This was too dramatic!
It was too unbelievable!
How could it be so coincidental?
Even in television dramas, there wouldn't be such a fucking coincidence!
Instantly, Wu Changhe flew into a rage. He slammed the table and pointed at Zhang Ye, saying, "So you're the rascal who swindled my daughter away? You still have the cheek to sit here? Ah? "
Zhang Ye sat there in a daze. "Ah? Didn't you tell me to treat this place as my home? "
Wu Changhe said angrily, "How is this your home? Go back to where you came from! Stand up! Stand up right now! "
Zhang Ye wiped his sweat and obediently got up.
Wu Changhe pointed at him and said, "Well done, kid. You're really something. Did you plan it all out? You knew that I was going to the Xuanwumen Go club today? After my daughter tipped you off, you went ahead and waited for me. Then you pestered me to come home and set up this trap today? Ah? Was it you? "
Zhang Ye said, feeling wronged, "Bro … no, Uncle, I don't even know where your home is. Old Wu didn't even tell me who you were, so how would I know that you were going to the Go club today? And it just so happened that Uncle Lu's child that you were looking for wasn't here yet? It's not like I know how to read fortunes. Besides, I didn't pester you to come home. You were the one who dragged me here. I don't even know why! "
Wu Changhe said angrily, "You're still trying to deny it?"
"It was indeed you who dragged the young man here." Li Qinqin said something fair. "When Little Zhang heard about the matchmaking, he wanted to leave, but you blocked the door and refused to let him go."
Wu Changhe was speechless.
It was obvious that this was a coincidence!
Li Qinqin muttered to herself, "Could it be fate?"
Wu Changhe said loudly, "What fate!"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Dad, let's eat first." Then she tugged at Zhang Ye and got him to sit down and eat.
Wu Changhe said, "Can I still eat?!"
But Wu Zeqing was as calm as ever. She even picked up some food for Zhang Ye with her chopsticks. "Try this. My mom makes very good chicken wings too. I learned all my cooking from her."
"Oh." Zhang Ye tasted it. "Mmm, it's delicious!"
Wu Changhe shouted, "In any case, I don't agree! I don't agree!"
"Keep your voice down." Li Qinqin smacked her lips and said, "Since Little Zhang is here, he's a guest. Besides, no matter what you say, you were the one who pulled him back."
Wu Changhe quibbled, "I was deceived by him!"
Wu Zeqing looked up. "Dad, can we sit down and eat first? If there's anything, we can talk about it after we eat. We can't solve the problem on an empty stomach. What do you think? "
Wu Changhe sat down angrily, but he was not in the mood to eat at all. He had previously found Zhang Ye quite pleasing to the eye. After all, there weren't many youngsters who were willing to put in effort to play Go these days. But at this moment, Wu Changhe found Zhang Ye to be an eyesore no matter how he looked at him. He wished he could take a rolling pin and beat him out of the house!
Wu Zeqing's mother did not dislike Zhang Ye. On the contrary, she seemed to be quite interested in him.
Li Qinqin looked at him. "Little Zhang, the two of us don't usually watch much television, so we didn't recognize you. But we've heard about you more than once. Your name is really well-known, and I'm really curious about you. I've always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that it would be on such an occasion."
Zhang Ye said respectfully, "It's just an undeserved reputation. It's just that other people are exaggerating about me. Auntie, I've actually wanted to pay you a visit for a long time, but I never got the chance. If I had known that I would be coming to your house, I would have bought some gifts for you. I didn't prepare anything for this, so I feel quite bad about it."
Li Qinqin asked, "How many people are there in your family?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's just me and my parents."
"You don't have any siblings?"
"I'm an only child."
"How did you get to know my daughter?"
"The first time we met was on a plane. Old Wu invited me to teach at Peking University. At that time, she was still the vice president of Peking University. It was quite some time ago."
Li Qinqin blinked. "How long have the two of you been together?"
Zhang Ye coughed and said, "About a year."
"We don't even know." Li Qinqin gave her daughter a look.
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Would I dare let my family know about my dad being like that?"
Li Qinqin laughed. "That's true."
Wu Changhe blew his beard and glared at her. He called her by her name and said, "Li Qinqin, whose side are you on?"
But Li Qinqin said, "I think Little Zhang is quite a good person. I don't know much about the entertainment industry and don't really know any of these celebrities, but I've heard of Little Zhang's name before. In fact, I've heard of him so many times. He's very young but has achieved a lot. Moreover, I heard that Little Zhang has contributed a lot to Little Mo and Little Fatso's company and that it was all Little Zhang's help that made it successful. Didn't you mention it at dinner last time? He was especially thankful to Little Zhang and said that if it weren't for him, the company would have gone bankrupt seven or eight times over! Little Zhang has done his best for our family. "
Zhang Ye was very touched!
He didn't expect that Wu Zeqing's mother would actually speak up for him!
Wu Changhe said angrily, "Let me tell you, let me make my stance clear first. This won't do. Absolutely not! What's the use of having high achievements? No matter how high one's achievements are, one is still someone from the entertainment industry! Don't you know what kind of people are in that industry? There aren't many good people there! It's a mess in the industry! Age is not a problem, nor does it matter how much you earn. Why can't you get married to someone from the entertainment industry! Are you trying to push our daughter into the fire pit? "
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Then you can just treat him as a university professor."
"I can't do that." Wu Changhe said, "That's not his main profession!"
