Chapter 2369: Chapter 2373: Ye Xiaobei, Bet With Me!
"Alright," Ye Xingbei nodded, "Our dad has a pretty good eye."
"I have a good eye too, but the task is a bit heavy," Gu Junzhu said, "It’s not hard to find talent, but geniuses are hard to come by. I’ve only found two. If I really need to accept six apprentices to have a daughter, I still need to find four more!"
"That’s enough," Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes, "It’s just a dream, don’t drag everything into it."
"Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?" Gu Junzhu said, "You dreamt of six apprentices, and I just happened to meet a promising kid. I think it’s a sign."
"You’re just talking nonsense," Ye Xingbei chuckled, "You want to take apprentices, and do you think the kids will just follow you? Even if they don’t have parents, they might have grandparents or something. At such a young age, kids are especially attached to their homes. They won’t just follow you!"
Gu Junzhu said, "If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang.
He took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered, putting the phone to his ear.
After chatting with the other side for a moment, he ended the call with, "Try to bring him over," and hung up.
Ye Xingbei asked, "Was that the bodyguard following the kid?"
Gu Junzhu nodded, "Yes."
Ye Xingbei asked, "What did he say?"
Gu Junzhu didn’t answer but asked back, "What were we just talking about?... Oh right, we were talking about making a bet! Ye Xiaobei, let’s make a bet! You name it, what are we betting on?"
Ye Xingbei gave him a sideways glance, "Get lost, I’m not stupid!"
Gu Junzhu laughed and rubbed her head, "The bodyguard following the kid said the kid’s name is Qin Junye. Qin from Gu Junzhu, Ye from Ye Xingbei, night of the night. Look at this name, how destined are we? Obviously, this is the apprentice that God prepared for me!"
Ye Xingbei: "...You are really, really, really narcissistic!"
Gu Junzhu laughed, "Ye Xiaobei, make a bet with me!"
Ye Xingbei: "...Get lost!... Is this child an orphan?"
Actually, she already knew without asking. The kid must be an orphan.
Otherwise, Gu Junzhu wouldn’t be so persistent in wanting to make a bet with her.
"Of course, when have I ever guessed wrong?" Gu Junzhu said, "This kid was picked up by the Senior Master Qin from the roadside. The Senior Master Qin lost his wife early, raised two sons and a daughter, and never remarried. He picked up Qin Junye from the roadside and brought him home to keep him company."
"Before he passed away, he told his two sons, whoever Qin Junye follows in the future, that person will inherit his estate."
"The elder son has two sons and heavy responsibilities, and he felt that the inheritance left by the old master was not enough to raise Qin Junye, so he didn’t agree. The second brother has one son and one daughter and lighter responsibilities, so he agreed."
"After Senior Master Qin died, the second brother’s family raised Qin Junye for half a year. At first, they treated him well, but then it got worse. They didn’t even let the kid have a full meal, and he often went hungry. Recently, the second brother simply kicked the kid out of the house, saying he had eaten up all of the old master’s estate, and told him to scram."
"How can they do this?" Ye Xingbei frowned angrily, "Treating a child like this is too much!"
"Indeed, but the worst part is still ahead," Gu Junzhu said, "The kid had nowhere to go after leaving the Qin Family. He didn’t want to leave, so he told Qin the Second that he has grown up, can work, and can support himself. He just needs a place to stay."
