Chapter 110: Tell Me Which Trash Can You Are Going to Throw it Out in
“What?” Qiao Zhizhuo immediately stood up from excitement, “Invite him in!”
Those in the older generation who liked Go all admired Master Ye. He was no exception.
He sent an invitation but he never dared to hope Master Ye would show up. But he did!
Everyone at the gathering were also very surprised. Master Ye had always enjoyed living in seclusion and was never interested in social events or others.
Though the Ye family was not considered one of the prominent families in the City of Brisk, Ye Hong’s name was something that had the same weight as the four powerful families combined.
Plus, this old man had an odd attitude and personality. Normally, he paid no attention to anyone.
There were essentially nobody who had the ability to get him to go outside.
But today, he came to Elder Qiao’s birthday...
A lot of the people here today began to calculate in their mind. They all thought that if the Qiao family loses Qiao Ziwen, the family will weaken and decline.
But if the Qiao family is close to Master Ye, then they may just stay connected to the Qiao family.
Everyone longingly watched the entrance.
Before long, an old man with grey hair and glasses walked in holding a cane.
Mu Jinghang covered his mouth, “It’s the real Master Ye! My God! Third bro, though the City of Brisk is pretty behind in time, they sure have all the notable figures. Feng Heng is here. Even Master Ye is here!”
Jun Yexuan ignored him. He looked over to Ye Hong then looked back to Qiao Qing. His eyes revealed some deep thoughts.
Qiao Zhizhuo left his seat and greeted him personally, “Master Ye, please, come have a seat!”
“There’s no need.” Ye Hong declined Qiao Zhizhuo’s warm welcome.
Grudgingly, he shot Qiao Qing a look, then got straight to the point with Qiao Zhizhuo, “I heard your eldest granddaughter gifted you a set of Go? Show it to me.”
Qiao Zhizhuo’s expression froze and avoided this, “The gift the elder granddaughter gave has been taken away. If you want to look, you can take a look at my younger granddaughter’s gift. She also gave me a Go set.”
Just then, Chen Ming held up the box of Go pieces and in an unfriendly tone, he said, “The gift from the miss is right here! Why would you say it was taken away?”
Everyone else laughed behind their palms.
The reason why Elder Qiao said that was because he was afraid to lose face once Master Ye saw the Go set Qiao Qing gave. Everyone knew that.
Yet this man didn’t get the message.
It was true, the maids take after their masters.
As expected, Qiao Zhizhuo’s expression turned even uglier.
Seeing that Ye Hong was now staring at the Go set in Chen Ming’s hands with an anguished expression, Qiao Zhizhuo said forcefully, “This is embarrassing. Sorry for this.”
At this reaction, Ye Hong right away guessed that this old bastard had no ability to pick out the valuable from the useless. So his eyes shone.
He squinted and asked, “So you don’t like it?”
Qiao Zhizhuo grabbed onto his own sleeves and didn’t say anything.
Though it was inappropriate, he found it difficult to lie and say he liked it when he didn’t.
Just as he pondered over what he could do to get away, he heard Ye Hong say, “If you don’t like this, give it to me!”
Qiao Zhizhuo was stunned and peeked at that ugly looking set of Go. Did he hear wrong?
Everyone else found this difficult to understand and began to chitchat.
Mu Jinghang held onto his chin and looked over to Jun Yexuan, “Why does Master Ye want that set of trash? Isn’t he the number one Go master in this country? How is it that he cannot tell the good from the bad?”
Jun Yexuan was too lazy to roll his eyes at him this time.
Ye Hong saw that Qiao Zhizhuo wasn’t talking and he immediately flipped, “It’s obvious based on your attitude that you don’t like it! So why can’t you give it to me? How about this, I know you are going to throw this out anyway – how about you tell me which trash can you are going to throw this out in and I will go pick it back up.”
Everyone at the scene, “...”
Qiao Zhizhuo finally noticed that something was unusual about this. He quickly took the set from Chen Ming and planned on opening it up.
Ye Hong stopped him, “Big brother, didn’t you have your eyes on my Qinglu set? I will exchange with you!”
