Chapter 403 - Qin Sheng Could Only Do So (2/2)

After they went into the restaurant, they found their seats and placed an order.

Then Qin Sheng took a glimpse at Luo Xiu and said to Cao Yufeng, “Well? Don’t you plan to introduce her to me?”

It was not until this time that Cao Yufeng realized that he had not even introduced Luo Xiu to Qin Sheng yet. He found it funny and did not know whether he should laugh or cry as he said, “Let me formally introduce her to you. She is my girlfriend, Luo Xiu. To be more exact, she is my fiancée now. We got engaged before New Year’s Eve. Xiu Xiu, you must know the identity of this handsome guy, who was extremely brave a moment ago. He was my roommate at college, Qin Sheng.”

Qin Sheng took the initiative to greet Luo Xiu formally and smiled as he said, “Congratulations, Lao Er. It did not occur to me that you would be the second brave guy who is ready to go into the marriage grave.”

“You will also get married sooner or later. I will not talk about Xia Ding, who is a womanizer as well as a young master. However, I heard from Xia Ding that you had a girlfriend too, who turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman. When can I see her?” Back when they had just met there, Cao Yufeng had felt somewhat nervous, knowing that the group of people sitting beside Qin Sheng was not ordinary at all. Rarely had he talked. However, there was nobody else there now but themselves. It was not until this time that Cao Yufeng returned to his old self.

Speaking of Lin Su, Qin Sheng sighed subconsciously. Cao Yufeng frowned and said, “What happened? Did you break up?’

Qin Sheng shook his head and said, “It’s a long story. I will explain it to you later. I have not seen her for two or three months. Compared with your life, I have gone through a f**king a hard time all the way here.”

At this time, the waiter served the wine. Luo Xiu poured it for them quite naturally. Cao Yufeng held up his glass and said, “It’s the Spring Festival Holiday. We should stop talking about these sad things. I don’t want to dig into your past. I feel quite thankful for meeting you today.”

The Cao Yufeng whom he had known before was back. Qin Sheng held up his glass, drank it down, and said, “After we said goodbye to each other in Shanghai, half a year had passed. Time flies. It did not occur to me that I would meet you here.”

“Well, Big Boss, to be honest, don’t make fun of me. Based on my level, at first, I was not entitled to be at such a party. However, Xiu Xiu wanted to come, saying that she would introduce a few friends to me conveniently. Then I came with her. It did not occur to me that I would run into Du Xuan there. However, upon thinking back, it was quite natural. It was normal for him to attend the party. While for me, it was not. He and I are in the same company. Originally, we were not on good terms with each other. As the saying goes, those who have different beliefs should not work together. We do not usually interact with each other. Well, nobody knew that we would have more conflict and hate each other more because of a woman. I was accidentally involved. He liked a woman who happened to have a crush on me. She had been after me for two years. As for the rest, you know it already.” Cao Yufeng explained what had happened between him and Du Xuan today to Qin Sheng simply, in order to let Qin Sheng know that it was not him but Du Xuan who had taken the initiative to pick the fight.

Qin Sheng nodded smilingly and said, “I know your character well. Never had you been in trouble during the four years at college. However, you’ve been pretty lucky in your adventures with women. Aren’t you afraid that Xiu Xiu will ask you to kneel on the washboard?”

Cao Yufeng said with a smile, “It won’t happen. Xiu Xiu knows it better than anybody else.”

Qin Sheng laughed out loud. “Hahaha, good boy. It seems you have found a good wife.” Though an unpleasant interlude had happened a moment ago, Qin Sheng was in quite a good mood since he had met his Lao Er again.

Cao Yufeng held up his glass and drank another toast to Qin Sheng. After that, the smile on his face became dim gradually. He said quite solemnly, “Big Boss, anyway, thanks so much for today. If it were not for you, I would have been greatly disgraced. Consequently, Xiu Xiu and I will drink a toast to you.”

Qin Sheng held up his glass, smiled bitterly, and said, “Based on our relationship, you don’t have to say these words. Stop talking nonsense. Drink!”

After Cao Yufeng drank up the wine, he said somewhat self-deprecatingly, “Well, Big Boss, don’t look down upon me. We could be unscrupulous at college. Fighting and making trouble were nothing at all. However, we are more helpless after entering society. I can only put up with Du Xuan today, who hit me and who I could not offend. All I could do was act submissively and put up with him. I don’t want to put up with him either, since nobody is willing to be a loser. However, sometimes you have no choice but to be a loser since you are not capable of acting like a boss. After all, he was born into a powerful family and his uncle is a leader in Ministries and Commissions.”

Qin Sheng was somewhat at a loss, realizing that his previous words of “Lao Er, when did you become so weak? You did not even dare to fight back after being hit” had hurt Lao Er. He said in a hurry, “I said that unintentionally. Don’t take them to heart, Lao Er.”

Cao Yufeng shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, “Big Boss, I am not blaming you. It’s just that I am somewhat emotional. I think it is not just me who would be so in such a situation. Lao San and Lao Si might have more difficulties.”

Qin Sheng poured the wine to the brim as he said, “We won’t talk about that today. I will trick Lao San and Lao Si into coming to Beijing after the Spring Festival Holiday. At that time, let’s complain freely and get good and drunk.”

Cao Yufeng, who also thought he was too emotional, said in a hurry, “OK. Let’s stop talking about these things. Let’s drink. Drink.”

But they did not spend much time there drinking. That was because it was the Spring Festival Holiday now. Everybody had chores to attend to tomorrow. However, they did have a good time drinking.

Qin Sheng and Cao Yufeng did not talk much nonsense at all. Cao Yufeng did not ask what had happened to Qin Sheng previously. Nor did Qin Sheng ask how he was doing with his current job and so on. That was because these things mattered nothing to them at all.

They felt grateful for meeting and drinking with each other at this moment.

During the gathering, Qin Ran texted Qin Sheng and asked him where he was. Qin Sheng had replied that he was in a restaurant named Tong Le on Ghost Street. Consequently, Qin Ran asked Uncle Gongsun to arrange a car, which had been waiting for Qin Sheng outside until he parted with Cao Yufeng and Xiu Xiu.

On his way back to the siheyuan of the Qin Family, Qin Sheng felt somewhat emotional. He felt more aggrieved when he reflected on Cao Yufeng’s words of “All I could do was act submissively and put up with him.” However, they had no other way out. That was because this was how life was supposed to be.

Consequently, Qin Sheng became more assertive about the thought in his heart. Since he had gone back to the Qin Family, he would not think about nonsense anymore. He would accept his identity comfortably. Only by doing so could he go further. Only by doing so could he get revenge on his enemies and be less helpless…
