Chapter 286 Forget I (1/2)
t
Qin Sheng, who thought Lin Su was going to say something serious about her work or a business trip, had not expected this. What Lin Su had said gave him a lot of food for thought.
Lin Changhe’s attitude was intriguing and vague. Qin Sheng was not sure that this was just Lin Changhe’s personal view or the Lins’ opinion. What on earth did the Lins want to do this time? Lin Changhe had not done anything. Instead, he had asked for communication. Besides, why had Lin Changhe said all this? Their situation in Hangzhou had been revealed by Yan Chaozong, who had been staying in Hangzhou.
These things were particularly important to Qin Sheng. He thought the Lins would know they were in trouble before Yan Chaozong, but the truth was unexpectedly quite the opposite.
As far as he knew, Yan Chaozong would never stay silent after suffering a loss, especially when he had the absolute advantage. Last time, Qin Sheng had been lucky to escape. If Uncle Zhuang hadn’t appeared to save him at the last moment, he would have been dead now. If one took into consideration the fact that Yan Chaozong knew Qin Sheng was in Hangzhou, this man definitely was not staying in Hangzhou for vacation. So what was he doing? Qin Sheng was eager to figure it out. The incident last night had probably been caused by Yan Chaozong, who actually had the ability to do it.
However, Qin Sheng had to consult Lin Su or at least discover Lin Su’s attitude. Thus, he asked her, “What do you think of this?”
Upon hearing Qin Sheng’s words, Lin Su shook her head and said, “Except my grandmother, I don’t care about any of the Lins anymore.”
Qin Sheng knew that Lin Su had been missing her grandmother. He was not a selfish person, so he did not want to make Lin Su give up everything for him. Therefore, he said seriously, “I’ll meet and talk with your uncle. I wonder what they’re thinking.”
“When?” Lin Su’s eyes were filled with joy. Of course, she hoped that their conflict with the Lins could be settled. Although she said she didn’t care about the Lins except her grandmother, she was a member of the Lin family and had gotten along with them for over twenty years.
Qin Sheng was decisive as he said, “Now. Call your uncle and tell him I’ll wait for him in the cafe downstairs.”
“Okay, I’m asking him.” Lin Su immediately went to her bedroom to make a phone call.
Qin Sheng was still thinking about the connection between the incident last night and what Lin Changhe had said. He had to ask around for what Yan Chaozong was doing and whom he had met during his stay in Hangzhou. However, this would be quite difficult.
Lin Su finished the phone call soon and went back to the sitting room before telling Qin Sheng that her uncle was now at Hangzhou’s branch to deal with some business and would be here soon.
It would be some time before Lin Changhe came, so Qin Sheng and Lin Su finally had some time to enjoy a meal. Then, Qin Sheng washed the dishes, changed into relaxing clothes, and went to the cafe downstairs with Lin Su to wait for Lin Changhe. This would be his third meeting with Lin Changhe.
They ordered two coffees and waited for about ten minutes before Lin Changhe finally arrived at the cafe. Lin Changhe had come alone. It seemed that he was trying to show his sincerity and win Qin Sheng’s trust.
Lin Su and Qin Sheng stood up to welcome him. Lin Su was a little excited, for she had not met any of her relatives for almost half a year. Her uncle had been kind to her, unlike her other mean relatives. However, she still carefully hid her emotions and tried to look calm as she smiled gently and greeted him. “Uncle.”
Lin Changhe sighed with emotion and said, “My little girl, it has been almost ten months since I last met you. You’ve become slimmer. This is not good. You also look tired. You don’t have to lead such a hard life.”
“Uncle, we did not come to talk about this today.” Lin Su was afraid that this would frustrate Qin Sheng, so she tried to keep her distance from her uncle.
When Lin Changhe moved his attention to him, Qin Sheng greeted him calmly. “Second Uncle Lin.”
Lin Changhe nodded and smiled at Qin Sheng. “Take a seat. We have a lot to talk about.”
The three of them took their seats. Lin Changhe was sitting across from Lin Su, keeping some distance from Qin Sheng. Today’s rehearsal was on his mind. He should not stand on the opposite side of Qin Sheng, but consider Qin Sheng and Lin Su an item so that the conversation could go on smoothly. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would feel uncomfortable and say emotional words.
After all, he had experienced so much at the business venue. Of course, he had the wisdom to tackle this kind of occasion.
“You left a long time ago. How are you doing these days?” Lin Changhe asked, taking the initiative. It would be better to create a friendly atmosphere before they got to the point.
Lin Su shot Qin Sheng a glance and answered, “There are no storms or huge waves. We just lead a very calm and normal life. I don’t need to worry that much and meet people I don’t want to meet now.”
