Zhou Xu was somewhat puzzled, looking at the master’s current good mood. He couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean by that? Did someone in our family do something harmful to Miss Mei? That shouldn’t be, right?”
Lu Ting’s expression darkened, and he remained silent for a while.
Just when Zhou Xu regretted asking too much, Lu Ting suddenly stood up from the sofa again, his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Come with me to see that old fellow Su Zhi, who’s still recuperating at Lu Si’s place. Don’t let him die here.”
His words might sound harsh, but those close to him knew that Lu Ting was concerned about Su Zhi’s health.
Zhou Xu quickly changed the subject, laughing heartily, “Don’t worry, Old Master Su looks quite sturdy. It won’t be a problem for him to see Master Si’s child being born!”
Lu Ting’s smile returned, and the two of them leisurely walked to the villa at the back, where Su Zhi was downstairs playing Go with Lu Si.
Seeing them, Su Zhi warmly waved at them, with a proud look on his face. “You’ve come just in time. Watch how I defeat Ah Si later!”
Lu Ting sat down beside Lu Si disdainfully, appearing indifferent but secretly peeping at the chessboard. “Our Si won’t easily lose to an old fellow like you! Weren’t you feeling dizzy before? Why didn’t you lie down honestly in bed instead of coming downstairs to cause trouble!”
Su Zhi put down a Go piece and said casually, “I was just a little dizzy due to low blood sugar. It’s not like I’m paralyzed. Why can’t I come down for a walk? The doctor said some exercise is beneficial for health. What do you know?”
Lu Ting snorted and glanced at the chessboard, nudging Lu Si’s arm discreetly. “There! Listen to me!”
“Hey, you old troublemaker, what’s your business here? We’re playing Go, what do you want?” Su Zhi grumbled. “Ah Si, don’t listen to him. Play as you wish.”
Lu Si was caught in between the two old men, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Following his usual moves, he placed a piece on the board.
Lu Ting grimaced as he watched. “How could you place it there? Didn’t you see he’s about to take your other piece?”
Lu Si patiently reassured him, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I have my own plans.”Checkk new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆lbin(.)com
After saying this, he played several moves against Su Zhi. Gradually, Su Zhi’s apparent advantage turned into a desperate situation, with no chance of a comeback.
Staring at the chessboard for a while, Su Zhi finally sighed and returned the pieces to the box. “I lost. I didn’t expect this kid to scheme against me here! Quite cunning!”
Lu Si couldn’t help but smile, “Grandpa, you let me win.”
Su Zhi silently began to put away the Go pieces.
Lu Ting, however, had already pushed Lu Si aside and sat in his place, grabbing the chessboard, assuming a stubborn stance, “Come on, don’t rush to clean up. Play with me too! We all know how bad you are at Go.”
Su Zhi was provoked by him, fiercely slamming the Go pieces in front of him, “You’re the one who’s bad at Go! Let’s play! But we need something at stake!”
Lu Ting sneered, looking smug, “Fine, what do you want to bet?”
Su Zhi’s eyes gleamed with calculation. “I heard you impersonated me before and cheated a few packs of tea from the Mei family?”
Lu Ting’s alarm bells rang immediately, hastily throwing the Go pieces, “What are you trying to say?”
Su Zhi squinted, looking cunning, “Let’s use that as the stake. How about it? If I lose, I’ll give you all the tea I have. If you lose, you’ll give yours to me and personally apologize to Mei Shu at Mei’s house!”
“Why should I?”
Lu Ting instinctively objected, “1 don’t agree! Let’s change the stake! Why are you so obsessed with those few packs of tea? Are you a water buffalo? Do you need to drink that much tea?”
“Then don’t bother, just say if you dare to bet.” Su Zhi deliberately provoked him, knowing his bad temper.
Lu Ting hesitated for a moment. But with Lu Si present, eventually, he impatiently agreed, “Fine, fine, let’s bet. 1’11 definitely win today!”
Soon, the living room echoed with the crisp sound of two old men playing Go.
Early the next morning.
Lu Ting dressed neatly and stood at the door of the Mei residence.
Zhao Yan hurriedly let him in and also informed Mei Shu and Mei Yan.
“Mr. Lu, why did you come so early? Is something urgent?”
“There is.” Lu Ting’s face was stern, looking somewhat displeased.
Soon, Mei Yan, accompanied by Mei Shu, descended the stairs, yawning.
Upon seeing them, Lu Ting’s expression worsened, but his hands were placed unnaturally on his legs, fidgeting as if he were very nervous.
Mei Shu asked curiously, “Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?”
Lu Ting squared his shoulders, staring straight at her with a debt-collecting demeanor.. “Mei Shu, I’m here today to tell you, I’m sorry!”
