The elders seemed to be very up to date.
However, Tang Li did not care about celebrities. She quickly changed the topic. “Grandpas, do you think Third Miss of the Jiang family will be willing to marry the young master of the Tang family?”
“I don’t think she has a choice. Otherwise, if her soul is really stolen, things will get serious.”
“So what you mean is that the Jiang family forced her to marry?”
“That’s true, but this is also for the good of the Third Miss of the Jiang family. Otherwise, she will really marry a ghost.”
Tang Li rested her chin on her hand, and her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement. “Since they said that there is a ghost in the Jiang family, why don’t they hire a master to evict it?”
“Well…”
“Actually, we’re also curious about that, but the Jiang family doesn’t admit that there are ghosts.”
“They shut their door on all the masters who offered to help.”
“Strange? Then… Can the rest of the Jiang family see ghosts?”
“We don’t know about that.”
Tang Li lowered her eyes, pretending to be lost in thought.
Could that ghost be Jiang Jingyu?
In that case, Jiang Jingyu was married and had children. Were these his descendants now?
But it didn’t make sense.
If he got married and had children, why did he become a ghost?
Tang Li was extremely curious.
“Hey, little girl.”
Tang Li raised her eyes to look at the old man who called her.
The old man said, “These are just rumors people talk to kill time. The Jiang family has never come out to confirm it. Don’t take it too seriously. Just treat it as a pastime.”
Another old man added, “The Jiang family is a tea merchant by trade and is pretty rich. Maybe it’s because their daughter doesn’t want to get married so she let out this kind of rumor to scare people.”
Although the old men all believed in ghosts, they decided to make the girl believe in science.
Tang Li nodded and said seriously, “Grandpas, don’t worry. Actually, I’ve always felt that there are no ghosts in this world. Perhaps many things are man-made. We have to believe in science.”
“Yes, yes, yes. You young people should believe in science.”
Tang Li continued to nod while asking, “When will Third Miss and Young Master of the Tang family get married? Maybe we can go and join the fun before we leave.”
The group of elders was speechless.
While Tang Li was gossiping with a group of elders, Qi Yihan started playing chess with an old man who claimed to be the best player of them all.
When the two of them were halfway down, everyone nearby gathered to watch the match.
Later, even Tang Li and the elders were attracted by it.
At this moment, everyone was discussing who would win.
“Most likely, Old Zhang. He has never lost to any of us before.”
“Not necessarily. Can’t you see that this young man actually has some advantages?’
“Be patient. Every time Old Zhang plays chess, he’ll deliberately go easy on his opponent in the early stages. In the end, he caught his opponent off guard.”
“That’s true. This young man is still too young. He definitely doesn’t realize that he will lose miserably later.”
“How did you know that he would lose miserably later? Maybe he’s deliberately going easy on that grandpa.”
The sudden voice made everyone look at Tang Li at the same time.
Tang Li raised her chin at them and said confidently, “My husband is very good at chess.”
Although she had never seen Qi Yihan play chess, she believed that he was very good at it.
The old men glanced at Tang Li and shook their heads at the same time. They looked like they already knew the result and did not want to argue with her. They withdrew their gazes and continued watching the two people playing chess.
Tang Li was speechless.
This game lasted for nearly an hour and a half. As it progressed, other than Qi Yihan, who was sitting like a mountain and the old man opposite him, the others were all nervous.
At the last few moves, the old man opposite Qi Yihan finally looked solemn and slowed down his speed.
Qi Yihan remained calm and composed.
After the old man finally put down the chess piece in his hand, Qi Yihan followed suit, devouring the rest of the old man’s pieces.
The old man opposite him was shocked.
The other elders were shocked too.
Tang Li clapped her hands happily and said, “I told you my husband is very good at chess.”
These words made everyone look at her.
Qi Yihan said to the old man opposite him, “Nice playing with you.”
Then, he stood up and walked to Tang Li.
Tang Li smiled at him and said, “Hubby, you’re amazing.”
Qi Yihan couldn’t help but smile. He tucked her hair behind her ear and said, “Let’s go. It’s about time to cook and eat.”
Tang Li nodded and said to the group of elders, “Goodbye, grandpas.”
“Hey, young friend, please wait.”
Mr. Zhang, who was playing chess with Qi Yihan, stopped him and walked over. “You are very skilled. Why don’t we play another round?”
“It’s a little late today,” Qi Yihan said. “My wife and I will stay here for a few days. If you want to play chess, I have time tomorrow morning.”
“That’s good. We’ll make two more rounds here at six in the morning. You must come.”
“Sure.”
After agreeing, Qi Yihan walked out of the park with Tang Li.
The sound of a group of elders discussing them came from behind.
“These two young men are really good-looking, especially that man. One look and you can tell that he is not an ordinary person. Why are they in an ordinary residential area like this?”
“I heard from that girl that they’re here for a vacation. Her husband is an engineer. They don’t want to go to a crowded place, so they came here.”
“I see. I said they don’t look like ordinary people.”
“That girl looks so good. If she wasn’t married, I would introduce my grandson to her.”
“They are indeed a perfect match.”
…
Qi Yihan suddenly held Tang Li’s hand and squeezed it.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him with a smile in her eyes. Then, she told him the gossip she had heard. “…I think the Jiang family is the descendant we’re looking for. They will marry their daughter off to the Tang family the day after tomorrow. Why don’t we go to the wedding?”
“Sure. I’ll go to the Jiang family to order a batch of tea leaves tomorrow. After I become their client, we can go to the wedding banquet unobstructed.”
“Hehe… That’s a good idea.”
The two of them walked hand in hand under the setting sun.
