Tu Yingying pouted in grievance, "Dear Aunt, you have to help !"
Tu ijiao sighed, "What does Zhu Yiming not have that he does?"
Lu Xinguo chid in, "If she doesn’t want to, then forget it. That Doctor Zhu might not even be interested in our Yingying!"
The more he spoke, the softer his voice beca. Tu ijiao, however, angrily retorted, "What’s wrong with our Yingying, who is she not good enough for?!"
Lu Xinguo quickly shrank back and turned away, pretending he hadn’t said anything!
Only then did Tu ijiao pat Tu Yingying’s hand, "Don’t worry, Aunt will definitely help you!"
...
After one win, one draw, and one loss in three gas, Lu Qingyuan shook his head, "Looks like I’m really getting old. Tongtong was only going easy on to get a draw!"
"No way, I also thought this ga was really tough!" Ji Niandong furrowed her brows, looking as if she was deep in thought but couldn’t find the answer.
Hearing Lu Qingyuan say it was over, she let out a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, she’s an actress, or it would be hard to discreetly hold back while pretending it was also challenging for her!
Lu Beichen noticed this and pulled her up, saying, "You’ve been sitting for so long, it’s ti to get up and stretch!"
Lu Qingyuan also stood and patted Lu Beichen’s shoulder, "I can’t compare to you in chess, or to your wife!"
Lu Beichen chuckled lightly, "If your grandson wasn’t disinterested, maybe he might surpass you too!"
Lu Qingyuan frowned and glared at him, while Lu Sinian covered his mouth and laughed quietly.
"How co Tongtong is so good at chess? It’s rare for girls to know how to play!" He looked up and said, "I used to have a friend who was very skilled at chess!"
His face was full of nostalgia and longing. Ji Niandong replied obediently, "I once knew soone who taught a bit of chess. I also like it, so in my free ti, I’ve read a lot about it!"
"Then you’ve really taught yourself well!" Lu Qingyuan sincerely praised, "My friend was the sa, born with talent!"
He laughed heartily a few tis, then walked towards the living room, with Housekeeper Lu tily announcing, "It’s ti to eat!"
The dishes were served one by one, and the whole family gathered around the table again. Everyone was polite and cheerful on the surface today, but it was Lu Qingyuan who first spoke, "Last ti, I thought that Jiang Family’s child was nice. I heard he has the potential to join YT Entertainnt. His family background is good too. Sister, have you talked to Yingying about it?"
"Aunt, I don’t want to!" Tu Yingying exclaid anxiously upon hearing this and imdiately clung to Tu ijiao’s arm, whining.
This action, of course, was fully noticed by everyone. The displeasure in Lu Qingyuan’s eyes flashed by quickly as he quietly watched Tu ijiao.
Tu ijiao smiled and replied, "Brother, you saw it too. Yingying is still young and doesn’t understand much. Talking about marriage now is not quite appropriate. I plan to keep her a few more years; there’s no rush!"
Lu Qingyuan followed up, "Should I still look for soone for her?"
Tu ijiao hesitated a bit. If she agreed to help, given the person Lu Qingyuan chose this ti, though he’s a legitimate son of a prominent family, compared to the Lu Family, he’s not much. But if she didn’t agree to help and a suitable candidate erged, they might consider her niece precious, thanks to Lu Qingyuan.
After all, she didn’t have the guts to sche against Lu Beichen. The incident from six years ago still lingered vividly in her mind. What if it befell them one day...
Tu ijiao hesitated for a second, then smiled and replied, "It’s grateful enough having you care, brother!"
Her words were ambiguous, neither fully rejecting nor accepting.
Lu Qingyuan roughly understood her aning and laughed coldly, "One day, don’t regret it. A girl should find soone sooner rather than later!"
Before Tu ijiao could ponder the aning behind his words, Tu Yingying tugged at her arm again, "Aunt, there’s also that other matter!"
