Chapter 251 The Goose: Danger! Danger!
Grandpa Pei put down his fishing rod, reached out and touched his ears. He didn't think he was old enough to have hearing problems, so why was he having auditory hallucinations?
"Wait, what did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly." Old Master Pei felt that he must have misheard. His eldest grandson asking him for money? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The old butler, standing to the side, nodded hurriedly. What a joke! Their young master had never asked the master for a single penny since he came of age, so he must have misheard.
"I've come to ask you for some money." Pei Yanchuan repeated what he had just said without any expression.
Now, even Old Master Pei and the old butler couldn't deceive themselves anymore.
"Did I hear that right? You've come to me asking for money? What? Is your company about to go bankrupt? Are you going to go broke?" Old Master Pei's voice was full of great doubt.
"No, the company is operating normally, and its revenue is steadily increasing every year." Pei Yanchuan lowered his head and gently blew on the hot tea in his cup.
"Then why are you asking me for money? The company's annual profits aren't even enough for you to spend!" Old Master Pei was even more puzzled. "Do you want to hear what you're saying now? How dare you ask me for money?"
"I have no money," Pei Yanchuan answered honestly.
"Hahahaha, you said you have no money, Old Li, did you hear that? My eldest grandson actually told me he has no money." Old Master Pei laughed so hard that tears almost came out when he heard his eldest grandson's words. He quickly called the old butler standing next to him to listen.
The old butler stood to the side, also with an expression of disbelief.
Pei Yanchuan placed the teacup in his hand on the table beside him without changing his expression.
As Pei Yanchuan remained silent, Old Master Pei's laughter gradually subsided.
His eyes widened, and his laughter grew dry: "Ha, ha..."
"Are you serious, kid?" Old Master Pei's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
“Mm.” Pei Yanchuan nodded again.
For a moment, the three people in the courtyard fell silent, and silence spread through the air.
Old Master Pei turned to face Pei Yanchuan beside him: "Then tell me about your money? Your money can't just disappear or fly away for no reason, can it?"
"It hasn't disappeared."
"You're asking me for money even though you haven't disappeared?"
"It hasn't disappeared, but I can't use it right now."
"Can't use it? Interesting. You can't even use your own money? Tell me where your money is, I want to see who's stopping you from using it." Old Master Pei was successfully amused. What kind of logic was that?
“He’s with Xiao Wang,” Pei Yanchuan said calmly.
"Where? Yes, at Xiao Wang's place." Upon hearing Pei Yanchuan's answer, Grandpa Pei and the old butler fell silent instantly.
"Yes, I gave my salary card to Xiaowang a long time ago, and I'm planning to propose to him soon, I want to give him a surprise."
"But I'm currently lacking some start-up capital, which is why I've come to you for help."
As soon as Pei Yanchuan finished speaking, Old Master Pei couldn't wait to stand up from his chair.
"Great, a proposal is great! You two are proposing, oh no, not just proposing, but also paying for the wedding expenses, Grandpa will cover it all." Old Master Pei waved his hand and turned to stride into the house.
A dozen minutes later, Old Master Pei walked out of the house with a brisk pace.
He sat back down in his original seat and pushed the black card in his hand in front of Pei Yanchuan.
"Take it. This proposal must be a grand and spectacular affair, understand?" Old Master Pei's voice was filled with undisguised joy. His eldest grandson had finally come to his senses and knew how to love someone.
The old butler, standing to the side, was also happy for the two of them.
"Grandson understands."

In the bedroom, which was close to 10:30, Xu Wang lay on the bed looking at his phone, while Nuomi obediently lay beside him.
Coo coo coo—
In the quiet bedroom, a protesting sound came from Xu Wang's stomach.
In the morning, Xu Wang was fed a small bowl of plain porridge by Pei Yanchuan and was full. After several hours of digestion, he has now digested most of it.
Xu Wang rubbed his stomach, realizing he was home alone at noon today. Excitedly, he opened the food delivery app he hadn't used in a long time.
Hamburgers, fried chicken, spicy hot pot, here I come!!!
Xu Wang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he happily hugged Nuomi's big head next to him.
"Awoo~" Nuomi looked at its excited owner, a hint of confusion flashing in its eyes.
As soon as Xu Wang opened the food delivery app, the platform gave him five 10-yuan red envelopes.
