Chapter 93 This kid actually dared to give it away
The more the old man thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed his cane, stood up, and went back to his room with a dark expression.
Qiao Xing and Lin Shuang bought the groceries and went to the kitchen to cook. Lin Shuang was very enthusiastic and wanted to help her, and Qiao Xing couldn't refuse, so she let her.
With an extra person helping, the meal was prepared much faster, and the food was served in less than an hour.
Yang Han was very excited. He rubbed his hands together and stood up. "Sister-in-law, let me help you serve the dishes!"
He ran to the kitchen with a grin and helped bring out all the dishes, saying, "Great! I'm in for a treat again! I've been craving your cooking ever since I ate it last time. Now I can enjoy your cooking again. I'm going to eat a lot today. Sister-in-law, is there enough food for you?"
Don't let Yang Han's cheerful and carefree demeanor fool you; he's quite the smooth talker. No matter who he's chatting with, he always knows how to say the right things, leaving people completely bewildered.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Eat as much as you want, I guarantee you'll have enough."
"Really? Then I'm relieved, haha..."
Yang Han was very diligent; he not only helped serve the food but also helped put rice in the bowls. In contrast, Qin Ce, the real master of the place, sat there like a king, practically handing the food to him.
"Where's Grandpa?" Qiao Xing then realized that Grandpa Qin was not in the living room.
"He's inside. I'll go call him." Qin Ce stood up and went inside to call the old man for dinner.
The old man was on the phone with Qin Ce's father inside the house. As soon as Qin Ce opened the door, he heard the old man say, "Don't worry about his affairs. You've ignored him for so many years, and now you're trying to get him married. What kind of father are you?"
"Alright, stop talking to me about that. I know you too well. You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken. Is there something wrong with your company that you're trying to arrange a marriage with him?"
"Hmph, I'm your father, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"You bastard, now you're blaming me? You're the one who's not being proper, and you have the nerve to blame me? Get out, get out, I don't want to talk to you!"
The old man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He slammed down the phone.
Turning his head, he saw Qin Ce standing at the door looking at him. The old man looked a little uneasy. "When did you come in?"
"Just came in? What did he say?"
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about it. Anyway, you and him have nothing to do with each other anymore. Let him do whatever he wants. I can't be bothered to care."
Qin Ce frowned and said, "I heard you say that his company is in trouble?"
The old man sighed and shook his head, saying, "It's not that there's a problem. He's got his eye on some project, but his company doesn't have the technology, so he wants to arrange a marriage with someone. That brat..."
Qin Ce nodded. "I see. Let's go out for dinner. Everything is ready and we're waiting for you."
"I can't eat, you guys eat!" the old man said irritably.
"Even if you can't eat, go and eat something. Everyone is waiting for you. And today is the first day of moving. If you don't go out, Qiao Xing will start to overthink things."
The old man paused, then his mind started to ache again at the mention of Qiao Xing. "Xiao Ce, tell me the truth, what are you really thinking? How long are you going to keep this a secret?"
Qin Ce opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
After a while, he replied, seemingly off-topic, "Let's eat first and then talk about this."
"You..." The old man shook his head and sighed. He couldn't do anything about Qin Ce either. In the current situation, he had no choice but to solve the problem.
The old man stood up with his cane and followed Qin Ce outside.
After the two men sat down, Zhang Zhe, with great tact, stood up and poured drinks for everyone. "Old man, can you drink?"
"Why can't I drink? Don't underestimate me just because I'm old. If we really drank, all of you combined couldn't outdrink me!" The old man proudly tilted his head back, as if he were invincible.
Yang Han chuckled. "Really, Grandpa? Shall we have a drink?"
Zhang Zhe really believed the old man's words and picked up the wine bottle to pour wine for him, but before he could pour it, Qin Ce pressed down on the wine glass.
He can't drink alcohol.
Zhang Zhe glanced awkwardly at Qin Ce, then at the old man, chuckled dryly, and turned to pour Qin Ce a drink.
"You brat, don't go too far! You're all drinking, but I'm not allowed to? On such a wonderful day..."
Qin Ce glanced at him indifferently, "Don't you know your own body?"
"I know perfectly well! Get out of my way!"
Qin Ce removed his hand, flicked his wrist, picked up the juice on the table, and poured it for the old man.
The old man glared at him angrily, "You brat!"
Ignoring his anger, Qin Ce poured Qiao Xing another glass of juice, saying, "You can't drink alcohol either."
Qiao Xing: "..."
She can drink, so why can't she? Besides, she doesn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so what's wrong with having a little drink?
But Qin Ce didn't discuss it with her anymore; he had already poured her some juice.
Qiao Xing sighed.
Yang Han picked up his glass, stood up, and said, "Today is a good day for Lao Qin to move. Come on, everyone, let's have a drink!"
Zhang Zhe hurriedly held up his wine glass and, like a lackey, toasted each of them. His humble and servile manner made Lin Shuang feel a surge of anger.
She usually boasts that her boyfriend earns a million a year and is a senior executive in the company, but here he's no different from a lackey. She feels ashamed just sitting here.
Qiao Xing also raised her glass, and Zhang Zhe toasted her as well, which made Qiao Xing feel flattered.
After finishing his drink, Yang Han started eating. After a few bites, he cleared his throat and began to get down to business.
He turned to Qiao Xing and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you satisfied with this house?"
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "I'm quite satisfied. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for this yet. Last time I said I would treat you to dinner, but you paid the bill, which made us feel quite embarrassed. You must eat more today."
Yang Han nodded, "Of course, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I just wanted to say, since you think this house is nice, and I heard from Lao Qin that you want to buy a house, why don't you just buy mine?"
Qiao Xing was stunned. She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "We can't afford this house."
Yang Han gave the old man a wink, signaling him to hurry up and get to work. The old man's face turned extremely ugly. He pretended not to see Yang Han's expression and ate his meal in silence.
Yang Han coughed twice, but the old man ignored him, so he took the initiative to talk to him, "Grandpa, what do you think? Do you like this house?"
The old man glared at him. "If you like it, you can just give it to Grandpa."
Yang Han laughed heartily, "Really? Grandpa, if you're serious, I'll just give it to you! Just say the word!"
The old man was speechless. Although Yang Han was laughing, both the old man and Qin Ce knew that the young man was not joking at all.
If he dares to say it's true, this kid will really give it to him.
