"No problem, grandpa, we are two against you, so we must be mentally prepared to lose." Gu Wangchuan pretended to have a chance of winning.
Mr. Gu was unconvinced and said: "It's not certain who will lose and who will win. After all, Miaomiao doesn't understand. Maybe I will win against you and your wife."
"It's still unclear who will win." Gu Wangchuan opened the chessboard and sat next to Su Miao.
Mr. Gu chose the black one, and the white one went to Su Miao.
Su Miao was a little nervous when she played Go for the first time. She whispered to Gu Wangchuan: "I have only played backgammon and never played Go. I know nothing about it."
"It doesn't matter, I'm by your side, go as you feel, and I'll be behind you." Gu Wangchuan made her blink, then turned to look at Mr. Gu opposite and said, "Grandpa, please."
Mr. Gu looked at the couple with a smile. They had had some interaction since morning.
Now they look more like a couple.
Mr. Gu made his first move.
Su Miao held the white piece and frowned slightly. She remembered that when she was watching TV, someone else put it next to the black piece, right?
So, she placed the chess piece next to the black piece, and then glanced at Gu Wangchuan, roughly asking whether she made the right move.
"Miaomiao, what do you think he is doing? Didn't you listen to what he said? You can bet casually in the early stage, and he will have the back-up, so don't be afraid." Mr. Gu teased and placed another bet.
Su Miao took a deep breath and followed her own feelings.
A few minutes later, Gu Wangchuan smiled helplessly.
Su Miao really knows nothing about playing chess.
But this isn't an important game in the first place, so it's just a matter of casual fun.
At the end, Su Miao really couldn't go down anymore, so she had to ask Gu Wangchuan for help: "I can't do it anymore, what should I do next?"
Hearing her pitiful tone, Gu Wangchuan felt as if he had been bullied. He simply held her hand and placed the chess piece in one of the places.
Su Miao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't expect that he would directly hold her hand and play chess.
The temperature of his skin was so hot that it seemed to be a little higher than the bright summer sun. It passed through the palm of his hand to the back of her hand, and finally fell into his heart. Every cell in his body was boiling.
Su Miao couldn't help but tremble slightly. When she raised her eyes, she noticed that Mr. Gu and Leng Qingqiu had looks of satisfaction in their eyes at the same time. She swayed slightly and suddenly realized that Gu Wangchuan's action was intentional.
He did this action specifically to show the illusion of their love in front of his elders.
Su Miao's heart, which had just been beating, suddenly sank again. Everything was staged on purpose.
What is she so happy about?
Gu Wangchuan guided her in the next game of chess.
Occasionally there would be some intimate interactions, but after Su Miao realized that he was just performing for the elders, he no longer felt the throb.
After going through so much, she is no longer the little girl who could get excited for a long time even if Gu Wangchuan gave her a piece of fake candy.
After playing a game, Su Miao lost, and she breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her lips and she said, "Grandpa, let Ah Chuan play chess with you. I'm really not a chess player."
"How about another plate?" Mr. Gu said.
Su Miao cast her eyes for help on Gu Wangchuan.
Once she is asked to do something she is not good at, she will become nervous, helpless, and even panicked.
All this is because from the day she and Gu Wangchuan confirmed their marriage, Su Qingfeng instilled in her ears that her words and deeds will represent the Gu family and the Su family, so she must play the role of Mrs. Gu well and pay attention to herself.
Behavior should not be embarrassing.
Therefore, when she encounters something unfamiliar to her, she will behave like this.
Gu Wangchuan sensed Su Miao's uneasiness. After three years of contact, he also knew that she had this little problem, so he said to Mr. Gu: "Grandpa, please stop bullying Su Miao. I will accompany you."
"Yes, grandpa, it's almost time. I have to prepare dinner for dinner." Su Miao said.
Neither she nor Gu Wangchuan liked having too many outsiders at home, so there was only one nanny in the villa.
It would be tiring for a nanny to prepare dinner for seven people, so Su Miao planned to help.
"Okay, okay, then come Ah Chuan." Mr. Gu let Su Miao go.
Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and after giving up her seat to Gu Wangchuan, she looked at Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to prepare dinner first."
"How can you and the nanny finish your work? I'm going to help too." Leng Qingqiu stood up and walked to the kitchen with her. At this time, the nanny was already preparing the ingredients for dinner.
Su Miao and Leng Qingqiu were not the kind of rich ladies who could do nothing but enjoy life. After putting on their aprons, they started preparing dinner.
After dinner was ready, Gu Lei and Gu Wancheng also arrived at the villa.
The family had dinner together.
At the dinner table, everything was going well until Gu Lei suddenly looked at Gu Wangchuan and asked, "Achuan, is Gu's business good recently?"
"It's fine. Second uncle, don't worry." Gu Wangchuan's brows had returned to indifference at this moment.
He always looked indifferent towards other relatives. Even though Gu Yan and Gu Lei were brothers, he was still relatively indifferent.
"I'm not worried, I just heard recently that Su has a rather tricky project that he wants you to invest in. Have you agreed?" Gu Lei asked.
Su Miao's expression changed. She held the chopsticks tightly with her slender fingers and wanted to say something, but Gu Wangchuan spoke one step ahead of her: "No."
"Oh?" Gu Lei showed a surprised expression, "Didn't you always invest in Su's projects in the past?"
Gu Wangchuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the person opposite him expressionlessly: "I would invest in previous projects if they had some market value, but this time Su's project is not very good, so I declined the investment after considering it."
"Does Su Miao's father have no objection to your refusal to invest?" Gu Lei looked at Su Miao teasingly.
So how much benefit did the Su family get from Su Miao marrying into the Gu family? Many companies are jealous of this.
But the Su family is a wolf that cannot be fed well. If Gu Wangchuan refuses to invest this time, can the couple live a peaceful life?
"If the business is suitable, invest in it. If it is not suitable, just wait for the next cooperation. My father-in-law is reasonable and will not embarrass us." Gu Wangchuan replied and glanced at Su Miao.
"That's right, but your father-in-law is not a cheap person." Gu Lei pointed it out directly, looking back and forth between the two of them.
Su Miao suddenly turned pale and felt uneasy. Did he know that Su Qingfeng came to look for trouble?
Just as he was doubting, Gu Lei pretended to be an elder and persuaded: "I don't mean anything, but as your second uncle and a shareholder of the Gu family, I just want to say, Wangchuan, if you can't do some cooperation, don't do it.
, but you can’t harm the interests of shareholders just because of that little relationship.”
