Ji Shicheng's heart continued to sink, and he could see that Grandpa Qin now disliked Qin Mian. He slapped Qin Mian's back with his tail, hoping to divert Qin Mian's attention a little.
Qin Mian pursed his lips. He held the box containing the paintings in his hand and held Ji Shicheng on his shoulder as he walked towards Mr. Qin step by step.
Before Qin Mian could reach him, Mr. Qin slammed his crutch to the ground.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and Mr. Qin pointed at Qin Mian and cursed angrily: "Prodigal son! If you don't think about how to do business, just imitate those dandy cats and dogs! The little money you have in your hand is enough to ruin you for several days. ?”
Mr. Qin really didn't save any face for Qin Mian. People around him began to whisper and point at Qin Mian.
Qin Mian lowered his head and stopped. At this moment, he was like an isolated island surrounded by sea water, looking out of place here.
The smile on Qin Zheng's face did not change, and he did not become proud because of his grandfather's reprimand to Qin Mian.
He acted like a good grandson, patted Mr. Qin's back gently and comforted him: "Grandpa, calm down, maybe brother just wants to relax, and he will cheer up after he adjusts."
After Mr. Qin calmed down, he added, "I heard that my brother is building a factory recently. He said he wanted to study the production of cat food and invested a lot of money in it."
In Ji Shicheng's mind, Guangqiu suggested: "How about Qin Mian telling Grandpa Qin that Qin Zheng sent him money?"
Ji Shicheng said: "Qin Mian shouldn't be able to speak."
After listening to Qin Zheng's words, Mr. Qin's anger that had just subsided emerged again.
He hit the ground with his crutches hard, pointed at Ji Shicheng on Qin Mian's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and let him get off! How does it look like riding on your shoulder!"
The tense atmosphere affected the light ball, and its voice unconsciously became smaller: "Mr. Qin doesn't seem to like you."
Ji Shicheng didn't say anything after hearing this. He squatted on Qin Mian's shoulder and didn't move. He didn't jump off just because Grandpa Qin didn't like it.
Qin Mian needs him very much now. He will not go down unless Qin Mian wants him to go down.
Ji Shicheng didn't know how Qin Mian and Grandpa Qin got along in the past, but Qin Mian was raised by Grandpa Qin, so the relationship between them must be very close.
But these were all taken away by a certain robber.
Now when Grandpa Qin looks at Qin Mian, there is no warmth in his eyes, but only scrutiny and judgment. It is not like treating a grandson who has been raised for many years, but like a parasite attached to the Qin family.
Qin Mian didn't catch the bus in time for the season, and didn't say anything. He didn't move from where he was, not even raising his head.
This silent protest angered Mr. Qin. He pointed at Qin Mian and said to the people behind him: "Old Sheng! Drive him out! He is not allowed to appear in front of me in the future!"
The corners of Qin Zheng's mouth suddenly rose, and the sound of the Almighty Star's money kept ringing in his mind. It was really hard not to be unhappy.
He reached out and patted Mr. Qin's back and comforted him softly: "Grandpa, don't be angry. At least see what gift your brother has given you. He must have been preparing it for a long time."
Qin Zheng's eyes fell on the painting box in Qin Mian's hand: "Right, brother?"
He checked Qin Mian's recent consumption records and found that he spent a lot of money on jewelry, but he wore it on the cat, so what was in the painting box was definitely not a treasure.
After seeing Qin Mian's paintings and taking out the gifts he carefully prepared, what would grandpa think?
Mr. Qin frowned, as if he was not interested in what gifts Qin Mian had prepared. After Qin Zheng's repeated persuasion, he finally nodded: "Bring it over."
Before Qin Mian could step forward, Qin Zheng came over. He grabbed the painting box and tried to snatch it away, but Qin Mian did not let go.
Qin Zheng raised his lips: "Brother's cat has a bad temper, so let me give it to grandpa to prevent your cat from hurting grandpa."
After saying that, Qin Zheng grabbed the box with force and opened it while walking back.
In Ji Shicheng's mind, Guangqiu suddenly said: "It would be great if my proposal could be approved immediately."
The picture of pine and crane was shaken open, and Qin Zheng found the signature.
People around him also stretched their heads to see what kind of painting Qin Mian had given Mr. Qin, and some even took out their mobile phones.
Qin Zheng brought the painting in front of Mr. Qin, and his voice was full of surprise: "It was actually painted by my brother. He is thoughtful, unlike me who only knows how to spend money."
After listening to Qin Zheng's words, Mr. Qin's expression softened slightly. He squinted at the picture of pine and crane, and his eyes fell on the colorful cat paw prints.
Seeing that Mr. Qin was looking at the painting seriously, Qin Zheng immediately suggested: "Grandpa, why don't you let me go back to work in the company? My brother has been opening a factory and cleaning jewelry stores recently, so he definitely doesn't have much money in hand."
He didn't really want Qin Mian to join the company, he just wanted to divert his grandfather's attention and bring out Qin Mian's jewelry shopping incident naturally.
Before entering the door, he had already told his grandfather about Qin Mian's recent behavior. Now that you mention it like this, coupled with Qin Mian's own paintings, what would grandpa think?
When Qin Mian gave him a hand-painted painting, was it because of filial piety or because he had no money?
