The old man left, and the brother and sister walked back home side by side.
“Sister, I really want to take that old man as my master,” Xuxu suddenly said.
Guo Miao was a little surprised. She never knew that her brother liked things like chess.
“Why?” she asked.
“Sis, I hope to become someone as powerful as you,” Xuxu said.
Guo Miao looked at her sensible little brother in front of her and felt a little sorry for him. Xuxu was in his prime, and he had grown tall and straight, like a small poplar.
“I don’t want you to do something you don’t like because of this. Do you understand?” Guo Miao said.
“Playing chess is very tough. Although you look very handsome when you win on the stage, it takes a long time to train. Even after a long time of hard work, you might not succeed,” Guo Miao said.
There was usually only one champion in this kind of competition. If he couldn’t win the championship, then the chess player’s life would be meaningless.
Guo Miao knew the cruelty of this competition, so she didn’t want her brother to experience such harshness.
“Don’t worry, Sis. Other than that, 1 really like playing chess,” Xuxu said.
Xuxu had learned how to play chess from an old man in the village. Although he wasn’t very good at that time, after so many years of learning, he had some results.
“I like it, so I hope to do better. Even if I fail, 1 want to try,” Xuxu said.
Looking at the determination in her brother’s eyes, Guo Miao’s heart skipped a beat.
In her previous life, Xuxu probably had a similar dream. If it weren’t for her, Xuxu might have had a good life. Everything she was doing now was to make up for the regrets she had left behind in that time and space.
“But you have to promise me that honor is not the most important thing, okay?” Guo Miao said.
Xuxu stared into Guo Miao’s eyes and nodded solemnly. He then made a pinky promise to Guo Miao.
‘This time, 1’11 definitely let you live a life of your own free will,’ Guo Miao said in her heart.
Just as the siblings were talking, Lu Ning ran over in a hurry. “Miao Miao, do you know anyone from Ningxiang Restaurant? Fu Yue seems to have caused some trouble there.”
“Ningxiang Restaurant?” Guo Miao was confused.
At this moment, in Ningxiang Restaurant in Haicheng, a girl in a couture dress stared at Fu Yu with a look of disdain.
“You country bumpkin from Dongshan, since when did you get to eat such good food?”
“Who are you calling a country bumpkin!” Fu Yue looked at the girl indignantly. “Li Bing, don’t look for trouble for no reason, okay? I came to order first. Are you going to snatch it from me?”
The girl named Li Bing was none other than Fu Yue’s college classmate. Her family had previously helped Jinyue Group with a project, and they had made a lot of money back then.
Later on, after he went out on his own, although the income was not as good as before, he could still support Li Bing’s life of luxury.
Li Bing liked Xu Yang, who liked Fu Yue, so she had been making things difficult for the latter.
“How can a person like you afford to eat at Ningxiang Restaurant?” Li Bing looked at the manager who was obviously in a difficult position. “This “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” is limited to 50 servings per day. 1 can buy it for double the price.”
The “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” soup at Ningxiang Restaurant was a masterpiece. From the selection of materials to the production, it was quite exquisite. Moreover, it took a long time to complete. Online reservations were only open to VIPs. Those who did not have a VIP status could only queue offline.
The reason why Fu Yue had come to buy the dish was that Guo Hua had said that she was embarrassed to have disturbed Guo Fu’s family and wanted to treat Guo Fu’s family to something good.
Fu Yue had gotten up early in the morning to queue up. How could she give up just because of Li Bing?
“I’m a VIP. Although I didn’t make an appointment, I should have priority, right? 1 say, your Ningxiang Restaurant should take care of your brand image. Don’t attract just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.”
Li Bing’s tone was harsh, like a knife cutting through Fu Yue’s body.
“Li Bing, don’t go too far. It’s just that your family has some stinking money.
Do you think everyone is like you?”
“Do you have the nerve to call someone like you my classmate?” Li Bing frowned and sized Fu Yue up. “I think Haicheng University shouldn’t have accepted a student like you. You’re ruining the school’s spirit.”
Li Bing walked up to the manager. “Manager Zhang, our Li family has been a VIP for decades. You probably don’t want us to not work with you in the future, right?”
The manager looked at Fu Yue with a troubled expression.. “Miss, are you willing to give this spot to Miss Li?”
