Chapter 547: Chaos and Desperation
Rain pattered outside the window, and the morning fog covered the lake with a veil.
“Madam, you’re really good at chess. I’m ashamed of my inferiority.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration.
Xia Wanyuan was not as gentle as she looked when she played chess. Instead, her aura was like a rainbow, overflowing with a bold and domineering aura.
It was as if she was really riding a magnificent army with the real murderous aura of the battlefield.
Jun Shiling’s deep gaze landed on Xia Wanyuan.
How did Xia Wanyuan have such a powerful killing intent?
Sensing Jun Shiling’s gaze, Xia Wanyuan looked up. “What’s wrong?”
“Madam, you have the talent to rule the world and the ability to arrange troops.” Jun Shiling smiled and seemed to sigh. “I’m so lucky.”
“Arrange troops?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a faint smile. “How can you tell?”
Jun Shiling smiled and stepped forward to pick her up. “I’m not telling you. Let’s go home.”
Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around his neck and did not probe further. An extremely intelligent person like Jun Shiling must have realized the problem long ago.
When they returned to the manor, Xiao Bao was sent back by Bo Xiao.
“”Mommy, Daddy!” Xiao Bao was wearing the panda suit Bo Xiao had bought for him. He was round like a panda cub.
“Good boy. Did you play well at Uncle Bo Xiao’s place?”
“Mm!” Xiao Bao nodded. Uncle Bo Xiao was super good. He bought him food, toys, and even played with him.
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Bao said earnestly, “Mommy, I’ve already created a two-person world for you and Daddy. You must work hard and give birth to a sister for me as soon as possible!”
Xia Wanyuan paused. Even without looking up, she could feel Jun Shiling’s burning gaze.
“Mommy brought you something delicious.” Xia Wanyuan hurriedly changed the topic and successfully attracted Xiao Bao’s attention.
Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao into the house. He skipped around telling Xia Wanyuan about the books and toys he had read for the past two days, completely forgetting about his sister.
Behind him, Jun Shiling’s gaze was long. Sister? It seemed like it was time to bring this up.
He had not been back for two days, and two major things had already happened in Beijing.
The first was that the Wei family in Beijing officially announced that Old Madam Wei, the head of the Wei family, was about to retire at the end of the year and hand the Wei family over to the next generation.
The Wei family did not reveal the next generation’s candidate.
The Wei family was a large family that had lasted for hundreds of years. Their foundation was originally in the south. After Old Madam Wei’s husband, Wei Fengxian, passed away,
Old Madam Wei did not want to stir up emotions in the old residence in the south and moved her family to Beijing.
Although there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Beijing, everyone had to be respectful when they saw the Wei family.
Due to the powerful backing of the Wei family, everyone was very concerned about the next head of the Wei family.
In an instant, the capital city was in turmoil. Countless bright and dark lines began to move. Even Wei Yu, Wei Yang, and the other children were roped in by all parties.
The second matter was that the World Go Competition, which was the focus of attention every year, had ended. The Chinese team had left with expectations and returned with disappointment.
Some extreme fans smashed rotten eggs at the Chinese team at the airport and even tried to lift the flower pot beside them to smash people, causing chaos.
Especially Li Yi’s ungentlemanly behavior after the competition made everyone feel ashamed of him. Among the group of people who had returned to China, Li Yi was the one who had been scolded the most.
The group of people from the Go Association were scolded all the way back to their residence. Everyone’s hearts were heavy.
The coach looked at everyone’s dispirited faces and felt anxious.
“Pull yourselves together. It’s fine if you fail this time. In your current state, what should we do for the following Master Competition?!”
“Coach, forget it. We can’t even win this competition. Master competition? How can we win? I don’t think we can even enter the top ten.”
Before they went to participate in the competition, they were still filled with confidence. After the failure of the competition, the countrymen cursed at them and they lost their fighting spirit. All of them were like frosted eggplants, dispirited.
“Sigh!” The coach sighed deeply. It was no wonder that these team members were dispirited. After all, even he felt that there was no hope for the master competition.
Li Yi looked at the dejected team members and coaches from afar and punched the wall hard. His hands were bloodshot.
“Why am I so useless!!”
Lawrence’s words about the Asian weakling still rang in his ears, and his heart was filled with endless hatred.
He wanted to defeat everyone and make the red flag fly in front of the world’s people, making this technique that originated from China shine in front of the world.
However, their team had let everyone down.
Li Yi was filled with anger and bitterness. He was about to push open the door and run ten kilometers when his phone rang. It was a call from his grandfather.
“Hello, Grandpa.” Li Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to look calm. He didn’t want his grandpa to worry.
“My good grandson, you’re back?” Grandpa was still as benevolent as ever, without any difference even if his grandson did not win the championship. “You’ve worked hard. Come back for a meal this weekend. Your grandmother and I miss you very much.”
“Okay, Grandpa.” Li Yi’s eyes turned red when he heard his family’s voice.
After hanging up the phone, the coach walked over. Li Yi suppressed the sourness in his nose.
“Li Yi, you’ve seen the situation now. Train hard. We’re preparing to let you participate in the Master Competition. Calm down.”
“Coach, I…” Li Yi wanted to say something, but the coach stopped him with a wave of his hand.
“You’re our only hope now. No matter the outcome, we have to participate.. We can’t just give up, right?”
