Chapter 410: Came to Propose Marriage
He thought that s.h.i.+ Le’s excuse of giving his granddaughter a glamorous and respectable marriage was all fake! He was simply doing this because he wanted to embarra.s.s him!
“Grandpa, why are you saying things like that again? The main point is that my brother wants to marry Weiyi and not just anyone!”
When s.h.i.+ Le heard his granddaughter’s words, he could not help but feel that beautiful women really brought a lot of trouble!
“Beautiful women really bring a lot of trouble!”
“Yes, but don’t you think that Weiyi’s grandmother, Shen Ruoxi, was really pitiful? Sigh!” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan deliberately sighed out loud in front of s.h.i.+ Le. After that, she raised her head to secretly glance at her grandfather’s face.
s.h.i.+ Le’s heart was obviously startled as soon as he heard s.h.i.+ Nuannuan mentioning Shen Ruoxi’s name.
Both he and Zuo Yi were in love with Shen Ruoxi at the same time back then. When he realized that she had suddenly disappeared from Country C, he also frantically searched for her.
Decades had already pa.s.sed but he had to admit one thing.
Zuo Yi’s love and affection for Shen Ruoxi far surpa.s.sed his feelings and affection for her. After knowing that she had left, Zuo Yi did not marry for life. On the other hand, he married another woman and had children with her even though he did not have any feelings for her.
***
The next day, a Sunday.
After having breakfast, Zuo Yi asked s.h.i.+ Yuting to accompany him to a game of chess.
Zuo Weiyi originally did not have an interest in this game, but she had somewhat gotten interested in it after spending so much time with her grandfather during this period.
At this time, it was Zuo Yi’s turn to move his chess piece. However, even after ten minutes, Zuo Yi had not made his move at all. He simply stared at the chessboard and frowned as he was in deep thoughts.
Zuo Weiyi was not so into the game of chess yet, so she did not understand what was going through her grandfather’s mind. She obviously knew that if he moved his cannon one step ahead, then he would be able to directly win the chess game with his next step, right?
However, in Zuo Yi’s opinion, even if he escaped this step, he would not be able to escape s.h.i.+ Yuting’s next move.
As soon as he moved his cannon, s.h.i.+ Yuting would be able to use his bishop to directly command his army. If he did not make a move, then he would undoubtedly die and be defeated in the next step!
Zuo Yi looked up at s.h.i.+ Yuting who was sitting directly opposite him and could not help but feel a little frustrated inside!
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Did not he know that he was Weiyi’s grandfather? Why won’t he just let him win the game in front of his granddaughter?
“Grandpa, do this!” When she saw that he had not made a move even after such a long time, Zuo Weiyi began to feel a little anxious. She simply raised her hand to move the cannon.
Zuo Yi felt his heart shatter into pieces when he saw her moving the cannon. He wanted to reach out to stop her but it was already too late.
It was over! It was over! He lost!
Just as Zuo Yi felt that he was about to lose the game, s.h.i.+ Yuting’s next move surprised him.
“It’s your turn.”
Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at s.h.i.+ Yuting after looking at the chess pieces on the board.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He knew what he was doing!
“General!” In the next second, Zuo Yi’s army directly commanded s.h.i.+ Yuting’s general!
The game of chess was over and the doorbell rang.
Uncle Yu walked over to open the door. A short while later, Uncle Yu came in with two people behind him.
Zuo Weiyi instantly recognized both of them. It was none other than s.h.i.+ Le and s.h.i.+ Nuannuan.
“Mr. President, the Speaker is here.”
Zuo Yi’s face sank as soon as he saw s.h.i.+ Le.
He stood up before he walked toward the leather sofa at the side as he said coldly, “I wonder what brought the Speaker all the way here today?”
When he heard this, s.h.i.+ Le’s face darkened immediately.
This d.a.m.n old man was really trying to embarra.s.s him!
However, s.h.i.+ Le had never been outdone even though Zuo Yi was the president of the country.
“Well, what else can I do? Someone is shamelessly holding onto my grandson because he does not have a grandson of his own!”
