Capítulo 1744: Chapter 1162: No Pain, No Gain
“Woof woof woof…”
The millionaire Luohan Pine still had the sa bizarre shape. However, the abrupt appearance of barking caught Jiang Chen’s attention as he entered the manor.
Taking a closer look.
A bright white big dog appeared in full view.
Jiang Chen imdiately thought of the dog nad “Dog Egg,” which Martial Saint said had been sent to the town’s police station to be a police dog.
But this one wasn’t Tibetan Mastiff; it seed to be a… Great Pyrenees?
It should still be in its juvenile stage.
Moreover, unlike Dog Egg, which was raised freely, looking at this Great Pyrenees’ fur, it was apparent it was fed fine food.
Back then, Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid of Dog Egg, so he wouldn’t be scared by this “Little White” now, especially since it was wagging its tail at him.
“What are you barking at?”
A lazy voice accompanied the appearance of Jinhai’s second-generation successor.
Jiang Chen was a bit surprised, “Resting today?”
“Isn’t today the weekend?”
Shi Qianxi walked over to the Great Pyrenees and softly said, “Shut up.”
Oh, co on.
That’s a dog.
Not a human.
Yet, strangely enough, the Great Pyrenees seed to understand and actually fell silent, though it still wagged its tail like a fan.
“Do you even get weekends?”
Jiang Chen teased, of course, he knew the date today; after all, he was a hardworking “corporate drone” too.
Those who don’t know what day it is are generally quite happy.
“Is it a Great Pyrenees?”
Shi Qianxi glanced at him, “You sure know your dogs.”
Listening to this.
Why does it sound a bit like an insult?
Jiang Chen wasn’t bothered, looking at the clean Great Pyrenees, “It’s a fierce dog, needs a leash.”
Damn, he’s really law-abiding.
Even if not nad a major taxpayer, the city governnt should at least give him a five-good citizen award.
“It’s not going out; it’s at my ho. Why leash it?”
Jiang Chen was speechless,
Well, yeah.
It’s not a public place, walking your dog in your own ho, why leash it?
Although this “ho” does cover a bit more land.
“Bite him!”
Shi Qianxi suddenly commanded.
“Woof!”
The juvenile Great Pyrenees seed to understand human language, imdiately darting towards Jiang Chen.
Co on.
Is this woman still set in her ways?
Birds of a feather flock together; having been with Martial Saint for long enough, she even picked up his catchphrases.
Though still a juvenile, it’s a fierce dog, its current size already larger than most adult dogs, and its charging presence is quite intimidating.
Since he was visiting, Jiang Chen didn’t bring any bodyguards.
“Xiaoqi, co here.”
A shout rang out.
The charging Great Pyrenees stopped abruptly on the stone flooring, turned around, and ran to Shi Zhenhua’s feet.
“Hehe, it’s just playing with you, won’t bite anyone.”
Xiaoqi?
Shi Qianxi surely wouldn’t na it that.
This patriarch of East Sea, a legendary figure in the business, almost a self-made hero, seed to have softened considerably after retirent.
“You nad it Xiaoqi?”
“Yes, because it was born in July, the sa month as Qian Qian.”
“Dad!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Co in and sit.”
Shi Zhenhua invited him, leading him through Dog Manor.
The table was already set in the courtyard.
The maid was sequentially serving dishes.
It was still early.
Just past five o’clock.
A dinner before dark was more than enough ti.
The bodyguard took Xiaoqi away.
“Drink sothing?”
“Uncle Shi, I’m driving.”
Not pretentious.
Just already ford into a habit.
“What’s the deal? Let Qian Qian drive you.”
Shi Zhenhua didn’t give Jiang Chen a chance to decline, decided himself, and had the maid bring out a bottle of vintage wine from the cellar.
“An old cellar given by a friend, said to be fifty years old, never tried it. Taste sothing new today.”
Fifty years?
This wine is more than twice my age.
“Uncle Shi, I can’t accept such graciousness.”
Jiang Chen smiled, feeling honored.
“You rascal, really slick huh.”
Shi Zhenhua joked, his tone more affectionate than ever.
“Dad, this wine is so much older than him, drinking it will shorten life.”
Sure enough.
People put on masks outside.
Back ho, Shi Qianxi was still the sa Shi Qianxi.
“Jiang supports your Morning Light so much, is this how you thank him?”
Shi Zhenhua admonished.
But in such a setting, deliberately ntioning Morning Light felt a bit subtle.
Crucially, Jiang responded cheerily, “Just doing my small part.”
Not out of humility.
Such a large capitalist.
Ordered one unit.
Indeed, it was just a small part, no doubt about it.
“Then how should I thank you? Offering myself?”
Shi Qianxi, still sharp-tongued, responded lightly, making her dad speechless.
Jiang Chen pretended not to hear.
Back in college, the manor’s forr mistress once ca with a bank card to “break up your lovebirds,” so jokes in this environnt were completely harmless.
“Uncle Shi, let .”
Jiang Chen took it upon himself to ease the awkwardness, getting up to pour wine.
“Pour so too.”
Shi Qianxi handed over a cup.
Drinking wasn’t a big deal to her, especially given her position, socializing outside was inevitable.
“Alright.”
But who knew this guy actually planned to fill her cup full, even if it was just a cup of two ounces.
Sunset Courtyard.
Exquisite trees and odd rocks.
The scent of wine and dishes.
The maid stood not far away.
Further out were the bodyguards.
“Thanks for the hospitality, Uncle Shi.”
Jiang Chen raised his glass first.
“Hey, feeling distant, I always said you could treat this like your own ho.”
“You folks could drink up.”
While they spoke, Shi Qianxi had already sipped so.
The two n exchanged a smile, then drank,
“Try the food.”
Shi Zhenhua picked up his chopsticks, “Here’s the most special hot dry noodles from your area, I had the chef make it specially, don’t know if it’s authentic to your place.”
