"Granddaughter-in-law!"
The one shouting loudly was today's protagonist, Grandpa Luo. He must have been fishing in the pond in the yard.
At this moment, he was wearing a straw hat, a vest and shorts, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket in the other. He walked quickly from the door towards Li Xi and the others, with a bright smile on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Xi couldn't help laughing. The old man was still as lively as ever.
Before the old man walked up to the two of them, Li Xi pulled Luo Jingxuan up together and gave the old man a sweet smile in return, "Grandpa, happy birthday."
"Hahaha, let's have fun together." Mr. Luo probably wanted to pat Li Xi on the shoulder, and raised his hand holding the fishing rod. Halfway up, he remembered that he had something in his hand, and hurriedly called for the servant to get it.
Dropping the item in his hand, Grandpa Luo turned around and smiled at Li Xi, ready to repeat his old trick. Li Xi recalled the severity of Grandpa Luo's slap, and before Grandpa Luo could make a move, she pulled Luo Jingxuan in front of her.
Finally, Grandpa Luo's slap landed on Luo Jingxuan. Unprepared, Luo Jingxuan was first pulled by Li Xi, then slapped by Grandpa Luo, nearly stumbling. Fortunately, his lower body was stable, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of so many people.
"Grandpa, you just fished and you smell like fish. Go wash up."
Grandpa Luo was displeased. His smile faded and he pouted. "Who am I fishing for? It's so you and your granddaughter-in-law can have a bite of fresh fish. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you even despise the fishy smell of an old man. I've never seen a grandson as ignorant as you!"
The old man grew angrier as he spoke, finally snorting a few times. He sniffed the two hands again, then deliberately used the hand that had taken the fish bucket to grab Luo Jingxuan's arm and pull him aside.
He looked at Li Xi with a smile on his face again, "Granddaughter-in-law, we don't want to play with this piece of wood. Come, tell grandpa, is this piece of wood good to you? How much pocket money did you give it?"
Perhaps it was because he did smell a bit of fishy smell when he smelled her hand just now. Now Grandpa Luo no longer pretended to pat Li Xi, but stood across from Luo Jingxuan, for fear that his own smell would offend his clean granddaughter-in-law.
Seeing the old man's look of disgust towards Luo Jingxuan, Li Xi was delighted. This was the boss in the original novel who could fight against the male protagonist, but he was defeated in front of her.
Although I didn't feel he was unattainable during our daily interactions, it was still pleasant to be able to watch Ice Face get humiliated from such a close distance.
"Grandpa, don't despise him. He's very nice to me and very generous. I can spend my pocket money freely. Besides, Grandpa still owes me a meeting gift. If I'm short of money, I can come and take Grandpa's treasure. Hehehe."
When the mention of the meeting gift came up, both Mr. Luo and Luo Jingxuan recalled the awkward moment when they first met, and their expressions froze. Of course, with Luo Jingxuan's expressionless face, no one could tell that his expression had froze.
Old Master Luo reacted quickly, froze for a moment, then immediately smiled again, "Grandpa's treasures, if you want to take them, just take them directly. But many of these treasures are well-known in the collector's circle, and everyone knows that they are with me, so it's not easy for you to sell them. If you really need money, you should ask Jingxuan for it, he has money. Hehehe."
Li Xi looked at the smile on Grandpa Luo's face and couldn't help wanting to tease him. She saw from the corner of her eye that the families of Luo Lao Da and Luo Lao San were coming over here, and she had a bad idea again. She deliberately raised her voice to ensure that they could hear, "Why would I think of selling grandpa's treasures? They are grandpa's treasures and mine as well. I don't have time to sell my treasures. Besides, my uncle and my third uncle both promised to give me a gift today. It seems that they want to give me tens of millions or something. I will talk to grandpa after the money arrives."
"Hahaha, fine, fine! I'm saying that the elders can't be shortchanged on the new bride's meeting gift. Tens of millions is tens of millions, it can't be too little."
Li Xi was even happier with Mr. Luo's cooperation, and her smile became even brighter. "I don't know. Uncle Gang and Third Uncle didn't say how much they would give, just that they would give. I'm still waiting for a surprise!"
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I didn't expect these two guys to still play surprises on the younger generation at this age. Hahaha."
Old Master Luo laughed heartily, and Li Xi was also laughing happily. It was only Luo Ren and Luo Li who suffered. They were walking around, but Li Xi was the one who took the blame. The previous mention of a meeting gift was just a verbal exchange between the few of them, but now that it had reached Old Master Luo's ears, he had to give it even if he didn't want to.
Luo Ren, Luo Li, Xiao Lin, and Luo Xingyue all looked unhappy.
Luo Jingting felt that it was none of his business. After all, he was in charge of the company and received dividends from the head office every year. He was not that obsessed with his parents' money.
Luo Xingming gets pocket money from Luo Jingxuan every month. His parents gave money to Li Xi, and Luo Jingxuan would probably give him more pocket money next month. This money would go around and around and finally go into his pocket, so he didn't lose out.
As for Yun Mei, she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she was a little happy. Luo Li wouldn't treat her badly, but most of his money went to those snails. After spending this money, Luo Li's pockets would be empty for a while, and he probably wouldn't be able to go looking at snails for a while. Naturally, she was happy that she could spend more time on herself.
Li Xi saw the frowning faces of several people from the corner of her eye and let herself laugh for a long while before she "accidentally turned around" and noticed their presence. She feigned surprise and said, "Oh, I didn't see you just now. Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, cousin, and two cousins, you are here."
Luo Ren and Luo Li were too lazy to pay attention to her. Xiao Lin gave an ugly smile and didn't want to talk. Finally, Yun Mei took over and said, "I saw Xingyue's grandfather coming in. Let's all come over to say hello."
