Xie Xiaodan is a rich daughter, his father is the chairperson of a group company in the south, from a wealthy family, parents love, and live a carefree life.

Seeing that Xie Xiaodan had reached the age of marriage, her parents began to worry about her marital problems. Xie Xiaodan had to confess that she had a boyfriend, but her boyfriend came from an ordinary background and was afraid of her parents' opposition, so she temporarily hid it. After hearing this, her parents didn't say anything, but suggested that their daughter bring her boyfriend to the house to sit and let them contact her in person. Xie Xiaodan agreed.

A few days later, Xie Xiaodan went home with her boyfriend. When his mother saw that the young man looked dignified and polite, she liked him very much, but his father did not show the joy he deserved. Xie Xiaodan asked him what was going on, and his father sighed and said, "People are always good at disguising."

Xie Xiaodan said anxiously, "You mean, his performance today is all fake?"

The father said noncommittally, "He said that he usually likes to play chess online, and I happen to have this hobby too. Well, help me pay attention to the account number and screen name he uses to play chess, and then, when he plays chess online one day, you can secretly tell me, so I can find him and play against him."

Xie Xiaodan asked curiously, "What does this mean? His chess skills are higher than yours, so you agree with us to be together?"

The father shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard that chess is like character? Playing chess with him as an ordinary Internet user is the best opportunity to understand his true character. What happens when he wins? What happens when he loses? What effect does the opponent's actions and state have on him? All of this is something you don't usually see. This may be a good way to see his true face."

Xie Xiaodan was a little uneasy and said, "What if his chess is not good? Do you not agree with us being together?"

The father nodded and said, "Yes, since the inspection has failed, it will naturally be eliminated."

Hearing her father's answer, Xie Xiaodan's heart turned cold. But she knew that her father always agreed, so she did not object anymore. Instead, she helped her father get her boyfriend's account number and screen name while he was playing chess.

One night a few days later, my father received a message from Xie Xiaodan saying that her boyfriend was playing chess online. My father quickly put down his work and quickly turned on the computer to look for the future son-in-law. Soon, the two really met on a narrow road.

Although the boy was young, his chess skills were no less than Xie Xiaodan's father's. The two of them had a very tight grip on the chess game from the beginning, and each other might be "checkmate" by the other party. As the saying goes, if one move is careless, all the games will be lost.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Just when his father thought that the boy would definitely not be able to suppress his desire to win, and therefore rejected his request for repentance, his "car" suddenly returned to its original position. Yes, the boy agreed, and at the moment when he could win, the boy agreed to the opponent's request for repentance.

In this way, his father's "car" was saved. After that, his father relied on the "car" that survived by chance to shoot from left to right and rampage, and actually turned defeat into victory and won the boy. The boy didn't say anything, he just sent a picture of himself "clasping his fists" to his father to express his admiration.

In the first game, the father was very satisfied with the boy's performance. In the second game, the father repeated his old trick and asked for "repentance" at the moment of life and death in the chess game, but the boy let him go again, only to be defeated by the father. After winning, the father proudly left him a message: "Your chess skills are not good." The boy calmly replied, "Jiang is still old and spicy!"

The father was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and didn't play the third game with the boy, so he hurriedly went offline.

The next day, my father called Xie Xiaodan and said that the game with her boyfriend last night made him feel very happy, and if it was convenient, he might as well bring his boyfriend to the house as a guest. Xie Xiaodan was overjoyed when he heard it, so he discussed it with his boyfriend that day and decided to have dinner with his parents on the weekend.

The second time we met, the boy felt at home. Not to mention Xie Xiaodan's mother's attentiveness, his father's enthusiasm also increased a lot. At the dinner table, the father broke the story of playing chess with the boy that night, and gave a high degree of affirmation and heartfelt praise for the boy's gentlemanly demeanor. The mother was also very happy for the boy, and kept her mouth open from ear to ear. However, to everyone's surprise, the boy suddenly said embarrassedly, "Uncle, I know that you played chess with me that night. Because Xiaodan has reminded me in advance..."

The boy's words were suddenly interrupted, because Xie Xiaodan was kicking him desperately under the table and gesturing with his eyes to remind him to shut up quickly. But the boy just smiled at her, still smiling, and said, "I also know that Xiaodan is for my own good, but I feel uncomfortable when I pretend to hold it like this, and I feel even more embarrassed when you praise it again."

Hearing the boy's words, the smile on his father's face disappeared. He raised his glass, took a sip, and said with emotion, "So that's the case. If you don't say it, I'm still in the dark."

After dinner, Xie Xiaodan sent her boyfriend home, and along the way, she kept scolding her boyfriend, saying that he couldn't speak and be a man, and ruined the great situation with her own hands. On the other side, the mother also made fun of the father, saying that the father was self-affectionate and wanted to test the boy's character through chess, but he was "betrayed" by his own daughter.

However, his father smiled disapprovingly and said, "When the chess game ended that night and he accidentally said'Jiang is still old and spicy ', I was already sure that Xiaodan was angry with him. Think about it, I played chess with him as an ordinary Internet user, how did he know that I was older than him? However, I don't mind, because what I really want to test is not his performance when he played chess with me, but my reaction when I praised him today. What makes me relieved is that he didn't get carried away by my praise, but took the initiative to confess what happened. Although I couldn't see his real chess piece from the chessboard, I saw his sincerity in his confession. This son-in-law, I'm sure!"
