Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220 Accepting the Challenge 6
Wang Zimei couldn’t help but complain to Yi Yujian’s mother, Wang Zili, criticizing Chang Danran and even calling her a vixen who had charmed her son.
Wang Zili couldn’t listen anymore: "Sister, as long as Ye Chao likes her, why are you bothering? The older generation doesn’t interfere with the younger generation’s affairs. Both of their children are grown up already. Why keep a stern face? This will only make Ye Chao drift away from you. I don’t see anything wrong with Danran. Although her family background is ordinary, marrying a virtuous wife is important, not to mention she has given Ye Chao such a big son."
Wang Zimei flared up upon hearing this: "Since the fire hasn’t reached your house, of course, you’re speaking lightly. Why don’t you ask your son to marry an ordinary girl? Even Yujian has to marry the best man. Now that everything has gone well for you, you live better than me, and here you are lecturing me. Are you still my sister?"
Wang Zili was simply speechless: "What kind of words are these? I only hope for your family to be harmonious."
Wang Zimei felt a sense of imbalance, her sister’s children all married well, but what about her own?
Wang Zimei’s voice was full of bitterness: "I still have Qiongqiong. She’s the new national treasure now."
Currently, Xia Qiongqiong was the only thing she could boast about, and no one could gloat over her misfortune.
Wang Zili shook her head: "I can’t be bothered to talk to you."
After speaking, Wang Zili walked away.
At this moment, the banquet hadn’t officially started yet, and Yi Yujian was already adeptly engaging Wang Laoye and Ye Xingguang in a game of chess.
Feeling a bit bored, Wang Laoye instructed someone to set up the chessboard in the living room.
Yi Yujian said: "Grandfather, this is my sister-in-law. I’ve recently learned that she’s very interested in Go, so I specifically invited her over for you to give her some guidance."
Wang Laoye looked at Ye Xingguang meaningfully, stroked his white beard, and invited Ye Xingguang to make the first move.
Ye Junqing and Ye Shiting stood by watching, while Yi Yujian personally brought over some tea and snacks, also watching from the side.
"Mr. Wang, please teach me."
After speaking, Ye Xingguang placed a piece.
The black and white pieces on the chessboard moved back and forth, and the game began in a gentle manner, with everyone being courteous.
Guests gradually arrived for Wang Laoye’s birthday banquet, and upon hearing that Wang Laoye was instructing a younger person in chess, those old gentlemen similar in age to Wang Laoye also came to join the fun.
Seeing that Wang Laoye was actually playing chess with a young girl, they couldn’t help but laugh: "Old Wang, I didn’t expect you to have such interest."
After speaking, he said to Ye Xingguang: "Young lady, you dare to play chess with Old Wang? Such commendable courage, Old Wang, you have to be a bit lenient with her, don’t bully her just because you’re the birthday star."
The speaker was Han Chengbei’s father, Han Laoye.
Han Laoye had his son Han Chengbei late in life, so he was not young, only a few years younger than Wang Laoye. After retiring, he enjoyed playing chess with Wang Laoye, becoming chess buddies, although he had never won against Wang Laoye, which was terribly frustrating!
It was precisely his resilient spirit that made Han Laoye fight harder as he lost more.
Thinking of his disastrous losses, Han Laoye couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic towards Ye Xingguang. This young lady was not being courageous; she clearly didn’t understand the danger.
Fortunately, losing to an elder isn’t something embarrassing. Playing chess with Wang Laoye is likely a sort of honor for the younger generations, and in the future, it could even be something to brag about.
