes, Zuo Weiyi could not help but say, “Grandpa, have you ever really thought about it? If Grandma had really ended up with Shi Yuting’s grandfather, then you will not have your precious granddaughter today!”
Zuo Weiyi tilted her head as she looked at Zuo Yi playfully. Zuo Yi smiled.
Yes. Indeed, if he had lost in the game of chess in the past, he would not have such a good and obedient granddaughter then!
“Moreover, even if you lose, that does not mean that Grandma would just get together with another man, right?”
Zuo Yi could not help but sink deep into his thoughts when he thought about Zuo Weiyi’s words.
Shen Ruoxi’s character was just as Zuo Weiyi said. Even if he had lost the game of chess back then, she would not necessarily have gotten together with Shi Le. After all, both Shen Ruoxi and Zuo Yi had already gone through a lot of ups and downs together in their relationship.
After that, Zuo Yi turned his head and smiled at Zuo Weiyi as he said, “You are right.”
After hearing Zuo Weiyi’s words, Zuo Yi felt much more relieved.

After deciding on their wedding date, the whole country caught wind of the news within the next few days. The news became the focus of all the major media’s attention and had also caused a heated discussion amongst the people in the country.
Many people were surprised at this sudden announcement of their marriage, and everyone had differing opinions on this matter.
Some said, “The president has just found his long lost granddaughter, and she is about to get married to the next presidential candidate so soon? Why does it seem as though there is something else behind this matter?”
Some said, “Before the news of the identity of the president’s granddaughter was released, someone saw the president’s granddaughter hospitalized because of an injury. During that time, Shi Yuting went in and out of the hospital every day just to accompany her. It seems as though the both of them already had a very close relationship since a long time ago.”
Some also said, “Doesn’t the marriage between the next presidential candidate and the granddaughter of the current president clearly mean that Shi Yuting’s position as the next president has been confirmed then? As long as he marries the president’s granddaughter, then the position of the next president would undoubtedly belong to Shi Yuting.”
Of course, people only dared to say these things in private as no one dared to discuss this matter out in the open. After all, no one wanted to cause trouble and offend the next president and the next presidential candidate!
At the same time, the Tengtang family had also received the news.
Tengtang Xi’s beautiful face was filled with rage as she sat in the living room. She could not wait to tear up Zuo Weiyi’s picture on the screen!
“Smack!”
In the next second, Tengtang Xi had already thrown the remote control in her hand at the LCD screen.
Why was Zuo Weiyi taking all the good things in this world away from her? Why on earth did it have to be her of all people?
As she was gritting her teeth in anger, a figure suddenly walked in through the door.
“Miss.” The person who had just entered greeted her before he nodded respectfully at Tengtang Xi, who was sitting on the sofa.
Tengtang Xi’s mood stabilized a little when she heard the man’s cold voice.
She turned around to look at the man before she asked, “How is it going?”
