Chapter 376 Old Master Shen Comes to the Door

The others who were just strolling around the castle were also attracted by this confrontation and curiously gathered around, forming several layers of people inside and outside.

Qiao Qiao was lucky that Shen Qingyan, a tall man, was holding her, otherwise she might not have been able to see anything.

As soon as Qiao Qiao was picked up by Shen Qingyan, she saw Grandpa Tan sipping his tea while gazing at the chessboard with a furrowed brow in deep thought.

Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Wang Mingcheng were also gathered around, as well as Yan Xiaotian, Yan Nongzhong, and others who had just arrived.

A group of people watched and discussed it enthusiastically.

Several others reached out and pointed, which only made Old Master Tan, who was already frowning, even more annoyed.

He simply raised his head and said, "You guys are practically shoving your fingers into my mouth, should I just give up my seat for you?! You're just talking nonsense, don't you know the true gentleman doesn't speak while watching a game of chess?!"

Talking about the old man is really annoying.

Originally, this chess game was played by Fu Yu, Tan Yan, and several other boys of the same age from the Yan family.

He watched for a while, seeing his grandson and the Yan family's boys all being defeated by Fu Yu in several rounds.

He watched anxiously from the sidelines, so he offered some guidance, only to be tricked by Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Wang into sitting on the table.

We've already gone all the way up; going down now would be out of line.

He thought that even if Fu Yu was good at chess, he couldn't possibly be better than him, who had been playing chess for decades.

He usually spends most of his time at the sanatorium playing chess, but he has virtually no opponents.

I don't think I'd be able to outlive an eight or nine-year-old child.

I was thinking of putting down Fu Yu's arrogance, so he wouldn't forget that there are always people more capable than you!

result--

In just half an hour, he went from being full of confidence to having a long, drawn-out face.

Even so, Grandpa Tan was still a little unconvinced. He angrily asked Fu Yu across from him, "Kid, how long have you been learning to play chess? You didn't cheat while I wasn't looking, did you?"

"..." Fu Yu.

Fu Yu calmly pointed to the people gathered around her, as if to say, "With so many people watching, do you think this is possible?"

"Haha, old buddy, if you can't win, just say so now. Surrender sooner rather than later, and you won't look so bad."

Old Master Chang stood behind Fu Yu and, seeing this, mocked him mercilessly.

"That's right, that's right. Surrendering sooner won't be too embarrassing. Hurry up and surrender. I don't think you have any hope in this game." Old Master Wang Mingcheng sat in the middle of the chessboard and echoed Old Master Chang's words.

The old man was so angry that even his beard twitched.

But should we just ask him to surrender?

That won't do.

He's so old, doesn't he have any pride?

Grandpa Tan stared intently at the chessboard, which was clearly beyond any hope of escape. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the cup he was holding tilted to the side, about to spill tea and all onto the chessboard.

Tan Yan, who was standing next to him in his chair, quickly reached out and cupped his hands.

"Grandpa, be careful," Tan Yan said to Grandpa Tan, holding the teacup in both hands.

"..." Old Master Tan.

"You're quite considerate, aren't you?" Old Master Tan looked up at him with a forced smile.

Tan Yan, the thoughtful grandson who rarely received praise from his grandfather, was overjoyed. His mouth stretched from ear to ear, and he began to act all cute.

He said to Grandpa Tan, "Grandpa, I'll hold this for you. Tell me when you want a drink and I'll bring it to you. Otherwise, if you get too focused on playing chess, you might spill it and ruin the chessboard."

"..." Talking about the old man, I feel like I'm having a heart attack.

But the heart attack was yet to come. Tan Hongwei saw that his father hadn't made a move for several minutes, so he couldn't help but urge him on: "Dad, it's your turn. Hurry up and make your move. After you lose, I'll play a game with Xiaoyu too."

"..." Old Master Tan.

Seeing the pale face of Grandpa Tan, which looked like he had been constipated for several days, Grandpa Chang, who used to play chess with Grandpa Tan often in the sanatorium and was always the one who would take back his moves and destroy the chessboard when he couldn't win, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter at this moment.

Pointing at Old Master Tan, he laughed unrestrainedly: "Old buddy, old buddy, you've finally met your match, huh? Hahahaha... Finally, someone's got to teach you a lesson, huh... Hahahaha..."

The others standing around also laughed.

Everyone was laughing, and Fu Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all. His expression remained calm and composed, but he subconsciously started looking for Qiao Qiao's figure in the crowd.

Sure enough, the moment he saw Qiao Qiao, he also saw the little person in the bubble above her head, eyeing his clever mind with predatory intent.

Just as Fu Yu was about to do something else to make the little person break the bubbles and climb onto him, Qiao Qiao turned her gaze away from him.

Qiao Qiao's attention was drawn to the butler rushing around at the front gate.

Qiao Qiao saw the housekeeper rush in through the door, his eyes quickly scanning the hall before heading towards her and Shen Qingyan.

Finally, it stopped in front of Yan Liti, who was standing in front of them.

The butler glanced at the many guests in the hall, thought for a couple of seconds, lowered his voice slightly, and said to Yan Liti, "Madam, Chief Shen, Chief Shen has arrived."

The butler's voice wasn't loud, and others might not have heard it clearly, but the sharp-eyed Qiao Qiao heard it perfectly.

Yan Liti's first reaction upon hearing this was to frown.

He muttered to himself, "What's this old geezer doing here?"

She didn't invite him.

The day after Shen Qingyan finished interrogating Shen Lu, Old Master Shen had already left the so-called detention.

The first thing they did upon arriving was to learn that Yan Liti, Shen Qingyan, and Qiao Qiao were in the castle, and then they rushed over.

However, Yan Liti, Shen Qingyan, and Qiao Changdong were not in the castle at that time.

The servants and bodyguards in the castle were all newly hired by Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan, and even the butler was newly hired; they all only listened to them.

Even though they knew Old Master Shen's identity, the bodyguards guarding the gate didn't let him in.

Grandpa Shen stayed up until nightfall. It was dark when Qiao Qiao and the others returned, and that's when they finally saw the group.

Even so, Qiao Qiao still didn't get to see Grandpa Shen.

Because her grandmother still hasn't approved his entry.

When they met Grandpa Shen at the gate, Yan Liti got out of the car first and let the car carrying her go into the castle first.

Qiao Qiao only learned about what she talked about with Grandpa Shen from Yan Liti afterwards.

It is said that Yan Liti's first impression of Old Master Shen was to launch into a tirade.

—Oh, you've been released. Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for you. Hurry up and give me back the divorce papers I gave you. Have you signed them? If you have, give them back to me. Don't drag it out, it's been a month already! At your age, you're still so inefficient.

Yan Liti said that when Grandpa Shen heard her say that, his face turned green.
