Chapter 449 What Can He Do Now?

Qin Sheng didn’t take Lin Su with him to meet his grandmother, since he had never told her about Lin Su before and his grandmother might need time to do some preparation for meeting her future granddaughter-in-law, like a gift and all.

Lin Su was left in their new home, doing some cleaning. They finally had their own home and would not shift from here to there anymore.

Lin Su was still astonished by Qin Ran’s extremely expensive gift. This apartment cost at least 20 million yuan, which indicated how rich the Qin Family was.

It had been over a year since Lin Su had been in Shanghai last. She used to live and work here for many years, having quite a lot of memories and stories in this city. And she met Qin Sheng again after they separated for a long time, and began a romantic but difficult story then. At that time, Qin Sheng couldn’t help leaving Shanghai.

When flipping through her memories, she was inspired a lot by the thought of her life then. No matter how difficult the process had been, she would never whine about it and just focused on the happy ending.

After Qin Sheng and Qin Ran left, Lin Su idled around in the apartment and took a good look around, thinking about what they needed to buy or change. This was the home of her Qin Shen, which deserved all of her thoughtfulness to decorate.

Qin Ran drove Qin Sheng to Sinan Road. Along the way, she said, “The old lady had been expecting you back, though you just left for a few days. A couple of times, she wanted to call you but was afraid of disturbing you. She had never treated us that way. You’re really adored by her.”

“Sister, of course I know. I’m staying longer in Shanghai for her.” Qin Sheng smiled. He knew how his grandmother adored him. She was very old and didn’t have much time left.

Qin Ran just reminded him. It was tacit to all that though the old lady had realized her dream of finding her lost grandson again, she still wanted to make up for what Qin Sheng suffered in the past 20 years through her love and care, or even through spoiling him.

“Are you done in Ningbo?” Qin Ran asked softly. She had taken advantage of the Zhu Family’s and the Qin Family’s resources, which was why Qin Sheng was able to handle it so soon.

Qin Sheng answered, “The matter with the Lin Family has ended, but I still need you to deal with some other things.”

“You don’t have to mind that Lin Songhao. It’s none of our business, since many forces are involved. As for the Lin Family, I’ll let you handle it,” Qin Ran said in a low tone.

“The Lin Family had given 40% of their business to Lin Su, so they’re not my target anymore,” Qin Sheng said. And thought, “Once we marry, Lin Su’s assets will all be mine, and the Lin Family cannot do anything about it.”

Qin Ran offered a profound smile. “I get your meaning.”

When they arrived at Sinan Road, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran had drawn a conclusion regarding the Lin Family: They would first get rid of the burden that they had pressed on the Lins, and once Lin Su got what belonged to her, the Qin Family’s resources would be injected into the Lins’ business, boosting their development. The Lin Family was good at running the company on a proper track and Qin Sheng didn’t need to worry about it. The Lin Family would then know that what they suffered from Qin Sheng was actually a blessing in disguise.

Their car stopped in front of the yard, and they found another car there. It surprised them, for the old lady barely had guests in her Shanghai home. Qin Sheng got out of the car and asked, “Sister, a guest?”

“No idea. I didn’t come here in the past two days.” Qin Ran shrugged. She was quite busy these days, minding quite a lot of things. If not, she would have gone back to Beijing for work.

They walked into the house and heard voices and laughter from the living room. It was a woman, and it seemed that they were familiar with each other. They exchanged a glance and trotted in.

“Ruyu? Why are you here?” Qin Ran saw the woman who was chatting with the old lady first and was quite surprised.

Song Ruyu was looking in the direction of the door and saw the sibling the moment she raised her head. She rose and smiled. “Sister Ran Ran, you’re back. Grandmother was just talking about you.”

Song Ruyu went directly to visit the old lady once she arrived in Shanghai at her grandfather Old Master Song’s request. Usually, the other seniors of the Song Family should come to pay the old lady the New Year’s Call, but this was done by Song Ruyu this year because she had a business trip to Shanghai, and this journey was delayed for a few days compared with those of past years. Old Master Song was implying his meaning to all the Songs by giving this special task to Song Ruyu.

