"A little." Zhang Yang said humbly. He could not be so arrogant in front of his girlfriend's father.
"Then let's play a few games."
Without wasting any time, he took out the chessboard, set up the chariots and horses, and started to fight.
After playing the game, Zhang Yang realized that his father-in-law was not bad at chess, but he was still far from being able to compete with him. However, Zhang Yang could not possibly kill his future father-in-law so easily. That would be too extreme, and it would give others the impression that he was showing off his skills. It would not do him any good. Therefore, Zhang Yang could only think of a way to gain the upper hand. He had to be steady when he should be, defend when he should be, and attack when he should be. He could not be too aggressive or too conservative. This was much more difficult than just thinking about winning.
"Young man, your chess skills are not bad. To have such chess skills at such a young age, it seems that your talent is not bad.”
"Thank you for your praise, Uncle. I've been watching Grandfather and Great-Grandfather play chess since I was young, so I learned a little from them.”Zhang Yang replied.
"Yes, Chinese chess is a sport that mimics war. It contains a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. To win a competition, one often needed a sharp mind, a high degree of analytical ability, judgment, and prediction ability. Therefore, learning and studying Chinese chess is beneficial to the development of intelligence, the cultivation of business mind and the elderly's self-cultivation. For you to have such a standard, it seems that your abilities in all aspects are not bad.”
Zhang Yang smiled but did not say anything. He thought to himself,'If I reveal my true ability, I'm afraid you won't say that. I don't know if you'll praise me or say that I don't know how to respect the old and love the young.”
The two of them played a total of five games. Under Zhang Yang's deliberate arrangement, the two of them were evenly matched. In the end, Zhang Yang won two games and lost three games.
At 12 o'clock sharp, the mother and daughter pair finished cooking.
"Daddy, Zhang Yang, it's time to eat.”Baby shouted from outside the door.
"He's here." The baby's father replied, then turned to Zhang Yang and said,"Alright, that's all for today.”
Baby's father laughed as he spoke. It seemed like he was very satisfied with Zhang Yang. He felt that Zhang Yang had a good temperament. He knew how to advance and retreat, how to grasp the opportunity to attack, and how to weigh the pros and cons. He wondered if he could tell that Zhang Yang was going easy on him.
During the meal, the baby's mother was very friendly to Zhang Yang. She kept putting food into Zhang Yang's bowl. It was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. This made the baby and his little brother a little jealous.
After lunch, Zhang Yang had a friendly conversation with his mother-in-law.
"Yangyang, how long have you known the baby?”the mother-in-law asked.
Zhang Yang did not dare to say that he had only known each other for two days. He could accept the fact that they had become a couple so quickly. Most of the young people nowadays could accept it, but the elders would obviously not accept it.
"We've known each other for more than half a year. We've known each other since the last time I came back from America.”Zhang Yang lied without blushing, causing Baby to roll her eyes.
"Then why did you only start dating recently?”The mother-in-law continued to ask.
"When I was studying in America, we kept talking on the phone.。。。。”Zhang Yang did not finish his sentence, but it was about time for his mother-in-law to understand what he meant.
"I heard from the baby that you're going to Beijing to study in university? Is it true?"
"Yes, I'm going to study at the Beijing Film Academy.”
"What about the baby? If you go to Beijing, will she stay in Hong Kong?”The baby's mother couldn't help but worry about their future.
"If Uncle and Aunty are at ease, I want to take the baby to Beijing. Baby was a model and also someone in the entertainment industry. My future development direction is also towards the entertainment industry. I can write songs and sing. I'll learn how to make movies after I go to Beijing Film Academy. My family has a certain amount of money and connections. It won't be a problem for me to develop in the entertainment industry. She wondered if Uncle and Auntie would agree.”Zhang Yang said sincerely.
Baby's mother pondered for a moment and then said,"Baby has grown up. We don't want to keep her by our side. As long as she agrees, we won't stop her.”
"Thank you, Auntie." Zhang Yang was a little surprised. He did not expect his future mother-in-law to be so easy to talk to. Baby was even more surprised. In the past, his mother had been very strict with him.
"Mom, don't worry. No matter where I go, I'll come back often.”The baby's voice was trembling as if she was about to cry.
"Silly child, no matter where you go in the future, remember to tell me if you've been wronged. I'll help you think of a way.”The baby's mother also had tears in her eyes, making Zhang Yang reluctant to take the baby away. It was as if he had broken up the family.
Baby's mother turned to Zhang Yang and said,"You can't bully her in the future. If I find out that you bullied her, I'll get justice no matter how far you run.”
Zhang Yang did not dare to talk back at this moment. He could only say obediently,""Look at what you're saying. I love her so much that I can't wait to bully her. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen.”
"That's good. The baby has never gone out on her own since she was young. You have to take care of her outside and not let her suffer.”The baby's mother continued to remind him.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements in Beijing. I've bought a house outside and hired a few servants. We'll work hard together. I believe we'll achieve something in a few years.”Zhang Yang told his future mother-in-law slowly so that she would not worry.
Actually, as long as Zhang Yang revealed his background, his mother-in-law would not have to worry about anyone bullying her in her personal life or at work, except for Zhang Yang. However, Zhang Yang felt that it was not the right time yet. He was afraid that they would not be able to accept this all at once. They could only take it slow.
Zhang Yang chatted with his future parents-in-law until it was past 4 pm. After they tried to persuade him to stay, he left. Zhang Yang still had a lot of things to do, such as writing a novel, planning to go to Beijing to watch the Olympics, and instructing his subordinates to help him buy a house in Beijing. He had already said it in front of his future mother-in-law, so he naturally had to honor it. Although the Zhang family had a courtyard house and a few villas in Beijing, Zhang Yang felt that it was too far away from the school. Her and her baby's home had to be decorated warmly, and it had to be a new house. To be close to the Beijing Film Academy, there were many requirements.
He would first let the people below buy a house according to his own requirements. Then, he and his baby would decorate it personally. Only then would it feel like home.
