Life is always like this. It gives you hope and then disappoints you, making you dumbfounded as well as physically and mentally exhausted, as if it would only be satisfied by doing so.
All the things that had happened during this period of time caused Qin Sheng to be mentally exhausted. Before one thing came to an end, a new one popped up, not giving him to chance to take a breather at all, as if it wanted to challenge his limits.
Tonight's event tortured him once again. It tortured this man who had suffered more than enough setbacks and challenges, making him withstand the pressure that did not come with his age.
It was so difficult for him to reunite with his long-lost older sister, to recall his childhood, and even recognize his mother who always appeared in his dreams. This was supposed to be a happy occasion. Qin Sheng also looked forward to reuniting with his mother. This was the biggest dream of an orphan. However, god played a joke o
Qin Sheng and Qin Ran went to rest, and Gongsun, as the majordomo of the Qin Family, went back to the siheyuan to plan for tomorrow's arrangement. Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong, however, had to stay in the car for the whole night. At four o'clock in the morning, the weather changed. With the wind howling, the ground was soon covered with heavy snow. It was the first snow in Beijing this year, earlier and heavier than in previous years. When Qin Ran woke up, it was already a world of white outside. But it was still warm inside due to the central heating. The glass of the windows was covered with vapor, like a veil half-concealing the outside scenery. Qin Ran was drowned in her memory. She seemed to go back to her childhood when she was living with her mother, brother, and sister. On such a winter morning, her mom would knock on her door to get the children to have breakfast. Qin Ran put on her clothes and opened the window. Her eyes
The Qin Family's siheyuan was located on West Street in Dengshikou. It was known to all that the siheyuan building group in that area was mysterious. Quite a lot of big shots and wealthy people lived there. The Qin Family's siheyuan was hiding in the building group so that it was not noticeable. There were quite a lot of mansions in Beijing. Take the No. 7 Diaoyutai for example; it was well-known for its outlook toward Yu Yuan Tan park. It appeared a lot in the media, becoming a hot real piece of estate. Upstarts were crazy about these mansions, while real big shots in this city all lived in the siheyuans. Even a middle-sized one had a sky-high price. The residences there were unimaginable. Of course, some people might say that the houses in Muxidi, apartments in Shijingshan, and siheyuans on Fuyou street were the best. This was true. But they only belonged to those few people that had reached the top of the pyramid. It took about 20 minutes
It was like Murphy's law. Qin Sheng hoped he was wrong, but this was exactly what happened. His father was the unique middle-aged man he had met before in Xiamen. When he met him for the first time, Qin Sheng realized that this man was no small potato. He looked different. He told Qin Sheng that he was from Beijing and was a retired civil servant. How could Qin Sheng guess that the man was his father? First, he remembered his father's photo, taken when he was young, on the wall of the old house. It was kind of similar to the man he had met in Xiamen. His father's appearance changed with time, but his lineament would not change. Second, Qin Ran didn't mention their father after they came back to Beijing. She seemed to be hiding something from him. When they were in the old house, she didn't tell him about the person in the photo. There had to be something wrong. Third, Qin Sheng had met Qin Ran for the first time i
Right now, Qin Sheng didn't want to know the social status and family background of this so-called father, which was because he would find out about all of these sooner or later. All he wanted to know now was the truth about everything that had happened during this period. What on earth was the truth? It was because, up until now, he was still doubting that he had been living in a world where Truman had lived during this period. Someone had set everything up for him. It was because he felt that many things had taken place coincidentally and he had been a lucky dog. It was especially true with the things that had happened after the accident on Mount Jiuhua. Everything might be overthrown, which might lead to another different conclusion. Qin Changan sat across from Qin Sheng slowly and waited for Qin Sheng's questions calmly. He would disclose all the truths to Qin Sheng. Never would he keep Qin Sheng in the dark, nor would he care about whether Qin Sheng
From Qin Changan's perspective, of course, what he had done made sense. Firstly, he needed to protect Qin Sheng; Secondly, he intended to train Qin Sheng; Thirdly, he needed to make sure what kind of man Qin Sheng was, and so on. Though Qin Sheng was his son and among all the men across several generations in the Qin Family, never had that kind of hopeless crumb ever shown up, he still needed to keep testing Qin Sheng as time went by rather than taking risks blindly. After all, the Qin Family was rich and vast and had a strong foundation, and all the generations of the Qin Family had sacrificed so many things to achieve their current position with great difficulty, so Qin Changan had to be prudent and watchful. However, in Qin Sheng's opinion, he simply could not accept all that Qin Changan had done for him, which were also unfair to him. What Qin Changan had done completely made Qin Sheng's achievements and experience over the past several years mean nothing. Original
Yanqi Lake was located at the foot of Yan Mountain, which was north of Huairou City to the northeast of Beijing. It was bordered by the Great Wall to the north and the North China Plain to the south. Yanqi Lake had a broad body of crystal clear water. Flocks of wild geese would come here to have a rest every spring and winter season yearly, which was the reason why Yanqi Lake had such a name. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a natural shelter. Consequently, no wind-blown sand had attacked the lake region. The weather there was humid in all seasons. The environment was also extremely good. As a result, Yanqi Lake had been developed over the past few years. Most importantly, several major international conferences would be held here this year, making the popularity of Yanqi Lake rise rapidly. The distance between the downtown area and Yanqi Lake was 60 kilometers. Qin Ran was skilled at driving, who took her time driving and had a stable mental stat
Originally, Qin Ran had not planned to so quickly inform the family members, including her grandmother and her uncle, about the piece of news that her brother had come back home. However, the relationship between Qin Sheng and her father became so stiff now, which could not be elevated in a short period. As a result, Qin Ran had to find a breakthrough and find someone else to replace her father's position who could care about Qin Sheng from a different perspective. It was evident that she could not be the one because she had just built a connection with Qin Sheng. Consequently, she dared not to do other things randomly. After she thought it over and over again, she thought only her uncle could fit such a role. Anyway, she would tell her uncle about this piece of news sooner or later. As a result, she had no choice but to inform her uncle first and keep it from her father. In a heavily guarded courtyard in Sijiu City, a middle-aged man who was dressed in a
Though Qin Sheng's mental state had been troubled by various issues lately, his inherent wariness was still there. After all, he developed this instinct back when he had been trained by his grandfather in the Zhongnan Mountains, during that period. Previously, when he had been fighting recklessly with the beasts in Qinling, it had not been as easy as fighting with his peers in the cities. Consequently, Qin Sheng's instincts told him that somebody was watching him. As for the answer as to who was watching him, it was not difficult to guess. Apparently, except for Qin Changan, it would be the group of enemies in Hangzhou. However, since he had cast the latter off in Huang Mei Town earlier and gone to Tsingtao, his enemies in Hangzhou should not be the ones here. Qin Sheng would feel more indignant if it was Qin Changan's underlings who was watching him. It was because originally, he had been dissatisfied with Qin Changan. Could it be because
