CHAPTER 92 - REMEMBER OF THE OLD
But after taking a few steps, Ye Shenghe immediately put away his contempt. His daughter's chess skills far exceeded his expectations.
Although Ye Shenghe played chess frequently, he was not an expert in chess.
At first, the two of them were about the same speed, but gradually, Ye Shenghe's speed of landing became slower and slower, and the time he took to think became longer and longer. On the other hand, Ye Yuning was playing a chess piece with one hand while supporting his head with the other.
Ye Yuying was still outside, she was deliberately stalling for time, wanting to see how long Ye Yuying could endure. As a result, the chessboard that was originally supposed to end in less than an hour was forcibly pulled over by Ye Yuning.
When Ye Yuning was the last one left, she couldn't help but wipe away the sweat on her forehead, "How many are there?"
"There's no need to count. Daddy lost to me by seventeen sons." Ye Yuning giggled. Throughout the entire chess game, Ye Yuning had firmly engraved every mistake in her heart.
Ye Shenghe did not believe him. He counted carefully and found that it was indeed not bad.
"Yu Ning, who did you learn this chess from? Even Father can't beat you! " It was hard for Ye Shenghe to hide his astonishment, he never thought that his daughter, who usually did not go out of her way, would actually have such a high level of chess skills.
"I learned it from Yi Zu!" Ye Yuning casually said, but Ye Shenghe did not doubt his words, and was even more pleased with Ye Yuning's Inherent Skill.
Just as they were talking, Manager Qiu suddenly ran over from the front, "Boss, an esteemed guest has arrived. I heard that we have a pair of east beads, we must take them out and take a look."
"If he wants to see it, just give it to him. There's no need to report it to me." Ye Shenghe did not even raise his head as he stared at the Go Board.
Manager Qiu was in a difficult situation: "But what he wants is that pair of Gemini beads."
Gemini pearls were two beads that could interbreed with each other. They were extremely precious and hard to come by. Especially since the pair in the shop was the rarest and most expensive of the pearls, the Eastern Pearl.
The Gemini Beads were the size of an egg, and their entire bodies emitted a sparkling and translucent luster. Their quality was excellent, and the rarest thing was that the two pearls were exactly the same.
If it was any ordinary item, even if it was hard to come by, Manager Qiu would not blink his eyes. After all, it was a good thing for someone to buy it, but this pair of Gemini Beads was different.
This was something that Ye Shenghe had spent a lot of effort to find, to serve as Ye Yuning's dowry in the future. Manager Qiu also knew of this matter, which was why he was in such a difficult situation, so he came to inquire Ye Shenghe's intentions.
If Ye Shenghe did not allow it, then no matter how much of a power Manager Qiu had, he would not dare to recklessly take out the Gemini Beads.
Hearing that, Ye Shenghe frowned, "Tell him, this pair of Gemini Beads are not for sale."
Manager Qiu spread out his hands and said: "I have said it, but the guest said it was because he came with a name, and only wanted to see, he did not have the intention of stealing my beloved."
If it was a normal day, Manager Qiu would definitely refuse such a request. He didn't buy any of the stores. However, the situation was special and he didn't know what to do. What's more, the other party's status did not seem to be low.
Seeing Manager Qiu in such a difficult situation, Ye Yuning couldn't help but say: "Father, how about we just sell it to him?"
"No way!" Ye Shenghe shook his head without thinking, "That pair of pearls father spent a lot of effort to get it, it can even be ranked in the top three on your dowry list, how can it be sold to someone I don't recognize so casually?"
Ye Yuning was helpless, her father was stubborn sometimes and refused to listen to anyone's words. It was only a piece of jewelry, so there was no need to be so serious.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yuning could only say: "Then let the shopkeeper take it out for him to see, and tell him that it had long been decided by someone else."
Ye Shenghe nodded, "YuNing, it's good that you've made your decision, this pearl is yours to begin with."
With that, Ye Shenghe indicated for Manager Qiu to take the Gemini Beads.
Manager Qiu ran into the east wing and took out a bunch of keys. He opened all the doors and took out a green box. Just by looking at how careful his hands were, one could tell how precious this thing was.
But Ye Yuning did not give it another glance, and followed him out of the room. Lifting her eyes, he saw a young man dressed in a raven robe.
He had a slender and straight body, elegant and handsome facial features, and a pair of smiling eyes. He was like the spring breeze, an elegant and beautiful youth! But when Ye Yuning saw him clearly, his face darkened and he almost left with a flick of his sleeves.
She recognized this face when it turned to dust!
Fu Ranzhi! The son of Duke of Pingjiang, Fu Ranzhi!
When he saw him, Ye Yuning's mind couldn't help but think back to his previous life.
Back then, when she had just married into Duke of Pingjiang's residence, Fu Ranzhi had treated her pretty well. Even though she had Ye Yuying as her concubine and a few of her concubines, she had always thought that Fu Ranzhi truly treated her with sincerity.
It wasn't until before he died did Ye Yuning realize that Fu Ranzhi's motives were impure. His wolfish ambition was completely covered up by his dignified appearance, Ye Yuning hated himself for being blind, and actually married into him.
After taking a few deep breaths, Ye Yuning finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart with much difficulty. In front of Fu Ranzhi, she simply could not pretend to smile and welcome him.
Ye Shenghe, who was walking in front, did not see the expression on Ye Yuning's face.
"Young master, I am truly sorry. That pair of Twin Pearls was set as my daughter's dowry in my early years." Since Ye Shenghe said this, Fu Ranzhi naturally did not say that he wanted to buy more.
"I was rash, I wonder if I can borrow the Gemini Beads to have a look? In another month, it will be the birthday of our ancestor. I originally wanted to buy this pair of Gemini Beads as a birthday present, but even though he cannot do so now, if he can get to the bottom of it, this trip will not be in vain. " Fu Ranzhi was gentle, refined, and polite. He was suitable for advancing and retreating, and he had a good impression of him.
Ye Shenghe immediately laughed, "Of course."
Although he did not know the identity of the other party, but from their words and demeanor, Ye Shenghe, who had seen a lot of people, could tell that they were wealthy.
Ye Yuning opened her mouth because she wanted his daughter to show off in front of this elegant young master. It was just that Ye Shenghe was not clear what Ye Yuning was thinking, but her unintentional request had touched upon her daughter's heart.
After Ye Yuning heard this, her body trembled. Facing his father's request, she only pursed her lips and feigned weakness, "Father, I'm a little dizzy."
She didn't even give Fu Ranzhi a glance as hatred was written all over her pale face. Only, to prevent her father from seeing that something was wrong, she forced herself to suppress the disgust in her heart.
