She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 89 He actually knows Go
The next day was New Year's Eve. At 2 p.m., Gu Tingyu and Su Maiqi appeared at the gate of the Gu family's old house.
The two were wearing two down jackets, one black and one white, that reached their ankles. They looked very simple, but at the same time, it highlighted their good looks and aura.
If these two were walking down the street hand in hand, they would definitely turn heads.
The housekeeper helped bring the New Year's goods inside.
Gu Tingyu prepared a box of carefully selected Australian lobsters. Each lobster was large and meaty, with a bright red shell, symbolizing a prosperous and festive New Year atmosphere.
There was also a box of top-quality salmon from Norway, with vibrant colors and clear textures, representing abundance and prestige.
These two dishes appear on the Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner menu every year, and are always prepared by Gu Tingyu.
The goods and products were carefully selected for him by his good friend overseas; they are not available on the market.
The old man liked it very much when I brought it home for the first time.
Later, it became a regular dish for the Gu family every year. Gu Tingyu would make sure his friends arranged for it to be air-freighted so that it would be brought back fresh early on New Year's Eve and served that evening.
Every year, Gu Tingyu would prepare two portions, the other of which would be delivered directly to his mother Lin Jinyu's residence.
Of course, the same style was also prepared for Su Mailou this year.
In addition, each person received a bottle of classified growth red wine from Bordeaux, France, all selected from good vintages.
There was also a large box of bird's nest for my mother; it was of the highest quality, crystal clear, and pure in texture.
The tonic given to Grandpa was cordyceps, known as an "Oriental treasure," with each piece carefully selected, golden in color and firm in texture.
Upon entering the house, no one else had arrived yet. The housekeeper said that the master was in the study.
The old house was decorated with red lanterns and pasted with couplets, creating a strong New Year atmosphere.
The heating was on full blast, making the room warm and cozy. Gu Tingyu and Su Maiqi took off their down jackets, revealing their Tang suits and cheongsams underneath.
It is very eye-catching and also very harmonious.
Gu Tingyu wore a dark blue Tang suit, which was well-tailored and made him look even more handsome and dashing.
Su Maiqi wore a red cheongsam embroidered with golden phoenixes, which was both traditional and fashionable, highlighting her elegant temperament.
These are the clothes that Gu Tingyu chose. Firstly, they are meant to match the New Year's atmosphere, as traditional clothing looks more solemn and festive.
Secondly, it was the first time they had spent Lunar New Year's Eve at their old house after getting married. Since they were newlyweds and didn't have a wedding ceremony, their matching outfits were a way of highlighting their relationship.
Gu Tingyu took Su Maiqi to the study to see his grandfather.
Mr. Gu sat at his desk in his study, deep in thought, facing a chessboard.
They didn't even notice that Gu Tingyu and Su Maiqi had entered the study.
The butler followed behind, bringing in a pot of jujube and goji berry tea, placing it on the coffee table, and said, "Master, Tingyu and his wife have come to see you."
Master Gu remained focused on the chessboard, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The Gu family then quietly left.
Gu Tingyu took Su Maiqi's hand, walked to the desk, and called out, "Grandpa."
The old man waved his hand, signaling, "Don't make a fuss."
He remained intently focused on the chessboard, his brow slightly furrowed, as if deep in thought.
Gu Tingyu shrugged at Su Maiqi with a hint of helplessness, gesturing for her to sit on the sofa next to him.
Su Maiqi couldn't help but quietly ask Gu Tingyu, "What is Grandpa doing?"
"Do you see the chessboard in front of Grandpa? As far back as I can remember, Grandpa has been studying this chessboard, and he still hasn't solved it. It's said that it was set up by Grandpa's senior apprentice, who is both Grandpa's brother and rival. The two of them have a love-hate relationship."
One year during the Spring Festival, my senior apprentice left without saying goodbye and was never heard from again. This chess game became a knot in my grandfather's heart. He would study it whenever he had free time. Especially during the Spring Festival, he would sometimes sit for several hours at a time.
Su Maiqi looked up at the chessboard on her grandfather's table: "Go?"
Gu Tingyu nodded.
Su Maiqi suddenly felt a little excited. Her father was a Go master, and it was said that he had won some national competition.
It is said that he had consulted a wise master.
Su Maiqi played Go with her father a lot when she was little, and her father even said that she had some talent in this area.
Therefore, her father also played many classic chess games with her, and even said that she was capable of participating in adult competitions.
I also considered enrolling her so she could broaden her horizons.
But then my father passed away, and none of these things came to an end.
So when she heard about such a difficult chess game, her interest was piqued, and she couldn't control her curiosity.
Su Maiqi walked to the desk and stared at the chessboard intently for a while; she was quite surprised.
Her father had told her about this game, saying it was his master's most classic triple ko cycle, and that very few people in the world could break it.
Seeing Teacher Gu frowning and deep in thought, Su Maiqi suddenly pointed to a spot on the chessboard and said, "Grandpa, try moving here."
The old man was a little surprised and looked up at Su Maiqi: "You know Go too?"
Su Maiqi frankly said, "I don't really understand it either, but this game should be breakable."
Old Master Gu's eyes darkened. This young lady seemed quite low-key and reliable when she came last time, so why is she so arrogant today?
They don't even understand it, yet they dare to say they can solve this game.
I've been studying this game for decades. Haven't I thought of or tried the moves she suggested? That's just wishful thinking.
I've tried many methods, but no matter which one I take, there's no chance of winning.
Mr. Gu simply handed the jar of white chess pieces to Su Maiqi: "Come, sit down and play with me. Let me see how you break this game."
Su Maiqi took a step.
Grandpa Gu quickly captured a large number of the chess pieces.
Sumaiqi continued to place her pieces.
Grandpa was speechless, feeling that he had gone crazy today, messing around with a little girl who knew nothing about Go.
Gu Tingyu was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Su Maiqi to know how to play Go and had been watching the game from the sidelines the whole time.
That one hour was incredible.
Gu Tingyu simply didn't know how to describe it.
This Su Maqi was completely unexpected.
At first, Gu Tingyu was quite interested in watching her fight against the old man.
As a result, he made one blunder after another, suffered setbacks step by step, fell into a disadvantageous position, and after a hard-fought battle, defeat was inevitable.
Just as Gu Tingyu was wondering where she got the confidence to fight the old man, she suddenly won a great victory.
Gu Tingyu didn't even understand how she won; the last few moves were too fast for him to react in time.
Grandpa Gu was clearly a bit confused, just staring blankly at the chessboard.
They were clearly in a commanding lead, with their strategies seemingly impregnable and invincible. How did they suddenly start to suffer defeat after defeat, losing before they even realized what was happening?
As he watched, Grandpa Gu suddenly burst into laughter.
