Chapter 172: Grandpa, This Is Zhenbai’s Wife!

After his parents’ exhortations, Zhu Bocheng finished his lunch and then met up with Zhenbai and Sister Shuyan. He drove to Zhenbai’s apartment to pick them up. When they got in, Zhu Bocheng recounted how Father and Mother Zhu had ‘abused’ him in the afternoon. He complained to Chi Shuyan, “Sister Shuyan, you don’t know how my parents treat the spirit rice you gave them like treasure. No, it’s practically more precious than treasure. They said they would make porridge for me to eat in the afternoon, but who would have thought that my mother would only use a handful of the rice. It didn’t even fill the bottom of the pot, and she used that to cook porridge. All of us drank it in three mouthfuls, and there was no other food. I ran outside to eat a bit before I was barely full. When I complained to my father earlier, he actually scolded me!”

What made him the most speechless was that his mother locked the remaining half-bag of spirit rice in the safe. He said helplessly that his father scolded him again and his father also said that the safe needed another lock.

Zhu Bocheng expressed his grievances.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh, and she said cheerfully, “It’s good that you’re full! It’s good that you’re full!”

Qi Zhenbai wasn’t surprised by Father and Mother Zhu’s reaction. Knowing the effect of this spirit rice, how could ordinary people not treasure it? If he and Zhu Bocheng hadn’t met his wife, and the two of them suddenly obtained a bag of magical spirit rice that could bring them back from the dead, how could he be at ease if he didn’t lock the spirit rice in the safe?

It could only be said that ever since Zhu Bocheng got to know Qi Zhenbai’s wife, he had seen a lot of things and broadened his horizons. Most importantly, as long as his wife was here, there would be no shortage of good stuff. That was why this kid was so calm.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t interrupt the two and listened to Zhu Bocheng’s complaints with no expression while he handled company affairs remotely.

Chi Shuyan thought that her abilities weren’t bad and that earning big money was no problem for her. When she learned of the man’s ability to make money, however, she was nothing. How on earth had this man developed such a brain?

Chi Shuyan recalled the purple aura around the man beside her, and said no more.

Fine, people who had the purple aura on them usually weren’t ordinary; this man, in particular, was shrouded in a thick purple aura. If he was born in a chaotic era, his fate was simply to be a monarch

Chi Shuyan finally accepted this reality. She listened to Zhu Bocheng’s complaints along the way and occasionally said a few words to the man beside her. Time passed quickly and the car soon arrived at the Zhu grandparents’ house.

Father Zhou heard the faint sound of a car and immediately came out. Seeing that his grandson not only came with friends, but was also holding half a bag of rice, how could Father Zhou not guess what this kid was carrying?

Zhu Bocheng had mentioned it in passing, but Father Zhou almost burned with anxiety at his grandson’s casual appearance. Like Father and Mother Zhu, Father Zhou was worried that this kid would accidentally drop a grain of rice, which would be enough to make his heart ache.

Compared with Father and Mother Zhu, Father Zhou was even more aware of what a treasure this spirit rice was.

His wife had even been cured of her terminal stomach cancer after eating this porridge for a month. Father Zhou had seen all sorts of things on the market in his life, but he had never seen such a good treasure. So, he hurried forward and took the bag from Zhu Bocheng. Father Zhou even opened the car door and took a look. After ensuring that the kid hadn’t dropped a single grain, Father Zhou was very satisfied, then warmly welcomed his grandson’s friends in.

Zhu Bocheng rolled his eyes at his grandpa’s exaggerated actions. How could this “bumpkin operation” be contagious? His grandpa was a bigshot in the capital. When did he become a “bumpkin”?

Qi Zhenbai slapped the back of Zhu Bocheng’s head. Zhu Bocheng didn’t dare to roll his eyes anymore and said enthusiastically, “Grandpa, how’s Grandma doing?” After saying that, Zhu Bocheng quickly introduced Sister Shuyan, since there was no way his grandpa wouldn’t not know Zhenbai as a bigshot in the capital.

So Zhu Bocheng focused on introducing Sister Shuyan and said to his grandpa, “Grandpa, she’s my best friend, closer than my own sister. She’s also Zhenbai’s wife, and called Chi Shuyan. Call her whatever nickname you like!”
