Chapter 163 A New Plan (1/2)
Although the old lady initially pushed for Lin Su and Yan Chaozong to be together, it was only because he seemed like a better choice for Lin Su. Firstly, she admired him as a younger generation. Secondly, it was because of the dealings between the Yan and Lin families. The background of the Yan family only came in last. She naturally wished for her granddaughter to marry someone good, but all these years, Lin Su was stagnant in the relationship game. This caused the old lady to be very anxious. Hence, when the Yan family had the intention, the old lady pushed for it as well.
Today, Lin Su had made her own decision. The old lady naturally respected her choice. As long as it was someone whom Lin Su liked, she would support her. She trusted Lin Su's judgments because she knew her well. An ordinary man could never enter her eyes. As to what this man did for a living, the old lady did not care at all. She only cared if this man treated Lin Su good or bad, whether he had potential.
In this world, many things were not constant. No one could determine one's fate. The old lady had lived for so many years, the number of people whom she had seen was more than the salt that the younger ones have eaten. There were too many seemingly ordinary men whom she had seen in her younger days eventually shot to success after a few years of accumulation. There were too many living examples like this in society, especially after the reform. Many ordinary men were leaders in their field.
If you could not grab hold of a man when he was still ordinary, you would never be able to grab hold of him after he started to rise up, let alone in his best days. This was like an investment. The greatest profit from an outstanding project could only be gained through angel investment. Towards the end, you would have to contribute more and gain lesser.
At least right now, in the eyes of the old lady, Qin Sheng was considered not bad. She did not reject him.
The old lady accompanied Lin Su and Qin Sheng to finish their meal and then went to rest. Qin Sheng and Lin Su naturally would not want to continue staying in the Lin family. Thinking about how the old lady was there, this bunch of people would not dare to do anything to them.
Hence, Qin Sheng and Lin Su only stayed in Ningbo for two hours before they headed straight back to Shanghai. The members of the Lin family did not stop them. When they were leaving, Lin Yue snuck out to send them off. She whispered to Lin Su, ”Sis, don't worry, I'll update you immediately if there's any movement.”
Qin Sheng was so grateful he almost wanted to devote his life to her. He quickly said, ”When you come to Shanghai, I'll treat you to a feast.”
”Brother-in-law, I don't need a feast, just treat my sister well. If I find out that you're bullying her... humph! I'll definitely not let you off,” Lin Yue threatened.
Qin Sheng giggled. ”Don't worry, you won't have the chance.”
After leaving the Lin family, Lin Su then remembered Qin Sheng's treatment just now and linking back to how he got hurt in Southwestern Sichuan a few days ago, she asked worriedly, ”Qin Sheng, is your body okay?”
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, ”I'm fine! Does it look like there's something wrong?”
”I'm sorry,” said Lin Su pitifully.
Behind the wheel, Qin Sheng freed one hand and patted her thigh. ”You don't have to say sorry, even if someone has to say sorry, it should be me saying it to you.”
Lin Su looked at him with deep affection. She was even more determined to be with him. She would not give up, no matter what kind of difficulties or setbacks they might face.
It was already in the afternoon by the time they returned to Shanghai. Lin Su insisted on bringing Qin Sheng to the hospital to do a check-up. She was more or less worried about his injuries. Qin Sheng was prepared to rush back to Shangshan Ruoshui. The signing ceremony was already over. Chang Baji sent him a text, saying that Han Zhengdong was very angry that he did not come.
Hence, Qin Sheng could only shrug it off and said that he was fine. He said that he would go to the hospital for a check-up the next day because he had a more important job today. Lin Su then let him go.
After sending Qin Sheng to Shangshan Ruoshui, Lin Su headed straight to the company. She did not go there to work overtime, but to prepare to draw a line between herself and the Lin family. After all, what she had today was all given by the Lin family. Also, she knew what her father, Lin Changting, would do next. He would definitely cut off her financial source in order to force her to succumb to his request. Hence, it was better for her to do it herself.
Like what she had expected, after Lin Su left, Lin Changting immediately made the arrangements for the Vice President of Lin Su's company to take over her position as President. He felt that he had spoilt her, such that she now knew no boundaries, even becoming daring enough to go against the elders in the family, bringing a man from god-knows-where back home and even letting him beat them up. If Lin Su still did not succumb to his wishes, he would then take back the house in Lujiazui Central Apartment. He wanted to know if the bread or milk was more important.
As for Lin Changhe, he planned to go to Shanghai personally tomorrow and talk to Qin Sheng and Lin Su separately.
On Yan Chaozong's side, Uncle Zhen was not badly injured and had already returned to Shanghai after resting for a few days. The badly injured Feng He who had a few broken ribs continued to stay in Chengdu. He would return to Shanghai after making a suitable recovery.
Yan Chaozong had lost a great deal in this incident. He was in a bad mood for a few days straight. He did not expect to fail this plan that he was so confident in. He could not accept the fact that he had been played by a loser.
After Uncle Zhen returned to Shanghai, Yan Chaozong made him come over right away and listened to him narrate the whole incident. After listening to it, Yan Chaozong felt that it was indeed not Uncle Zhen and Feng He's fault. Their plan was flawless, but they had underestimated their enemy's potential.
”This Chang Baji is actually so powerful,” Yan Chaozong murmured to himself.
