37: Chapter 37: Nonsense to You 37: Chapter 37: Nonsense to You Grandpa Chu spoke with a somewhat desolate tone, while a slight glint flashed within Chu Yihan’s dark eyes.
After swallowing twice, he finally dropped a single indifferent word, “Busy.”
At once, Grandpa Chu let out a sigh.
“Grandfather knows that you’ve always been the busiest.”
Of all his grandsons, only Xiao Si had shown promise.
He never seemed to regard this place as his home.
Since the time he moved out, he rarely came back.
“Chairman Chu’s subordinate is the leading First Financial Group in the world.
It’s only natural for him to be busy…” A loud voice suddenly interrupted as Chu Qinghong, the third son of the Chu Family, walked in, striding straight towards Grandpa Chu with a frivolous smile on his face, “Our family business, which has been built over hundreds of years, is nothing compared to the world’s number one financial group.
Why would the Chairman concern himself with Chu Family matters?
Grandpa, am I right?”
Grandpa Chu was so enraged that he picked up his teacup, intending to throw it at Chu Qinghong, “You rotten kid, why can’t you ever learn to behave?
It’s rare for you and Xiao Si to get together, why do you say such things?”
“Grandpa, there you go being biased.
Did I say anything wrong?
I’m speaking the truth; why can’t you bear to hear it?” Chu Qinghong showed no intention of holding back, casting a sarcastic look at Chu Yihan, “Having the Chairman visit our Chu Family is truly an honor.
I presume even in your busy schedule, you took the time to come here?
Are you here to celebrate, or perhaps to pay a visit, bringing only a few lousy medicinal herbs?
That hardly matches your status as Chairman.”
Su Ge’s face suddenly changed.
A few lousy medicinal herbs?
It was true that Chu Qinghong never spoke a good word.
She once came to wish Grandpa Chu a happy birthday without a gift and was publicly mocked by him.
Now, even with a thoughtful present, he still looked down upon it.
In fact, it didn’t matter what she brought; he would always find an opportunity to mock Chu Yihan, right?
After all, with Grandpa Chu’s status, what good things hadn’t he seen?
The more expensive the gift, the more vulgar it appeared.
How could Chu Qinghong not understand this?
Grandpa Chu was so angry he couldn’t even speak.
Chu Qinghong obviously came to provoke Chu Yihan, who remained calm throughout, slightly shifting his gaze, “It seems, you’ve prepared a grand gift for Grandpa?”
With just a light remark, Chu Qinghong’s face went slightly stiff, his expression betraying a touch of awkwardness.
Su Ge watched Chu Qinghong with great interest.
If what she brought was lousy medicinal herbs, what precious gift had he brought?
After his expression froze for a few seconds, Chu Qinghong suddenly burst into laughter, “Xiao Si, you really have a sense of humor.
If even someone of your worth brought just a few worthless medicinal concoctions for Grandpa, how can we dare to prepare anything grand?
We wouldn’t want to inadvertently overstep your Chairman status, would we?
Can you imagine the jokes it would cause if word got out…”
In the midst of saying this, Chu Qinghong took out a gift box from his pocket and presented it to Grandpa Chu, “Grandpa, here’s my gift for you, wishing you blessings as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as Mount Nan.”
Grandpa Chu glared at him and then directly opened the gift box.
Considering the size of the box, Su Ge initially thought it might be a ring or a bracelet.
But to her surprise, as soon as Grandpa Chu picked it up, it turned out to be a small Guanyin Statue from the South Sea. Latest content published on noveⅼfire.net
Judging by its quality, it was likely picked up from a street stall outside a temple.
Moreover, it was the smallest and least valuable type.
Grandpa Chu’s face darkened instantly.
“What is this thing!”
Grandpa Chu was so infuriated he threw the object away.
