Chapter 372 - Trick (1/2)

In the early morning, Qin Changan got up first. The snow outside had not melted, and some places on the road were covered with ice. Qin Changan didn’t go out for jogging, but he went downstairs to the gym in the basement for exercise.

After Qin Changan finishing his exercise, he found Gongsun, who had been waiting for him in the dining room. Qin Changan found that today’s breakfast was more abundant than usual. He felt surprised and asked, “Anything special today? Why do we have a feast for breakfast?”

Gongsun gave Qin Changan a glass of milk and said with giggling, “Qin Sheng and Qin Ran are home. They are still asleep.”

Qin Changan didn’t expect that Qin Sheng and Qin Ran were back to the siheyuan. He thought they would never return to his place. It was the first time Qin Sheng had stayed here since he had been back to Beijing. What was more surprising, Qin Ran was back as well.

Qin Changan was happy about their return, which made this siheyuan like a real home, rather than his place to live. He hoped that his daughter and son could live with him up till now.

Gongsun continued to explain. “They arrived home at two o’clock in the morning, so I didn’t tell you. They both drank wine. Qin Sheng was on a jag, and Qin Ran was also a little drunk. They are sleeping now.”

“They got drunk?” said Qin Changan and frowned. However, he didn’t complain any more. Young people all liked drinking wine, and so did Qin Changan when he was young.

Gongsun hesitated and then said, “Should I ask them to get up and have breakfast?”

“No. Let them sleep a little longer. I’ll go out and deal with something. You’ll come with me,” said Qin Changan. Gongsun answered “yes” and then took a seat, having breakfast with Qin Changan.

It was ten o’clock in the morning when Qin Sheng woke up. He opened his eyes, feeling thirsty, a heavy headache, as well as a stomachache. Qin Sheng was hugely astonished when he found that he was in a strange place. He broke into a cold sweat and got up in a second.

When he recalled what happened last night, Qin Sheng felt relieved from being frightened. The scene triggered his memory of being hunted by enemies. However, now things were different. Last night, he had drunk with his sister and her friends. No matter what happened, his sister would handle everything for him.

Qin Sheng was not sure where he was, but he had an answer on his mind. Qin Sheng put on his clothes and left the bedroom, seeing the yard outside. The answer proved to be correct. He was exactly in the Qin Family’s siheyuan.

“Young Master, good morning.” The servant waiting at the door greeted him politely.

Qin Sheng was not used to being treated that way. He felt awkward, but still nodded with a smile and said, “Where’s my sister?”

“Miss Qin got up just now. She’s waiting downstairs for you to have breakfast together,” answered a 30-year-old maid. The servants and maids in the Qin Family had been all hired for several years now. The Qin Family gave them good payment and benefits.

Qin Sheng stretched himself and said, “Tell her I’m taking a shower and then having breakfast.”

Qin Sheng went back to his room and took a shower. But he didn’t have clean clothes. His own clothes were drowned in the smell of wine and smoke. Actually, Qin Sheng had restrained himself and hadn’t smoke last night, for he knew that his sister hated the smell.

In the dining room, seeing Qin Sheng come in, Qin Ran, who was refreshed after sleeping, said with giggling, “Are you all right now?”

“Not yet,” said Qin Sheng and nodded. He felt really bad due to the heavy headache and the uncomfortable feelings in the stomach.

Qin Ran gave him a glance and said, “You drank too much with Zhang Da and the others last night. Now you sow what you reap.”

Qin Sheng giggled. He believed that if one began to drink, then they had to drink enough, even to get drunk, or they should never begin.

“You still want to drink next time?” asked Qin Ran.

Qin Sheng showed a childish look and took a seat beside Qin Ran. “I dare say I’ll quit, but you won’t believe me. I really had a nice time last night. I was too drunk that I lost some of my memory yesterday. By the way, what about the others?”

Qin Ran shook her head as she said, “Weiyang drank a lot for you when others came to toast, so she was on a jag like you. Her husband came and took her home. As for the others, some of them went home, and those who were too drunk just stayed in the hotel nearby. I called them all just now. Some have gone to work, and others are still sleeping.”

Qin Sheng held a glass of orange juice and said, “I’m thankful to Sister Weiyang, or I would have gotten drunk much earlier.”

“Exactly. She’s my best friend. Of course, she would be good to you. Do you remember that Weiyang said she would introduce you to a girlfriend? That lady is the daughter of her husband’s friend. Let her give you the lady’s number,” said Qin Ran and giggled.

Qin Sheng was astonished, for he didn’t expect that he would spout nonsense when getting drunk. “Really? Sister, don’t mess with me. I’m an honest person. Let alone, I already have a girlfriend.”

“I know. I’ve seen her,” said Qin Ran, pretending to be casual.

Qin Sheng said nothing. He hadn’t contacted with Lin Su since he had sent a message to her when he had been leaving Jiujiang for Qingdao. Qin Sheng knew that Lin Su was definitely worried about him and was waiting for him in Ningbo. But he had experienced too much in recent times. Qin Sheng needed time to digest all the things and calm down. Thus, he preferred to be alone, rather than getting in touch with others. Since things were much better now, he should tell Lin Su about these to reduce her worries.
