Chapter 249

"Old Xiao, let's drink less. I know you're sad about Mo'er's death, and you feel bad that you haven't made up for him yet, but we're all old, so we need to take care of our health. Besides, the Xiao family still has Yixuan, Yixing, and Yue'er. If you're in poor health, won't they be sad?"

Looking at his comrades and brothers who had been with him since his youth, drinking bitterly while playing chess, Lan Xingkong couldn't stand it and persuaded them.

But this wasn't the first time he had persuaded them, he had persuaded them hundreds of times, but Xiao Jing didn't take it seriously at all, and continued to drink and play chess every time.

"Don't talk about anything else, it's your turn to play chess." Xiao Jing's face turned red from drinking, and he yelled at Lan Xingkong.

"Okay, let's play chess. We need to drink less before we can continue. How can we play if you are drunk?"

...

Just when the two were still playing chess, suddenly a servant of the Xiao family ran over and shouted: "Master! Master Zhao is here!"

"Huh? Master Zhao?" Xiao Jing and Lan Xingkong were both stunned, not understanding why Master Zhao came here.

"Quick, take me out to greet Master Zhao." Xiao Jing said as he was about to get up to receive the guest.

"Hahaha, Xiao brother, you don't have to come out to greet me. I'm already in. You're so polite." At this moment, Zhao Yongan appeared in the courtyard of the Xiao family. His happy smile was in stark contrast to the sadness on Xiao Jing's face.

Lan Xingkong and Xiao Jing immediately stood up and went forward to greet him.

"Brother Zhao, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up and take care of myself. Look at me, I smell like alcohol." Xiao Jing said with a red face from drinking, and did not forget to say to the servant beside him: "Go and ask the kitchen to bring a sumptuous meal, and bring my bottle of white wine."

"If I knew that Brother Zhao was coming, I would not drink so much with this old drunkard, like an old drunkard." Lan Xingkong also laughed.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Lan, I'm not here to eat for free today." Zhao Yongan said with a smile, "I'm here to tell you a good news this time, and I'm going to arrange a marriage for my Shiyao and the Xiao family."

Lan Xingkong and Xiao Jing were both stunned, not understanding what he meant by the second half of his sentence.

Seeing that the two elders were both confused, Zhao Yongan smiled and said: "Let's sit down and talk."

"Yes, Ali, add a chair for Master Zhao." Xiao Jing ordered his men again.

The three old men came to the chessboard and sat down. Since the chessboard was modified by a senior engineer, Xiao Jing pressed a button and the whole chessboard turned over, swallowing the chessboard and chess pieces, turning it into a neat dining table.

The servant brought up the bottle of white wine that Xiao Jing had collected for many years and filled the cups in front of the three old men.

"Brother Zhao, you came at the right time today. Old Xiao's collection of white wine is rarely seen. The last time I drank his white wine was when Yixuan got married." Lan Xingkong looked at the white wine in the cup and smiled.

"Oh? This white wine is so precious?" Zhao Yongan smiled and said, "Then I have to taste it carefully."

"Come, try the fine wine I have collected for many years. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary wine." Xiao Jing said.

As he said that, Xiao Jing raised his glass and clinked a glass with Lan and Zhao Erlao.

"I don't know what Brother Zhao meant by what he said just now. You all know that my grandson has already... Alas... Why did Brother Zhao let Shiyao get engaged to our family?" Xiao Jing asked in confusion.

After asking, Xiao Jing mentioned the death of his grandson, and his mood became bad again. He raised his glass and took a sip.

"Old Xiao, don't drink so quickly," Zhao Yongan said, "Now you are drinking to keep yourself quiet. When I tell you the good news, you will drink to make you happy."

"Brother Zhao, don't keep me in suspense. What good news is it? Tell me so that I can be happy too." Lan Xingkong said.

"Don't tell me, this good news is really worth keeping in suspense." Zhao Yongan said, "Do you remember how Ji died that day?"

"Huh? Brother Zhao, what good news can you think of?" Xiao Jing frowned instantly when he heard about Ji Mo's death. This was the thing that saddened him the most.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, listen to me. What I mean is, did you see with your own eyes that Ji Mo really died?" Zhao Yongan said.

"Brother Zhao means... he is not dead yet?" Lan Xingkong didn't understand what he meant.

"What?" Xiao Jing suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shaking the wine glass. He didn't care how many years this was a vintage wine. The only thing in his mind was that his grandson was not dead.

"Brother Zhao, you said he is not dead, are you serious?" Xiao Jing asked excitedly.

"Brother Xiao, don't be too excited. Let me tell you, he is really not dead." Zhao Yongan laughed.

"He is not dead... By the way, how do you know he is not dead?"

"Hey, Brother Xiao, I said I came to your house to get engaged for Shi Yao. Of course, I came to get engaged after confirming that he is not dead. Otherwise, how can I let my granddaughter be a widow? Hahaha." Zhao Yongan said.

Listening to Zhao Yongan's words, Lan Xingkong knew that Ji Mo must not be dead, and he was instantly happy. After all, Ji Mo often went to the Lan family since he was a child, and he could be said to be a half-grown child.

More importantly, since Ji Mo was not dead, it meant that his granddaughter Lan Shuangning would not have to be sad every day.

However, he was not very happy yet, and he felt very melancholy when he heard the second half of Mr. Zhao's words.

Mr. Zhao wants to betroth Zhao Shiyao, what should I do? Shuang Ning still likes Ji Mo. If Shuang Ning knew that Ji Mo was not dead and was engaged to Zhao Shiyao, I don’t know what would happen.

“He is not dead, so where is he?” Xiao Jing asked anxiously.

“He is in the school,” Zhao Yongan said, “In fact, he suddenly came back half an hour ago. At that time, I was still looking for the missing men, but he told me directly that Shiyao was in danger, and then flew to the school.”

“Ah? How is Shiyao now?”

“It’s okay. The one who wanted to hurt her was Lai Heng from the ancient martial arts family in the south. I went to the school earlier and found that he was very angry. I guess he has been taught a lesson by Ji kid.” Zhao Yongan said.

“That’s good. I thought Shiyao met a very dangerous opponent. Mo’er was so anxious to go.” Xiao Jing was relieved to hear this.

"They are fine now. They are probably getting bored. After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhao Yongan said, "I came here mainly to tell you that Ji Mo is still alive. Secondly, I came to arrange an engagement for the two young people. What do you think, Brother Xiao?"

When Lan Xingkong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. How could this be?

If they were really engaged, wouldn't his granddaughter be heartbroken?

What she did every day, Lan Xingkong always saw it. She was simply living in lonely memories every day.
