Chapter 247 What a Coincidence (2/2)
At that time, Qin Sheng and Wang Li, who walked in front, already walked into the hall. The manager there asked them politely, “Good day. May I know if you have a reservation?”
Qin Sheng replied casually, “Yes, we do. We booked a table next to the windows.”
Just then, a crowd of people walked out of the hall. There were approximately five or six, including both male and female. Two middle-aged men, who were dressed in Polo shirts, walked at the front. The looks on their faces were florid. They walked somewhat feebly and tremblingly. Obviously, they had drunk much. By their side, there were two ladies, who were dignified and magnanimous. Their dressing style was quite distinguished and graceful. The satchels they brought with them were branded as Hermes and Burberry. They also wore glittering jewelry and accessories on their wrists and necks. At the rear, there were two young people, including one male and one female. The female was quite beautiful and was dressed in a pink fabric skirt. She had long hair and outstanding temperament. As for the male, he was dressed in a western style with leather shoes, who looked pretty handsome. Apparently, he was a young talent.
Anyone could tell that the group of people were either rich or dignified.
The waiter was just leading the group of people to walk inside, including Qin Sheng and Lin Su. It just happened that they ran into them. While chatting with Auntie Wang, Qin Sheng accidentally lifted up his head. After he saw their faces, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden. It did not occur to him that he would come across that group of people at that time and place.
“What a f**king coincidence.”
If he had a choice, he would rather not eat dinner there that night. If he could choose all over again, he would definitely turn around and leave without any hesitation.
However, there was no chance left for him anymore. His acquaintances among the crowd of people also recognized him. Of course, they also recognized Wang Li by his side and Xin Xin behind him.
At the same time, both Wang Li and Xin Xin had also recognized the acquaintances across them. They were at a loss immediately. It did not occur to either of them that they would meet them there at all. That was so coincidental yet so embarrassing.
Because the acquaintances among the crowd of people happened to be three members of Su Qin’s family.
“Lao Su, what’s wrong with you? Are you drunk?” One of the two middle-aged men walking at the front teased the other one by his side. As for the other pretty learned and refined man, who had combed his glistering hair neatly, he was staring at Qin Sheng and Wang Li across him and was dazed. Obviously, he did not think of the possibility that he would meet Qin Sheng there. Plus, he had not seen Qin Sheng for three to four years.
He was Su Qin’s father, Su Yongxian.
Su Yongxian stared at Qin Sheng on his opposite side closely. The looks in his eyes were complicated. His face seemed to take on a ghastly expression. At that time, Su Qin’s mom, Meng Qiong also saw Qin Sheng. Unlike Su Yongxian, who was calm, obviously, Meng Qiong was pretty indignant.
As for Su Qin, who walked in the rear, on her way out, she had been chatting with the youth by her side absent-mindedly. She knew the purpose of the dinner that night. Obviously, the parents of those two families were intending to make a pair of them. However, she could only put one person in his heart. There was no more space available. Since she still could not forget Qin Sheng, it was impossible for her to take in another strange man. If she could put Qin Sheng behind, she would have started a new relationship earlier.
As the heads of the two families, who walked at the front, they stopped all of a sudden, Su Qin felt pretty confused and subconsciously looked at the people on her opposite side. As she looked over, time froze for a moment. She was stupefied on the spot and somewhat at a loss.
“How could they show up here?”
At that moment, Su Qin did not even notice Lin Su by Qin Sheng’s side. She cared more about what would Qin Sheng and Auntie Wang think of that thing taking place that night. How was she going to explain to them? Would they misunderstand her?
From that, it could be seen how deeply Su Qin loved Qin Sheng. Though it had been a long time, she still could not give him up, deep within her heart.
On the opposite side, Lin Su, who did not know what was going on, walked to Qin Sheng’s side. She casually glimpsed at the group of people as she asked thoughtfully, “What happened?”
Qin Sheng recovered from his surprise and said in a low voice, “Nothing. I just came across a few acquaintances and I will go over to greet them.”
Although he had broken up with Su Qin for several years, after all, Su Qin had always been his most beloved woman. She had accompanied him for six or seven years and gave him the best times of her life.
Plus, Su Qin’s parents had treated him pretty well previously. Back when he had gone to Shanghai to pursue his academic career, it had been Su Qin’s parents who had accompanied him there. At that time, Uncle Lin had been on a business trip and Auntie Wang had been busy taking care of Xin Xin. Su Qin’s parents had helped him prepare everything he needed and settled all the related procedures.
Previously, every time he had gone to Su Qin’s home, Su Qin’s mother would always cook a tableful of sumptuous dishes. She had called him often and inquired after his well-being, treating him completely as her own biological son. Even when she had gone shopping with Su Qin, she would take the initiative to buy clothes for him.
Su Qin’s father had rendered him more help. He had talked with him heart-to-heart frequently and imparted him with much life experiences. From that, it could be seen that he had intended to let Qin Sheng directly go into his company and be his successor after his graduation. In college, every time Su Qin’s father had been on a business trip to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, he would check on them in Fudan University and would bring them many things every time. When some mishap happened to the Lin family later on, Su Qin’s father had been busy visiting his connections to help them. However, unfortunately, the background of their counterpart had been too strong; he had been incapable of doing anything eventually.
Consequently, the Su family did not owe Qin Sheng anything. It was completely the other way around.
As a result, however harshly Su Qin’s parents would scold him that day, Qin Sheng would not avoid them and run away. He walked toward them without any hesitation.
