Chapter 1382 It Is a Pigeon Egg, Right?

Qiao Nan touched San Bao’s face. Why was she having a hunch that she had found her three children an extremely capable master grandpa?Seeing the stupefied expression on his disciple, Lin Yuankang secretly felt very complacent. “Alright, the triplets are still very young. They don’t know how to keep these things. Perhaps they may casually throw them away and we won’t be able to find them thereafter. You’re their mother. Take care of these items on their behalf first. You can return to them after they grow up.” After finishing his words, Lin Yuankang pushed the pile of cabbage-like diamond accessories to Qiao Nan.

Until now, Lin Yuankang still remembered the serious demeanor of his little disciple when she told him that she would support him financially in his old age.

Snort! Snort!

With the money in his pocket, it was the other way round. He could support his little disciple in her old age!

Qiao Nan’s face contorted. She felt terrible. “Master…” She really did not wish to accept her set of gifts. Judging from the crystal-clear look of these diamonds, they must be extremely costly. She dared not even think of the total value of the entire set. It if was possible, Qiao Nan did not even wish to accept the gifts for the triplets.

“If you know that I am your master, you have to listen to me.” Lin Yuankang’s tone became strict and serious. “It is not good to decline the request from an elder. Have you heard of this saying? You have to remember that I am always your master. I will always support you. You just have to move forward daringly, relax, and do what you want to do.”

Old Master Zhai carried Er Bao onto his thighs and sneered. “Does my granddaughter-in-law need you to support her or give her backing and assurance in whatever she does? Do you treat our Zhai family as dead?” Clearly, Lin Yuankang was not telling these to his granddaughter-in-law but the Zhai family.

Lin Yuankang gave him a sideways glance. “Will one shun having enough assurance? The more backing, the merrier. Also, if the Zhai family is so capable, shouldn’t you give your grandson some backing first? If not for my help, these three pitiful little grand-disciples of mine would have so little time with their father.”

Lin Yuankang had neither son nor daughter in this life. Hence, he also did not have any grandchild.

However, he did not hope that his three favorite grand-disciples would see so little of their father during their childhood. It was as if they did not have a father.

At this point, it was inevitable that Lin Yuankang was a little picky. He felt that Zhai Sheng was a stinky soldier who was not compatible with his little disciple. It was so easy for his little disciple to suffer because of him.

Fortunately, Old Master Zhai had mellowed over the years. If Old Master Zhai was still young when Elder Lin said these, given his explosive temper, he would have dragged Elder Lin outside for a duel. “What do you know? You only need to talk. But the things in the army… When you make one move, it can cause a domino effect. It’s not so simple. As a soldier, one has to put the country’s and citizens’ interests before his own. We can only put personal petty favors and grudges aside. You know nothing about all these principles!”

The one who bore the surname Lin only needed to have catfights with foreigners. If the other party was polite, he would be as well. Otherwise, he would strip the other party naked, not leaving any face.

However, how could one be so direct in the army? One should not harm the nation’s interest because of personal conflict. One had to know that the borders of China had not been very peaceful. Those countries were itching to stir up troubles.

On this point, the only thing that Old Master Zhai was satisfied with Peng Yu was that the latter still had some character of a soldier. He did not bow his head in front of these overarching principles.

“After speaking for so long, you’re just smoking others with your altruistic theories but you can’t do anything.” Lin Yuankang could not be bothered to continue chatting with Old Master Zhai, this boorish fellow. Did he really think that it was so easy to handle the matters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was considered burning the brains then.

At the sight of these two heavy-weight old masters fuming, Qiao Nan nudged San Bao’s buttocks to hint at her to appease Lin Yuankang. One’s attention could be easily diverted due to a child’s coaxing. Actually, an elder was very similar to a child. It was very easy to coax them.

True enough, as soon as San Bao acted adorably, Lin Yuankang smiled so happily that he could not be bothered about Old Master Zhai, this ignorant man.

As for Old Master Zhai, after Da Bao and Er Bao struggled to the floor, they faced Old Master Zhai and showed their kicks and punches, cajoling Old Master Zhai until he was grinning from ear to ear. “Yes, yes, yes. Da Bao and Er Bao are very good with your boxing.” When the two children were older, he could impart the boxing in the army to Da Bao and Er Bao.

At the thought that he could bring these two great-grandchildren to practice boxing in the morning in front of his old comrades and make them feel extremely envious, Old Master Zhai was smiling like an old chrysanthemum flower. He had also cast Lin Yuankang aside.

When the two old masters were smiling, one-by-one, the younger ones heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Zhai Yaohui was already the chief and Old Master Zhai and Lin Yuankang were retired, one was his biological father whereas the other was a senior whom he respected. Zhai Yaohui dared not offend either of them. He also dared not express any displeasure to the two of them.

Thankfully, he had three good grandchildren who could appease these two old masters.

There was some animosity between the two old masters. As the juniors, they were in a very difficult position. It was wrong to side with either of them, and they also had to worry if they would anger them and affect their health. Zhai Yaohui quietly sized up his three little grandchildren. These three babies were really the miraculous fire extinguishers for everyone in the family!

Finally, the fumes between the two masters had been extinguished. Qiao Nan dared not bring up the question of whether to accept these diamonds. One had to know. Wasn’t the fume of gunpowder earlier caused by these things?

Looking at the pile of items that cost an arm and leg, Qiao Nan immediately pulled a long face. “Brother Zhai, should we buy a safe box?” If they were to simply store these in the bank, she was very worried that others would misunderstand the Zhai family for having an illegal income.

Jewelry, lavish clothes, and everything that a woman wished for—Qiao Nan did not lack any of them. She had so many of them that she was dying from worry. “I am scared of keeping these things.” She took out one of the rings. “Brother Zhai, is this as big as a pigeon egg?”

Zhai Sheng reached out his hands and held onto Qiao Nan’s trembling hand. “Do you need to be like this? No matter how costly it is, it is ultimately just a piece of stone. Since Elder Lin gave it to you, it’s yours. You don’t need to feel so burdened. Elder Lin doesn’t lack these things. If you are really worried, I will bring back a safe box tomorrow for you.” Zhai Sheng looked at the size of the diamond. “Pigeon egg? Thereabouts.”

As soon as she received the confirmation, Qiao Nan felt so lost that she wished to cover the ring and hide it.

Damn! This was the legendary pigeon egg. She actually became an owner of it. And it was not given to her by her husband but master! Qiao Nan had a hunch… Why did this matter seem so surreal and unreal?
