179: Chapter 179 Having seen Teacher Su's beauty, the Cui sisters seem nothing in comparison.
"Since both of them have chosen you, naturally the next step is to hope you kill Yun Zhuo, stand out from the Thirteen Protectors, and eventually become our master."
"Ma, Master?"
Du Mingxing looked at Piao Xiuying's affectionate expression, his mouth corners curling upward uncontrollably; no matter how he tried to suppress it, he couldn't, and even his voice trembled when he spoke.
"Yes, if you can win the final victory, Young Master Chen will gift us to you, and then you will be the master of the three of us."
Piao Xiuying gripped Du Mingxing's hand tightly, gazing at him with deep affection.
The scent unique to a mature woman emanating from her made Du Mingxing feel a bit dizzy, as if he were soaking in a vat of '82 Erguotou liquor.
His whole being felt dizzy.
"Then... Auntie Pu, what do you want to do?"
"It's not about what we want to do, but what you must do to break through the encirclement of the Thirteen Protectors."
They chatted for a long time, and by the time Piao Xiuying and her two daughters returned to Chen Qi's villa, it was already afternoon, and the sun was slanting to the west.
Chen Qi sat on the villa's sofa; the holographic screen in front of him wasn't displaying provocative beauties, but rather real-time social news.
Hearing Piao Xiuying and the others return, he looked up and smiled slightly at her, "How did your talk with Du Mingxing go?"
"Young Master Chen, how did you know we went to find him?"
"Compared to fools who act on impulse, the thoughts of smart people are much easier to guess."
Piao Xiuying smiled slightly; indeed, nothing could be hidden from this guy.
Thinking this, she led her two daughters to sit beside Chen Qi.
She said softly, "Young Master Chen, can you give me some advice? I want to hear your opinion."
"There's no need. The fact that you went to find him at this time, rather than waiting until there was a result, honestly makes me very gratified. It shows that I didn't misjudge you back then."
"Young Master Chen, do you really have nothing else to instruct?"
Chen Qi shook his head, his mouth corners curling slightly, "No, you did well, and I believe you will do even better."
Piao Xiuying felt inexplicably touched. Having lived to fifty, this was the first time she had been trusted like this.
But she quickly warned herself not to be too moved, because this was just one of Chen Qi's methods for managing people.
"Young Master Chen, then I will go take a shower. I was out in the sun for too long and am covered in sweat."
"You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters. In the future, you can make your own decisions; only come to me if you can't make up your mind."
Piao Xiuying nodded, then deliberately left her two daughters behind, "You two stay here and keep Young Master Chen company. Mom is going to take a shower."
She had already given instructions to her two daughters on the way back.
Now it depended on the abilities of these two girls.
Before this, she had considered stepping in herself, but after learning from Du Mingxing that the women Chen Qi liked were twins, she decisively changed her mind.
In her view, Cui Shuxian and Cui Shuyan, being twins, were more likely to move Chen Qi.
After all, wasn't that the reason Chen Qi chose her two daughters at the youth tournament back then?
However, when she returned from her shower, she found her two daughters still sitting there awkwardly.
Chen Qi was no longer watching the news; he had started playing Go online with someone.
The two daughters were watching from his left and right, but their minds were neither on the chessboard nor on Chen Qi.
Their eyes were darting around, as if looking for an excuse to leave.
Sitting beside Chen Qi seemed to be like sitting on pins and needles for them.
Piao Xiuying was furious. Did these two girls still think they were the Young Misses of the Cui family from before?
I have said it so many times: we are now Young Master Chen's slaves, tools, and pawns.
Whether we can survive and whether we can live well all depend on his whim.
If you don't take the initiative to seduce him and just wait for him to fawn over you like the sycophants you used to have, how is that possible?
It seems all my painstaking advice to you today was in vain.
It seems they cannot be relied upon; I have to do it myself.
She sat down opposite Chen Qi very naturally and glared fiercely at her two daughters.
Sisters Cui Shuxian and Cui Shuyan felt aggrieved in their hearts.
It wasn't that they weren't trying; it was that Chen Qi simply didn't have any interest in them.
They had used all the methods Piao Xiuying had taught them on Chen Qi; although slightly clumsy, they asked themselves and knew they had put in the effort.
But the harder they tried to flirt with Chen Qi, the more Chen Qi despised them.
There was no help for it; every time Chen Qi saw the two sisters, he would subconsciously compare them with Teacher Su, and the more he compared, the more he felt they were nothing.
They weren't even worthy of licking Teacher Su's shoes.
If it weren't for the shrewd Piao Xiushan, he would have felt that this deal with Jianmu City had caused him to lose everything.
"So, Young Master Chen also likes playing chess?"
Before Piao Xiuying finished speaking, a fragrant breeze arrived, washing over Chen Qi, carrying the warm, moist air and the elegant scent of shower gel.
Chen Qi, who had been resting his chin on his hand while pondering the board, looked up at her, "Do you also want to say that this Go game was invented by your Jianmu City?"
"Young Master Chen is joking. I am not one of those shameless idiots who, because of their own inner inferiority, claim everything belongs to their own home to satisfy their ridiculous self-esteem."
Chen Qi smiled slightly, "Do you know how to play?"
"A little."
As she spoke, Piao Xiuying stood up, pushed her daughters aside, and sat down beside Chen Qi.
It looked like she was watching the board on the holographic screen, but in reality, she was taking the opportunity to lean against him intentionally.
"Young Master Chen, the opponent has already lost this game."
"Then you play."
Piao Xiuying didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to place stones.
After a few moves, Chen Qi couldn't help but nod repeatedly; this woman indeed knew how to play Go, and her skills were quite good.
At the same time, she was very capable of pleasing him; while playing, she was also able to offer him benefits.
Her black bathrobe was worn loosely, and with the movement of placing stones, she would intentionally or unintentionally rub against Chen Qi.
Now, whenever he lowered his head slightly, he could see Piao Xiuying's ample assets.
She truly lived up to being a mother of two; she really had the goods.
In contrast, Piao Xiuying's gaze was extremely focused, as if all her attention were on the chessboard.
"Hiss~ Young Master Chen~" Piao Xiuying suddenly winced in pain, turning back to look at Chen Qi with a shy expression; her tone was half coquettish, half reproachful, and perfectly judged.
"You just play your game, and remember, you can't lose."
"What happens if I lose?"
"Have you heard of the saying 'When the lord is humiliated, the subject dies'? You are representing me in this match right now; if you lose, that means I lose, understand?"
'When the lord is humiliated, the subject dies'! Piao Xiuying didn't think Chen Qi was joking, so she hurriedly mustered her full attention and played seriously.
Chen Qi, however, wasn't idle; he continued to measure her size, as if evaluating how large a bowl Piao Xiuying could fill.
Before long, Piao Xiuying, who had just showered, was covered in a fine layer of sweat again; if things continued like this, she would definitely lose the game.
The next moment, she saw her hands grip the table under the chessboard tightly, her eyes staring fixedly at the board, her gaze flickering constantly.
Then she placed stones rapidly; after just nine moves, she placed one stone that successfully brought her dead group back to life, and at this moment, her territory suddenly exceeded the opponent's by twenty points.
The outcome was decided; there was no need to continue playing.
Sure enough, the next moment, the opponent resigned.
Piao Xiuying finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at Chen Qi...
