Chapter 736: 0726 being unhappy pleased her!

This was the shrimp that the Eldest Young Master personally peeled for the Eldest Young Madam.

There absolutely could not be any accidents!

Otherwise, even her life would not suffice as compensation!

The deep and magnetic voice of Fu Qiyuan, however, was like a knife brutally stabbing into Chu Xiyao’s heart.

Qi Yuan would actually do such a thing?

No!

How could this be possible!

In her eyes, that unattainably lofty, noble, and elegant man was actually peeling shrimp for a woman by hand?

This was clearly a servant’s job, yet he personally did it?

What was even more unbearable for her was that he had actually acknowledged that woman’s status.

Eldest Young Madam?

Clearly, she was the one who should be the Fu family’s Eldest Young Madam!

It was that woman who had stolen her identity!

Her throat seemed to be choked by someone, nearly causing her to faint from suffocation.

Chu Xiyao tightly gripped the chopsticks in her hand, watching the servant who was being extremely careful and respectful towards Su Ran, when suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

Her eyes widened in horror, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

So that was it!

So that was the woman’s intention.

She had been wondering, since she had gotten the chance to add one more condition from Grandpa Fu, why would this woman ask for something as trivial as the Fu family changing the way they addressed her.

After all, she hadn’t truly married into the Fu family, so what difference would it make if everyone changed how they addressed her?

No one would still acknowledge her status anyway!

But now...

She had miscalculated!

This woman’s schemes ran deep to have plotted to this extent.

Could it be that she had guessed from the beginning that Grandpa Fu would ask her to play chess, that he would set conditions?

No!

That’s impossible!

She couldn’t foresee the future.

No matter how smart a person is, they can’t possibly be smart to this extent.

Coincidence.

Yes, it must be a coincidence!

In the subsequent meal, Chu Xiyao didn’t touch her chopsticks again.

Only a quarter of the rice bowl in front of her was touched.

Seeing this, Su Ran had a very good appetite.

Hmm, if her rival was unhappy, she was happy!

She felt incredibly refreshed!

After the meal, Old Master Fu looked at the pale-faced Chu Xiyao, his tone somewhat worried.

"Xiyao, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell? I also saw that you didn’t eat much during the meal. Do you feel unwell?"

Chu Xiyao shook her head, trying to smile with a pale face: "I’m fine, Grandpa. It might just be that the weather is too hot, I don’t have much of an appetite."

"Then have someone prepare something to alleviate the summer heat later."

Chu Xiyao nodded, then looked towards Fu Qiyuan beside her, her clear and elegant voice ringing out decisively.

"Qi Yuan, Qi Xiu, some friends have organized a gathering for tomorrow. Let’s go out and meet up! Bring Miss Su along, it’s a good opportunity to introduce her to my friends!"

Fu Qiyuan didn’t answer Chu Xiyao but turned his head to look at Su Ran, who was in his arms.

"Do you want to go home or go out and play?"

They had originally planned to return home today, but if they were going to play tomorrow, they would still have to stay at the old residence tonight.

Su Ran saw the slight challenge in Chu Xiyao’s eyes and smiled as she nodded her head.

"Since Miss Chu has invited us sincerely, sure!"

Afterward, Fu Qiyuan finally nodded at Chu Xiyao.

Having said that, Fu Qiyuan directly walked away with Su Ran.

Fu Qixiu felt it was meaningless to stay behind, so he also followed the two out.

On the way back to their separate courtyard.

"Do you want to go back and take a nap, or would you like to stroll around?" Fu Qiyuan asked.

Su Ran looked at the scenery in the courtyard, the artificial hill with flowing water, the garden pavilion, and thought that strolling around would be nice.

"We’ve just finished eating, let’s take a walk!"

Fu Qiyuan nodded, took Su Ran’s hand, and began to leisurely wander around the garden.

Fu Qixiu went back to his room, which was boring, and besides, he had a lot of questions, so he very inconsiderately followed the two.

"Sis-in-law, sis-in-law, did you really only start playing Go in college?"

"Really."

"Awesome! To only start in college and still beat Chu Xiyao, who has been studying Go since childhood. But sis-in-law, if you’re so good, how can you say you’re not proficient?"

Su Ran tilted her head and glanced at him, indifferently, "I really am not!"

Fu Qixiu blinked, "Not proficient to what extent?"

"Just an Amateur Eighth Dan."

"Amateur Eighth Dan?"

Su Ran: "The national Go competition... champion."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

You’re the champion, and you’re not proficient!

Who are you trying to fool?

Fu Qixiu, looking at his always composed elder brother, couldn’t help but ask:

"Brother, did you know already, which is why you weren’t the slightest bit anxious?"

Fu Qiyuan remained calm and collected, "I just happened to see it."

"See what?"

"Your sister-in-law’s championship trophy and certificate of honor."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Hehe, right!

No wonder brother remained unflustered by the storm, as firm as a rock, despite Grandpa’s conditions!

So that’s what it was!

"Awo, brother, sis-in-law, you guys are too much, keeping a little secret from me. I was so worried about you, and you betrayed my feelings!"

Su Ran looked at the sorry figure with tears brimming in his eyes, feeling somewhat guilty.

She patted his head and coaxed: "There, there, I’ll buy you candy next time."

Fu Qixiu hmphed twice, "What brand? How much? Are they tasty?"

"Alpenliebe, two pieces, especially delicious!"

"I’m only worth two pieces? No way! At least three pieces."

"Deal."

Upon hearing this, Fu Qixiu cheered up and continued to hop about and ask:

"But sis-in-law, did you guess beforehand that grandpa would challenge you to a game of Go, and about the bet afterward?"

"Did I even need to guess?"

Three giant question marks appeared on Fu Qixiu’s forehead.

"What do you mean?"

Su Ran spoke indifferently, "Every detail about Chu Xiyao visiting the Fu family was all the buzz from early morning—her excellent cooking skills, her considerate and filial nature, her exquisite Go skills, superior even to her predecessors, made out to be as divine as a goddess descending from the heavens. It would’ve been hard not to know!"

At this moment, a serious and low voice interjected from the side.

"You’re the goddess."

Su Ran looked up to see the man with a grave expression on his face.

She was startled at first, then shyly lowered her head.

"What nonsense, telling the absolute truth!"

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Can’t you guys show a little consideration for the single dog nearby?

And, could you not be so vain!

He coughed lightly, scratched his head, and asked puzzledly:

"But even so, what does it have to do with Grandpa wanting to play Go with you?"

Su Ran smiled, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"I just think that Miss Chu would very much like to play Go with me."

Fu Qixiu glanced at his elder brother and instantly understood.

"But sis-in-law, how did you know that grandpa would set up a bet?"

Su Ran glanced at him, "What else then? The Old Master wouldn’t invite me to play Go for no reason; he’s not that idle! Besides, being an orphaned girl with no relatives, what else could he possibly be interested in besides your brother?"

Fu Qixiu thought it over and then understood Su Ran’s point.

If Grandpa wanted to matchmake his brother with Chu Xiyao, he would certainly need to address his official girlfriend, the sister-in-law. Having her leave voluntarily would undoubtedly be the best way to prevent his brother from holding a grudge against the Chu family later.

"With that being the case, why didn’t you just get Grandpa to agree to your marriage with my brother? Instead, you made an irrelevant request."

Su Ran chuckled, "Do you think the Old Master would agree to me marrying your brother?"

Fu Qixiu fell silent for two seconds before saying, "He wouldn’t!"

If sister-in-law really made such a request, Grandpa would break the agreement rather than accede to it.

"Exactly, moreover, who said my request was irrelevant?"
