Chapter 181: The Richest Person in Northern Liang 5

Jiang Yeqian could not stop the twitching of his lips when he thought about how Lu Yan was already inexplicably regarded as her grandfather. “Why don’t you just volunteer to be his concubine,” he said sourly.
“Look at you, what a profiteer.” Qi Qingyao pursed her lips and said, “With this reputation of mine, this reputation…as someone who has had children out of wedlock, who would even be willing to make me their concubine?”
Jiang Yeqian, “…” She was quite self-aware.
“He is the richest person around here, he can’t possibly be lacking women if he wanted them. As if there aren’t plenty of women with their individual beauty!” Qi Qingyao continued eating as she explained her reasoning to everyone.
Jiang Yeqian honestly just wanted to complain. “But still, to be his granddaughter!”
“What I’m referring to when I say that is similar to his descendants. Or better yet, his distant grandchild(1)!” Qi Qingyao said, full of self-confidence.
“You’re willing to be a distant grandchild of his?” She could even say this so confidently.
Smile palpable, Qi Qingyao said, “There’s no loss in being the grandchild of the richest person. Anyways, he will already be my grandfather the next time I meet him!”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
There was no way Lu Yan would acknowledge her as his grandchild considering his astute personality!
He was just waiting for her to be turned down now. Who knows, maybe Lu Yan’s attendant might even give her a good beating next time.
Beside Qi Qingyao, Si Jin was hanging onto her every word and even began doing some thinking himself. He mused, “I wonder if this rich man would be willing to have more than one grandchild. I want to be his grandchild too.”
Qi Qingyao rejected him without any hesitation, “No, you’re too cute, what if he turns you into his prostitute? You need to know that these rich people are really perverted, they eat you up regardless if you’re a guy or girl!”
Jiang Yeqian, “…” ‘Prostitute? Perverted? Eat you up regardless if you’re a guy or girl? How was she so sure about these things? Could she have heard this while she was hiding under Lu Yan’s bed? Hold on, could this situation have been rampant back in her village?’
Hearing all this, Si Jin gulped and banished the thought. He definitely could not let himself be turned into some prostitute by these men. He still needed to keep his purity for Sister! He was hers.
Qi Qingyao stroked her jaw, her expression deep in thought. “But Little Yan is seriously too handsome.” She licked her lips as if savoring the memory after saying this.
Jiang Yeqian retorted unconsciously, “Is he even as good-looking as me?”
Qi Qingyao turned and glanced at him before looking at the divinely beautiful Si Jin beside her and said slowly.
“Compared to the both of you…”
How should she put this?
After pausing for a moment, she said, “He has a different kind of beauty!”
Having been praised like that, Si Jin smiled extremely sweetly.
Jiang Yeqian’s lips were tight, his face void of expression as he mocked coldly, “Since you like to ride on the coattails of others so much, you should mooch off the Head Grand Secretariat in Capital City. He is a talented person and also well-dressed.”
“Scholars are the most troublesome. I absolutely hate scholars!” Who cared about the Head Grand Secretariat! As if anyone wanted to ride that man’s coattails!
“It’s called being cultured,” Jiang Yeqian corrected her.
Qi Qingyao felt it to be beneath her. “How is he cultured just because he knows a bit of the eight-legged essays (2) and some lines to the four forms of poetry? If he were really intelligent, he would understand astronomy and geography, as well as quantum mechanics. My idols are Einstein and Newton!”
‘Einstein? Newton? Who the heck were these people?’Jiang Yeqian scoffed, “What did scholars even do for you to hate them so much?”
“They didn’t actually do anything to me, and I don’t really hate scholars either. Among all the scholars, I love Li Bai the most! Li Bai is my idol! I’m just not that interested in that Head Secretariat you mentioned! I have no interest in the person you’re talking about.”
