Chapter 180: The Richest Man in Northern Liang 4

“That’s not the case, Missy.” The servant was not sure whether he should laugh or cry and explained, “That guest brought his own window sill and table, including the tables and the chairs. He had a few carriages worth of luggage! I heard from the servants that their master was used to that kind of thing since he was young.”

Qi Qingyao, “…” How loaded!

He was definitely unmatched.

It seemed that this grandpa she wanted to get to know was simply too rich.

No wonder he was the millionaire of Northern Liang.

It was night. After Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin brought the children home, they saw Qi Qingyao sitting by herself at the dining table, smiling like an idiot. The dishes had all been prepared and she was just waiting for everyone to return so that they could begin eating.

After Si Jin sat down, he began consuming the white rice frantically like usual.

The children used their chopsticks to not-too-skillfully pick the dishes for themselves.

To ensure that they would not simply poke around the dishes, Qi Qingyao put a few pieces of braised pork as well as chicken feet into their bowls for them to gnaw away at.

Jiang Yeqian did not touch his chopsticks. He just stared at her smiling face, vaguely sensing that her mood was incredibly good.

Something definitely happened today.

He questioned.

“What are you smiling about?”

“I met the Head Grand Secretariat just now.” Qi Qingyao was rather forthcoming.

“Head Grand Secretariat… what Head Grand Secretariat?”

Jiang Yeqian was surprised, almost dropping the bowl he had just picked up. He hurriedly tightened his grip on the bowl and carefully turned to look at her. “And where did you meet this mighty Head Grand Secretariat?”

“In the room at the edge of the corridor.” Qi Qingyao simply pointed somewhere before she rubbed her jaw and sighed, “The richest person (1a)* in Northern Liang is just on a whole other level, he’s truly admirable. Thank goodness I was quick about it and immediately acknowledged him on the spot and called him my god grandfather. He will be my god grandfather whether or not he acknowledges me in the future.”

“The Head Grand Secretariat (1b)* of Northern Liang couldn’t possibly be in that room. The man is definitely a phony,” Jiang Yeqian said firmly.

The corners of his lips fell into a straight line.

He was sitting right here. Could someone actually have the nerve to pretend to be the Head Grand Secretariat?

Not to mention, she had even recognized them as her god grandfather?

In that case, your god grandfather was right in front of you!

Qi Qingyao looked at Jiang Yeqian’s suddenly troubled expression with surprise and said without any hurry, “What do you mean a phony? He already admitted he was the young master of the Senluo Chambers of Commerce. Not to mention he was definitely carrying a cat. How could he possibly be a phony?”

Jiang Yeqian was stumped. “Ah, you’re referring to the richest person.”

Qi Qingyao was speechless. “What did you think I said?”

Jiang Yeqian, “No—nothing, the wealthiest man in Northern Liang is definitely Lu Yan, then.”

Qi Qingyao paused for a moment before looking at Jiang Yeqian with a superficial smile, “So, you do know who he is.”

“…”

Jiang Yeqian lowered his head and dug into his meal, saying nothing.

“Lu, Loo, Lieu. How is his Lu spelled? What about Yan?” Qi Qingyao wondered.

Jiang Yeqian was silent for a moment but eventually said, “It’s L-U, and Y-A-N!!”

“Lu Yan.” Qi Qingyao chewed over the person’s name when she recalled the gorgeous furnishings in his room again. “He’s called Lu Yan, huh. He has a nice name and is good-looking. His hair’s fabulous and he has a cat too! His family is also the richest in Northern Liang. He really won in life!”

“…” Jiang Yeqian had just taken a bite of rice but he could not chew or swallow.

Gaze steady and silent, Jiang Yeqian took in Qi Qingyao’s smitten expression as she praised Lu Yan. Her expression was as if she had met her dream paramour. It ignited a flame within him. A really big one.

The heck did she even mean by his hair was fabulous?

“This golden goose is definitely mine to hold! To hell with his willingness, Little Yan will be my grandfather in the future!” Saying this, Qi Qingyao even turned to remind her children, “You three, make sure that when you see a beautiful man with a super fat white cat next time, you call him great grandfather!”

“~~~”

They were having a great grandfather so soon?

The children nodded as they ate.

Qi Qingyao added, “This great grandfather is exceptionally rich!”

Their eyes shining, the little fellas who finally swallowed their mouthfuls of rice cheered, “Alright~ Mommy!”

Since Mommy said that great grandfather was really rich, who was to say that he would not give them a mansion with a living pond!

So, the next time they see him, they would definitely be nice and respectful.

Translator’s Note: In Mandarin, the characters for 1a and 1b are homonyms which led to the confusion when Jiang Yeqian thought she was referring to the Head Grand Secretariat when she was referring to the richest person instead.
