Chapter 473: Handsome, don't go yet

~8 min read 1,415 words

"In short, I will not interfere with who Bingyan wants to be with, and I will not allow you people in the Elder Council to interfere either!" Even facing Tang Zhipeng, the Enforcement Elder, Tang Laoyezi's attitude remained tough: "Whoever among you likes Gu Beicheng, just marry your own granddaughter to him!"

On the street of the most prosperous commercial district in Jiangcheng City, a woman dressed in a gypsy girl's dress was holding a crystal ball and soliciting business.

"Free tarot reading. Love luck, career luck, wealth luck—I can calculate them all for you..."

"This handsome guy, do you want me to measure your peach blossom luck?"

"Eh... handsome, don't go yet..."

The astrologer looked at the back of the young man who ran faster than a rabbit and sighed helplessly.

"Eh... why is it so hard to make money now."

Of course, her so-called free wasn't truly free; it was just using the banner of free to trick people into taking the bait, and then taking the opportunity to promote the luck-transferring bracelets she had wholesaled.

As a result, after setting up a stall here for a day, she hadn't even sold one of the cheapest bracelets.

Looking at the poker-faced lolita opposite her, who simply put a broken bowl in front of herself and didn't have to do anything, yet actually harvested a few coins—truly, the world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not what they used to be!

"Making money is not hard." The black-haired lolita glanced at the bracelets on the small table and said faintly: "Tricking people out of money is quite hard."

Astrologer:... I'll fight you!

Just as she was aggressively rolling up her sleeves, intending to have a fight with the black-haired lolita, the small stall was suddenly surrounded by three men in black.

The leading man didn't say a word and directly threw several Western Alliance general currency notes onto the astrologer's small stall.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things?" The astrologer smiled and picked them up to shine them against the street lamp light. After confirming their authenticity, she immediately put on a smiling face: "Are you handsome guys here to calculate love luck or career luck? I can also calculate family and health!"

"It's not us who want to calculate." The man in black who threw the money said coldly.

"Then who is it?" The astrologer asked back, puzzled.

"It's me." A childish voice sounded. The three men automatically stepped aside, revealing the little boy standing behind them.

"Ah ah ah!" Seeing the little boy, the astrologer was so scared she almost threw the thousand-dollar bill in her hand. She immediately turned to run, but her retreat was blocked by several men in black behind her.

At the same time, the black-haired lolita opposite and the uniformed woman watching the fun not far away were also brought over by the men in black, standing in a row with the astrologer.

"Running away? You don't want to see me?" The little boy looked at the three women trembling in front of him with an indifferent gaze.

"How could that be?" The astrologer barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "When did you come to Huaxia? You didn't say anything in advance so I could go pick you up!"

The little boy saw through the astrologer's insincerity and just snorted coldly, continuing to ask: "Where is my aunt?"

"This..." The astrologer looked at the two women beside her with a guilty conscience, then looked at the sky helplessly: "I don't know..."

"That's right, she is our boss; how dare we manage her whereabouts?" The uniformed woman also explained: "Usually she goes wherever she wants. She only contacts us when she needs to. We can't find her."

"But don't worry, we'll go find her right now. Once we find her, we'll bring her back immediately!" The astrologer began to draw a pie for the little boy: "You are not familiar with the place in Huaxia; I'm not at ease with you running around randomly."

"You are not at ease with me?" The little boy raised his eyebrows.

Astrologer:...

"Who said I didn't find her?" Yun Shuying simply hardened her heart: "I've already found him!"

The little boy's hand, which was about to press the send key, paused, his deep pool-like big eyes staring straight over.

"Where is he?"

Yun Shuying had just breathed a sigh of relief when she had to face a new predicament. She touched her chest and then tried hard to make her lie believable.

"Don't be anxious first. I've already found him, so naturally, I have to let him meet you. You've been separated for so long, it doesn't matter if it's one or two more days. Moreover, your dad also said he needed to give his son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, a surprise, so he didn't let me tell you."

"Look, your dad's painstaking effort for you was wasted by you. Do you think he can be happy?"

"I will explain it to him." The little boy said calmly.

"Then..." Yun Shuying truly couldn't do anything about this little ancestor of hers. At the critical moment, she had a flash of inspiration again: "Even if you don't want a surprise, you can't let your dad be shocked, right?"

"Shocked?" The little boy's face darkened slightly.

"Think about it. When you go to see your dad, don't you even change into new clothes? It looks like you don't value it. If your dad finds out, he will definitely feel you don't want him."

Little boy:...

Yun Shuying noticed a trace of hesitation in his eyes and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "If you dress up a bit cuter, your dad will be happy when he sees you."

Little boy: "Mm."

Yun Shuying finally breathed a sigh of relief, escaping a disaster for the time being.

"Then don't tell him I've already come." The little boy suddenly raised his head, his obsidian-like black eyes staring straight at Yun Shuying.

Yun Shuying felt guilty again: "This isn't good, is it? You've already come; why don't you want to tell him?"

If she didn't tell Xu Tian, she wouldn't be able to align their stories in advance!

"Didn't you say my dad wanted to prepare a surprise for me? I think so too."

Yun Shuying:...

Does this count as lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet?

If she had known, she wouldn't have said anything. Anyway, the more you say, the more you get wrong.

Yun Shuying returned to the Green Hotel in Jiangcheng with the little ancestor from home.

Just when she thought she could use the little ancestor's card to open a presidential suite and have a beautiful sleep, she was invited over by the little ancestor's bodyguards.

Arriving at the little ancestor's room, Yun Shuying discovered that the entire living room was filled with children's clothing. However, all the clothes were either black or gray-white, and the styles were all similar—anyway, they were suits, trousers, and formal wear that children would absolutely never touch.

And the little boy standing in front of the full-length mirror was still carefully selecting clothes.

"... You're going to open a shop." Yun Shuying walked over heartlessly, looking at the clothes around her and picking and choosing: "Holy crap... this is a handmade suit from Italy's M studio, directly seven figures. This is too extravagant!"

"And this one, it's from a century-old tailor shop in the Western Alliance, right?"

"Are you here to find your dad, or to attend Fashion Week?"

"This is my first time seeing my dad; naturally, I have to value it." The little boy didn't even give her a glance: "You help me pick too."

Yun Shuying:...

Oh, she almost forgot, this little guy hadn't seen his own biological father and mother since he had memories. He's a child; nervousness is understandable.

So she walked to the little boy's side and picked up a white casual sweater with light gray jeans from a pile of black and gray formal wear.

"How about this set? It looks more lively."

The little boy took one look and turned his head away in disgust: "That set is a free gift. I remember I already had someone deal with it. Why is it still here?"

Yun Shuying:...

So she had picked out a free gift after all that choosing? ===== CHAPTER 474 =====
