Xuxu seduces him

Chapter 97 Chess Game
Liang Jingwan's tone could be considered rude. Director Xi frowned and raised his hand to take it.

It is not common to give checks as gifts, but it does happen, so he was not very surprised. He just lowered his head and glanced casually. But when he saw the account number of the issuer, his face suddenly changed.

He immediately glanced at Liao Qihua. He was very familiar with this CCB account. Money was transferred into it regularly every month.

Liao Qihua avoided Director Xi's gaze guiltily, his face pale.

The remaining three people who didn't know turned to look at Liang Jingwan in confusion. Liang Jingwan just said slowly, "Director Xi, please keep it."

Director Xi's five fingers suddenly clenched the check tightly, and he smiled. He first answered Liang Jingwan's words, "Don't worry, Xiaowan," and then turned to talk to Lao Liang, "Brother Liang and sister-in-law, please do as you please. I still have to entertain the guests here."

Lao Liang and Ms. Su nodded, "Then we'll go in first."

In front of several people, Director Xi asked the person who registered the gift book to write Liang Jingwan's name on it, with an amount of 500,000.

Director Xi held the check in his palm and crumpled it into a ball. He lowered his voice and said coldly, "Is the account number on this check yours?"

"I...I..." Liao Qihua didn't know how to explain, so he could only speak softly and slowly: "Yiwen, I'll go back and tell you after the birthday banquet, okay?"

There were so many guests coming and going, and Liao Qihua looked at him tenderly and lovingly, so Xi Yiwen had no choice but to agree.

On the other side, after entering the banquet hall and leaving Liao Qihua a little distance away, Ms. Su asked, "What does the check you gave him mean? Why did the woman next to him look so scared when she saw you?"

"That's right, um... I can't explain it for a while." Liang Jingwan frowned slightly, "I'll tell you when I get home."

Seeing this, Ms. Su did not continue to ask questions.

Not long after the four of them sat down, the attendant beside Mr. Xi appeared and said that Mr. Xi wanted Liang Jingwan to come over. Liang Jingwan saw Ms. Su nod from the corner of her eye, then she stood up and followed the attendant.

After taking a few steps, Uncle Ming, who was accompanying him, went to the main table next door and called Xi Jingcheng.

The moment Liang Jingwan saw Xi Jingcheng's clothes, she thought to herself, why are her dress and Xi Jingcheng's tie both light blue? Isn't it obvious to others...

She slowed down her pace and wondered in her heart who had asked Liao Qihua to deliver the dress.

When Xi Jingcheng heard Mr. Xi calling him over, he looked at Uncle Ming in confusion, but when Mr. Xi spoke, he naturally stood up.

Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng walked side by side through the crowd of guests, and caught the attention of many people for a moment. The media at the birthday party all picked up their cameras.

Uncle Ming walked in front leading the way. The banquet had not yet begun and Mr. Xi was staying in the lounge.

Uncle Ming raised his hand and knocked on the door, then turned the doorknob. Through the gap, Liang Jingwan first saw the broad and tall body of the man, sitting face to face with Mr. Xi on both sides of the chessboard.

After walking a few steps inside, she could see the man's face clearly.

Liang Jingwan called out "Mr. Xi", paused for a second, and whispered, "Director Gu."

Xi Jingcheng beside them also called the two of them, "Grandpa, Uncle Gu." Old Xi smiled, nodded at the two of them, and said nothing.

Liang Jingwan felt strange that he called someone over but didn't say anything, but she didn't show it on her face.

Uncle Ming pushed the cakes on the coffee table towards Liang Jingwan, motioning her to eat, saying that the hotel pastry chef had just made them and sent them over. Then he walked to the tea table, picked up the purple clay teapot with a handle on the tea stove, and brewed a cup of tea for her and Xi Jingcheng. Liang Jingwan carefully selected a piece of exquisite pastry, pinched it with her fingers, and gently put it into her mouth. It melted in her mouth, but the elderly are fond of sweets, so the pastry chef also took into account Mr. Xi's taste and made it sweeter.

Liang Jingwan had just taken a sip when the sweetness invaded her entire mouth. She took a tissue and placed the pastry on it.

"Is it not delicious?" Xi Jingcheng asked.

Liang Jingwan looked conflicted, "It's okay, but it's a little too sweet."

After hearing this, Xi Jingcheng also picked up a piece of dessert and looked at it, "Is it sweet?"

"Try it."

The lounge was large, and Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng sat on the sofa, some distance away from Mr. Xi and Gu Zhengchen. Not to mention that there was a symphony orchestra playing outside, so the conversation between Mr. Xi and Gu Zhengchen did not reach the ears of the two people on the sofa.

Mr. Xi glanced meaningfully at Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng, taking in the scene just now, then looked up at Gu Zhengchen, and said with a smile: "When Jingcheng and Xiaowan came over just now, I'm afraid they caught the eyes of many people, and the news has spread."

After a short pause, he continued, "Why didn't you tell an old man like me earlier? If I had known you had such thoughts, I wouldn't have arranged a marriage for you."

There was an element of deliberateness in Mr. Xi asking people to call Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng. Before they entered the room, the photos taken by the entertainment reporters would probably be all over the news now, occupying the front page headlines, and even have the word "explosive" added at the end.

But after hearing what Gu Zhengchen said, Mr. Xi was surprised for a moment, but the news had already spread, and there was nothing he could do. His words at this moment seemed to be trying to push the responsibility away and also to blame Gu Zhengchen.

Gu Zhengchen smiled and said, "Uncle Xi is right. It's my fault for not saying it earlier."

The steam from the purple clay teapot on the tea stove rose up, making Gu Zhengchen's eyebrows and eyes look even deeper and warmer. He turned half-way following Mr. Xi's gaze and saw Liang Jingwan's sight, with a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Girl from the Liang family." Old Xi raised his hand and called Liang Jingwan over.

Liang Jingwan didn't understand why, so she obediently stepped forward.

The platform was an inch higher, Liang Jingwan took off her high heels, stepped in barefoot, knelt on the cushion, and her skirt fell apart.

"Zhengchen insisted that the game was already decided. Can you help me figure out how to win this game?"

Mr. Xi looked at Liang Jingwan with a slightly teasing look, and Gu Zhengchen also smiled in response.

Liang Jingwan bit her lower lip with her white teeth and silently looked at the chess game. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Zhengchen turning his head and sideways, picking up the teacup on the tea table and sipping it. His eyes seemed to be only focused on the steaming tea.

Liang Jingwan picked up a white chess piece.

While he put down the white piece with two fingers, he moved the remaining three fingers slightly to put a black piece into his palm, tightened it, and then stood up slightly and placed his hands in front of him.

At this point in the game, the white pieces turned the tables, and the black pieces, which had more than half of their pieces eaten, announced Gu Zhengchen's defeat.

Xi Lao's hearty laughter rang out in the lounge, "Look, now you've won. Someone needs to come and teach you a lesson."

Gu Zhengchen raised his eyelids, looked at the chess game that had already been decided, and looked up to meet Liang Jingwan's eyes.

The girl lowered her head and frowned, her face calm. When she noticed his gaze, she blinked her watery eyes back and forth, revealing a bit of innocence, as if asking him why he was looking at her.
