"Come in and speak." Old Master Gu slowly stood up.
When Old Master Lin saw that he was about to leave, he immediately said, "Old Zhou, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up, you know Old Gu's chess skills. If you come now, you can win against me right away."
"Hey old man, you're getting up there in years but still here cracking jokes at my expense. You think that's appropriate?" Despite his words, Old Zhou still slowly ambled over and took a seat beside the chessboard.
Here is the translation with original HTML tags retained:Qiao Nanxi glanced at them, politely nodded, and then entered the Gu family villa.
Instead of taking her upstairs, Old Master Gu asked after isolating them from the others, "You came to ask about A She's news?"
"Yes." Qiao Nanxi nodded, then thought of something and said again, "The children wanted to ask if Guoqing will come back. They haven't seen him for a long time and miss him a little."
The old man Gu's aged eyes kept scanning her. After a long while, he finally said, "No, he's fine. If there's anything you want to pass on to him, you can let me deliver it."
"Okay, thank you." Qiao Nanxi was visibly relieved.
Then, without waiting for Old Master Gu to send him away, Qiao Nanxi politely said, "I won't take up any more of Grandpa Gu's time. I'll head back first."
Old Master Gu frowned with dissatisfaction. According to reason, Qiao Nanxi should have been a little anxious, but now she left on her own, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Qiao Nanxi came out, Old Zhou had already won against Old Master Lin. He happily said to Qiao Nanxi, "Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, do you know how to play chess? Why don't you play a round with us old fellows?"
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Qiao Nanxi was stunned, not expecting them to be so enthusiastic.
However, Qiao Nanxi did not agree, but instead looked behind her at Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu looked at them with dissatisfaction: "What are you trying to do? Are you not satisfied with losing to me alone, but also want to suffer at the hands of my granddaughter-in-law?"
"Hahaha...Beating you Gu family members is equivalent to beating you, isn't it?" Old Zhou didn't feel there was anything wrong.
Old Master Gu raised his eyebrows, "Do you know how to play? If you do, then accompany these old men and play with them for a bit."
"Well, I shall respectfully comply then." Qiao Nanxi politely nodded her head.
She walked over to where Old Master Lin had been sitting and began to battle wits with Old Master Zhou.
Speaking of playing chess, it was also one of her favorite things to do in her spare time in her previous life. Playing chess is something that completely immerses a person.
Old Zhou's chess skills were not very good, so he quickly lost the game.
Old Zhou, unwilling to admit defeat, said to Old Master Gu, "Old Gu, come on, let's see if you can beat your grandson's wife."
Here is the translation to English with the original HTML tags retained:Just now when they were playing chess, the old master saw that Qiao Nanxi had a bit of cleverness, but only a bit.
"You old man, you just love watching our family fight amongst ourselves like this?" Old Master Gu said this, but still sat down with a smile.
Old man Zhou was amused by Old Master Gu's words: "Didn't you say that your second grandson is very capable? Then the wife he found must be pretty good too. You just saw her chess skills, which I can't match, but as her grandfather, you should be very capable, right?"
Yuan Xianger paused just as she was about to enter the room, and the smile on her face faded considerably.
If her husband had heard what she had just said, he would probably be very angry.
Seeing that Old Master Gu had already started playing chess, Qiao Nanxi politely clasped her hands and began to engage with his chess pieces without any hesitation.
At first, Qiao Nanxi took a defensive approach, only launching an offensive when she was on the verge of winning the game on the chessboard.
On the other hand, Old Master Gu underestimated her to some extent, which led to his increasingly disadvantageous position. Everyone watched this scene attentively, unwilling to miss a single chess piece of theirs.
It took a full hour before the winner was determined.
In the end, it was Old Master Gu who won, but only after Qiao Nanxi had conceded, allowing Old Master Gu to claim a narrow victory.
"Not bad, no wonder you caught Gu She's attention. Your chess skills are truly excellent. Remember to come back often to play chess with us in the future," Old Man Zhou was the first to applaud.
Qiao Nanxi smiled humbly.
"Indeed, you are young but your chess skills are so superb. In this world, the number of people who can narrowly defeat Old Gu can be counted on one hand, and now there's one more - you. In the future, you must practice with us often." Master Lin also expressed his agreement.
Here is the English translation with the original HTML tags preserved:Qiao Nanxi did not speak, but instead looked towards Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu sighed, "You've already said all the nice things, what more can I say? From now on, come back often and kill off these two old men!"
"Hey you old Gu, I will definitely practice my chess skills well," Old Zhou said with dissatisfaction.
Qiao Nanxi was amused and chatted with them for a while before bidding farewell with cupped hands.
Yuan Xianger had already asked someone to cook. Seeing that she was about to leave, she hurriedly walked over, "Sister-in-law, are you leaving now? Why don't you stay for a meal?"
"No need, sister-in-law. The children are still waiting for me at home." Besides, she came here to get news about Gu She.
Now that she already knew, and had been delayed here for a while, she should have gone back earlier.
Here is the content translated into English with the original HTML tags preserved:Yuan Xianger nodded and turned to attend to her own affairs.
Seeing that Qiao Nanxi had no intention of insisting on staying, Old Master Gu's impression of her improved quite a bit.
However, Qiao Nanxi had already made a good impression on him from the start. Last time, because of the Qian family matter, he had indeed been angry with Qiao Nanxi, but now it seemed he had been too petty.
Although Qiao Nanxi is somewhat different from those women, her family's social status is ultimately not quite up to par.
In the future, Gu She will be the successor of the Gu family, and Qiao Nanxi is probably not a good match for him.
Qiao Nanxi didn't know what was on Old Master Gu's mind, and she hurried home.
Before she even entered the house, she saw a crowd of people standing at the entrance of the Lin family.
Judging by their attire, they were either wealthy or noble. Qiao Nanxi glanced at them and then walked towards her own home.
At this time, the four little ones were watching the commotion. Upon seeing Qiao Nanxi's return, Gu Qing was the most enthusiastic.
Gu Qing ran over and hugged Qiao Nanxi's leg: "Mom, mom you're back! Qingqing missed you so much!"
"Mom misses Qingqing very much too, but what are you and your brothers doing here?" Qiao Nanxi looked at the three heads, even Aiyowei had a gossipy look on his face.
Aiyowei felt very embarrassed when Qiao Nanxi looked at him, and immediately shrank his neck, "Hehe, Sister Xixi, you're back. Why didn't you tell us in advance? We could have gone to pick you up!"
Here is the translation to English, with the original HTML tags preserved:"Cut the crap, don't you think I know what's on your mind?" Qiao Nanxi said as he embraced Gu Qing and entered the house.
As soon as the door closed, Qiao Nanxi asked, "What happened with the Lin family? Is it Lin Wan?"
If something happened to Lin Wan, no matter what, she would definitely go to help. But if it happened to someone else, it would have nothing to do with her.
Although Ye Anya is the mother of the children, she has no relationship with her whatsoever. She is not the kind of person who would shamelessly try to ingratiate herself with someone who treats her badly.
When Old Master Lin saw that he was about to leave, he immediately said, "Old Zhou, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up, you know Old Gu's chess skills. If you come now, you can win against me right away."
