Chapter 1368 - 1367: Blind Date
Zhang Family's good stuff, huh?Tang Rao didn't even think about how to ask for it, but the old man offered it himself. This transaction can be done.
"Old man, how could I accept it? Tai Chi Boxing is just something passed down in the Tang Family. At your level, you might think it's not worth much."
He wanted to get the unpleasant part out first. If the old man learned Tai Chi and thought it wasn't worth the price, the so-called treasure from the Zhang Family, Tang Rao would not return it.
"It's okay. I'm old, spent my life gambling, and after so many bets, what's one more? It's just that this time the stakes are higher than ever."
Higher stakes?
What does the old man want to bet with Tang Rao?
Big items? Natural treasures? Divine Artifact?
Or the Purple Crystal?
No matter what, Tang Rao liked it all.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, old man."
Seeing Tang Rao happily agree, the old man obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
The heavy stone pressing on him moved away, and he instantly felt decades, even a hundred years younger.
"Tang Rao, Zhang Wang calls me grandpa. From now on, you should call me grandpa too. No rush to learn Tai Chi; let grandpa show you the things I'm going to give you. Do you like it?"
Skipping Tai Chi for now and directly showing Tang Rao the mysterious item made Tang Rao very interested.
After all, the old man was very confident in his bet, which went beyond Tang Rao's expectations. If Tang Rao were disappointed, it would be quite embarrassing for the old man.
"I'm also curious, what is it that makes grandpa so confident as to make it my bet? Grandpa, please don't give me too precious a gift; I can't afford it."
The old man just smiled without speaking.
You'll see what I've prepared for you in a moment, young man.
But before seeing the treasure, this big secret must not be revealed to Tang Rao.
"Old man, could you give me a hint? Like, what exactly did you bet? The more you don't say, the more curious I get."
From initial surprise to later anxiety, it actually didn't take much time.
The Zhang household isn't tiny, yet not too large; if the old man truly wanted to give Tang Rao a treasure, he wouldn't bring Tang Rao to a place full of flowers.
Not to brag, but only women would live in such a cutesy place.
Women?
A sudden inspiration gave Tang Rao a jolt.
"We're here."
Tang Rao tried to slip away, but before he could move, the old man already noticed.
"Old man, no, grandpa, I have a stomach ache and need to go to the bathroom. How about I come over after I've taken care of it?"
Even the clumsiest excuse was said by Tang Rao without a stutter.
Did Tang Rao think he was the only one who knew it was a lie?
No, the old man had seen it all. What could he not know?
"If you go now, I won't see you again. Have a look at grandpa's bet first; it won't take long."
What does 'won't take long' mean? It could mean a lifelong connection or a lifetime regret.
Too much at stake; can't afford to bet it all.
"No, I can't hold it anymore. If I keep resisting, it'll be a disaster scene. Grandpa, you don't want me polluting the environment, do you?"
No, if that's what Tang Rao thinks, he's gravely mistaken. Even if he pooped here, the old man would still face it with a smile.
As long as Tang Rao doesn't run, everything can be negotiated.
"Grandpa, who's here? Why is it so noisy outside?"
Just as Tang Rao considered a bowel escape, a soft, sweet voice reached his ears.
"Granddaughter, this is the boy I want to introduce you to. See if he meets your expectations?"
Huh?
Tang Rao guessed right; the old man really was matchmaking for him.
"Didn't I ask grandpa not to go to such lengths? When my fate arrives, it will naturally appear. Forced relationships don't last long."
Every word from the soft-voiced girl made so much sense that Tang Rao wanted to applaud.
He looked up at the girl, wanting to say they were thinking exactly the same thing, but just because he looked up, Tang Rao wanted to slap himself.
Tang Rao, why were you so curious to look? What's so special about looking, and why now?
He would ponder this for a long, long time after meeting the soft-spoken girl.
"Girl, you're not right. Fate needs to be pursued actively. Heaven has already set the scene for you. When a man appears before you, that's fate. No matter the future, at least cherish the present moment. Do you agree?"
Hmm?
The old man knew what Tang Rao was thinking, but he didn't expect Tang Rao to be so shameless that just one look at his granddaughter made him change his mind.
"Tang Rao, weren't you going to poop? How about you go first?"
The old man deliberately said this to annoy Tang Rao, to give him a way out, but Tang Rao shook his head like a rattle: "I had a stomach upset earlier, took an Elixir Pill, and now I'm all better. Grandpa, you haven't introduced this lovely girl to me yet."
Lovely girl?
There was nothing wrong with Tang Rao asking that. From her looks, she was indeed beautiful—classic oval face, willow eyebrows, cherry lips, her eyes seemed to speak. Looking at her figure, not an ounce of extra flesh on her. Forgive Tang Rao for fixing his gaze on her chest, but he couldn't tear his eyes away.
Such large assets coupled with a baby face.
A baby face and voluptuous figure with a soft voice—any man not thinking of pursuing such perfection must be abnormal, no, extremely abnormal.
"Zhang Kexin, this is Tang Rao, whom I've mentioned before. Tang Rao, this is my granddaughter Zhang Kexin. You two should get acquainted."
The old man personally played the matchmaker, got them to the doorstep, and apart from giving Tang Rao another glance, it's unrealistic to expect love at first sight, but just to give the old man enough face, she refrained from returning to her room immediately.
"Old man, this wouldn't happen to be the bet you mentioned, would it?"
If that were the case, Tang Rao wouldn't mind having several more bets like this.
"Right, my granddaughter is a perfect match, able to handle everything from kitchen to living room, the ideal future wife and mother. I believe with Kexin's qualifications, she suits you perfectly."
Yes, yes, everything you say is right, old man, I also feel she suits me well.
But from where did this granddaughter of yours come from? Can you give me an explanation?
"Grandpa, didn't Zhang Wang say he's the only child in the family? How does he suddenly have a sister?"
Only child, poised to inherit the Zhang Family legacy, were words spoken by Zhang Wang himself to Tang Rao. Surely Tang Rao wasn't mishearing things at the time, right?
