Novel Bin Chapter 129 - 129 Chess Expert
Yuan Xiao felt that it was probably because of the Academic Genius System that she had a photographic memory, and her mind was especially clear.
Yuan Xiao could roughly see Fang Ming’s intentions. The entire game of chess was under Fang Ming’s control. Seeing that Fang Ming was about to win, Grandpa Fang could not sit still.
Looking at the chess game in which he had gradually approached his death, Grandpa Fang frowned unhappily. “Ah Ming, you’re really capable in chess. I think I’m definitely going to lose this round.”
!!
Fang Ming wanted his grandfather to take a closer look. In order to let his grandfather win, Fang Ming had put in a lot of effort. However, it was obvious that his grandfather had yet to discover it.
“I’ve lost this round. It’s obvious that I’m dead!”
Grandpa Fang really could not think of a way to break out of this situation. Just as he was about to admit defeat, he heard a clear and pleasant voice behind him. “Grandpa, you can take this step.”
Under everyone’s gazes, Yuan Xiao helped Grandpa Fang make a move.
“This…” Grandpa Fang originally thought that this little girl was here to cause trouble, but when he saw Yuan Xiao helping him move the chess piece, his expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise. “This chess game is live again! Why didn’t I think of this step!”
Fang Ming was also very surprised. He did not expect Yuan Xiao to know how to play chess. Fang Ming glanced at the chessboard and casually took a step.
“Girl, come and take a look. What should I do next?” Grandpa Fang pulled Yuan Xiao over and asked her to continue playing chess for him.
Yuan Xiao had already understood Fang Ming’s train of thought. She thought about it seriously for a while and took another step. The situation of the entire game was reversed.
“Alright, this chess game is really good!” Grandpa Fang got up and sat on the chair beside him. He let Yuan Xiao completely replace him and sit opposite Fang Ming.
“I didn’t expect you to really know how to play chess, Xiao Xiao!” Although Meng Zhu could not understand who was the winner, judging from everyone’s reaction, it proved that Yuan Xiao definitely knew how to play chess.
“It’s more than that. Sister Yuan Xiao might be able to beat Ah Ming.” Yue Ze watched the commotion from the side. He felt that he could discover many surprises from Yuan Xiao.
Yue Ping stood beside her brother. When she saw that everyone’s gaze was on Yuan Xiao, she felt very upset. She thought of Fang Yao, who had yet to return, and turned around to walk out of the hall.
Fang Yao notified the kitchen and saw Butler Zhou in the courtyard when he returned.
“Second Young Master.”
Uncle Zhou was Fang Yao’s father, Fang Yuan’s assistant when he was young. Because he was very serious and careful, Fang Yuan arranged for him to take care of Old Master Fang’s daily life.
“Hello, Uncle Zhou. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Grandpa.” Fang Yao had seen Butler Zhou when he was very young, so he respected him as an elder.
“The old man is healthy and not muddle-headed. I don’t need to take care of anything. Second Young Master, you’re being too serious.” Uncle Zhou was very satisfied with his job in the Fang family. Grandpa Fang treated the servants very well.
“Uncle Zhou, you go ahead with your work. I’ll go back first.” Fang Yao was worried about Yuan Xiao. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Uncle Zhou.
“Second Young Master, although my status is not suitable, there are some things I still have to say to you.” Uncle Zhou had always been by Old Master Fang’s side. It could be said that he knew Old Master Fang the best.
“Go ahead.” Fang Yao turned around and walked back, patiently waiting for Uncle Zhou to speak.
“I know that Second Young Master doesn’t like being a soldier, and he doesn’t like the Yue family’s little granddaughter either.” Uncle Zhou knew that Fang Yao had been unhappy with the old master because of these two matters. At that time, he was unwilling to come back for a long time.
Fang Yao did not expect Uncle Zhou to mention these two matters, but he did not interrupt him and quietly listened to what he was about to say.
“The old master is actually very concerned about Second Young Master. He told me privately that among these juniors, you’re the one who is most similar to him.”
Uncle Zhou’s words moved Fang Yao. He knew that although his grandfather usually looked strict, he had always cared about him.
Seeing that Fang Yao was deep in thought, Uncle Zhou added, “That’s why Old Master has high expectations for Second Young Master.”
“He has high expectations, so he wants me to do something I don’t like and marry someone I don’t like?” Speaking of this, Fang Yao still had a knot in his heart. He did not understand why his grandfather was so persistent about getting him and Yue Ping married.
“If you don’t want to join the army, the old man has already accepted it. However, you can’t blame your grandfather for the marriage with the Yue family…” Uncle Zhou thought for a moment and explained, “Second Young Master, do you know why the Fang family has such a good relationship with the Yue family?”
