Jiangye Market is the capital of Jiangye Province. There are seven long rivers rushing through it, which converge and disperse in the rush, hence the name.

This city has a long history. It was once the imperial capital of successive dynasties and has a profound heritage.

If the Qiao family is new in the past few decades, then the Chi family in Jiangye Market is an old family with a long history.

Yanxia people attach great importance to inheritance, and this kind of family inheritance that has been passed down for hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted here.

At this time, at the foot of a mountain, on a wooden pavilion, there was a breeze and dew. Although it was not luxurious, it had a different kind of elegance.

Tick ​​tock!

On a piece of bamboo, water droplets fell on the rock below. The rock had long been polished and lost its edges.

At this time, the sound of falling was heard in the pavilion.

On the open-air balcony, there were three people, one of whom was Wang Yu, standing quietly beside him.

The person closest to her was a very elegant girl.

The girl's hair was simply tied up with a red rope, she was wearing a slightly thin Hanfu, and her small red lips were slightly pursed, giving her a beautiful curve.

The girl stared at the chessboard, kneeling on her knees, but her back was very straight. When the wind blew, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Except for a string of silver jewelry on her left wrist, there are no decorations on her body.

Her face was gentle and calm, and her brows furrowed because she was thinking were really pretty. She was none other than the eldest lady of the Chi family—Chi Enen.

The girl is picturesque, quiet and beautiful. When she is quiet, she is like a delicate flower shining on the water. When she moves, she is like a weak willow supporting the wind. She has a Western attitude, which is three points better than her appearance.

And the person who can play chess with her is naturally extraordinary.

Opposite her, an old man with white hair looked at the chessboard and said slowly: "You have been more active in chess since you were a child, but as you grow older, you become more and more regular."

Chi Enen gave a wry smile. Even her frown looked good, and her whole body was shining in the gentle sunshine.

"Master Luo, I lost again."

Master Luo's original name was Luo Jingkang, and he was a guest of the Chi family. He has lived since the last century and is over a hundred years old. However, his whole body is becoming more energetic and the wrinkles on his face are full of charm.

"In the past, even if you were quite decent, you could still hold on for a while longer in my hands. You seem to have something on your mind today."

Master Luo is a grandmaster, but no one knows his specific strength because he hasn't shown it for a long time.

Rumors have reached the level of a Grand Master, but it is not clear after all.

Chi Enen was a little more serious today. If she had been in the past, she would still have shown a girlish side: "Master Luo, compared to us young people, you have been in the Chi family for hundreds of years, and you should know Chi better than me.

Home."

"What do you think of our Chi family now?"

Master Luo took a deep look at her, then looked around, and said with emotion: "Before me, my father was a servant of the Chi family, and further up, my grandfather also worked in the Chi family."

"Today, I am still in the Chi family."

"But this dynasty has changed several times. The Chi family is still the Chi family, no matter how hard it is, it has not fallen.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

And when it comes to your generation, I have a hunch that it will be even more powerful."

Chi Enen smiled slightly: "The reason why our Chi family has been able to survive for hundreds of years is because we follow the rules."

"Master Luo, look at the stones in the yard. If they are very sharp, they can easily hurt people. I am afraid of hurting people, so I will move them away, and they will lose their value."

"And the reason why it is left is because it has been polished to a smooth and lustrous appearance."

"Master feels that my chess moves are getting more and more regular as I play them. That's because I know the importance of rules."

Chi Enen picked up the hair that fell from his ears with his hands: "Many people say that the second generation of rich upstarts have no quality, but for a family like ours that has been passed down for hundreds of years, if future generations don't have quality, they will be gone long ago.

.”

"Because we know the rules well, we respect the rules, we have our own rules, and we don't break other people's rules."

Master Luo smiled slightly: "Girl, are you talking about what happened back then?"

Chi Enen gently held a cup of tea: "Our Chi family's ancestral motto is to never interfere in official affairs and only engage in business. But back then, my second uncle's family had already broken the rules."

"He actually wanted to arrange a baby marriage between Chi Suisui and a member of the Qiao family."

