Seeing this, Director Wang lifted her hand speechlessly to rub Mu Xingyu’s back. “That’s enough, Xingyu. Don’t get too mad about it. Mu Siyin may be arrogant now, but let’s see if she can keep that attitude once that man dumps her!”
Mu Xingyu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “You’re right! I can’t wait for the day she cries!”
After Mu Siyin and Ji Yang walked out of the store, Ji Yang could no longer contain her laughter. “Yinyin, is it just me, or did Mu Xingyu’s intelligence go down? What on earth was she thinking? How dare she try to trip me?”
Mu Sinyin smiled and said, “Her anger got the better of her. She deserved it.”
“She had quite a bad fall just now. Judging from her size, her body probably would be black and blue by now. Who knows? Maybe she’d get Gu Yifan to massage her tonight.
“Hm? That’s not right. Gu Yifan’s ribs haven’t even recovered yet, so how can they have the physical strength to do such an extreme workout?”
Mu Siyin did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Yangyang, you’re so dirty-minded!”
Ji Yang looked at her friend innocently. “Hey! I’m very pure, okay?”
Mu Siyin was at a loss for words.
After strolling around with Ji Yang for a while, Mu Siyin kept her word and went back to the villa. After all, she did not want Shi Beiyu to get mad if he found out.
When Uncle Zhong saw that Mu Siyin was back, he paced forward happily. “Little Siyin, you’re home earlier than expected!”
Mu Siyin grinned. “I don’t want to be exposed if I come home late.”
Uncle Zhong nodded his head furiously when he heard this. “Yeah, yeah! Shh…”
…
Squatting under the roof, Shi Ran lifted his head to look at the darkening sky. After that, he cast a look at the duo playing chess and could not help but shake his head when he noticed how focused they looked.
He had never expected Master Hu to be a chess master. They had been in the same match ever since the early afternoon, yet they were nowhere close to finishing the game!
At last, the sky had completely darkened when Master Hu violently slammed his hands against the table and looked at Shi Beiyu emotionally. He shrieked, “Genius! What a genius!”
Shi Beiyu bowed his head slightly with a faint smirk on his face. “You’re overpraising me, sir. It’s just a stroke of luck.”
Master Hu shook his head. “No! You’re extremely talented for your age, and it’s extremely rare to come by someone like that! Shall we have another match, fella?”
The entire village knew that Master Hu was obsessed with chess. However, his skills were very advanced, and he had not met an opponent who could defeat him in a long time. After a round with Shi Beiyu, Master Hu felt relieved to have finally met his match.
Shi Ran almost vomited blood when he heard this.
He stood up aggressively and strode forward. Annoyance was plastered across his face when he told Master Hu, “We’re here to ask you for a favor, Master Hu. Can we please get to business first?”
Upon hearing this, Master Hu paused before he bawled in laughter. Then, he looked at Shi Beiyu and said, “Since you have won, I’ll keep my promise. Tell me, what is the reason for your visit?”
Shi Beiyu cast a glance at Shi Ran hesitantly.
Shi Ran immediately understood. “I’ll be waiting at the gate.”
Only once Shi Beiyu made sure that Shi Ran was at the gate did he look at old Master Hu and start talking. “I heard you’ve got the ability to communicate with spirits. That’s why I’m here to ask for your help, sir.”
Master Hu nodded his head slightly when he heard this. “Tell me your situation first.”
Shi Beiyu then told the old man the truth but refrained from telling him some details.
Master Hu pondered for a long while before he lifted his gaze and said, “From what you said, there can only be two possibilities.”
Shi Beiyu nodded his head. “Go on, sir…”