Xu Wang happily found a mala tang shop with the highest sales volume and the best rating.
This is a large brand chain store.
Xu Wang scrolled down through the menu, and before he knew it, he realized that it was all spicy hot pot!
3.5 yuan for three baby bok choy leaves, 3.5 yuan for three oyster mushrooms, 3.5 yuan for two cauliflower leaves, 3.5 yuan for a fried egg...
Not only were the vegetarian dishes outrageous, but the meat dishes were also extremely outrageous.
Two slices of luncheon meat for 6.5 yuan, two beef balls for 5.5 yuan, three slices of beef for 8.5 yuan...
After looking at the price, Xu Wang suddenly realized that the 10 yuan coupon wasn't all that valuable.
When choosing the flavor, Xu Wang hesitated for a long time before finally choosing mild spicy.
He can't eat anything too spicy right now, but something mild shouldn't be too spicy, right?
Xu Wang simply bought 12 dishes, and after deducting the 10 yuan coupon, the total cost was 40 yuan and 1 mao.
After buying the mala tang (spicy hot pot), Xu Wang also ordered a small portion of fried chicken and a hamburger combo.
After deciding what to have for lunch, Xu Wang slowly climbed out of bed. Although his lower back was still a little sore, it was much better than when he had just woken up in the morning.
Nuomi obediently followed Xu Wang's leg as they walked towards the living room.
Pei Yanchuan had already prepared Nuomi's lunch, which was still a low-fat lunch.
Xu Wang sat on the sofa, playing mobile games while waiting for his lunch.
Half an hour later, the sound of fingerprint lock verification suddenly came from the door.
"Ding! Fingerprint verification successful!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wang forgot about the game on his phone and turned around in shock. He saw Pei Yanchuan carrying a bag of food walking in from outside the door.
Oh! Xu Wang felt darkness wash over him, and wondered if anyone could tell him that this wasn't real.
"Awoo awoo!" Nuomi, who was lying on the carpet, seemed to smell a favorite aroma. He excitedly stood up and ran to Pei Yanchuan. His two round, dark eyes were staring intently at him, or rather, at the bag in Pei Yanchuan's hand.
"Yan Chuan, didn't you go to the company today?" Xu Wang asked the man in front of him, his voice carrying a hint of guilt.
When Pei Yanchuan looked up at Xu Wang, he didn't miss the fleeting look of guilt that crossed the other's eyes.
"No, I just went to Grandpa's. He had someone make a small cake for Nuomi." Although Pei Yanchuan sensed something was off, he didn't press the matter. Instead, he smiled and picked up the bag in his hand. Inside the bag was a small box containing a delicate little pet cake.
As Pei Yanchuan took out the pet cake, Nuomi became even more excited, sitting in front of Pei Yanchuan and wagging its tail wildly.
"Aww, aww, aww!" So delicious! So delicious! So delicious!
Pei Yanchuan placed the pet cake in the spot where Nuomi usually ate.
Nuomi was so excited that she took a big bite, and a large hole instantly appeared on the round cake.
Nuomi was overjoyed to eat something delicious.
Taking advantage of Pei Yanchuan's inattention, Xu Wang moved slowly to the bedroom door.
"Xiao Wang?"
Just as Xu Wang was about to push the door open and go in, Pei Yanchuan's puzzled voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xu Wang turned around instantly, his back to the bedroom door, and looked at Pei Yanchuan standing not far behind him.
"What's wrong?" Xu Wang asked quietly, his hand behind his back, as he tightened his grip on the doorknob.
What would you like to eat for lunch?
"I'm fine with anything. Um, I'm going to the bathroom." After saying this, Xu Wang quickly slipped into the bedroom.
When Pei Yanchuan saw this scene, a glint flashed in his eyes. Something was definitely wrong.
In the bedroom, Xu Wang took out his phone and called the food delivery guy.
Beep beep beep...
The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.
"Hello." The delivery guy's voice came from the other end of the phone.
After the call was answered, Xu Wang quickly asked where his takeout had been delivered.
"Sir, I've left your takeout at the security office in the community. The security guard said they'll send someone to deliver it to your home."
Upon hearing the deliveryman's reply, Xu Wang thought to himself, "Oh no, this is bad! This is the end for me!"
