“Where did you get this?”
“Goodies like this usually end up at folk markets . Once it’s 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 . It’ll be delivered at around noon today . ”
Qin Chu’s 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!
“Pudding, how much did you spend on it?” Grandpa Qin was aware how pricy wooden carvings could be; plus, the one Pudding just showed him was a one-piece carving .
“It wasn’t much,” Pudding said nonchalantly .
“How much is not much?”
“The expert appraisal is 17 million yuan… my friend gave me a discount, I bought it for 15 million . ”
“15 million yuan?” 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 hasn’t 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 didn’t 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 .
“Pudding, that’s too expensive, call your friend to return it . ” Grandpa Qin didn’t want to spend so much money on a single piece of wood .
“Grandpa, I rarely hear you so excited about anything, the money’s not important, if it’ll make you happy, I’ll buy you anything, even if it costs 15 billion yuan . ”
After hearing Pudding’s words, Grandpa Qin was on the verge of tears . “I’m so lucky to have such a good granddaughter in my life…”
“Grandpa, don’t worry, I bought this for you with the money I made in the stock market, I didn’t ask daddy or the company for money, you don’t have to feel bad . ”
“Still, money is money, you worked hard to earn it…”
“It’s worth it, as long as you’re happy . Let’s have some tea, Grandpa . ”
“Okay, let’s make the tea your daddy brought home last week . ”
“Okay . ”
Those upstairs overheard the conversation between Pudding and Grandpa Qin .
Grandma Qin said to Little Bean on purpose . “Look at how good your sister is at making your grandpa happy, I bet she’s worried we won’t pay attention to her once your brother is born . Look at you, all you do every day is video chat Boyuan, aren’t you worried that we won’t love you anymore?”
“That will never happen,” Little Bean answered with a laugh .
“How so?” Grandma Qin teased .
“Because I have my daddy’s blood in my veins . You guys will have no choice but to love me!”
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 . “Little Bean sure is a smart one . Who said she was emotionally blunt?”
“Don’t get me wrong, she’s not emotionally blunt at all! She’s just not as sensitive as I am,” 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 . “Honey, I’m starving . Can we get some food at the cafeteria?”
“I’ll take you somewhere else today,” Qin Chu smiled mysteriously as he reached out to help Huo Mian up .
