Chapter 1404: Chapter 1384: The One Who Gave the Warning Was Actually Luo Xinyue

"Why was Grandpa saying those things today?" After leaving Old Master Luo’s courtyard, Luo Shufan looked at Luo Qianqian with confusion, unable to understand.

Luo Qianqian shrugged: "He’s saying it for us to hear, afraid we might bully others." She rolled her eyes.

Clearly, Old Master Luo was worried that after he’s gone, the uncles might split from them.

But obviously, that’s unlikely. The old man is just overthinking things.

Not to mention that all affairs of the Nine Heavens Pavilion are in Luo Shufan’s hands, and it thrives also because of Luo Qianqian’s presence. More importantly, Luo Qianqian is practically the Little Princess of the entire Luo Family. How could such things happen?

"I don’t think so... Perhaps he’s worried because of the Huangfu Brothers?" Luo Shufan sighed: "Grandpa cares about you a lot. Aren’t you worried he’ll be sad if you badmouth him?"

"Hmph, Grandpa said I’m not a woman anymore, that I’ve become a gender-bender. I’m angry." Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue, clearly unconcerned, knowing well the doting affection the old man showed was no pretense.

Especially after Luo Xinyue returned, the way he looked at Luo Qianqian was filled with even more tenderness.

Clearly, this was for her that he was troubling Luo Xinyue, but even more clear is that Luo Xinyue enjoyed this despite the trouble.

After so long without seeing each other, even if it’s troublesome, it’s still good to him.

As for He Wenyu? He went home early. After not returning for so long, he surely missed his home a lot.

An Hao suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Sister, Brother."

"How come you’re here?" Luo Qianqian picked him up, her face full of affection: "Is Mom feeling better?"

"Mom went home and cried, then slept, and was fine by the evening." An Hao, with his head drooped, looked contemplative: "But Dad said he wanted to come up the mountain to train with the uncles and brothers."

"Hmm, okay, then how about you take your dad up the mountain with you next time?"

Just as Luo Qianqian finished speaking, she saw An Hao’s teary big eyes, clearly filled with accusation and grievance, and she was at a loss. What did she do to make the child cry?

Luo Shufan pondered for a moment: "Why don’t we bring Mom along too?" Though Mom might not want to.

An Hao’s tears fell instantly, leaving the siblings at a loss.

What was wrong?

"Is it because you think I’m too troublesome, because I hit someone, you don’t want to take me?" An Hao’s watery big eyes were full of grievances.

Luo Qianqian burst into laughter, realizing it was about this matter: "How about having your cousin take you then?"

An Hao, like an actor, wiped away his tears, and his face was filled with radiant smiles, showing no sign of grievance.

Luo Qianqian suddenly felt like she was being played by this mischievous kid.

"By the way, Sister Xiao Yu said she would come to see you in the afternoon. Your godmother is busy at home making braised pig’s trotters." An Hao then mentioned the important thing.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkled immediately. Pig’s trotters made by Fragrance Comes were her favorite!

She tossed An Hao to Luo Shufan before leisurely returning to Grandpa’s courtyard. Sure enough, Grandpa was sitting there, clearly waiting for her, so she reluctantly went over and sat down.

"Grandpa."

"Hmm." Old Master Luo nodded with satisfaction at Luo Qianqian’s obedient little face. This granddaughter has always been their pride, with good grades and skills.

"Grandpa, you talked about those things today because you were worried about the uncles..."

"No." Old Master Luo calmly shook his head, smiling at Luo Qianqian: "They all know what’s yours is yours and won’t fight for it. I was warning your dad. After being away for so long, who knows if he’s after your wealth?"

Compared to a son who had been roaming freely, got married on a whim, divorced unexpectedly, and then ’died’ mysteriously, who hasn’t been seen for over twenty years, he really couldn’t be sure this child was still the Luo Xinyue he knew. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But Luo Qianqian had grown up right under his watchful eye since she was a tiny sprout, knowing how to win his favor, charming people, and giving gifts, pleasing everyone in the Luo family.

Obviously, the granddaughter pulled more at his heartstrings.

Luo Qianqian was deeply moved, never expecting today’s meeting to be to lecture her dad, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Grandpa, actually Dad is also helping me manage the finances over there. Shangqi Club was opened by Dad, and the SQ Group is also his business." Luo Qianqian hurriedly explained for her dad: "Dad really doesn’t care for my small fortune, and moreover, the startup of Nine Heavens Pavilion included materials bought from there..."

Speaking of which, Luo Xinyue should also have shares on this side, just that now things are settled here, she doesn’t plan to interfere, much less her dad.

But if Dad knew Grandpa thought of him this way, he would surely feel upset, right?

"Hmph, that’s what he owes you. Whatever he gives you, take it—it’s your right."

Luo Qianqian watched Grandpa’s expression and burst out laughing, covering her mouth as she crouched in front of him, gently massaging his legs: "Rest assured, besides, Dad’s abilities aren’t inferior to Uncle’s, either."

"I told you... Cough cough..." Old Master’s previous spirited expressions didn’t escape Luo Qianqian’s notice, prompting her to cover her mouth and laugh.

Then she said: "Indeed, my brother and I inherited talents from Dad, and Dad inherited them from you, Grandpa, so don’t let Dad surpass you too far, otherwise what if he bullies me in the future?" Luo Qianqian said earnestly.

Old Master Luo seriously pondered and nodded: "That’s also true. I’ll diligently cultivate from now on." Though he felt he had lived enough, he couldn’t bear seeing his beloved granddaughter being bullied and still wanted to see her get married. If she got bullied, he must intervene...

On the other side, Luo Xinyue clinked glasses with Luo Xiying in the bamboo forest, smiling wryly.

"You noticed, right? My girl has surpassed me in Grandpa’s eyes, me who hasn’t been home for over twenty years. He was just warning me."

A father knows his child well, like father, like son.

How could Luo Xinyue not understand his father’s intentions?

"Who’s to blame for what you’ve done? You deserve it." Luo Xiying retorted bluntly, also feeling more for his little niece than his third brother: "Little Qianqian has suffered so much over the years, yet she never tells us anything."

"That’s because telling you is useless." Luo Xinyue disdainfully retorted: "With your half-baked skills, even less capable than Qianqian’s friends."

Luo Xiying glared, eyes round, tossed the bottle aside, fists aimed at Luo Xinyue’s face.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s not cool off here and get beaten up." An Hao pushed Xiao Tian and Mr. Black Cat, passing in front of the two, leaving them both frozen, at a loss.
