Gongsun Jue glanced at him coldly and immediately replied, "Great-grandfather, I've also come to see my cousin."
Gong Yi snorted again, and the two of them immediately picked up the cloth shoes from the ground, put them on him, and stuffed them in tightly, like lackeys.
There was nothing they could do; the old man held all the assets!
The rich are the boss!
"Your cousin and his wife will be coming over for dinner tonight. It will be their first time meeting..." Gong Yi paused, and the two immediately replied, "We've already prepared a gift for them."
Gong Yi's expression softened a bit, and he pointed to Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo, introducing them, "This pretty girl is my attending physician, her name is Ye Qingqing. I was able to survive thanks to her. This is Qingqing's fiancé, a very capable young man."
The old man's tone was full of undisguised admiration. If Lu Mo were his child, how wonderful it would be. He wouldn't have to struggle with choosing who to be his successor. He could retire without hesitation and let Lu Mo take the helm. He would definitely be able to lead the Gongsun family to a higher level.
What a pity!
Why are all the good kids someone else's?
Lu Mo smiled slightly and extended his hand. Gongsun Gui and Lu Mo felt extremely jealous. They had lived for twenty-nine years and had never heard the old man praise them for being capable. Why did this kid have to?
And that brat surnamed Ye, if it weren't for her, that old man would have been dead long ago, and they wouldn't have gotten a smear of shoes on them. That old man's athlete's foot odor was enough to kill a person!
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've long admired your name..."
The two men shook hands with Lu Mo, their smiles forced, but their eyes were fixed on Ye Qingqing with admiration. However, they were not interested in her beauty; they only wanted to fight over the inheritance.
With money, what kind of beauty can't they get? Besides, wine and women lead people astray. They are ambitious, brilliant, and powerful heroes who are destined for great things. How could they waste their time on wine and women? Even if Daji reappeared, they wouldn't even flinch.
Ye Qingqing sensed the killing intent of the two brothers and felt a chill run down her spine. It seemed that she had blocked their path to success. Hmph, it wouldn't be so easy for them to kill her!
"Grandpa, are they your great-grandchildren?" Ye Qingqing asked deliberately.
"Yes, they are my two good-for-nothing great-grandchildren." Gong Yi said irritably, with a look of disgust on his face.
Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "They didn't inherit any of your great looks, what a pity!"
She wasn't lying. Although the Gongsun brothers were handsome and elegant, they were nowhere near as good as Gong Yi in his youth. Even Ding Ba only resembled him in appearance; his demeanor was not as good as the old man's, lacking the domineering aura of a leader.
Perhaps if Ding Ba were to hone his skills for another decade or so, he too could acquire that kind of demeanor!
Gongsun Gui and the other man's expressions changed. This brat dared to talk nonsense in front of them. They were the handsome ones, while the old man looked like a pretty boy when he was young. What a load of rubbish!
"We are certainly no match for our great-grandfather, but a man's worth lies in his ability, not his appearance. Miss Ye, you're really joking." Gongsun Jue's eyes were sinister, and his hand clenched into a fist, as if he wanted to strangle this brat.
Ye Qingqing pouted, "Grandpa's skills are top-notch. Even hundreds of years later, people will still remember the great things he did. Wow, he's handsome and so capable. Grandpa, you're amazing!"
Everyone loves to hear nice words, and Gong Yi was no exception. He was flattered by Ye Qingqing and became increasingly displeased with the two brothers. They just wanted to say that he looked like a pretty boy. Humph, if he were twenty years younger, he could have wiped them out with a single finger!
"What's so funny? Grandpa, you're laughing like a Buddha. Let me have a laugh too!" Ding Ba walked in, his pig-headed face looking even more swollen, making faces.
