Chapter 561: Dead Chess Becomes a Live Chess
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a certain residential building in Beijing, the rich fragrance of pork ribs stewed with corn floated in the air. In the pool beside the stove, fresh carps were raised. The sound of dumpling on the chopping board could be heard non-stop. Not long after, the rich fragrance of sausages filled the entire house.
“Old Li, go and take a look. Is he back?”
“Soon, soon.” An old man’s voice came from the balcony. “I just saw his car coming. He probably went to park the car.”
Just as Old Master Li finished speaking, footsteps came from the door.
“Grandpa.” Li Yi walked in with bags of health supplements and slippers.
“Hey, my good grandson is here.” Old Master Li hurriedly walked in from the balcony. “Your grandma is making delicious food for you.”
“Grandma.” Li Yi called out to the kitchen.
“Hey, good grandson, play with your grandfather for a while. I’ll be done soon. Just wait for the good food.”
Li Yi put down the food. There were bags of fruits and snacks on the table. They were all his favorites.
Li Yi had been mocked and ridiculed everywhere he went these days. His eyes ached when he saw what his grandparents had prepared.
“It’s nothing. Good boy, you’ve worked hard. Keep working hard next time.” As if knowing what his grandson was thinking, Old Master Li patted Li Yi’s shoulder. In order to distract his grandson, Old Master Li dragged out the chessboard. “Come, let’s play. Your grandmother is stewing pork ribs for you. It will probably take a while, so let’s play slowly.”
The grandfather and grandson sat on the sofa and slowly played chess.
Unknowingly, Old Master Li had been cornered by Li Yi.
Li Yi looked at the chessboard and was about to stop. “Grandpa, it’s a draw.”
Unexpectedly, Old Master Li stopped him. “No, look at me.”
With that, Old Master Li placed a chess piece in a position that Li Yi did not expect. The entire game instantly came to life.
“Grandpa, you’re amazing.” Li Yi was amazed by his grandfather’s move.
“How so? I didn’t think of this move. The last time I played chess with Old Wang in the alley, we also encountered such a dead end. We all thought that we couldn’t continue anymore. An especially good-looking young lady helped us. Didn’t this move save the game?”
Li Yi was shocked by the old man’s words. If this method was not accidental, then it must be advanced chess skills.
“Grandpa, do you know that person?”
“No.” The old man shook his head. Li Yi clenched the chess pieces in his hand in disappointment.
“However, that lady seems to be a celebrity who attended the poetry meet. Your grandmother likes her.” Old Master Li called out to the old lady in the kitchen. “Old Madam, what’s the name of the little girl you like?”
“Xia Wanyuan.” Hearing her old man mention this, the old lady walked out with a knife. There was still red oil on the knife after the sausage was cut. “My good grandson, let me tell you. That girl is especially good looking. She’s generous and polite. Aiyo, in the future, you have to look for a wife like this.”
“Hey, old lady, we’re talking about serious matters. Why are you saying this?” Before Li Yi could speak, Old Master Li scolded his old lady. “Your grandmother is like this.”
“Xia Wanyuan?” Li Yi had never paid attention to the entertainment industry and was focused on chess. Hence, he was not familiar with this name. However, since she could revive a game of dead chess, Li Yi still remembered her name.
In the meeting room in Continent M, the lawyer confirmed with the man sitting in front again.
“Mr. Blue, please confirm for the last time. If there’s no mistake, please sign on it. After signing, this will will have a legal effect.”
“I’m sure.” The man in the seat nodded. He had been tortured by his illness all year round, but he could not hide the heroic spirit in his eyes.
“Okay, please sign.” The pen was handed over.
The man took the pen and signed his name with a slight tremble.
After the notary team and the lawyer left, the young boy standing behind the man stepped forward to take the wheelchair and pushed the man out. “Mr. Blue, Continent M is a mess. Didn’t you not want her to get involved in the past?”
“I saw the information you gave me. She’s such a good child. If she wants it and dares to ask for it, I’ll leave all of it to her. If she doesn’t want it, I won’t force her.”
“Mr. Blue, you’ve put in a lot of effort.” Fang Jin sighed in his heart. The cold-blooded and heartless Mr. Blue in the eyes of outsiders also had such a gentle side that was considerate for someone else in every way possible.
“Fang Jin, I saw the previous information. Does she have a performance during Chinese New Year?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Go and get a ticket from the officials. In the name of business communication, I want to take a look.”
“Yes, sir.”
