Chapter 369 - Too Naive (1/2)
The name of this bar was also very interesting. It was called Dayin (Big Camouflage), which gave the idea of ‘hiding in the city is far better than hiding in the forest’. After all, this bar was hidden in the city area. The guests in the restaurant outside definitely did not know that there was still a high-class bar hidden behind.
The bar’s space was not tiny. The decoration was very unique, as well. There were three pool tables in the middle, and large sofa seats lined the windows. Four-seaters were scattered all over. On the north side against the wall was the bar counter. The whole wall was filled with all kinds of alcohol in the wine cabinet. As long as you could find the name for it, they had it. There were two bartenders, one male one female. They were both good looking. After all, those who could come in were not ordinary people, and the owner was not short of this sum of money.
On the right was a corridor leading deeper into the bar. There was a cigar room, a red wine room, and three small private rooms. However, those had to be reserved in advance, and there must be more than six people using them. First come first served, regardless of status.
At this moment, Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were the center of attention of the whole bar. They did not care about these playful looks. Qin Ran continued to lead Qin Sheng forward. Her best friends since childhood were playing pool.
These childhood friends were none other than those who had accompanied Qin Ran to Shanghai to trample the place. Other than Fan Dezhi, who had not come, Zhang Da, and Ma Weiyang were both there. The other two were also Qin Ran’s good friends in the same social circle.
Seeing Qin Ran bring Qin Sheng over, they were not shocked at all as they had already heard the news. They put down their clubs and walked towards the siblings slowly. Ma Weiyang wore a grey tight sweater that showed off her perfect figure. She asked, “The sun has risen from the west! Our Big Miss Qin is going to announce important news. I have waited all these years for this, I can finally retire from my role as best friend.”
Zhang Da held up a wine glass beside him and squinted his eyes while echoing, “Ranran, you’ve kept a good secret, we didn’t even find anything amiss! Good job!”
A slightly younger man teased, “Sister Ran, quickly introduce us to our brother-in-law! I’m so lucky to be here today!”
There was a young man at the back who did not talk. He was in sportswear and seemed like he did not fit in. He just observed Qin Sheng from head to toe and felt that it was not like what everyone thought. This was not how Sister Ran did things.
“Can’t you guys tell?” Qin Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry. This bunch of people was too unreliable. Qin Sheng did not explain either, just letting them to misunderstand. Anyway, this was his biological sister, there was no taboo about it.
Ma Weiyang whispered, “What? What are we supposed to see?” “Do you need us to say that you’re a perfect pair made for each other? Ranran, why have you become like this?”
Zhang Da frowned slightly and said, “Ranran, stop teasing us. Introduce us.”
Others did not say a word, they waited for Qin Ran to give her final answer. Qin Ran took a deep breath and pulled Qin Sheng alone as she took one step forward. “Since you guys are all so dumb, I can only reveal the mystery. Let me introduce to you, this talented, young gentleman is called Qin Sheng. He is my younger brother, my biological younger brother. The brother whom you all know.”
That one sentence was like five peals of thunder going off in the sky. Everyone was shocked to the core.
Ma Da and Ma Weiyang were shocked because they knew of Qin Sheng’s existence. This was Qin Ran’s deepest scar. Back then, her mother’s passing and her brother going missing had been a great hit to her. She had stayed quiet for a long time. This bunch of friends had used countless methods to help her recover. All these years, no one had brought it up.
However, all these years, Qin Ran still remembered what had happened back then, especially her brother. She had been worried about him the most. Everyone knew why Qin Ran had not dated nor gotten married. She had once said that if she could not find her brother, she would spend the rest of her life alone.
When Fan Dezhi had gotten married, he had drunk too much and completely let go of his lingering affections for Qin Ran. However, he had also hoped that she could let go of these things as well and chase after her own happiness. Although he could not give her happiness, at least, he wished to see her happy.
However, Qin Ran’s answer had still been very firm. She would not get married unless she had found her brother. Fan Dezhi had been so pissed that he had almost cursed. Qin Ran had left on the spot. Zhang Da and the rest had nearly ended up in a fight with Fan Dezhi. If it had not been for the crowd that had held them back, Fan Dezhi’s wedding would probably have had to be pushed back.
However, it had already been more than 20 years since the incident. Everyone had not had not have high hopes anymore. After all, the Qin family was not an ordinary family. After failing for so many years, the hopes would definitely be diminished slowly. Hence, everyone had been pitying Qin Ran from the bottom of their hearts.
Hence, at this moment, Zhang Da and Ma Weiyang could not believe it at all. This man was Qin Ran’s younger brother who had been missing for so many years? This was too mind-blowing. It was like a miracle. They stared at him intensely. The more they looked at him, the more they realized the two siblings did resemble each other. Besides, they knew Qin Sheng when he was young, so some memories started to become more evident.
Hence, their gazes and expressions changed from the shock and dumbfoundedness at the beginning to confusion right away and finally, surprise and excitement.
As for the other two, they were still dumbfounded as they had never heard that Qin Ran still had a younger brother. They all knew her to be the only daughter of Master Qin.
