Chapter 229 Making Big Revenge (1/2)
Qin Changan knew that Qin Ran was quite capable. Putting her circle of friends aside, she could figure out what had happened within minutes if she took advantage of her uncle's connections. Moreover, since her uncle was currently a tycoon in Shanghai's political circle, she definitely could not be kept in the dark. Otherwise, if she knew the details at that time, their relationship, which had been alleviated scarcely, would come to a standstill again.
It was not convenient for Qin Changan to tell Qin Ran the details in front of her directly because he was afraid that his daughter would directly hurt his feelings. As a result, he had no choice but to ask Gongsun, who also knew the inside story, to communicate with Qin Ran.
As Qin Ran started listening to Gongsun's narration, she frowned immediately. Gongsun told her how Qin Sheng had been bullied by Yan Chaozong, plunged into a crisis several consecutive times, and how those with Yan Chaozong included had set Qin Sheng up. When Qin Ran heard the details of how Qin Sheng had almost died in Mount Jiuhua and how he had recovered himself from the serious injuries for half a year, tears rolled down her face in an instant. She finally understood where her feelings came from after talking with her brother that night. That night, she felt her brother was so mature and he was also under lots of pressure. It seemed he was leading a tiresome life.
How could he not end up like this after going through all these things?
Clenching her fists tightly, Qin Ran exploded completely in the end, with tears all over her face. She loudly yelled out the words ”He is your son” furiously. Obviously, she was questioning Qin Changan about since Qin Sheng was his son and he had ended up like this, how could he have not felt sorry for him? Could it be that he would only do what a father should do after he was dead?
For such a long time, Qin Ran not been so heartbroken. She could not understand what Qin Changan was thinking. She collapsed to the ground and wept disconsolately. The reason why she behaved like this was that she loved her brother dearly, more than anyone else. She felt sorry for her brother. Though he had suffered from such serious injuries, he was still so strong and still looked ahead with a smile.
But, the stronger her brother was, the more dearly she loved him.
”Mom.” Crying hopelessly, Qin Ran shouted out aggrievedly. Never had she cried in such heartbreak for a long time. Even when she met her brother after all these years, she only cried with tears since she felt happy; however, she felt really heartbroken now.
Gongsun was somewhat at a loss and he did not know what he should do. The word ”Mom” Qin Ran had loudly called out made him lose his sense of order because he loved Qin Ran most dearly and he knew how much pain Qin Ran must have been in since she had cried out for her mom.
Gongsun could not help complaining about Qin Changan in secret. He thought, ”Qin Changan, why did you make me tell her the truth? What was the point of letting her know the truth? If we could have kept her in the dark for one more day, it would also be good. Now what we should do?”
Squatting on the ground, Gongsun patted Qin Ran on her back gently and consoled her. He said, ”Ran Ran, don't cry anymore. I know you feel sorry for your brother; however, your father has a grievance of his own. Moreover, he did get revenge for Qin Sheng.”
Qin Ran cried as if she were a child who would never grow up. She thought, ”If mom had known how much hardship that brother has gone through, how much pain would she have felt?” She replied aggrievedly, ”I miss my mom. My mom would definitely protect both my brother and me. Boo-hoo-hoo.”
What Qin Ran said made Gongsun feel more awful. He was more at a loss. Consequently, he had no choice but to yell at Qin Changan inside the study, ”Master, will you attend to her or not? What should we do?”
In the study, Qin Changan lit a cigarette. He had not known the taste of cigarettes for a long time. Letting out a sigh helplessly, he remained silent and let Qin Ran continue to cry outside. As a father, how could he not feel sorry for his daughter? However, when it came to some issues, he had to be that cruel.
It was unknown how long Gongsun had been consoling Qin Ran. He finally talked her into not crying anymore, which was simply a blessing for him. If Qin Ran continued crying, he really did not know what to do next.
”Qin Changan, if you do not love your son, I will turn to my maternal grandmother and uncle instead.” Qin Ran, who was obstinate, stood up, wiped her tears away, left this sentence behind, and was ready to leave the siheyuan.
As a result, Gongsun was thrown into a panic. If Qin Ran really turned to the members of the Zhu family, then the whole thing would become well known. At that time, nobody would know how it would wind up and Qin Changan's efforts would have been in vain.
Consequently, Gongsun directly stopped Qin Ran and said, ”Ran Ran, stop fooling around. Calm yourself down and let me finish my words first. Then you can make your own decision. Is that OK for you?”
”What else will you tell me?” Qin Ran replied, feeling wronged.
Gongsun did his best to convince her. He said, ”Things didn't go as what you have thought, nor did you know what had happened afterward. Your father did have done something for Qin Sheng. Due to your father's influence, the Yan family, the Lin Family, and the Ye Family had been leading a turbulent life in these days. Do you know why your father didn't step up directly? The reason was not that your father didn't reconcile with Qin Sheng yet, but that he simply could not do that.”
Qin Ran was a bit confused. She asked, ”Why?”
Gongsun replied resolutely, ”Because it is Qin Sheng's personal vendetta, not your father's. It must be done by Qin Sheng himself. If you reconciled with each other someday and Qin Sheng asked for your father's help on his own initiative, at that time, your father could show up. If I explain it in this way, do you understand or not?”
Upon hearing this sentence, Qin Ran finally calmed herself down. She could not help getting locked in thoughts.
”The men's world has its own rules, which is observed by men. You have to think about the issue from Qin Sheng's perspective instead of yours,” Gongsun continued.
Qin Ran did not speak. She was pondering what Gongsun had said. It was unknown how long it had been before she finally came to her senses. Wiping her tears away, she said, ”I understand it now. But I won't let them lead an easy life.”
Upon finishing her words, Qin Ran directly drove out of siheyuan and left. Gongsun felt somewhat helpless. It was unknown whether Qin Ran would make a mess or not. At this time, Qin Changan came out eventually.
Running over in a hurry, Gongsun said, ”Master, the way I see it, it was not necessary for you to do that. What should we do now?”
