Even though he had already guessed that his ident.i.ty wasn’t simple, Old Master Tang wasn’t someone who cared about family background and status. What was rare was one’s character.
Tang Yue took out the chessboard and smiled. “Su Bei, do you know how to play?”
$u Bei shook her head. “I don’t. You guys go ahead.”
“That’s too bad. Grandpa likes to play chess very much. If you know how to play it, you can spend more time with him,” Tang Yue said with a smile. “Why don’t Jinghao and I teach you? Jinghao is a professional. He has won several international compet.i.tions.”
She kept mentioning Old Master Tang, wanting to imply that Su Bei did not know many things about him and was not filial.
Old Master Tang smiled and said, “Forget it. It’s fine even if Su Bei doesn’t know. Young people these days shouldn’t be bored to death by these old antiques.”
Du Jinghao looked at Su Bei expectantly.
Lu Heting actually knew from the start that this man had ideas toward Su Bei. He could also guess that the Tang family wanted to matchmake Du Jinghao and Su Bei.
That was why Su Bei brought him here today to directly reject these arrangements and plans.
However, Du Jinghao clearly had not given up. Every time Su Bei spoke, his eyes would brighten. Su Bei was clearly rejecting him, but he did not give up.
It looked like he had to do it himself.
Lu Heting tilted his head and looked at Su Bei. “Why don’t you play a round with Grandpa?”
“But I don’t know how to play. Do you?” Su Bei asked.
“I don’t know how to play either,” Lu Heting said seriously. “But why don’t we let Mr. Du explain it to us?”
Seeing that he was interested, Su Bei nodded and said, “That’s good. Once we learn, we can play with Grandpa.”
‘When Du Jinghao heard that Su Bei wanted to learn, he was instantly interested. He nodded and said, “I can teach you guys.”
Then, he explained the rules to Su Bei and Lu Heting in detail.
After a while, Lu Heting nodded. “I understand.”

Before Du Jinghao could finish, he heard Lu Heting say that he knew how to do it. He was stunned for a moment and smiled. “Mr. Lu, you understand how to play it already?”
“Ido,” Lu Heting said calmly. There was no hint of joking in his cold features.
The other elders couldn’t help but smile. “Heting, you learned this before, right?”
“No,” Lu Heting answered truthfully.
Everyone laughed out loud. Du Guoshou and Ou Huanwei thought to themselves, ‘This poor guy is really too much. Seeing that he’s being looked down upon, he wants to prove himself. it’s easy to learn chess, but it’s hard to master it. Even if he says he understands how to play it now, he’ll immediately be
exposed. It’ll be really funny. How did Su Bei bring back such a boyfriend”
Tang Jianming and Lin Shulian saw how arrogant Lu Heting was. They could not help but worry about Su Bei’s choice.
Only Old Master Tang calmly watched this scene. The man in front of him was unfathomable. Many things had already surpa.s.sed his imagination.
“Actually, chess is quite easy to learn.” Tang Yue seemed to agree with Lu Heting on the surface, but she was ruthlessly exposing him. “But mastering the rules is hard. It might not be as easy as it seems when you actually play it. Jinghao, what do you think?”
Ou Huanwei laughed. “We’ll know if that’s the case. Why don’t we have a real battle?”
Du Jinghao looked at Lu Heting with a burning gaze. “Mr. Lu, is that okay? Let’s play a round..”1
