Chapter 385 - To Pay the Price (2/2)

Auntie Wang also tried to help Qin Sheng get out of this, saying, “Sheng’er, then you’ve been in Beijing all this time? Will you settle down there?”

Qin Sheng said, “Yes. I will stay in Beijing during this period, but for the future, I haven’t decided yet.”

Xin Xin glared at Qin Sheng and asked, “Then why did you disappear without telling us? I asked Brother Lei, but he wouldn’t tell me.”

Qin Sheng said with a sigh, “Something happened at that time, and I had to leave Hangzhou, as did Lao Chang and Hao Lei. If my family hadn’t found me, I might still be wandering around or have gotten into big trouble. And later, I just surprisingly met my family. I thought I was an orphan, so I needed time to accept these changes. That’s why I haven’t come back until today.”

Auntie Wang pulled Xin Xin and said, “Xin Xin, don’t blame your brother. He’s had a hard time outside, and many things are not like what you are thinking.”

Qin Sheng was moved by Auntie Wang, and Xin Xin also mumbled, “Mom, I know you care about him the most. I didn’t really mean it. Of course I know that he has had a hard time outside in these years.”

In order not to make Qin Ran feel left out, Auntie Wang turned to look at Qin Ran and was about to ask her some questions, but she just didn’t know how to address her. Qin Ran was smart enough to get that, so she immediately said with a smile, “Auntie Wang, you can just call me Ran Ran. From now on, we are all family. I will treat you the same way as Qin Sheng. You are also my auntie, and Xin Xin is also my sister.”

Like Qin Ran had said, regarding what Qin Sheng owed the Lin Family, he might not be able to repay it all within a short time, so she would help him repay it.

“Sister, besides sister Lin Su, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met,” Xin Xin said cleverly with a smile.

Qin Sheng intended to expose her lie and said, “It seems that you’ve said that to a lot of people!”

“What did you say?” Xin Xin asked angrily.

Qin Sheng immediately looked up at the ceiling and said, “Eh? What happened? I don’t know.”

Qin Ran was made speechless by them, but she could tell that Qin Sheng and Xin Xin really had a deep affection for each other. Apparently, Qin Sheng was less close to her, so she needed to do her best to draw Xin Xin over to her side. Then she could ask her about Qin Sheng’s history.

Auntie Wang ignored the fooling around between Qin Sheng and Xin Xin, and continued to ask, “Ran Ran, who else is in your family?”

In order to make Auntie Wang at peace, Qin Ran would tell everything about the Qin Family to her, because she knew that Auntie Wang would surely worry about Qin Sheng when he went back to Beijing, afraid that he might be treated badly there.

“Auntie Wang, you knew my grandfather, so I won’t talk about him. My father has his business in Beijing, and he has made some achievements, but he is actually just a businessman.” Qin Ran started telling them about the Qin Family. If Qin Changan could hear what his daughter had said about him, he would feel really sorry for himself, as his daughter didn’t think highly of him at all.

Qin Ran continued, “My mother died when Qin Sheng and I were little. And that’s why my grandfather took Qin Sheng away.”

Auntie Wang and Xin Xin were shocked to hear that. At the same time, they also felt sorry for Qin Sheng and Qin Ran.

“I also have an Eldest Uncle, who used to work in the government, but afterward, he became a monk. My First Lady went far away to Canada, and hasn’t come back during these years. About my mother’s home, my Grandpa died a few years ago. My Grandma is in poor health. I have an uncle who serves in the army and a Small Aunt who got married in Shanghai. She has been taking care of my Grandma all the time.” Qin Ran spoke truthfully. It was a simple introduction of the family, but whoever heard that would immediately realize that her family was not common at all.

“It sounds complicated.” Auntie Wang smiled bitterly, but she could think it through. After all, the Qin Family had lived for generations in Beijing, which was the capital of the country.

Qin Ran was afraid that Auntie Wang would misunderstand her, so she continued saying, “Actually, my family members are all good people. They’ve been worried about Qin Sheng all these years. So, Auntie Wang, you don’t need to worry about him. When he goes back with me, no one will give him a hard time. If it still bothers you, you could go to Beijing later and take a look for yourself.”

“It does not bother me. It’s just that this kid has suffered so much in these years…” Auntie Wang said sorrowfully, but then she realized that what she said might spoil the mood, so she stopped talking right away.

Xin Xin changed the topic at the moment and said, “Brother, are you still going back to Beijing? It’s been years since the last time I spent the Spring Festival with you. And you also owe me a lot of lucky money!”

Hearing her words, Qin Sheng found it hard to tell her the truth, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “Auntie, Xin Xin, I might not be able to spend the Spring Festival with you this year either. We have to go back to Beijing tomorrow morning, but I’ll be back right after the festival, because it’s time to solve the case of Uncle Lin.”

Auntie Wang and Xin Xin were feeling upset upon hearing that Qin Sheng had to leave tomorrow morning, but their attention was immediately drawn by Qin Sheng’s last words.

“What does that mean, brother?” Xin Xin asked subconsciously.

Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes and said while gritting his teeth, “Those who have framed you when I was not at home, I have remembered them all. I had no power before, but now, I’m going to make them pay the price!”
