BXBX NOVEL Chapter 712 - Grandpa Will Tell You a Story
Chapter 712: Grandpa Will Tell You a Story
“My sweetheart, you’re very cute today too.” Lisa kissed Qiao Jiusheng’s cheek and whispered to her, “I specially went to buy this outfit the day before yesterday. Your father said that I looked very charming in it. This is the effect I want.”
Qiao Jiusheng narrowed her eyes and smiled, praising her for her high standards.
Fang Yusheng was not as polite as Qiao Jiusheng. He snorted and praised her. “You look alright today.”
Lisa glared at him and scolded, “Rascal!”
Her bastard son casually stuffed a red packet into her hand and said, “Take it. It’s enough for you to go to the beauty salon a few times.” His mother loved beauty. Recently, she had been nourished by love, so she loved beauty even more. Lisa knew how much Fang Yusheng loved money. The way he loved someone was to give that person money.
Lisa took the red packet and thanked him.
Fang Yusheng snorted and swaggered into the house.
The two little fellows also prepared gifts for Lisa.
The gifts were all in a box. Lisa first opened Fang Zicheng’s and opened it. It was a simple pearl brooch. This brooch matched Lisa’s elegant temperament. She hugged Fang Zicheng and kissed him to thank him.
Fang Zicheng touched his face before walking to the sofa and sitting down.
Lisa opened his gift box under Fang Zikai’s expectant gaze.
Fang Zikai wrapped it very tightly. Lisa was especially curious about Fang Zikai’s gift. When she opened the last layer, she asked, “What is it?”
Fang Zikai blinked his black eyes and said mysteriously, “Guess, I won’t say it.”
“Brat!”
Lisa opened the package and was amused.
Fang Zikai actually wrapped a bag of spicy sticks for her.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry, but she still thanked Fang Zikai. Fang Zikai tiptoed and whispered into Lisa’s ear. He said, “This is my favorite snack. Grandma, try it too.”
“Okay.”
Lisa really tore open the spicy sticks and ate one. In an instant, Lisa seemed to have touched a magical door.
“How is it? Is it delicious?” Fang Zikai asked.
Lisa quickly ate another one before asking, “Where did you buy it? I’ll buy it someday.”
Fang Zikai was about to answer when Chi Baoguang suddenly appeared behind them. “Where did you get it?” Chi Baoguang snatched the snack away and said, “This is dirty. You’re not allowed to eat it in the future.”
The grandma and grandchild looked at each other aggrievedly.
“Grandma, don’t be sad. I’ll tell you the name of that shop.” Fang Zikai whispered the name of the shop into Lisa’s ear before running off to play with Fang Zicheng. Qiao Jiusheng only gave Lisa the gift she had prepared after everyone had given theirs.
The box was quite big. Lisa shook it and heard a series of sounds. Lisa opened the box and was surprised to see a large pile of lipstick. She asked Qiao Jiusheng, “How did you know that I like this brand of lipstick?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I saw you use this brand a few times.”
“God, this is really the most loving gift I’ve received.”
No woman who loved beauty could resist the temptation of lipstick. Lisa was no exception.
During the meal, Lisa had a smile on her face the entire time. Qiao Jiusheng drank champagne while Fang Yusheng and Lisa drank red wine. Chi Baoguang wanted to drink rice wine, and the two little fellows drank coconut juice. Lisa made her best French food. Qiao Jiusheng looked at the table full of delicacies and felt ashamed.
Her mother-in-law was really amazing.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also smart and knew how to cook.
Chi Baoguang ate very quickly, but he was still more refined than when they first met. Of course, it was only relative. The table was rectangular. Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng sat on one side while Lisa sat on the other side alone. Opposite Chi Baoguang sat the two little fellows.
Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng were a little afraid of their grandfather. They were especially obedient during the meal and were very quiet the entire time.
The meal was a joyous one. Qiao Jiusheng helped Lisa wash the dishes, Fang Yusheng wiped the table, and Chi Baoguang told the two children a story.
His story was especially simple. When Qiao Jiusheng was washing the dishes in the kitchen, she heard him.
“There was once a child who was dressed in rags. He didn’t have parents. People always said that he was poor and looked down on him. Later on, he fell in love and even his girlfriend dumped him. He decided to fight poverty and become a rich man. Later on, he worked hard and opened a company to become a top tycoon. This story tells us that if we don’t work hard, we won’t be able to get a wife in the future.”
Fang Zikai was dumbfounded.
Why was Grandpa’s story different from Dad’s?
Fang Zicheng knew that his grandfather was talking nonsense and did not really listen.
Fang Zikai pondered for a while before asking Chi Baoguang, “Is the main character of the story called Jack Ma?” Jack Ma was a top tycoon.
Chi Baoguang was stunned for a moment before saying, “It’s not him.” He was making things up. There was no original story.
Fang Zikai pursed his lips. “This story is meaningless.”
In the kitchen, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but laugh when she heard this. Lisa cut some fruits and brought them to the living room. When she returned to the kitchen, she happened to hear Qiao Jiusheng laughing. Guessing what she was laughing at, Lisa asked her, “Are you very happy?”
“Yes.” Qiao Jiusheng especially cherished such a life.
Those who had really suffered before knew how precious life was now.
Lisa added, “Stay here tonight.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not agree but asked Fang Yusheng loudly, “Yusheng, are you going back tonight?:
Fang Yusheng was about to answer when he saw Chi Baoguang glancing at him. His expression changed. “We’ll stay here tonight,” he said. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chi Baoguang smile faintly when he heard his answer. Then, he lowered his head to coax the child.
At night, Qiao Jiusheng and the rest stayed in Chi Baoguang’s apartment.
Chi Baoguang had the habit of eating supper at night. In the middle of the night, Lisa cooked him a bowl of dumplings. Chi Baoguang had just taken a few bites when his phone suddenly rang. Chi Baoguang was a little surprised to see that the caller was Fang Pingjun. He ate the dumplings while answering the call.
“Pingjun.”
Fang Pingjun could tell that Chi Baoguang was eating.
He wiped his face, took a deep breath, and said nothing.
Chi Baoguang sensed that there was something wrong with his silence tonight. He felt strange and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Fang Ping said, “Second Brother, Third Brother…”
“Huh?” Upon hearing Fang Pingjue, Chi Baoguang felt disgusted.
Fang Ping choked and said, “He’s dying.”
The dumplings in Chi Baoguang’s chopsticks suddenly fell into the bowl.
The soup splashed on the back of his hand, but Chi Baoguang did not seem to notice it.
