Chapter 346 - The Old House (2/2)

Also, he did not expect that he, as a loser that was dictated around by others, would become a super-rich second-generation in the blink of an eye. What a dark humor.

Qin Sheng did not respond to that topic. The largest amount of money he ever saw was at the illegal boxing match at the underground boxing ring in Hangzhou, and that was won by Chang Baji’s capabilities. Now someone wanted to give him a private jet, wasn’t that insane?

“I’m sleepy, I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up when we’re there,” Qin Sheng said calmly to Qin Ran. He then closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Qin Ran smiled and nodded, “Okay, have some rest. I’ll wake you up when we’re there.”

After Qin Sheng fell asleep, Qin Ran then ordered an air stewardess to bring her a blanket and she covered Qin Sheng personally…

More than an hour later, the Gulfstream G650 landed in Capital International Airport. Gongsun had already made the necessary arrangements. Two of the Qin family’s Mercedes were already waiting at the tarmac.

When Qin Sheng woke up, he found a grey blanket on his body. He naturally knew who put it on for him. She was probably the one who covered him in the hotel as well. Hence, Qin Sheng looked towards Qin Ran and said a heartfelt ‘thanks’.

Until now, Qin Sheng was still not used to his new identity, so he felt a little distant from Qin Ran. There was a complete lack of a close relationship between siblings. But he knew that his older sister really wanted to treat him well. He remembered all these in his heart.

After getting onto the car, the two Mercedes left the airport. Gongsun had just made a call and he turned around to ask, “Your Father has a business gathering tonight, he’s having dinner and tea with the Minister of Commerce and the leader of SAFE, so he isn’t back yet. It’s already late, should we go back to the siheyuan first or?”

This was a typical daily conversation between Gongsun and Qin Ran, he did not try to hide anything because of Qin Sheng. But when Qin Sheng heard it, he was shocked, which was followed by many doubts.

The doubts from the very beginning, then the Song family’s fear, and right after that, the four-billion most-advanced Gulfstream private jet, followed by the chit-chat session with leaders from the Ministry of Commerce and SAFE. Qin Sheng was increasingly curious about this father. His identity was really mysterious.

Qin Ran thought for a moment before replying, “Then let’s go back to the old house first.”

This was Qin Ran’s original plan, but it was already too late by the time they returned. Qin Sheng obviously wanted to visit Qin Changan first, so she did not plan to bring him to the old house directly. But now that Qin Changan had yet to return, she thought she should bring him there first.

Because that was the real home to her. There were shared memories of Qin Sheng and Mother in the house. There was nothing in the siheyuan that belonged to them.

“Okay,” Gongsun nodded silently. This was expected. He then ordered the driver to head straight to West Chang’an Avenue.

The Qin family’s old house was located at Muxidi, along West Chang’an Avenue. It was very close to Yu Yuan Tan and the Diaoyutai State Guest House. That area was called Sanli River. It was surrounded by Ministries, Commissions, and their committees. That small area used to be called the Big Yard of Planning Committee. Those who are familiar with Beijing’s history all knew that that was a magical place. The most famous Red Tower Auditorium of the Planning Committee in office was ranked the top of the four big Auditoriums in olden-days Beijing. The other three were found in China University of Geosciences, Beijing Wuzi University and the CPPCC.

Of course, this was not the most magical part about the Big Yard of Planning Committee. It was the fact that as of today, this place had served as an office for 21 Vice Premiers and Members of State Council, more than 200 Ministers and Deputy Ministers, as well as countless well-known individuals excelling in all walks of life. This was the magical part about this place.

But after the label of Planning Committee was taken off, the legend came to an end. Today, this place was already in ruins. The majority of the places were already revamped. The run-down backyard housed some retired elderly or those who were not willing to move on. Majority of the younger generation had already left. They would only come here during the weekends to take a look.

Back then, the Qin family lived here as a family of four. Of course, this did not include Old Master Qin. He was a mysterious master of the family. However, a number of the Qin family’s friends also lived here. This was where Qin Changan started building his legacy. Without those legendary stories back then, there would not be today’s Qin Changan.

After the two cars drove into the big yard, they took many turns before pulling to a stop in front of a building in yard No.3.Back then, the Big Yard of Planning Committee was very big. It was a solidarity world on its own. It had everything that you would need, so it was divided into several small yards.

It was a late winter night. Under the illumination of the yellow street lamps, these old houses gave off an eerie vibe.

After the group got off their cars, Qin Ran lifted her head to take a glance at this six-story small building. The corners of her lips curled subconsciously. Her memories of her childhood were all here.

“You guys can just wait downstairs,” Qin Ran ordered the rest. This was a personal space between her and the Qin family members, she did not want to be disturbed by outsiders.

Qin Sheng frowned slightly. He knew that this was definitely not the Qin family’s residence. That mysterious father of his definitely would not be living here. After all, this place was already very run-down. Hence, he asked, “Where are we?”

Qin Ran squinted her eyes and said with a smile, “This is our home, it’s where you lived when you were young.”

“Home?” Qin Sheng muttered to himself. This word was both familiar yet foreign to him, as he never had a true home.

“Yup,” Qin Ran nodded and turned around to look up at the familiar building. She smiled faintly. “Mom, I brought my younger brother back.”
