[1] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 20: If This Woman Isn't Disciplined, She Really Will Soar to the Skies

Jennie completely did not know what Lisa was planning when he directly brought her in.

The owner of the chess hall was clearly familiar with him. When he heard that Lisa had come to visit, he even came out to welcome him.

The owner's surname was Xu. He was around seventy-to-eighty-years-old. Both his hair and beard were white, and the way he spoke had an old charm.

Standing in this chess hall, Jennie wondered if she had accidentally gone to the past. It had an ancient charm, and it could be seen that every item here was specially crafted. Nothing here was cheap.

Indeed, to be located in the most bustling city within the country, it held a lot of secret treasures.

Originally, Jennie had planned to explain their intentions to Owner Xu. In the end, she was invited to the waiting room to drink tea while Lisa went alone to speak to Owner Xu.

Even if they were close, or this Owner Xu was an elder that Lisa was very familiar with, she felt that he would not let go easily of something he treasured so much.

Even if Lisa were to offer a higher price, it would most likely be challenging to obtain the chess record.

So, what exactly did they go inside to do?

They were so secretive...

While drinking tea, Jennie dipped her fingers in some of the spilled out tea, drawing on the table surface to waste time.

"Mrs. Manoban, there's a Miss Kim outside who said that she came with you and CEO Manoban. We were unable to confirm her identity, so we didn't let her in. She said she is your sister." From the door came an attendant who politely asked, "Should I let her in?"

Jennie never thought that this chess hall was a place that people could not easily enter.

Mina was actually blocked at the door...

Then why not let her continue waiting outside.

"I don't know her," she responded while she drank another sip of tea as if it had nothing to do with her.

The attendant formally and politely nodded her head, leaving.

The room resumed its silence.

In such an environment, Jennie did not dare to be too rushed. It was better not to let Mina in, in case she dirtied another person's place.

Outside the chess hall, after receiving the answer, Mina angrily tried to explain but was not given entrance.

After a few minutes, Mina called.

It was obviously to interrogate Jennie.

Jennie switched her phone to silent mode, throwing it aside and ignoring it.

Mina made up to four to five calls before finally giving up. The phone screen silently turned dark.

After around two hours, Jennie got up to use the washroom. As she exited, she suddenly noticed that the room door was open and rushed forward to peek in.

Lisa's silhouette appeared at the same time as Owner Xu's. Jennie relaxed after seeing that he looked the same as before.

After waiting for so long, she was not sure what exactly happened.

Earlier on, she nearly suspected that Lisa had gone to sell his own body to help her acquire the chess book. She even suspected if Owner Xu had some bad hobbies...

Cough, she had really overthought things.

Jennie secretly smiled, walking over. She saw that Owner Xu's mood was rather good as he chatted and laughed with Lisa.
