At the Jiang Family Mansion, there is a family dinner every month.
Old Sir Jiang has two sons and two daughters, three grandsons, one granddaughter, two grandsons-in-law, and two granddaughters-in-law. The family isn’t particularly prosperous.
This is also why after the eldest grandson’s accident, he had no choice but to let Jiang Jingheng take over the company.
Every ti this happens, the house is quite lively.
Old Sir Jiang is surrounded by granddaughters who aren’t often seen, along with his two daughters speaking affectionate words, enjoying a harmonious scene.
At these tis, Yin Manqing usually sits by Jiang Zhenghong’s side, smiles, and doesn’t interrupt.
On the contrary, Qiu Shuyun from the second family occasionally interjects, blending in with the aunts, enjoying the spotlight.
Challenging glances are thrown at Yin Manqing, who pretends not to see them but is seething inside.
Is being on good terms with the aunts really sothing to be proud of? Does it an your branch will get more inheritance?
anwhile, Jiang Jingheng is playing Go with Jiang Wenhao, and two young n in their twenties stand beside them.
"Big cousin, your last move was really exquisite," the older one praised Jiang Wenhao generously.
Jiang Jingheng glanced at the board, then placed a stone. The other young man praised, "Third cousin is truly incredible, blocking big cousin’s path instantly."
Jiang Wenhao looked at the layout below, glanced at Jiang Jingheng, and said helplessly, "Losing to you every ti is getting boring."
"I think third cousin’s Go skills are good enough to be a national player. Big cousin, you don’t need to feel embarrassed."
"Exactly, exactly."
The two cousins agreed.
"A national player? Don’t flatter him," a sarcastic voice chid in.
The eldest cousin, Gu Tingchuan, looked up to see Jiang Yutai coming downstairs, looking casual, with a slight frown.
The younger cousin, Qiao Qinghe, always disliked this second cousin and imdiately taunted, "Second cousin, if you’re that great, why not play a round with third cousin? If you win, I’ll believe you; if you lose, you’ll have to admit you’re not as good as third cousin."
Jiang Yutai’s temper has always been quick to ignite. Being told he is inferior to Jiang Jingheng is sothing he would never admit.
Even if he knows his Go skills are terrible, he wouldn’t admit it at this mont.
"Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!" Jiang Yutai strode over.
Qiao Qinghe and Gu Tingchuan exchanged glances, waiting to see soone make a fool of themselves.
Jiang Jingheng didn’t oppose this proposal and calmly put the pieces back into the Go set.
Jiang Wenhao looked at Jiang Jingheng, knowing what he was up to, smirked, and moved his wheelchair aside to watch.
Jiang Yutai sat across from Jiang Jingheng, picked his pieces, and started playing.
"Second cousin, do you know the rules? It’s supposed to be third cousin’s turn to place a stone," Qiao Qinghe said intentionally.
Jiang Yutai frowned, "Who said white can’t play first?"
"Do you really know the rules or not?" Qiao Qinghe said irritably.
"Alright, let him go first," Jiang Jingheng suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Yutai glanced at him and snorted, "Don’t regret it!"
Qiao Qinghe and the others nearly rolled their eyes, thinking it’s you who’ll regret it.
As expected, Jiang Yutai lost a ga shortly afterward.
"Second cousin, you lost," Qiao Qinghe said with a smile.
Jiang Yutai’s face darkened, "That ga doesn’t count. I wasn’t ready, let’s start over."
"Can’t play but resorts to cheating, really sothing," Qiao Qinghe murmured.
"What did you say?" Jiang Yutai glared at him.
Qiao Qinghe was about to say sothing but was held back by Gu Tingchuan.
Jiang Jingheng suddenly spoke up, "Let’s play another ga. I’ll give you a ten-stone handicap."
