Tu Yingying pouted in grievance, "Dear Aunt, you have to help me!"
Tu Meijiao sighed, "What does Zhu Yiming not have that he does?"
Lu Xinguo chimed in, "If she doesn’t want to, then forget it. That Doctor Zhu might not even be interested in our Yingying!"
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. Tu Meijiao, however, angrily retorted, "What’s wrong with our Yingying, who is she not good enough for?!"
Lu Xinguo quickly shrank back and turned away, pretending he hadn’t said anything!
Only then did Tu Meijiao pat Tu Yingying’s hand, "Don’t worry, Aunt will definitely help you!"
After one win, one draw, and one loss in three games, Lu Qingyuan shook his head, "Looks like I’m really getting old. Tongtong was only going easy on me to get a draw!"
"No way, I also thought this game was really tough!" Ji Niandong furrowed her brows, looking as if she was deep in thought but couldn’t find the answer.
Hearing Lu Qingyuan say it was over, she let out a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, she’s an actress, or it would be hard to discreetly hold back while pretending it was also challenging for her!
Lu Beichen noticed this and pulled her up, saying, "You’ve been sitting for so long, it’s time to get up and stretch!"
Lu Qingyuan also stood and patted Lu Beichen’s shoulder, "I can’t compare to you in chess, or to your wife!"
Lu Beichen chuckled lightly, "If your grandson wasn’t disinterested, maybe he might surpass you too!"
Lu Qingyuan frowned and glared at him, while Lu Sinian covered his mouth and laughed quietly.
"How come Tongtong is so good at chess? It’s rare for girls to know how to play!" He looked up and said, "I used to have a friend who was very skilled at chess!"
His face was full of nostalgia and longing. Ji Niandong replied obediently, "I once knew someone who taught me a bit of chess. I also like it, so in my free time, I’ve read a lot about it!"
"Then you’ve really taught yourself well!" Lu Qingyuan sincerely praised, "My friend was the same, born with talent!"
He laughed heartily a few times, then walked towards the living room, with Housekeeper Lu timely announcing, "It’s time to eat!"
The dishes were served one by one, and the whole family gathered around the table again. Everyone was polite and cheerful on the surface today, but it was Lu Qingyuan who first spoke, "Last time, I thought that Jiang Family’s child was nice. I heard he has the potential to join YT Entertainment. His family background is good too. Sister, have you talked to Yingying about it?"
"Aunt, I don’t want to!" Tu Yingying exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this and immediately clung to Tu Meijiao’s arm, whining.
This action, of course, was fully noticed by everyone. The displeasure in Lu Qingyuan’s eyes flashed by quickly as he quietly watched Tu Meijiao.
Tu Meijiao smiled and replied, "Brother, you saw it too. Yingying is still young and doesn’t understand much. Talking about marriage now is not quite appropriate. I plan to keep her a few more years; there’s no rush!"
Lu Qingyuan followed up, "Should I still look for someone for her?"
Tu Meijiao hesitated a bit. If she agreed to help, given the person Lu Qingyuan chose this time, though he’s a legitimate son of a prominent family, compared to the Lu Family, he’s not much. But if she didn’t agree to help and a suitable candidate emerged, they might consider her niece precious, thanks to Lu Qingyuan.
After all, she didn’t have the guts to scheme against Lu Beichen. The incident from six years ago still lingered vividly in her mind. What if it befell them one day...
Tu Meijiao hesitated for a second, then smiled and replied, "It’s grateful enough having you care, brother!"
Her words were ambiguous, neither fully rejecting nor accepting.
Lu Qingyuan roughly understood her meaning and laughed coldly, "One day, don’t regret it. A girl should find someone sooner rather than later!"
Before Tu Meijiao could ponder the meaning behind his words, Tu Yingying tugged at her arm again, "Aunt, there’s also that other matter!"