Mr. Qin disappointed Qin Zheng. He seemed not to understand the meaning of Qin Zheng's words. Instead, he began to think about the possibility of letting Qin Mian enter the Qin family again.
Although he didn't like Qin Mian, he would not let the Qin family bloodline live in decadence outside.
Seeing Mr. Qin deep in thought, Qin Zheng lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. This was what he disliked most about his grandfather.
He has obviously deprived grandpa of his feelings for Qin Mian, and optimized this feeling for himself. As a result, grandpa will still think about Qin Mian whenever he has the opportunity.
Sometimes he even couldn't help but wonder, had he really succeeded in depriving him?
Qin Zheng changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, since you have already seen my brother's gift, let's look at mine too."
As he said that, Qin Zheng winked at the assistant next to him and finally drove Qin Mian out of the group. He couldn't let him come back no matter what.
Soon the service staff came out from behind carrying or holding various items. If anyone present has been to that auction, they will definitely find that these items look familiar. They are all items that Qin Zheng took photos of that day. .
One by one, they were delivered to Mr. Qin. The guests were stunned, and many people began to whisper.
"Did Young Master Qin buy these at the auction?"
"It's definitely true. Look at that blue and white porcelain. I wanted to take a picture of it at the time!"
"Hey! It turns out they were all taken to celebrate Mr. Qin's birthday. I'm so willing to give up something worth hundreds of millions!"
"The second young master of the Qin family is so generous. In comparison... tsk tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Mr. Qin handed over the family business to the second young master."
"Haha, for your birthday, one will give you a hand-drawn painting, and the other will give you something worth hundreds of millions. Which one will you choose?"
"I thought Mr. Qin was going to bring Young Master Qin back."
"How can it be!"
The voices of the guests were small and loud, just enough for several people in the Qin family to hear.
Qin Mian lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Qin Zheng looked directly at Qin Mian, waiting for the sound of the Almighty Star's payment notification sound.
The guests were full of admiration, but Mr. Qin was not too surprised. He didn't seem to like this thing very much, but it didn't disgrace Qin Zheng.
He whispered to Qin Zheng: "I'll take away these rags from you later. If you dare to imitate Qin Mian's prodigal behavior, I'll kick you out too!"
The expression on Qin Zheng's face did not change. He smiled and said: How can buying a gift for grandpa be considered a waste? I also bought a small island for Grandpa and I'm going through the formalities so that you don't have to compete with Grandpa Zhang and the others for a place to fish. "
Mr. Qin snorted, and the corners of his mouth finally began to rise. He said disgustedly: "I don't want it! If you have the spare money, please donate to the mountainous areas!"
He just loves to compete with Lao Zhang and the others for space.
"Okay, I listen to grandpa. We have been standing here for a while. Grandpa, are you tired? Come on, let's go inside." With that said, Qin Zheng held Old Qin's arm again.
Qin Zheng helped Grandpa Qin pass by Qin Mian, and his shoulder bumped into Qin Mian's.
Qin Mian was staggered by the impact. Qin Zheng curled his lips. Mr. Qin didn't pay attention to Qin Mian. His eyes stayed on Ji Shicheng for a moment.
In Ji Shicheng's mind, Guangqiu's voice was a little heavy: "The development just now is similar to the original plot. The villain should have suffered a big blow. You can tease him later and divert his attention."
In the original plot, the gifts Qin Zheng gave to Grandpa Qin were also items sold at the auction, but not as many as now.
When Qin Mian was deeply hit, he announced the news of his engagement to Mu Tiantian. Amidst everyone's blessings, Qin Mian left the banquet hall dejectedly.
This is the penultimate time Qin Mian appears in the original plot, and the last time was when Qin Mian died.
Ji Shicheng said coldly: "I will pay it back. Everything Qin Zheng took from Qin Mian, I will let him pay it back."
The ball of light asked: "Do you have any idea?"
Ji Shicheng didn't answer because Qin Mian's cell phone rang suddenly. Qin Mian seemed to be still in a trance. The phone rang several times without answering it. Ji Shicheng had to pat Qin Mian's face with his paw.
Qin Mian finally came to his senses. He took out his mobile phone and the caller ID showed Peach Blossom Eyes.
The phone was connected, and a peach-eyed voice came from inside, with excitement: "Boss, we are here, and the sacks are ready. When should we start?"
Qin Mian immediately frowned, and Ji Shicheng quickly patted Qin Mian's face again. It was he who contacted Taohuayan and the others, Qin Mian, don't hang up the phone!
Qin Mian looked at Ji Shicheng. After looking at Ji Shicheng for two seconds, he turned and looked at the phone again. He directly called up the application he had just used, which was SMS.
Qin Mian's eyelids jumped when she saw the content of the text message.
Growing flowers: Are you interested in stealing a dog?
QW (peach blossom eyes):? ? ? ?
Grow flowers: Bring someone with you to Ming X Hotel, No. 133, Qin X Street. The surrounding surveillance cameras are blacked out.
QW (peach blossom eyes): OK!
Growing flowers: Remember to bring a sack.
QW (Peach Blossom Eyes):……
QW (Peach Blossom Eyes): Okay, but! Is it really you who is the boss? Has your phone been stolen?
