Chapter 793: Chapter 796: New Year’s Visit

”This is what you bought for my grandfather?”

When Murong Fei opened the trunk of Qin Tian’s car and saw it was already packed with quite a few items, she smiled at the corner of her mouth.

She still remembered that Qin Tian had said he was going to prepare a generous gift for grandfather, this...

Murong Fei scanned the items quickly, seemingly, they were all luxury supplements, the prices were high, but they totaled only tens of thousands of Yuan. A generous gift? Was this supposed to be it?

Murong Fei pursed her lips, recalling the day Qin Tian said he would bring a significant gift for Murong Bei and that she needed to play along.

For these supplements, what was there to play along with? Help carry them?

Murong Fei pressed her lips together, not thinking too much of it, after all, Qin Tian was spending New Year’s with her, and he had even bought so many things for Murong Bei out of filial piety. She was already very happy.

With a pleasant mood, Murong Fei helped Qin Tian load the New Year goods into the car, and they went together to the Murong Mansion for lunch.

It was the New Year, and the whole city, the whole of Huaxia, was swept up in a festive mood.

”Sis, Brother Qin Tian, wow, you guys came together!”

At the gate of the Murong Mansion, Su Xuejiao, dressed in a white suit, was so excited to see Qin Tian and Murong Fei getting out of the car at the same time that she almost pounced on them.

”Hurry up and move the stuff.”

Murong Fei instructed Su Xuejiao.

”Oh, sis, I haven’t seen Brother Qin Tian in such a long time, can’t you let Brother Qin Tian chat with me first? Let Aunty Lan help move the stuff!” Su Xuejiao pouted.

Behind them, Aunty Lan came over chuckling, ”Here I come, here I come.”

Aunty Lan had no relatives in Zhonghai City, and everyone in the Murong family treated her like family.

”I’m here too!”

Zhang Sanfeng, the chief housekeeper of the Murong family, also ran out with a chuckle to join in the fun.

”Grandpa Sanfeng, Aunty Lan, it’s New Year’s, and you’re still helping this girl out. Look at her, she’s in university already, yet she still acts so childishly. Don’t help her, I might just have to put her to work as a laborer,” Murong Fei said with a smirk.

”Oh, sis, are you really my sister? You just know how to pick on your sister.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Tian with a giggling smile, ”Brother Qin Tian, don’t listen to my sister, let’s go inside and have a chat first, I have something to tell you.”

”No going inside, help with moving the stuff first.”

Just as Su Xuejiao was pulling Qin Tian towards the house, Murong Fei uttered a sentence that made both Su Xuejiao and Qin Tian freeze.

Especially Qin Tian, with one beauty asking him to go in and another telling him not to, what was he to do? Offending anyone during the New Year’s wasn’t ideal.

”Hmph! Sister, you are so fierce! No wonder your chest is so big...”

Su Xuejiao, who couldn’t argue with Murong Fei, started to complain with a pout.

The moment everyone heard Su Xuejiao’s words, they burst out laughing.

Murong Fei’s face turned slightly red as she glared at Su Xuejiao, ”You little devil, what are they teaching you in university, spouting such filthy stuff. Hurry up and help move the stuff, otherwise, you’ll get nothing to eat at lunch!”

Together, everyone moved the New Year goods inside. After finishing, Qin Tian did not see Murong Bei, and Su Xuejiao said, ”Grandpa is upstairs in the study writing couplets, hehe, it’s his custom every New Year.”

Qin Tian responded and went upstairs to the study with Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao.

In the study, Patriarch Murong Bei was dressed in a bright red, festive outfit. At first glance, one might have thought it was his birthday celebration.

But there he was, holding a calligraphy brush in his right hand, concentrating as he prepared to write.

On the desk in front of him, a pair of couplets already had the first and second lines written, with only the horizontal comment left to be added.

”Another year passes, time slips by rapidly; once again the Three Realms show how fleeting the months and years are.”

Qin Tian read the couplets in front of Murong Bei, his brows furrowed with a smile. But as he read the lines, he felt that Murong Bei’s couplets seemed to lack much joy for the holiday, featuring more reflection and remembrance instead.

However, Qin Tian didn’t think too much of it and said with a laugh, ”Elder, young Qin Tian wishes you a Happy New Year!”

Murong Fei also chimed in with a smile, ”Grandpa, Happy New Year!”

Murong Bei responded, ”You are here.”

But he did not turn around, and the brush he lifted did not fall; it seemed he was concentrating, pondering over what to write for the horizontal comment.

Qin Tian and the two behind him stayed silent, quietly observing the old man. Yet, they all could see that the elder seemed preoccupied with heavy thoughts this New Year’s Day.

”The more you fight, the braver...”

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Tian and the others, Murong Bei wrote down the words ”The More You Fight, The Braver You Get” as the horizontal comment. Qin Tian was taken aback, exchanging a look with Murong Fei.

This couplet, this horizontal comment, it didn’t seem like a celebration of the New Year, but rather a remembrance of departed friends and family—no, it resembled more a tribute to fallen comrades lost in battle!

”My grandpa is always like this every New Year.”

Noticing Qin Tian’s surprised look, Murong Fei gently reminded him in a low voice.

Qin Tian couldn’t help but steal a glance at Murong Bei, feeling even more certain that this elder was a man with stories to tell.

”Heh, every New Year, I like to write couplets. Qin Tian, please forgive my humble pastime, let’s go downstairs.”

Having finished the couplet, Murong Bei, with a smile on his face, walked downstairs with the assistance of Su Xuejiao and Murong Fei.

This elder, despite an injury to his leg, carried an aura and demeanor that could make a complete stranger pay him deep respect.

Qin Tian recalled the first time the elder had taken action to defend against the enemy at Murong Mansion; he had not made a move until necessary, but when he did, it was a powerful revelation that repelled the provocations from the Brother Alliance.

Thinking back on it now, his heart surged with excitement.

The group sat down. Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao went to help in the kitchen, leaving Qin Tian and Murong Bei in the living room to chat over tea.

The elder inquired about Qin Tian’s recent affairs and learned that Qin Tian owned several companies, with his business growing ever larger. He was very pleased, seeming even happier than if Murong Group had made money.

”Last time in Beijing, I heard you stirred up quite a commotion?”

Murong Bei had been aware of Qin Tian’s incident of driving away the Ye Family from Beijing when it happened.

Back then, Murong Fei was extremely worried and naturally told him about it.

Qin Tian nodded, ”It went all right.”

”Ha, modest, aren’t you? You’ve got the Ye Family of Beijing under your foot, and all you say is ’it went all right’?”

Murong Bei smiled, puffing on his cigarette, and said, ”Qin Tian, I know you did that to stand up for the Murong Family. Heh, I thank you for that.”

”Elder, please don’t mention it; I was also doing it for myself.”

”Regardless, it’s all in the past now, so let’s not dwell on it. However, if I had been in Zhonghai City then, I would have definitely tried to stop you.”

Murong Bei’s tone carried the concern of an elder for the younger generation as he seriouly said to Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, Beijing is different from Zhonghai. Zhonghai has many wealthy people. But Beijing, it’s the national economic, cultural, and political center. There’s always someone greater out there, and there’s always a higher sky above. You’re young; there’s no need to fight with those great families in Beijing.”

”Heh, I was full of vigor just like you back in the day. And what did that lead to? Mutual destruction, countless lives lost. Now that I think about it, it’s not that I fear bloodshed. It’s just that this ordinary city, a heart too keen on killing, is not good. Qin Tian, don’t follow the old path I took, okay?”
