Though Lao Meng had called Qin Sheng purposely to explain what Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan did, Qin Sheng was disappointed by them because they didn't treat him as a brother, and he was not prepared to forgive them. He thought they would never meet each other after that, and he was unhappy about Lao Meng bringing them here.
Qin Sheng specially brought Qin Ran, his sister, to meet Hao Lei, his best friend. Additionally, he had to talk about some important things with Hao Lei and ask him to go to Beijing after the Spring Festival. But he didn't expect Hao Lei to take Lao Meng here. What was worse, he even took Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan here, which made Qin Sheng feel uncomfortable. As a consequence, he had to inform Hao Lei of the business next time, maybe by cell.
There were six persons in total in the room. Qin Ran said hello to everybody and then observed Qin Sheng's friends. She soon realized that they might have had some conflict before, and that was why Qin Sheng
As Lin Su had come back last time, Qin Sheng had already met both Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan, which had been set up and arranged by Lao Meng. At that time, Qin Sheng had been present, who had not minded seeing Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan at all. After all, they had been brothers to each other before. Even though others had not given a damn about it, Qin Sheng did care about it a lot. Both Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan had apologized to him that day and Qin Sheng had said that he had forgiven them smilingly. One of them had also drunk up one bottle of beer. However, had Qin Sheng forgiven them at that time? He had not. He had said so just verbally. Deep inside his heart, he had not forgiven them at all. That was because their relationship could not be as what it used to be in the past, as well as Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan had not apologized to him sincerely, which Qin Sheng could see that was hugely different from their behavior tonight. After that day, Qin Sheng had gotten some inside stories, n
On the last day of the year, most of the people had gone back to their hometowns. All the families were saturated with cheering and laughing. After all, on that day, there were so many customs in many places, such as visiting the graves of their ancestors, inviting them to go home to celebrate the Spring Festival, and so on. Consequently, Capital Airport, where the people had been hurrying to and fro and which had been quite lively on usual days, became somewhat deserted today. However, many travelers were catching flights, intending to go back home and unite with their family members before New Year's Eve. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival was quite lively at the airport. However, the livelier the atmosphere was, the more grieved they felt. If it were not for their livelihoods, everybody would like to go back home early and unite with their family members. However, instead, they had no choice but to rush home at the last moment. Gongsun came to pick
The whole thing was too much of a storm to all the people involved at that time. Not to mention the desperate position the Qin Family was held in, and the role the Zhu Family was playing in all of that. Anyway, the unexpected death of Qin Sheng's mother, Zhu Qinghuan, and Old Master Qin's taking Qin Sheng away, had altogether jeopardized the relationship between the two families. Maybe it was too much to say that the two families were done with each other forever, but the seniorities of the two nearly had no correspondence since then; only their juniors moved about once in a while. The only difference was that the Zhu Family kept being very nice to their niece, Qin Ran, as they always did because she was both innocent and pathetic. Years after that, with the privilege of his own power and the resources handed down from his ancestors, Qin Changan had finally killed his way out and stood at such a high position, towering over Sijiu City. Yet, after achievin
If Song Zhiqiu didn't count, Lin Su could be the only genuine girlfriend that Qin Sheng had officially acknowledged, apart from his first true love, Su Qin. As a young lady, with extreme beauty and wealth that could be coveted by any men for the past years, she allowed herself to undergo so much pain and loss for Qin Sheng's sake. No wonder Yan Chaozong was in desperate pursuit for her. She gave up everything, fell out with her family, and chose to live the most ordinary life with Qin Sheng. How many good and proud women would sacrifice so much for their beloved men? Especially during those six months when Qin Sheng was sick in bed, how would he have ended up without Lin Su's good care? In a sense, Qin Sheng's feelings towards Lin Su were beyond all doubt. He hadn't meant to avoid Lin Su. The reasons were complicated. One was that he himself was in chaos; he had a mind full of things that he couldn't even figure out himself, leaving no extra time for him to reach Lin S
For Qin Changan, considering his status, the Spring Festival was a great trouble due to the tradition of paying the New Year visits. He didn't need to visit many people, but there were quite a lot of people who were eager to meet him. The Spring Festival holiday time was only a few days' long, so it was impossible to meet all of them, and he had to refuse some of those visits. Usually, Qin Changan went out to pay his visits in the early morning and went home at noon to entertain his guests. The first day of the New Year was significant. It was his present status that allowed him to arrange that day by himself. He had to buzz here and there for the whole day when he was young. Since Qin Sheng was back, Qin Changan could let his son represent him to entertain the guests. That way, he also declared to everyone that his son was back and was taking his position. His business rivals had been teasing him for he had no sons to inherit his mantle. Qin Changan was
What could the Qin Family do with its power? Qin Sheng was not sure yet. He had never asked his sister, Qin Changan or Gongsun. He just kept others' words on his mind, analyzing and guessing. After all, he had begun to take over Qin Family's resources, trying to undo the veil on the Qin Family. He thought that Spring Festival had given him enough chances to explore. But he never imagined that he could watch that scene. From what he saw in the Zhu Family, he was sure about something. He had already known who his mother's brother was, and it wasn't hard to search for information. Since then, Qin Sheng was confident to confront Yan Chaozong and his other enemies. At that moment, Qin Ran didn't notice that Qin Sheng was hesitating. She walked slowly toward the kind elderly man sitting at the center. There were two red cushions next to him. Qin Ran giggled and kneeled on the cushion. "Grandfather Song, I'm here to pay you the New Ye
The Song Family had kept a low-profile thanks to its Old Master's strict management. Old Master Song was born and grew up in a turbulent era of exotic invasion and transferring of governments, when everyone led a homeless and miserable life. He survived from a series of wars, struggling hard to become a politician. Old Master Song had witnessed a critical change of the Chinese nation in history, from troubled to prosperous. Old Master Song always followed the Chinese traditional moral principles of self-cultivating, family-regulating, state-ordering, and the land was greatly governed. He was blessed by the heavens so that he was lucky enough to be one of the survivors from the cruel wars. His own efforts were far from enough to make his achievements to that day. It was always on his mind that his success stood on the shoulders of hundreds of thousands of dead men. He was strict to himself and also to the young generation of his family. He would absolutely punish those
The pattern-carved door of the main living room had been shut by Secretary He so that other people couldn't see Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu, giving them some privacy to chat away and learn more about each other.Old Master Song believed that they would not be embarrassed due to his granddaughter's ability to get along well with others. More importantly, they used to be friends when they were young, and they could chat away about something interesting from their childhood. Qin Sheng didn't look like a nerd anyway."Ran Ran, what do you think of Yu'er? You're about to be her sister-in-law. I hope that you can take care of her, rather than abuse her." Old Master Song's joke flustered the other ones, thinking that their Old Master was determined to let Song Ruyu marry Qin Sheng regardless of other people's and even Yu'er's opinion.Qin Ran became still, flustered by Old Master Song's direct words. She hesitated to answer, thinking of Lin Su, Qin Sheng'
