Chapter 372 - Trick (2/2)

Unfortunately, Qin Sheng had no time to meet her. He had promised Lin Su to pick her up in Ningbo by himself. Now, Qin Sheng had the Qin Family behind him to face the Lin Family. He decided that when he would go to pick up Lin Su, he would bring up a proposal of marriage. Qin Sheng had begun to expect how the Lins would treat him then.

The Lin Family had always looked down upon him. Qin Sheng understood that, but he still felt upset in some way. After all, the world ran with the law of the jungle. But one, who was a prey today, might become a predator the next day.

Qin Ran thought her words made Qin Sheng sad. She said with comfort, “I know about your matters. She’s good and deserves your care. When you’re prepared to meet her, I’ll go with you.”

“Thanks.” Qin Sheng nodded with relief.

It was a good day with lovely sunshine. After the breakfast, Qin Ran and Qin Sheng drank tea at the second floor’s balcony, enjoying the sunshine. When it was the time, Qin Ran sent Qin Sheng to Tangning ONE, the high-end residential area near the Qinghua University as Qin Sheng had class in the afternoon.

There was less than a month before the Chinese New Year, and today’s class was the last one before the holidays. All classmates would attend the class and the party in the evening. Qin Sheng didn’t refuse out of politeness.

On their way to the Qinghua University, Qin Sheng called the class coordinator’s secretary to explain he had something to deal with at home, and thus he had been unable to attend the class. The secretary accepted his explanation. After all, those upper-class students were busy all the time.

When Qin Sheng entered the classroom, Han Xu, who sat beside him, had arrived. He didn’t wear hip-hop-style clothes today, but a relatively formal black coat. He looked much more handsome than before.

Han Xu saw Qin Sheng and said teasingly, “Qin Sheng, why didn’t you attend the morning class? Were you too tired last night and couldn’t get up in time? Young man, for health reasons, don’t have too much se—”

“F*ck off!” Qin Sheng cursed to interrupt him. He thought, “A filthy mouth cannot utter decent language.”

Han Xu knew about Qin Sheng. He would only curse at his real friends. Han Xu also felt the hypocritical courtesy boring to death.

“We can invite female partners for tonight’s party. Have you found one? Do you need any help? I can get one for you. You won’t feel disappointed,” said Han Xu, ready to help.

Qin Sheng shook his head and said, “No.”

He was going to visit his mother’s tomb tomorrow. It was his first time visiting, so he was going to the party and, after a while, go home to sleep.

At this moment, Wei Li, who was embarrassed by Qin Sheng enormously, came. He was still good to Qin Sheng, regardless of what had happened the previous night. Qin Sheng saw Wei Li and sighed, thinking that this man sucked. Han Xu didn’t care about anything, while Wei Li was incredibly sophisticated.

“Qin Sheng, can we talk?” Wei Li started the conversation.

Han Xu raised his head and glanced at Wei Li. He didn’t have any good impression of Wei Li and didn’t bother to greet him. Han Xu knew that Qin Sheng knew this man, but he didn’t care. Thus, he lowered his head again and played the phone game.

“What is there for us to talk about?” Qin Sheng sneered.

“Qin Sheng, I told you that I was willing to be your friend. Maybe you have some misunderstanding with me,” explained Wei Li calmly. He really didn’t know why Qin Sheng showed so much animosity towards him. “Did I speak in the wrong way?” he thought.

Qin Sheng turned on his laptop and began to read the class materials for financial analysis. He answered Wei Li in a perfunctory way, “Of course not.”

“My purpose yesterday was to greet you. Why did you pretend that you didn’t know me?” Wei Li complained. If Qin Sheng had introduced him to others as a friend, he could have gotten to know a lot of people in the party. If so, he could have been closer to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng squinted and raised his head. “It’s impolite to disturb others’ discussion. I know what you’re thinking about. Most people in this world have no wisdom but tricks.”

Qin Sheng’s words made Wei Li embarrassed. He didn’t expect that Qin Sheng would take things on the table, so he was not sure how to deal with Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng said, showing some interest, “If you want to be my friend, you should at least give me enough reasons. So…what’s your value to me as a friend?”

This was a chance for Wei Li. He thought Qin Sheng’s words over and over, feeling interested. Unfortunately, he still had no answer.

At that moment, the professor came in. Wei Li had to leave, but he was still thinking about that.

In the evening, Qin Sheng and Han Xu went to the final party together. The party was held in a high-end hotel near the university. Han Xu’s partner was a beautiful lady from the school of law. Qin Sheng, as he had said, hadn’t brought any female partner. Qin Sheng entered the party hall and then greeted with the class coordinator and classmate acquaintances. He only stayed for a while before leaving.

The next morning, Qin Sheng took a shower and dressed himself formally for the tomb visit. Qin Ran drove there, waiting outside to pick him up.

Qin Sheng got on the car, and then Qin Ran drove him to the suburban area. At the same time, Gongsun had been on the way as well.