"Furthermore, grandpa is also obsessed with it, and he even agreed to it. Only some people can see it clearly. This has violated the ancestral teachings."

"No matter how great the interests are, we cannot violate the teachings of our ancestors."

"We had no choice but to do what happened back then. Fortunately, my second uncle is much more stable now. Although my second aunt died and my aunt's family suffered a devastating blow, my second uncle is still alive and has a new wife and offspring."

Master Luo listened quietly without saying a word. He knew that a family that has been passed down for two to three hundred years must have its foundation of existence. Of course, it is also very complicated internally.

"Outsiders always say that I am jealous of Chi Suisui, but I was only eight years old at the time, and ten years later, I will only be eighteen years old. There is no need to be jealous."

"Although I know she is very good. She speaks early. She can recite poems to make her grandfather happy at the age of two, write at the age of three, and speak eloquently at the age of four."

"But after all, I am only eight years old and have just started elementary school. Who knows what jealousy is."

"It's just their family that broke the rules..."

"Girl, you are restless today. It seems that things have changed back then." Master Luo could naturally guess.

Chi Enen lowered his head: "Wang Yu saw Chi Suisui in Licheng City some time ago. I knew what happened back then was not simple. I'm afraid the second aunt had already prepared a way out."

"I just didn't expect that this hiding place would last for ten years."

Master Luo frowned: "Did you send someone over?

"I found a killer, not from the clan. After all, you know, because of what happened back then, our family also paid a heavy price."

"I didn't ask if it was Chi Suisui. I don't know how she is now, let alone how she is doing, whether she wants to come back, or whether she remembers what happened back then."

"It's just that I don't want her to appear here."

"Although the clan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

No one says it, but I know that many people still like Chi Suisui back then, and many sidelines are also on that side."

"You are still jealous." Master Luo smiled.

He has watched it for so many years, from a hundred years ago to a hundred years later, but he has never seen any struggle.

Wang Yu next to him glanced at his phone and his face changed: "Miss, it failed."

Chi Enen's pupils flashed, as if saying to himself: "'It's her."

"I probably know the killer. If he were to deal with an ordinary girl, he would be able to capture her easily. But with Chi Suisui...she has been smart since she was a child. I'm afraid the killer won't be able to succeed."

Chi Suisui stood up and bowed respectfully to Master Luo on the side: "Master, I'm busy now. I'll come back to play chess with you in a few days."

Some wind, some rain.

She opened the oil-paper umbrella and looked like a lilac-like girl.

Master Luo sighed, remembering the little girl he had hugged back then.

"Is it really going to be like this?"

"Master, this is a rule. What happened back then, if grandpa hadn't protected it, would have had a greater impact."

"No matter how great the interests are, they can't shake the family's ancestral precepts. That's fundamental." The girl's voice came from afar.

The sky is lightly raining, and there is a sunset in the distance. The girl looks beautiful, and the sky is clear at night.

…

"How many times have I told you, I'm not at home, don't open the door casually."

"What? Do you think no one will kill you?"

"Let me tell you, although we are poor, we still have dignity. How come no one kills me... Bah, bah, bah!"

"Chi Suisui, let me tell you again.

"This society is dangerous. If you make a 10% profit on a transaction, you can live a worry-free life."

"If you have a 20% profit, you can take risks."

"Having a profit of 30% would be a violation of discipline."

"If there is more than 40% profit, they will kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil." Qi Chen was furious on the other end of the phone.

"How can there be so many good people in this world? What kind of rules and disciplines are there? Bah!"

"The absolute good guy is the absolute bad guy."

"Look at whoever makes such grandiose claims, it's because they don't collect enough money."

"You have to remember that rules are meant to be broken, principles are meant to be trampled, and only benefits are eternal."

He cleared his throat because this incident really scared him.

He was afraid that the thing he least wanted to happen happened.

The Chi family has discovered Chi Suisui.

No one came to pick her up, but someone came to kill her.

He didn't know what was going on inside the Chi family, but no matter what, it was all related to interests.

He slowed down his tone and said softly: "Girl, I know about you, but I am already capable of protecting you."
