She didn’t want Du Jinghao to accept the challenge because it was obvious that Lu Heting would lose.
Was Lu Heting trying to use this matter to get rid of Su Bei?
Du Jinghao didn’t expect Lu Heting to make such a big bet. After a moment of joy, he said, “Deal!”
No one believed that Lu Heting could do it.
Except for Old Master Tang and Su Bei.
Old Master Tang could see how far Lu Heting was willing to go for Su Bei. That was good too. He would just get rid of this love rival.
Su Bei looked up at him and reached out to pull his arm. “You can’t lose. Anyway, I won’t agree to not seeing you.”
Lu Heting rubbed her head gently and sat down in front of the chessboard.
Du Jinghao also sat down.
Du Guoshou and Ou Huanwei didn’t think that their son would lose. Lu Heting wouldn’t be better than Du Jinghao.
But now, they were all hoping that their son would lose.
After a while, a lot of black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard. Everyone’s gaze was on the board.
‘Tang Yue, Mr. Du, and Mrs. Du could understand the game a little at first, but gradually, they could not understand the complicated moves.
‘They were conflicted. They didn’t want Lu Heting to win, but they didn’t want Du Jinghao to lose either.
Meanwhile, Grandfather Tang was sipping his tea and looking at the board while stroking his beard. He nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Lu Heting made another move.
Du Jinghao frowned deeply, while Lu Heting’s expression was relaxed. Sometimes, he would grab Su Bei’s hand or eat a mouthful of fruit.
In the eyes of Tang Yue and the rest, this was the difference between a top student and a bad student. A good student would think hard because they knew that the questions were difficult, but a bad student could not understand them anyway, so they decided to just forgo everything. Happiness was the
most important thing to them.
Du Jinghao’s hands started to tremble, and his brows were knitted even tighter together. Finally, he put down the chess piece and said, “I admit defeat!”
“Thanks for letting me win,” Lu Heting said politely.
Du Jinghao’s face darkened. He could tell that Lu Heting still had some strength left. Even if he challenged Lu Heting again, he would lose terribly!
How did this man do it?
“How is this possible? How is this possible?” Ou Huanwei and Tang Yue were both shocked that Du Jinghao would say something like that!
Although they did not wish for him to win, he actually lost just like that. That was shocking enough!
Lu Heting was just a newbie. How did he crush this top expert?
Su Bei revealed a smile, as if saying ‘I knew my husband could do it’.
Du Jinghao stood up with a hint of loneliness on his face. He looked deeply at Su Bei, picked up his jacket, stood up, and walked out.
“This… This…” Ou Huanwei could not believe that her son had been crushed.
Old Master Tang smiled, “It’s common for young people to win and lose when they play. However, Heting is really quite good. Is this really your first time playing?”
“T’ve seen others play it before, but I only learned the rules today.” Lu Heting nodded.
Old Master Tang was a little satisfied with him. With his memory and comprehension ability, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call him a genius..
