CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342: MIAOMIAO VS. OLD SIR JIN

Tuanzi was in a good mood all the way to her uncle’s house.

Not just because she touched a panda, but also because the reputation value was rising so quickly.

According to the system, just the livestreaming of catching the fugitive yesterday alone skyrocketed the reputation value by twenty million, and then there were people continuously explaining to the new viewers which kept the reputation value coming in.

Perhaps due to the accumulation of previous events, this rise in reputation value was even more than the time she sparred with Big Brother, and the two spent the night catching poachers and fugitives.

So far, her reputation value had already exceeded one hundred and fifty million.

The first hundred million reputation value took her more than half a year and quite a few show participations.

The latter fifty million were mostly accumulated in the new show, taking less than a month. The skyrocketing reputation value had both the previous groundwork and the help of Big Brother.

In short, ten billion reputation value is not a dream, and there’s hope for mom and dad to return, plus, with so much reputation value, ten lucky draw chances to exchange for a photo of her parents living in another world, she can even get the system to shower her with pictures.

Of course, a shower of photos is her fantasy. According to the system’s calculations, these pictures aren’t enough to rain down. However, since the host keeps talking about it, it can duplicate the photos multiple times to create a rainy atmosphere.

Tuanzi was thrilled as a result, even if she had to confront her grandpa offline, the mood was good, and she could hum little tunes no one understood. Her sweet voice could seep honey.

Until they left the elevator and arrived at Uncle Jin Jing’s home.

Jin Chunting took out his key, ready to open the door, and the door opened from the inside, revealing an old and stern face.

He was startled.

Typically, at this time, Grandpa should be in the neighboring house reading.

Old Sir Jin glared, his sharp gaze sweeping over his face before quickly moving past him to see Gu Cheng.

He remembered this grandson.

Back then, the kid was only in first grade. He met him unexpectedly at school, said a few words, and the child, while young, logically and articulately argued back, and even comforted Gu Che.

All these years have passed, and the boy indeed grew into a dependable and trustworthy figure, more reliable than his father.

Soon, Old Sir Jin’s gaze lowered, landing on a little girl with a round face and lively eyes.

He tugged at the corner of his lips but didn’t get a chance to speak as the little girl took the initiative.

"Did you know I was coming and intentionally waited at the door?"

Old Sir Jin was so angry he leaned back.

This little girl, so young but already thick-skinned.

"Who cares if you’re coming?"

He just thought this little girl had the same temperament as his daughter, as for wanting to see her, that was impossible.

Just like if his daughter didn’t change her temperament, he wouldn’t recognize her, the same applied to this child.

Certainly, after all this time, he also understood that neither his daughter nor this little girl would likely meet his expectations.

He was stubborn, and so were they.

Still, why did this little girl seem even more difficult than her mother?

Tuanzi crossed her arms, side-eyeing this old but still somewhat spry grandpa.

"Really? Then how come it’s so coincidental that Chunting hasn’t opened the door yet, and you did?"

Old Sir Jin was unknowingly led by the nose.

"I just heard a noise!"

Of course, the real situation was, he knew Jin Chunting was returning today and had come early, prepared to educate his eldest grandson properly.

Earlier, he seemed to be reading in the living room but was actually paying close attention to the movements outside the door, which is why he opened it.

Who knew this little girl would track him from online to offline to provoke him!

Tuanzi wore a face of ’You’re lying.’

She confidently declared, "You knew Miaomiao was coming and intentionally waited!"

Old Sir Jin: "Stop being unnecessarily sentimental!"

Tuanzi turned her head: "Hmph, Miaomiao has spiritual powers, can see through hearts at a glance, you can’t fool Miaomiao!"

Old Sir Jin: (╬￣皿￣)

He could only try to pick a fight in other aspects.

"How old are you to still call yourself Miaomiao, has no one taught you what ’you, me, him’ refer to? Aren’t people around you bothered by it?"

Tuanzi proudly raised her chin, "Big brother, do you mind Miaomiao?"

Gu Cheng cooperatively shook his head.

"No, I find it rather adorable."

Oh, my, honest big brother really knows how to talk!

Besides, the self-reference thing is all because the people around call her ’Miaomiao,’ so she followed suit. The system also reminds her constantly, she’s already in the process of changing, she just needs a little more time!

Jin Chunting helplessly said, "Grandpa, let’s talk inside. Otherwise, we might disturb the neighbors."

This place has one stairwell leading to two apartments, with one building having two elevators and four households per floor.

Old Sir Jin didn’t quite want Gu Miaomiao and the others to come in.

He just hadn’t opened his mouth before Tuanzi softly called toward the house.

"Uncle, are you home? Miaomiao has come to see you!"

She seemed to know what Old Sir Jin was thinking, after calling out, she side-eyed him again, "This is Uncle’s house, Uncle makes the decisions. Miaomiao is here to see Uncle."

And to properly confront this grandpa offline!

As someone who cared greatly about rules, Old Sir Jin couldn’t really stop them.

He could only huff into the living room, telling Jin Jing who walked out, "Hurry up and let them leave, seeing them troubles me."

Jin Jing certainly wouldn’t agree.

In recent years, he had only seen his sister’s two sons a few times, and his niece, who narrowly escaped death, proactively visiting him, he was more than happy to welcome.

After learning his niece had returned, he already wanted to visit. It’s just that the two families had grown distant over the years. He’s felt quite guilty, believing he’s incapable of easing the relationship between his father and sister.

Privately, he felt his sister was not at fault, and thought keeping her away from his father might actually be beneficial.

Having spent years dealing with his stubborn father, Jin Jing also developed ways to handle him.

"Aren’t you eager to finish writing your thesis quickly? While today’s weather is nice, and your legs aren’t hurting, you can glance at it more and write a bit."

Old Sir Jin snorted lightly, picked up his book, walked to the balcony to sit, leaving everyone a back silhouette radiating anger.

Tuanzi, who had already put on her shoes after entering, instantly called out loudly with great experience.

"Some people, they seem to be reading a book but are actually pricking up their ears to eavesdrop!"

[Ancient Martial System: Are you talking about yourself?]

The indeed unabsorbed reader Jin Jin turned back, whiskers lifting in fury, "Who’s eavesdropping? How were you raised to baselessly accuse people?"

Tuanzi revealed a mischievous grin, "But aren’t you responding to Miaomiao now because you heard Miaomiao speaking?"

Old Sir Jin: (╬￣皿￣)

After infuriating the old grandpa, Tuanzi cheerfully bowed to Jin Jing, "Hello Uncle, let me offer a belated New Year’s greeting!"

Jin Jing immediately squinted with a smile, even taking out a red envelope to hand to Tuanzi.

Tuanzi swiftly accepted it, grinning widely!

Hehe, visiting relatives definitely means red envelopes!
