Chapter 758: 738
However, no matter how you understand it, having a good mindset is always beneficial.
Luo Qianqian and Jimo Cheng both smiled and silently watched Old Master Jimo boast.
"Oh, Jin Yue, your eldest senior brother will be back soon." Old Master Jimo started one topic but abruptly switched to another.
Luo Qianqian looked at Old Master Jimo in confusion, so what?
Old Master Jimo chuckled, "You must not go easy on him. Your eldest senior brother has collected many good things over the years. You should plunder a bit more—it would also be good for giving gifts. Your brother has plenty, and it would be great for your future sister-in-law."
Having heard this, Luo Qianqian became more spirited. Not to mention anyone else, but the future wife of Luo Shufan must be set up from head to toe, as she is the close sister-in-law. And there is Qin Nuan, although she is a cousin by marriage, their relationship is strong. Speaking of which, Cong Rong should also be included, and He Wenyu must not be forgotten, along with two younger female cousins...
Watching Luo Qianqian seriously counting on her fingers, Jimo Cheng was speechless, "The eldest senior brother will hate you."
"Hmph, he only has this one junior sister. Why wouldn’t he take good care of her?" Old Master Jimo said seriously, "If it wasn’t for the age difference, Jin Yue would actually match him.... Forget I said that."
Watching his grandson’s eyes widening, Old Master Jimo was speechless. How soon it was? His grandson had a wife and forgot his grandpa. Yet, he didn’t feel bitter at all; in fact, he was quite happy, as his own silly pig finally learned how to choose the cabbages.
Jimo Cheng looked at Luo Qianqian’s face scrunched up and couldn’t help but sigh. He tugged at her sleeve, "Don’t worry, when you go to find the eldest senior brother, he won’t reject you. He won’t skimp on the meeting gift either, just be at ease."
Luo Qianqian, having been told this, felt even more embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red, and she turned and glared at Old Master Jimo, "Grandpa Kong, are you setting him up like this without him knowing?"
"How would he know?" Old Master Jimo remained calm, "In front of him, I am the most respectable elder, okay?"
Jimo Cheng had a doubtful look. Really? Why didn’t he know about this?
But in front of Luo Qianqian, it was better not to expose this.
He stood silently to the side, not speaking, but his presence said it all.
Luo Qianqian pursed her lips and laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, I also respect you the most, old man."
"Old man?" Old Master Jimo was no longer pleased upon hearing this, "You are the old one! I’m still young!"
In front of us? Luo Qianqian smirked but said nothing.
Jimo Cheng calmly asked, "So, Grandpa young friend, is it time to leave?"
Old Master Jimo glanced at the time, and hurried forward, "Let’s go, let’s not be late," as he moved toward the door.
Luo Qianqian was speechless. So, Grandpa young friend, are you a grandpa or a young friend? More importantly, Old Master Jimo showed no intention of arguing...
Helplessly, Jimo Cheng shook his head, looking at the box on the table, "Grandpa, put the things back in their place!!!"
Luo Qianqian quickly nodded, exactly, she couldn’t afford to pay for it if she damaged such items. She must be extra careful, just in case...
Old Master Jimo turned back, looking at the wooden box, then respectfully picked it up with both hands, and left the room.
"What era are the antiques from inside? You have to be so careful..." Luo Qianqian had seen Jimo Kong handle many things before, but she had never seen him treat an item with such reverence.
"Oh, it’s a treasure from a very, very, very, very long time ago," Jimo Cheng smiled.
Stories that start with ’a very, very long time ago’ are typically for children, so by adding so many ’very longs,’ is he talking about something truly ancient, or just tricking her?
Luo Qianqian didn’t know, but for now, she didn’t need to think about those things; she would find out eventually, sooner or later. What she shouldn’t know, knowing might not make her happy.
"Let’s go," Old Master Jimo said as he came back and waved his hand, "Let’s go mock those old fools."
Jimo Cheng wore a helpless expression, "Grandpa just has this hobby, you get used to it." A hobby of mocking other people his age...
Luo Qianqian nodded, anyway, she was too young to be within the range of mockery.
Just as they arrived and hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet, a laugh came from outside, "Oh, isn’t this our great young Master Kong? Coming again tonight?"
Jimo Kong opened the car door with a look of disdain, "What, so only you old degenerate can come, and I can’t?"
Brimming with a triumphant smile, this described Jimo Kong exactly.
The old man wore a speechless expression, "But tonight you probably won’t have that luck, remember I want Pre-Qingming Longjing tea." He didn’t really argue with Jimo Kong.
Luo Qianqian got out of the car following Jimo Cheng, with a puzzled face.
Bending down, Jimo Cheng whispered, "Grandpa and the others have their stakes too. The one with the worst luck has to give everyone else two taels of high-grade tea leaves, and the one with the best luck gets to collect two taels from each person."
Luo Qianqian nodded in realization, she just knew it; without stakes, there was no fun in what Jimo Kong was playing.
"Yo, great young Master Kong, did you bring a golden boy and jade girl today to boost your luck? If it really works, I might try it too," another old man came down from his car and greeted Jimo Kong.
Jimo Kong looked speechless, "Hey, when I’m not here, aren’t you the one who always ends up last?"
Luo Qianqian and Jimo Cheng quietly followed behind Jimo Kong, not saying a word but smiling. Thankfully, not only were there grandchildren, but there were also attractive granddaughters-in-law around, and as Luo Qianqian noticed one sexy figure after another, the corner of her mouth twitched.
"This is... erm, just the waitstaff here, they won’t take away anything; they’re just for company," Jimo Cheng noticed Luo Qianqian’s gaze and felt a bit embarrassed. Normally, he wouldn’t have felt anything, but with Luo Qianqian by his side, it was quite awkward.
Luo Qianqian nodded, her face full of speechlessness. So, was this place profitable by this means? "Is there an entry fee per head here?"
Jimo Cheng shook his head, "There’s no entry fee, everyone who shows up here is a member."
"The annual membership fee must be quite expensive, right?" Luo Qianqian was even more speechless. So, it was a membership system now? But perhaps the only advantage was that it wasn’t afraid of being reported, right?
"It’s okay..." Jimo Cheng wasn’t a member, how would he know? "But this really is a legitimate place, just looks a bit illegitimate on the surface, but it can’t be more than that..." Jimo Cheng felt his words were pale, completely unsure how to explain, and his face became flushed.
Luo Qianqian, however, curved her lips, not feeling much about it and patted Jimo Cheng’s arm calmly, "Come on, senior brother, just bear with me and walk with me. No pretty sisters to accompany you today."
Jimo Cheng’s face showed a bittersweet expression, but as Luo Qianqian lightly held his arm, he still managed a smile.
