Chapter 3946 - Uncle Jing Coming Back from Death 6
My Youth Began With Him
âWhere did you get this?ââGoodies like this usually end up at folk markets. Once itâs deemed authentic, it would be sold or auctioned off. Some traders save it for the right buyer. I actually know a friend in the auction business, when I called he said the piece was still available. Itâll be delivered at around noon today.â
Qin Chuâs father was speechless. Up until right this moment, he always treated Pudding like a child. Never did he think that his granddaughter would buy something so rare and expensive for him, just because he said he liked it while watching some TV show.
All Pudding did was call a friend? She has friends in the auction business? What kind of world was he living in? She was still a toddler!
âPudding, how much did you spend on it?â Grandpa Qin was aware how pricy wooden carvings could be; plus, the one Pudding just showed him was a one-piece carving.
âIt wasnât much,â Pudding said nonchalantly.
âHow much is not much?â
âThe expert appraisal is 17 million yuan⦠my friend gave me a discount, I bought it for 15 million.â
â15 million yuan?â Grandpa Qin stood up in shock. Although he was a rich businessman and has been wealthy all his life, he retired a long time ago, and hasnât dealt with large sums of money in years.
They had some expensive pieces at home, but Qin Chu and Huo Mian were the ones who brought them home.
Last month, he went antiquing with an old friend and saw a Buddhist bead bracelet. It cost 600,000 yuan, but he didnât buy it. Therefore, imagine how flabbergasted he was to hear that his daughter bought him a 15 million yuan-wooden carving in the span of a minute.
âPudding, thatâs too expensive, call your friend to return it.â Grandpa Qin didnât want to spend so much money on a single piece of wood.
âGrandpa, I rarely hear you so excited about anything, the moneyâs not important, if itâll make you happy, Iâll buy you anything, even if it costs 15 billion yuan.â
After hearing Puddingâs words, Grandpa Qin was on the verge of tears. âIâm so lucky to have such a good granddaughter in my lifeâ¦â
âGrandpa, donât worry, I bought this for you with the money I made in the stock market, I didnât ask daddy or the company for money, you donât have to feel bad.â
âStill, money is money, you worked hard to earn itâ¦â
âItâs worth it, as long as youâre happy. Letâs have some tea, Grandpa.â
âOkay, letâs make the tea your daddy brought home last week.â
âOkay.â
Those upstairs overheard the conversation between Pudding and Grandpa Qin.
Grandma Qin said to Little Bean on purpose. âLook at how good your sister is at making your grandpa happy, I bet sheâs worried we wonât pay attention to her once your brother is born. Look at you, all you do every day is video chat Boyuan, arenât you worried that we wonât love you anymore?â
âThat will never happen,â Little Bean answered with a laugh.
âHow so?â Grandma Qin teased.
âBecause I have my daddyâs blood in my veins. You guys will have no choice but to love me!â
Grandma Qin burst out in laughter; Little Bean really did have a point! She even went downstairs to tell Grandpa Qin and pudding what Little Bean said to her.
Grandpa Qin laughed. âLittle Bean sure is a smart one. Who said she was emotionally blunt?â
âDonât get me wrong, sheâs not emotionally blunt at all! Sheâs just not as sensitive as I am,â Pudding laughed as well.
GK Headquarters
Huo Mian fell asleep on the couch inside the office. After putting a blanket over her, Qin Chu went back to work until it was lunchtime.
Huo Mian woke up at noon feeling famished. âHoney, Iâm starving. Can we get some food at the cafeteria?â
âIâll take you somewhere else today,â Qin Chu smiled mysteriously as he reached out to help Huo Mian up.
