Elder Qian didn’t care about his loss. Instead, he was impressed by Qin Jianxi’s chess skills.
He looked at Qin Jianxi with a burning gaze.
“You’re really amazing. Miss Qin, are you interested in joining the Chinese
Chess Association?”
Qin Jianxi shook her head and replied, “No.”
She didn’t even try to justify her rejection. If it was anyone else, it would seem a little arrogant. However, when Qin Jianxi said this, they didn’t feel like she was being arrogant.
At this moment, Old Master Fu chuckled, “Old Qian, don’t think about it. Our
Xixi is busy. Don’t you know that she entered Qingbei?”
The old men present remembered that the person in front of them was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and she was even a national scholar. In the future, she might be a scientific research talent.
There was a little envy in their eyes for Old Fu. How did he find such a granddaughter-in-law?
At this moment, Old Master Fu was the proudest. He boasted, “Our Xixi has a
wide range of interests and hobbies, such as painting Chinese paintings and appraising antiques… Aiya, there are countless of them. It was hard to tell in a short period of time… That kid Fu Ge, according to what his mother said, he’s really lucky to be able to find someone like our Xixi…”
The ‘Diamond Prince Charming’ that every girl in the capital wanted to marry had been despised by his own grandfather. Everyone almost thought that Qin Jianxi was Old Master Fu’s biological granddaughter.
Qin Jianxi was speechless.
‘Please don’t praise me, keep a low profile! A low profile!’
After Old Fu pulled in a wave of hatred, he went fishing with a few old men.
He didn’t call Qin Jianxi to come with him because he wanted her to interact more with the young people present. His daughter-in-law had said that Xixi had too few friends. She had to get to know more young men and women of the same age so that she wouldn’t be obsessed with Fu Ge.
Unknowingly, Fu Ge was tricked by his biological mother again.
Since her grandfather had already said so, Qin Jianxi had no choice but to stay. Looking at the group of people from the wealthy circle, and some of them were familiar, she couldn’t help but feel a headache.
If she had known earlier, she would have turned him down.
Without the suppression of the elders, the young masters and young misses present did not have to pretend to be obedient.
The first to break the silence was Gong Yuke. This proud young lady who was known as the number one socialite and the number one beauty in the capital didn’t suppress her dislike for Qin Jianxi at all.
“Miss Qin, you’re really amazing. You can even beat Elder Qian. Didn’t Grandpa Fu praise you for being an all-rounder in many areas just now? How about a horse race?”
When Qin Jianxi heard this, she looked up at this person. Even though she hid it well, the confusion in her eyes was still visible.
She replied indifferently, “Not interested.”
Gong Yuke didn’t expect Qin Jianxi to reject her. She scoffed, “Are you afraid to, or… You don’t know how to ride a horse?”
Qin Jianxi didn’t care about this kind of stupid provocation at all.
Her expression was very calm as she replied, “I know a lot of things. Don’t tell me I have to compete just because of that. To be honest, I don’t really care about you.”
These words were too arrogant. Everyone present could not help but suck in a
breath. This person was too good at picking a fight. She simply did not give a sh*t about Gong Yuke at all!
Gong Yuke didn’t show any anger on her face. She just sneered, “It seems like
Fu Ge has given you a lot of confidence, Miss Qin.”
Qin Jianxi raised her eyebrows and asked, “Don’t you have confidence in yourself? Do you need someone else to give it to you? Did someone else give you the confidence to say that? I’m sorry, it’s my fault for being ignorant..”
