Chapter 664 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (2)
"Come, come, Zhouzhou, sit down quickly."
Grandpa Shang pulled Mu Zhou back to reality.
She readily agreed and sat down beside them.
Grandpa Shang was so engrossed in this game of chess that he didn't even have time to introduce the two people.
Only after a game of chess, in which Grandpa Shang narrowly won, did he put down the chess pieces and say with a smile:
"Lu Lin's chess skills have improved a lot, and he is losing more and more calmly."
Grandpa Shang could naturally tell that Lu Lin was deliberately losing to him to make him happy.
What's remarkable is that he was still able to have a great time.
Seeing Mu Zhou sitting obediently beside him, he finally remembered that they didn't know each other yet, and said:
“Zhouzhou, this is Lu Lin. You can call him Uncle just like He Nian did.”
The two are nine years apart in age, but they are indeed of different generations.
Grandpa Shang and Lu Lin's father were also old comrades-in-arms and old neighbors.
Lu Lin was practically a child that Grandpa Shang had watched grow up.
Later, he joined the army and stayed on the border for ten years before recently returning.
Grandpa Shang then introduced Mu Zhou:
"This is Mu Zhou, whom I raised with my own hands. She's no different from my own granddaughter."
This introduction was clearly intended to elevate Mu Zhou's status.
Mu Zhou smiled cautiously at Lu Lin and called out softly:
"Little uncle."
"Yes, I didn't prepare a gift for our first meeting, but I'll make it up to you next time."
He appeared mild-mannered and polite.
Mu Zhou naturally declined, saying he didn't need it.
When it was time for Grandpa Shang to have his blood pressure checked and take his medication, he stood up, gestured for Mu Zhou to sit down, and then smiled at Lu Lin, saying:
"She's just like you, deliberately losing to let me win. You two should have a serious game."
Mu Zhou lived here before university, and his chess skills were personally taught by Grandpa Shang.
However, the student surpasses the teacher; Mu Zhou has a high level of comprehension, and Grandpa Shang will soon be unable to beat her.
Then her chess skills improved more and more, and in order to please Grandpa Shang, she started to lose inconspicuously.
Grandpa Shang saw it all.
After he finished speaking, he left with the family doctor.
Mu Zhou sat down in front of the chessboard and cautiously asked:
"Uncle, shall we continue?"
Lu Lin glanced at her and said calmly:
"it is good."
Mu Zhou pursed his lips, revealing obvious dimples on both sides of his cheeks.
He looked rather happy.
She picked up a few white pieces.
After a few steps, Lu Lin narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.
Mu Zhou didn't look at him, but instead focused intently on the chessboard.
The little girl looked timid and shy, even her voice was so soft. I thought she would be hesitant, conservative and cautious when playing chess.
But once she made her move, Lu Lin realized that she was extremely reckless and her attacks were wide-ranging and aggressive.
But not recklessly.
Lu Lin became serious.
The game ended nearly an hour later.
Lu Lin narrowly won.
This time it was for real; he gave it his all.
Playing chess with her is very enjoyable.
Grandpa Shang was also enjoying the show and clapped his hands repeatedly.
He looked at Mu Zhou, becoming more and more satisfied.
Then I thought of Shang Henian, and my head started to ache terribly.
How could this kid be so blind?
Grandpa Shang felt sorry for Mu Zhou's childhood experiences and also felt guilty for not helping his old comrade-in-arms earlier, which led to Mu Zhou's death from anger.
Therefore, she treated Mu Zhou exceptionally well.
It was precisely because they saw her feelings for Shang Henian that they kept creating opportunities for the two children.
But who knew that Shang Henian had a terrible temper, and the more they tried to bring them together, the more rebellious he became.
Seeing that it seemed there was really no way to make it happen, Grandpa Shang stopped insisting.
Forget it, he'll leave Mu Zhou some extra money later, which will ensure her livelihood.
It was also to introduce Mu Zhou to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin was transferred back from the border and is now serving in an important department, which means he has a bright future ahead of him.
Lu Lin was someone he had watched grow up. He came from a good family, had personal abilities, and was remarkably steady in his actions.
Let Mu Zhou get acquainted with him, and with more elders protecting Mu Zhou, he can leave with peace of mind when the time comes.
While Grandpa Shang was thinking about finding more elders for Mu Zhou, Mu Zhou was thinking about how to win them over.
She had already heard the notification about the favorability rating.
Lu Lin's favorability towards her increased from 0 to 5%.
A good start.
Lu Lin was the person she wanted to win over.
Seeing that Grandpa Shang and Lu Lin probably still had things to talk about, she tactfully got up.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to my room to rest for a bit."
Grandpa remembered something and quickly reminded him:
"There's some freshly made 'Tisu' in the kitchen, the kind of little cake that young girls like to eat, remember to try it."
Mu Zhou smiled and nodded, "Okay, Grandpa." She glanced at Lu Lin again, "I'm leaving now, Uncle."
Lu Lin nodded in acknowledgment.

Mu Zhou had just lain down when the door was smashed open.
Although he couldn't hear the voices outside, Mu Zhou could guess who it was from the way they knocked.
She looked at the time.
It was much later than she had expected.
But what Mu Zhou didn't know was that after Shang Henian untied the ropes, it was really inconvenient for him to leave...
He could only keep a cold face and stay in the hotel for a while longer.
Upon returning, he learned that Mu Zhou was fast asleep in his room, which made him even angrier. He didn't care about anything else and went straight to him.
Mu Zhou was too lazy to get out of bed, so she picked up her phone and called Shang Henian.
The man outside the door gritted his teeth and answered the call after seeing the two words light up on the screen, only to hear Mu Zhou's groggy voice coming through:
"I'm sleepy. Let's talk after I wake up. We'll meet at the stone table next to the big tree in the small garden at five o'clock."
Before Shang Henian could speak, she hung up the phone.
Shang Henian continued banging on the door regardless of the consequences, and then he received a photo from her.
Upon realizing that the person in the photo was indeed him in the hotel, Shang Henian abruptly turned off his phone, his chest heaving violently.
He stared intently at the door.
We’ll see!

Mu Zhou took a nice nap and then strolled to the small garden.
She sat at the stone table, watching the fish in the stream not far away.
Next to it was a large tree, as thick as three people.
Her gaze casually swept behind the big tree, then subtly shifted away.
Looking up again, I saw Shang Henian walking aggressively towards me from a distance.
"Well done, Mu Zhou! I think you're tired of living! How dare you..."
Mu Zhou's face still held that timid and sullen expression. She bit her lip and hesitated before speaking:
"Brother Henian, didn't you say you would forgive me? You were lying to me all along."
"you……"
At this moment, Shang Henian couldn't hit her, nor could he curse at her...
He was even afraid of scolding her too much.
He never knew that Mu Zhou could be so crazy.
Does she love him that much?
Shang Henian had been consumed by anger since leaving the hotel, but seeing Mu Zhou's face again finally calmed him down.
"Delete the photos, and I'll pretend nothing happened."
Mu Zhou didn't believe it.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at him with innocent eyes:
"But I feel like Brother Henian is lying to me."
Shang Henian was so angry he almost laughed.
He couldn't help but sneer:
"You really want to keep my explicit photos? What for, to secretly take them out and sleep with them at night?"
Mu Zhou's face showed no emotion; he simply tilted his head slightly, as if deep in thought.
Her appearance made Shang Henian feel breathless.
His heart was pounding, and he warned:
"Don't even think about it, it's disgusting!"
