Chapter 76 - Those who had consumed the mystical jade peach would gain eternal life
Siyi took a look and almost started crying.
Miss Gu posted three pictures and the boss already owned two of them. And he has to ask about the third one?
“Miss Gu sold that one already. I mean, she gave it away.”
The term “gave it away” dropped the temperature in the staircase immediately.
Siyi sweated profusely and explained, “…. No, not like a gift. More like a raffle. She raffled it off while she was streaming.”
Huo Sishen lifted his brows again.
“Ugh. I was just about to report that to you. This was when she started her Taobao store and she told me about her streaming channel and that there was raffle and told me that I should visit it often.”
Huo Sishen’s look was still stiff.
Siyi felt goosebumps forming on his body. Suddenly, an idea dawned on him as he blurted out, “How about I install the streaming platform app for you so you can watch her stream?”
After a long while he finally heard a very light, “Mmm.”
The temperature in the staircase went back to normal immediately.
Siyi, “……”
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was mourning over her lamb chop that was getting cold. As she was debating about whether she should reheat it, she received a few new messages.
[MeowMeow has sent you a friend’s request.]
MeowMeow was so impatient that she had sent that multiple times.
Gu Shishi accepted it immediately.
[MeowMeow transferred you $10,000.]
Gu Shishi was a little stunned.
[MeowMeow: I really like kitties. I had a little orange tabby when I was a child but my mom gave it away… your painting was so good that it reminded me of him~]
Gu Shishi hadn’t expected the coincidence, nor did she expect that MeowMeow was so… not strapped for money.
Spending $10,000 just like that. Were all kids that wealthy nowadays?
MeowMeow’s profile picture was a girl with wavy hair down to her shoulders, probably in her twenties.
Her curiosity got the better part of her, and she clicked into MeowMeow’s friend’s circle.
One look and she was enveloped in wealthy aura.
Horseback riding, golfing, skiing, parasailing… all expensive activities.
Never mind the regular posts of a new purse or a new pair of shoes.
She was, indeed, from money…
How come she kept running into all these nouveau riches lately? Was that a side effect from the transmigration?
Even Gu Shishi started to question how unscientific that was.
Quickly, MeowMeow sent her another message.
[Guru, I have another favor to ask. This upcoming Saturday is my grandma’s birthday. Can I ask you to paint me a mythical peach painting as her birthday gift? I am open for discussion on the cost.]
Gu Shishi didn’t expect her next transaction to come so quickly.
Using mythical peaches for birthday wish was, indeed, a hot topic in Chinese ink painting.
As the myth went, “those who had consumed the mystical jade peach would gain eternal life”. Which was why paintings of mythical peaches were the best to use as a gift to an elderly person and also a popular theme among collectors. After all, its meaning was positive and also very traditional.
Gu Shishi thought about it for a second before she responded.
[I can give that a try. Do you have any specific ask? Anything that your grandma likes in particular?]
MeowMeow’s respond came a little slower this time.
[Just something jubilant that can appease the elderly, no special ask.]
[Oh, I am going to go shopping now. Let’s chat later! Oh, yeah, Guru. Can you please send me a message on WeChat when you stream in the future?]
This kid really quite enjoyed ink painting.
Gu Shishi smiled.
