"Since Yu Shan also knows how to play chess, why don't you play a game with Grandma and Dr. Shen?" Jiang Jie wanted to curry favor with Lu Yu Shan, seizing every opportunity to help her win the favor of Xu Zhi Lan.
"Alright! But I don't know that much." Lu Yu Shan was eager to try, but outwardly modest.
She not only wanted to please Xu Zhi Lan, but also to suppress Shen Xi.
Although she hadn't attended Go training classes as a child, her grandfather was a Go master, and she had learned a lot of his true teachings.
Her Go skill was not inferior to those who had achieved professional ranks.
She was still upset about the treatment she received at the restaurant last night.
This was a perfect opportunity to properly punish that arrogant and unreasonable woman.
"No need. I don't need anyone to help me," Xu Zhi Lan said, slightly displeased.
However, Shen Xi's fighting spirit was ignited by their words.
Since Lu Yu Shan wanted to challenge her, she would give her a chance to experience how she would "die."
"Old Madam, that would be fine. I can explain the game to you while I play," Shen Xi said with a smile to Xu Zhi Lan.
"Alright. I'll listen to Dr. Shen," Xu Zhi Lan finally agreed and moved to another armchair.
Lu Yu Shan immediately took her original seat, and the two resumed their intense game.
After a few rounds, Lu Yu Shan began to fall behind. Su Cheng Yu secretly stood behind her, whispering a few pointers.
She quickly regained her advantage.
Shen Xi, while playing and explaining to Xu Zhi Lan, did not notice Lu Yu Shan's cheating.
However, Qin Si Yue saw everything. Feeling indignant, he pouted and said, "Cheng Yu Ge, don't you know it's bad manners to comment while watching a game? You've studied Go, shouldn't you feel ashamed?"
Everyone else looked at him in unison.
"I... I didn't say anything? You must have misheard," Su Cheng Yu denied, trying to argue his way out.
Shen Xi smiled dismissively and gestured to Qin Si Yue not to say anything further, indicating she had her own methods.
Since this pair of lovebirds was ganging up on her, she would dig a trap and bury them both in front of everyone.
Qin Si Yue didn't know what Shen Xi was planning and remained worried about her.
He couldn't help but walk behind her, offering her moral support.
Shen Xi remained composed and skillfully lured the enemy deeper.
As she was being surrounded by Lu Yu Shan, losing more and more territory,
And just as she was feeling smug, Shen Xi unexpectedly made a few moves, connecting pre-set stones on the side to form a "shut the door and beat the dog" formation.
Soon, she had annihilated the opponent's pieces.
The outcome of the game was clear at this point.
Before everyone could react, Shen Xi was calmly explaining the essence of these moves to Xu Zhi Lan.
"That's great! Dr. Shen won!" Qin Si Yue was the first to react, clapping excitedly.
Lu Yu Shan, however, was unconvinced. She glanced up at Shen Xi and said, "How is that possible? You must have swapped the stones earlier!"
"Do you think everyone else cheats openly like you?" Qin Si Yue glared at her sharply.
He couldn't understand how his brother, such a sincere and upright person, could get involved with such a woman with malicious intentions.
"I didn't," Lu Yu Shan, like a cooked duck, refused to admit it.
"If you're not as skilled, just admit it. There's no need to falsely accuse others. You might just end up hurting yourself," Qin Si Ye's voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Si Yue.
"Si Ye, you're here." Upon seeing Qin Si Ye, Xu Zhi Lan pointed at Lu Yu Shan, her face instantly lighting up with a happy smile. "Look how amazing Xi Xi is, she defeated this annoying woman for me."
At these words, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xu Zhi Lan, who had just regained her senses, why had she suddenly become confused again.
