Chapter 1107: Chapter 652: First Visit to the Si Family, Worlds of Ice and Fire (Part 2)
And he squatted in the bathroom for too long, You Yunzhi frowned and walked to the living room, "Whereâs the person?"
"Bathroom."
"Still not out? How long has he been in there?"
"Over ten minutes." The man looked down at his watch, this kid...
Is it constipation?
In there for so long?
Anyway, Jiang Chengsi simply couldnât play chess, he was just being crushed, anyone proficient could see he was just a little rookie, yet Mr. Si still played with him enthusiastically.
Jiang Chengsi seemed to have found some feeling for chess, the more setbacks the braver, but the record was tragic, never won once...
Mr. Si kept watching him, his facial expressions were particularly rich, pretty entertaining.
Later, You Yunzhi asked her husband, "You know he canât play chess, and you kept winning against a kid, arenât you embarrassed?"
"Iâve never seen such poor chess skills, yet so bold, playing against me. Watching his frustration, itâs quite interesting."
"Are you mentally twisted? If you go racing against him, youâd only be his defeated opponent, using your expertise to make things difficult for a kid, arenât you embarrassed?"
"But I didnât expect that he actually could sit still." Losing consecutive chess games, ordinary people would have been jumping in anxiety, showing impatience.
"So I say this kid is really good..."
...
Jiang Chengsi went home after dinner, probably didnât expect that because of him, the Si Family couple ended up in an intense discussion.
Even until the legendary Miss Si returned home, the couple were still arguing.
When she learned the focus of her parentsâ argument was Jiang Chengsi, she was slightly surprised.
"Jiang Chengsi?" She had received the invitation for the full month banquet yesterday.
Attending a full month banquet, surely cannot be empty-handed, things like gold and silver jewelry would likely have been given, she wanted to make a little Tang suit for Tang Wanâs child.
Specifically went out to choose fabric, ran quite far, left in the morning, returned after dark, didnât have time to go home for dinner.
Almost missed crossing paths with Jiang Chengsi.
"Yes, he came over for dinner today, your dad, flaunting his seniority, bullied him..." You Yunzhi immediately complained to her daughter.
"Had dinner at our house?" She pursed her lips.
Actually missed him...
She just happened to be out today.
"Indeed, and accompanied your dad playing chess for two hours, bullied by your dad something fierce."
"When did I ever bully him?"
The couple werenât really arguing, merely bantering, their attention was on each other, not noticing the hint of regret and melancholy on their daughterâs face.
However, Jiang Chengsi was considered famous at the Si Family, able to cause Mr. and Mrs. a "dispute", very rare indeed.
He was not only the first outsider to the Si Family but also the primary culprit causing Mr. and Mrs. Si to argue. The Si Family could only marvel...
Master Jiang indeed had the ability to stir up significant matters, no wonder heâs called an anomaly, truly causing a stir wherever he goes.
Little did they know, later this Si Family...
Would genuinely be unable to stay calm.
**
Jiang Chengsi had no idea of the events that followed, once the invitation was delivered, he felt entirely relieved.
Though the coupleâs contrasting attitudes let him experience a taste of ice and fire, fortunately, he got through it peacefully.
He hadnât anticipated any future entanglements with the Si Family or opportunities to play chess with Mr. Si again.
Just people involved in competitive sports inherently possess a sense of competitiveness, todayâs chess defeat frustrated him deeply; after returning home, he didnât play games, didnât go to bars or clubs.
Nestled on the sofa, downloaded a chess game, started pondering how to play chess.
With Xiaowaiâs full month banquet approaching, the Jiang Family became lively, even though it was deep into the coldest lunar month, the entire Beijing seemed to be enveloped in a joyous atmosphere.
