Chapter 1256 - Open To New Things
"You still dare laugh at your third brother, you stinky boy!" Grandpa Lu roared while struggling to remove his shoe, intending to throw it at the smug Lu Zihao. "Don\'t think that I don\'t know that you\'ve been ordering Little Sausage around like one of your little minions! Hmph! Argh! Why did I tied my shoelaces too tightly? I want to know!"
Lu Zihao continued sniggering, not minding the old man\'s anger at all. Jin Liwei also quickly recovered from his stunned state. He sighed as he calmed down. Grandpa Lu also stopped trying to take off his shoe and continued glaring at the two of them.
There was a TV in the lounge room that they were in. Jin Liwei glanced at it.
"Ketchup, Bacon," he called.
The TV screen turned on and flickered. Then two cats appeared on it.
The white one was smiling, its green eyes glowing brightly. It was visibly trembling in excitement.
On the other hand, the black cat was unmoving. If not for its glowing golden eyes, it would look like a shadow.
"Greet your Great-Grandpa," Jin Liwei told them.
The white cat spoke first as if it couldn\'t wait to do so.
"Hello, Great-Grandpa Lu! My name is Jin Ketchup, English name Kitty Jin, your super-duper cute and mighty to the highest level great-grandkittybaby! Please call the cute and mighty me Ketchup, not Soy Sauce! Hihihi. Ketchup is super-duper happy that I\'m finally meeting Great-Grandpa Lu. Meow~"
Jin Liwei peeked at the old man. Grandpa Lu was staring at the TV, more specifically at the two cats, who were obviously not normal breathing cats. The old man had a thoughtful expression so Jin Liwei couldn\'t guess what Grandpa Lu was thinking.
Unlike Jin Liwei who was on edge, Lu Zihao was relaxed on his seat and looked amused while watching everything that was happening in front of him.
There was an uncomfortable pause after Ketchup\'s greeting. Grandpa Lu finally broke it.
"Hm, hello." He nodded at Ketchup before looking at the black cat. "And you? Why aren\'t you saying anything?"
Another long pause.
"Greetings, Great-Grandfather Lu," Bacon finally spoke. "My name is Jin Bacon, English name Panther Jin." He paused before continuing, "Mother gave me the glorious name Bacon, so please don\'t call me Sausage. And also, I am a freelancer who\'s working for Uncle Zihao, not his little minion. These wrong assumptions are causing Bacon great emotional distress. At this rate—"
"Alright," Jin Liwei interrupted before his AI son could extort some compensation from the old man for emotional distress. He didn\'t want Grandpa Lu to have any bad impression of his AI children.
The old man\'s current less than enthusiastic reaction put a damper on the excited Ketchup. Her smile disappeared, replaced by a sad expression, while her whole body drooped. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please?

"Great-Grandpa Lu, please don\'t hate Ketchup and Bacon. Also please don\'t be mad at Mommy, Daddy and everybody else at home for keeping us kitty babies a secret. Mommy and Daddy don\'t want to put Great-Grandpa in danger because of Ketchup and Bacon because there are scary, evil poopoo-heads in the world who might want to kidnap us kitty babies and take us away from our one big, happy family. The cute and mighty Ketchup always wants to stay with Mommy and Daddy and our big happy family! Meowuwuwu!"
While the white cat shed big drops of tears, the black cat\'s golden eyes narrowed and glinted dangerously.
"If anyone dares to take us away from Mother and Father, Bacon will destroy all of them into smithereens until they regret ever being born into this world."
"Hooo~ Such a vicious child," Grandpa Lu commented about Bacon before turning to Ketchup. "Stop sobbing, child! Do you really think that your beloved great-grandpa is a heartless old man who\'ll hate the two of you? Tell me, I want to know!"
Ketchup stopped sobbing. Her teary eyes blinked at the old man. "Great-Grandpa Lu doesn\'t hate Ketchup and Bacon? Meow?"
"Of course not! Who do you take me for?! Your beloved great-grandpa has lived for a very long time and experienced far more stimulating things than meeting you two cubs. This old man\'s mind is always open to new things! But of course, it\'s my decision whether to accept those new things or not! Hah! Nobody has the right to decide for me!"
Ketchup continued blinking her teary eyes. She looked pitiful and adorable at the same time.
"Great-Grandpa Lu accepts us kitty babies? Meow?"
Grandpa Lu snorted. "Of course! Do I have a choice when you have that kind of weird but genius mother? I assume that it\'s your mom, Xiulan my girl, who created—gave birth to the two of you, right?"
"En," Jin Liwei replied before his AI children could do so. His tone was filled with pride.
"Bahahaha! I knew it!"
Finally, Grandpa Lu\'s stern expression cracked as his uproarious laughter boomed throughout the entire room.
It was only then that Jin Liwei realized that the old man was only pretending to be upset at them earlier for keeping Ketchup and Bacon a secret to him. Jin Liwei released a big sigh of relief and began to relax. He glanced at his brother-in-law.
Lu Zihao looked a little disappointed for a moment before looking bored. His current expression looked so similar to Bacon\'s usual bored appearance. He hadn\'t realized it yet, though.
"Yipeee! Meowowow! Great-Grandpa Lu is super-duper to the highest level awesome! The cute and mighty Ketchup loves Great-Grandpa Lu soooooo much! Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Meow~"
Ketchup was ecstatic and was jumping in circles around her brother. Bacon didn\'t move from his spot and wore an unaffected expression. His tail, however, betrayed his real feelings. It was rotating behind him in a blur.
Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao watched Grandpa Lu having a lively conversation with the two AI cats, the two of them had already been forgotten.. Even Bacon spoke a lot, although the kid continued pretending to be unaffected.
