Chapter 176: Recognize Your Godparents!
Because the spirit rice had saved their lives, Grandpa and Grandma Zhou didn’t have the slightest intention of investigating Chi Shuyan’s secrets and identity. The two elders weren’t greedy and were very satisfied.
Grandpa Zhou’s greatest wish in his life was for his wife to recover. Now that his wish had been granted, how could he be greedy?
But while Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou didn’t plan to mention it, Zhu Bocheng took the initiative to tell them that he had almost died in an accident early on, and had survived thanks to the Protective Talisman from Sister Shuyan.
Having lived to this age, the two elders naturally had a discerning eye. Grandpa and Grandma Zhou naturally believed their grandson’s words, especially Grandpa Zhou. He had seen many things in his life, so naturally, he wouldn’t doubt it. The two elders were even more grateful when they learned that Chi Shuyan had also saved their grandson.
Grandpa Zhou even directly promised that whatever problem this child encountered in the future, she could just come and find him directly. He also said that she would be his goddaughter from now on, and Grandma Zhou unanimously agreed.
Chi Shuyan really couldn’t refuse the goodwill of the two elders. Feeling their sincerity, she was naturally moved and finally called them, “Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou!”
The two elders responded, and these godparents were finally recognized.
After making sure that Grandma Zhou was fine, the three of them had a big meal in the evening, personally cooked by Grandpa Zhou, before they left.
Before she left, Chi Shuyan gave each of the elders another Peace Talisman. This Peace Talisman wasn’t drawn on ordinary yellow paper, but on two clear, smooth and round jades. This kind of Peace Talisman was directly infused with her spiritual energy, and was rarer and of a higher grade than the yellow paper Peace Talisman. Wearing it not only ensured one’s safety, it was also good for the body.
When Grandpa Zhou saw them out, Chi Shuyan said, “Grandpa Zhou, both of you wear these two jades from now on. They’re good for your health, especially for Grandma Zhou!”
Zhu Bocheng knew that nothing that came from Sister Shuyan’s hands was bad. Even as he coveted it, he quickly said to his grandpa, “Grandpa, please take it. Nothing that Sister Shuyan gives is bad! This thing is definitely good for Grandma!”
Grandpa Zhou was broad-minded, so he could naturally see what was good stuff. In addition, his grandson was shouting enviously beside him. Recalling the efficacy of the spirit rice which this child had given him before, he also understood that this thing was probably very rare and hard to come by. Taking the two jade pieces, Grandpa Zhou said frankly, “Child, the old madam and I appreciate your kind intentions. I won’t say more about my gratitude; we’re family, we’re not used to thanking each other!”
When Grandpa Zhou knew that this child had been admitted to Yanjing University this year, he instructed Chi Shuyan to come over more often to play, and also instructed Zhenbai and Bocheng to take care of her more often.
In particular, he stressed to his grandson, Zhu Bocheng, that he had to listen to Zhenbai’s wife. He finally understood that Zhenbai’s wife was really no ordinary person. He didn’t have much ambition, and just wanted his grandson to be safe and sound.
Zhu Bocheng teased, “Grandpa, Sister Shuyan is my cousin now; how would I dare not take care of her? Besides, with Zhenbai this rascal around, there’s little use for me!” Zhenbai might even dislike him for being a light bulb.
Qi Zhenbai was very satisfied with Zhu Bocheng’s self-awareness.
The three bade farewell to the old man.
After they got into the car and drove for a while, Chi Shuyan took out the small box of jewelry which Old Madam Zhou had given to her and was about to return it to Zhu Bocheng, but he quickly said, “Cousin, I’m driving right now. Even if you really give it back to me, I won’t take it back. This is a gift from my grandma. Since it has been given, there’s no reason to take it back!”
In the end, Chi Shuyan could only throw this box of jewelry to the man, Qi Zhenbai. In any case, she felt too uneasy keeping this jewelry. As for how the man would deal with it, that was up to him!
Zhu Bocheng didn’t say much. Zhenbai had plenty of ways to get Sister Shuyan to take this thing anyway. Instead, after driving for a short while, he suddenly glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror and complained, “I don’t know if this trip was worth it. I didn’t get a wife, but I got a cousin! My good brother was the one to pick up a bargain!”
“What? Are you dissatisfied?” Qi Zhenbai’s cold gaze swept over him, and that invisible oppressive aura immediately made Zhu Bocheng withdraw his resentful eyes, straighten his back, and nod hurriedly. “Satisfied! Too satisfied!” After a pause, Zhu Bocheng hurriedly urged Chi Shuyan, “Cousin, hurry and take care of your husband for me!”
Chi Shuyan: …
