Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221 Accepting the Challenge 7
Ye Xingguang and Elder Wang were playing chess, always maintaining an even pace. In the early stage, nothing seemed noticeable, but as they entered the second half, Elder Han, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but sit up straight. This game, somewhere along the line, had become extremely dangerous!
Elder Han understood chess, but he couldn’t outplay Elder Wang. Watching closely, he couldn’t help but get nervous, inadvertently siding with Ye Xingguang. Seeing the tense moment, he couldn’t refrain from offering advice: “Little girl, take this move, take this move. Trust Grandpa, it’s right.”
Ye Junqing had already sat beside Ye Xingguang at some point, half-hugging her. Hearing Elder Han’s words, he gently coughed, “Elder Han, don’t you know it’s a bad form to intrude when watching others play chess?”
Elder Han glared at Ye Junqing, “You brat, no wonder my Chengbei keeps mentioning you. I’m only doing this for your little wife, ah, how could you move there, this isn’t…”
Before Elder Han could finish his sentence, Ye Xingguang already cut through a corner in the dire straits, breaking the deadlock.
Elder Han was stunned for a moment, wiped his beard and pondered, as if suddenly realizing something, he slapped his thigh, “Girl, that move is brilliant, truly too brilliant, why didn’t I think of that! Girl, I didn’t expect you to have such skills, keep going, keep going, don’t worry if you lose, just play a few more moves!”
Ye Xingguang looked at Elder Han, “Uncle Han, does Han Chengbei take after you in temperament?”
Speaking of his youngest son, Elder Han was immensely proud, “Of course, my son naturally takes after me.”
“I’m good friends with Han Chengbei.”
“That kid has mentioned you in front of me.” After saying that, Elder Han continued, “Concentrate on playing chess, don’t let your guard down, that old Wang has plenty of tricks, play well.”
Ye Xingguang nodded, “Yes.”
Grandpa is indeed too formidable; she was actually struggling to resist and naturally didn’t dare to let her guard down.
Elder Wang was simultaneously playing chess and observing Ye Xingguang. They say chess can reveal a person’s character; in truth, Elder Wang had long been paying attention to Ye Xingguang. With the conflict between Xia’s Family and her getting so intense, Elder Wang couldn’t possibly be unaware. Xia’s Family suspected she was Xia Qiongqiong.
Elder Wang nodded repeatedly in his heart. This child, her brows resemble his prematurely deceased daughter, which couldn’t help but stir his fatherly affection for her.
Elder Wang had three daughters: Wang Zili, Wang Zimei, and his youngest daughter, Wang Zilan.
Wang Zilan was Elder Wang’s favorite daughter, unfortunately, she passed away in her twenties.
The girl in front of him, Ye Xingguang, bore some resemblance to his youngest daughter Wang Zilan, most likely his little granddaughter.
It’s entirely normal for a girl to resemble her aunt in looks.
It was a pity this child was abandoned by his daughter since infancy, deeply hurt, unwilling to acknowledge her identity. Elder Wang felt for his granddaughter Xia Qiongqiong, whom he had never met, and couldn’t help but look at Ye Xingguang with added affection.
“Ah, girl, play here, play here, make a big move!” Elder Han, with poor chess etiquette, couldn’t stay quiet for long and once again couldn’t hold back from giving directions.
Elder Wang glared back at Elder Han: teaching ignorantly, this was a trap he had intentionally set.
Ye Xingguang had already seen through the trap and knew she couldn’t fall for it, so she didn’t heed Elder Han’s advice.
After thinking for a while, she placed the white piece somewhere else.
