The Sweetest Medicine

His grandson was impressive, much more expensive than Old Man Jiang’s.

Since he was worried about his grandson’s future anyway, he thought he might as well match him up with this doctor and see if they could create a story together.

More importantly, if this little brat married his grandson, Old Man Jiang would be furious.

Just the thought was beautiful.

Hahaha.

Elder Jiang slammed his hand on the table and the chess pieces on the chessboard shook.

“Old Man, what are you saying? Don’t you know that she is my grandson’s girlfriend,” he growled angrily.

Grandpa Jian’s face darkened. He didn’t care. “She’s just his girlfriend, it’s not like they’re married. She still has the right to choose. Why can’t she choose someone better?”

“If you want to corner someone, then aim for me. Do you think you can do anything just because I was recently sick? Believe it or not, I’m going to get my grandson to beat up your grandson until his face is bruised and swollen.”

“Your grandson might not be able to win against my grandson. My grandson is in the special forces.”

“My grandson was also in the special forces. Moreover, he was much more impressive.”

“Tch, my grandson is more impressive. He came home with a bunch of medals.”

“Pfft, my grandson came home with a bunch too. He doesn’t even care about them. He is now a billion-dollar venture capital expert; a legend in the business world that everyone is fighting to work with.”

“My grandson is more impressive.”

“My grandson is more impressive.”

…

The two old men quarreled over whose grandson was more impressive and ended up parting ways because of it.

Yu Gangan was speechless, “…”

Everyone was dumbfounded…no, to be exact, she was the only one that was dumbfounded.

Jiang Qi was very calm. “Grandpa Jian, watch your step. Come again next time,” she said as she saw the old man out.

Grandpa Jian was furious, “I’m never coming again.”

Standing on the balcony, Elder Jiang yelled down at Grandpa Jian, “Who wants you to come anyway?”

He then looked indifferently at the blank Yu Gangan, “…Why are you standing there? Come play chess with me.”

Seeing that Jiang Qi was calm, Yu Gangan assumed that this was a common scene. Since that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about. So, Yu Gangan sat down opposite Elder Jiang.

Yu Gangan used to play chess with her grandfather, but her technique was average. She was very slow and often took a long time to come to a decision. Her quiet and stable approach usually made one assume that she was a defensive player.

On the other hand, Elder Jiang was an offensive player and attacked fiercely. He was quick and ruthless, not giving her much time to think. As soon as he made a move, he would immediately rush her, “Quick, quick, quick, make your move.”

Yu Gangan’s grandfather played in the same way as Yu Gangan. He was slow and careful, like he was diagnosing a patient and never played as aggressively as Elder Jiang.

Yu Gangan never encountered such an opponent, so she quickly lost several games in a row.

“Yes!”

Elder Jiang laughed out loud.

Yu Gangan frowned. What move should she make next?

“Quick, quick, quick, stop hesitating,” Elder Jiang urged. “It’s already our fifth round. I won you so easily. Why are you so useless?”

Yu Gangan glanced at him unhappily before looking down at the chessboard. All of a sudden, she noticed a good move. She curved her lips into a smile, picked up the chariot and moved it gently across the board. “Gotcha.”

Elder Jiang looked down. Oh no, his cannon had been killed.

With this one move, the entire game was overturned.

He was being checked!
