Chapter 245: 245 Several projects are underway simultaneously

There are already two Old Master Bai’s around... Shouting back and forth, won’t it confuse the readers?

Yueqing thought for a moment, then respectfully said, "Alright! Boss Bai!"

Boss Bai: Silent.JPG...

He was now over ninety years old, and the younger generation had all kinds of names for him.

There were quite a few people like Yueqing who insisted on calling him Boss, but there was no hint of scheming hypocrisy in her eyes.

Pure eyes, carrying clear eyesight... It’s something you can’t fake.

For some reason, looking at her was like seeing his own granddaughter’s rebelliousness in her youth?

His heart inevitably softened a bit, "Fine, call me whatever you like."

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuannuan chuckled, "Ancestor Bai must like Sister Yueqing~"

"Hmph," Boss Bai snorted with pretentious disapproval.

After Nuannuan served him tea, he casually asked, "How old are you this year, girl? Where do you work? Are you married yet?"

As soon as he spoke, he fired off the classic triple inquiry of the elders.

"Ancestor Bai, Sister Yueqing has brought her two kids over for a visit~ Look at you, still asking if she’s married?"

Boss Bai made a noise of acknowledgment and took a closer look at the two little children, "Hmm, they have good looks, just like you."

Jun Yan: Yay~ Ancestor Bai says I look like Mommy, I’m happy~

In contrast, Yan Wang’s emotions were not as excited as his younger brother’s. His calm and taut little face only allowed his eyes to reveal a subtle and hard-to-detect joy.

Boss Bai took an extra look at Yan Wang.

This child, so composed at such a young age, just like Nuannuan’s brother Qu Cheng, was bound to accomplish great things in the future.

Yueqing joyfully answered Boss Bai’s questions, "I’m 25 this year. I used to work in the entertainment industry, but now, I’m doing freelance work."

"25 years old?" Boss Bai said in surprise, "These two children, they look about four or five years old, you—"

Yueqing knew what Boss Bai wanted to ask and politely explained, "My husband and I were married abroad, where it’s legal to marry at 18. Hua Country recognizes marriages that are conducted overseas."

"Oh, I see."

He had worried it was an impulsive decision by a minor.

"And what does your husband do?"

"He..." Yueqing’s eyelashes fell, her heart ached slightly, "has passed away."

Boss Bai: !!!

"Sorry, I’ve touched upon a sad topic for you," he said, immediately adopting a warmer tone.

Ji Nuannuan hadn’t realized that Sister Yueqing was a single mother. Feeling sympathy, she stepped forward, "Sister Yueqing, it’s very tough to raise kids alone~ Now that you’ve become our neighbor, if you ever need anything, feel free to ask us for help!"

Boss Bai nodded repeatedly, "Hmm, this little monkey of mine doesn’t have much to do normally, so let her come over and help you more often."

"Sure, I’ll certainly ask if I need to."

Their kindness might not be needed in the future, but it was always good to accept it for now~

She couldn’t let them think she was proud and cold~

Indeed, after this exchange, the conversation among them became a few degrees warmer.

Upon hearing that Yueqing was involved in charity work and even planning to start an animal shelter for stray animals, Ji Nuannuan showed great interest.

"Sister Yueqing, although I don’t chase celebrities, I’ve heard friends mention that there’s an extraordinary person in the entertainment industry lately. Not only did they make a comeback through a reality show featuring children, but they also set up a fully transparent charitable foundation with a billion in funding! I can’t believe I’m seeing them in person today~"

"You all flatter me too much, it’s really not that exaggerated, it’s just about doing what one can within their capabilities," Yueqing humbly replied.

Ji Nuannuan shook her head seriously, "Sister Yueqing, there are many wealthy people in the world, but very few who truly practice philanthropy~ Many use charity as a front, either to make money or to launder it, treating the public like fools! Your fully transparent website is like a slap in their faces!"

Seeing Yueqing lower her lashes, Boss Bai thought she was worried about safety issues and spoke up lightly, "Yan Yatou, don’t be afraid, just go ahead and do good boldly! Don’t worry about the rest! I might be old, but I’m not dead yet."

Ji Nuannuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Is Great-grandfather... offering to help Sister Yueqing?

Wow!

She knew Sister Yueqing was special~ Just upon meeting her, and in just a few sentences, she managed to win over the toughest, Great-grandfather?

Usually, anyone trying to borrow Great-grandfather’s influence would be harshly scolded.

But now...

She covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, "Sister Yueqing, I know your foundation doesn’t accept any investment and just wants to do tangible charitable work~ I won’t meddle in that~ But can I participate in that stray animal shelter?"

Boss Bai lifted his eyelid, "Hmm, you’ve graduated and have nothing else to do, it would be good for you to help out."

Yueqing asked with curiosity, "Nuannuan seems to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, shouldn’t you still be in school? Do you have the time to come to the shelter?"

It seemed that Boss Bai was just waiting for her to ask this question!

His aged body suddenly sat up straight, and his typically dim old eyes now sparkled with vigor.

"This child is as intelligent as her mother. At just fifteen, she has already earned double bachelor’s degrees from B University. I originally thought that Nuan Yatou was too noisy at home and wanted to send her to her mother abroad, but Xiao Bai found her noisy too and insisted on staying in Hua Country to keep this old man company. Yan Yatou, if it’s convenient for you, take away Nuan Yatou earlier. Her endless chatter is driving my ears mad!"

Though he said this, the smile at the corner of his lips could not be hidden.

His expression was even one of smug delight~~

Ji Nuannuan leaned in, "Ancestor Bai, it’s clear you just can’t bear to let me go, I stayed behind especially for you~~~"

"Hmph, who misses you. You’re so young, and we have nothing in common to talk about. Better go out and bother someone else," he countered, his words belying his true feelings.

The playful facade reminded Yueqing of her own grandfather, who also had this sort of proud, tsundere temper.

Hmm~

Suddenly, she missed her grandfather.

She wondered how he was doing back at Jiang Garden.

Did he sneakily eat pork knuckles?!

Moved by her thoughts, Yueqing said, "Boss Bai may complain with his mouth, but he truly dotes on Nuannuan the most! My own grandfather is the same. I reckon I’ll have to stay in the Magic Capital for a while, so I’ll ask my grandfather later. If he’s willing to come, Boss Bai, you’ll have someone to play chess with."

She had just entered the room when she spotted an old chess set, probably one of Boss Bai’s cherished possessions.

Sure enough, upon hearing about a potential chess companion, Boss Bai’s eyes lit up, "Good, good, good! There’s nobody in this neighborhood to play chess with me. If your grandfather can come, let us old brothers have a good couple of games!"

Yueqing nodded, "Alright!"

Boss Bai, given his advanced age, started feeling sleepy after talking for a while, so Ji Nuannuan quickly helped him upstairs to rest.

Seeing this, Yueqing exchanged contact information with Nuannuan and left with her two sons.

Returning to her own estate, Butler Zhong led the rest of the staff in an orderly fashion.

The cook had prepared a sumptuous dinner, and after they heartily enjoyed the meal, she took her sons back to their rooms to rest.
