355 A White Lie, Grandpa, Don’t Despise It

Kou Zhiyuan shook his head happily and listened to what else Luo Feng could do.

He expected that Luo Feng would not have a chance to remedy the situation. This was because when they started bidding and snatching what others loved, that old opera fan would have been offended.

Even though Kou Zhiyuan did not know the exact identity of the actor-fan uncle, he could tell that he was definitely not ordinary looking at his wealth and strength!

Luo Feng had suffered a double loss this time. This one million yuan was not a small sum. If he spent it so casually, his heart would probably ache for a long time.

At the thought that Luo Feng had lost so much money for nothing, Kou Zhiyuan was even happier than if he had earned a million yuan himself. Kou Zhiyuan held his stomach and laughed until he trembled.

“Mr. Kou, are you alright?” Chairman Xiong saw that he had curled up into a ball and was trembling non-stop. He thought that he had a sudden illness.

“I’m fine.” Kou Zhiyuan sat up straight. There was a joyous expression on his face. “I just suddenly thought of something happy.”

Chairman Xiong could not be bothered to ask him what it was about.

He turned around and patted Luo Feng, indicating for him to see his opponent’s smug face.

Luo Feng only smiled and did not pay much attention to it.

“Boss, why do you want me to investigate this?” Tang Jin held Luo Feng’s phone. The page was filled with information about Teacher Zuo Nian.

Luo Feng hooked his finger and gestured for Tang Jin to come closer.

After the explanation, Tang Jin’s gloomy face immediately lit up with new life.

“Boss, you finally know how to do it!” Tang Jin was overjoyed. She could not help but praise Luo Feng.

“Can you complete it?” Luo Feng asked.

“Trust my acting skills. I’m from our school’s drama club!” Tang Jin hugged her phone as if she was holding a secret weapon. It was not enough for her to watch it alone. She even pulled Xiao Chun to watch it with her.

Xiaochun was completely out of the loop. She did whatever she was told like a puppet.

“Everyone, next is our second auction item…”

The host on stage warmed up the atmosphere again and hurriedly pushed up the second auction item. The first auction item was bought at ten times the price, and the atmosphere at the venue became much more enthusiastic.

Many people were eager to try, holding their number tags tightly in their hands.

Tang Jin leaned closer to Luo Feng and said, “Boss, I’m ready!”

“Come back before the third item is auctioned. The items have already been sent to that entrance,” Luo Feng said. “Hurry up and come back.”

“Please.” Tang Jin pulled Xiao Chun and ran out.

Kou Zhiyuan, who was watching their every move, saw this and quickly said to Ottilia, “Go and see what tricks they’re up to. If necessary, you can cause trouble.”

“…Yes.” Ottilia was unwilling. She had completely become an errand girl.

The three girls ran into the corridor one after another.

There was already a waiter waiting there with an exquisite wooden box.

After Tang Jin revealed his identity, he successfully obtained the wooden box.

“Sister Xiaochun, do you remember what I told you just now?” Tang Jin asked again.

“Of course, but…” Xiaochun was a little suspicious. “Will that work? Why does it feel a little unreliable…”

“I can only make a Hail Mary effort!” Tang Jin was also desperate.

After all, she was also responsible for this matter. She definitely could not cause trouble for Luo Feng!

The two of them waited in the corridor with the box in their arms.

Not long after, the old opera fan appeared at the entrance of the corridor dejectedly with a walking stick. He sighed three times with every step, as if he had lost something important.

“Grandpa.” Tang Jin immediately ran over when he saw him.

The old opera fan did not expect there to be someone in the corridor. He was so frightened that he took a step back and almost lost his balance.

Xiaochun was quick to react and quickly supported the old man.

“Grandpa, are you alright?” Tang Jin asked worriedly.

The old opera fan saw her face clearly and remembered that she was the young lady who had competed with him just now. He said expressionlessly, “Your old bones are still considered sturdy. Please move aside.”

It would be a lie to say that he was not angry.

Young people nowadays did not listen to drama. This golden bracelet was just an ordinary piece of gold to them. To drama fans, it was a personal item that had been with their idol for most of their lives…

The more the old man thought about it, the sadder he became. He shook his head repeatedly and walked around the two of them.

The longer she stood in this sad place, the sadder she became.

“Grandpa, wait. I have something for you.” Tang Jin ran to the old man and opened the wooden box in his hand. The item was lying inside.

In order to preserve its original appearance, the luster in the cracks of the patterns was no longer there. That was a characteristic that the original owner had worn for a long time.

The old man looked at the bracelet and then at Tang Jin. He asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“This is for you,” Tang Jin said sincerely. “I’m young and insensible. I hope you can be magnanimous.”

The old opera fan was even more puzzled.

He bought it at a high price and gave it away? Could it be that he had something to ask of him and was deliberately bidding to use it as a gift?

What kind of joke was this? This thing was not worth a million!

“There’s no need!” The old man, who was a fan of drama, thought of his idol’s bracelet being wrapped in a copper stench and used to please him. He disliked Tang Jin even more.

If he really wanted to give it to me, he shouldn’t have bought it at such a high price back then!

What are you pretending for!

“I’m really sorry!” Tang Jin insisted on stopping the old man. “At first, I just wanted to buy it for my grandmother because she likes Teacher Zuo Nian very much. I’ve always wanted to give her a special gift. I really don’t know how important this bracelet is to you.”

“Hmph, since it’s for your grandmother, then keep it.” The opera fan uncle wavered, but not much. “I’m not muddle-headed. The highest bidder wins the auction. I won’t lose my old face on this.”

“I’m really sorry.” Tang Jin was a little flustered. Why was this old man so stubborn?

“Grandpa, please forgive her.” Xiao Chun helped to persuade him. “Originally, after knowing the truth, we stopped bidding. We didn’t expect someone else to join us. She knows that it’s her fault, so she has to bid for it and return it to you no matter what.”

The old opera fan was a little touched, but as the saying went, the poor would not take given food. There was no reason for him to accept something bought by a stranger for more than a million yuan.

He still refused. “I can’t accept it. Since you said that your grandmother likes it, you should bring it back.”

Tang Jin was the first to cry. She choked and said, “Don’t say that. My grandmother scolded me. She said that I shouldn’t have snatched your things. Since I made a mistake, I should make things right.”

“My grandmother must have understood your reluctance as a fan of Teacher Zuo Nian. That’s why she gave me a fierce dressing down. I just want a chance to make it up to you. Moreover, my grandmother told me the story of Teacher Zuo Nian’s youth. It took her more than ten years to repay her debt because she was young and rash and got into trouble…”

Tang Jin then hummed the scene that Teacher Zuo Nian had sung.

It was a mess because it was last-minute cramming, fair weather atheists turned to God in a pinch, it was a mess. Unless one was a hardcore fan, one would not be able to tell what she was humming.

Even though it was deliberate, it was very useful to the old man who was a fan of drama. He said in surprise, “You actually listened to Teacher Zuo Nian’s drama?”
