Chapter 931: Something fun

Father Chi was stunned when he heard that Chi Jia brought something for him. He looked at his old friends who were staring at the box that Chi Jia handed to Father Chi with envious expressions. They also had sons and they all worked in the capital but they did not bring anything fun for their old men.

However, Chi Jia always followed the willful third prince and yet he knew how to bring something fun for his father when he was visiting another city. This was really too much! They needed to have a small chat with their sons once they went back home.

Father Chi was quite delighted being in the limelight like this, who did not want their sons to be filial and caring?

But he still snorted and pretentiously said, " So you finally remembered your old father? I thought that you were so busy taking care of your responsibilities that you completely forgot that you have a father." He then looked at the box that Chi Jia was holding in his hands and then asked, " Is this really fun?"

Chi Jia did not show the helplessness that he felt in his heart on his face, he calmly nodded and then stated, " This is indeed a fun game, however, its quite addictive and can cause you to lose even your undergarments so you better play it carefully. If you lose our wealth then I am throwing you out, father."

" Hey, how are you talking to your old man?" Father Chi grumbled but he still solemnly took a look at the cards that Chi Jia had brought with him and then said, " How do I play with this ?"

To him, the cards were just a thick stack of papers and nothing else.

This rascal, he really dared to say that he brought him something good but turns out that he only brought some paper sc.r.a.ps! Father Chi reprimanded his son inwardly in his head but he did not say anything.

However, his friends did not let go of the chance to tease him. There was one of the admirers of his wife when they were young also present and thus when Elder Xiang saw Chi Jia presenting the paper scarps to his father with a respectful look on his face, he could not help but taunt, " Jia Jia, don"t tell me that you were fooled by someone? How could these paper scarps be a good thing?

Are you sure that you were not fooled?"

Other friends of Father Chi also laughed and teased Father Chi making him anxious and angry. This was his son"s gift to him, even if it was a pebble on the side of the street, only he could reprimand his son, since when did it become the right of others to say such harsh things to his son?

Chi Jia also knew that even though Elder Xiang came to their house with the rest of the team members of the ex-imperial guards, he did not get along with his father as his mother chose his father instead of Elder Xiang.

More importantly, Elder Xiang was his elder if he were to say anything to him then Elder Xiang would say that his father did not teach him any manners which was why he did not say anything in response to Elder Xiang"s bait and turned to look at his father before explaining,

" This might look simple but it"s really fun and thrilling to play. There is no need for you to underestimate this game father, once you have played with it. You will understand how good it is."

He then sat down in front of his father and said, " I will teach you how to play this game. Of course for the excitement how about we bet the rare orchid that you have brought from the sub-nation Y? If I lose then I will bring something good for you in exchange."

Father Chi loved his son and he was willing to sacrifice his favourite orchid to make Chi Jia happy. After all, just how many days did they stay with one another? Although he doubted whether or not the stack of paper cards could bring him any joy, he still indulged Chi Jia and then said, " Alright, let"s play a game and see whether or not you are telling the truth."

Chi Jia nodded and then started to play a few rounds with his father. He played a few demo rounds before preparing to play the final round.

The other old men also watched them play silently and then learned the rules of the game easily.

At first Elder Xiang and the rest thought that it was a simple game but the more they watched it the more they found it exciting.

" What? What do you mean by I lost?"

" An Ace? Are you saying it"s the bigger card here than mine?"

"Hah? How did I lose?" Father Chi was stunned as he looked at his son who was smiling at him. Chi Jia did not say anything, he simply remarked," The orchid in the garden is mine. I will come to take it in three days."

Father Chi did not want to lose which was why he said, " No fair! Let"s play another round! I will win it back!"

" It"s fine but you will have to place another bet," Chi Jia calmly replied as he started to neatly shuffle the cards and then arched his brow before saying, " Are you willing?"

" h.e.l.l yeah! Do you think that your father is a pauper?" Master Chi angrily snapped as he started another round.

Chi Xia looked at his excited father and then snickered lightly. Didn"t his father say that this was just a stack of paper sc.r.a.ps? He then turned to look at the rest of the old men who were sitting next to his father and t.i.ttered lightly when he heard them shouting advice at his father.

How fun. Looks like he would be winning a bunch of things.
