Chapter 24

Looking at Xiao Zhang's broken heart, Lao Bai felt somewhat guilty. After all, getting beaten by a baby was truly difficult to accept, and it was a double blow.

Feeling sorry for Xiao Zhang~

At least he didn't listen to Lao Zhen's suggestion to play with his grandson.

Lao Bai felt a bit relieved, and looked at Xiao Zhang with a sympathetic expression.

Seeing Xiao Zhang's state, Zhen Fugui didn't say much. He thought that if Xiao Zhang kept going, he might jump off a building. He glanced at his precious grandson and quietly suggested:

"Maybe you shouldn't play anymore."

"Okay." *2

The Jia brothers both felt that the other's chess skills weren't anything extraordinary, so there was no point in continuing the game. They immediately agreed and started playing Go with each other.

When Xiao Zhang saw how easily the two babies agreed to stop, it made him feel even worse. This was clearly a disregard for him! It hurt more than losing to them!

Tears began to flow from his eyes. It was too unfair to bully someone older like this!

He thought about his certification for the 3rd Dan...

Lao Bai saw Xiao Zhang crying and immediately rushed over to comfort him. After all, it was his fault.

The surrounding chess friends also came up to offer their condolences.

After all, Xiao Zhang had become a 3rd Dan at such a young age, and most people around here knew him. They were all shocked to see Xiao Zhang crying in the chess hall.

After understanding the situation, they all looked at him with sympathy. They really couldn't comment on this.

Although 3rd Dan wasn't high, it depended on the situation.

Not to mention the difficulty of getting into Dan ranks, it could easily crush someone like Lao Bai, who was a local park champion. There were only 1,073 people in the world who could pressure a 3rd Dan.

It was clear how tough it was.

And these two babies had just defeated the 3rd Dan Xiao Zhang!

Terrifying indeed.

Thinking about Xiao Zhang's past experiences, everyone around him showed a look of pity.

After Xiao Zhang became a Dan, he had faced high-level opponents in competitions and was utterly defeated. He had lost to former champions and seed players, but he never got discouraged. He would always smile and say, "I'll definitely win next time."

But this time...

Xiao Zhang thought to himself, damn, even though he lost to previous opponents, he could still see the distance between them and now!

Looking at the other side, they clearly looked like they were playing casually, and now they were playing Go.

How could he play like that?!

Thinking of his childhood goal, his goal since learning Go had always been to reach the 10th Dan!

The 10th Dan, the ultimate goal of all Dan players, could only be achieved by one person. It was the final dream of every Go player.

He couldn't give up! So what if they were geniuses? He had lost before, but as long as he could progress, he would step by step reach the 10th Dan.

With this thought, Xiao Zhang's face became resolute. Before reaching the 10th Dan, he would never give up.

Thus, Xiao Zhang started his new journey with the Jia family's sons... Ah, no, as their novice instructor?

"Lao Zhen! When will you bring your grandson over to visit? Or when do you have time?" Lao Bai, after seeing Xiao Zhang regain his fighting spirit, immediately called Zhen Fugui.

Now he wanted to see the two child prodigies who could defeat even a 3rd Dan player like Xiao Zhang. Truly amazing, both twins were equally gifted.

"... Let's wait until next time when we go downstairs. My grandson is still too young, he can only walk around downstairs for now." Zhen Fugui didn't want any accidents happening to his precious grandson.

"Alright, let me know when you go downstairs. If your grandson needs anything, feel free to reach out to me." Lao Bai liked these child prodigies very much.

"Got it, make sure your son also gives you a grandson soon," Zhen Fugui said before hanging up.

Lao Bai, thinking of his son, started to ponder. After all, his son was already in his twenties and should be starting a family soon. Thinking of other people's grandsons, he became determined.

"Dinner time!" Jia Fuhai and Zhen Linna shouted while bringing food to the table.

The brothers immediately put down the Go game and rushed to the kitchen, and everyone else joined them.

"It smells amazing," Zhen Linqi said, her mouth watering.

Jia Fuhai's cooking skills had been improving, to the point where Zhen Linna and Feifei almost couldn't eat anyone else's food.

After everyone started eating.

"Xiao Hai, with your cooking skills, why don't you open a restaurant?" Zhen Fugui said, smiling as he enjoyed his meal.

"Forget it, I'd be too busy running a restaurant," Jia Fuhai said, making a face. He was determined to be a laid-back person, not someone working at a job.

"Yeah, better stay home, Xiao Hai. How could I have fun if you're working?" Zhen Linna immediately defended him.

Meanwhile, Jia Jiaqi, who was holding a spoon, focused on eating his congee, ignoring everything else.

Jia Naji then picked up his chopsticks and ate his congee.

At first, everyone was amazed, but after testing their intelligence, they all felt that the brothers' performance was truly genius, no big deal.

"Qiqi, you don't need to teach school knowledge so early, it might be better to teach some memory-based languages," Zhen Fugai said, thinking about his son learning school knowledge. He wondered if he was pushing him too hard, although his son seemed unaware.

Zhen Fugui almost said something, but then remembered that even Xiao Zhang, a professional player, had been defeated by his grandson, and with his wealth, he decided not to comment further.

"Sure, but unfortunately, I only know Eagle language, so it looks like I'll have to hire someone," Zhen Linqi said, contemplating. She only wanted her son to be healthy.

"Hire someone then, but don't hire too many. Just teach one or two hours a day. The rest is up to the kids to choose," Jia Fuhai said. He knew his son's talents, but since he was still young, he wanted to let them decide.

"Got it, I'll arrange it," Zhen Linqi nodded.

Zhen Linna quietly continued eating. She knew what she was good at, so she left it to her brother and sister to arrange things.

Looking at Jia Fuhai, Zhen Fugui felt a bit sour!

In the past, he was the one who spoke in the Zhen family, and everyone listened.

Now looking at his two daughters' behavior, he couldn't help but feel discontent.

He turned to look at his two quiet grandsons and sighed in relief. As long as his daughters were happy, he was happy.

The family seemed very warm at that moment.

"Feifei, aren't you coming home today?" After the meal, Zhen Linna asked, putting down her chopsticks.

"She's busy, her master took her out for a consultation," Zhen Linqi answered, repeating what Lin Feifei had told her.

Hearing this, Zhen Fugui furrowed his brows, and the warm moment dissipated. He gave Jia Fuhai a glare, secretly cursing him.

Jia Fuhai knew that every time Lin Feifei's father-in-law was mentioned, Zhen Fugui looked like he wanted to get rid of him, so he just stayed quiet and continued eating.

Though Zhen Fugui didn't seem to have treated Lin Feifei badly, he acted like a guest whenever she was around.

Since the two sisters didn't say anything, Zhen Fugui didn't comment further.

After finishing the meal, the two sisters started cleaning up. Since Jia Fuhai didn't want to start lying down directly in front of his in-laws, he helped his sisters with the cleaning.

Zhen Fugui and his wife helped clean the grandsons' bodies.
