Chapter 2175: My Flattery Was All for Nothing

Li Jianqian cleared his throat and without hesitation declared, “Uncle, I do indeed take him on my online raids but I have never used inappropriate language.”

Li Jianlin turned to him contemptuously and responded, “Yeah! You merely kidnap other players so that they’d be massacred by others then you merrily head back to pick up the spoils. I recall other players swearing at you to the high heavens. You’re indeed a lot more vicious than I am.”

Li Jianqian did not deny it. “As you can see, Uncle,” he explained, “he picked up his cusswords from others but is now pushing the blame to me. Isn’t that unfair?”

Li Jianlin was speechless.

“Alright, enough. Eat up!” Qin Shuhua exclaimed with a smile on her face. She ladled out a bowl of soup for Yu Chulin and remarked, “Chu, will you be attending graduate school with Dasu in Kingstown?”

Yu Chulin took the bowl of soup from her respectfully before nodding his head. “Yes, Grandma,” he answered, “Jianqian will be majoring in finance and I’ll be majoring in philosophy.”

“Philosophy?” Li Xiao’s curiosity was piqued. “You’re interested in philosophy?”

Yu Chulin nodded his head and politely elaborated on his decision.

He courteously addressed Li Xiao as Grandpa and Qin Shuhua as Grandma. As a result, they had a great impression of him.

Li Mosen watched the exchange, emotionless. Quietly, he placed some food on Li Jianyue’s plate before saying, “Since you like fresh shrimps, do eat a little more of it.”

“Okay,” Li Jianyue replied as her eyes drifted toward Yu Chulin. Her eyes were shining with admiration and she occasionally contributed to the conversation excitedly.

Li Mosen was a little jealous but none of his actions showed this nor did he behave inappropriately.

Li Moyun stretched out his arms and started to eat earnestly. Just as he was contentedly preoccupied with his food, Li Mosen suddenly stared straight at him.

Li Moyun felt the hair on his arms rise and so he decided to ask, “Brother Mosen, are you staring at me out of envy for my good looks?”

Li Mosen was silent for a moment before speaking solemnly, “I was just wondering if you’d be able to digest the amount of meat you just gobbled down.”

“Of course he’ll be able to,” Li Jianyue replied on his behalf. “His calories will simply accumulate greatly and the same time, it will transform into a subcutaneous layer of fat that will amass into the fatty rolls on his body,” she said sarcastically while showing off her knowledge.

Upon hearing that comment, all the children at the table burst out laughing.

Li Moyun’s face reddened as he muttered, “I didn’t eat that much.”

Despite saying that, he felt terrible and decided to place his chopsticks down to prove his point.

When Qin Shuhua observed that, she too looked upset and patted him in an attempt to comfort him. “Just eat what you want to,” she said, “You’re still young and it’s cute when you are on the plumper side. When you grow up in future, you’ll lose all the weight naturally.”

That was exactly what Qin Shuhua had been telling him all this time.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of him losing any weight at all. Instead, he was beginning to grow horizontally instead of vertically.

Despite that, he couldn’t help but give his grandmother a thumbs-up in reply knowing that she cooked all the delicious delicacies on the table.

Li Xiao glanced at him and said, “Jianlin and Moyun aren’t little kids anymore. Since they’re both always at home, they should start exercising with me.”

“Huh?” Li Jianlin looked up, surprise evident on his face which quickly morphed into one of disappointment.

“What?” Li Moyun was a lot more direct in his reply. He pulled a long face and said, “Grandpa, you can’t abuse us like that, we’re still kids.”

“How is getting you to exercise abusing you?” asked Li Xiao and he couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m already being very kind! You should ask your uncle how their grandfather used to treat them back when they were kids.”

Li Moyun had heard rumors of it before but never really clarified whether they were true or not.

It was a pity that by the time he had grown old enough to understand what was going on around him, Great Grandpa had already passed away and so, he never had the opportunity to witness the grandeur of the patriarch.

Upon hearing Li Xiao’s words, Li Moyun joined in, “Well, I guess it’s just too bad that I have the good fortune of having a grandfather who is kinder than he was.”

That compliment was enough to cause Li Xiao to feel great joy. He burst out in hearty laughter and said, “You rascal! Come, eat a little more. We’ll start exercising after this.”

The initial delight in Li Moyun heart dissipated immediately when he heard that he still has to exercise. With a bitter expression, he lamented, “My flattery was all for nothing.”
