Noticing Lin Jiage’s presence, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou greeted “Boss” one after another.
Lin Jiage glanced at the two of them in surprise for a second before questioning, “You two are heading out?”
Xia Shangzhou: “I am accompanying Little Lailai on his shopping trip.”
Lu Benlai: “Boss, I have something to tell you. After all the hardships I have been through, I have finally found an opportunity to get closer to my wife!”
Xia Shangzhou: “It’s wife-to-be, not to mention that it’s one that has yet to be confirmed.”

Xia Shangzhou: “My thickheaded grandson, how can they be the same thing?”
Lu Benlai: “The heck! You unfilial grandson!”
“...”
Lin Jiage had long gotten used to the squabbles between these two. With a raise of his eyebrows, he strutted past the two of them and went to his seat.
Barely a second after he sat down, Xia Shangzhou began on his usual incessant chatter, “Boss, let me share with you what happened yesterday. I was having some cold noodles with Little Lailai off campus when we bumped into the girl Little Lailai is interested in. Little Lailai immediately whipped out the love letter he had crafted a month ago but had not been able to muster the courage to give out, and finally handed it to her. Try guessing what happened next!”
Lu Benlai: “Shut your mouth, grandson!”
Xia Shangzhou conveniently ignored the protests from Lu Benlai and continued gleefully, “That girl did not even bother throwing Little Lailai a glimpse and gave him a straight-off rejection. But our Little Lailai still shamelessly insisted on handing the letter to her…”

Lu Benlai: “How is that shameless? That should be called determination instead!”
“... In the end, that girl got so annoyed by Little Lailai that she accepted it. You don’t know how happy it made Little Lailai! But within the next second, the girl tossed the letter into a nearby rubbish bin! Our disappointed Little Lailai went up to her and asked why she had thrown the letter away without reading it. The girl remarked coldly that since the letter was given to her, she had the liberty to do whatever she wanted with it. Immediately after, she placed her chopsticks down, footed the bill, and left. You should have seen that stiffened face of Little Lailai then!”
Without any sense of empathy, Xia Shangzhou roared in thunderous laughter.
Lu Benlai: “What are you laughing at? Is it that funny to you?”
Xia Shangzhou: “Of course! I got to see my grandson embarrassing himself. That in itself is worth a laugh! Hahahaha!?What can you do about it? You can’t defeat me. I am just that powerful?1?…”

“Boss! I am not finished yet! Do you know why Little Lailai is going shopping now? It’s because he caught wind of the news that the girl will be attending the French elective class tomorrow. He made the instantaneous decision to attend it as well, saying that this will help to strengthen their bond. She didn’t even want to spare a glimpse at his love letter and he still wants to attend the class together with her. Strengthen their bond… HAHAHAHAHA…”
Even after Xia Shangzhou recovered from his laughter, his sharp jabs didn’t cease, “... Little Lailai, pardon my frankness, but have you paid off your loans yet? Are you sure you can afford the clothes to impress your goddess?”
Lu Benlai confidently replied, “We shouldn’t allow ourselves to be bogged down by material concerns.”
After saying those words, he turned to Lin Jiage and asked, “Boss, do you want to join us on our shopping trip?”
Without a second thought, Lin Jiage replied, “No.”
At the same time, Xia Shangzhou chipped in, “Boss, Little Junior will also be attending the class.”
Lin Jiage decisively changed his stance, “Let’s go.”
