Old Master Yu looked at her and casually picked up a chess piece and handed it to her. "Take it. I owe you a favor."

Su Yuan clutched the white jade chess piece in her hand, carefully recalling what had just happened, and said cautiously, "Do you mean to say that this favor is for me?"

"What do you think?"

Mr. Yu did not respond directly, but instead threw the question to her.

Su Yuan closed her lips tightly, and suddenly felt that it was a bit silly for her to be entangled in so many things.

Could it be that I really couldn't survive if I hadn't met Mr. Yu before?

In an instant, the fog in Su Yuan's heart dissipated.

Just like the first ray of sunshine in the early morning shining into the thick fog, everything became clear.

She put the chess piece in her hand back into the chess box.

The black chess piece stayed on her fingertips for a moment, as if telling silent words.

"I don't see it that way. If Mr. Yu wants to repay the favor, he will. If not, I won't gain anything from holding this pawn."

Su Yuan's voice was steady, but there was a hint of helplessness in her firmness.

Su Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, based on your chess playing style, Mr. Yu, even if I didn't ask, you would definitely be able to deny it with a clear conscience."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in her words.

"Besides, I don't like to get too serious about these little things. It's meaningless."

Su Yuan's eyes were indifferent, as if to say that this was just a trivial matter.

Su Yuan thought that this nonchalant attitude would anger Mr. Yu.

However, things developed very differently from what she had imagined.

Unexpectedly, he actually laughed.

The laughter was hearty and cheerful, as if someone was amused by something funny.

"As expected of Old Man Su's granddaughter, meeting her in person is better than hearing about her."

There was a glint of approval in Mr. Yu's eyes.

Su Yuan looked up in surprise, not understanding why he was not angry.

That stunned expression made her look even more adorable and charming.

Old Man Yu just smiled slightly and said slowly, "If you take the chess piece without even asking, I'll start to doubt whether you can really be Old Man Su's granddaughter."

The teasing and anticipation in his tone were evident.

You are my grandpa’s number one fan!

Su Yuan complained inwardly, but tried to remain calm on her face.

She muttered to herself, not daring to let Mr. Yu discover her true thoughts.

Mr. Yu had no idea what she was mumbling in her mind and continued to teach her.

It seemed as if he was already used to such conversations and didn't care about Su Yuan's inner turmoil.

"Then what are your plans next?"

Mr. Yu asked with concern, his eyes full of expectation.

Su Yuan lowered her head and pondered for a while before slowly saying, "What do you think your plans should be with me?"

There was a challenging tone in the words.

Old Master Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he saw his old rival return before his eyes.

The girl in front of him reminded him of the time when he played chess with Old Man Su.

"Mr. Yu?"

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Su Yuan couldn't help but call out softly.

There was a mix of question and worry in her voice.

Only then did Mr. Yu suddenly realize.

He seemed to wake up from his memories and his eyes refocused on Su Yuan.

"I say, you should fight for those antique shops and take them back first."

Mr. Yu’s words were concise and clear, but full of power.

This is indeed in line with his style.

Su Yuan calmly analyzed the current situation.

She has a sharp gaze and a steady mind.

Then she said in a nonchalant tone: "I don't really care about this store. I just want to get back the antiques in the store."

These utensils represent my grandfather's years of hard work and efforts, and Zhou Jianhua cannot just give them away.

After hearing this, Mr. Yu glanced at Su Yuan with a strange look.

Su Yuan met his gaze without any intention of retreating.

The two stared at each other for a long time, as if engaged in a silent contest.

Finally, Mr. Yu suddenly laughed.

"As stubborn as he really is."

Su Yuan asked in return: "Did Mr. Yu call me here just to say these insignificant things?"

Mr. Yu was not angry even though she hit the nail on the head. Instead, he nodded happily and then returned to his serious expression.

"Actually, our Yu family wants to cooperate with you in the field of antiques."

Hearing this, Su Yuan's expression suddenly became much more serious.

"There's one thing I must make clear in advance: I will absolutely not sell any antiques to foreigners. I think Mr. Yu should be very clear about this, right?"

Mr. Yu nodded when he heard this. "It's not a sale. On the contrary, it's bought back from abroad."

Su Yuan pondered for a long time before slowly answering.

"Is this the reason for your disagreement with my grandfather?"

Although she didn't point it out directly, she hinted at it in her words.

Old Master Yu was shocked, and after a bitter smile, he asked, "Did your grandfather tell you this?"

Su Yuan shook her head slightly.

At this moment, Mr. Yu's attitude towards Su Yuan changed.

It's not just because she can see the truth, but more importantly, Su Yuan dares to speak frankly to her face.

This is what really made Mr. Yu look at her with admiration.

After all, some young people always like to be smart and always think they can figure out other people's thoughts.

"You can go back and think about this matter now. When you have made up your mind, we can discuss the specific details."

After Mr. Yu said this, a barely perceptible trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Su Yuan quickly stood up and said goodbye.

When she left the room, she happened to meet Yu Nanxi who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Su Yuan, if you are free, why not have a cup of tea with me?"

This seemed to be the first time she invited someone so directly, so Yu Nanxi's face turned slightly red and she looked a little shy.

For a long time, Su Yuan did not respond.

Seeing this, Yu Nanxi considerately helped her out and said:

"I asked you out at the last minute, but you probably don't have time. Let's talk another day."

After a moment of silence, Su Yuan finally spoke.

"If I have some free time, I'll go."

Just when Yu Nanxi was about to decline on her behalf, Su Yuan suddenly accepted the invitation.

Yu Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed across her beautiful face.

Obviously, this reaction was completely beyond her expectations.

Then she stammered, "Okay, then let's go to the back garden."

When she finished speaking, her tone was somewhat forced, as if she was filled with helplessness.

After saying this, she started walking mechanically. Her steps seemed a little stiff, and each step was uncertain.

Su Yuan tried hard to suppress her laughter, surprised at the completely different styles of behavior between Miss Yu and Mr. Yu.

Yu Nanxi's behavior made her feel very surprised and curious.

In the small garden, various flowers are blooming in a riot of color.
