Capítulo 1361: Chapter 17: Parent-Child Fair (Part 1)_3
“Let tell you, don’t worry, the new house I bought is definitely not worse than your neighbor’s.” Shiqi laughed, “Pri location in Cangdu, top-notch environnt, with a family swimming pool and garage. I guarantee you won’t miss your old house after staying for just two nights.”
“We’re used to living in the old house, no rush to move.” Mr. Gongsun gave his son a scrutinizing look, “But Ah Ce, is your new house really that beautiful? Where did you get the money to buy such a nice place?”
“I…” Shiqi started to speak but was silenced by a gesture from his dad. “You’re not allowed to speak. Ah Kai, tell your uncle.”
“You don’t trust just because I’m not your biological son?” Shiqi glared.
Mr. Gongsun nodded, “Exactly, it’s because of your mouth that I don’t trust it.”
Mo Yuankai struggled to hold back his laughter, coughing twice: “Cough! Uncle, rest assured, it’s indeed a legal project collaborated with the Cangdu governnt, using our Superpower as a research sample to develop many practical technological achievents, all of which will be exhibited at the garden fair. As for the house, we actually took a shortcut; ready-made villas are hard to buy, but building one yourself is much easier…”
“I knew it, it’s a self-built country house!” Mrs. Gongsun suddenly realized.
“Mom, I’m amazed you can make a Superpower villa sound so down-to-earth.” Shiqi covered his face, “Alright, alright, we’re here, get out and take a look!”
The distance from the fixed-wing to Thorny Road wasn’t far. In no ti, the elder brother had parked the car in front of Shiqi’s new house. The Gongsun couple was indeed stunned upon getting out of the car. Right in front of them, they saw a courtyard filled with exotic flowers and plants, turning the place into a miniature forest. Four majestic chanical god models stood at the four corners like cyber gate guardians. Together with sculptures and bonsais from friends worldwide, the two-story small building indeed exuded a magical castle aura.
“Wow, this is magnificent!” Mr. Gongsun exclaid in awe.
Shiqi rubbed his nose with pride, but before he could say anything, he heard the next sentence.
“…Why does it look sowhat similar to our neighbor’s new house?”
Shiqi was a bit unhappy: “Co on, Dad. It can’t be that you’re still thinking about your neighbor…”
“Your dad isn’t lying; it really does look alike.” Mrs. Gongsun flipped through photos on her phone, “Look, they’re almost identical!”
Shiqi glanced over and turned pale. In the photo was a two-story building protected by four cyber gate gods, with a mysterious blue creature on the grass looking up at the stars… It’s hard to bla my mom for this, but just that pet alone is eye-catching enough. This brick, this tile, this grass, these gate gods, and that Wawu are undoubtedly his new ho!
But why on earth would this picture appear in the hands of a foreign couple from a small city in the southern Empire? No matter how successful their daughter’s career is, there’s no reason she’d have a shot of his Jihui Bureau house…
“…Gah!”
Shiqi’s face turned from green to black, as if struck by lightning. Just as he was in a daze, the nimble Mrs. Gongsun had already moved behind the small building, discovering one surprise after another: “Hey, look, Ah Ce, this house also has a swimming pool! And this… this foreign pet!”
Mo Yuankai and Shiyu Lianyi exchanged a glance, retreating to one side with alarming vigilance. Qin Qianbai, pinching Shiqi’s waist hard from behind, gestured for an explanation. Shiqi forced a rigid smile, eting his father’s gaze of “I’m curious to see what nonsense you’ll say,” and resolutely began: “Dad, there’s sothing you don’t know about this house of ours…”
“Ce, good morning. Your house is bustling today.”
Just as he was about to speak, a familiar female voice ca, and the silver-haired lady passing by the door delivered the sixth bolt of lightning to the thunderstruck Shiqi. He suddenly rembered his foolproof plan, in which Alandia was supposed to naturally pass by and greet them as “the new neighbor and work partner” upon arriving at the residence…
But now is not the ti to co! Alandia, back off, retreat first!
In that instant, Shiqi’s eyes conveyed countless complex ssages, confident that with a single look, his kindred-spirited lover would instantly understand the situation. But at the sa ti, Father Gongsun and Gongsun Tu demonstrated why age cos with wisdom, taking a step forward to discreetly block that certain soone’s gaze, warmly smiling at the silver-haired lady at the door: “Hello, I’m Gongsun Tu, Shiqi’s father. May I ask if you’re my son’s friend?”
Alandia naturally shook hands with him: “Nice to et you. I’m Alandia Helison, a work partner with Ce.”
“Oh~~” Mr. Gongsun sighed aningfully, “You’re very polite. He must’ve caused you quite so trouble at work, hasn’t he?”
“Not at all, in fact, Ce has helped quite a bit…”
Following her script, Alandia continued, while Shiqi was engulfed in despair, and Qin Qianbai wordlessly shook his head as if he had expected this. At this mont, Mrs. Gongsun strolled over with Wawu in tow, pausing in surprise at overhearing the conversation.
“Ah Ce, look, this is quite the coincidence.” Mrs. Gongsun said thoughtfully, “Our neighbor’s last na is Helison too!”