The Song Family had been getting along well with the Zhu Family as, after all, Old Master Song used to be a colleague of Old Master Zhu, and they were good friends. The old lady, who felt weird about why the Song Family’s people hadn’t come for the New Year’s Call, didn’t imagine that she would see Song Ruyu. She was fond of this girl and was willing to chat away with her every time they met, though she had no idea of the long-long-ago engagement thing.

Qin Sheng was astonished by Song Ruyu’s appearance here. He had quite a good impression of this young lady at the first sight of her. She was quite special, like a white sheet without spots, the clear blue sky without clouds after rain, or the serenity of a snow-covered view through a window opened in the early morning.

Qin Sheng nodded to Song Ruyu as a greeting and she nodded back in response.

Once she saw Qin Sheng, the old lady almost forgot Song Ruyu, who was sitting beside her on the sofa, and Qin Ran, who she didn’t see for the past two days. She struggled to rise and said, “Oh, my Sheng’er, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.”

Qin Sheng immediately trotted over to his grandmother and held her arm. “Grandmother, I just left for a few days. I’m here now.”

“I’ve been waiting for you for over 20 years. I’m just afraid that you won’t come back once you leave,” the old lady couldn’t help saying. Qin Ran and Song Ruyu were both amused by the old lady’s childish words.

Qin Sheng tried to stop her. “Grandmother, come on, I won’t go anywhere. I’m staying in Shanghai for you.”

Then she pulled Qin Sheng to sit down, still squeezing his hand. Her great love and care made Qin Sheng moved. His elderly grandmother thought about him every day, calling him to ask about his daily routines. But he regretted that his grandmother was in such a bad health condition. His sister mentioned that last time when his grandmother was in the hospital, the doctor even gave a Critically Ill Notice, suggesting that she almost died. He just hoped that he could give more of his time to his grandmother.

“Sheng’er, let me introduce to you, this is…” The old lady pointed at Song Ruyu.

Qin Sheng broke in, “Grandmother, we’ve met before.”

“Ah? You’ve met?” The old lady didn’t expect that because Qin Sheng had just come back to their family.

Song Ruyu explained, “Grandmother, we met when he went to pay a New Year’s Call at my home.”

“Oh, well.” The old lady thought, “It must have been my son. How could he make Sheng’er so busy just after he came back? Why so hurried?”

Qin Ran asked, “Ruyu, why are you here in Shanghai? If you had informed me, I would have gone to pick you up at the airport.”

“Sister Ran Ran, I didn’t know that you were in Shanghai, I thought you were in Beijing. I came to Shanghai for my own business and dropped in to pay the New Year’s Call. I haven’t seen her in a long time.” Song Ruyu’s voice was soft and mild, and her innocent eyes also gave her a unique look.

Qin Ran said, “You rarely leave Beijing. How long will you stay in Shanghai?”

“I’ll take care of all my things tomorrow. I am staying for a few days. I’ve been in Shanghai before but never traveled around.” Song Ruyu, in fact, didn’t like modern big cities like Shanghai, but preferred quiet and remote towns.

Qin Ran said, “Oh, so Qin Sheng has enough free time now and can show you around. He had been in Shanghai for a couple of years and attended university in Shanghai.”

Before Song Ruyu answered, Qin Sheng was astonished and said, “Sister, you…”

“What? You don’t want to entertain our beautiful guest? A rare opportunity, you know.” Qin Ran was unhappy about Qin Sheng’s reaction.

Song Ruyu, though she had a good impression of Qin Sheng and would like to know more about him for some reason, sensed that Qin Sheng was not willing at once and said, “Sister Ran Ran, I’m all right. I just prefer being alone.”

The old lady always liked and cared for Song Ruyu. “Ugh? No way. Let Sheng’er go with you. I’ll be afraid for your safety if you’re alone.”

The old lady turned to Qin Sheng then. “Sheng’er, take good care of her for me, or I’ll let you know that my love can be tough.”

Qin Sheng was not sure what his sister meant, but he couldn’t refuse his grandmother and just said, “Grandmother, I’m quite all right with it, but maybe she would feel uncomfortable.”

“And you, Ruyu?” the old lady asked with an exploring smile.

Song Ruyu nodded and smiled. “I agree with you.”

Qin Sheng didn’t expect that Song Ruyu would agree. But what about Lin Su? She had just arrived in Shanghai. If he left her alone and went to accompany another woman, especially a beautiful young woman, Lin Su would definitely be irritated.