Wu Zeqing said, "Then aren't you making things difficult for me? I found someone, but you said no. Alright, why don't you bring someone back to go on a blind date with me? I said yes, but you said no. Dad, I can make my own decisions and I know what I'm doing. If I fancy someone, no one can persuade me otherwise. "
Wu Changhe said angrily, "Why are you so stupid? Don't you know what kind of reputation Zhang Ye has? There's already a problem with his character. How can you marry someone like that? "
At this point, Zhang Ye finally could not bear to listen any further.
Zhang Ye immediately raised an eyebrow and interrupted, "Uncle, I won't say a word if you say anything else about me. But if you say that there's a problem with my character, I won't take that lying down."
Li Qinqin looked at Zhang Ye in surprise.
Wu Changhe had a bad temper, but so did Zhang Ye.
Some things could be pushed back.
Some things could be pushed back.
But there were some things that had to be said!
Wu Changhe stared at him. "You still can't take it?"
Zhang Ye said slowly, "It's not that I don't respect my elders, but since you said that there's a problem with my character, I have to argue with you. I can't pretend that I didn't hear it."
The two of them immediately started arguing!
Neither of them was willing to give in to the other!
Li Qinqin quickly tried to smooth things over. "There's no problem with Little Zhang's character. When the plane nearly crashed, Little Zhang saved a lot of people. Didn't you say that just now? He's very good at Go. You once said that people who can play Go well have a good character. "
Wu Changhe sneered. "He's good at Go? Do you really believe what I just said? With that level of skill of his, I didn't even need to use my brain to beat him by more than six points. What kind of crappy play is that! With his Go skills, he's impetuous and unstable. It would be a wonder if he has a good character! "
Wu Zeqing put down her chopsticks and calmly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. "Alright, Little Ye, let's go."
Li Qinqin said, "Eat some more."
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "If we eat any more, we'll start fighting. I'll go back with Little Ye."
Zhang Ye did not want to leave. "That won't do. We have to talk about character first. Uncle, I can tell that you're deliberately targeting me."
Wu Changhe couldn't help but laugh. "You're still not going to admit that you played crappy Go?"
Zhang Ye said, "Does playing Go mean that my character is good?"
"Of course. Go is a form of self-cultivation. Those who are opportunistic and have a bad character will never be able to play it well." Wu Changhe harrumphed.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Alright, then let's use Go to speak. I wonder if I can play another game with you?"
Wu Changhe was amused. "You still want to play against me? Your skill is far too lacking! Even if you practice for another 50 years, you still won't be a match for me! Even if I give you a two-stone handicap, you still won't win! "
However, Zhang Ye's next sentence stunned everyone in the room!
Zhang Ye said, "This time, I'll give you a two-stone handicap!"
There was a Go board and a designated seat in the room. After Zhang Ye said that, he walked over and sat down. He brought the white stone over to his side and looked at Wu Changhe. "Please."
You're giving me a handicap?
Two stones at that?
Wu Changhe nearly cramped up with laughter!
Li Qinqin also gave a wry smile. "Little Zhang, your uncle was a 9-dan Go player back then."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Auntie, I know."
Wu Changhe was so angry that he laughed. He plopped down on the black stone and said, "Alright, I wasn't serious just now. Did you really think that you could beat me? Haha! "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "What a coincidence. I wasn't serious either."
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air!
The two of them were starting to compete!
Li Qinqin knew that she couldn't dissuade them, so she didn't say anything else. She could only watch from the side. She was no stranger to Go. Although she wasn't good at it, she still knew how to watch the game.
Wu Zeqing did the same. She quietly walked behind Zhang Ye. Of course, she also knew how to play Go.
Wu Changhe did not stand on ceremony. He did not have the demeanor of a former 9th dan player. He sneered and took the black chess piece and placed two pieces on the board. "You are giving me two pieces, right? Good! Let's see what you're going to do next! "
Li Qinqin frowned. "Changhe, what are you doing?"
Wu Changhe said, "He was the one who said that he would give me a handicap of two stones, so I decided to fulfill his wish." Then he said to Zhang Ye, "Come, let me see what you look like when you get serious!"
Picking up the white flag, Zhang Ye's expression had changed. It was completely different from when he was at the Go club in the afternoon. It was as though he had turned into a different person.
Thud!
Zhang Ye placed his stone!
Wu Changhe glanced over, chuckled, and made his move as well.
Fly.
Keep up.
Not really.
Point.
He flew again.
Keep up.
Dismantle.
As he played, Wu Changhe mocked, "What lousy chess move is this? Do you even know how to play? Sharpness? What's the use of sitting here? Have you ever seen a professional Go player play like this? Amateur! "
But gradually, Wu Changhe stopped talking.
Li Qinqin was stunned!
Wu Zeqing also suddenly laughed!
That "sharpness" that Zhang Ye had just made had forced Wu Changhe to break out in a cold sweat!
Fuck!
What kind of move was that?
Very few people had used such a move in the past!
Wu Changhe's expression changed.
…
Two hours.
This game of Go went on for a full two hours.
Zhang Ye placed his last stone down with a smack.
Wu Changhe's face turned green!
How was this possible!
How was this possible!
Li Qinqin was also looking at Zhang Ye in disbelief!
He had lost!
Wu Changhe had actually lost!
And he had even lost with a handicap of two stones on the board!
Zhang Ye said, "You said earlier that people who play Go well have good characters. From the looks of it, my character is still alright."
