The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Shen Zhi grabbed a large fishnet, squatted down, and strained with all her might to scoop up the fish: "Grandpa... don't just stand there and watch, help Zhizhi... Zhizhi is about to lose it..."

Grandpa Shen then threw down his fishing rod and rushed over to help Shen Zhi scoop up all the fish in the net.

Wow, that's heavy!

His bucket wasn't big enough for one person, so he borrowed one of Grandpa Qian's buckets.

Shen Zhi's face was splashed with water by the fish tails. One of the big fish even jumped up and kissed Shen Zhi, causing the little girl to stumble and sit on the ground, grinning with her big white teeth.

"Grandpa, fishing is so much fun!"

Four old men: ...

They stared at the two large buckets of fish, lost in thought.

"What just happened?"

"I don't know. I've been fishing for more than half a year, and I haven't caught as many fish as I have today."

"Me too... Old Shen, did you change your bait?"

"No, otherwise why wouldn't my fishing float move at all?"

The four old men couldn't come up with a solution, so they all turned their attention to Shen Zhi.

If we're talking about variables, the only variable is this little girl.

"Could it be that your little girl is a lucky star? With her by your side, you won't go fishing and end up losing everything?" Grandpa Sun is a scientist, but now he has to believe in things outside of science.

Grandpa Shen had seen Shen Zhi's variety show online and laughed along with the netizens back then, especially that free-range chicken that died from hitting its head on the ground.

Now, aren't these fish just like that chicken back then?

Shen Zhi wasn't afraid that her grandfather would capture her for research, but she also didn't want to cause herself any trouble.

So she pinched a ball of bait, stuffed it into her grandfather's hand, and sweetly urged him:

"Grandpa, you just feed the fish, and they'll come over. It's that simple."

The little girl had an innocent and pure look on her face, seemingly no different from other children.

Grandpa Shen examined the bait in his hand; it was unremarkable, and he couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Hearing Shen Zhi's words, he casually tossed the fishing float near the shore.

In Shen Zhi's eyes, however, it turned into scattered golden light flowing into the lake.

"Holy crap! A fish actually came!"

"I'm going back now, I caught a fish with my fishing rod!" Professor Qian said, beaming, and hurried back to his seat.

The other three grandfathers, their faces beaming with joy, began to reel in their fishing rods.

Now, everyone put aside their speculations and were filled with the joy of catching a fish.

"Haha! We're in luck today, let's fish a little longer!"

"Okay, okay."

"If you ask me, it's definitely because of Zhizhi. We've never had such good luck before!"

Old Master Shen raised an eyebrow slightly and beckoned to Shen Zhi:

"Zhizhi, be a good girl, sit down next to Grandpa and don't run around."

"Mmm! Zhizhi is staying with Grandpa and won't go anywhere."

After sitting there, Old Master Shen caught fish much more often.

As soon as he put the fishing hook down, big and small fish rushed to it.

Some small fish tried to bite the hook, but were knocked away by the big fish, as if only it could bite.

The four old men had never seen such a spectacle before, and they all took out their phones to take pictures and videos.

Grandpa Li filmed a video and posted it in the Beijing Fishing Club's group chat, his brow furrowed with undisguised pride.

"It's finally our turn to make them jealous by posting videos. Usually, it's them who make us jealous."

"Yes, yes, Zhizhi, you take pictures of Grandpa."

"OK."

Grandpa Shen had just caught a fish that was a full arm's length long. He held it in one hand and gave a peace sign to the camera.

That posture was incredibly smug.

As soon as he posted it, everyone in the group got excited.

[Is this Old Shen? You can catch such a big fish?]

[Was this generated using soybeans? My son said AI is really powerful these days.]

[It's definitely fake. Old Shen is a well-known bear, everyone in the group knows that.]

[@LaoLu, look what you've done to Lao Shen, he's even started buying fish to take photos!]

[It might have been one of those artificially raised fish ponds, where fishing is very easy, nothing to brag about.]

[Old Lu]: Old Shen, if you can't catch any fish, just give up. You're not young anymore, there's no point in fooling yourself like this.

【…】

The group chat was full of sarcastic remarks. Occasionally, a few members would ask where Grandpa Shen had caught the fish, and three other grandfathers would speak up for him.

But if they send it out, it will soon be flooded with messages.

"Hmph! That old Lu guy is all about being sarcastic and sarcastic. What? He's allowed to catch big fish, but we can't?"

"Exactly! I'll post this address in the group chat and let them all come and fish. Let them see for themselves, then they won't dare laugh at us anymore."

Grandpa Li was indignant. Holding his phone, he put on his reading glasses and typed rapidly, just like a keyboard warrior (in the old days).

"Yes! I'll post it in the group chat. I'm so lucky today, I don't believe I can't crush them!" Grandpa Sun was also quite determined.

About an hour later, as Shen Zhi was dozing off on her grandfather's folding bed, the grandfathers who had been taunting her in the group arrived, with Grandpa Lu leading the way.

When Shen Zhi saw him, she didn't even offer a smile; she simply turned her face away, pretending she was still asleep.

Humph.

She disliked Old Master Lu; she disliked him in her past life.

Shen Zhi hadn't returned to the Lu family's old house many times in her previous life because Old Master Lu didn't acknowledge her.

He directly insulted her in front of everyone, calling her an unwanted bastard who didn't deserve to be included in the Lu family's genealogy.

Coincidentally, Old Master Shen also disliked Old Master Lu, so when he saw that Zhizhi didn't greet him, he not only didn't scold her, but also considerately covered her eyes.

That old geezer, don't even think about hearing his precious granddaughter call him grandpa.

Grandpa Lu bypassed Shen Zhi and sat down on the other side of the pond.

Several of Old Master Lu's old followers shouted:

"How about we see who can catch a fish first within half an hour?"

In the past, the four old men, Shen, Qian, Sun, and Li, would definitely not have dared to accept the challenge, but at the end, they had the confidence that Zhizhi gave them:

"Come on then, who's afraid of you?"

Just as the group was about to cast their fishing lines, Shen Zhi stretched and sat up straight.

"If we win, what benefits will the grandfather on the other side give us?"

Grandpa Shen instantly understood, and chuckled, poking Shen Zhi's two dimples:

"You little rascal, what do you want?"

"I think his fishing rod is pretty good. Zhizhi wants a fishing rod to go fishing too."

Grandpa Lu's fishing rod was too big for Shen Zhi, so she wouldn't have much use for it. But if she could win the tool, it would be a real blow to Grandpa Lu's arrogance.

Besides, that fishing gear set costs at least several hundred thousand yuan, so why not take it?

"Okay! Grandpa will help you win it!"

"Yes, yes, Zhizhi believes in Grandpa!"

Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Lu were discussing the bet.

The latter gave Shen Zhi a cryptic look, then coldly scoffed, "Young in age, but ambitious beyond measure. Fine, Grandpa will teach you a lesson today, so you won't be arrogant and self-important when you enter society... Bah!"

"Old Shen, what are you doing!"

Old Lu spat out the mud from his mouth, his face contorted with wrinkles.

"You're so old and still talking so much nonsense. Hurry up and start fishing, stop babbling." Old Master Shen elegantly wiped the dirt off his hands with a handkerchief, sat down unhurriedly, and began fishing.

Old Lu originally wanted to settle accounts, but his sharp eyes noticed that fish were already surfacing in the water near Old Shen's side, so he dared not make any more noise and sat down, holding his breath.

Seeing that Old Man Lu had been humiliated, Shen Zhi covered her mouth with her small hand and secretly laughed.

Grandpa is so great! He's the best at throwing mud!
