"My mother is Chu Suixin and my father is Su Yian. They passed away a few years ago."

  As soon as he mentioned his father, Su Nian's mood suddenly fell.

  That tall and strong man who accompanied her childhood, a gentle and elegant good father and good husband, would never return to her side again.

  Even if Chen Yunhua is very good to her now, in Su Nian's heart, no one can replace her own father.

  Gu Zi Chen's thin lips moved slightly, wanting to comfort Su Nian Nian, but didn't know what to say, so he gave up.

  Bang!

  The old man's chess piece fell onto the board, knocking open several other pieces, his expression also seemed to be frozen on his face.

  "Grandfather Gu...?" Amidst Su Nian's cries, Old Man Gu regained his smile and calmly rearranged the chess pieces, as if the earlier loss of composure had never occurred.

  Su Yian...

  It's been many years since I've heard this name, but the old man still remembers what he looks like.

  At that time, Su Yi'an was just emerging in the business world and had gained his appreciation. Also because of their good relationship due to Go chess, the two had played against each other many times, and some people even jokingly called them "forgetting years old friends on the chessboard".

  The old man played chess while quietly sizing up Su Nian Nian.

  Her features were delicate, her skin was fair and bright, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, she wore a simple white dress, and when she hesitated and frowned, her expression was just like her father's.

  Mr. Gu calmed his mind, driving out the image of that white-shirted figure with a warm smile from his brain, and suddenly six ruthless and decisive moves appeared, each one more vicious than the last. Su Niannian was stunned on the spot.

  "Little girl, you still have a son, what do you want me to do this time?" The old man asked with a smile.

  Su knew he was no match for Gu, so he threw in the towel and said, "Grandfather Gu, you win. I concede defeat willingly."

  "Haha." The old man let out a hearty laugh. "It's quite interesting playing chess with you, little girl. How about another round?"

  Su Nian shook his head, "Grandfather Gu, I'd better not make a fool of myself... You're being too harsh and it will leave me with a bad impression. I'll just go downstairs and play cards instead."

  The old man smiled again and cast his eyes on his grandson, "It seems that only you will accompany me down."

  Gu Zi Chen nodded slightly and exchanged positions with Su Nian Nian, quickly gathering the chess pieces.

  Su Nian originally wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but after seeing Gu Zichen's attitude, her curiosity was piqued, so she decided to stay and watch the scene unfold.

  The two men put away the chess pieces and started again, with Gu Zichen playing black first. The old man didn't give an inch, and the two of them were evenly matched from the opening move.

  The old man's heart sank, Su Year was like his father, although the chess path was strange and often had unexpected ideas, but in the end it was too gentle, without the courage to put people to death. But this grandson was different, step by step, openly and secretly setting traps everywhere, if he wasn't careful, he would fall into his encirclement, forcing him to respond with all his might.

  Because of Gu Zichen's shady background, the old man didn't particularly like this grandson. However, he had to admit that this grandson was indeed the one who resembled him the most.

  Two people came and went, with a calm expression, occasionally sipping tea, and being extremely calm.

  Su Nian was almost frightened out of her wits, these two people were simply too terrifying...
