For so many years, he never met a match in chess.
Now, encountering a rival, even stronger than him, he couldn’t stop.
With nothing to do, Lin Xi also spent the entire afternoon playing.
Of course, the entire afternoon, the old man didn’t win once.
In the evening, there was another Sichuan feast, and the dishes were different from noon.
Lin Xi estimated that these two meals, if outside, with labor and ingredients, would not cost less than a hundred thousand.
Moreover, the ingredients the old man used were the best.
So, the price would be several times higher.
The old man was someone who wouldn’t accept defeat, and after dinner, he dragged Lin Xi to play chess again.
Honestly, although Lin Xi kept winning,
playing against such a rare expert as the old man also allowed him to improve.
So, he was happy to play.
However, before they could finish two games that evening, they were interrupted.
The interruption wasn’t from the villa’s bodyguards or servants, but from a middle-aged man and woman Lin Xi hadn’t seen before.
They looked somewhat similar!
And these two also resembled the old couple a bit.
At first glance, Lin Xi didn’t need to guess; these two were definitely the son and daughter the old man mentioned before.
"Dad, are you okay?" The two rushed over in a hurry, asking anxiously.
Clearly, someone from the villa must have secretly informed them.
And it was because of this, worried, they rushed over.
"What could happen to me!" Seeing his son and daughter, the old man replied grumpily.
Interrupting his chess time really annoyed him.
Of course, having them come all this way did warm his heart.
"Alright, alright, if you haven’t eaten, ask someone to make something."
"If there’s nothing else, don’t bother me!"
"Can’t you see I’m playing chess with Xiaolin?"
Once the old man finished speaking, he urged Lin Xi to continue playing chess.
The two of them agreed, exchanged a look, and saw a fleeting flash in each other’s eyes.
Following this, they also noticed their mother, the old lady, chatting animatedly with a very pretty girl.
The two of them agreed, wanting to ask something, but were interrupted by the old lady.
If it wasn’t important, they should not disturb them.
"Big brother, what do you think?" The woman asked in the kitchen.
At this moment, both of their expressions were not so good.
"What do you think?" The man questioned himself, then continued,
"Those two saved Dad!"
"We have to properly thank them afterward!!!"
The woman nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, we must show our gratitude!!!"
"Alright then, sis, ask Auntie to make something, we haven’t eaten anything on our way here!"
"Okay!"
After eating, they went to sit next to the old man and Lin Xi, watching them play chess.
At first glance, their expressions changed.
But quickly returned to normal.
"How can this person be so skilled?"
"Who is he really?"
"Could he really have some ulterior motives?"
You know, they were aware of the old man’s chess skills, which were likely unmatched even internationally.
Subconsciously, the previous thought in their hearts began to stir some worries.
